Comparison of Laparoscopic-Assisted Operations and Laparotomy Operations for the Treatment of Hirschsprung Disease: Evidence From a Meta-Analysis

The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the relative merits among laparoscopic-assisted operations and laparotomy operations for patients with Hirschsprung disease.PubMed, Web of Science, and Wanfang databases were searched for the related articles. We analyzed dichotomous variables by estimating odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and continuous variables using the weighted mean difference (WMD) with the 95% CI. The random-effects model (REM) was used to combine the results. The outcome measures included operating time (OT), estimated blood loss (EBL), length of hospital stay (LOHS), mean first bowel movement (MFBM), and number of complications.Sixteen articles were included in the meta-analysis. These studies involved a total of 774 patients, 396 of whom underwent laparoscopic-assisted operations and 378 of whom underwent laparotomy operations. The EBL (WMD = −1.48, 95% CI = −1.82, −1.13), LOHS (WMD = −0.67, 95% CI = −0.86, −0.49), MFBM (WMD = −0.83, 95% CI = −1.05, −0.61), and number of complications (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.40, 0.89) were significantly lower in laparoscopic-assisted operations than in laparotomy operations. The OT (WMD = 0.12, 95% CI = −0.05, 0.28) showed no significant differences between laparoscopic-assisted operations and laparotomy operations.Compared with laparotomy operations, laparoscopic-assisted operations are generally safer and more reliable for patients with Hirschsprung disease.

效应室浓度作为目标浓度靶控输注异丙酚的脑摄取研究

OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between the effect compartment concentration (ECC) and the brain uptake of propofol during sedation by target-controlled infusion (TCI). METHOD: Twelve ASA physical status I to II patients with neither cardiac nor intracranial diseases were scheduled for elective abdominal operation. Computer-assisted target-controlled infusion of propofol was performed for general anesthesia in all patients with the target ECC set at 4.0 microgram/ml. The plasma propofol concentrations were measured simultaneously from the radial artery and the jugular bulb at different time points by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the area under time-concentration curve (AUC(a-jv)) was calculated. RESULT: Before reaching the target propofol concentration of 4.0 microgram/ml (4.7+/-0.16 min), EEC was positively correlated with AUC(a-jv) (r(ECC-AUC)=0.977, P<0.001), but neither the arterial (Ca) nor jugular bulb propofol concentrations (Cjbv) showed such relation to AUC(a-jv) (r(Ca-AUC)= 0.054, P=0.92; r(Cjbv-AUC)=0.335, P=0.516). When ECC was controlled at 4.00 microgram/ml by TCI, Ca was comparable with Cjbv (P=0.512). Positive correlation was noted between AUCa-jv and ECC (r(ECC-AUC)=0.942, P<0.005) after the termination of infusion till the consciousness recovery of the patients, and Ca and Cjbv showed similar correlation with AUC(a-jv) (r(Ca-AUC)=0.986, P<0.001; r(Cjbv-AUC)=0.974, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: During TCI of propofol with ECC as the target concentration, ECC is significantly correlated with AUC(a-jv) to reflect the dynamic changes in cerebral propofol uptake.     

SUICIDE ATTEMPT DUE TO METOCLOPRAMIDE-INDUCED AKATHISIA

Akathisia as a side-effect of metoclopramide has received increasing attention in consultation-liaison psychiatry in recent years. A case of metoclopramide-induced akathisia resulting in a suicide attempt is reported in order to highlight the suffering of such patients and the factors that lead to misdiagnosis.

Design and evaluation of a controlled-release theophylline tablet. Preliminary communication

A 300 mg controlled-release theophylline formulation was developed as a tablet prepared by wet granulation using the acrylic resins Eudragit S 100R and Eudragit RSPMR. The tablet was compared with a marketed controlled-release capsule using in vivo and in vitro tests. The in vitro dissolution of theophylline from the tablets followed an apparent zero order kinetics. The in vivo comparison was performed in a cross over fashion in four healthy volunteers who received one tablet or capsule every 12 hours during seven days. The results showed no statistically significant differences in AUC, tmax and in plasma theophylline concentrations at the different times. Nevertheless, concentrations were lower after the administration of the tablets than when the volunteers received the capsules. On the other hand, the apparent elimination half lives obtained after the tablets were longer than with the capsules. An excessive retardation in the release of theophylline from the tablet could be responsible for this fact.     

Association of KIR Genotypes and Haplotypes with Susceptibility to Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Chinese Han Population

Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor （KIR） genes can regulate the activation of NK and T cells upon interaction with HLA class I molecules. Hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection has been regarded as a multi-factorial disorder disease. Previous studies revealed that KIRs were involved in HCV and HIV infection or clearance. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of the inheritance of KIR genotypes and haplotypes as a candidate for susceptibility to persistent HBV infection or HBV clearance. The sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction （SSP-PCR） was employed to identify the KIR genes and pseudogenes in 150 chronic hepatitis B （CHB） patients, 251 spontaneously recovered （SR） controls, and 412 healthy controls. The frequencies of genotype G7 M, FZ1 increased in CHB patients compared with healthy control subjects. The frequency of genotype AH was higher in SR controls than that in both CHB patients and healthy controls. The carriage frequencies of genotype G and AH were higher; while, the frequencies of AF and AJ were lower in SR controls than those in healthy control subjects. The frequency of A haplotype was lower, whereas, the frequency of B haplotype was higher in CHB patients and SR controls than those in healthy controls. In healthy controls, haplotype 4 was found lower compared with that in CHB patients and SR controls and the frequency of haplotype 5 was higher in SR controls than that in other two groups. Based on these findings, it seems that the genotypes M and FZ1 are HBV susceptive genotypes; AH, on the other hand, may be protective genotypes that facilitate the clearance of HBV. It appears that the haplotype 4 is HBV susceptive haplotype, whereas, haplotype 5 may be the protective haplotype that facilitates the clearance of HBV.
