Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of primary abdominal cocoon.Methods The clinical data of 16 cases of primary abdominal cocoon were reviewed and analyzed.Results Only in 2 cases in which correct preoperative diagnosis was estabished by CT scan.The other 14 cases were diagnosed during operation.Parts or all small intestines were covered with a layer of milky white dense fibrous thin membrane,formed mass-likely adhesion,and fibrous film attached to the mesenteric roots.Extensive adhesion existed in between intestines.The operation included lysis of peritoneal adhesion plus fibrous membrane excision in 14 cases,lysis of peritoneal adhesion plus fibrous membrane excision and segmental enterectomy in 2 cases,and in 2 cases appendectomy was done.There was no anastomotic leakage or other major complications except for wound infection in 1 case.All the patients were followed up from 3 months to 7 years with a median follow-up time of 3.6 years,and no recurrent cases were found.Conclusions Surgery is the main method for the treatment of abdominal cocoon with evident clinical symptoms,and the prognosis is largely fair.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of abdominal lymphangioma and its diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 37 patients with abdominal lymphangioma were analyzed retrospectively.Results The clinical presentations were slight abdominal distention and discomfort in 6 cases (16%),abdominal pain or lumbago in 13 cases (35%),found by health screening in 14 cases (38%) and abdominal mass in 4 cases (11%).Tumor located in retroperitoneal space in 20 cases,small bowel in 7 cases,colon mesentery in 4 cases,small mesentery in 2 cases,duodenum in 2 cases,stomach in one case and pancreas in one case.The surgical procedures were complete resection in 31 cases and incomplete resection in 6 cases.Except 3 cases lost to fol]ow-up,no recurrence was found during the postoperative follow-up period.Conclusions It is difficult to diagnose abdominal lymphangioma before operation,and complete resection of tumor is the first choice.

Objective:To explore the microbiological and disease distribution characteristics of multidrug-resistant bacteria in patients hospitalized in a critical care rehabilitation ward, and to analyze the risk factors leading to multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.Methods:Microbiology screening data describing 679 patients admitted to a critical care rehabilitation ward were retrospectively analyzed to divide the subjects into a multidrug-resistant group (positive for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, n=166) and a non-multidrug-resistant group (negative for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, n=513). The risk factors were then analyzed using logistic regression. Results:Among 369 strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria observed, 329 were gram-negative bacteria (89.2%), mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. They were distributed in sputum (56.9%) and mid-epidemic urine (28.2%) specimens. Patients whose primary disease was hemorrhagic or ischemic cerebrovascular disease accounted for 40.96% and 23.49% of the multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that albumin level, dependence on mechanical ventilation, central venous cannulation, or an indwelling urinary catheter or cystostomy tube were significant independent predictors of such infections.Conclusion:The multidrug-resistant bacterial infections of patients admitted to the critically ill rehabilitation unit are mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria. Their occurrence is closely related to low albumin levels and mechanical ventilation, as well as to bearing an indwelling central venous catheter, a urinary catheter or a cystostomy catheter.

Chinese materia medica has a wide range of clinical applications, but it has many active ingredients with different physicochemical properties, and the target organs, action pathways and mechanisms for different ingredients to exert their efficacy are not the same. Therefore, it is difficult to design and develop a co-delivery system loading multiple components of Chinese materia medica to maximize the synergistic therapeutic efficiency. Based on the characteristics of effectiveness and functionality of active ingredients, the strategies for multi-component co-delivery of Chinese materia medica can be categorized into two types:firstly, based on the effectiveness of active ingredients, new carriers such as liposomes, nanoparticles can be constructed to load multi-components of Chinese materia medica. secondly, based on the functionality of some active ingredients of Chinese materia medica, they are employed in the construction of co-delivery system, which can give play to the dual characteristics of their own efficacy and preparation functions. In this paper, we summarized the relevant research progress of the above two types of multi-component co-delivery strategies, and mainly discussed the pharmaceutical functions of the active ingredients in co-delivery systems, in order to find a more suitable multi-component co-delivery strategy, promoting the design and development of new delivery systems of Chinese materia medica.
