Objective To evaluate the clinical experience and skills of laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a balloon dissection in order to spread and popularize this kind of operation.MethodsUnder general anesthesia,32 patients(42 sides)with inguinal hernias were repaired by laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a dissection balloon from August 2005 to December 2007.ResultsAll of operations were successfully performed.The operative time was 60-120 minutes,the blood loss was 20-60 ml,and the length of postoperative hospitalization was 3 days.All cases were followed up for 8 to 18 months and found no recurrence.ConclusionLaparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair with non-stapling of mesh and without using a balloon dissection is feasible,reliable and effective,offering a low recurrence rate,while its price is higher than tension-free herniorrhaphy by traditional method.

Objective To construct and identify the screening vector pUC18-EGFP,using EGFP as an indicator. Methods The EGFP gene was prepared by PCR and cloned into pUC18 resulting the vector pUC18-EGFP. Then DNA fragment was inserted into the MCS of pUC18-EGFP to test its practicability based on green fluorescence. Results The pUC18-EGFP was confirmed correctly by restriction enzyme analyses. The pUC18-EGFP was used to select recombinants. The green strains on the plate were confirmed by restriction enzyme and DNA analyses,which were E.coli harboring recombinants. Conclusion The screening vector PUCl8-EGFP was constructed successfully. Thus,we can select the positive clones on plates based on the green fluorescence of EGFP.

Objective To investigate the relationship between different topographic locations and neurological deteriorations (ND) in patients with acute new isolated pontine infarction.Methods One hundred sixty-eight patients with acute new isolated pontine infarction during arch 2012 to March 2016 were identified by diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for retrospective review.Patients were divided into two groups according to their clinical symptoms:patients with ND and patients without ND.According to neuroimaging of DWI,the topographic location of pontine infarction was divided into three types:The upper,middle,and lower ones,and the correlations of ND with risk factors,laboratory examination results,clinical manifestations and different topographic locations were explored by statistical tests.Results Of 168 patients,26.8％ (45/168) were diagnosed with ND,and 73.2％ (123/168) were diagnosed without ND.Univariate analysis showed that there were differences in female ratio [62.2％ (28/45) vs 41.5％ (51/ 123)],smoking ratio [13.3％ (6/45) vs 26.0％ (32/123)],mean length of hospital stay [(22.83 ± 7.12)d vs (19.31 ± 7.65)d],ratio of worse short-term clinical outcomes [77.8％ (35/45) vs 33.3％ (41/123)],and ratio of lower pontine infarction [55.6％ (25/45) vs 26.0％ (32/123)] between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that lower pontine infarction was the independent risk factor of ND (OR =1.953,95％ CI:1.092-3.535,P =0.029).Conclusions Topographic location of lower pons lesions may be reliable predictor of ND in acute new isolated pontine infarction.

Objective To investigate the diffevential diagnostic value of preinvasive and invasive lung adenocarcinoma (including minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and invasive adenocarcinoma) presented as pure ground-glass nodules(pGGN) by CT.Methods One hundred and fifty-six cases of pGGN verified by operative pathology were retrospectively analyzed,including 58 ca ses of preinvasive adenocarcinoma and 98 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma(TNM staging were T1N0M0).The CT features and sex were statistically processed.The difference between the CT features and sex were performed by thex2 test.The ROC curve of lesion focus size was drawn.Results Statistically significant differences were found in the lesion shape,vacuole sign,air bronchogram,blood vessel through,tumor-lung interface and vascular cluster sign between the two groups(all P＜0.05).The ROC curve showed that the accuracy rate of invasive adenocarcinoma was 75.0％ when the size of the pGGN lesions was larger than 15.35 mm.Conclusion The lesion size,shape,vacuole sign,air bronchogram,blood vessels through and vascular cluster sign have some predictive value.

Objective To analyze the correlation between clinical features and renal dysfunction in patients of acute lacunar infarction with progressive cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). Methods Two hundred and sixty-five patients with first-episode acute lacunar infarction were selected. The serum creatinine was measured within 24 h of admission and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated. The brain MRI (including gradient-echo images) was examined within 2 d of admission and after 1 years of follow-up, respectively. The progressive CMBs was assessed with microbleeds anatomical rating scale (MARS), and the patients were divided into progressive CMBs group (progressive group, 42 cases) and non progressive CMBs group (non progressive group, 223 cases). The clinical features of 2 groups were compared and the correlation between progressive CMBs and renal dysfunction was analyzed. Results The age, 24 h pulse pressure, incidences of renal dysfunction and CMBs in progressive group were significantly higher than those in non progressive group: (69.8 ± 5.8) years vs. (61.5 ± 4.9) years, (63.3 ± 3.1) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (51.8 ± 4.2) mmHg, 69.0％(29/42) vs. 39.9％(89/223) and 57.1％(24/42) vs. 25.1％(56/223), and the platelet was significantly lower than that in non-progression group:(168 ± 35) ×109/L vs. (189 ± 40) ×109/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or<0.01). The Logistic regression analysis result showed that renal dysfunction and CMBs were Independent risk factors of progressive CMBs (OR = 1.571 and 1.054, 95％ CI 1.042 - 2.493 and 1.010 - 1.142, P<0.05). Conclusions The rate of renal dysfunction is higher in patients of acute lacunar infarction with progressive CMBs, and progressive CMBs are associated with renal dysfunction.

Objective To explore the characteristics of respiratory parameters in patients with different body mass index during general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. Methods 102 patients scheduled for otitis me-dia surgery were divided into low weight group(B1,n=32),normal weight group(B2,n=36)and overweight or obese group(B3,n = 34 ). After general anesthesia with tracheal intubation,the tidal volume of anesthetic ma-chine wasadjusted to maintain the end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure between 35 - 45 mmHg. At 10 min (T1),30min(T2)and 60 min(T3)after adjustment,arterial PH,arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arte-rial carbon dioxide pressure(PaCO2),inspiratory tidal volume(VTi),expiratory tidal volume(VTe),end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure(PETCO2),peak airway pressure(Ppeak),plateau airway pressure(Pplat)and dy-namic lung compliance(Cdyn)were recorded. Results PH and PaO2 were not significantly different at T1-3 among the three groups(P>0.05). As compared with group B1 and B2,PaCO2 was lower in group B3. In comparison with group B2,VTi,VTe and Cdyn were higher in group B1 and lower in group B3(P < 0.05). Ppeak and Pplat were lower in group B1 but higher in group B3(P<0.05). PETCO2 was higher in group B1(P>0.05)while lower in group B3 (P < 0.05). Conclusions With the increase in BMI during general anesthesia with tracheal intubation ,the VTi,VTe,Cdyn,PETCO2 and PaCO2 decrease significantly,but Ppeak and Pplat elevate markedly. BMI is a refer-ence index for setting respiratory parameters.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of patient diagnosed with Niemaoh-Pick disease being pregnant after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of one case of type B Niemaoh-Pick disease being pregnant after liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Results The patient successfully underwent liver transplantation combined with splenic artery ligation on July 8, 2011. She was well recovered postoperatively. After surgery, she received conventional anti-rejection treatment, and gradually switched to use of tacrolimus at a dosage of 2.5 mg/d. The serum drug concentration was maintained at 2 ng/mL. In September 2015, she was successfully pregnant. On June 2, 2016, she delivered a male infant through cesarean section. She could breastfeed the infant in a low quantity early after delivery. Both the mother and infant were followed up until submission date. The mother was physically stable and the infant grew normally.
