ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To study the long-term effect of active parenteral nutrition support regimen in preterm infants with a gestational age of <34 weeks. METHODS: According to the different doses of fat emulsion and amino acids used in the early stage, the preterm infants with a gestational age of <34 weeks, who were admitted to the hospital within 24 hours after birth from May to December 2019, were divided into an active parenteral nutrition group and a conventional parenteral nutrition group (n=50). Physical indices and the measurements of the Gesell Development Scale were collected at the age of 6 months and 13 months. RESULTS: At the age of 6 months, the active parenteral nutrition group (n=46) had higher developmental quotients of gross motor, fine motor, and personal-social behavior than the conventional parenteral nutrition group (n=34) (P<0.05). At the age of 13 months, the active parenteral nutrition group (n=25) had higher developmental quotients of adaptive behavior, gross motor, and personal-social behavior than the conventional parenteral nutrition group (n=19) (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the physical development indices such as body weight, body height, and head circumference between the two groups during follow-up (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: For preterm infants with a gestational age of <34 weeks, an active parenteral nutrition support strategy with high doses of fat emulsion and amino acids within 24 hours after birth can improve their long-term neurodevelopment.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of 70 degrees recumbent position transperitoneal laparoscopy for treatment of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). METHODS: From May 2004 to January 2007, 70 degrees recumbent position transperitoneal laparoscopy combined with urethral resectoscope was used to treat 31 cases of upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma. At the same time titanium clip to occlude the two extremities of ureter tumor was used, extracting specimen by oblique incision of lower quadrant. RESULTS: All operations were finished successfully, no one was turned to open surgery; mean operation time was 140 min, mean blood loss 80 ml, mean hospital stay time 8 d, without complications of urine leakage and intestinal fistula and so on. CONCLUSIONS: 70 degrees recumbent position transperitoneal laparoscopy for resection of whole kidney and ureter is worth of general clinical application because it could provide large space for operation, simplify the treatment of renal pedicle vessels, decrease operation risk, reduce operation trauma and offer early recovery. But its effect on tumor spread and recurrence will still need long term follow-up.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of laparoscopic aid in upper urinary reconstructive operation. METHODS: Fifty-eight patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction, 5 patients with upper ureter polypous, 2 patients with upper ureter stenosis, and 13 patients with upper ureter lithiasis underwent upper urinary reconstructive operation with laparoscopic aid described as follows:an incision 1 cm long was made, a 10 mm trocar and a 30 degrees laparoscope were wt in, the part with lesion was isolated and resected, and then pyeloplasty or end-to-end anastomosis of ureter was performed. RESULTS: The mean operative time was 33 minutes (25-45 minutes). The mean blood loss was 20 ml (15-25 ml). Complications such as urinary leakage and infection were observed. The double J stent was removed at 1 month after the operation. Follow-up for 3 to 15 months in 20 cases showed alleviation of hydronephrosis. CONCLUSION: An effective and safe method with less wound and operative time, combination of laparoscopic aid and open surgery in upper urinary reconstructive operation helps avoid difficult laparoscopic operation, does not increase trauma of the abdominal wall, and is worth promoting clinically.
