Objective To compare the graft function of 2 methods of kidney harvesting,the modified method of combined liver and kidney procurement and rapid en bloc kidney procurement. Methods The clinical data of 220 cadaveric renal transplantation recipients were collected(12 months follow-up),174 cases from en bloc kidney procurement and 46 from combined liver and kidney procurement.The average harvesting time,the incidence of renal vein injury,1 year kidney survival and incidence of acute rejection were compared between the two methods.Results In average harvesting time and incidence of renal vein injury,the en bloc kidney procurement were better than the method of combined liver and kidney procurement.However,the method of combined liver and kidney procurement was better than the en bloc kidney procurement in 1 year kidney survival,1 year incidence of acute rejection and average warm ischemia time.There was no difference in 1 year survival of patients and 24 h,1 week and 1 year graft function after transplantation. Conclusion Although the method of combined liver and kidney procurement is better than the en bloc kidney procurement in 1 year kidney survival and 1 year incidence of acute rejection,there is no difference between the 2 methods in 1 year survival of patients and graft function after transplantation.

Objective To investigate the learning curve of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass ( MIDCAB) via left anterior small thoracotomy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed results of a consecutive series of 80 patients underwent MIDCAB via left anterior small thoracotomy performed by a single surgeon.The patients were divided into 4 groups ( group A, B, C, D, n=20 in each group) according to the sequence of the operation.The left internal mammary artery ( LIMA) harvesting time, anastomosis time, total operative time, the drainage volume of the first day postoperation, mechanical ventilation time, hospital stays postoperation, in-hospital morbidity and mortality were compared.The learning curve was assessed by means of regression analysis with logarithmic curve fitting. Results The basic clinical characters were similar in all groups before the operation.The operations were accomplished successfully in all the 80 cases.No intraoperative conversion to sternotomy, death, or perioperative myocardial infarction happened.The LIMA-harvesting time in the group B, C, and D was significantly shorter than that in the group A [(53.7 ±19.2) min, (50.2 ±17.7) min, and (43.2 ±10.3) min vs.(77.0 ±30.0) min, P =0.001, 0.000, and 0.000].There was no difference between group B and C, B and D, C and D in the LIMA-harvesting time (P>0.05).The total operative time in the group B, C, and D was significantly shorter than in the group A [ (128.7 ±21.7) min, (129.0 ±33.3) min, and (112.2 ±14.5) min vs. (165.2 ±41.8) min, all P=0.000], without difference between the group B and C, B and D, C and D (P>0.05).The learning curve models were obtained: LIMA-harvesting time ( min) =113.77 -16.869 × ln ( operation number); total operative time (min)=220.281 -25.276 ×ln (operation number). Conclusion MIDCAB via left anterior small thoracotomy is safe and effective, with a learning curve of approximately 20 cases.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of volt-ampere characteristics of Yuan-Primary acupoints in women before, during and after menstruation, and to find out the relationships between Qi-blood in human body and volt-ampere characteristics of acupoints, so as to develop a new method for quantitative analysis on changes of Qi-blood. METHODS: A high-sensitive detection system of volt-ampere characteristics of acupoint was applied to detecting the volt-ampere characteristics of Taiyuan (LU 9), Daling (PC 7) and Shenmen (HT 7) in healthy women before, during and after menstruation. RESULTS: The resistances on LU 9, PC 7 and HT 7 with some certain scan currents were quite different among the women before, during and after menstruation. For such changes, PC 7 was of the most obvious change, LU 9 was of the less and HT 7 was of the least. The total ratio of the scanning spots with significantly increasing changes of resistances on these three acupoints along with the menstrual process was 70.6%. CONCLUSION: The volt-ampere characteristics of acupoints vary with the menstrual process, which is of the acupoint specificity. The resistances on the acupoints increase with the menstrual process, and such results may be due to the blood loss during menstruation. The volt-ampere characteristics can be used as a quantitative index to study on the change of Qi and blood.

Conclusions This established quick triage assessment form is simple, intuitive and can improve the quality of emergency triage work. It possesses feasibility, practicality and achieves the optimal medical services with the limited emergency medical resources, which shows both social and economic effect.

ObjectiveObserve the efficacy, toxicity and the effection of telomerase activity of allicin combined with paclitaxel plus cisplatin and 5-Fu(TFP)chemotherapy for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma.MethodsFifty-four patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. A group was treated with allicin and TFP, B group was only treated with TFP. The chemotherapy was paclitaxel (135 mg/m2, dl, 8) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d2-4) followed by 5-Fu (500 mg/m2 d1-5). Allicin was used in 60 days(3 times every day,once 20 mg).Telomerase activity was performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ResultsThe total efficiency rate was 40.7 ％ (11/27) in A group and 33.3 ％ (9/27) in B group.There was no statistical difference between the two groups(~ = 0.079,P =0.779).There was significant difference in nausea and vomit (P =0.043), and the incidence of A group was 77.8 ％ (21/27) which was lower than that of B group[92.6 ％(25/27)].There was statistical difference in telomerase activity between the two groups(P =0.000).ConclusionAllicin could reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and inhibit the telomerase activity in advanced gastric carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the effect of using serf-designed facial support in prone position for patients after vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. Methods 100 patients with vitrectomy and sili-cone oil tamponade were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 50 pa-tients in each group. The self-designed facial support in prone position was used in the experimental group, while the routing nursing measure was used in the control group. The ocular adverse effect and re-lapse rate were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence rate of corneal edema, in-creased intraocular pressure and retinal redetachment in the experimental group was higher than those in the control group, the time of keeping position in the experimental group was longer than that in the con-trol group. Conclusions Self-designed facial support in prone position can decrease discomfort and pain caused by compulsive position, reduce the incidence of complications, improve retinal attachment and increase the successful rate for the patients with vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade.

Objective To investigate the factors that induce constipation in bedridden patients undergoing replantation of severed finger and find countermeasures. Methods A retrospective investigation was carried out in 92 patients undergoing replantation of severed finger, their constipation and factors influencing constipation were recorded. Results 61 patients suffered from constipation in total 92 cases,the rate being 66.30%. 76 patients reduced food intake, and 59 cases presented constipation (the rate being 77.63%). Factors influencing constipation included being unaccustomed to defecate in bed (the rate that present with constipation being 87.09%),reluctant to trouble others(75.47%), side effects of drugs(55.56%) and lack of dietary knowledge (71.87%), decreasing food intake was closely bound up with constipation. Conclusions Proper psychological counseling, strengthening of health propaganda, comfortable facility for defecation, improved family support and oral food intake can significantly reduce the proportion of constipation and increase comfort degree of patients.
