Objective To investigate the effect of breast milk and some other kinds of infant foods on the adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa so as to understand the possible protective mechanism of breast-feeding in the intestine of infants. Methods The adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa were examined by cell culture, bacterial adherence test, light and electron microscopy in the mediums that contain breast milk, cow's milk and formula milk or contain ecal filtrate of the infants fed by breast milk and formula milk respectively. Results Adhesive index for EPEC to Hela cells was significantly lower in the medium containing breast milk than in control and so did in the fecal medium containing breast fed infants than artificial feeding infants. Conclusion Breast milk may inhibit the adhesion of EPEC to infant intestine.

Objective To explore the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) .Methods The clinical data of 26 patients with AAAs were reviewed retrospectively. Results In the 26 cases,dissection and true aneurysms were found in 3 and 21 respectively, 1 AAA ruptured followed by a false aneurysm formation,and 1 involved duodenojajunary curve to form an aorto intestinal fistul. The lesions involved the renal artery in 3, below renal artery in 23; AAA extended to both common iliac arteries in 12, to both common iliac arteries and one or both internal iliac artery in 5,to both or one common and ,lexternal.internal arteries in 2; Emergency operation was done on 3 patients, elective operation on 14, endoluminal treatment in 7 and conservative treatment in 2. Three cases developed mild postoperative complications. Operative mortality was 3.8% ( 1 case ). 22 patients were followed up for 3 month to 4 years, and living well. Conclusions Endolumianal treatment is the first choice for the AAAs patients . However, the traditional operation is still very important and effective for the patient who can not be treated by endoluminal treatment,especially with improvement of the surgical skills.

Objective To explore the significance of the changes of vaginal lactobacilli in normal pregnant women and those with bacterial vaginosis(BV). Methods A total of 309 pregnant women, including 50 pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis, were randomly selected. Lactobacilli isolated from the vaginas of pregnant women were identified by biochemical methods. The distribution of lactobacilli in the vaginas of pregnant women was observed. The ability to produce H 2O 2 and decrease the culture environment PH among four common lactobacilli in the vaginas of pregnant women was also compared. Results The detectable rate of lactobacilli in vaginas of the normal pregnant women was obviously higher than that of women with bacterial vaginosis. The predominant lactobacilli colonizing in the vaginas of the normal pregnant women were L. crispatus and L. acidophilus , most of which could produce H 2O 2. The frequency of H 2O 2 positive isolation in the vaginas of pregnant women was significantly higher than that of BV. Conclusion The study indicates that H 2O 2 positive lactobacilli plays an important role in the protection against vaginal infections in pregnant women.

Objective To explore the surgical management of aortic diseases. Methods The clinical data of 45 cases of aortic diseases were analysed retrospectively. Results There were 37 males and 8 females.The age ranged from 21 85 years with a mean age of 64.7 years, Among these cases, 11 were thoracic aortic dissection, 2 were ruptured descending aortic local dissection and formed an aneurysm;above and below the renal artery abdominal aortic aneurysms( AAAs) were 3 and 23 respectively; complicated with rupture of the AAA in 2, and with aortojejumal fistula in 1;the other 3 cases were traumatic aortal rupture. Among the 45 cases, 18 underwent endoluminal treatment, 25 underwent AAA resection and artificial vessel implantment, and 3 underwent repair of the ruptured aorta. The operative mortality was 6.67% ( 3/45 ). 36 patients were followed up for 2 months to 4 years, all the 36 patients still alive well. Conclusions In the management of appropriate aortic diseases, endoluminal technique is much simple,safe, less trauma, and less complications, it can also short the hospital stay of the patient . However, with improvement of the surgical skills,the surgical operation is still very important and effective, especially for the cases who can not be treated via endovascular technique.
