Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2017;17(8):695-697
Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained chronic abdominal pain.Methods From January 2014 to February 2016, clinical data of 56 unexplained chronic abdominal pain undergoing laparoscopic surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Laparoscopic exploration was performed firstly and then the corresponding abnormalities were diagnosed and dealt with accordingly.Results The disease causes were explicit in 48 cases (85.7%), including 25 cases of abdominal adhesions, 8 cases of chronic appendicitis, 2 cases of small intestinal diverticulum, 2 cases of intestinal tuberculosis, 2 cases of lymphoma, 5 cases of endometriosis, 2 cases of tubal adhesions, 1 case of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer after surgery, and 1 case of appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma.Surgical treatment was performed in 43 cases, 3 of whom were converted to laparotomy.There were no postoperative complications in the 56 cases.The follow-up rate was 92.9% (52/56), and lost of follow-up was in 4 cases.The follow-up duration was from 3 months to 3 years (median, 19.4 months).There was 1 death case (peritoneal carcinomatosis).There were 35 cases (62.5%) of complete relief of abdominal pain (no recurrence of preoperative abdominal pain symptoms) and 12 cases (21.4%) of pain relief (preoperative pain decreased or interval extended).The total effective rate was 83.9% (47/56).Conclusion Laparoscopy is of high value in the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained chronic abdominal pain.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal cocoon. Methods This article retrospectively summarized clinical data of 6 cases of abdominal cocoon. Results All the 6 cases of abdominal cocoon were misdiagnosed preoperatively: 5 cases were diagnosed as having intestinal obstruction and 1 case,abdominal mass.Partial or total capsule resection was adopted in all the 6 cases,1 of which simultaneously underwent intestinal arrangement. Conclusions Abdominal cocoon is not specific,which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.Upper digestive tract radiography,B-ultrasonography and CT scanning help to make the diagnosis.Partial or total capsule resection,intestinal arrangement,intestinal resection and release for intestinal adhesion are usually adopted as the treatment.

Objective To probe the effect of transareolar or mastoscopy assisted breast-conserving surgery combined with open axillary lymph node dissection in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods Nineteen patients, with breast cancer of a diameter cm from the nipple, were treated by transareolar or mastoscopy assisted breast-conserving surgery from August 2001 to November 2003.After the lipolysis and suction of axillary fat,open axillary lymph node dissection was performed. Results Intraoperative frozen pathological examination had showed positive margin in 1 case, in which an enlarged excision was required to obtain a negative result. Postoperative subcutaneous edema underlying the operated site occurred in 2 cases and was cured by needle aspiration and pressure dressing. Excellent cosmetic outcomes were obtained with symmetrical breast development and all the patients were satisfied with the treatment. Postoperative follow-up for 2~19 months (mean, 10.6 months) found no recurrence in the breast or the axillary fossa. Conclusions Breast-conserving surgery can be expediently carried out by means of transareolar incision or with the help of mastoscopy. The combination with open axillary lymph node dissection may give favorable effect.

Objective To study the clinical feasibility and effect of totally endoscopic resection of axillary accessory breast.Methods Totally endoscopic resection of axillary accessory breast was performed in 48 cases(59 sites).On the basis of liposuction,a camera port and two 5-mm working trocars were made.By using forceps,dissecting scissors,or harmonic knife,were inserted.The cobweb-like fibropartition around the accessory breast was dissected.Results Postoperatively,there were 1 case of subcutaneous liquid accumulation and 2 cases of subcutaneous petechia,and no hematoma or infection developed.All wounds healed by first intention.Follow-up observations for 2~58 months(mean,23.6 months) showed good appearance and satisfactory effects.Conclusions Totally endoscopic resection of axillary accessory breast is safe,offering good cosmetic effects and being worthy of recommendation.

Objective To determine standard of Scutellaria baicalensis extract with fingerprint characteristic. Methods HPLC technique had been used to determine the content of eight flavones in S. baicalensis extract by HPLC. Results S. baicalensis extract had relative stability of fingerprint characteristic. The characterization method of fingerprint and analysis mothod were precise and rapid. Conclusion The standard of S. baicalensis extract with fingerprint characteristic has been obtained. It can be used to control the quality of S. baicalensis extract and it can support the component of Chinese materia medica.

OBJECTIVE To study the optimal reagent for regeneration of aptamer-coated piezoelectric quartz crystal chips and detect storage ability of aptamer-coated chips. METHODS Anti-IgE aptamers were immobilized on the gold surface of piezoelectric quartz crystal biosensor with biotin-avidin method. The reaction between anti-IgE aptamers and IgE was monitored in time on piezoelectric sensor. We tried to regenerate the sensor surface after binding IgE by rinsing the aptamer-coated chips with HCl, NaOH, EDTA, urea and formamide individually. Aptamer-coated chips were stored in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and the stored chips were used to detect IgE in 35 days. RESULTS Of the five reagents, EDTA was the best one for regeneration of aptamer-coated chips and the sensor could retain 91.5% of the original detecting signals after five regeneration cycles. Moreover, the aptamer-coated chips could be stored in the binding buffer for 21 days without obvious loss of activity. CONCLUSIONS Compared with antibody-based piezoelectric sensor, aptamer-based sensor has lower cost, more regeneration cycles and longer time for the storage of chips. This series of experiments shows the superiority of aptamer detection.

OBJECTIVE To establish an aptamer-based piezoelectric sensor assay to detect human immunoglobulin E (IgE) and acquire the parameters about this kind of biosensor. METHODS Anti-IgE aptamers were immobilized on the gold surface of piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor with biotin-avidin method. The reaction between anti-IgE aptamers and IgE was monitored in time on piezoelectric sensor. Different concentrations of IgE were detected and the calibration curve of IgE was drawn. Non-specific response signals of BSA, IgG and IgE were monitored to show the detecting specificity of aptamer-based sensor. RESULTS For the aptamer-based sensor, the lowest limit of detection was 0.055mg/L and the linear range was 0.1-2.5mg/L. Non-specific signals of this sensor were less than 5% of specific signals of IgE at the same concentration. CONCLUSIONS The aptamer-based piezoelectric sensor can detect 5.5 ng IgE while the non-specific signals are very low. So this aptamer-based sensor is hopeful to be applied to clinical laboratory diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the major reasons of wound infection after external fixator application and then introduce management measures to prevent following wound infections. METHODS Totally 542 patients adopting external fixators between May 2005 and May 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. All the external fixator-related infections were inspected and the excretions from these infected wounds were collected to perform bacterial culturing. RESULTS The total infection rate of these 542 patients after external fixator application was 2.77%. Among them, six were infected with the bacteria in distraction osteogenesis group and the infection rate was 8.82%; three were infected in bone un-union and bone defect group and the infection rate was 5.36%; whilest the common fracture-fixing group got the lowest infection rate of 0.39%. CONCLUSIONS Wire-crossing positions are the most frequently infected sites after external fixation and the drug-resisted bacteria are the most commonly detected pathogens. Thus, increasing the stability of fixators, enhancing the infection supervision of operation environment, draining the wound thoroughly and using antibiotics rationally are the most effective managing measures to prevent external fixator-related infections in orthopedics.
