Objective To study the surgical treatment of pancreatolithiasis.Methods The clinical data of thirty-seven patients with pancreatolithiasis admitted to our hospital from 1994 to 2007 were reviewed.Results According to the results of imaging examination (BUS,CT,ERCP) and finding during surgery, pancreatolithiasis was classified into three types: TypeⅠ,the stones were mainly located in the head of pancreas, and Whipple procedure was the treatment of choice. TypeⅡ, the stones were mainly located in the body and tail of pancreas, and resection of the tail of pancreas alone or combined with splenectomy was the management of choice. TypeⅢ, the stones were diffusely scattered in the main duct from the head to tail of pancreas, and pancreatoduodenectomy,together with pancreatolithotomy and pancreatojejunostomy with wide anastomotic stoma was the choice of management. There was no mortality in this series. Within 2 weeks after treatment, symptoms ameliorated to different degrees in all the patients. Thirty one patients were followed up for 6 to 72 months, the results were satisfactory.Conclusions The individualized strategy, based on the type of stone location, is of great importance in the management of pancreatolithiasis. The key of surgical treatment of pancreatolithiasis is as follows: removal of pancreatoliths, excision of diseased pancreas, and adequate pancreatic drainage.

As an important member of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR), metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) plays an important role in the signal transduction of central nervous system. Selective mGluR1 antagonists can block the signaling pathway activated by mGluR1 and exert a series of physiological actions including analgesia, antianxiety, antidepression, etc. Currently, the discovery and modification of selective mGluR1 antagonists have become a hot research focus. This paper reviews the structural catalogs of selective mGluR1 antagonists and their structure-activity relationships in the last decade.

BACKGROUND:Total knee replacement is the main treatment for the end of the knee joint disease. How to choose prosthesis replacement according to the different situations of the patient is one of the focuses in the field of joint surgery.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate middle or short term effects of rotating high-flexion prosthesis for the middle-aged patients with osteoarthritis of knee in total knee replacement.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 48 osteoarthritis patients (55 knees) undergoing total knee replacement with rotating high-flexion prosthesis in the Liuzhou People’s Hospital from January 2009 to January 2013.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Forty-eight patients were folowed up for 23-42 months, mean (24±2.7) months. (2) Knee range of motion and Hospital for Special Surgery knee score were significantly increased after implantation. The excelent and good rate of Hospital for Special Surgery knee score was 85.4%. (3) No infection, loosening or dislocation occurred in al patients. (4) These findings suggest that curative effect of rotating high-flexion prosthesis is definite. After implantation, the range of motion was high, which was accorded with movement pattern of the human body. Prosthesis has a long life, and its repair rate is low. It is an ideal method for the middle-aged patients who want to perform high-flexion activities.

Objective To compare the effects of mild hypothe rmic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypas s in pediatric cardiac surgery. Methods A total of 118 cas es of less than 3 years of age that had undergone open heart surgery were review ed, in which 46 patients received moderate hypothermic CPB(group 1) and 72 patie nts received mild hypothermic CPB(group 2). The CPB duration, incidence of low c ardiac output and postoperative concentration of CK-MK, etc, were compared with each other betwee n the two groups. Results Duration of bypass and postoperative mechanical respiratory assistance of group 2 was shorter than that of group 1 ( P<0.05). Transfusion requirements, incidence of low cardiac output syndrome, concentration of CK-ME and percentage of metabolic acidosis were lower in grou p 2 than in group 1 (P<0.05), while the index of oxygenation was higher in g roup 2(P<0.05). Conclusion The mild hypothermic CPB is saf er and more effective and therefore is superior to moderate hypothermic CPB in p ediatric cardiac surgery.
