Prospective, multicenter study of laparoscopic ventral hernioplasty

Background: A standard technique for laparoscopic ventral hernioplasty (peritoneal onlay using an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene [ePTFE] patch for hernias ≥4 cm²) is being used in a prospective, multicenter, long-term study. Methods: Demographic, operative, and postoperative data were collected and analyzed. Follow-up clinical evaluations were conducted 7–10 days, 4 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and then annually after surgery in all patients. Results: In the first 2 years of the study, 144 patients were enrolled; nine were lost to follow-up. The mean operating time was 120 min. The mean follow-up was 222 days (range 5–731). Postoperative complications were five infections, three cases of prolonged ileus, one bowel obstruction, 23 seromas (15 resolved without intervention), and six hernia recurrences. Hospital discharge occurred a mean of 2.3 days after surgery and return to normal activity a mean of 15 days postoperatively. Conclusions: Laparoscopic prosthetic ventral hernioplasty avoids the large wound required in open repairs, with attendant complications and recurrences, and appears safe, especially if an ePTFE mesh is used. Compared with conventional open ventral hernioplasty, the laparoscopic technique may also allow shorter hospitalization and a quicker return to normal activities after surgery.

5-取代-1-正丁基-3-吡唑烷酮类化合物的合成及抗惊作用的构效关系

1-正癸基-3-吡唑烷酮是一种新的抗惊活性物质。杜明慧、雷小平等相继合成了一系列3-吡唑烷酮类化合物,结果,1-正丙基-5-对氟苯基-3-吡唑烷酮的抗惊作用最强(EP_(50)=14.7 mg/kg)。为了继续研究1位和5位取代基对抗惊活性的影响,我们将前人合成的35个化合物(表1中化合物1～35)进行了Hansch分析得到以下方程:     

石斛类叶鞘的显微鉴定研究

商品石斛的植物来源复杂,规格繁多,外形鉴定较困难。为了准确鉴定石斛的品种,对常作为药用的16种石斛属(Dendrobium Sw)植物的叶鞘进行了显微观察,发现其表皮细胞的形状,大小,所含草酸钙结晶的形状、大小、分布等种间区别较明显,可作为鉴别石斛种类的科学依据之一。本文对金钗石斛D.nobile Lindl。等16种石斛的叶鞘表面特征加以描述,并附主要特征图和检索表。
