Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) in patients with chronic renal dysfunction at azotaemic stage.Methods Clinical data of 7 patients accompanying chronic renal dysfunction at azotaemic stage treated with LC between May 2004 and September 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.The operation was performed under general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation.The CO2 pressure was maintained at 9～12 mm Hg.The LC was conducted with 3-port technique in 5 patients and 4-port technique in 2.Results The LC was completed smoothly in all the 7 patients.Patients' renal dysfunction was not aggravated.There was no significant difference between pre-and post-operative time in levels of blood urea nitrogen(11.92?4.06 mmol/L vs 12.16?3.76 mmol/L;t=0.50,P=0.633) and blood creatinine(208.62?134.37 ?mol/L vs 204.20?125.53 ?mol/L;t= 0.51,P=0.626).As compared with preoperative levels,the creatinine clearance rates were not significantly changed at 2 weeks after operation in 3 patients(40.03 ml/min vs 45.61 ml/min;32.28 ml/min vs 38.93 ml/min;56.72 ml/min vs 51.60 ml/min).Follow-up checkups for 4～20 months(mean,10 months) showed no aggravation of renal dysfunction.Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a feasible and safe procedure for patients with chronic renal dysfunction at azotaemic stage.

Objective To study the feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy accompanied by simultaneous umbilical hernia repair.Methods Twenty-four adult patients received laparoscopic cholecystectomy accompanied by simultaneous umbilical hernia repair in our hospital from November 2003 to April 2008.An incision was made in navel defect and entered the abdominal cavity under a direct vision.LC was performed by 3-trocar technique.Umbilical hernia was repaired by Mayo' style.Results The operation was successfully completed in all the cases.The operation time ranged from 35 to 65 minutes (mean,48 minutes),the blood loss was 5-30 ml(mean,16 ml),and hospital stay after the operation was 3 -4 days.No patient dereloped wound infection or skin necrosis.No recurreme was found during a 1-to 54-month follow-up(mean,28.6 months).Conclusions Laparoscopie cholecystectomy accompanied by simultaneous umbilical hernia repair is a safe and effective procedure.Mayo repair is simple and effective for umbilical hernia with less fascial defects.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of laparosco-pie examination in ascites.Methods The data of twenty-three cases with ascites of unknown origin undergoing laparescopie examination and pathologic examination were retrospectively analyzed from May 2004 to August 2008.Results Twenty-two eases were definitely diagnosed by laparoscopie exploration,the positive rate was 95.6%.One ease re-mained unknown.Among them,18 eases were tuberculous peritonitis; 3 eases were metastatic adenocarcino-ma; one ease was peritoneal mesothelioma.No obvious postoperative complications occurred.Conclusion Laparoscopie examination is a safe method with hige definite diagnostic rate,which has important values in diagnosis of ascites of unknown origin.

?AIM: To explore the effects of “one week with one case” teaching method with college - enterprise cooperation in the theoretical classes of contact lens courses, which provide the basis for teaching reform.?METHODS: Fifty-six students in optometry major of Grade 2012 from Xi’an Medical College were divided into 2 groups randomly. The experimental group of 28 students used “one week with one case” teaching method with college-enterprise cooperation; the control group of 28 people used traditional “one week with one case”teaching method. The examination scores and questionnaire were used to evaluate the teaching effects.?RESULTS:The students of experimental group acquired higher test scores in short-answer questions and the case analysis questions compared with students of control group (P<0. 05). The questionnaire survey showed the“one week with one case” teaching method with college-enterprise cooperation acquired higher scores in 6 items which include the intensity of learning interest, information acquisition ability, team cooperation ability, communication skills, oral communication ability and the satisfaction of teaching method (P<0. 05). Four items included participation, preparation, communication ability and team spirit of experimental group students were significantly superior to those of the control group students (P<0. 05).?CONCLUSION:“One week with one case” teaching method with college-enterprise cooperation can improve comprehensive ability of students. It is an effective teaching method with the characteristics of the contact lens courses.

Objective To find out the satisfaction changes among young medical workers and explore the influence of the healthcare reform on such people.Methods A survey was conducted by means of random sampling among 716 medical workers under 45 years old from 6 hospitals,and combined with the survey data in 2009,young medical workers′satisfaction changes and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results Young medical workers′satisfaction is generally low,with declining satisfaction of social respect as well;satisfaction of medical workers in community medical institutions and secondary medical institutions was found declining dramatically.Conclusions Healthcare reform should pay more attention to these young people in terms of their own satisfaction,especially for those working at primary healthcare institutions.

Objective To investigate the effect of parthenolide ( PTL) and PKC inhibitor on human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cell proliferation and apoptosis and the mechanism involved .Methods Human GIST cell lines were cultured in vitro, and the cell proliferation rate of GIST , was determinate by MTT;flow cytometry was used to test the early apoptosis rate of GIST;Western blot assay was applied to detect the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins , GRP78 and GADD153.There were four groups: control group , PTL group, PKC inhibitor group , combine PTL and PKC inhibitor group .Results PTL and PKC inhibitor combination therapy for GIST was sig-nificantly more effective than a single-drug therapy (P<0.05);as for the early apoptosis rate , the combination ther-apy for GIST cells was significantly higher than that medication alone group (P<0.05).the expression of endoplas-mic reticulum stress-associated protein GRP 78 and GADD153 was obviously higher in PTL and PKC inhibitor combi-nation group than that in medication alone group (P<0.05).Conclusions PTL and PKC inhibitor combination therapy for GIST cells can induce apoptosis , which is possibly mediated via endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway .
