Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of single-incision and conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy.Methods According to the Cochrane systematic review methods,literatures on the comparison of the effects of single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA) and conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (CTLA) were searched for in the PubMed,EMBASE,the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register,CNKI,CBM and VIP database.Data including the operation time,pain visual analogue scales scores,duration of postoperative hospital stay,incidence of postoperative complications,mean time of hospital stay and cost between the SILA and CTLA were compared by 2 reviewers.RevMan 4.2 software was used for Meta analysis,and the heterogeneity of the study was analyzed using the 12 test.Categorical variables were presented by odds ratio and 95％ confidence interval (95％ CI),and continuous variables were presented by weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95％C1.Results Eight randomized controlled trials including 1 444 patients were selected.All the patients were subdivided into the adults group (760 patients) and the children group (684 patients).A total of 721 patients received SILA (SILA group) and 723 received CTLA (CTLA group).The operation time of patients who received SILA in the adults group and the children group were significantly longer than those who received CTLA (WMD =4.40,7.39,95％ CI:2.14-6.66,2.16-12.61,P ＜0.05).There were no significant difference in the pain visual analogue scales scores,incidence of postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay between patients who received SILA and CTLA in the adults group and the children group (WMD =-0.34,95 ％ CI:-1.02-0.33,OR=0.97,95％CI:0.64-1.47; WMD=-0.19,95％CI:-1.14-0.76,P＞0.05).The cost of patients who received SILA was significantly higher than those who received CTLA in the children group (WMD =0.87,95 ％ CI:0.26-1.48,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is no obvious advantages of SILA in perioperative and postoperative outcomes when compared with CTLA.Therefore,SILA is only a possible alternative to CTLA other than the preferred method.

Objective To explore the relationship between flood ing and the prevalence of schistosomiasis in the river beach area. Met hods The subjects were investigated on the ways of exposure, frequency and duratio n of water conta cted from May to November in 1999, and eggs of Schistosoma were examined bef ore and after flooding. Results Exposure to infested water for human being s in the area comprised productive, living and recreational contacts including 11 kinds of activities, and 53.55% of the subjects contacted infested w ater. The number of person, frequency and duration of water contacted in floodin g strongly increased; the infection rate and density among population stron gly increased after flooding. There was significant difference between the infec tion rate in exposure group and that in non-exposure group. Conclusions It can be inferred that flooding has increased water contacted and i nfection, therefore, health education should be strengthened to avoid or dec rease water contact.

Objective: To observe the changes in nutrition indicators and the effect on chemotherapy complications as well as the safety of enteral nutrition by way of providing enteral nutrition support for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at the stage of induction chemotherapy. Methods: From November 2016 to September 2017, 60 children with newly diagnosed ALL at the Hematology Oncology Center of Beijing Children′s Hospital were enrolled in this study.They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, 30 cases for each group.The experimental group was given a high-calorie diet, high-quality protein, and high-medium-chain trigly-ceride enteral nutrition on the basis of a conventional low-fat diet, and the duration lasted the whole induction treatment of ALL children; while the control group was given a low-fat diet routinely.By analyzing relevant indicators before induction chemotherapy (D0), chemotherapy day 15 (D15), and after chemotherapy (D33), the changes in nutritional status and the effect on chemotherapy complications in 2 groups were investigated. Results: There was no significant difference in the body mass index (BMI) and the thickness of triceps skinfold between 2 groups before and after chemotherapy (all P>0.05). The upper arm circumference increased after chemotherapy in the experimental group[before treatment: (15.80±2.63) cm, after treatment: (16.27±2.57) cm], while that of the control group decreased slightly[before chemotherapy: (17.19±3.71) cm, after chemotherapy: (17.15±3.64) cm], and the difference between 2 groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After chemotherapy, the total protein levels in two groups decreased[the experimental group: (64.52±4.85) g/L, the control group: (61.97±4.65) g/L] which was significantly different from that before chemotherapy [the experimental group: (68.17±6.37) g/L, the control group: (68.08±5.14) g/L] (P<0.01). The total protein level of the experimental group after chemotherapy was significant higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Both albumin levels in 2 groups increased after chemotherapy [(42.45±4.32) g/L in the experimental group and (41.15±3.73) g/L in the control group], and there was a significant difference between 2 groups before chemotherapy [(39.54±3.26) g/L in the experimental group and (40.01±4.37) g/L in the control group] (P<0.05). The level of prealbumin increased after chemotherapy in both groups [(324.57±64.328) mg/L in the experimental group and (293.07±69.09) mg/L in the control group] compared with that before chemotherapy [(121.10±35.13) mg/L in the experimental group and(131.20±52.77) mg/L in the control group]. The change was statistically significant (P<0.01). The albumin level in the experimental group before chemotherapy was lower than that in the control group after chemotherapy, but it was higher than that in the control group after chemotherapy.Protein differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The reduction rate of elemental iron in the experimental group after chemotherapy was lower than that in the control group, but it was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Elemental zinc was not significantly different compared with the control group.The incidence of neutropenia after chemotherapy in ALL children was higher (37/60 cases, 61.67%). The recovery of neutropenia after chemotherapy in the experimental group was better than that in the control group.After chemotherapy, the severity of anemia in the experimental group was lighter than that in the control group.The amount of blood transfusion required and amount of transfusion per capita were less than those in the control group (54 person-times vs.74 person-times, 2.45 times vs.3.08 times). The total number of transfused blood products was less than that of the control group (78 person-times vs.101 person-times), but none of the findings above were statistically significant (all P>0.05). The degree of hepatic damage in the experimental group decreased after chemotherapy, but there was no significant change in the control group.The initial activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) prolongation in the trial group was more than that in the control group (5 cases vs.3 cases), and less than the control group (0 case vs.1 case) after chemotherapy.The frequency of fever in the experimental group during chemotherapy was less than that in the control group (6 cases vs.8 cases), and the average time of fever was shorter than that in the control group (2.8 d vs.4.1 d). None of the above findings were statistically significant (all P>0.05). During the course of chemotherapy, 0 pancreatitis occurred in the experimental group, and 1 pancreatitis occurred in the control group.There was no difference in remission rates between 2 groups of chemotherapy for 15 days and chemotherapy for 33 days. Conclusions The nutritional status of children with ALL was reduced after initial induction chemotherapy.Enteral nutrition support was helpful to maintain the nutritional status for children at the initial stage of chemotherapy, high-calorie diet, high-quality protein, and high-medium-chain triglyceride enteral nutrition support improves blood system tolerance to chemotherapy and reduces chemotherapy complications.
