Objective To summarize the experience of unilateral endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary adeno-ma resection under neuroendoscopy. Methods 48 patients with pituitary adenoma were treated by unilateral en-donasal transsphenoid under neuroendoscopy. During the dissection of the adenoma, attention should be paid to pro-tect pituitary stalk and gland. Results The postoperative MRI detection revealed that the tumor was totally removed in 40(83.3%) cases,subtotally in 6(12.5%) ,and partially in 2(4.2%). All patients were followed up for 10 -36 months. Among the 38 patients with increased hormone level ,24 recovered to normal hormone level postoperatively; 14 were improved evidently;pituitary insufficiency was not found in 38 cases;7 patients have temporary diabetes in-sipidus but the symptom was released in three weeks. Conclusion The surgical treatment of pituitary adenoma by neuroendoscopic unilateral endonasal transsphenoid has its advantage in achieving both complete resection of tumor and sound protection of pituitary stalk and gland. Neuroendoscopic operation offers greater help in improving the pa-tients' quality of survival.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Lumber continued drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after Key-hole approach operation and craniotomic hematoma elimination on the prognosis of hypertensive in-tracerebral hemorrhage patients. Methods Lumber continued drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after Key-hole ap-proach operation was conducted on 38 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage patients. At the 1st month and 6th month after operation, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), Glasgow outcome scale (GOS), Barthel index, language barrier degree evaluation and sports function barrier degree evaluation were measured. The therapeutic effects were observed and compared with 34 patients who were operated by craniotomic hematoma elimination. Results GCS was 6.8± 2.1,6.6±2.3 before operation and 10.5±2.5,8.7±2.2 one week after operation in experimental group and con-trol group respectively; GOS was 3.4±0.3,2.8±0.2 one month after operation and 4.1±0.6,3.2±0.4 six month after operation in experimental group and control group respectively; Bartherl index, language barrier degree and sports function barrier degree were 63.15±11.64,51.76±12.81 and 1.7±0.3,2.3±0.2,2.0±0.3, and 2.6± 0.4 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Lumber continued drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after Key-hole approach operation offers greater help in improving the patients' quality of existence, by which the neurological function recov-ers faster and the patients recover well.

Objective To observe the influence of early intestinal barrier protection in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Methods To analyze the therapeutic methods and prognosis of 56 patients with SAP. The patients were randomly divided into the conventional therapy group (A) and the intestinal barrier protection group (B). The APACHE Ⅱ score, Ranson score, Marshall score, CT severity index (CTSI), gastrointestinal functions score (GFS), the ratio of Lactulose to Mannitol (L/M), plasma Endotoxin and Diamine Oxidase (DAO), serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and TNF-α, incidence of pancreatic infection and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and the hospitalization mortality were compared between the two groups. Results On the 7th day after admission, the APACHE Ⅱ score, GFS, L/M, Endotoxin, DAO, CRP and TNF-α were significantly less in group B than in group A (P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in the CTSI (P>0. 05)between the two groups at 2nd week after admission. The incidence of pancreatic infection and MODS in group B were significantly lower than in group A (P<0. 05). The hospitalization mortality was not significantly different (P>0. 05) between the two groups. Conclusion Early intestinal barrier protection in SAP alleviated systemic inflammatory response, and reduced the incidences of pancreatic infection and MODS, thus improved the prognosis.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of restenosis after renal artery endovascular treatment in patients with Takayasu arteritis.Methods In this study,39 patients with Takayasu arteritis underwent endovascular therapy from January 2003 to March 2014.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors relating to restenosis.Results There were 13 males and 26 females.The mean age was (27 ± 11) years.Seventeen unilateral and 22 bilateral renal artery stenosis were treated.A total of 54 endovascular procedures were successfully performed including 23 cases of unilateral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA),14 cases of unilateral stent implantation,12 cases of bilateral PTA,and 5 cases of bilateral stent implantation.The mean follow-up was (48 ±34) months,the restenosis rate was 38.9％ (21.54) and the mean time of restenosis was (11.5 ± 2.3) months.Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (OR =6.624,95 ％ CI:1.222-35.902) was independent risk factors for restenosis.Antiplatelet therapy (OR =0.158,95％ CI:0.028-0.887) and glucocorticoids or i mmunosuppressive therapy (OR =0.035,95 ％ CI:0.003-0.349) were protection factors against renal artery restenosis.Conclusion The elevated ESR increases the risk of restenosis after endovascular treatment in Takayasu arteritis associated renal artery stenosis.Antiplatelet therapy and glucocorticoids or immunosuppressive therapy were protection factors for renal artery restenosis.

Objective:To nvestigate the clinical curative effects and advantages on neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) combined with laparoscopy in lower rectal reserving annus surgery.Methods:we make a retrospective analysis of 141 patients (nCRT group) who received nCRT combined with laparoscopic rectal cancer resection and of 141 cases simply received laparoscopic rectal cancer resection at the same period in the department of coiorectal surgery,Cancer Hospital of China Medical University、Liaoning Cancer Hospital&Institute,from December 2013 to December 2015.Results:Two groups in operation time,anus exhausting time,hospital stay time,number of harvest lymph node,incision infection rate,anastomotic leakage rate are not statistic differences;Two groups of reserving anus rate (136/141 vs 125/141,P＜0.05),intraoperating bleeding (54.8 ± 23.4ml vs 69.7 ± 29.1 mL,P＜0.05),positive rate of distance resection margin (0/141VS 2/141,P＜0.05),length of distance resection margin(2.35 ± 0.70VS2.02 ± 0.46,P＜0.05),local recurrence rate (2/141 VS 9/141,P＜0.05) are statistic differences.Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy(nCRT) combined with laparoscopic rectal resection can improve reserving anus rate and reduce local recurrence rate.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) with serum thyroglobulin.Methods:Data of 539 patients with papillary thyroid nodule (≤1cm) in Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University and the Department of Oncology Surgery of Suzhou Municipal Hospital for thyroidectomy were retrospectively analyzed. All of the nodules were classified as TI-RADS 4b with ultrasound. According to the postoperative pathological results, patients were divided into PTMC group (experiment group) and benign tumor group (control group) . The PTMC patients were also divided into lymph node metastasis group (experiment group) and no lymph node metastasis group (control group) based on the cervical lymph node metastasis. Then we analyzed the relationship between thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) , thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) , thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin (Tg) with PTMC and lymph node metastasis by SPSS.Results:Age, TSH, Tg and TgAb were independent risk factors for PTMC, B: -0.020, 0.192, 0.026, 0.008, 95% CI: 0.962-0.998, 1.045-1.404, 1.015-1.038, 1.003-1.014, both P<0.05. The relations between PTMC and TSH, Tg and TgAb were positive, while age was in negative correlation with PTMC. Meanwhile, age and thyroglobulin (Tg) were also independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in PTMC patients, B: -0.025, 0.014, 95% CI: 0.957-0.994, 1.008-1.021, both P<0.05. Age was negatively correlated with lymph node metastasis and Tg was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis. Tg level higher than 26.520 ng/ml indicated that the nodule was PTMC (sensitivity: 0.560, specificity: 0.719) , and Tg level higher than 36.695 ng/ml predicted lymph node metastasis in PTMC patients (sensitivity: 0.532, specificity: 0.788) . Conclusion:Tg is a sensitive serum index for identifying PTMC from benign thyroid nodule, and it is also related to lymph node metastasis in PTMC patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and advantages of flexible 3D laparoscopic surgery on rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Methods The data of 152 patients who received laparoscopic rectal cancer resection after nCRT excluding the cases of high rectal cancer, cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction were analyzed from January 2015 to January 2016 in the Department of Colorectal Surgery of Liaoning Cancer Hospital. The distances from the annal edge to the inferior tumor margin were within 8 cm in these patients. Among these patients, 76 cases received the 3D laparoscopic surgery after nCRT (3D-nCRT), and 76 cases undergone the 2D laparoscopic surgery after nCRT (2D-nCRT). Results Between two groups, the number of lymph node harvest (14.8±2.1 vs. 14.3±1.7), positive rate of the distal margin [1.3 % (1/76) vs. 2.6 % (2/76)], reserving anus rate [92.1 % (70/76) vs. 81.2 % (67/76)], local recurrence rate [1.3 % (1/76) vs. 3.9 % (3/76)] and anastomotic leakage rate [2.6 % (2/76) vs. 3.9 % (3/76)] had no statistical differences (all P>0.05), while the operative time [(125.3±10.2) min vs. (136.6±12.0) min], intraoperative bleeding [(54.1±23.2) ml vs. (61.9±19.5) ml], anus exhaust time [(43.5±5.0) h vs. (45.4±5.6) h] and positive rate of circumferential resection margin (CRM) [1.3 % (1/76) vs. 9.2 % (7/76)] had statistical differences (all P< 0.05). Conclusion Flexible 3D laparoscopic surgery on rectal cancer after nCRT can shorten operative time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, alleviate the influence of intestinal peristalsis function, and improve operative quality.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic surgeries for rectal cancer (RC) after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT).Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 126 patients with RC who received laparoscopic surgery after nCRT in the Liaoning Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2014 were collected.Of 126 patients,63 undergoing 3D laparoscopic surgery and 63 undergoing 2D laparoscopic surgery were respectively allocated into the 3D and 2D groups.Surgery was performed by the same doctors' team.Patients received surgery at 6-8 weeks after nCRT,and surgery followed the principle of total mesorectal excision.Observation indicators:(1) intra-and post-operative situations;(2) postoperative pathological examination;(3)follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect local tumor recurrence and patients' survival up to January 2017.Patients received reexaminations once every 3 months within 1 year postoperatively and once every 6 months after 2-3 years postoperatively.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Comparison of ordinal data was done by the nonparametric test.Survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method.Survival was analyzed using the Logrank test.Results (1) Intra-and post-operative situations:all the patients underwent successful laparoscopic surgery for RC,without conversion to open surgery and perioperative death.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time to anal exsufflation and number of patients with postoperative urinary dysfunction were (125±10)minutes,(54±23)mL,(44±5)hours,0 in the 3D group and (137±12)minutes,(62±20)mL,(46±5) hours,5 in the 2D group,respectively,with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups (t=5.777,2.038,2.575,x2 =7.138,P＜0.05).Number of patients with preserving anus,number of lymph node dissected,number of patients with anastomotic fistula and duration of hospital stay were 60,14.9±2.1,2,(9.5±0.8)days in the 3D group and 58,14.3± 1.7,4,(9.9±2.0)days in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.133,t=1.606,x2 =0.175,t =1.329,P＞0.05).Two and 4 patients with anastomotic leakage in the 3D and 2D groups received defunctioning stoma,and finally anastomotic leakage healed,without anastomotic stenosis.Of 5 patients with urinary dysfunction in the 2D group,4 received indwelling catheter for 3 weeks and then can micturate autonomously after indwelling catheter removal,1 received indwelling catheter for 3 months and then can micturate autonomously after indwelling catheter removal,without suprapubic cystostomy.(2) Postoperative pathological examination:0 and 4 patients in the 3D and 2D groups had positive circumferential margin,with a statistically significant difference (x2=5.676,P＜0.05).One and 2 patients in the 3D and 2D groups had positive distal margin,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =1.606,P＞0.05).Number of patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ of postoperative pathological staging were 30,33 in the 3D group and 32,31 in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=0.127,P＞0.05).(3) Follow-up and survival situations:126 patients were followed up for 36.0-48.0months,with a median time of 39.5 months.During the follow-up,0 and 3 patients in the 3D and 2D groups were complicated with local tumor recurrence,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =4.232,P＜0.05).One-and 3-year overall survival rates were 98.4％,82.5％ in the 3D group and 96.8％,79.4％ in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.206,P＞0.05).One-and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 92.7％,77.8％ in the 3D group and 90.5％,73.0％in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=0.421,P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with 2D laparoscopic surgery,3D laparoscopic surgery for RC after nCRT is safe and feasible,it can also shorten operation time,reduce intraoperative bleeding,alleviate the influence of intestinal peristalsis function,protect pelvic nerves better and improve operation quality.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in intensive care unit (ICU) so as to provide scientific basis for antibiotic adoption and the prevention and control of nosocomial infections. Methods The various specimens collected from the patients admitted into ICU in the First People's Hospital of Shunde Affiliated to the South Medical University from January 2007 to December 2014 were used to isolate the pathogens that might cause nosocomial infections and retrospectively analyze their clinical distribution and drug resistance. Kirby-Bauer paper diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods were applied to test the drug sensitivity, and according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards/Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (NCCLS/CLSI) standard, the results were identified.Results The sputum was the major specimen source in ICU, accounting for 68.8%, followed by urine (12.4%) and blood (6.8%). All together 557 pathogens in ICU causing nosocomial infections were isolated of which there were 377 gram-negative (G-) bacilli (67.7%), 103 gram-positive (G+) cocci (18.5%), and 77 fungi (13.8%). Among G- bacilli, the top three wereAcinetobacter baumannii (34.5%), Klebsiella pneumonia (17.8%), andPseudomonas aeruginosa (13.0%). Beside carbapenem, the drug resistance rates of Acinetobacterbaumannii to other antibiotics were more than 40%. The main G+ coccus causing nosocomial infection wasSaphylococcus aureus (36.9%) in ICU. The drug resistance rates ofSaphylococcus aureus to penicillin, gentamicin and erythromycin were higher than 50%. In 77 fungus strains,Candida albicans was ranked the first, accounting for 41.6%.Conclusion The main infection site in ICU is primarily respiratory tract, the G- bacilli are the predominate pathogens, and the drug resistance to antibiotics found in this report is serious, so clinically, the antibiotics should be properly used to avoid the occurrence of pathogenic strain with drug tolerance.
