The relationship between hyperlactatemia and metabolic acidosis, which may involve shock resuscitation,homoiostasis, and nutritional support, remains a hot topic. On one hand, increased production of lac-tate due to anaerobic glycolysis during tissue hypoperfusion can aggravate metabolic acidosis; on the other hand,the utilization of lactate at organ and cell levels may lower blood lactate level, and thus alleviate metabolic acidosis.The ultimate blood lactate level depends on the balance of these two action mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effects of 768 coblation treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. METHOD: A review of 768 coblation treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome was presented with respect to the sleep monitoring results, therapeutic effects and complications. RESULT: The time of pseudomembrane ablate was 10-14 d after operation. There were 11 patients occurred Secondarily bleeding within 1 week and 21 patients lymphatic tissue hyperplasia compensatorily within half a year after operation. After operation 3 months, the sleep Monitoring results were improved remarkably (P < 0.01) and the symptoms of snore and choke improved. CONCLUSION Coblation treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome can reduce bleeding volume and improve obstruct syndrome apparently. The treatments of tonsils and adenoids differ with the characteristics of children and tympanotomy was fit for chil dren with secretory otitis media.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of nasal septal suture in septoplasty. METHOD: Sixty patients who had undergone septoplasty were allocated into two groups: packing group and suturing group. Post-operative signs and symptoms (visual analogue scale) were compared between the two groups. RESULT: The patients of packing group experienced significantly more postoperative pain, epiphora, tinnitus, ear fullness, sleep disturbance and nasal congestion(P<0. 05). No statistically significant difference between two groups in hemorrhage (P>0. 05). CONCLUSION Nasal septum continuous suture is a feasible method to replace nasal packing after septoplasty.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic outcome and its influencing factors after laparoscopic conservative surgery in treatment of tubal pregnancy. Methods From January 2003 to December 2008, 226 cases with tubal pregnancy were treated by laparoscopic conservative surgery. The tubal pateacy was evaluated in 152 cases given by hysterosalpingography (HSG) and 6 cases given by second laparoscopic exploration at 3-6 months after surgery. In their first laparoscopic surgeries, 209 got successful treatment and 19 underwent fail treatment. At 3-6 months after surgery, 89 cases with tubal patency among 207 cases with successful treatment were enrolled in group A. Nineteen cases who were failed in their first laparoscopic conservative surgery and treated by salpingectomy and 63 cases with tubal obstruction were enrolled in group B. The rate of tubal patency was calculated on patients with characteristics of gestational sac less or more than 5 era, the level serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) less than 2000 IU/L,2000 IU/L to 5000 IU/L, and more than 5000 IU/L Results There was no significant difference in age,parity, amenorrhea, location of tubal pregnancy, rupture, pelvic adhesion between group A and group B.Two hundred and seven cases (91.6%, 207/226) were successfully treated at initial laparescopy. One hundred and fifty-two cases got follow up and 55 cases lost follow up at 3 to 6 months after surgery. There was statistical difference in preoperative hCG value which median were 980 (55-12 000) IU/L in group A,3150 (570-40 000) IU/L in group B(P<0.01); the diameter of tubal gestational sac were (3.4±1.3)cm in group A and (5.0±1.7) cm in group B(P<0.01); respectively, the volume of peritoneal bleeding were 200 (0-1500) ml and 300 (0-1600) ml, the rate of live tubal embryo was 2% (2/89) in group A and 11% (9/82) in group B, which all reached statistical difference (P<0. 05). Among 171 cases in both group A and 8, the rate of tubal patency were 65% (67/103) in 103 cases with maximal diameter of tubal gestational sac less than 5 cm and 32% (22/68) in 68 cases with maximal diameter of tubal gestational sac more than 5 cm, which reached statistical difference (P < 0.01). The rate were 72% (73/102) in patients with serum level of hCG less than 2000 IU/L, 29% (12/42)in patients with 2000 IU/L to 5000 IU/L and 15% (4/27)in patients with more than 5000 IU/L, which also showed statistical difference (P <0.05). It was observed that preoperative serum hCG level (OR=0.277, P<0.01), the maximal diameter of gestational sac (OR=0.577, P<0.01) and the volume of peritoneal bleeding (OR=0.999, P < 0.05) were significant factors influencing successful laparoscopy treatment by logistical regression analysis.Conclusion In order to preserve fertility, laparoscopic conservative surgery was a safe and feasible approach in treatment of tubal pregnancy. Preoperative serum hCG levels, size of tube gestational sac were significant factors influencing successful laparoscopic surgery.

40 cases of parotidectomy were reviewed.Anterograde approach(group A)and retrograde approach(group B)for facial nerve dissection were used in 1 7 and 23 cases respectively.1 patients in group A and 8 in group B presented symptoms of temporary facial nerve paralysis(P <0.05).The anterograde method is safer and quicker.

Teaching method of grouping and numbering the experimental animals refers to management of laboratory animals by marking them with numbers. In an experimental group, the same marked experimental animal is performed surgery operation by each group member. As a whole, each group member gets the same score according to the evaluation of operation performance of that group and the score is recorded as usual performance score. This method is simple and easy to implement. It is the optimizing of traditional basic operative surgery teaching methods which is conducted not only to improve medical students' sense of responsibility and animal protection awareness, to make full use of teaching resources and reduce waste, to cultivate medical students' team cooperation awareness, but also to deepen medical students' knowledge about surgical complications and improve the quality of teaching.

Objective To investigate effect and mechanism of Xuebijing administration at various concentrations on ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of rabbit limbs.Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were divided into control group (n =10),Xuebijing group Ⅰ (n =10) and Xuebijing group Ⅱ(n =10) according to random number table.Rabbit models of IRI in lower extremities were established.Each group received corresponding therapy after reperfusion:rabbits in Xuebijing group Ⅰ were firstly administered 4 ml/kg Xuebijing solution and 6 ml/kg isotonic saline; rabbits in Xuebijing group Ⅱ were administered 2 ml/kg Xuebijing solution and 8 ml/kg isotonic saline; rabbits in control group were simply administered 10 ml/kg isotonic saline.Venous blood samples were collected before reperfusion and at 1 h,2 h,4 h after reperfusion to measure coagulation parameters (APTT,Fib,INR and PT) and biochemical items (ALB,LDH and CK).Results APTT in Xuebijing group Ⅰ presented obvious improvement at 1 h and 4 h after reperfusion as compared with control group (P ＜ 0.01).PT in Xuebijing groups Ⅰ and lⅡ was significantly longer after reperfusion than that before reperfusion (P ＜0.05).Fib level in Xuebijing group Ⅰ was much higher at 4 h after reperfusion than that before reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).ALB level at 1 hour after reperfusion showed no statistical differences from that before reperfusion in Xuebijing groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P ＞ 0.05).LDH and CK levels in Xuebijing group Ⅰ were much lower than those in control group after reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Xuebijing injection relieves limb IRI,with better effect in Xuebijing group Ⅰ than in Xuebijing group Ⅱ.Therapeutic mechanism may be associated with its involvement in adjusting clotting function and mitigating injury of muscle tissues.
