ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of modified transobturator tape (TOT) for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods From June 2015 to June 2017,a total of 87 SUI patients,including 35 patients underwent standard TOT operation (standard TOT group) and 52 patients underwent modified TOT operation (modified TOT group),were retrospectively reviewed.There was no statistical difference of age [(59.7 ± 10.3) yea~ vs.(56.3 ± 9.1) years],BMI [(24.I ± 9.7) kg/m2 vs.(24.6 ± 9.3) kg/m2],diabetes history [31.4％ (11/35) vs.26.9％ (14/52)],mixed urinary incontinence [45.7％ (16/35) vs.48.1％ (25/52)] and the daily amount of urine pad [(4.3 ±2.7) vs.(3.9 ± 2.1)] between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The operative time,intraoperative complications,and postoperative complications were collecteded in two groups.Patients were followed up at 3 months,6 months,and 1 year after surgery.Results There was no significant difference in operation time [(21.1 ± 4.3) min vs.(20.5 ± 5.7) min],intraoperative hemorrhage [(18.3 ± 9.1) ml vs.(25.7 ± 8.3) ml] and postoperative incidence of urinary retention [2.9％ (1/35) vs.3.8％ (2/52)] between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of postoperative leg pain was significantly lower in modified TOT group than in TOT group[1.9％ (1/52) vs.20.0％ (7/35),P ＜ 0.05].There was no significant difference in subjective cure rate and objective cure rate between the two groups at 3 months,6 months and 1 year after surgery (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with the standard TOT,the modified TOT of modified puncture port has a similar cure rate and efficiency.However,the use of modified TOT can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative short-term leg pain,but the long-term efficacy still needs to be further followed-up.
ABSTRACT
Tumor stem cells are responsible for metastasis and relapse of cancer.Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of tumor stem cells.In many cancers such as breast carcinoma,hepatocellular carcinoma,pancreatic carcinoma,lung carcinoma,glioma and gallbladder carcinoma,the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by TGF-β1 can inhibit proliferation of cancer cell,enrich tumor stem cells and increase invasive capability and drug resistance of cancer.
ABSTRACT
This paper introduces the implementation of an electronic medical records system and the integration of clinical data in our hospital. The electronic medical records system is grounded on XML based electronic inpatient records and focused on information of patient treatment, which has integrated information of prescriptions , outpatient visits, PACS, medical examination technologies, laboratories, nursing records, reports of infectious diseases and hospital infections, licenses for antibiotics and pharmaceutical repositories, and the clinical data with electronic medical records as the carrier. This system has provided physicians with effective tools for diverse paperless medical records and favorable conditions for diagnosis and treatment, it has improved the work efficiency of physicians, optimized hospital process, minimized errors and improved quality of medical treatment. With the development of real-time quality control of medical records, we have improved efficiency and quality of hospital management.
