Objective To discuss the effects of remifentanfl for delthemte hypotension in intracranial aneurysm clamp operation,evaluating the feasibility and safety.Methods Twenty intracranial aneurysm patients undergoing occlusion surgery were prospectively randomized in to two groups:Group Ⅰ and Group Ⅱ.Group Ⅰ adopted remifentanil for deliberate hypotension and Group Ⅱ adopted sodium nitroprusside.The data were analyzed with SPSS 11.5 for Windows.Results Deliberate hypotension was achieved at the target mean arterial pressure(MAP)for remifentanil and nitroprusside respectively.During deliberate hypotension,HR in Group Ⅰ were lower than that in Group Ⅱ(P<0.01).RPP in Group Ⅰwere lower than that in Group Ⅱ(P<0.01).Blood loss in Group Ⅰ were lower than that in Group Ⅱ(P<0.05).Conclusion For general anesthesia in intracranial aneurysm clamp operation,using remifentanil for deliberate hypotemion is a good choice.

Objective To summarize the anatomical variations of the Calot's triangle and explore the best method to manage the variations during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods From December 2006 to December 2008,158 patients with anatomical variation of the Calot's triangle received LC,the clinical data of the cases were reviewed retrospectively.Results Among the cases,15 patients were converted to open surgery because of Ⅰ type Mirizzi syndrome(3 cases),Ⅱ type Mirizzi syndrome(4 cases),low location of the convergence of the cystic duct and the common bile duct(2 cases),cystic duct opening into the posterior wall of the common bile duct(2 cases),the cystic duct and common bile duct sharing 2-cm lateral wall(1 case),severe adhesion of the Calot's triangle(2 cases),and hemorrhage of the posterior cystic artery(1 case).The LC were completed in 143 patients,among which 5 cases had postoperative complications,including biliary leakage in 1 case(cured by a second operation),bleeding at the puncture sites in 2 patients,infection of the puncture site in 1 case,and residual cystic stones in 1 case(cured by ERCP in 2 weeks).Conclusions Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the Calot's triangle is the key to LC.Different surgical strategies should be carried out according to the dissection of the Calot's Triangle area,and the location of the common hepatic duct and common bile duct.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effects of catastrophic disease insurance (CDI), especially to evaluate the influences of CDI on the discrepancy of benefits between the patients covered by the Employee's Medical Insurance (EMI) and the Resident's Medical Insurance (RMI).Methods: The data used in the study are collected from the health insurance database of Zhuhai City in the years of 2012 and 2014.A descriptive analysis is made to depict the general situation of CDI in the city, and a logistic regression model is used to analyze the factors that affect the probability to get the benefits of CDI.Moreover, a triple difference model is built up to probe into the CDI's effects on the discrepancy of reimbursement ratio between patients covered by EMI and RMI.Results: The benefits of CDI favor the patients with old age, high medical expenditures and chronic diseases.When other factors are controlled, patients covered by EMI have lower probability to get CDI benefits than those covered by RMI.Within the patients with high medical expenditures who have gotten the CDI benefits, those covered by EMI enjoy higher reimbursement ratio than those covered by RMI, but CDI decreases the discrepancy by 3.2%.Conclusions: Since the CDI gives more favor to the vulnerable population and narrows the gap of the benefits between EMI and RMI, the policy improves the equity of health security.

Objective To explore the surgical modality and safety of hepatectomy for hepatic hemangiomas close adjoining the hepatic portal and vital blood vessels. Methods From June 2005 to June 2010 17patients of hepatic hemangiomas underwent hepatectomy. Data were retrospectively analyzed.Results All the 17 cases were operated on successfully. Six cases were treated with anatomic liver lobectomy including right hemibepatectomy through liver hanging maneuver by anterior approach in 2 cases,under right liver blood vessel blochade and anatomic right posterior hepatectomy in 2 cases, left hemihepatectomy in 2 cases. Eight cases were treated by hemangiomas enucleation, in 3 cases hemangioma was enuleated through liver parenchyma splitting under intermittent hepatic blood inflow exclusion. There was no postoperative mortality, postoperatively pleural effussion occured in 5 cases,wound infection occured in 1 case, and pulmonary infection occured in 1 case, all the cases were cured. Conclusions Different operation styles should be applied according to the position, size of hepatic hemangiomas close adjoining the hepatic portal and the important blood vessels.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of mini-tract vs standard-tract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in staghorn calculi. METHODS: Between May 2009 and May 2011, 122 patients with renal staghorn calculi were treated by PCNL. Fifty-six patients underwent mini-PCNL and the others underwent standard-PCNL. The therapeutic effect and complication of the 2 groups were compared. RESULTS: The two groups had comparable demographic conditions. Although the operation time was significantly longer in mini-PCNL group [(126±24.5) min vs (98±18.9) min], there was no striking difference in hospital stay [(5.7±1.3) d vs (5.3±1.1) d], hemoglobin drop [(9.5±3.2) g/L vs (10.5±3.3) g/L], stone-free state before charge (91.1% vs 89.4%) and complications. CONCLUSION The efficacy and safety of mini-PCNL and standard-PCNL are not significantly different.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal injection of morphine on patients with severe rectum cancer pain.Methods According to random number table method,28 patients with severe rectum cancer pain,admitted to our hospital from April 2014 to April 2015,were divided into two groups:intrathecal injection of morphine group (group Ⅰ) and epidural injection of morphine group (group E,n=14).Patients in group Ⅰ were treated with intrathecal injection of morphine,and group E with epidural injection of morphine;initial dose of group Ⅰ was 1/300 of daily average dosage,and group E 1/30 of daily average dosage;the additional dose of two groups was 1/10 of initial dose,with a locked time of 30 min.Resting and moving visual analogue scale (VAS) scores,life scores of quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)-C30,and daily dose of morphine were observed on the day before analgesia (T0),first week after analgesia (T1),second week after analgesia (T2),and first month after analgesia (T3).Nausea and vomiting,skin itching,retention of urine,and headache were recorded at the four points.Results As compared with those at T0,the resting and moving VAS scores and daily dose of morphine were significantly lower,life scores of QLQ-C30 at the T1,T2 and T3 were significantly higher in both two groups (P＜0.05).As compared with those in group Ⅰ,the resting and moving VAS scores and daily dose of morphine in group E were significantly higher,life scores of QLQ-C30 in group E were significantly lower at the T1,T2 and T3 (P＜0.05).The incidence of complications in group Ⅰ (21.4％)was significantly lower than that in group E (71.4％).Conclusion The effect of analgesia with intrathecal injection of morphine is better than that of analgesia of epidural injection of morphine in the treatment of severe rectum cancer pain.

Artificial joint replacement is an important means for the treatment of severe joint end-stage diseases such as hip and knee joint,which has obtained satisfactory clinical efficacy,but the postoperative periprosthetic osteolysis (PPO),which is mediated by wear particles,restricts the long-term effect of artificial joints.It is found that wear particles increase the expression of cytokines and inflammatory factors by stimulating the cells around the prosthesis,activate different signaling pathways,promote the imbalance between bone formation mediated by local osteoblasts and bone resorption mediated by osteoclast so as to lose of the local bone mass,and eventually produce osteolysis and aseptic loosening.This article reviews the different signal pathways activated by wear particles in recent years,in order to explore the pathogenesis of PPO and to open up new avenues for its prevention and treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the management of staghorn calculi with solitary kidney. METHODS: Between April 2009 and December 2011, 13 patients with renal staghorn calculi in solitary kidney were treated by PCNL in our hospital. The therapeutic effects and complications were the main points of the analysis. RESULTS: Of the 13 patients, surgery time was 92-164 (117.2±21.5) min; 9 cases underwent PCNL through a single access tract, 4 cases through multi-access tracts. The stone removal rate in one session of PCNL was 76.9%, and the total clearance rate was 92.3%. Hemoglobin dropped 11-32 (16.4±4.6) g/L; one case required blood transfusion; no patient had embolism. Hospital stay was 5-10 (6.9±1.5) days postoperatively. Serum creatinine before PCNL in these patients was 83-237 (146.24±38.73) μmol/L compared to 81-242 (134.56±21.52) μmol/L by the end of the 1-month follow-up period (not statistically different). Similar findings were observed in glomerular filtration rates: before PCNL it was 42-114 (71.32±20.82) mL/min and by the end of the 1-month follow-up it was 55-117 (79.40±22.14) mL/min (not statistically different). CONCLUSION PCNL is effective and safe for the treatment of staghorn stones in solitary kidney, and has advantages such as short surgical duration, fewer complications, rapid recovery, short hospital stay, effective stone removal rate, and so on.

The human gut is populated by a complex community of microbiota that coexists with the host to maintain homeostasis.Macrogenomic and metabonomics analysis shows that the imbalance in gut microbiota composition and diversity, some bacterial components, metabolites and the signaling pathways mediated by them are involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases, especially in the elderly.Intestinal microorganisms are one of the important factors affecting age-related diseases and can provide insights on treatment strategies for the elderly.This review focuses on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, interaction between the microbiota and the host, features of the gut microbiota in common geriatric diseases and pathogenic mechanisms.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of lymph node dissection (LND) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after surgical resection.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 156 patients who underwent surgery for ICC in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of Naval Military Medical University from November 2010 to December 2017, including 94 males and 62 females, aged (60.0±9.5) years. Curative surgery was performed in 114 cases. Of 64 cases were in stage Ⅰ according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), including 38 cases of non-lymph node dissection (NLND) and 26 cases of LND; 21 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅱ, including 11 cases of NLND and 10 cases of LND; 22 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅲb, including 14 cases of LND and 8 cases of lymph node resection (LNR); 5 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅲa, 2 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅳ. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used for the risk factors of ICC prognosis. The log-rank test compared the survival rates of the two groups.Results:Cox multivariate analysis indicated that lymph node metastasis was independent risk factors for prognosis in patients with ICC ( HR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.09-3.55, P=0.026). A total of 114 patients were included in the curative surgery group. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of the negative lymph node group ( n=91) were 65.9%, 47.3% and 35.6%, respectively, which were significantly better than those of the positive lymph node group ( n=23) who had 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates of 56.5%, 17.7% and 0, respectively (χ 2=8.11, P=0.004 ). In stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients, there were no significant differences in 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates between the NLND group and the LND group (both P>0.05 ). In stage Ⅲb patients, the LND group had 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates of 71.4%, 29.8% and 0, respectively, significantly better than those of the LNR group who had 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates of 37.5%, 0 and 0, respectively (χ 2=6.45, P=0.011). Conclusions:Lymph node metastasis is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of ICC. Lymph node dissection should be performed cautiously in ICC with AJCC stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, while routine lymph node dissection is recommended in ICC with AJCC stage Ⅲb.
