Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical or acute abdomen in childhood.Rapid and correct diagnosis is the premise of rational therapy,but there are still some problems in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Sufficient comprehension about clinical features and differential diagnostic diseases,typical clinical symptoms,physical examination,laboratory examinations,ultrasonography or CT would make a definite diagnosis.Laparoscopy is also used to make a diagnosis if necessary.

Objective To evaluate the analytical variables of the reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with 5-Fluorouracil(5-Fu) as an internal standard for determining creatinine in human serum and urine. The method was used as a candidate reference method for accuracy assessment of routine creatinine test kits.Methods We tested the accuracy, precision, linearity of the reversed-phase HPLC.We analyzed split samples of a panel of 85 patients’ serum and 94 patients’ urine and compared the results of the routine test kits and HPLC by means of bias plots (percentage differences of results) and standard linear regression.Results The linear range of HPLC method was up to 2 210 ?mol/L, the within-run CV(n=5) was below 2.5% and the between-day CV(n=10) was less than 4.5%. The analytical recovery rate was 96.3%～102.4%. All of the test kits correlated very well with HPLC.Conclusions We recommend the reversed-phase HPLC with 5-Fu as an internal standard as a candidate reference method for determining creatinine in human serum and urine.The enzymatic method with creatininase coupled sarcosine oxidase is suitable for routine work in clinical laboratories.

Objective To investigate the effects of early core muscles and manual respiratory function training on stroke patients with dysphagia. Methods From June, 2015 to January, 2016, 60 stroke patients with dysphagia were divided equally into control group and obser-vation group randomly. Both groups accepted routine swallowing function training, electrical stimulation and respiratory function training, while the observation group accepted core muscles training and manual respiratory function training, for four weeks. They were evaluated with Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA), forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum ventilatory volume (MVV) and the maximum ex-piratory time before and after treatment. Results All the indices improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Core muscles and manual respiratory function training at early stage can obviously improve swallowing and respiratory function of stroke patients with dysphagia.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of massotherapy in conjuction with domperidone on motilin and gastric emptying time of patients with diabetic gastroparesis(DGP). Methods One hundred cases of DGP were randomly and equally divided into a control group ( n =50) and a therapy group ( n =50). The control group was treated with domperidone. The therapy group was treated with massotherapy in addition to domperidone. Both groups were observed for 6 weeks. Results The total effective rate in the therapy group and control group was 92%and 78%, respectively ( P

Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) pathway in polycystic kidney cyst-lining epithelial cells. Methods The cyst-lining epithelial cells (PKD cells) from human polycystic kidney were treated with rosiglitazone (10 μmol/L), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) inhibitor GW9662 (10 μmol/L), rosiglitazone (10 μmol/L) +GW9662 (10 μmol/L), p38MAPK specific inhibitor SB203580 (10 μmol/L), SB203580 (10 μmol/L)+ rosiglitazone(10 μmol/L) for 2 hours followed by epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation. Protein expressions of p38, phuspho-p38 (p-p38) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were detected by Western blot. p38 mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Expression of c-fos and c-jun was observed by immunocytochemistry. Results (1) EGF markedly up-regulated the expressions of p38, p-p38, PCNA, c-fos anti c-jun compared with control group (P<0.01). (2) Compared with EGF treated group, rosiglitazone significantly reduced p38 activation and mRNA expression (P<0.01, respectively). Rosiglitazone, rosiglitazone+SB203580 could significantly down-regulated p-p38, PCNA, c-fos and c-jun expression (P<0.01, respectively) with no significant difference between these two groups. (3) GW9662 partially reversed the reduction effect of rosiglitazone. Conclusions Rosiglitazone can inhibit proliferation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cyst-lining epithelial cells partially through down-regulating p38 activation and reducing c-fos, c-jun and PCNA expression. The above effect of rosiglitazone is in part PPARγ-independcnt.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection on neurological function and prognosis of elderly patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)after trepanation and drainage surgery. METH-ODS:During Jan. 2015 to Jun. 2016,80 elderly HICH patients were selected from our hospital and then divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Both group received trepanation and drain-age surgery. Control group was given routine treatment. Observation group was given Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection 100 mL,ivgtt,bid,on the fifth day after surgery,on the basis of control group. Both groups received treatment for 14 d. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed. CSS scores were compared between 2 groups before surgery and 28 d after operation;volume of encephaledema,serum levels of homocysteine(HCY)and substance P(SP)were compared between 2 groups before surgery and 14 d after operation. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was 87.5％,which was significantly higher than 67.5％ of control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before surgery, there was no statistical significance in CSS scores,volume of encephaledema or serum levels of HCY and SP between 2 groups(P>0.05). CSS scores 28 d after operation, SP levels 14 d after operation were significanthy increased,volume of encephaledema and serum levels of HCY in 2 groups were significantly decreased,and the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection can significantly improve clinical efficacy and hepatic func-tion damage,relieve postoperative encephaledema,reduce serum levels of HCY and increase SP levels in elderly HICH patients af-ter trepanation and drainage surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the curative effect and safety of dexamethasone for severe asthma and severe sepsis systematically. METHODS:Randomized controlled trials about dexamethasone for severe asthma and severe sepsis were retrieved from database,such as Cochrane library(1996～2007),PubMed(1966～2007),EMCC(1995～2007),CHKD(1994～2007)and pertinent literatures. The qualities of included studies were evaluated and extracted data were analyzed by Meta-analysis respectively. RESULTS:11 trials containing 1 435 cases were up to included standard. Therapy results of severe asthma:(1)in remission rate of the total symptom,difference between dexamethasone and prednisone was not statistically significant [OR 1.44,95%CI(0.75, 2.75);P=0.27];(2)In the incidence rate of ADR,dexamethasone was lower than prednisone [OR 0.13,95%CI(0.04,0.44);P= 0.001];(3)In the recurrence rate,no statistical significance was noted in difference between dexamethasone and prednisone [OR 0.58,95%CI(0.25,1.31);P=0.19]. Therapy results of severe sepsis:(1)In the mortality,difference between dexamethasone and placebo was not statistically significant [OR 0.85,95%CI(0.41,1.78);P=0.67];(2)In the incidence rate of ADR,no statistical significance was noted in difference between hydrocortisone and placebo [OR 1.05,95%CI(0.51,2.19);P=0.89]. CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone is similar to prednisone in the treatment of severe asthma but better than prednisone in drug safety. The safety of dexamethasone is similar to placebo in the treatment of severe sepsis.
