Objective To investigate the learning curve of laparoscopy-assisted anorectoplasty in the treatment of high imperforate anus.Methods Sixty patients with high congenital anal atresia who were treated with laparoscopy-assisted anorectoplasty in the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from December 2008 to October 2015 by one experience surgeon were selected as observation group.Based on the criteria,the patients were divided into 4 groups(15 cases in each group) according to the sequence of the operation and every 15 cases served as a learning phase.The operating time,frequency of operation,complication rate,conversion rate to open surgery,blood loss,the rates of blood transfusion and hospital stay were compared among the 4 phases.Results The mean operation duration was (176.3 ±41.6) min,(128.8 ± 36.1) min,(127.3 ± 35.2) min,(124.0 ± 30.1) min in group A,B,C and D,respectively.The operation duration of 4 groups showed a declining trend.Group A has longer operation time than group B,C and D,the difference were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In detail,the comparison of operation time between group A and group B was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore,group A had significantly more median blood loss than group B,C and D,the differences were statistically significant [the 4 groups of data,respectively,group A:(17.5 ±6.5) mL,group B:(15.0±5.0) mL,group C:(14.5 ±5.5) mL,group D:(8.5 ±6.5) mL,P＜0.05].The mean capacity of blood loss was 12.7 mL.No significant difference was found in surgical complications,the rates of blood transfusion,total hospital stay,and postoperative hospital stay among the 4 groups(P ＞ 0.05).But the postoperative hospital stay decreased from 9.8 d (group A) to 7.4 d (group D).Conclusions For a well-trained surgeon in imperforate anus surgery.The learning curve of laparoscopy-assisted anorectoplasty in the treatment of high imperforate anus on about 15 cases helps to make a skillful surgeon.

To evaluate the properties of solidifying volatile oil with graphene oxide, clove oil and zedoary turmeric oil were solidified by graphene oxide. The amount of graphene oxide was optimized with the eugenol yield and curcumol yield as criteria. Curing powder was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of graphene oxide on dissolution in vitro and thermal stability of active components were studied. The optimum solidification ratio of graphene oxide to volatile oil was 1:1. Dissolution rate of active components had rare influence while their thermal stability improved after volatile oil was solidified. Solidifying herbal volatile oil with graphene oxide deserves further study.

Drug reservation wag investigated in 2077 community residents.We found that most drugs were obtained from the hospitals(83.78%),kept at a relatively lower place(69.23%),packed in box(75.25%),and did not meet the storage requirement(72.60%).Half of the overdue drugs(median time,12 months)were used for internal treatment.This study suggests that there might be unsafe drug storage in communities.

Objective To study the function of core protein (CORE) of genotype 1b hepatitis C virus (HCV) of different strains (T: derived from tumor tissues; NT: derived from non-tumor tissues; C191: HCV-J6) and different domains (1-172, 1-126, 1-58, 59-126, 127-172 AA) of T CORE in the pathogenesis of HCV infection and to find the therapy target. Methods Different truncated genotype 1b HCV CORE eukaryotic expression plasmids (T, NT, C191) and different domains of T CORE were constructed and transfected to HepG2 cells. Cell apoptosis and necrosis were quantified by flow cytometry. Cell growth curves were observed with real time cell growth instrument. Results COREs from different strains of genotype 1b and different domains of CORE induced cell apoptosis and necrosis, and inhibited HepG2 cell growth at different levels. CORE derived from T induced apoptosis and necrosis and inhibited cell growth higher than that derived NT and C191. N terminal 1-58 AA of CORE derived from T induced cell apoptosis and necrosis and inhibited cell growth higher than any other domains. Conclusion COREs from different strains of genotype 1b HCV and different domains of CORE from the same HCV strain play different roles in their molecular pathogenesis of HCV. Among different domains of CORE, N terminal 1-58 AA might play an important role in its pathogenesis and be one target of gene therapy.

Objective To investigate the construction and implementation of the concept of precise sequential therapy for primary liver cancer.Methods The clinical data of 207 patients with resectable liver cancer who were admitted to the Air Force General Hospital from May 2005 to June 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Of all the patients,81 received conventional therapy (conventional therapy group),and the other 126 patients received precise sequential therapy (precise sequential therapy group).The conditions of the patients in perioperative phase,during postoperative sequential treatment and the period of follow-up between the 2 groups were compared.All data were analyzed by using the covariance analysis,analysis of variance,chi-square test or rank sum test.Results The detection rates of lesions with a diameter less than 1 cm,operation time,liver resection volume,intraoperative blood loss,rate of perioperative blood transfusion,duration of postoperative hospital stay,incidences of postoperative complications were 81％ (22/27),( 186 ± 36) minutes,(75 ± 29) ml,( 189 ± 60) ml,24％(30/126),(21 ± 12)days and 13％ (17/126) in the precise sequential therapy group,and 18％ (2/11),(222 ± 30)minutes,(133 ±88)ml,(327 ±46)ml,51％ (41/81),(26 ± 17)days and 20％ (16/81) in the conventional therapy group,respectively,with significant differences between the 2 groups (F =10.876,7.390,46.996,31.025,14.556,6.315,4.017,P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference was observed on the levels of alanine transaminase,albumin and the Child-Pugh score before and after the intervention in the precise sequential therapy group,but significant differences were observed in the conventional therapy group.The 1-,2-,3-year tumor recurrence rates and the 1-,2-,3-year survival rates were 17％ (21/126),22％ (17/76),26％ (8/31) and 87％ (110/126),87％ (66/76),84％ (26/31) in the precise sequential therapy group,and 31％ (25/81),38％ (27/71),48％(31/65 ) and 77％ (62/81),75％ (53/71 ) and 60％ (39/65) in the conventional therapy group,respectively.There were significant differences in the prognosis of the patients in the 2 groups ( x2 =4.958,4.292,4.168,4.062,3.640,5.470,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Through accurate assessment of the patients' condition before surgery,precise hepatectomy and precise postoperative intervention,the goal of effective control of tumor recurrence,maximum protection of the liver function and improvement of the survival rate can be achieved.

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture on Akt2 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle of insulin resistant rat models. Methods: Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and an acupuncture group. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), insulin sensitivity index (ISI), C peptide (C-P), as well as Akt2 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle of rats were detected by glucose oxidase method, ELISA and real-time PCR. Results: Compared with the control group, the level of FPG, FINS and C-P increased significantly (P<0.01) while ISI and Akt2 mRNA expression decreased markedly in the model group (P<0.01, P<0.05). In the acupuncture group, the levels of FPG, FINS and C-P were much lower than in the model group (P<0.01, P<0.01,P<0.05) and ISI and Akt2 mRNA expression increased markedly (P<0.01). Conclusion: The mechanism of acupuncture in treating insulin resistance may relate to the up-regulated of the Akt2 mRNA expression and to the improvement of the signal transduction of PI3K pathway.

In order to evaluate the characteristic of porous starch (PS) as the solid dispersions carrier of the total Epimedium flavonoids (TEF), the PS was used. The dissolution of icariin was selected as an indicator to analyze the differences of dissolution between TEF and its solid dispersion. TEF was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Solid dispersion was irregular block and no powder characteristics of TEF and PS could be seen in SEM, DSC and XRD analysis suggested that TEF may be present in solid dispersion as amorphous substance. The dissolution rate of icariin has been improved significantly when the proportion of TEF and PS was 1:2. PS as a traditional solid dispersion carrier is worthy of further study.
