GS23PPAEDIATRIC SURGERY PERFORMED BY GENERAL SURGEONS IN A PROVINCIAL NEW ZEALAND (NZ) HOSPITAL

Purpose To perform an audit of paediatric surgical patients in a provincial general surgical unit. Methodology Data was prospectively recorded using a standardized proforma on all children aged up to 15 yrs, seen between 11th December 2005 and 11th December 2006. Results There were 209 admissions (194 children), median age 8 yrs (6 wks–15 yrs) with 153 (73%) acutes. 37 children (18%) were under 2 yrs. Male : female ratio was 3 : 2. Procedures (n = 119) were appendicectomy (35), inguinal herniotomy (30), skin procedures (29), endoscopy (10), testicular (10) and others (5). The commonest acute and elective operations were appendicectomy and inguinal herniotomy respectively. 51% of operations were acute. There were 10 tertiary hospital transfers (5%) for burns (4), pyloric stenosis (3), intussusseption (1), neonatal inguinal hernia (1) and pyoderma gangrenosum (1). Median age of transfers was 11 months (6 wks–14 yrs). Complications were wound infection (1), post‐operative ileus (2) and infarcted ovary (1). Conclusion There are increasing moves towards centralization in paediatric surgery. 1 With only 4 paediatric tertiary centres in NZ, many general surgeons routinely perform paediatric surgery. A large number of children presented to our surgical department. Around half of these children required surgery and half of operations were acute. There is still a significant need for general paediatric surgery in the provinces and hence close collaboration with specialist paediatric surgeons.     

Klippel-Feil syndrome plus atretic meningocele in one identical twin and anencephaly in the other.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a heterogeneous entity, characterized by specific congenital anomalies of segmentation of the cervical spine. We report a case of KFS plus atretic meningocele in one identical twin and anencephaly in the other. These identical twins were both male with no chromosome defect. One of them had anencephaly diagnosed at the gestational age of 17 weeks and died soon after birth, whereas the co-twin had KFS with multiple congenital anomalies including short neck with low hairline, occipital atretic meningocele, butterfly vertebrae, hemivertebrae, cervico-thoracic scoliosis, left thumb preaxial polydactyly, and right undescended testis. He received rehabilitation during infancy and could walk at the age of 15 months. Both of these infants had preaxial polydactyly, which is an uncommon anomaly associated with KFS. In conclusion, iniencephaly and anencephaly are probably the extreme manifestations of KFS rather than different dysraphisms. Prompt clinical suspicion with early diagnostic imaging for spine lesions and occult opening of neural tube is mandatory for further intervention and rehabilitation.

Development and optimization of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of Hexoestrol

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of hexoestrol (HES) was developed, optimized and validated for the analysis of HES in pork. Many parameters, such as the volume ratio of solution A and solution B, colour developing time, pH value, incubation time, the volume ratio of the standard solution and diluted antiserum, blocking solution, blocking condition, coating solution and coating condition were studied and optimized in the paper. The regression equation of the final inhibition curve is y = - 0.3345x + 1.4955, R²=0.9913. The linear range is 0.1-8.1 ng/ml, and the IC₅₀ is 0.671 ng/ml. The specificity of the assay was evaluated by the cross-reactivity rates of six compounds, of which two structurally related compounds had a relatively higher cross-reactivity rate of 25% and 6%. HES was added into a pork sample at 5 ng/g level and then the sample was extracted. The recovery is between 49.6% and 79.2%, and the variation coefficient is 0.164.     

股前外侧区穿支动脉的形态学研究及皮瓣设计

目的探讨以旋股外侧动脉降支为蒂的皮瓣设计方法，以便增加术前多普勒定位的准确性。方法6具动脉灌注明胶-氧化铅混悬液的新鲜成人整尸标本，解剖观测股前外侧区穿支，通过血管造影术和拍摄X线片测量其直径、行程、分支和定位。用3D—doctor和Scion Image软件分别测量穿支供血的趋向性、三维重建和单穿支供血面积。结果股前外侧区共有外径大于0．5mm穿支16支，平均外径0．8mm，平均供血面积45．61cm^2，其中20％为肌间隙穿支，80％为肌皮穿支。平均蒂长为（3．15±1．43）cm。自旋股外侧动脉降支发出的穿支在浅筋膜中的平均长度为2．63cm。结论改良的氧化铅-明胶灌注技术可以为皮动脉和穿支皮瓣的研究提供高质量的血管造影图像。本研究发现股前外侧单穿支皮瓣的最大供血面积是30cm×20cm。以股前外侧区穿支设计的穿支皮瓣可以移植到下肢或身体其他部位。     

水面长航舰载保存血液生化指标的实验研究

目的探讨和观察经水面长航舰载保存血液出海前后对生化指标的影响与变化。方法随机采集和制备WB、AS-RBC和LP-RBC各18人份(200ml)。每份血液各等分为4袋,配对设计为实验组(A区、B区和C区)与对照组。分别于长航前和长航后进行血液生化指标检测。结果①K+和P3+浓度在三种血液制品的实验组与对照组各观察点的结果均随保存血液时间的延长而增高(P<0.05或P<0.01);Na+浓度由长航前的水平而逐步降低(P<0.01);P3+、Mg2+实验组和对照组较长航前增高,Cl-、Ca2+的含量与长航前没有显著变化;②LDH、AST、CKP和HBDH结果实验组和对照组均呈递增趋势,AKP结果实验组和对照组均呈下降表现,ALT与GGT结果在长航前后变化不明显;③Glu指标减低,UA呈上升趋势。结论长航对血液保存有一定的影响,但总的变化趋势与常规(4±2)℃血库冰箱保存相似。此项研究对于我们进一步探索海上血液保障与运输以及血液海上救护均具有十分重要的实用和军事价值。     

适用于生物技术设施的消防及生命安全规范

引言随着特效药品的开发和大量生产,生物实验室和制造设施的建造数量也在不断增加。按照所研究产品类型的不同,生物技术设施所使用的有害材料的数量也大不相同。2003国际建筑规范(IBC)以及美国消防协会第45号规范(NFPA45),都为生物技术设施的消防和防火分隔做出了强制性规范。对使用化学材料的实验室建造也提出了相应的要求。一、控制区和豁免数额国际建筑规范(IBC)定义的一个控制区,是指在一座建筑内的一个特定区,这个特定区含有的最大高危险材料的豁免数量(如国际建筑规范表307.7(1)和(2))。一个控制区可以有多个实验室构成,也可以是…
