False and negative information has brought forth serious impacts on doctor-patient relationship in the new media era as a result of “Broken window effect”and “Butterfly effect”.The underlying reasons are herd mentality,the public’s need to vent their discontent,the subjectivity of information distribution on the Internet and lack of proper supervision and punishment mechanism.Medical Institutions should pay special attention to the new media,leveraging it to improve doctor-patient relationship by making official voice,guiding public opinion,solving problems,and providing comfortable social environment and rational public opinion environment on the Internet.

Objective To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different puncture positions in percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Methods Three hundred fifty-six patients who underwent PCNL were analyzed from March 2012 to October 2015. The passage caliber was 16F-20F. There were 217 cases in prone position and 139 cases in supine position. Results The successful operation in PCNL was 354 cases , while the remaining 2 cases were performed by open surgery. The primary stone clearance rate was 75.5%. The additional PCNLs were performed in 23 cases, and 63 cases of residual calculi were treated by ESWL. 11 patients were treated due to infection or bleeding by the additional PCNLs. There were 3 cases with massive hemorrhage which were treated by Interventional embolization therapy , 12 cases in postoperative fever , no renal resection , no intestinal injury, no deaths. There was no significant difference in stone clearance rate and complication rate between the two groups. Conclusion The puncture position of PCNL can be optional based on the stone size , stone location, degree of hydronephrosis ,and patient′s cardiopulmonary condition individually.

Integrating physiological parameters measurement into mobile devices is a development tendency of mobile healthcare. Measurement methods for skin moisture and body fat content are studied in this paper. Electrodes are designed for easy integration into mobile devices, and can be embedded in the cover of the mobile phone. Experiments were conducted to obtain a fast and easy measurement method. The results of evaluation show that the measurement system can achieve the same accuracy as commercial products (with correlation above 0.9 and root mean squared error below 4%) in skin moisture and body fat content measurement. Measurement of local-area body fat content showed a nearly linear positive correlation between local-area body fat content and local-area body impedance.

Objective To investigate the relationship between white matter lesions (WML) within the cholinergic pathway and vascular cognitive impairment.Method Middle-aged and elderly stroke patients underwent brain MRI examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).Cholinergic Pathways Hyperintensities Scale (CHIPS) scores and the overall WML burden by Schelten on fluidattenuated inversion recovery MRI images were determined and compared with MoCA scores.Spearman partial rank correlation coefficients and standardized regression coefficients were calculated.Results Thirty four patients were included ( mean age ( 62.2 ± 8.8 ) years, 45-82 years).MoCA scores negatively correlated with WML burdens by Schelten scores ( β = - 0.357, P = 0.042) and CHIPS scores ( β =-0.382,P=0.026).CHIPS scores were negatively associated with visuospatial and executive function (r = - 0.290, P = 0.048 ), naming function ( r = - 0.486, P = 0.002 ), attention ( r = - 0.311, P =0.037) and abstraction ( r = - 0.344, P = 0.023).Schelten scores were negatively associated with naming function (r = - 0.492, P = 0.002), attention ( r = - 0.364, P = 0.017) and abstraction ( r = - 0.390,P=0.011).Conclusion WML lesions within the cholinergic pathyway play a possible role in vascular cognitive impairment especially in visuospatial and executive function.

Objective:To obtain a large amount of erythromycin B and to investigate the activity site in eryK. Methods:The key sequence of the BC loop region in eryK gene was knocked out and the eryK gene with 101 bp deleted was amplified by overlapping PCR,and cloned into vector pWHM3 to construct recombinant plasmid. The Saccharopolyspora erythraea mutant AK17 was constructed through chromosomal homologous recombination technique.Results and Conclusions:The S.erythraea mutant AK17 was constructed. The results of TCL and MS analysis showed that the major fermentation product of AK17 is erythromycin B.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the various methods of choledochoplasty in the repair of major bile duct defects in Mirizzi syndrome.MethodsThis is a retrospective study on 3 patient with Mirizzi syndrome with a large bile duct defect.These defects were repaired by using a vascular gastric pedicle patch in our department from July 2008 to November 2011.The authors searched the domestic medical literature on surgical repair for Mirizzi syndrome in the past ten years.The patients were treated by various surgical methods,and they were analyzed according to the Csendes Classification.ResultsThere were no surgical complications in our three patients.There was one patient with a Csendes type Ⅲ,while the remaining 2 patients were with Csendes type Ⅳ.At a median follow- up of 2.5 years,no patient developed signs of chronic cholangitis.In the medical literature,there were 93 patients who were with Csendes type Ⅰ ; and 58 patients were treated by cholecystectomy only,while 35 patients were treated by partial cholecystectomy plus mucosal ablation.Of the 40 patients with type Ⅱ,29 patients were treated by direct fistula repair,9 patients by pedicle gallbladder flap and 2 patients by pedicle round ligament.Of the 20 patients with type Ⅲ,9 patients were treated by pedicle gallbladder flap.1 patient by pedicle round ligament,3 patients by pedicle gastric flap and 7 patients by Rouxen- Y hepaticojejunostomy.For the 5 patients with type Ⅳ,they were treated by Roux-en- Y hepaticojejunostomy.Of these 159 patients,postoperative complications included biliary fistula (n=1 ),upper gastrointestinal bleeding (n=1),and biliary stricture (n=1).All the remaining patients were cured.ConclusionIn patients with Mirizzi Syndrome,the choice of treatment depends on the size of the fistula.For patient with a major tissue defect in the common hepatic duct,a pedicle vascular gastric flap is a good treatment.

Objective To detect the prevalence of hyperuricemia and its relationship to chronic kidney disease(CKD) in the residents of Guangxi, and to discuss the risk factors for the hyperuricemia associated renal damage. Methods The residents aged 18-75 years old(n=6 273) in Xiangshan community,Guilin, were screened by means of cross-sectional study. Blood pressure was measured at 8:00-9:00.Fasting blood and urine samples were collected to determine blood glucose, lipid, insulin, creatinine, and urine albumin. Results The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the community residents was 23.5% in all cohort, being significantly higher in male residents than in female(28.4% vs 19.7%,P<0.01). The prevalence of CKD was 21.6% in all cohort, and was 24.9% in males and 19.0% in females(P<0.01). The prevalence of CKD was 30.4% and 18.9% respectively in residents with and without hyperuricemia(P<0.01).The prevalence of CKD in males with hyperuricemia(34.3%) was significantly higher than in males without hyperuricemia(21.2%) and females with hyperuricemia(25.9%, all P<0.01). CKD was only positively related to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood glucose, and systolic blood pressure shown by logistic regression analysis. Conclusions The prevalence of hyperuricemia markedly increases in the urban residents, which contribute to the raised prevalence of CKD. Slightly elevated blood uric acid level is associated with raised prevalence of CKD.

Fluid therapy has been the focus of attention and dispute. In this paper, there are three aspects including postoperative bowel function, surgical prognosis, and acute diffuse peritonitis. Colloidal supplement and appropriate crystal/colloid ratio should be noted in low perfusion conditions. The different types of fluid in recent studies did not show a significant difference in the long term. The new evidence will be noted in fluid therapy among 2012 SSC Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Guideline update (unpublished).
