Objective To investigate the feasibility of tension-free inguinal hernia repair whether use of antibiotics prophylaxis.Methods A total of 204 cases of adult inguinal hernia were selected and they were divided into treatment group(51 cases)and control group(153 cases)under a hospital order by 1 ∶ 3 randomly.The patients in treatment group were treated by first-generation cephalosporin antibiotics once preoperatively,while the patients in control group received no antibiotics treatment.The incidence of early postoperative infection between two groups was compared.Results Among of 204 cases,5 cases developed surgical site infection,1 case from treatment group,infection rate was 2.0％ (1/51),while 4 cases from control group,infection rate was 2.6％(4/153).There was no significant difference in the infection rate between two groups(x2 =0.000,P =1.000).No significant difference was found in the results of complete white blood cell count,neutrophilic granulocyte ratio,hospital stays and hospital expenses between two groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There is no real need to apply regular antibiotics prophylaxis treatment for adult tension-free inguinal hernia repair without high risk factors.

15, the mortality was38.1%(n = 8).There was significantly difference both in mortality (x2 = 4.14 P

Objective To investigate the clinic results of treatment of distal tibiofibular fractures by in- direct reduction and plate fixation through inferior fibula.Methods Between 2002 and 2005,32 cases of distal tibiofibular fractures were treated with indirect reduction and plate fixation through inferior fibula.According to the AO/ASIF classification,there were 17 cases of type A,nine cases of type B,and six cases of type C.Twenty of them also received iliac autograft through a limited median incision at the lower tibia to repair their lateral tibial defects.After operation their ankle joints were fixated at 90?with piaster brace and cast for three months.The bone union,wound and the function of the ankles were observed after surgery.Results All the patients were followed up for an average of 16 months.The average bone union time was 14 weeks.No nonunion,screw loosening,broken plate,or infection of the wounds was found in this series.The excellent and good rate was 84.4% according to Mazur's ankle joint function scoring.Conclusion Indirect reduction and plate fixation through inferior fibula is a satisfactory technique in the treatment of distal tibiofibular fractures.

pros-tate cancer patents with bone metastases. The number of bone lesions, ALP level, Gleason's score, age and distant lymph node metastases are prognostic factors.

We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor (TIC) vs.clopidogrel (CLO) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).In Jun 2016,a literature search was started and all the studies were conducted from 2010 to 2015.We systematically searched the literature through the MEDLINE database,Cochrane library,and EMBASE database.Quality assessments were evaluated with Jadad quality scale.Data were extracted considering the characteristics of efficacy and safety designs.Six RCTs enrolling 26 244 participants and satisfying the inclusion criteria were finally analyzed.There was a significant decrease of all-cause mortality (MD=0.83,95％CI=0.74-0.93,P=0.001) and myocardial infarction (MI) (MD=0.78,95％CI=0.70~.88,P=0.000).There were no significant differences in stroke (MD=1.34,95％CI=0.99-1.79,P=0.06),total bleeding (MD=0.97,95％CI=0.84-1.12,P=0.66),minor or major bleeding (MD=l.06,95％CI=0.94-1.19,P=0.35) in patients undergoing PCI after treatment with TIC vs.CLO.TIC could be more significant in decreasing all-cause mortality and MI than CLO,but there were no significant differences between TIC and CLO in inhibiting stroke,major bleeding,major or minor bleeding in patients undergoing PCI.

Objective To explore the serum level of gentamycin for orally in children with serious illness.Methods The serum level of gentamycin in 41 children who were in serious illness [multiple organ dysfunction(MODS)group with 21 cases and non-MODS group with 20 cases ] were monitored and the patients were treated with select decontamination of the digestive tract(SDD) from October 2004 to April 2005.Dosage:10 mg/(kg?d),orally taken three times(every 8 hours) one day.The blood after taking the drug one hour later in the fourth day was selected and the serum level of getamycin was monitored.Results Thirty-six children of 41 cases serum level of gentamycin were negative and 5 children(4 in MODS group and 1 in non-MODS group) who had alimentary tract hemorrhage were masccline in serum after taking gentamycin one hour later in the forth day.The absorption of gentamycin from enteric after orally was not(rela)-ted to MODS.There were statistics value between the gestrintestinal tract ulcer and serum level of gentamycin.Conclusions The safety for treating the children in serious illness with gentamycin for SDD is obvious.But we suggest to monitor the serum level of gentamycin for who has severe alimentary tract hemorrhage together with insufficiency of liver and kindey.

To study the molecular genetic basis of ABO alleles in para-Bombay type individuals, samples from five para-Bombay type individuals identified by serologic tests including absorption-elution tests, saliva neutralizing or inhibitor substances tests, were genotyped by using PCR-SSP based ABO genotyping. Exon 6 and exon 7 at the ABO locus for all 5 samples were sequenced. The results showed that the ABO genotypes of five para-Bombay samples were A102B1, A102B1, A102O1, A102B1, B1O1 respectively, the direct DNA sequencing results were in accordance with the results genotyped by PCR-SSP method, No novel nucleotide mutation was found at the exon 6 and exon 7 of ABO gene. In conclusion, the ABO genotyping assay by PCR-SSP provide a simple, rapid and accurate method for determining the ABO type of para-Bombay cases.

AIM: To investigate the use of therapy ultrasound to enhance nonviral gene delivery. METHODS: Endothelial cells (EC) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) were cultured in 6-well plates. Plasmid (pcDNA3.1/His/LacZ) with or without microbubbles at the different concentrations was transfected into the cells with the use of ultrasound for 1 min at 2 MHz, 1.8 mechanical index (MI). Additional controls included ultrasound alone, microbubble alone and microbubble plus plasmid. The rate of blue cells and the activities of ?-Gal were measured. In addition, cell viability was detected with different time from 1 to 30 min of ultrasound irradiation and the different concentrations of microbubbles. RESULTS: In the group of ultrasound with microbubble, the rate of blue cells and activity of ?-Gal markedly increased by 60% and 9-fold, respectively. Microbubbles at concentration of 10% led to the highest transfection effect. Ultrasoud exposure at 1 to 30 minute had no cell toxic effects, while microbubbles at the concentration of 50% had significant effect on cell survival. CONCLUSIONS: Albumin-coated microbubbles markedly enhance gene delivery by therapeutic ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction, which can be used as a safe and practicality vectors in gene therapy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the tongue manifestation features of sexually transmitted and intravenous drug use spread HIV infected population in Xinjiang.

METHODSRecruited were 990 HIV infected subjects in Xinjiang from May 2011 to March 2012, who were assigned to the intravenous drug use spread HIV infected (498 cases) and the sexually transmitted (492 cases). By using tongue figure shoot combined with analyses of experts, tongue manifestations were analyzed and compared between the sexually transmitted and the intravenous drug use spread from four aspects, i.e., the tongue color, the tongue shape, the fur color, and the fur property.

RESULTSCompared with the sexually transmitted population, red tongue, fissured tongue, yellow fur, thick fur, eroded fur, deficiency of fur fluid were more often seen, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05). Compared with the intravenous drug use spread population, pale tongue, white fur, and thin fur were more often seen, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe tongue manifestations of the intravenous drug use spread HIV population reflected inner exuberance of evil toxin and heat impairing qi and yin. Compared with the intravenous drug use spread population, the attack of HIV infection was more hiding in the sexually transmitted population, with milder internal injury. Their Wei-qi was not damaged and no obvious change occurred in the tongue figure.
