Objective To explore the nursing care for complications of children with complex renal calculus who receive minimally invnsive percutaneous nephrolithotomy lithotripsy treatment.Methods Children who received routine minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy hthotripsy treatment for complex renal calculus from February 2008 to April 29,2011 and 30 cases who received conventional open surgery from February 2005 to 2008 were divided into the observation group and the control group,respectively.Postoperative hospital stay,hospital costs and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results Hospital stay in observation group was(12.80 ± 2.60)d,and(18.25 ± 3.34)d in control group; there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(t =10.32,P < 0.05).Hospital costs in observation group was(13 924.9 ± 340.3)yuan,and(15 510.4 ± 509.3)yuan in control group,the difference was obvious(t =13.20,P < 0.05)between the two groups.the incidence of postoperative complications was 10.3% and 40.0% in observation group and in control group,respectively,there was significant difference(x2 =6.60,P < 0.05).Conclusions Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy was better than traditional open surgery in terms of dealing with children with complex stone stones,close observation,careful and meticulous care and more records,more communication can help reduce the number of hospital stay,hospital costs and the incidence of postoperative infectious complications,etc.It is good for the rehabilitation of patients and improvement of the quality of care.

Objective To investigate the minimally invasive treatment of complex renal calculi nursing.Methods Retrospective analysis,from February 2009 to January 2011,50 regular channels percutaneous nephrolithotomy nephrostomy lithotomy patients(observation group)and from January 2007 to January 2009,the traditional opening of the regular 50 surgical treatment of complex renal calculi patients(control group)were selected,and length of stay,hospital costs,complications such as postoperative infection and other indicators were observed between the two groups.Results Successful rate of percutaneous nephrostomy large channel lithotomy in the observation group were 100%.Days in hospital(t =2.95,P <0.05),costs(t =11.68,P <0.05)and complication rate after operation(x2 =6.25,P < 0.05)were significantly different between the two groups.Conclusions Comprehensive patient evaluation and preoperative psychological communication,close observation and meticulous condition postoperative care,help to promote patient recovery and improve the quality of care.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effects of Yuyin Ruangan Decoction(YRD, traditional Chinese medicine) on experimental hepatic injury in mice.
METHODSThe mice were randomly divided into control group, model group and YRD low, middle and high dose group(n = 11). By ip injection of D-GalN, CCk or thioacetamide (TAA), three models of hepatic injury mice were established to investigate the effects of YRD through detecting the indexes of liver function in serum and, the content of antioxidant system in the hepatic tissue.
RESULTSYRD could decrease the content of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum and that of malonaldehyde (MDA) in the hepatic tissue, upregulate the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the hepatic tissue. Furthermore, the above effects were dosedependent in a certain degree. CoNCLUSION: YRD has some protection effects on the model of experimental hepatic injury in mouse.

7.Unusual Features in an Adult Pancreatic Hemangioma: CT and MRI Demonstration.
Korean Journal of Radiology 2013;14(5):781-785
Hemangiomas in the pancreas are very rare and only a few cases in adulthood have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of pancreatic hemangiomas in an adult with unique imaging findings. A 23-year-old woman visited the hospital for an incidentally detected pancreatic mass. CT and MRI revealed a multilocular cyst with fluid-fluid levels and no obvious enhancement. The patient underwent surgery and the mass was confirmed as a pancreatic hemangioma. The radiological features and differential diagnosis of this rare lesion are discussed.

Objective: To determine protein binding characteri stic and signal transmission pathway of melatonin(Mel) receptor(MR) in human e mbryonic peripheral organ tissues. Methods: MR was measured by radio ligand-binding assay and the effect of GTPγS on melatonin specific bindi ng was studied. Results: Mel specific binding sites were det ermined in 16 kinds of human embryonic tissue and this binding could be inhibit ed by GTPγS, supporting the theory that MR is coupled to inhibitory G-proteins system. Conclusion: MR is measured in human embryo tissue, the se results provide experimental data for elucidating the mechanism of the effect of Mel.

Objective:investigate the effect of β-caryophyllene(BCP)on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(CIR)injury in mice.Methods: Mice were subjected to CIR with or without BCP(62,124,248 mg/kg).At 24 h of reperfusion,ischemic degrees were determined according to neurologic dysfunction score and cerebral infarct volume.The protein expression of Toll-like receptor(TLR)4 was measured by Western blot.Nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)p65 were measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.IL-1β,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and serum high-mobility group box 1(HMGB1)levels were measured by ELISA kit.Results: Compared to the CIR group,BCP(248 mg/kg)reduced the neurological score and cerebral infarct volume.BCP reduced neuronal death in mice brain subjected to cerebral I/R.In addition,BCP also inhibited the activation of NF-κB pathway and decreased increases in TLR4,HMGB1,TNF-α,IL-1β levels by CIR(P<0.01).Conclusion: BCP protects mice brain against CIR injury,its neuroprotective mechanisms may involves HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway.
