ABSTRACT
Objective Summarizing the recent efficacy and initial experience of using da Vinci robot surgery for pediatric annular pancreas in our hospital.Methods The clinical data of 3 children with annular pancreas treated by Da Vinci robotic surgery in Wuhan Children's Hospital from October 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Results All three cases were successfully completed with robot-assisted lateral duoduodenal anastomosis without intraoperative complications.The operation time was 240 min,212 min,135 min,respectively.Postoperative feeding was started at 12 d,7 d,and 6 d,respectively.The postoperative hospital stays were 33 d,18 d,and 13 d,respectively.The first case was complicated with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis after operation,and was cured and discharged after conservative treatment.The remaining 2 cases were cured and discharged.The follow-up time was 2 years,3 months and 5 months,respectively.No relevant complications occurred during the follow-up period,and the prognosis of the three children was good.Conclusion Da Vinci robotic surgery is safe and feasible in the treatment of annular pancreas in children,but it still needs to be supported by large sample studies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore an method for comfort evaluation of the military ambulance to enhance ride comfort during casualty transport. Methods The method executed quantitative evaluation of vibrational comfort by the existing vibration comfortableness evaluation ways for non-ambulatory casualty, different reactions of casualty to vibrational excitement and annoyance rate analysis based on psychophysics, which took considerations on the ratio of injured sites at war or natural disaster conditions as well as susceptibility analysis. Trials of the the method were carried out on the vibrational comfort analysis of some military ambulance during the road test.Results The method had feasibility for vibration comfortableness evaluation of non-ambulatory casualty,and improved the traditional ways in quantitative analysis.Conclusion The method gains advantages over the international ways, and contributes to the related researches on vibration reduction.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of punctoplasty by using trabeculectomy punch combined with a novel RS tube for the treatment of punctal stenosis.METHODS: Totally 39 patients (39 eyes) with punctual stenosis were selected from October 2013 to October 2015 in the Second People`s Hospital of Foshan.All patients underwent punctoplasty by using trabeculectomy punch combined with a novel RS tube.These tubes were removed at 3mo after operation.A follow-up of 6mo was taken for final analysis.The fluorescein dye disappearance test score was recorded before the operation and at 1,3 and 6mo after the extubation.The curative effect of the operation at 6mo after the extubation was assess.RESULTS: Fluorescein dye disappearance test: the scores at 1,3 and 6mo after the extubation all decreased compared with the preoperative ones.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).At the last following up, 35 eyes (90%) were cured completely, 4 eyes (10%) were improved significantly, no patients recurred.Effective rate was 100%.No serious intraoperative and postoperative complications happened.CONCLUSION: Punctoplasty by using trabeculectomy punch combined with novel RS tubes is a safe and effective method for the punctul stenosis, which is easy to perform, with high success rate.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the analgesic effect and safety of fentanyl in neonates receiving mechanical ventilation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty neonates receiving mechanical ventilation between December 2010 and February 2011 were randomized into drug intervention group and control group (n=15 each). In addition to the conventional treatment for both groups, the drug intervention group received fentanyl as the analgesic treatment. Heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure changes, and premature infant pain profile (PIPP) score before treatment and at 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 hours after treatment were recorded in both groups. Follow-up visits were performed for these infants after discharge, and the CDCC intellectual development scale for infants was applied to measure mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI) at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The respiratory rate and heart rate decreased in the drug intervention group after fentanyl treatment compared with the control group (P<0.05), and the PIPP scores in the drug intervention group was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). The results of follow-up visits showed no significant differences in MDI and PDI at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age between the drug intervention and control groups (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Fentanyl can relieve the pain response in neonates receiving mechanical ventilation, with no long-term adverse effects on neurodevelopment.</p>

Objective The monoclone antibody against insulin was prepared and used to measure plasma level of insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Balb/c mice were immunedwith cross-linking insulin-BSA as immunogen. Four monoelone cell strains stably secreting insulin monoclone antibody were prepared by applying hybridoma technique. The valence, subclass and affini-ty constant of the monoclone antibody were analyzed. The serum insulin content was measured with competitive inhibition ELISA in 90 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 90 healthy controls. Re-suits The affinity constant of the established monoclone antibody reached to 1011. The subclass of 1 strain was Igab(k),and the other 3 strains were Ig1(k) srbclass.The mean level of insulin was significantly lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than that of healthy controls. Conclusion These results implicated that the insulin insufficient might be due to the depletion of the pancreatic be-ta cell function of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the pathogenetic condition might be alle-viated by supplying insulin. About 10% patients are with higher insulin level than healthy controls,which may be due to insulin resistance. It is inadvisable to treat these patients with insulin therapy.
