Objective To determine the optimum water-extracting technology of Mailuoning injection. Methods The orthogonal test was used to select the water extract technology of Mailuoning injection. Results The best technology was that crude drug was added 12 and 8 times water, then soaked 0.5 h, and extracted for l.5 and 1.0 h. Conclusion The study of technology provides the basis for further purification.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of different background volumes of ropivacaine in continuous tibial nerve block of postoperative analgesia after calcaneal surgery.Methods:This study was a prospective,randomized,controlled study.Sixty cases of calcaneal visual analogue scale (ASA)ⅠorⅡundergoing elective surgery were selected and randomly assigned to two groups,thirty cases in each group.The patients received popliteal fossa posterior tibial nerve block using ultrasound guided.The con-tinuous stimulation catheter was inserted after successful position and the 0.2%ropivacaine was injected. The background volumes of the A and B groups were 5 mL/h and 3.2 mL/h.The VAS score,the senso-ry block and motor block of tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve,and the satisfaction of the patients at h 12,h 24 and h 48 were recorded after catheter insertion.Results:The VAS scores at the three time points (h 12,h 24 and h 48)on the two groups of the patients were compared,and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05).The difference of the sensory block and the motor block of the tibial nerve at the three time points (h 12,h 24 and h 48)on the two groups of the patients were also compared,and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).The difference of the sensory block and the motor block of common peroneal nerve at h 48 hs was statistically significant,group A was higher than the group B (P<0.05).The difference of the patient satisfaction at the three time points (h 12,h 24 and h 48)on the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion:The use of 0.2% ropivacaine with the background volume of 3.2 mL/h in continuous tibial nerve block can pro-vide good analgesia and reduce the incidence of the sensory block and motor block of the common perone-al nerve.

Objective To evaluate retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Methods From June of 1999 to January of 2001, retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed on 52 patients with adrenal diseases, including 34 cases of aldosterone-preducing adenoma,3 nodular hyperplasia bilateral in 1, 5 Cushing's syndrom,1 Cushing's disease, 3 adrenal pheochromacytoma (bila- teral in 1), 4 nonfunctional adrenal adenoma, 1 myelolipoma and 1 metastasis carcinoma. Results 54 sessions of retroperitoneal adrenalectomy have been carried out for 52 patients (2 on both sides) with success in 51 procedures. The procedure was converted to open operation in 3 occasions because of bleeding or adhesion. The mean operation time was 135 minutes (40～270 min), and the estimated blood loss 45 ml (5～150 ml) with no need of transfusion. The postoperative hospital stay was 6 d (3～14 d) and the mean analgesia consumed 8.5 mg (0～50 mg) of morphine equivalents with no need of any analgesic at all in 17 patients. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was less traumatic to the patients, with less postoperative discomfort and quicker recovery. The procedure should be considered as the first choice of therapy for benign adrenal diseases.

Objective To evaluate retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of primary aldosteronism. Methods Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery was performed in 90 patients with primary aldosteronism (92 sites on either or both sides).Their clinical indicators were compared with those of 30 cases undergoing open surgery. Results Retroperitoneal laparoscopic procedures were successfully performed in 91 of the 92 sides.In these successful cases,mean operative time was 93 minutes (compared with 114 minutes in open surgery cases),mean volume of blood loss was 36 ml (compare with 87 ml),mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.8 d(compared with 11.0 d),mean time to flatus was 1.6 d (compared with 3.1 d),and mean time to walk around was 2.1 d(compared with 3.3 d), P

0.05).In the 16 cases,17 retroperitoneal laparoscopic excisions of pheochromocytoma were successful,only 1 was converted to open surgery due to intraoperative bleeding. The mean operative time was 85?31 (range,45 to 150) min in laparoscopic surgery group vs 155?39 (90 to 240) in open surgery group (P

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for 3 patients with primary aldosteronism who previously underwent ipsilateral adrenal surgery or nephrectomy. Methods From October 2003 to March 2004,transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed on 3 male patients with primary aldosteronism,including 2 patients (39 and 72 years,respectively) who had previously undergone ipsilateral retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for Conn’s adenoma and 1 patient (42 years) who had previously undergone ipsilateral open nephrectomy for renal tuberculosis. Results Transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was successfully performed on all the 3 patients; no complication occurred.The mean tumor size was average 1.7 cm in greatest dimension;the mean operative time was average 93 min;the mean estimated blood loss was average 18 ml,and no one needed blood transfusion.The postoperative food intake time was average 17 h,and postoperative hospital stay was average 5.0 d. Conclusions Although scar and adhesion of previous operation may present more difficulties in the subsequent operation,it is feasible to perform transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy through different surgical access on the patients who have previously underwent ipsilateral retroperitoneal adrenal or nephric surgery.

Objective To analyze the change of the proportions of the hospitalization causes in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF) in a single-central hospital in late 20 years.Methods 1 259 hospitalized cases diagnosed primarily as chronic heart failure were selected from the First Central Hospital of Tianjin during 1983-2002,and divided into two groups with a decade interval.A comparative analysis was performed to explore the proportions of the primary,concomitant and multiple causes of hospitalization for CHF patients between two groups.Results(1) The most common primary causes in general cases was coronary artery disease(CAD,56.6%),rheumatic heart disease(RHD,20.9%) and pulmonary heart disease(PHD,9.2%).During the latter decade,the proportions of CAD and dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) increased,while RHD,PHD,congenital heart disease(CHD) decreased.(2) The causes of concomitant disease for CHF was essential hypertension(EHT,44.0%),diabetes mellitus(DM,16.4%),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD,14.3%),cerebral-vascular disease(CVD,11.4%) and anemia(5.2%).All proportions of these concomitant diseases except COPD increased during the latter decade(P
