Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy of Millikan's modified modality using tension-free mesh-plug inguinal herniorrhaphy. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 185 cases with in-guinal hernias. They received surgical treatment using Millikan's modality in our hospital from Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2006. Results There were 184 males and 1 female in these patients with a average age of 47 years ( range 32 - 75 years). Among them, 7 cases had bilateral hernia. The mean operative time of each hernia was 49 min (range 30 -70 min), and the average postoperative hospital stay was 5. 1 days (range 3 - 18 d). The complication rate was 10. 8% (20/185). All patients had no recurrence after following-up over 24 months. Conclusion Millikan's modified mesh-plug hemioplasty is a safe and effective modality in the pri-mary inguinal hernia repair, and has fewer complications and lower recurrence rate.

Objective To compare the difference of the Cif gene expression and the inflammation markers (such as WBC and CRP et al)between mucoid and non-mucoid Pseudonmonasaeruginosa,combining with the clinical data.Methods Real-time RT-PCR was used to determine the expression level of Cif in Pseudonmonas aeruginosa and clinical data were collected to discuss the relationship among the number of WBC,the level of CRP and the Cif gene expression.Results The expression level of Cif gene in mucoid Pseudonmonas aeruginosa had a significantly higher than the non-mucoid Pseudonmonas aerugi-nosa,which was statistically significant (t=2.09,P<0.05).Specimen data collected from patients with the infection of mu-coid or non-mucoid Pseudonmonas aeruginosa showed that the number of WBC and the level of CRP were not significantly different (t=0.65,0.60,P>0.05).The data also showed that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator in-hibitory factor (Cif)gene expression level had little correlation with the number of WBC (a=0.095,R2=0.029).Conclusion The expression of Cif gene may works for the biofilm formation of mucoid Pseudonmonas aeruginosa,which maybe a new virulence factor to Pseudonmonas aeruginosa.

This study was aimed to establish a fast determination method of main components in honey. Honey samples from difference production bases were used as study objects. Transmission and reflection spectra of different honey samples were collected with the Fourier transform near infrared spectrometer. The main components in honey (moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content) were detected by the near infrared quantitative analysis technique. The near infrared quantitative analysis models of moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content in honey were established by the partial least squares (PLS). The results showed that the correlation coefficient (r) of the moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content in honey were 0.997 25, 0.973 90, 0.927 94 and 0.952 68, respectively. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.165 (%), 0.564 (%), 1.300 (%) and 1.270 (%), respectively. It was concluded that determination of main components in honey by the near-infrared spectroscopy technology was a fast and nondestructive determination method with high accuracy, which can be used in the quantitative detection of main components in honey.

Objective To systematically evaluate the consistency of sensitivity (SEN) and specificity (SPE) between positron-emission tomography (PET) /magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymphoma.Methods The databases,including PubMed,Cochrane Library,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM),CNKI,Wanfang and VIP,were retrieved till October 2016.The studies published the SEN and SPE of PET/MRI and PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymphoma were collected and selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria by two reviewers independently.Then,data extraction and analysis were performed by two independent reviewers.Resnlts A total of 6 studies,including 221 cases of patients with lymphoma,wereincluded.Among the 6 studies,4 of them provided patients-based and site-based data (including one provided data about staging ofdisease),and 2 studies only provided site-based data (including one provided data about staging of disease).The results indicated thatboth PET/MRI and PET/CT can accurately detect the lesions in patients with lymphoma,and the locations and numbers of lesions found bythe two methods were almost the same.Additionally,PET/MRI and PET/CT had high SEN and SPE for detection of lesions in patientswith lymphoma.and had high consistency in the diagnosis of lymphoma.Condusion The SEN and SPE of PET/MRI were similar to those of PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymphoma.PET/MRI may become a significant method for diagnosing lymphoma.

Objective To evaluate the effect of applying emergency care simulator (ECS)on cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill training. Methods Clinical doctors and nurses(n=1 472)received the skill training of unarmed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),electric defibrillation and tracheal intubation by using simple CPR simulator (n=667)or ECS (n=805)respectively. After training,the examination was carried out and questionnaires were handed out. The completion time of operations, the scores and pass rates of examinations,the evaluations of training methods were compared between the two groups. The statistical data were analyzed by t(t')-test or Chi-square test with SPSS 19.0 and P <0.05 was considered as the criterion of significance. Results Compared with those of group using simple CPR simulator,the group using ECS showed obviously shortened completion time((309±125)s vs. (242±61)s,t'=12.65,P=0.00;(87±36)s vs. (55±31)s,t'=20.28,P=0.00;(239±87)s vs. (145±53),t'=24.4,P=0.00),significantly increased scores ((83.5±14.8)vs. (90.2±17.6), t'=7.93,P=0.00;(84.7±19.3)vs. (92.1±21.5),t'=6.95,P=0.00;(81.6±15.3)vs. (89.6±13.5), t'=10.53,P=0.00)and pass rates of examinations (84.1%(561/667)vs. 92.5%(745/805),χ2=25.96, P<0.01;82.2%(548/667)vs. 91.2%(734/805),χ2=26.41,P<0.01;80.8%(539/667)vs. 91.4%(736/805),χ2=35.48,P<0.01)as well as higher evaluation of training methods. Conclusions Application of ECS can obviously improve the training effect of CPR and it can be widely popularized in the edu-cation and training of emergency medicine skills.

Objective To study the clinical value of DSA diagnosis and interventional therapy for non-neoplastic lower digestive tract hemorrhage. Methods Non-neoplastic lower digestive tract hemorrhage were diagnosed in 21 patients. Eight cases underwent embolization with gelfoam and 13 cases with infusion of pitressin. Results Intestinal angiodysplasia was found in 14 cases, colonic diverticulum in 2 and hemorrhage of unknown cause in 5. Hemorrhage in all patients was stopped after the interventional therapy with no serious complications. During the follow-up of 25～74 months, intestinal angiodysplasia bleeding recurred in 4 patients. Conclusions DSA is very helpful in the diagnosis of non-neoplastic lower digestive tract hemorrhage and interventional therapy is safe and effective for the stoppage of the bleeding.

Objective To study the effect of early enteral nutrition on stress ulcer in patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Methods 134 patients with severe craniocerebral injury were randomly divided into two groups,the early enteral nutrition group (the EEN group,69 cases) was given nasogastric intubation feeding after hospitalization or within 24 hours postoperation,the delayed enteral nutrition group (the DEN group,65 cases) was given nasogastric intubation feeding 24 hours postoperation.The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in two groups were compared.Results The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the EEN group was significantly lower than that of the DEN group.Conclusions Patients with severe brain injury should be given enteral nutrition as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of stress ulcer and prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
