Objective To analyze the efficacy of umbilical one trocar laparoscopic appendectomy (UOTLA) in treatment of complicated appendicitis in children. Methods Clinical data of 78 cases of children patients with complicated appendicitis from January 2012 to October 2015 was summarized, including 44 cases as UOTLA group received umbilical one trocar laparoscopic appendectomy, 34 cases as OA group received open appendectomy. Then statistically analyzed all the patients' operation time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative abdominal abscess, incision infection, early inflammatory intestinal obstruction and pain level. Results The laboratory test results of C reaction protein (CRP) had no significant difference between the two groups, while peripheral white blood cell count decreased more significantly in UOTLA group than that in OA group; the operation time of UOTLA group was shorter than that in OA group with no statistical difference [(66.59 ± 33.24) vs (72.86 ± 30.36) min, P > 0.05], but postoperative hospital stay was shorter [(8.21 ± 1.67) vs (9.21 ± 2.01) d, P < 0.05]. Abdominal abscess after operation: 3 cases in UOTLA group, while 1 case in OA group (P > 0.05); incision infection: 6 cases in UOTLA group, 9 cases in OA group (P > 0.05); early inflammatory intestinal obstruction: 1 cases in UOTLA group, 5 cases in OA group (P > 0.05); the pain level, postoperative recovery time was significantly shorter in UOTLA group compared with OA group (P < 0.05). The average expenses comparison of the two groups has no statistical difference [(10639.37 ± 2970.92) vs (10765.04 ± 2902.64) yuan, P > 0.05]. Conclusion UOTLA is safe and effective for complicated appendicitis in children due to minimally invasive, less pain and faster recovery without significant increase in the cost and postoperative complications. It can be applied in children with purulent, perforated appendicitis and gangrene, perforated appendicitis and other complicated appendicitis.

Objective To investigate the synaptopathy of hidden hearing loss mice,and to observe the synapses of the cochlear inner hair cell after temporary threshold shift of noise exposure.Methods Mice were divided into normal control group and experiment group,the latter was exposed under noise of 98 dB SPL for 2 h to establish the model of temporary threshold shift.Mice cochleae of the two groups were dissected and prepared with whole mount and immunostaining.Cellular morphology was observed under confocal laser scanning microscope.Cochlear lengths were measured through cochlear frequency map to localize hair cells in different frequency regions.Then,3-D morphometry of synapses was constructed by Amira software to observe pre-synaptic ribbons,post-synaptic receptors and its pathological changes.Results In control group,each cochlear nerve fiber contacted a single inner hair cell by a single synapse,each inner hair cell had 5-30 synapses contacting cochlear nerve fibers.The larger ribbons patched smaller receptors located in the modiolar side,and the smaller ribbons patched larger receptors located in the pillar side.While in experiment group,noise overexposures caused moderate or completely reversible thresholds shift,i,e.,distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds increased 30-40 dB.Although returned to normal after 2 weeks,ABR wave Ⅰ amplitudes recovered to only 46.1 % of pre-exposure amplitudes.There was 41.3% synapses loss of inner hair cell,but there was no loss of inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons.Conclusions Threshold test is not sensitive to degeneration and loss of synapse in mice inner hair cells,while super threshold test is sensitive to it.

Objective To investigate the pathway of lymphatic drainage of proteins from cerebral parenchyma in subarachnoid hemorrhage rat models. Methods Healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into Saline group, Evans blue-labeled albumin (EBA) group, and SAH + EBA group. SAH models were produced by double injection of autologous arterial blood into cisterna magna. Using a modified microinjection method, EBA was injected into left candate-putamen of the EBA group and EBA + SAH group rats. In Saline control group, saline was injected. After injection, at 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 5 days, the animals were sacrificed and the fluorescence signals of EBA were imagined and analyzed along the possible lymphatic drainage pathway, e.g. the brain tissue, the wall of common carotid artery, and cervical lymphatic nodes. Results One day after injection, in EBA group, the fluorescence of EBA initially appeared on the left of the brain, the wall of common carotid artery, left lateral cerebral ventricle, and the perivascular spaces of cerebral vessels. The fluorescence signals gradually expanded to the opposite side.Large amount of fluorescence granules accumulated in the outer layer of common carotid artery. Fluorescence was also found in cervical lymphatic nodes. Two days after injection in this group, the density of fluorescencein the brain became weaker while the density of fluorescence in rhinencephalon became stronger. The fluorescence of EBA was found in lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta. In SAH + EBA group,reduced amount and velocity of the drainage of EBA from left caudate-putamen to rhinencephalon, cervical lymphatic nodes, and lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta were observed. From 12 hours to 5 days after injection, fluorescence intensity of EBA in deep cervical lymphatic nodes in SAH + EBA group(8.9 ±2. 0, 11.9 ± 2. 5, 17.4 ± 3.7, 26.7 ± 4. 5 and 59.0 ± 8. 1 ) were lower than those in EBA group ( 14. 5 ±3.2, 27.5 ±7.4, 60.3 ±12.3, 138.0±12.0 and 108. 1 ±13.4, F=13. 17, 24.04, 66.81, 302.77 and 59.36, P < 0. 01 ). From 2 to 5 days, fluorescence intensity of EBA in lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta was also lower in SAH + EBA group( 11.0 ± 1.5, 12. 5 ±2. 8, 23.6 ±3. 2) than those in EBA group(26. 3 ±5.9, 47.5 ±9.6, 41.0 ±9.3; F =38. 17, 72.52, 19.01, P <0.01). Conclusion SAH can result in reduced drainage of macromolecular substances, e.g. protein, from the brain via lymphatic pathway.

Objective To investigate the accuracy and the consistency with pathological diagnosis of confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) in real-time diagnosis of gastric malignancy and precancerous diseases.MethodsFrom January 2010 to March 2011, the out-patients and hospitalized patients of suspected gastric malignancy or precancerous diseases in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital were screened and undergone confocal laser endomicroscopy.Fluorescein sodium was used as fluorescent agent in the examination.A four-tiered diagnostic system was applied in the real time diagnosis with CLE images, and targeted biopsy was performed accordingly. Surgery was performed in CLE diagnosed or highly malignancy suspected patients.The diagnosis of common endoscopy, CLE and pathology was reviewed.ResultsA total of 160 patients were enrolled in this study, of those one patient withdrew because of fluorescin allergy and the rest 159 patients completed the CLE examination.A total of 194 lesions were inspected, among them, 130 cases each with one lesion, 23 cases each with two lesions and 6 cases each with three lesions.Overall accuracy rate of CLE was 93.3% (181/194).And the sensitivity and specificity of CLE in gastric malignancy diagnosis was 93.6 % and 99.3 % respectively.Ideal correlation was identified between confocal laser endomicroscopy and final pathology results (Kappa=0.876).The incidence of marked fluorescin-related adverse events was only 0.6% (1/160). ConclusionsCLE is consistent with histopathology and is helpful to make accurate diagnosis of gastric malignancy and precancerous diseases.It is important in early diagnosis of gastric malignancy and helps to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

AIM:To determine the injured effect of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) from subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) after cerebral lymphatic blockage(CLB) on PC12 cells. METHODS:SAH and CLB models of adult New Zealand rabbits were used. CSF was obtained from experimental animals after 5 d of modeling and was added into cultured PC12 cells. The cells were randomly divided into blank control(F12 Ham's),normal CSF,SAH CSF,and SAH+CLB CSF groups. At different time points,the survival rate of PC12 cells was measured by MTT assay. LDH leakage was detected. Expression of Bax and heat-shock protein 70(HSP70) was determined by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS:MTT assay and detection of LDH leakage revealed that the survival rate of PC12 cells was obviously inhibited and the leakage of LDH increased in SAH CSF group and SAH+CLB CSF group. CSF from normal rabbit did not damage the PC12,as compared to blank controls. Above effects were more obvious in SAH+CLB CSF group than those in SAH CSF group. Bax and HSP70 protein expression was found in both SAH CSF group and SAH+CLB CSF group. Expression of Bax protein in SAH+CLB CSF group was stronger than that in SAH CSF group in a time dependent manner. At 0.5 h and 1 h,the expression of HSP70 protein in SAH+CLB CSF group was stronger than that in SAH CSF group,whereas the expression became weaker at 2 h and 4 h in that group. CONCLUSION:Blockage of cerebral lymphatic drainage pathway deteriorates the damage of CSF from SAH on PC12 cells,indicating this pathway may acts as an endogenous protective mechanism in SAH.

The MAPKs activation pathway consists of three protein kinases in activation sequence:MAPKs kinase kinases (MKKKs)→,MAPKs kinases (MKKs)→MAPKs and four pathways:extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK~(ERK)),C-JUN N-terminal kinase (MAPK~(JNK)),MAPK~(P38) and MKKS/MAPK~(ERK5) activation pathways.It has been proved that MAPKs(ERK,JNK and P38) are acvtivated in the progress of morphine tolerance.Inhibitors of any element of MAPKs activation pathway may function as a potential clinical medicine for morphine tolerance.
