The incidence of infants with rotavirus enteritis combined with lactose intolerance.

UNLABELLED: This study was to research the incidence of infants with rotavirus enteritis combined with lactose intolerance and the clinical effect of low lactose milk powder for infantile rotavirus enteritis with lactose intolerance. The control groups were 126 cases of infants with diarrhea randomly collected from our hospital at the same period, which their rotavirus detection was negative. The observation group was 185 cases of infants with rotavirus, which was tested to be positive. Through the urine galactose determination, 62 cases of the control group were positive and 124 cases of the observation group were positive. Then 124 cases of infants with rotavirus combined with lactose intolerance were randomly divided into two groups. 60 cases in the control group were given rehydration, correction of acidosis, oral smecta, Intestinal probiotics and other conventional treatment, then continued to the original feeding method. While, 64 cases in the treatment group, on the basis of routine treatment, applied the low lactose milk feeding. To observe the total effective rate for the two groups. The incidence of lactose intolerance in children with rotavirus enteritis (67.03%) was significantly higher than that of children with diarrhea (49.2%), which was tested to be negative. And the difference was statistically significant (p<0.5). In the aspect of reducing the frequency of diarrhea, and diarrhea stool forming time, the treatment group has the obvious superiority. The total effective rate was 95.4% for treatment group, which was higher than that in the control group (76.7%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Infants with rotavirus enteritis was easier to merge with lactose intolerance. The low lactose milk powder could improve the therapeutic effectively and could reduce the duration of disease, and restored to normal diet for 2 weeks feeding time.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery versus open resection of lung metastases from colorectal cancer.

This study aimed to compare the short and long-term survival outcomes between video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open resection of lung metastases from colorectal cancer. Between January 2006 and January 2013, 57 patients underwent VATS of lung metastases from colorectal cancer. These patients were compared with a consecutive matched group of 57 patients who underwent open resection within the same period. The two groups were similar in terms of age, gender, tumor size, number of tumors, tumor laterality and type of pulmonary resections. The operative time was longer in the VATS group, but the estimated blood loss was less in the VATS group than in the open group. Postoperative 30-day mortality, 30-day complications were similar between the groups. More complications were classified as major in patients underwent open resection, though the difference was not significant (P = 0.297). The 5-year overall survival rate was 50% for VATS and 46% for open resection (P = 0.251). The 5-year overall disease-free survival time was similar in two groups (P = 0.457). The findings suggest that VATS is associated with less blood loss than open resection for lung metastases of colorectal cancer. According to our results, VATS for lung metastases from colorectal cancer is equivalent to open resection in terms of long-term survival outcomes.
