Objective:To explore the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic treatment for complicated appendicitis in children with and without abscess.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 363 patients with complicated appendicitis admitted to our department between May 2017 and Sep 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the group without abscess and the group with abscess, comparing the surgical outcomes and incidence of postoperative complications between two groups.Results:As a result, all 277 cases in the non abscess group completed laparoscopic appendectomy, while all 86 cases in the periappendibular abscess group also completed laparoscopic appendectomy. The history of appendiceal abscess group was longer than that of the group without abscess [5(3-7) d vs. 2(1-3) d, Z=-11.59, P<0.05],the operation time was longer [86 (68-121) min vs. 63 (50-76) min, Z=-7.260, P<0.05], intraoperative bleeding was more [5(3-10) ml vs. 2(2-5) ml, Z=-7.010, P<0.001]. The incidence of postoperative complications was higher in the appendiceal abscess group, with a postoperative abdominal abscess rate of 11.1%,compared to 6.9% ( χ2=1.656, P=0.198), and the incision infection rate of 4.9%,compared to 4.0% ( χ2=0.008, P=0.930), the intestinal obstruction rate was 4.9%,compared to 3.2%, ( χ2=0.158, P=0.691), the intestinal injury rate was 1.3% ,compared to 0,( P=0.226). Conclusions:Laparoscopic appendectomy for periappendiceal abscess in children was safe and effective, especially for patients with a medical history of less than 7 d.

This article firstly reports the identifications of physical chemistry on the original plant morphology of Astragalus taipaishanensis Y?C?Ho et S?B?Ho SP?nov?, the sexes of dried medicinal herbs, the tissue structures and certain component parts. and at the same time compares Astragalus taipaishanensis with Astragalus membranaceus. The article also provides the foundations for the curative effects of herbs, the safety of using herbs, and enlarging the new herb resources.

In this article we first report the original plant morphology of padicularis decora, Its histological features of the root, diagnostic characters of the Crude drug and the identification tests of physical chemistry. It is clear that our vesearch also provides the basis for the appraisal of the new resources of medicinal herbs.
