Objective To study how to reduce the complication rate of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for acute cholecystitis. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 158 cases of acute cholecystitis treated by LC from September 2001 to December 2003. Results Operations were accomplished laparoscopically in 151 cases, while conversions to open surgery were required in 7 cases (1 case of Mirizzi’s syndrome, 2 cases of gallbladder carcinoma, 1 case of cholecystoduodenal fistula, 2 cases of "ice-like" adhesions in the Calot triangle, and 1 case of common bile duct stones). Open re-exploration was performed in 1 case because of biliary leakage. Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) was successfully conducted in 10 cases, 3 of which were found common bile duct stones. Out of the 3 cases, 2 cases underwent an intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy and 1 received a conversion to open choledochotomy with T-tube drainage. Conclusions When utilizing LC for acute cholecystitis, the rate of conversion and the incidence of complication may be reduced as long as the patients were properly selected, the principles of safety were abided by, and the intraoperative cholangiography was performed routinely.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effection of the pulmonary function of patients of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with asthma which treated with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) based comprehensive treatment. METHOD: There were 50 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma whom met the study criteria. 35 cases enrolled in the tri al group, which treated with endoscopic sinus surgery, and routine perioperative tratment. Another 15 cases as control group which underwent conservative treatment. Both groups underwent the rule treatment of asthma. The main monitoring indexes, which included visual analogue scale (VAS) score, endoscopic Lund-Kennedy score, control of asthma symptoms, the pulmonary function which involved forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), the ratio of forced expiratory volume in first second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and peak expiratory flow (PEF), were measured in the patients of each groups before surgery, follow-up for 1 year and 3-year. RESULT: Our study found that the VAS score of CRS with asthma was significantly negatively correlated with FEV1 and PEF (P < 0.05), endoscopic Lund-Kennedy score was significantly negatively correlated with PEF (P < 0.05); After the trial group underwent ESS based comprehensive treatment, the improvement of VAS score and endoscopic Lund-Kennedy score of postoperative compared with preoperative and the same period in the control group were significantly (P < 0.05). The difference of the postoperative asthma control rate of trial group after 1 year and after 3 years, respectively, compared with the same period control group were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The preoperative FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF of trial group compared with preoperative were significantly (P < 0.05). Even the difference of them compared with the same period control group were significantly (P < 0.05), except the FVC in the follow-up 3 years (P = 0.088). CONCLUSION The CRS may aggravate asthma symptoms and affect negatively the pulmonary function, and poor asthma control or aggravate may exacerbate the CRS in the course of CRS with asthma patient. With ESS based on combined therapy, it can improve the condition of CRS significantly and improve the control of asthma symptoms and pulmonary function else.

OBJECTIVETo develop a quick identification method for the sun-dried and sulfur-fumigated Angelicae Sinensis Radix used by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with second derivative infrared spectroscopy.

METHODThe alcoholic and aqueous extracts of sun-dried and sulfur-fumigated Angelicae Sinensis Radix were analyzed by using FTIR, the further analysis was used by second derivative infrared spectroscopy.

RESULTThere existed differences between their infrared spectra either extracted by ethanol or water, while the distinctions were more obvious after analyzing their alcoholic and aqueous extracts through high resolution of second derivative infrared spectroscopy. Infrared spectra showed that the absorption peaks of Angelicae Sinensis Radix were significantly reduced and a new absorption peak appeared after sulfur-fumigated process in alcoholic extracts, while both of them changed markedly in the "fingerprint region" ranging from 1 000 to 400 cm(-1) in aqueous extracts. Second derivative spectra showed that the absorption peaks of sulfur-fumigated Angelicae Sinensis Radix extracted by ethanol weakened and disappeared at about 3 578 cm(-1) and 3 541 cm(-1), while both of them differed significantly from each other ranging from 1 400 to 1 200 cm(-1) as well as 800 cm(-1) to 600 cm(-1), difference also existed between them extracted by water ranging from about 3 900 to 3 850 cm(-1) and 3 800 to 3 750 cm(-1).

CONCLUSIONThe FTIS method combined with second derivative can be utilized to distinguish sun-dried and sulfur-fumigated Angelicae Sinensis Radix efficiently, conveniently and accurately, and provide a basis for identification and quality control of Angelicae Sinensis Radix.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of traffic law violations among middle school students of Hunan province and to identify the influencing factors. METHODS: Stratified sampling and cluster sampling were used to randomly select students from 96 classes of 16 middle schools. Road traffic law violations were measured through recalling the occurrence of 5 common violations in the prior year. Most of influencing factors were collected by self-designed questionnaire except for family support function and parenting that were measured by the family assessment device (FAD) and the parenting locus of control scale (PLOC), respectively. Kruskal Wallis H test and multinomial logistic regression were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The overall incidence rate of five common traffic law violations among middle school students in Hunan province fell between 16.6%-43.3%. Except for running against traffic light or not using pedestrian crossings (8.2%), students with the other 4 traffic law violations merely accounted for less 4%. The rates of students with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kinds of traffic law violations were 25.3%, 17.8%, 10.2%, 6.2% and 3.4%, respectively. Logistic regression showed that there were 3 factors (area, junior or senior high school, and single child or not), 5 factors (area, junior or senior high school, sex, single child or not, and class leader or not) and 6 factors (type of school, junior or senior high school, sex, class leader or not, family support function, and type of family education) significantly associating with the occurrence of 1, 2, and 3 or more traffic law violations, respectively. CONCLUSION Only a small proportion of students often or almost always break traffic law or break several traffic laws at the same time. Students with serious traffic law violations should be targeted by school safety education and intervention.

Peritoneal metastases (PM) are defined as the primary or secondary occurrence/progression of malignant tumor in peritoneum. PM were previously thought to be a terminal disease without effective treatment, with short survival and poor prognosis. With the change in the understanding of PM, the oncology communities regard it as a curable regional cancer metastasis, and create a comprehensive treatment technology system with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as the core, and establish professional PM treatment centers based on this. The professional PM treatment centers have significantly prolonged the survival of patients, and some patients can even achieve clinical cure. However, in China, there are very few professional PM treatment centers, but the number of PM patients is huge, and most of the patients can't receive professional treatment, resulting in poor survival and prognosis. Based on the cancer statistics in 2015 published by China National Cancer Center Registry and clinical outcome literature on peritoneal metastasis, this paper uses clinical epidemiology methodology to calculate the number of newly diagnosed patients with peritoneal metastasis, to estimate the number of specialized peritoneal cancer centers required, to provide data support for the promotion of professional treatment technology system for PM in our country, and to boost the development of peritoneal oncology.

Objective:To establish and validate an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of Aβ 1-42, Aβ 1-40, and Aβ 1-38 in cerebrospinal fluid. Additionally, the consistency between this method and three mainstream detection methods was evaluated.Methods:This study involved method establishment, validation, and consistency evaluation. The N15 labeled β-amyloid protein was used as the internal standard. Extraction was performed using Waters MCX 96-wells solid phase extraction plate, and the eluent was collected to QuanRecovery MaxPeak 700 μl plate. At the positive ion mode, the multi-reaction ion monitoring mode based on electric spray ionization is chosen for the determination of CSF Aβ 1-42, Aβ 1-40, and Aβ 1-38. Referring to the CLSI C62-A and EP-15A3 guidelines, the method is evaluated and verified, including quantitation of limit (LOQ), linearity, recovery, precision, and accuracy. In addition, a total of 57 clinical residual CSF samples were collected and the concentrations of Aβ 1-42 and Aβ 1-40 were determined based on manual INNOTEST ELISA assay and Lumipulse G and Roche Elecsys fully automated biochemical analyzers. The comparison analysis and deviation evaluation were conducted by passing-bablok and Bland Altman methods.Results:The analysis time of this method is 8 min, and the LOQ of Aβ 1-42, Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-38 is 0.1 ng/ml, 0.5 ng/ml, and 0.1 ng/ml, respectively, and the linear range can meet the needs of clinical detection. Respectively, the recovery is 86.2%-93.8%, 100.9%-103.9% and 103.3%-107.1%; the total imprecision is 4.7%-7.4%, 3.5%-4.6% and 5.2%-10.9%. The measured values of Aβ 1-42 certified reference materials are all within the allowable uncertainty requirements. Moreover, the carryover rate of three analytes was all≤0.11%. In addition, the correlations of Aβ 1-42 and Aβ1-40 in CSF between this LC-MS/MS method and the INNOTEST ELISA method, Lumipulse G and Roche Elecsys fully automated biochemical analyzers were all deemed good, with correlation coefficient (r) ranging from 0.920 to 0.970. However, the measured values between the four methods were remarkably different.Conclusion:We established and validated a robust method based on LC-MS/MS technology for simultaneous determination of Aβ 1-42, Aβ 1-40, and Aβ 1-38 in CSF. The method is accurate, simple, and suitable for clinical measurements. However, despite good correlations, there were substantial differences in the measurement results of Aβ 1-42 and Aβ 1-40 among different analytical platforms, indicating the need for further promotion of harmonization and standardization processes for AD classic biomarkers.
