Objective To explore surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods Clinical data of 16 patients of UC undergoing surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Results In this series,16 out of 78 UC patients undergoing surgery included failing to control symptom by conservative therapy in 10, bowel obstruction in 3,suspected malignance in 3. Eight cases underwent total proctocolectomy and ileostomy,4 with total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA),2 with total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis,2 with partial colectomy. Conclusions The main indications for surgery in UC patients were failure of medical treatment, complicated bowel obstruction and suspected malignance. Total proctocolectomy and ileostomy is a cure for UC, total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis benifits defecation control but suffering from high incidence of stomal ulcer.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of transpulmonary thermodilution technique,for the quantification of extravascular lung water.Method Eighteen dogs were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal group(n=6),ALIp(acute lung injury caused by pulmonary monary origin causes)group(n=6)and a ALIexp(acute lung injury caused by extra-pulmonary origin causes)(n=6).ALI_(exp)model was prepared by intravenous injection of injection of oleie acid.ALI_p model was made by inhalation of detergent.Extravascular lung water(EVLW)was measured by PiCCO monitor(PULSION,Germany)before and immediately after the intratracheal introduction of normal saline into the alveoh of lungs of normal and ALI dogs.Results The EVLW of the normal group was(254.5?13.0)mL.The volume of the normal between pre-and postinstillation(?EVLW) was approximate to the volume of normal saline instilled with a good correlation(r=0.986,P

Objective： This study was designed to evaluate the clinical experience of esophageal replacement with colon (ERC). Methods： Among 51 patients, 6 with benign stricture and 45 with esophageal carcinoma, all of them were performed cervical esophagocologastrostomy. Among 51 patients, 48 patients received ERC by the transverse colon, including isoperistaltic anastomosis (27/48) and antiperistaltic anastomosis (21/48); three patients received ERC along the peristaltic direction by the right-side colon. In these patients, 24 cases were supplied blood by the arteria colica media and 27 cases by the arteria colica sinistra. Results： There was no operative death in the whole group. The postoperative complications consisted of leakage of cervical anastomosis(2 cases), cervical wound inflammation(3 cases), laryngeal recurrent nerve injury (1 cases), lung inflammation (3 cases). Conclusion： The authors conclude that colon was rich in blood and enough in length so that it can be grafted into neck and anastomosed with the esophagus and the result is satisfactory. Improved surgical technique can reduce the incidence of complications of ERC.

Objective To observe the early outcome and crisis onset after surgical treatment on myasthenia gravis with thymoma and analyze the relevant factors.Methods 436 patients with myasthenia gravis were treated surgically between January 1999 and Jan- uary 2005,58 patients with thymoma.The severity of MG disease was classified according to modified Osserman classification:type Ⅰ(n=17),type Ⅱ a(n=23),type Ⅱ b(n=12)and type Ⅲ(n=6).The distribution of thymomas by the Masaoka clinical stage showed 30 in stage Ⅰ,18 in stage Ⅱ,7 in stage Ⅲ and 3 in stage Ⅳ.The early outcome and crisis onset after surgical treat- ment were analyzed by statistical methods.Results After operation,symptoms improved in 16 eases(27.59%),no change in 18 eases(31.03%),deterioration in 11 cases(18.97%)and crisis onset or death in 13 cases.Logistic test showed that the possibility of crisis onset in patients with thymoma is 1.286 times higher than patients without thymoma.Patients with thymoma,type Ⅱ or above are in high risk group of crisis.The incidence rate of crsis in type Ⅱ group or above was significantly higher than type Ⅰ(P=0.048 0.05).Conclusion The risk of crsis onset after operation significantly raises in myasthenia gravis patients with thymoma.The staging of the disease are associated to development of crisis and crisis onset is independents to patho-staging of thymoma.

Objective To compare the ventilatory effects between three-way laryngeal mask airway (TLMA)and tracheal catheter (TC) on hemodynamics, respiratory function and stress responses on patients during bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Method Forty patients scheduled for BAL under general anesthesia were divided (stratified sampling) into either TLMA group (group T,n = 20) or TC group (group C, n = 20) according to the stratified sampling principle. SpO2, SBP, DBP and HR were measured in 5 min after entering the operating theater (To), just before inserting TLMA or TC(T1), immediately after inserting TLMA or TC(T2) ,3 min(T3), 5 min(T4), 10 min(T5)after mechanical ventilation, 10 min(T6),20 min(T7), 30 min(T8)during the course of BAL,immediately after extubating TLMA or TC (T9)and 3 min after extubating TLMA or TC (T10). The tidal volume (VT), peak inspiratory airway pressure (Ppeak) and end expiratory CO2 pressure(PETCO2)were recorded at T2,T4,T6,T7, T8, T10. The venous blood samples were taken at T0, T2, T3, T4, T6, T9, T10 for the measurements of epinephrine(AE), norepinephrine(NE)and dopamine (DA) levels with high performance liquid chromatography.Data were dealt with SPSS version 10.0 statistic software. The variables of hemodynamics and stress responses were analyzed with ANOVA of repeating test data. P ＜ 0.05 means the difference in statistical significance. Results In group C, SBP, DBP and HR were significantly higher than those in group T at T2 ,T3 ,T9 (P ＜ 0.05). In group C, the levels of Ppeak were significantly higher than those in group T at T6 ,T7 ,T8 (P ＜ 0.05), and the concentrations of AE, NE and DA were also significantly higher in group C than those in group T at T2, T3 and T9 (P ＜0.05). Conclusions Ventilation with TLMA in patients during BAL is better than TC in respects of keeping stable ventilation, stable hemodynamics and producing less stress responses.

Objective To explore the value of minute ventilation recovery time (VERT) as a weaning predictor in mechanically ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods A prospective study was performed from March 2008 to July 2012.Fifty-two COPD patients under mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours in our RICU tolerated a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and were ready for planned extubation.After SBT,these patients were placed back on their pre-SBT ventilator settings for up to 25 minutes,during which VERT was obtained.VERT was defined as the time for minute ventilation to return to baseline measured before SBT.Respiratory rate,tidal volume,minute ventilation and respiratory rate/tidal volume ratio were also obtained before SBT and just after SBT.Arterial blood gas data were measured and recorded before weaning.According to the weaning outcome,the patients were classified as successful group (40 cases) or failed group (12 cases).VERT and other quantitative variables were compared using t test.A multiple logistic regression was performed to explore possible factors associated with the weaning outcome.The sensitivity and specificity of VERT for predictive capacity in weaning were assessed using ROC cure.Results VERT and respiratory rate after SBT were significantly different between two groups.Multiple logistic regression revealed that VERT was the only predictor associated with weaning outcome (b =0.282,P ＜0.001).The area under ROC curve for VERT was 0.957 (95％ CI:O.907-1.008).With a cut-off value of 10.5 minutes,the sensitivity and specificity of VERT for predicting weaning failure were 1.0 and 0.85,respectively.Conclusions VERT may be a new predictor for extubation and determination of mechanical ventilation weaning in patients with COPD.VERT is a variable to be easily measured thereby being conveniently used in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the activition and polarization of microglia in the epileptic rats induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine. Methods One hundred male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group and different time points model groups including 1d,3d,7d and 14d. Epilepsy models were established by lithium chloride-pilocarpine intraperitoneal injection. The control group was given the same dosage of normal saline. The morphology change was detected by immunofluorescence,and the expressions of iNOS and Arg-1 were determined by IHC at respective time points. Results Compared the model groups with control group,microglia was activated,synapsis was shorten,volume got bigger,most of them seemed as amoebocyte,the expression of iNOS increased and Arg-1 decreased,especially at 3d.ConclusionThe results from this study indicated that microglia was activated and polarized in epileptic rats induced by pilocarpine.

Objective To compare the curative effect of high ligation+exfoliation and subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery(SEPS)for superficial varicose veins in calf+invagination spot-striping surgery in great venous varicosity.Methods Study group(42 patients)accepted SEPS+invagination spot-striping surgery and control group (42 patients)accepted traditional surgeries.Operation duration,bleeding volume in operation,the time of beginning movement away from bed after operation,hospitalization duration,the degree of pain,the scar,the recrudescence af- ter operation and the instance of the ulcer heals of two groups were compared.Results Operation duration,bleeding volume in operation,the time of begin movement away from bed after operation and hospitalization durations of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P0.05).All of the patients in study group recovered without severe syndromes such as venous thrombosis,skin necrosis,lower limb functional disorder etc.They had no recrudesce after 4～16 months and were satisfied with the curative effect.Con- elusions The clinical curative effect of SEPS+invagination spot-striping surgery in great venous varicosity is superi- or to that of traditional operation and it has the advantages such as minor wound,few scars,light pains,short hospi- talization duration,without recrudescence,the ulcer heals quickly and so on.
