Comparative analysis of two digestive tract reconstruction methods in total laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy.

Background: The incidence of gastric cancer has significantly increased in recent years. Surgical resection is the main treatment, but the method of digestive tract reconstruction after gastric cancer surgery remains controversial. In the current study, we sought to explore a reasonable method of digestive tract reconstruction and improve the quality of life and nutritional status of patients after surgery.

Deep Fungal Infections Among General Hospital Inpatients in Southwestern China: A 5-Year Retrospective Study.

Background: Deep fungal infection is a type of life-threatening opportunistic infection. Its incidence has been increasing in recent years. This infection can affect the prognosis of patients, prolong hospital stays and raise costs for patients and their families.

Effect of Antifungal-Treated Host Macrophages on .

Objective: () causes infections associated with severe sepsis and high mortality. This study describes the effects of micafungin (MCF), itraconazole (ICZ), and amphotericin B (AmB) on the function of macrophages during infection.

Methods: RAW264.

TPPA titer as a new adaptation for early diagnosis of congenital syphilis: a retrospective analysis of observation over three years in Yunnan, China.

Background: Early diagnosis of congenital syphilis (CS) is difficult. This study aimed to determine the serological response discipline of syphilis passive antibody (SPA) in infants born to mothers with syphilis and provide the basis for the early diagnosis of CS.

Methods: Thirty-three infants born to mothers with syphilis and six infants with CS were recruited.

Relationship between Lung Volume and Pulmonary Function in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Computed Tomographic-based 3-Dimensional Volumetric Reconstruction of Lung Parenchyma.

Study Design: Retrospective.

Objectives: We determined values for the volume of right lung (Vr), left lung (Vl), total lung volume (Vt), and left/right lung volume ratio (Vl/Vr), allowing comparison between those data measured and those of age-matched controls. To find whether lung volume correlates with preoperative pulmonary function.

[Preliminary application of intraoperative CT in treatment of severe scoliosis with posterior total pedicle screws].

Objective: To study the clinical effects and application value of intraoperative CT in treatment of severe scoliosis with posterior total pedicle screws.

Methods: Thirty-two cases of severe scoliosis were retrospectively analysed in our hospital from June 2009 to June 2011,which were treated by posterior total pedicle screws with intraoperative CT including 12 males and 20 females with an average age of 16.8 years ranging from 10 to 38 years.

Intraoperative CT-guided cochlear implantation in congenital ear deformity.

Conclusions: Intraoperative computed tomography (iCT)-guided cochlear implantation is practical and effective for correct electrode placement in the cochlea of patients with congenital inner ear and/or complex middle ear malformation.

Objectives: The operation in patients with inner ear and/or complex middle ear malformation including abnormal facial nerve course is difficult. This study evaluated the efficacy of cochlear implantation under the guidance of iCT to insure correct electrode placement.
