Objective To explore diagnosisand treatment of intestinal obstruction by foodballs in children. Methods The clinical datum of 21 cases of intestinal obstruction by foodballs in children were retrospectively ana- lyzed.Results While admission,only 2 cases could provide the history of having eaten foodballs wholly which could not be digested easily.The characteristics of clinical manifestation were intestinal obstruction completely or incom- pletely.All 21 cases had been treated conservatively first,only one case was successful and the other 20 cases had been cured by surgery afterwords.Conclusion There is no specific feature in clinical manifestations of intestinal ob- struction by foodballs in children,so it is difficult to make the diagnosis,but it must be considered suspicious especial- ly for those from rural area and with simple intestinal obstruction with reasons not known yet.If conservative therapy is failure in a short period,an operation should be done immediately.During operation,it is necessary to examine the whole digestive system thoroughly.

Objective To compare the influence of different doses of dexmedetomidine on the haemodynamic response caused by tracheal intubation during general anesthesia induction in senile hypertension patients .Methods Sixty patients with essential hy‐pertension(EH) undergoing general anesthesia operation ,60-75 years old ,ASAⅠorⅡ ,were randomly divided into the group D1 , D2 and control group(C) ,20 cases in each group .4μg /mL dexmedetomidine in the group D1 and D2 was intravenously pumped at 15 min before anesthesia induction with the doses of 0 .2 ,0 .6 μg/kg respectively and completed within 10 min;while the group C was pumped with sodium chloride injection by the same method .Mean artery pressure (MAP) ,heart rate (HR) and O2 saturation (SpO2 ) were monitored at before medication(T0) ,before induction(T1) ,before intubation(T2) ,at 1 min(T3) ,5 min(T4) after tra‐cheal intubation .Meanwhile plasma norepinephrine(NE) and epinephrine(E) values were detected .Results Compared with before medication ,MAP before induction in the group D2 was significantly decreased (P<0 .05) ,however which in the group D1 and C had no obvious change(P>0.05);HR at 1 min after tracheal intubation in the group D2 was significantly decreased (P<0.05) , while which in the group C and D1 was significantly increased(P<0 .05) .Compared with the group C ,MAP and HR before induc‐tion and tracheal intubation ,at 1 ,5 min after tracheal intubation in the group D2 were significantly decreased(P<0.05) ,SpO2 was significantly decreased only before induction (P<0.01);MAP ,HR and SpO2 at each time points in the group D1 had no significant differences compared with the group C(P>0.05) .Compared with T0 ,the plasma levels of NE and E at T1 in the group D2 were decreased (P<0.01);the plasma levels of NE and E at T3 in the group C and D1 were increased ,while which in the group D2 were decreased (P<0.01) .The plasma levels of NE and E at T1 and T3 in the group D2 were decreased compared with the group C(P<0.01) .Conclusion Intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine can safely inhibit the tracheal intubation caused hemodynamic changes and keep the hemodynamic stabilization during general anaesthesia induction and tracheal intubation period in senile hyper‐tension patients .Furthermore dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/kg can more effectively inhibit the tracheal intubation caused stress reac‐tions than dexmedetomidine 0.2μg/kg .

Objective To discuss the technique and clinical value of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) without using Endo-GIA combined with pericardial devascularization for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension. Methods From March 2005 to October 2006, 23 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension-induced lower esophageal varices were treated with LS combined with pericardial devascularization. In 18 of the cases, the spleen was resected by disconnection of the secondary splenic pedicle without using endo-GIA. During the operation, the splenic vessels were separated and disconnected by using absorbable clip or ligation respectively. And then the lesser omentum was cut using ultrasonic knife, and the pericardial varices devascularization was performed using the absorbable clips or ultrasonic knife. Finally, the spleen was placed into a bag, broken into small pieces, and removed from an enlarged trocar hole. Results The operation was completed successfully in the 18 cases. The mean operation time was 255 min (range,180-320 min). The mean intraoperative blood loss was 450 ml (range, 200-1600 ml). After the operation, 2 patients developed plural effusion, 1 had subphrenic abscess, and 2 had mild ascites. The subphrenic abscess was cure by ultrasonography-guided puncture. The mean hospitalization was 7.5 days (range 6 to 17 days). No mortality occurred. All the patients were followed up for an averge of 16.4 months (range 5 to 24 months). No patient died after the operation. The mean hospital stay was 7.5 days (6-17 days). The cases were followed up for 5-24 months (mean, 16.4 months). One patient developed rebleeding 20 months after the operation, and was cured by injecting sclerosing agent under a gastroscope. The other 17 cases had no hemorrhage after the operation.Conclusions It is a low-cost and superior method to disconnect the secondary splenic pedicle without using endo-GIA in LS combined with pericardial devascularization for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension.

Objective To investigate the effect of acute hypervolemic hemodilution(AHHD)on the onset and recovery of muscle relaxation induced by vecuronium.Methods Thirty-two ASA Ⅰ orⅡpatients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=16 each):control group and AHHD group.A loading dose of vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg Was given at 10 min after AHHD following tracheal intubatiom The muscular relaxation was maintained at Tl/Tc 5% to 15% by supplement with intravenous vecuroninm.Blood samples were taken at various times during AHHD for chemical analysis.The onset and recovery time of muscular relaxation were recorded.Results Compared with control group ,Hct,Hb and the concentration of TP and Alb were decreased,and the onset and recovery time of vecuronium were shortened in group AHHD(P＜0.05).Conclusion Acute hypervolemic hemodihtion can shorten the onset and recovery of muscle relaxation of vecuronium in patients under general anethesia.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects and safety of Sophoraflavescens preparation combined with Fuzheng huayu capsule on hepatic hemodynamics and fibrosis indexes in patients with hepatitis B liver cirrhosis.METHODS:One hundred and two patients diagnosed as hepatitis B liver cirrhosis in our hospital during Feb.2013-Jun.2014 were divided into combination group and control group according to random number table,with 51 cases in each group.Control group was treated with Adefovir dipivoxil capsules 10 mg,po,qd;combination group was additionally given Fuzheng huayu capsules 1.5 g,po,tid+Sophora flavescens preparation (Matrine glucose injection 250 mL,ivgtt,qd,in the first 3 months,oxymatrine capsules 200 mg,po,tid,after 3 months) on the basis of control group.Both groups were treated for 12 months.The levels of HBV-DNA,liver function indexes (AST,ALT,TBIL),portal hemodynamic indexes [main portal vein inner diameter (D),mean blood flow velocity (Ⅴ)] and liver fibrosis indexes [laminin protein (LN),hyaluronic acid (HA),type Ⅳ collagen (Ⅳ-C)] were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment.The negative conversion rate of HBV-DNA and incidence of ADR were recorded.RESULTS:Three cases lost to follow up,and a total of 48 effective cases were included in control group;5 cases lost to follow up,and a total of 46 effective cases were included in combination group.Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in HBV-DNA levels,liver function indexes (AST,ALT,TBIL),liver fibrosis indexes (LN,HA,Ⅳ-C) and portal vein hemodynamic indexes (D,V) between 2 groups (P＞0.05).After treatment,above indexes of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the combination group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).The negative conversion rate of HBV-DNA in combination group was 93.5％,which was significantly higher than 79.2％ of control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P＞0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Sophora flavescens preparation combined with Fuzheng huayu capsules can promote the recovery of liver function,regulate liver hemodynamics and alleviate hepatic fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B liver cirrhosis with good safety.
