Abodominal giant incisional hernia is the common complication of abdominal operations,and surgery is the only efficient treatment for it.It is important to treat the local complications,to use antibiotics and to assess the tolerance of increased intra-abdominal pressure before operation.Component separation technique is feasible to close the abdominal wall defect,which is one of the main difficuhies in giant heruia repair.After that,mesh repair with biological materials is recommended to enhance the abdominal wall.Although mesh repair techniques diversified,sandwich hernionhaphy seems superior.This paper will analyse the present treatment progress of abdominal giant incisional hernia.

BACKGROUND: With development of modern medical sciences, the out comes after meningioma surgery cannot be fully assessed using morbidity,livability and mortality merely. Quality of life (QOL) is a health-related multivariable index, which provides integrated inf ormation associated with physiological,sychological and social adaptation status of the patients to doctors. Assessment of the QOL in meningioma patients may be one of a relatively good method for guiding surgery and reducing reoccurrence of tuOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the QOL in meningioma patients and then to provide relevant data for assessing the outcomes of meningioma surgery comprehensively.DESIGN: It was a single-sample investigation. SETTING: Neurosurgery Department, Second People's Hospital of Wuxi City of Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 147 patients underwent meningioma surgery in the Neurosurgery Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wuxi City affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between January 1995 to January 2001 were selected, 61 males and 86 females, with a male/female ratio of 2:3 and an age ranging from 5-77 years old, in average of 43 years old, and the median was 43 years old.METHODS: Based on World Health Organization Quality of Life 100item questionnaire (WHOQOL-100) and Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS), we designed a questionnaire on QOL in patients with meningioma.Outcomes of the transverse investigation on 147 meningioma patients were compared with healthy controls. Surgery-related QOL curve was used for identifying the threshold satisfactory point of QOL. In addition, with selfcontrol, influence of surgery on QOL was assessed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Relationship between QOL and clinical histories, radiological analysis, operation grading, histological properties and reoccurrence were investigated.RESULTS: All of the 147 patients entered the statistical analysis. ①In patient with meningioma, Cronbach's coefficient was 0.9521 and the correlated coefficient was 0.8685, which suggested that QOL questionnaire for patients with meningioma had a good reliability and validity. ②QOL ≥70 represented that the patient was satisfied with the QOL. ③In patients underwent surgical treatment, their physiological functions, self-help and self-care except for psychological functions were significantly improved (P ＜ 0.001 ).CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment enables patients to get a satisfied QOL. QOL questionnaire for patients with meningioma is helpful to provide relevant data for meningioma operation.

The experimental study of cerebral ischemia plays an important role for understanding the pathogenesis of ischemic brain injury, but its correlation with the clinical therapeutic strategies has certain limitations. One of its main reasons is that the experimental models and methods can not or only partially repeat the pathophysiological processes of natural cerebral ischemia. In order to promote the understanding and interpretation of the experimental data, we review the commonly used experimental animal models and modeling methods and mainly elaborate the methods of current different in vivo and in vitro clinical evaluation. Based on these studies, we believe that the standardized clinical evaluations are hugely important for assessing the experimental results and clinical transformation.

[Objective]To investigate the prevalence rate of adolescent scoliosis in Heilongjiang province. [Methods]A total of 17 525 students(aged 7 ~15 years old) from 28 primary and secondary schools were screened for scoliosis from April 2007 to May 2009.Physical examination,corrugated photography and X-ray were used for the screening,prevalence rate was calculated and correspondent treatment was given to patients.[Results]The result of first check-positive was 911(5.20%),with male 448(4.92%),female 463(5.44%).The second check-positive was 413(2.36),with male 181(2.00%),female 232(2.73%),387 in them received the third check.In the third check,335 patients were found the Cobb's angle ≥10?,with the prevalence rate of 1.91%(male 147,1.63%,female 188,2.21%).[Conclusion]Adolescent scoliosis can be early found,early diagnosed,prevented and treated by general survey.

SPR biosensor can inspect a lot of biochemical indexes exactly,sensitively,fast and simply.It also can inspect reciprocity of inter-molecule in real time.In 20 years,it has become a popular photoelectric technique in clinical examination.This article introduces the basic principle,structure and application of SPR biosensor in clinical examination.

Ultrastructural changes of the inner cell mass (ICM) in rabbit blastocysts from 4 to 7 days post coitum (p.c.) were observed with transmission electron microscope. It revealed that ICM of blastocyst on day 5 p.c. began to differentiate after they were arranged into a single layer, and under which the primitive endoderm appeared. It is suggested that the primitive endodermal cells in rabbit blastocysts are derived from the scattered ICM-like cells at the inner surface of the mural trophoblast rather than delaminated from ICM proper. In this paper, disruption and disappearance of polar trophoblast are described and discussed.

Objective We categorized chronic constipation according to colonic transit time (CTT) and transit index (TI), and investigated the abnormalities of anorectal motility and sensory function in patients in different categories. Methods Each subject ingested 20 radiopaque markers, and abdominal X rays were obtained at 72 h. Chronic constipation was categorized according to CTT and TI. Anorectal manometry was carried out in all subjects to investigate the abnormalities of anorectal motility and sensory function in patients in different categories. Results Chronic constipation was divided into four types: normal transit constipation (NTC), slow transit constipation (STC), outlet obstructive constipation (OOC), and mixed type constipation (MC). Patients with constipation displayed significantly lower anorectal resting pressure, squeezing pressure and larger rectal maximum tolerate volume than controls ( P

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, operation time and methods for patients with central brain herniation caused by bifrontal contusions. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the medical records of patients with central brain herniation caused by bifrontal contusions admitted from January 2000 to December 2006. There were 45 males and 18 females, at age range of 20-72 years (average 43 years). The majority of the patients were victims of falls and traffic accidents. There were 29 patients treated with immediate operation and 34 with emergency operation. All the operations involved simultaneous bilateral craniectomy for decompression, including 17 patients treated with bilateral decompressive craniectomy and 46 with unilateral decompressive craniectomy. Results The prognosis was favorable in 19 patients with GOS score of 5 or 4 points, severely disabled in seven with GOS score of 3 points, vegetative in four with GOS score of 4 points and the worst in seven with GOS score of 1 point. Of all, 19 patients suffered severe mental disorders especially personality change and disturbance of intelligence. Seven patients were complicated by epilepsy and three by hydrocephalus. Conclusions Based on early clinical manifestations of central brain herniation combined with imaging manifestations, bilateral balance decompression craniectomy can reduce the mortality and morbidity and improve the cure rate of patients with central herniation caused by bifrontal brain contusions.
