Objective To inquire into the value of Liechtenstein Hernioplasty in the therapy of oblique or direct hernia.Method Liechtenstein was used in the therapy of 163 cases of oblique hernia (154 cases) and direct hernia (9 cases) from Feb.1998 to Jun.2001 and the clinical data was retrospectively studied.Most of them are of onset hernia except 8 cases of recurrent hernia.In 148 cases,the diameter of hernia ring is less than 2.5 cm and 30.1% of patients are elder than 65.The emergent operation was adopted in 12 cases.Results Off-bed exercises can be admitted at early stage of postoperation with slight pain and no local tension.Total recovery was obtained in 5-10 days after operation.After 6-36 months' follow-up,no mortality and less recurrence was detected.Conclusions There are so many advantages to treat oblique or direct hernia with Liechtenstein, such as minimized trauma, accelerated recovery,low recurrence rate and low cost. The indication of this operation involved all kinds of hernia (onset or recurrence of oblique or direct hernia,emergent operation of incarcerated oblique hernia, etc).

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effectiveness of Qilin Pills combined with sertraline in the treatment of secondary non-consolidated kidney qi premature ejaculation (PE).

METHODSA total of 120 patients with secondary non-consolidated kidney qi PE were randomly assigned to groups A (aged [35.5 ± 5.4] yr), B (aged [36.2 ± 5.7] yr), and C (aged [35.2 ± 5.3] yr) in the ratio of 1:1:1 to receive Qilin Pills (once 6 g, bid), sertraline (once 50 mg, qd), and Qilin Pills plus sertraline, respectively, all for 4 weeks. The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and PE diagnostic tool (PEDT) scores were obtained before and after medication and at 1 month after drug withdrawal, and comparative analyses were made among the three groups of patients.

RESULTSThe IELT was dramatically prolonged in groups A, B, and C after treatment ([3.23 ± 1.84], [3.87 ± 2.43], and [5.92 ± 3.11] min) and at 1 month after drug withdrawal ([1.85 ± 1.27], [1.52 ± 1.06], and [ 4.26 ± 1.88 ] min) as compared with the baseline ([0.88 ± 0.45], [0.84 ± 0.47], and [0.85 ± 0.50] min) (P < 0.01), even longer in group C than in A and B (P < 0.01). The PEDT scores of the three groups were 5.1 ± 1.8, 4.9 ± 1.7, and 3.8 ± 1.2 after treatment and 8.2 ± 2.4, 8.1 ± 2.4, and 6.5 ± 2.1 at 1 month after drug withdrawal, significantly improved in comparison with 13.2 ± 3.2, 12.8 ± 3.1, and 13.1 ± 3.4 before treatment (P < 0.01), even more significantly in group C than in A and B (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONQilin Pills combined with sertraline has a definite efficacy in the treatment of secondary non-consolidated kidney qi PE and therefore deserves wide clinical application.

Objective:To explore the effect of dialysis pipeline nursing group mode combined with predictive nursing measures on hemodialysis efficacy of diabetic nephropathy patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:A total of 96 patients with MHD of diabetic nephropathy admitted to No. 904 Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army from January 2015 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects and divided into control group and observation group, 48 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with routine dialysis pipeline and other hemodialysis nursing interventions, while patients in the observation group were treated with predictive nursing measures on this basis. The biochemical indexes, psychological state, compliance, incidence of nosocomial infection and complications and nursing satisfaction of the two groups before and after intervention were compared.Results:After the nursing intervention, the blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and β2 microglobulin (β2-MG) of the two groups of patients were lower than those before the intervention, and the BUN of the observation group after the intervention, Cr and β2-MG were (12.04±1.98) mmol/L, (451.62±82.49) μmol/L, (13.53±2.31) mg/L, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (15.82±2.31) mmol/L, (591.35±99.21) μmol/L, (18.83±2.92) mg/L, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 8.608, 7.503, 9.862, P<0.05). After the intervention, the scores of the treatment compliance subscales of the observation group were 29.06±3.58, 23.42±2.99, 20.11±3.01, 14.76±2.94, which were higher than those of the control group (31.91±3.97, 21.53±3.21, 17.03±2.74, 12.36±3.04), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.985-3.932, P<0.05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were lower than those before the intervention, and the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group after intervention were 39.12±4.82 and 36.43±6.03, which were lower than those of the control group 48.25±5.14, 46.75±5.36, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 8.997, 8.862, P<0.05). The incidence of nosocomial infections and complications in the observation group were 2.08% (1/48) and 4.17% (2/48), which were significantly lower than those in the control group, 14.58% (7/48) and 18.75% (9/48), The difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.91, 5.26, P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction degree of the observation group was 95.83% (46/48), which was higher than 72.92% (35/48) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 9.56, P<0.05). Conclusions:The dialysis pipeline combined with predictive nursing can improve the psychological state of patients, reduce the incidence of hospital infection and complications, prolong the service life of vascular access, improve the quality of life of hemodialysis patients, improve the relationship between nurses and patients, and create a harmonious atmosphere, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

The high mobility group A2 (HMGA2),one of non-histone chromatin protein,can specificly bind to AT-rich DNA sequences by its AT-hook and work as oncofetal gene and architectural transcription factor.HMGA2 expresses in almost all kinds of malignant neoplasms,which is closely related to the formation,development and poor prognosis of the neoplasms.HMGA2 plays a very important role in every biological process including cell proliferation,cell cycle,stem cell self-renewal,epithelial-mesenchymal transition and DNA damage repair.It is of great significance to study the effect and mechanism of HMGA2 in neoplasms.

Objective To determine whether the cross-sectional area (CSA)of the calf measured with MRI could stage lower ex-tremity lymphedema (LEL)secondary to gynecological cancer treatments.Methods 148 patients were enrolled in this research.116 females with unilateral LEL and 32 without LEL after gynecological cancer treatments underwent calf MRI and water displacement. Total soft tissue CSA (T),muscle CSA (M)and subcutaneous tissue CSA (S)of affected calf,and difference of T (DT),M (DM) and S (DS)between calves were obtained on MRI at mid-calf level.Volume of affected calf and difference of volume (DV)between calves were obtained by water displacement.Statistical analysis was performed to determine feasibility of MRI measurements for ac-cessing LEL.Results There were close correlations between volume and T or S of affected calf,and between DV and DT or DS of calves.The correlations of stages of LEL with T and S of affected calf as well as DT and DS were stronger than the volume of affect-ed calf and DV (P< 0.01).Multivariate analysis showed more significant differences in T and S than in volume of affected calf,and in DS than in DV between LEL stages (P< 0.05).No difference was found in volume of affected calf and in DV between stage 0 andⅠ. For staging LEL,DS showed the most profound discrimination ability among all measurable parameters.Conclusion DS of calves could be the most reliable parameter recommended for staging and early diagnosis of LEL.
