Objective To investigate the clinical value of combined general and gynecological laparoscopy.Methods From March 2003 to December 2006,160 patients with abdominal and gynecological diseases were treated with laparoscopy,including laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)+ salpingostomy in 20,LC + ovarian cystectomy in 24 cases,LC + hysteromyomectomy in 12,LC + hysteromyomectomy and uterine artery blockage in 7,LC + subtotal hysterectomy in 19,LC + total hysterectomy in 11,LC + treatment of endometriosis in 6,laparoscopic appendectomy(LA)+ salpingostomy in 16,LA + ovarian cystectomy in 22,LA + subtotal hysterectomy and total hysterectomy in 18,decortication of liver cysts + ovarian cystectomy in 4,and laparoscopic hepatectomy + adnexectomy in 1.Results Laparoscopic procedures were completed in all the 160 cases without conversion to open surgery.The operation time ranged from 40 to 220 min(mean,120 min),and postoperative hospital stay ranged from 1 to 6 days(mean,3.4 days).No patient had perioperative complications.Among the 160 cases,143 were followed up for 3 to 24 months(mean,19.5),during which 1 developed vaginal stump hemorrhage 10 days after the operation and was cured by conservative therapy,1 experienced vaginal polypi at the stump 2 months postoperation and underwent polyp resection.Conclusions Combined general and gynecological laparoscopy is a promising method for patients with abdominal diseases complicated with gynecological diseases.It is important for surgeons from different departments to deeply understand the indications of laparoscopy,prepare well before operation,and cooperate closely.

As an advanced conformal therapy, Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can increase the gain ratio of radiotherapy and improve the local control of the tumor. This paper applies genetic algorithm to optimization of IMRT inverse planning. The algorithm model and simulation result are introduced.

The bionic optic nerve can mimic human visual physiology and is a future treatment for visual disorders. Photosynaptic devices could respond to light stimuli and mimic normal optic nerve function. By modifying (Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythio-phene):poly (styrenesulfonate)) active layers with all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots, with an aqueous solution as the dielectric layer in this paper, we developed a photosynaptic device based on an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT). The optical switching response time of OECT was 3.7 s. To improve the optical response of the device, a 365 nm, 300 mW·cm ^-2 UV light source was used. Basic synaptic behaviors such as postsynaptic currents (0.225 mA) at a light pulse duration of 4 s and double pulse facilitation at a light pulse duration of 1 s and pulse interval of 1 s were simulated. By changing the way light stimulates, for example, by adjusting the intensity of the light pulses from 180 to 540 mW·cm ^-2, the duration from 1 to 20 s, and the number of light pulses from 1 to 20, the postsynaptic currents were increased by 0.350 mA, 0.420 mA, and 0.466 mA, respectively. As such, we realized the effective shift from short-term synaptic plasticity (100 s recovery of initial value) to long-term synaptic plasticity (84.3% of 250 s decay maximum). This optical synapse has a high potential for simulating the human optic nerve.
