Objective To investigate the appropriate incision for intact specimen extraction during retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy. Methods One hundred and nineteen patients in need of retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy were randomized into two groups. One group of 60 patients received intact specimen extraction through a muscle-splitting abdominal incision. The second group of 59 patients received intact specimen extraction through a muscle-cutting lumbar incision. All procedures were performed by the same team of surgeons, and the intact specimens were extracted by the same surgeon. Standard operative features were measured and recorded (operative time, the time of specimen extraction, incision length, specimen weight, the time to get out of bed, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function, postoperative hospital stay, analgesia requirement, and complication rate). Results The two groups were matched in regard to patient age, body mass index, the maximum diameter of the kidney, and the stage of TNM (each P>0.05). There were significant differences between the abdominal incision group and lumbar incision group in terms of operative time (99±14 min vs 115±12 min; P=0.000), incision length (4.9±0.3 cm vs 5.3±0.4 cm; P=0.000), the time of specimen extraction (14±2 min vs 24±6 min; P=0.000), analgesia requirement (35±27 mg vs 52±29 mg; P=0.002), the time to get out of bed (20±2 h vs 21±4 h; P=0.016). The differences were not significant between the 2 groups in terms of the recovery time of gastrointestinal function (21±3 h vs 20±4 h; P=0.457), hospital stay (6±1 d vs 6±1 d; P=0.476), and specimen weight (469±181 g vs 459±169 g; P=0.776). There was no complication of incision in the 2 groups at 12 months′ follow-up (rang, 6 to 18 months). Conclusion A muscle-splitting abdominal incision for intact specimen extraction is more appropriate than a lumbar incision during retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy, with small incision, little injury, short operative time, quick recovery, and less pain.

Objective To explore the value of water -based material decomposition images for detection of bone marrow edema (BME)in sacroiliitis with energy spectral CT.Methods The sacroiliac (SI)joints of nine spondyloarthropathy patients with sacroiliitis (the research group)and eight healthy volunteers (the control group) were underwent MRI and energy spectral CT.The mixed energy image of energy spectral CT was reconstructed to be mono energy image.Then,the mono image was divided into water -based image and calcium image by material divid-ed and analyzed software.The SI para -articular marrow region water -calcium relative concentration of research group was compared with that of control group.The BME diagnosis efficiency and optimal water -based concentration of energy spectral CT was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve.Then,the sensitivity,specificity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ration were calculated.Results The water -based concentration of BME in research group (1 067.43 ±10.84)g/L was higher than that of control group (1 039.43 ±8.01)g/L(t =-3.14,P =0.003).Meanwhile,the calcium -based concentration of research group (68.98 ±20.53)g/L was not different from control group (78.03 ±26.39)g/L(t =1.88,P =0.066).ROC curve showed that the diagnosis efficiency was medium as the area of under curve was 0.75.When the optimal concentration of water -based was 1 052.00g/L,the diagnosis efficiency was the best.The sensitivity and specificity was 84.00%,62.50% respectively. Conclusion There are reference value and potential clinical value with energy spectral CT water -based concentra-tion detection for diagnosis BME in patients with sacroiliitis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Tingli dazao xiefei decoction on ventricular remodeling in model rats with heart failure after myocardial infarction. METHODS The rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction was established by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery， which was divided into 8 groups： sham operation group， model group， A779 group （1 mg/kg）， A779 （1 mg/kg）+Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose group （0.8 g/kg）， A779 （1 mg/kg） +Tingli dazao xiefei decoction high-dose group （1.6 g/kg）， Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose group （0.8 g/kg）， Tingli dazao xiefei decoction high-dose group （1.6 g/kg） and losartan potassium group （10 mg/kg）. Each group was given equal volume of distilled water or corresponding drugs intragastrically for 4 weeks. Masson staining was used to determine the distribution of collagen fibers in rat myocardium. The content of hydroxyproline （Hyp） in myocardium was determined by alkaline hydrolyzation. The expressions of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen （COLⅠ， COLⅢ）in myocardium were detected by immunohisto-chemistry. Myocardial fibrosis-related indexes such as matrix metalloproteinase-2 （MMP-2）， MMP-9， tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 （TIMP-1） and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 （sST-2） were detected by ELISA. The protein expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme 2-angiotensin-（1-7）-Mas [ACE2-Ang-（1-7）-Mas] axis were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with sham operation group， myocardial cells in model group and A779 group were disordered， collagen fiber deposition was significantly increased and myocardial fibrosis was obvious； the Hyp content and MMP-2， MMP-9， sST-2 levels were increased， and COL Ⅰ and COL Ⅲ positive expressions were significantly enhanced； TIMP-1 level， protein expressions of ACE2， Ang-（1-7） and Mas were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， above indexes of Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose and high-dose groups were improved to different extents. Compared with A779 group， A779+Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose and A779+high-dose groups could improve myocardial arrangement and collagen distribution， reduce the Hyp content and MMP-2， MMP-9 levels， reduce positive expressions of COL Ⅰ and COL Ⅲ （P＜0.05）， but couldn’t improve Ang-（1-7） and Mas protein expression. CONCLUSIONS Tingli dazao xiefei decoction can improve ventricular remodeling in myocardial failure model rats after myocardial infarction by improving the expression of ACE2- Ang（- 1-7）-Mas axis proteins.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the epidemiology characteristics of norovirus among diarrheal outpatients in China.

METHODSDiarrhea cases were monitored at emergency/outpatient departments at 173 hospitals in 27 provinces of China, with clinical and epidemiological data, and fecal specimens collected and sent to 58 network-laboratories to detect norovirus by RT-PCR method, and to analyze the positive rate of norovirus in various regions, population and time during 2009-2013.

RESULTS11.6% of the 34 031 diarrheal cases under surveillance were found with norovirus. Age group of 6-23 month-old children and that of people over 45 years old were found with the highest positive percentage, 13.7% and 12.4% respectively. Positive percentage of norovirus peaks in autumn and winter in a year; it peaks in mid-temperate zones (10.7%) and warm-temperate zones (11.6%) in winter. It peaks in sub-tropical zones in autumn (14.3%). The most prevalent genogroups detected were norovirus G II, accounting for 89.9% of identified strains.

CONCLUSIONNorovirus affects all ages and was most prevalent in children and the elderly among diarrhea outpatients. Norovirus' positive percentage showed strong seasonal pattern, and peaks at different times of a year in different climate zones of China. Since no effective preventive measures existed, further study on norovirus epidemiology and intervention strategies should be conducted in future.
