    The mechanisms involved in the development of wound metastasis following laparoscopic abdominal tumor surgery remain unclear. The aim of this study was to accurately assess whether the duration of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum (CDP) during laparoscopic abdominal tumor surgery enhances wound metastases. We conducted a systematic review of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase through December 2013 to identify animal experiments comparing wound recurrence between laparoscopic and gasless laparoscopic procedures or open procedures. The outcome of interest was the number of animals with a wound tumor. Meta-regression was used to assess whether heterogeneity was explained by study level covariates (animal model, study size, CDP pressure, duration, and evaluated time). Twenty randomized control studies involving 1,229 animals were included. Wound recurrence was not significant in the laparoscopic surgery (LP) vs. gasless laparoscopic surgery (GLP) subgroups [odds ratio (OR), 2.23; 95Β % confidence interval (CI), 0.90–5.55; P = 0.08) or the LP vs. laparotomy (LA) subgroups (OR, 0.97; 95Β % CI, 0.31–3.00; P = 0.08). Overall postoperative wound recurrence results were not significantly different between the study groups and controls (OR, 1.47; 95Β % CI, 0.74–2.92; P = 0.28). A meta-regression analysis showed that the outcome was not correlated with the covariates (animal model: P = 0.82; evaluated time: P = 0.30; pressure of CDP: P = 0.12; duration time: P = 0.80). Current evidence suggests that CDP does not enhance wound metastases following laparoscopic abdominal tumor surgery. Additional large sample, well-designed, randomized, controlled trials are needed to further confirm whether CDP duration in laparoscopic abdominal tumor surgery significantly enhances wound recurrence

    AbstractIn the identification of fire evidence, short circuit can be identified based on the metallurgical characteristics of the melted bead from the wire short-circuit. But because of the complexity in the real fire surroundings, short circuit melted bead is formed in many different ways. On the research, we analyze the microstructure characteristics of the short circuit melted bead in the condition of poor heat dissipation. By doing short circuit experiment in different cooling conditions, we can get the microstructure image of melted bead and compare them. Then analyze the difference and similarities and summary the variation law
