ABSTRACT
Since China-Switzerland free-trade agreements took effects, to develop the service trade of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Switzerland has a wide market opportunity. It’s also of great importance on promoing the service trade of China and spreading Chinese culture. By collecting and summarizing the political and economic condition in Switzerland and the current situation of TCM service trade in China and Switzerland, this paper analyzes the opportunities of TCM market in Switzerland, which showed that the development of TCM service trade in Switzerland should base on the health maintenance of TCM to develop service trade; communicate with higher level authority for policy support; conduct strict management and lunch more industry standards.

ABSTRACT
Pancreatic fistula is a common and serious complication after pancreatic surgery. Pancreatic fistula, intra-abdominal infection and hemorrhage are known as the " lethal triad" after pancreatic surgery, which seriously affect the curative efficacy of operation. Although the incidence of pancreatic fistula has not been significantly reduced, there have been a large number of studies on the risk factors of pancreatic fistula and the means of prevention and therapy, which try to minimize the harm of pancreatic fistula. In this article we review the recent development of the latest definition, high risk factors and treatment of postoperative pancreatic fistula according to relevant literatures at home and abroad, aiming at summarizing the research advances on the therapy of pancreatic fistula after pancreatic surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the function of early persistent vacuum suction drainage in patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods From Jul.2010 to Jun.2013,the clinical data of 286 patients undergoing PD were retrospectively evaluated.87 patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula were screened and then divided into early persistent vacuum suction drainage group (the observation group) and conventional drainage group (the control group) according to postoperative drainage manners.We statistically analyzed the two groups in terms of general information,blood loss,operative time,medical expenses,hospital stay,mortality and morbidity of complications such as pancreatic fistula.Results There were 40 patients screened into the observation group and 47 patients into the control group.No difference was found between the observation group and the control group in basic clinical data or surgical data.There was no statistical difference between the two groups in delayed gastric emptying,bile leakage,bleeding or the incidence of pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal infection.The incidence of pancreatic fistula with grade B and C in the observation group was statistically lower than that of the control group(12.5％ vs 34.0％,P＜0.05).The incidence of intraabdominal infection in observation group was statistically lower than those in the control group (20.0％ vs 40.4％,P＜0.05).The incidence of total complications in observation group was statistically lower than that in the control group (60.0％ vs 83.0％,P＜0.05),but no difference was found between the observation group and control group in morality.Early persistent vacuum suction drainage could reduce hospital stay((21.93±7.14) days vs (28.70±12.45) days,P＜0.05) and clinical expense ((64.8±12.0) thousands vs (75.2± 14.6) thousands,P＜0.05) in patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula after PD.Conclusions Early persistent vacuum suction drainage can reduce the rate of grade B and C pancreatic fistula in patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula undergoing PD.The manner can also reduce the incidence of intra-abdominal infection,total complications and cost of hospital stay.This manner can accelerate postoperative recovery of patients undergoing PD and is worth of widely used.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:3D printing technology for preoperative planning has been a trend at present. Moreover, this technology has been extensively used in bone tumor resection and maxilofacial surgery, but seldom used in fracture repair. OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of 3D printing technology application in preoperative evaluation of pelvic fracture, planning and during surgery. METHODS:Pelvic fracture patients underwent preoperative CT scan. Pelvic models of the patients were printed using 3D printing technology at 1:1. Preoperative processing was conducted, including choice of approach, design of incision exposure range, design of fracture reduction, pre-implantation position of the steel plate, optimal plastic design of steel plate, measurement of screw length and design of screw direction. Matta score of pelvic fracture reduction and Majeed score of pelvic function after repair were measured during folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The operation time was 55-130 minutes, averagely (84.75±20.15) minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was 200-800 mL, averagely (417.00±173.58) mL. After operation, no incision infection, fracture nonunion, fixator loosening or breakage appeared. Al patients were folowed up for 8-24 months. The fracture healing time was 10-16 weeks, averagely 12.5 weeks. Fracture reduction was assessed according to Matta scoring: excelent in 15 cases, good in 3 cases, average in 2 cases, and poor in 0 case, with an excelent and good rate of 90%. Postoperative function was assessed according to Majeed scoring: excelent in 13 cases, good in 5 cases, average in 2 cases, and poor in 0 case, with an excelent and good rate of 90%. These findings showed that the application of 3D printing technology in pelvic fracture can determine the fracture’s displacement, is helpful for accurate reduction and plate modeling, reduces surgery duration and intraoperative blood loss and complication, finaly achieves better surgical result. 3D printing technology can better evaluate and plan the pelvic fracture before repair, and can be used as a routine project preparation of pelvic fracture repair.
ABSTRACT
Objective To verify the trueness and assess the traceability of results from a routine chemistry system procedure for measurement of urea and ereatinine in serun.Methods Series of fresh frozen patieot sera,whose values of urea or creatinine were assigned by isotope dilution gas chromatography mass spectrometry (ID-GC/MS) or isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS/MS),were chosen to be analyzed by a routine chemistry system.The measurement results of urea and creatinine by the routine chemistry system were used for linear regression analysis against the assigned values bv the ID-MS method to calculate the percentage deviation and assess the expected bias.Results For urea and creatinine,the linear regression equations between the routine chemistry system and ID-MS methods were Y =0.9890X + 0.0192 (R2 =0.9990) and Y =0.9815X-6.4794 (R2 =0.9989),and the average percentage bias were-0.41％ (P ＞0.05) and-4.20％ (P ＜ 0.05),respectively.The expected percentage bias at three medical decision levels were-0.46％,-0.83％ and-0.96％ for urea and -15.90％,-5.87％ and-2.95％ for creatinine.Conclusions The results of urea analyzed by the routine chemistry system were consistent with the ID-MS method,which suggested that the results of the routine system procedure could be traced to ID-GC/MS method.For creatinine,the bias between the results of routine procedures and the assigned values met the minimum acceptance criteria' derived from biologic deviations,which would be better if its specificity improved.
