180 iron nails and other foreign objects, including coins, screws, nuts and magnets have recently been removed by doctors at a hospital in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province from a local man’s stomach after he sought treatment for repeated vomiting and abdominal pain, Yunnan Daily reported on Sunday.
The man’s family took him to The Third People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province for examination. Imaging scans revealed a large mass of metal objects in the man’s abdomen, which had clumped together, distended his stomach and caused it to drop downward, according to the report.
The nearly three-hour surgery on Friday removed foreign objects weighing more than 1 kilogram, including a nail nearly 10 centimeters long.
According to Li Wei, chief physician from the hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery department at the hospital, the patient’s stomach was covered with ulcers and erosions, but fortunately the nails did not perforate the stomach or enter the intestines. The magnets may have caused the nails to clump together, with some nails becoming magnetized. The patient is recovering well and remains in stable condition.
Doctors at the hospital have previously treated patients who swallowed nails, wires and lighters, but this was their first case involving 180 nails.
The man’s family members told Jimu News, a news portal under Hubei Daily, that he had a long history of mental illness and nobody knew why he swallowed so many nails.
Li warns that people should not assume that small swallowed objects will pass on their own, particularly when they are metal or sharp. Such objects can become lodged in narrow sections of the digestive tract and cause injuries or perforation, potentially leading to peritonitis and life-threatening complications.

。专利审判和上诉委员会决定考虑高通公司两项专利的有效性。苹果及其盟友英特尔声称，这两项专利不涉及新发明，委员会已展开初步分析，以确定苹果是否有“合理的可能性”赢得这场争论。委员会将听取双方的意见，并将在大约一年内作出最终决定。这个问题只涉及苹果和英特尔针对高通公司发起的几十项挑战中的前十几项，以及高通公司在移动通信领域的巨大专利组合中的少数几个。高通公司是世界上最大的移动电话芯片制造商，其许多技术支持所有现代移动电话系统。英特尔为苹果最新一代的iPhone提供芯片，双方已经向美国专利商标局提交了30多个挑战。

C | 苹果一直在积极使用美国专利商标局的审查委员会。以这种方式挑战专利有效性比向联邦法院上诉更快更便宜。苹果和高通公司正在就后者收取的许可费展开全球专利战。苹果公司辩称，曾经供应芯片的公司利用其在市场上的优势迫使其付款。高通公司反驳说，苹果使用了自己的知识产权，但没有为此支付费用，并称苹果已经提起诉讼，要求其降低许可费。美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）同意苹果对高通授权的看法，该机构对高通公司的反垄断诉讼已进入第二周。高通公司表示，苹果已经一年多没有向其支付任何费用，导致其损失数十亿美元的利润。
