Objective To explore the application of laparoscopy in non-traumatic acute abdominal emergency. Methods The authors retrospectively analyzed 201 cases of emergency laparoscopy between March 1999 and May 2002. Results All the 201 patients were unequivocally diagnosed during operation. Laparoscopic operations were successfully completed in 190 cases (139 cases of acute appendicitis, 21 cases of acute cholecystitis, 19 cases of upper gastrointestinal tract perforation, 10 cases of intestinal obstruction and 1 case of common bile duct stones accompanied with acute cholecystitis), with a success rate of 94.5% (190/201). The remaining 11 patients underwent a conversion to open surgery. Conclusions Emergency laparoscopic exploration can not only clarify a diagnosis for acute abdominal emergency with unknown causes but also simultaneously offer a therapeutic method in at least 90% of cases.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of heart failure among patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD).Method Clinical data were collected from the histories of 158 patients receiving CAPD to investigate the factors inducing heart failure for the purpose of finding out the potential independent influencing factors using t test or chi-square test for univariate analyses and logistic regression in multivariate analyses.Results The incidence of heart failure was 36.71%among the enrolled CAPD patients.Single factor analysis showed that level of volume management,age,hemoglobin,serum pre-albumin, cholesterol and c-reactive protein were related to heart failure.Analysis of multiple variables logistic regression revealed that levels of volume management,serum pre-albumin and blood urea nitrogen were related to heart failure.Conclusions It is an easy,effective and cheaper way for nurses to increase patients’ability of volume control.The strategy including remedying malnutrition and decreasing the level of uremic toxins might be effective for delayed exacerbation of cardiac function among CAPD patients.

Objective To analyze the effect of calcitonin combined with alfacalcidol on clinical outcome,lumbar vertebrae bone mineral density and safety in patients undergoing internal fixation of humeral shaft fracture.Methods 80 patients with humeral shaft fracture treated with internal fixation in Xunwu county people's hospital from June 2010 to June 2016 were selected,and randomly divided into control group and observation group,40 cases in each groups.The control group was given calcium carbonate D3 tablets and functional exercise therapy,the observation group treated calcitonin combined with alfacalcidol on the basis of control group,analysis and comparison the clinical effects,lumbar spine BMD and safety.Results Compared with before treatment,serum calcium level of two groups increased significantly at treatment 2 weeks and 3 weeks(P<0.05);The control group BMD of lumbar spine was significantly increased in treatment 12 weeks(P<0.05),the observation group BMD of lumbar spine was significantly increased in treatment 4 weeks and 12 weeks(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the level of serum calcium in observation group was higher at treatment 2 weeks and 3 weeks (P<0.05),BMD of lumbar spine was higher at treatment 4 weeks and 12 weeks(P<0.05);The total adverse reaction rate of observation group was 10%,the difference was not statistically significant to control group 15%.Conclusion The combination of calcitonin and alfacalcidol treatment of internal fixation of humeral shaft fractures in patients with significant results, can improve serum calcium levels in patients with and improve bone mineral density, and less adverse reactions.

In recent years,with the continuous development of endoscopic and interventional techniques,many new devices and methods have been used in clinical practice,and the application of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)in biliary and pancreatic diseases has developed rapidly.This paper reviews and summarizes the recent progress in ERCP among patients with biliary and pancreatic diseases,including those with altered gastrointestinal anatomy,pregnant patients,patients with benign and malignant biliary strictures,and patients with pancreatic pseudocysts,as well as the application of SpyGlass,photodynamic therapy,and radiofrequency ablation,the man-agement of ERCP-related duodenal perforation,and the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.All the progress has made a great contribu-tion to the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases.

Based on the extensive experience in circuit serving for military medical equipment,problems in managing military medical equipment are discussed and solutions are proposed so as to strengthen management standardization of medical equipment in basic unit army and enhance the support ability of medical equipment.

Qi in TCM is the most essential substance that makes up the body and maintains life activities. All vital substances in the body are transformed by constant motion and changes of qi. Qi in TCM mainly means full of functions. What is the basic material attribute of qi? We don't have a systematic study on it. Therefore, we combined the achievement of modern medicine, and explored further from the origin, functions, pathogeneses, and therapies of mitochondria and qi. Surprisingly, we found out that the origin of mitochondria was similar to that of qi. They are tiny substance constituting the human body. Secondly, the function of mitochondria is similar to that of qi. When the disorder of qi and mitochondria occurs, similar vital signs occur or the same reactions occur. These results suggested that the basic material attribute of qi might be mitochondria.

As the actual clinical reflecting of transform Chinese medicine special curative effect, Chinese medicine preparation not only satisfies the need of hospital clinic, scientific research and teaching, but also plays an important role in deepening medical and health system reform, improving people's health level and contributing to the economic growth. However, some problems about administration and approval (tending to western medicine), contraction of the scale, lack of synchronization for clinic and scientific research, and the imbalance of regional development make Chinese medicine preparation move forwards slowly in contradiction. It has not only reduced the effectiveness of the Chinese medicine preparation in hospital clinic, but also brought bad effect on modernized development of Chinese medicine preparation. Research shows that main influencing factors of status quo of Chinese medicine preparation in medical institution include imperfect laws and regulations, high cost than income, and shortage of talents in preparation research. The analysis indicated that the necessary measures to break the contradiction, improve clinical effect of Chinese medicine, and promote the modernization development of Chinese drugs preparation were as follows: government and related departments should strengthen the supporting force in policy by adjusting the examination and approval policy, speeding up dispensing use, reforming pricing system, including into medicare reimbursement, integrating advantage resources and so on; medical institution should actively carry out research and development of traditional Chinese Medicine through drawing the traditional and modern essence, reserving professional talents, and developing characteristic preparation; companies cooperate with hospitals for complementary advantages, which can rapidly transform Chinese medicine preparation into clinical practice.
