OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of human serum albumin for surgical inpatients. METHODS:The utilization of human serum albumin for surgical inpatients in a hospital during Jan.-Mar. 2014 was analyzed and evaluated by UHC Guidelines for the Use of Album,Nonprotein Colloid,and Crystalloid Solutions(2010 edition)and European Immune Globu-lin and Albumin Use Recommendation. RESULTS:Among the 556 patients,totally 895 human serum albumin application were con-ducted,mainly involving development of gastrointestinal surgery(29.7%),hepatobiliary surgery(25.9%)and cardiothoracic sur-gery(13.1%). The main reasons were correcting hypoalbuminemia(62.9%),followed by albumin supplemented during major sur-gery(7.9%)and alleviating ascites in patients with cirrhosis(4.4%);only 95 applications(10.6%)were considered appropriate. The most prevalent inappropriate reason was for correcting hypoalbuminemia. CONCLUSIONS:Human serum albumin in the surgi-cal inpatients in the hospital shows a large amount,and low consistent rate between indications and guidelines. The rational stan-dardized utilization of human serum albumin should be strengthened.

Objective To observe the pathologic changes of ganglion cell and nerve plexus in internal anus sphincter of rats with congenital anorectal malformations (ARM).Methods Healthy and pregnant Wistar-Imammichi rats were induced to ARM by ethylene thiourea (ETU). There were 67 rats with ARM at all. The pelvis was continuously cut from the exactly midsagittal plane. The HE staining was performed, and the numbers of the ganglion cell and nerve plexus in the internal anus sphincter were observed under the microscope.Results The average numbers of the ganglion cell and nerve pluxes in the ARM embryos were (1.206±0.012) and (0.308±0.051). Those of the normal control embryos were (3.710±0.043) and (1.227±0.072) respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups ( P<0.05~0.01). While, those of the embryos without ARM which dealt with ETU were (3.012±0.032) and (1.187±0.004) respectively, didn't differ from the normal control embryos.Conclusion The decrease of the ganglion cell and the nerve plexus in internal anus sphincter is an important pathologic change of ARM.

Objective To compare the treatment effects between lymphatic chemotherapy and regional extended release chemotherapy (RERC) for rectal cancer lymph node metastasis. Methods The lymph nodes at or beside colon (first station), beside (second station) and at the root of mesentery blood vessel (third station) of the patients with rectal cancer in control group (20 cases), lymphatic chemotherapy group (20 cases) and RERC group (20 cases) were removed to compare proliferation index (PI), apoptotic index (AI) and AL/PI of cancer cells in the lymph nodes. Results The PI, AI, and AI/PI of cancer cells in correspondent lymph nodes were not statistically different between lymphatic chemotherapy group and the other 2 groups (F=4.973-7.394, 5.372-8.694, 4.527-5.436, P<0.05; t=3.128-7.688, 3.388-9.615, 6.518-13.180, P<0.05). The PI, AI, and AI/PI of cancer cells in the first and second station lymph nodes in RERC group were significantly different from those in control group (t=5.103, 4.927; 6.938, 6.450; 8.839, 9.021; P<0.05), and from those in the third station lymph nodes in RERC group (F=6.572, 8.964, 5.845, P<0.05; t=3.505, 3.353; 5.397, 4.701; 9.039, 8.629; P<0.05). Sorted by the treatment effects for cancer cells in lymph nodes, the first is each station of the lymphatic chemotherapy group, followed by the first and second station of the RERC group, and then the third station of the RERC group which was almost equal to any station of the control group. Conclusion Lymphatic chemotherapy is better than RERC in the treatment of rectal lymph node metastasis in the aspect of scale and degree.
