＜Editors' Choice＞ Advantages of gasless single-port transumbilical extracorporeal laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy in the treatment of uncomplicated acute appendicitis in children in China: a multi-institutional retrospective study.

Gasless transumbilical extracorporeal laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy is an approach used increasingly to treat uncomplicated acute appendicitis (UAA). However, there is limited information on its clinical effects and value in the Chinese pediatric population. This study retrospectively reviewed patients with UAA treated in two pediatric institutions from January 2018 through October 2021.

1,2,3-Tri-O-acetyl-5-de-oxy-d-ribofuran-ose.

The title compound, C(11)H(16)O(7), was obtained from the breakage reaction of the glycosidic bond of 5'-de-oxy-2',3'-diacetyl-inosine. The ribofuran-ose ring has a C2-exo, C3-endo twist configuration. No alteration of the relative configuration compared with d-(-)-ribose is observed.

(Z)-1,3,4a-Trimethyl-5,5-diphenyl-6-oxa-1,3-diaza-bicyclo-[4.2.0]octane-2,4-dione.

The title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(3), is a head-to-tail oxetane, one of the regioisomers obtained by the the Paternó-Büchi reaction of 1,3-dimethyl-thymine with benzophenone. The oxetane ring is folded, the dihedral angle between the C-O-C and C-C-C planes being 14.4 (2)°.

[Clinical pathological observation on acupuncture increasing medicine-induced complete abortion rate].

Objective: To probe into the method for effectively increasing complete abortion rate of medicine-induced abortion and observe pathological changes.

Methods: Two hundred cases were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 100 cases in each group. The observation group were treated by acupuncture at Hegu (LI 4), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Neiguan (PC 6) and Kunlun (BL 60), and the control group were not treated by acupuncture.
