Based on thermodynamic principle, the critical relative humidity of electrolytes is closely related to their solubility. The authors explored the relationship theoretically and calculated critical relative humidity of 21 electrolytes from their solubility in the light of Raoult's law and extended Wilson model. The results indicate that the critical relative humidity values calculated by Raoult's law can not accord with the reported ones and there is a systematic error in the high concentration range; while these calculated by extended Wilson model are comparable to the reported ones.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the department teaching management by using attending physician responsibility system. Methods Eight teachers were scored using the teaching management quantitative scoring standard before and after the implementation ofattending physician responsibility system. Score data of 12 months before the implementation ofattending physician respon-sibility system was defined as the control group, while the score data of 12 months after the implemen-tation ofattending physician responsibility system was defined as the study group. Groups were compared by using the paired t-test and P<0.05 means the difference has statistics significance. Results Com-pared with the control group , there was significant statistical difference between the two groups in teaching lectures, teaching rounds, case discussions, medical recordsquality, departmental rotation examination and the total score ( P<0 . 05 ) . No statistical difference was observed between the two groups on teaching score(P>0.05). Compared with the control group, there was significant statistical difference between the two groups in the senior grade and intermediate grade (P<0.05). Conclusion The attending physician responsibility systemfor teaching management is an effective way to improve the teaching management level.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical application of retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
METHODS:
Of the 85 pediatric patients with UPJO, 56 were boys and 29 were girls. The age of the patients ranged from 2.5 to 11 years (mean = 4.6 years).B-ultrasonography showed hydronephrosis <15 mm (mild) in 15 patients,15-30 mm (moderate) in 59, <30 mm (severe) in the other 6. Intravenous urography (IVU) showed good imaging in 55 patients within 30 min, light imaging in 27 at 30-120 min, and no imaging in 3 after 120 min. The 85 patients underwent retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty. Conventional antegrade or modified antegrade double-J stenting was inserted in the 85 patients intraoperatively.
RESULTS:
The operation was successful in all, with no conversion to open surgery during the operation. The mean operation time was 146 min (125-240 min).The mean blood loss was 68 mL (55-112 mL).The mean postoperative hospitalization was 7 d (6-8 d ).Urine leakage occurred in 1 patient and with a good drainage, urine leakage disappeared in 1 week. Follow-up ranged 3-24 months (mean = 11 months).IVU showed on UPJ stricture, and good imaging in 75 patients within 30 min, light imaging in 10 at 30-120 min. Hydronephrosis was remitted:hydronephrosis resolution in 51 patients, mild in 6 and moderate in 3.
CONCLUSION
Retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty is a safe, effective and mini-invasive procedure for pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction, with a rapid postoperative recovery. It will be the ideal treatment for UPJO in pediatric patients.
