Objective To investigate the treatment of intractable bile duct stones. Methods Of the total 149 cases of biliary stones, some are multiple bile duct stones,large stones,stones obstructed in the duodenal ampulla or residuary stones after T-tube surgery, others are associated with small papilla or papilla with neighoring diverticulum. All the stones were extracted with several endoscopic methods, such as choledochoscopy during or after operation, mechanical lithotripsy after EST(endoscopic sphincterotomy), biliary mother-baby endoscopy, ENBD(endoscopic nasobiliary drainage) or biliary-duodenum internal drainage. Results In general, extrahepatic bile duct stones were effectively removed in 94. 6% cases. In 19 out of 20 cases, stones were completely removed with choledochoscopy during operation; In 35 out of 40 cases stones were fully extracted through T-tube endoscopy, and in 72 of 76 cases stones were thoroughly removed with mechanical lithotripsy after EST. Conclusion The intractable bile duct stones can be effectively managed with combined endoscopic therapy, which is attributed to the high success rate in removing biliary stones and should be popularized in this field.

Objective To report the operative technique and clinical experiences of the modified reversed superficial peroneal neurocutaneous island flaps for reconstruction of the ankle and foot.Methods According to the previous anatomical studies and our clinical experiences,we devised the reversed superficial peroneal neuroeutaneous island flap based on the descending branch of the distal perforator of the peronealrtery and its venae comitantes,and covered the soft defect of the ankle and foot with it.Results Twenty-one of the 23 flaps survived completely without complications,while the other two occurred marginal necrosis.The maximum surface of the flap in our series was 12 cm×13 cm.and the minimum one was 5 cm×4 cm.The length of the pedicle ranged from 5 cm to 10 cm.The texture of the flaps was good,while the cosmetic and function of them were evaluated as acceptable in all cased after 6 to 21 months follow-up.Conclusion The reversod superficial peroneal neurocutaneous island flaps is a versatile,reliable procedure useful in reconstruction of the ankle and foot.

OBJECTIVES: Sleep disorders directly affect health-related quality of life, so it is of great significance to investigate the risk factors of sleep disorders and to actively intervene. This study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns and associated factors and sleep disorders among the health screening populations in Changsha. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 86 073 subjects aged 18-70 years old who underwent the health screening. The association between dietary patterns and sleep disorders was analyzed. The associated factors for sleep disorders were identified via by principal component analysis and classification tree model. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of reporting sleep disorders was 18.64%. Four major dietary patterns (healthy, snacks, whole-grain, and fried food patterns) were identified. In logistic regression, snacks and fried food patterns had higher risk of sleep disorders. The whole-grain pattern was a protective factor for sleep disorders. Nine associated factors including age, susceptibility to anxiety, snacking parterns, feelings of depression, chronic pain, physical activity, educational level, gender, and weight, and 9 groups at high risk for sleep disorders were identified by classification tree model. CONCLUSIONS Sleep disorders are prevalent in the health screening population of Changsha. There is a close association between snacks dietary patterns and sleep disorders. It is necessary to promote healthy and reasonable diet, and keep good lifestyle for the prevention and control of sleep disorders. Health management after physical examination should take different health interventions for high-risk groups with different characteristics of sleep disorders.
