Objective To explore the treatment of children with hernia,and the advantage of transabdominal extraperitoneal hernia sac exclusion was analyzed.Methods A total of 102 patients in our hospital from January 2005 to January 2015 were randomly divided into 2 groups,55 cases who treated by the surgery of transabdominal extraperitoneal hernia sac exclusion were treatment group,47 cases who treated by the surgery of high ligation of the hernia sac throug the inguinal incision were control group.The operative time,length of hospital stay, length of incision,postoperative pain and hospitalization costs between two groups were compared.Results The effect of the treatment group was superior to the control group on operative time,length of incision and postoperative pain,the difference was significant(P <0.05).Con-clusion There are some advantages of more simplified operation,shorter time of the surgery,less complication,lower recurrence rate and more reliable curative effect in the treatment of transabdominal extraperitoneal hernia sac exclusion for children with hernia,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic significance of endoscopic findings in Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP),especially when abdominal pain preceded the cutaneous lesions.Methods The clinical data and gastroscopic findings in 37 cases of children with HSP were studied and analysed retrospectively in order to detect the pathological changes in the stomach and duodenum mucosa.The biopsy was taken in the pathological changeing place,and the relationship between clinical and endoscopic findings was analyzed.Results Detection rate of the pathological changes in the stomach and duodenum mucosa was 62.2%,31.3% of which experienced only cutaneous lesions,100% of which presented the acute abdominal pain.Three patients were not checked up the pathological changes.Of them,1 had arthritis,2 had Henoch-Schonlein nephritis.Characteristically endoscopic findings in the stomach and duodenum mucosa were found.The endoscopic findings included anabrosis,hyperemia,edema and hemorrhage.Conclusions Detection rate of the pathological changes in the stomach and duodenum mucosa is higher.Endoscopy is very helpful to the early diagnosis of HSP in children,especially abdominal pain presented firstly.

Objective To study the clinical value of transcervical resection under hysteroscope in treatment of placental remnants.Methods From March 2003 to April 2006,14 cases of placental remnants were treated with transcervical resection under hysteroscope.They included 3 cases of term birth,and 11 cases of midtrimester induction of labor.Drug pretreatment was performed for those who had more than 80 U/L of blood beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (?-hCG) level,including mifepristone (RU486), Chinese herbs and methotrexate(MTX).RU486 was taken orally at 25 mg,three times daily and misoprostol was given 600 ?g at one dose on the third day.MTX was given by deep intramuscular injection at 1 mg/m~2 if ?-hCG was higher than 150 U/L.Bipolar evaporation was used in the operation with alternation of resection and forceps holder under ultrasonographic supervision.After operation a circular contraceptive device was placed followed by hormone periodic treatment such as estradiol valerate for 2-4 months.Results Under the monitoring by ultrasonography,14 operations were all performed smoothly.The follow-up was from 6 months to 2 years.Menstruations in almost all the cases were recovered,and 3 cases of those were pregnant and delivered smoothly 4,6 and 7 months after operation.Conclusion The transcervical resection under hysteroscope is useful in treatment of placental remnants with obvious effects,little trauma and few complications.

Objective Through a two-year follow up program,this study was to analyze the urinary iodine frequency of a cohort in the intervention trial,concerning different doses of salt iodization,so as to explore the selection of appropriate concentration of salt iodization.Methods A multistage cluster sampling method was used to select three townships in two countries for community intervention with different doses [ ( 15 ± 5 ) mg/kg,(25 ± 5 ) mg/kg,( 35 ± 5 ) mg/kg ] of salt iodization.Results After intervention,the median of urinary iodine was reduced among the population.The urinary iodine frequencies of (15 ± 5) mg/kg and (25 ± 5) mg/kg among groups of children were mainly concentrated in 100-200 &mu;g/L and 200-300 &mu;g/L paragraphs in A county.While the 300 &mu;g/Lparagraph had an overall decline in B county,the 100 &mu;tg/L and 200 &mu;g/L paragraph ratio increased but the trend seemed to be slow.The 100-300 &mu;g/L paragraph of the four treatment groups took a larger proportion and kept smooth in a more ideal state.However,the control group still maintained at above 250 &mu;g/L level.Conclusion The iodine supplementation should be gradually implemented in Chongqing.The doses of salt iodization should be reduced from the current (35 ± 15)mg/kg to (25 ± 5) mg/kg in the economically developed areas.At the same time,we need to continuously follow the changes of the condition.

Objective To explore the feasibility of tubeless 2 μm laser vaporesection in treating pediatric ureter cysts by ureteroscopy.MethodsClinical data of 33 ureter cysts patients who received tubeless 2 μm laser vaporesections by ureteroscopy were reviewed. The median age of patients was 4 years with a range from 1 to 7 years. The operations were carried out by RevoLix 2 μm laser through ureteroscopy without ureter stents and catheters indwelling.ResultsAll operations were successfully performed. And no serious complications occurred after the operations.ConclusionsTubeless transurethral 2 μm laser treatment by ureteroscopy was a superior micro-invasive surgery method for pediatrics with ureter cysts, with advantages of little blood loss, high safety, convenient operation and infrequent complications.

OBJECTIVETo explore the diagnostic value of the measurement of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

METHODSEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum GP73 in the 81 cases of HCC, 71 cases of chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis (CH/LC) and 65 cases of healthy blood donors, and to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of HCC through the ROC curves.

RESULTSThe average levels of serum GP73 in HCC, CH/LC and Normal groups were (152.67 +/- 33.59) ng/ml, (93.15 +/- 20.02) ng/ml and (58.95 +/- 17.29) ng/ml(o) After calculating through the ROC curves, 120 ng/ml was set as the optimal cut-off point, GP73 has a sensitivity of 77.80% and a specificity of 78.00%.

CONCLUSIONSGP73 as a serum marker in the diagnosis of HCC had a higher sensitivity than AFP, and the combined detection of GP73 and AFP could improve HCC diagnosis.

Aim To investigate the role of berberine in mouse primary hepatocytes steatosis and whether aden-osine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK) is essential in this process in order to explore the mech-anism of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease treatment. Methods Different concentrations of oleic acid(OA) were used in mouse primary hepatocytes to determine the appropriate dose inducing steatosis. Subsequently, hepatocytes were treated with berberine and OA at the same time for 24 h serving metformin as positive con-trol. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release test was performed to investigate cell viability. Lipid level was determined by oil red staining and triglyceride assay. Western blot measured the phosphorylation level of AMPK and Acetyl CoA carboxylase. An AMPK inhibi-tor compound C(CC) pre-treated hepatocytes for 1 h followed by berberine 24 h-treatment. The relationship between free fatty acid(FFA) uptake and mitochondri-al inhibition was evaluated by measuring FFA in the supernatant of OA,berberine and rotenone (mitochon-drial complex I inhibitor) group. Results Berberine could significantly reduce primary hepatocytes steatosis induced by oleic acid and stimulate AMPK and ACC phosphorylation at a non-toxic dose. In addition, CC obviously inhibited AMPK activity,but failed to dimin-ish the lipid dysregulation improvement of berberine. Berberine and rotenone intervention reduced OA up-take by 31.2% and 23.6%,respectively. Conclusion Berberine ameliorates hepatocytes lipid accumulation by suppressing fatty acid uptake,which is probably re-sulted from inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I,independently of AMPK activation.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of long term occupational exposure on the immune function of workers of a power plant . [ Methods] An exposure group of 200 workers in a power plant and a control group of 80 normal people of health checkup were examined for their cellular immunity and humoral immunity by flow cytometry instrument testing technology of the United States BD company and im-mune turbidimetric method.
