Clinical study of liver and lung functional changes after inferior vena cava stent implantation in Budd Chiari syndrome patients / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the changes of clinical symptoms and liver or lung functions after inferior vena cava stent implantation in Budd Chiari syndrome patients. Methods 35 cases of Budd Chiari syndrome patients were enrolled and retrospective analysized, such as ascites, edema of lower limbs, abdomen wall of varicose veins and serum total bilirubin, serum albumin, prothrombin time, FVC, MVV, PEF, FEV1.0, FEV1.0/FVC and other pulmonary functional changes were analyzed before and 1 months after inferior vena cava stent implantation. Results Ascites, edema of lower limbs, abdominal varicose veins and other clinical symptoms were significantly reduced or disappeared, the total serum bilirubin significantly decreased, serum albumin significantly increased, and prothrombin time significantly reduced 1 month after surgery in patients with Budd Chiari syndrome, (t = 1.95, 2.31, 2.07, P < 0.01). FVC, MVV, PEF, FEV1, the indexes of FEV1/FVC improved obviously after surgery (t = 1.83, 2.69, 1.47, 1.69, 1, 97, P = 0.041, 0.029,0.046, 0.043, 0.043, 0.038). Conclusion Inferior vena cava stent implantation could effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients with Budd Chiari syndrome.

Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) for varicose great saphenous veins complicated with ulcers / 中国基层医药

Objective To explore the effect of endovenous laser treatment ( EVLT) for varicose great saphe-nous veins complicated with ulcers .Methods 40 cases ( 46 limbs ) of varicose great saphenous veins complicated with ulcers underwent EVLT .The abnormal vein branches of the base of ulcers and adjacent ulcers were burned and closed.Results Except a case suffered the secondary transplantation for skin flap necrosis ,no infection,skin necro-sis,deep vein thrombosis complications occurred in other 39 cases.All the ulcers healed ,and postoperative lower limb varicose veins were disappeared .The operation time was (65 ±11.6) min.All the ulcers healed and the hospitalization time was (21 ±4.6)d.All the patients were followed up for 6-36 months,and no recurrence was found.Conclusion EVLT for varicos e great saphenous veins complicated with ulcers has the advantages of good effect ,minimal incision , and quick recovery .

Clinical significance of intercostobrachial nerve reservation in radical resection of breast cancer / 中国基层医药

Objective To study the clinical significance of intercostobrachial nerve ( ICBN) reservation in radical resection of breast cancer .Methods 42 cases with breast cancer at stageⅠ,ⅡorⅢa were randomly divided into experimental group(n=28) and control group(n=14).In the experimental group,the ICBN were preserved in the axillary lymph node dissection operation ,while in the control group ,the ICBN were resected in the operation .After the operation,both two groups were treated as breast cancer and the patients were followed up .The operation time,the number of ALND , local tumor recurrence and distant metastasis rates after operation , survival rate were compared between the two groups.Results Postoperative 14 days,3 months and 6 months,the incidence rates of the sensory disorder in the internal upper arms in the control group were 85.7%,64.3% and 50.0% respectively,those in the experimental group were 10.7%,3.5% and 0.0%.The differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P0.05).In the control group,the local recurrence rate,distant metastasis rate and survival rate were 0.0%,7.0%and 0.0%,those in the experimental group were 0.0%,0.0% and 0.0%.There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups .Conclusion It is feasible to preserve the ICBN in radical resection of breast cancer ,which reserves the skin sensory function of the internal upper arm and axilla ,and enhance the patients'quality of life.
