Objective To study the clinical characteristics and misdiagnostic causes of acute perforation of peptic ulcer (APPU) in children ,ao as to improve the diagnosis and treatment . Methods The clinical data of 26 cases of APPU in children were analysed retrospectively. Results The clinical manifestations include abdominalgia , abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, fever; tension of abdominal muscle , epigastrium tenderness, rebounding pain,and gurgling sound attenuation or disappearance . The diagnosis was made preoperatively in 10 cases , and misdiagnosed in the other 16 cases . All patients underwent perforation repairing operation . There was no mortality in this series. All the patients were followed up for 1 to 2 years,and only 2 cases (7.7%) had peptic ulcer reccurrence. Conclusions Peptic ulcer in children often occurrs in schoolage and most of ulcers were duodenal ulcer. The clinical manifestation of APPU in children has no specific clinical presentation . The early diagnosis of APPU in children is difficult. Combined use of X ray with B ultrasonic examination can apparently improve the accurate rate of diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made ,the surgical treatment should be performed as early as possible. The perforation repair should be chosen at first. Anti-Hp treatment should be given postoperatively.

[Objective] To investigate the stability and function of atlantoaxial segment after atlas odontoid process artificial joint replacement.[Method]Ten fresh adult human head and neck specimens were chosen for biomechanical models.The range of motion(ROM),neutral zone(NZ)and stiffness under intact state,post-decompression,post-replacement surgery and post-fatigue were measured respectively.[Result]After decompression,ROM,NZ and stiffness in flexion,extension,right and left lateral bending,and right and left axial rotation increased significantly(P0.05)than that in intact state group.[Conclusion]Artificial atlantoaxial joint in this study has been proved to have biomechanical significance in morphology and dynamic.It has advantages of stable replacement,simple operation,less injury and low wear characteristics.It provides a new choice for the atlantoaxial fusion of anterior or posterior approach.

[Objective]To determine the initial stability and function of a new artificial joint in a cadaveric cervical spine model by comparing it with a conventional method. [Methods]Twelve fresh human cadaveric cervical spines(C0~3) were randomly divided into 2 groups: group 1,resection of the odontoid with artificial atlanto-odontoid joint(AAOJ),and group 2,resection of the odontoid with Magerl atlas and axis by transarticular screw fixation(Magerl).For each specimen,the intact and resection of the odontoid underwent a flexibility test firstly,followed by the instrumented construct.Rotational angles of the C0~3 segment were measured to study the immediate stability and function of resection of the odontoid and AAOJ,compared with the intact and resection of the odontoid and Magerl.[Results]Compared to the intact state,resection of the odontoid and AAOJ resulted in a significant decrease in the range of motion(ROM) and neutral zone(NZ) during flexion,extension,and lateral bending(P0.05).Compared to the intact state,resection of the odontoid and Magerl resulted in a significant decrease in the range of motion(ROM) and neutral zone(NZ) during all 6 degrees of freedom(P0.05).[Conclusion]A new type of artificial atlanto-odontoid joint has been designed for correcting atlantoaxial instability resulted from C1、2 anterior decompression procedures.It can restore,to a great extent,the C1、2 axial rotation that is lost during current stabilization procedures.

In order to monitor the emotional state changes of audience on real-time and to adjust the music playlist, we proposed an algorithm framework of an electroencephalogram (EEG) driven personalized affective music recommendation system based on the portable dry electrode shown in this paper. We also further finished a preliminary implementation on the Android platform. We used a two-dimensional emotional model of arousal and valence as the reference, and mapped the EEG data and the corresponding seed songs to the emotional coordinate quadrant in order to establish the matching relationship. Then, Mel frequency cepstrum coefficients were applied to evaluate the similarity between the seed songs and the songs in music library. In the end, during the music playing state, we used the EEG data to identify the audience's emotional state, and played and adjusted the corresponding song playlist based on the established matching relationship.

Objective To study the feasibility of tubal reversal after sterilization by laparoscopy.Methods From May 2002 to December 2005,31 patients with tubal ligation received laparoscopic tubal reversal by one-core or two-dot apposition and demixing suture of the serosa.Results The laparoscopic tubal reversal was successful in all the 31 cases.Thirty of the patients were followed up for 8-24 months(mean,16 months);27 of them had intrauterine gestation,3 were non-pregnant;none of them had ectopic gestation.Conclusions Laparoscopic tubal reversal after sterilization can satisfy with the desire and principle of microsurgery.It is feasible for clinical application and has good outcomes.

Objective To observe the short -term effect and safety of entecavir in the treatment of 50 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Methods 92 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis met the inclusion criteria in our hospital were selected as study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into the observation group (46 cases)and the control group(46 cases).The control group received routine treatment,including the liver,liver, diuretic,jaundice,symptomatic and supportive treatment and prevention of complications.The observation group was given entecavir for 48 weeks on the basis of the control group,0.5 mg /times,qd.The clinical effects were assessed after treatment.Results The HBV -DNA,ALT,TBIL,Child -Pugh score of the observation group and the control group after treatment were (2.05 ±0.32)log10 IU /mL and (3.11 ±0.36)log10 IU /mL,(32.1 ±8.5)U /L and (90.3 ±12.6)U /L,(27.8 ±7.1 )μmol/L and (35.3 ±8.2)μmol/L,(6.42 ±1.24)points and (9.20 ± 1.46)points,which were significantly lower than before treatment (t =6.563 and 5.341,11.266 and 7.044,7.346 and 6.013,6.252 and 4.423,all P <0.05).The ALB levels were (38.5 ±2.9)g/L and (34.4 ±3.0)g/L,which were significantly higher than before treatment(t =4.812 and 3.701,all P <0.05).The HBV -DNA,ALT,TBIL, Child -Pugh score of the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than the control group (t =3.335, 3.431,3.411,3.204,all P <0.05).The ALB of the observation group after treatment was significantly higher than the control group (t =3.034,P <0.05).There were two cases of deaths(4.45%)in the observation group,8 cases of deaths(17.39%) in the control group because of progressive deterioration,there was significant difference in treatment outcome between the two groups(χ2 =4.039,P <0.05).Conclusion Entecavir can delay progression, effectively reducing HBV -DNA,improve liver function and Child -Pugh score in the treatment of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis,it can be used as first -line drug use.

Objective To explore the polymorphism distribution of the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) gene i6 in Zunyi region. Methods HSL i6 in the Zunyi population was examined with ploymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP),and analyzed for its distribution. Results Six different alleles and 11 different genotypes were found in the HSL i6. The PIC is more than 0.7,in which allele 6 and allele 7 were most widely distributed.Conclusion The polymorphism of HSL i6 was identified and the result suggests in Zunyi HSL as a candidate gene of glucose and lipid metabolism.
