Objective To evaluate modified Soave procedure for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease for the neonate and infant. Methods Seventeen cases of short and sigmoid types of Hirschsprung's disease were treated by transanal modified Soave procedure. The incision was made 1cm posterioly and 2-3 cm anterioly above the dental line; the dissection progressed from the submucosa layer up to the perineal reflex into the pelvic cavity, and the rectum was pulled through. "V" shap muscular cuff was excised on the posterior wall. The proximal colon was anastomosed to the anal mucosa. Results Mean operative time was 160 min ? 45 min, mean blood loss was 45 ml ?35 ml. No enterocolitis, anastomotic leak, perianal infection and anastomotic stenosis occurred. All patients recovered with normal defecation, and no complication was observed from a follow-up of more than 4 mos. Conclusion Modified Soave procedure is safe and effective for the treatment of Hirschsprung's disease in the neonate and infant.

Objective To investigate the signal transduction of bFGF to regulate the colorectal carci- noma cell growth via PI3K/PKB pathway.Methods MTT assay was used to determine the suppressive effect of bFGF on the growth rate of LoVo cell;(?-~(32)P)ATP incorporation assay was used to detect the increased activity of PKB in LoVo cell;the RT-PCR technique was used to test the expression of cyclin A;Western Blot analysis was used to detect the expressions of PKB and cyclin A protein.Results When the bFGF worked on the LoVo cell at various times,it was found that the PKB activity of the LoVo cell was increased by the(?-~(32)P) ATP incorporation assay.By preprocessing by the depressor-LY294002 and bFGF,the activity of PKB was sig- nificantly reduced(P

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of auricular point sticking plus basic nursing for constipation of excessive syndrome in acute stage of stroke.Method Ninety patients with constipation of excessive syndrome in acute stage of stroke were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 45 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by auricular point sticking plus basic nursing, while the control group was by basic nursing alone. The major symptom scores were observed before intervention and after 2-treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result Respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses, there were significant differences in comparing the major symptom scores between the two groups (P<0.05). The total effective rates were respectively 60.0% and 67.5% in the treatment group respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses, versus 37.5% and 45.0% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Auricular point sticking is an effective approach in treating constipation of excessive syndrome in acute stage of stroke.

BACKGROUND:The current studies concerning the effect of obesity on children are limited to metabolic physiology, and there is little evidence available on skeletal muscle and motor ability.
OBJECTIVE:To compare isokinetic knee muscle strength between obese children and normal children, and analyze the causes of physical performance decline in obese children.
METHODS:A total of 56 children were recruited in this study, including 28 obese children and 28 normal children. The isokinetic muscle strength was tested by CON-TREX. The gaits were tested by VICON. The statistical analysis of al the differences between obese children and normal children were measured using SPSS 19.0 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At the same gait speed, obese children had higher absolute peak torque and average power than normal children (P<0.05), but relative peak torque and relative average power showed no significant difference compared with normal children (P>0.05) except extensor group at 60(°)/s was significantly lower than normal children. At the same gait speed, the torque and power of extensor group were significantly higher than that of flexor group in the two groups (P<0.05);he obese children showed significant differences in the absolute peak torque and absolute average power compared with relative peak torque and relative average power of flexor group at 120(°)/s (P<0.05). In the two groups, the extensor exhibited higher torque in high speed, while the high flexor torque was found in low speed. Normal children had faster cadence and walking speed, significantly smal er step width and shorter stride time than obese children (P<0.05). Obese children have smal er relative strength and higher absolute strength than normal children;in addition, the low cadence and walking speed are found in obese children. These factors contribute to weak limb strength and insufficient motor ability.

Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations of ketamine on the differentiation of human T helper (Th) cells.Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ patients (aged 20-60 years) undergoing elective operation under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study.Peripheral venous blood samples were taken before anesthesia.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and divided randomly into three groups (n =20 each):being incubated in the presence of 0.9％ NaCl (group C),2.5 μg/ml ketamine (group K1) and 25.0 μg/ml ketamine (group K2),respectively,for 24 hours,and were then stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin for 48 hours,respectively.The percentages of Th1 and Th2 cells were detected by four-color fluorescence flow cytometry.The Th1/Th2 ratio was calculated.The levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2),IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,immunoreactive fibronectin-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the supernatant were determined by cytometric bead array.Results There was no significant difference in the levels of IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IFN-γ and TNF-α in the supernatant,the percentages of Th1 and Th2 cells and the ratio of Th1/Th2 among groups C,K1 and K2(P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The sedative and anesthetic concentrations of ketamine exert no effect on the differentiation of human Th cells in vitro.
