RESUMO
Objective To study the feasibility of the ultrasonic scalpel in the management of cystic blood vessels during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods Abdominal blood vessels of two dogs were managed by ultrasonic scalpel under the conditions of two step output power,low tension,low holding force and blunt scalpel head.The blood vessels were sealed and arteries and veins of (1～11)mm were cut.On this basis,the technique was applied to the management of cystic vessels during laparoscopic cystic and biliary operation. Results The sealing and cutting effect was good for the blood vessels of less than 9mm 140/150(93 3%).No blood oozing was found at the cutting ends of blood vessels during and after operation.In all 706 cases of laparoscopic gallbladder and biliary duct operations,no bleeding was found at the cutting ends of blood vessels during and after operation. Conclusions Ultrasonic scalpel can be directly used to seal and cut cystic artery during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
RESUMO
Objective: To study the contents and constituents of LSPC (procyanidins from Lotus Seedpod) and its chemoprophylactic effects on 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA)-induced golden hamsters buccal-pouch carcinomas. Methods: ESI-MS was used to analyze LSPC, and the change of body weight, mortality during test, and the value of serum MDA, GSH-Px, T-SOD,the gross and pathological change of buccal-pouch mucosa were investigated when golden hamsters were via gastric intubation or the buccal pouch mucosa was smeared with 100mg/(kg bw?d)LSPC. Results and conclusion: The contents of LSPC exceeded 98% and mono-, di-, tri-, tetrameric procyanidins as well as di-, trimeric galic ester were constituted of LSPC with molecular weight ranging from 290-1154. LSPC had chemoprophylactic effects on DMBA-induced golden hamsters buccal-pouch carcinomas, and the effect was superior through smearing LSPC rather then via gastric intubation .
