Objective Seen from the laparoscope, there is massive adhesion after the peritonitis, an operation with a large incision or radiation treatment in right upper abdomen. After failing to dissociate the adhesion and create e-nough space with the help of laparoscope, the laparoscopic cholecystectomy from the left upper abdomen is adopted depending on the specific situation to explore the possibility and practicability of creating instrument channel and operating space. Methods From May 2001 to May 2015, 13 patients (with a medical history of peritonitis, an opera-tion with a large incision, serious peritonitis or radiation treatment in right upper abdomen) were received operations of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, adhesion was serious near the trauma or otherwise. During the operation, massive adhesion was found in the right upper abdomen. The conventional LC did not work. Instrument channel and operat-ing space were created from the left upper abdomen through facies inferior hepatis and falciform ligament. LC cost 70 minutes to 155 minutes with an average of 117 minutes. Results LC of 13 patients (with a massive adhesion) from left upper abdomen was successful. In this way, it was easy to create instrument channel and operating space and avoid the massive adhesion. The operations took a longer time without injuring stomach intestines and bile vessel. Conclusion Acquired adhesion's peculiarity is negative correlation with distance, LC from the left upper abdomen through facies inferior hepatis and falciform ligament can be avoided the disassociation of massive adhesion and be created the instrument channel and operating space. The two ways are proved to be effective.

OBJECTIVEEndogenous hydrophobic bile acids may be a pathogenetic factor of biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).This study was designed to investigate the effects of hydrophilic ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), when administered early after OLT, on serum liver tests and on the incidence of biliary complications.
METHODSA total of 112 adult patients undergoing OLT were randomly assigned to one of two groups for receipt of UDCA (13 to 15 mg/kg/d for 4 weeks, n=56) or a placebo (n=56). All patients underwent serum liver testing and measurement of serum bile acids during the 4 weeks following OLT.Patients with T-tube underwent measurement of biliary bile acids during the 4 weeks following OLT.Biliary complications, as well as patient and graft survival rates, were analyzed during the follow-up period (mean of 65.6 months).
RESULTSAt post-OLT days 7, 21 and 28, the UDCA-treated patients showed significantly lower levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (all P less than 0.05).In addition, the UDCA-treated patients showed significantly lower incidence of biliary sludge and casts within the first year post-OLT (3.6% vs.14.3%; x2=3.953, P=0.047). However, there were no significant differences for the incidence of other biliary complications at post-OLT years 1, 3 and 5.The graft and patient survival rates were also similar between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONUDCA, when administered early after OLT, improves results from serum liver tests and decreases the incidence of biliary sludge and casts within the first postoperative year.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of scarlet fever in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2005 to 2020, and to provide scientific basis for the investigation and prevention of scarlet fever. MethodsWe collected the scarlet fever incidence data through the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention; used SPSS 17.0 to conduct descriptive epidemiological analysis; and used EpiInfo to analyze and compare the differences in incidence rates between different regions. ResultsA total of 12 012 scarlet fever cases were reported in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2005 to 2020. There were more cases in 2011, 2015 and 2017, and the difference in annual incidence was statistically significant (χ2=6 023.977, P<0.001). Scarlet fever could occur throughout the year, but the peak incidence was from April to June and November to January of the following year. The gender ratio between men and women is 1.57:1, and the patients were concentrated in 4-6 years old. The incidence rate difference in 13 neighborhoods was statistically significant (χ2=2 455.516, P<0.001). The four communities with the highest average annual incidence rate were Xinzhuang Town, Zhuanqiao Town, Maqiao Town, and Gumei Street. ConclusionFrom 2005 to 2020, the incidence of scarlet fever in Minhang District, Shanghai presents a double peak, which matches well the student semesters, and scarlet fever patients are mainly students. Attention should be paid to infection source management and epidemic surveillance in schools and other collective units, implementation of morning inspections and daily disinfection, and other prevention and control measures.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to understand the epidemiological characteristics of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2009 to 2020, and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of HFMD. MethodsThe case information of HFMD was collected from the National Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reporting System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. We used descriptive epidemiological methods to analyze the population characteristics, temporal and spatial distribution of HFMD, the pathogen composition of the case and its changing trend. ResultsFrom 2009 to 2020, a total of 66,198 cases of HFMD were reported in Minhang District, Shanghai, including 377 severe cases (severe case rate 0.57%) and 3 deaths (severs case fatality rate 0.80%). There were more cases of HFMD in boys than in girls (1.5∶1). HFMD patients aged under 5 years predominated, accounting for 88.91% of all cases. Majority of the cases (91.42%) were in scattered children (55.80%) and children in kindergartens (35.62%). The incidence showed a cyclical trend, with low incidence years and high incidence years appearing alternately. The peak period was from April to July, and sometimes there were small peaks during October to December. A total of 12 years time-space scanning analysis revealed 3 clusters. The cluster centers were located in Wujing Town, Huacao Town and Xinzhuang Town, respectively. The proportion of EV71 in common cases was generally decreasing, and reduced to zero in 2019. The proportion of CoxA6 had increased year by year, and reached 75.00% in 2020. CoxA6 became the dominant pathogen in recent years. The number of severe cases had decreased year by year since 2010, and the dominant pathogen was EV71 (90.03% on average) in severe cases. ConclusionThe incidence of HFMD in Minhang District of Shanghai has a downward trend from 2014. The dominant pathogen changes from EV71 to CoxA6, and the dominant pathogen in severe cases is EV71. The discovered temporal and spatial clustering pattern is helpful for in-depth understanding of the distribution and epidemic trend of HFMD in Minhang District, and provides a scientific basis for epidemic prevention and control.
