Objective To evaluate different treatment modaltities for limited (local) hepatic metastasis in patients of colonic carcinoma Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis on 81 cases of colonic cancer suffering from hepatic local metastasis from 1987 to 2000 Results The 1、3、5 year survival rate was 85%、 46% and 32% respectively for patients underwent resection of metastatic liver cancer, and 26%、 0 and 0, respectively for those not having the metastatic liver cancer resected ( P 0 05) Conclusion Resection or ablation therapy promises a much longer long term survival than do nothing in colonic cancer patients with local liver metastatic tumor

The theory of "equal stress on bones and muscles" emphasizes that "the tendons bind to the bones, the bones are stretched, the bones are connected, and the bones are fractured. The relationship between bone and soft tissues are important, which is the law of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the treatment of orthopedic diseases. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, the percutaneous intervertebral foraminal technology remodels the disordered internal biological balance of the spine under pathological conditions. Among them, two common clinical minimally invasive approaches under endoscopy are paid attention to soft tissue protection, and active and appropriate functional exercises after surgery, which have become a typical manifestation of the theory of "equal stress on bones and muscles" in modern spinal orthopedic surgery.

Objectives:To study the clinical significance of time to positive (TTP) of blood culture for neonatal sepsis.Methods:From August 2016 to June 2019, a retrospective study was conducted in patients with positive blood cultures admitted to the Neonatology Department of our hospital. The patients were assigned into different groups according to the species of pathogen, types of neonatal sepsis and the samples contaminated or not. TTP of different groups were analyzed.Results:A total of 307 cases with positive blood cultures were identified from 10 035 cases with blood culture specimens. Among the 307 cases, 162 were contaminated (the contaminated group) and 145 (1.4%) were diagnosed of neonatal sepsis (the pathogenic group). The proportion of TTP <24 h, 24~<48 h, 48~<72 h and ≥72 h in the 145 sepsis cases were 90.3% (131/145), 7.6% (11/145), 1.4% (2/145) and 0.7% (1/145), respectively. The median TTP was 9.0 h in early-onset sepsis (EOS) group and 11.5 h in late-onset sepsis (LOS) group. The median TTP of the contaminated group was 24.5 (19.9, 30.5)h, which was longer than 11.1 (8.1,16.2)h of the pathogenic group ( P<0.05). The median TTP of Gram (+) group was 14.0 (9.4,18.8)h, which was longer than 9.6 (7.5,11.3)h of Gram (-) group ( P<0.05). The median TTP of fungi group was 32.5 (25.5, 39.0) h, which was longer than 10.6 (8.1, 15.5)h of bacteria group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Different pathogens has different TTP for neonatal sepsis. If blood culture maintains negative for more than 72 h, empiric use of antibiotics may be discontinued for patients of suspected sepsis without specific clinical manifestations or other lab results.
