ABSTRACT
Objecive To evaluate and compare the efficacy of injecting tissue glue and lauromacrogol in modified sandwich method combined with synchronous ligation for patients with esophageal and gastric variceal.Methods 42 cases of patients with esophageal and gastric variceal were randomly divided into synchronous treatment group (22 cases) and sequential treatment group (20 cases). Both group received modiifed sandwich method for gastric varices (lauromacrogol-tissue adhesive-lauromacrogol). Synchronous treatment group meanwhile received synchronization ligation for esophageal varices, but sequential treatment group received sequential ligation after one week. The hemostasis rate, effective rate of varices, rebleeding and complications rate were analyzed.Results There were no signiifcant difference in hemostasis rate, effective rate and rebleeding rate between two groups. The incidence of complications, such as chest and abdominal pain, fever, transient bacteremia were equal between these two groups. No patients had ectopic embolism. The number of ligation device in synchronous treatment group was more than sequential treatment group (8.19 ± 2.01 vs 7.81 ± 1.78,P > 0.05), and the rate of esophageal varices disappearance was inferior to sequential treatment group (59.09% vs 70.00%), however, there were no statistical difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic injection of tissue glue and lauromacrogol synchronization ligation is safe and effective for esophageal and gastric variceal with low complication rates. This method could reduce gastroscopy times and medical expenses, and is worthy of further investigating.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of age on perioperative clinical parameters, tumor resection effects and complications of patients with early stage gastric cancer for single lesion treated by ESD.Methods 60 patients with early stage gastric cancer for single lesion treated by ESD were chosen from January 2013 to July 2014 and divided into 2 groups including A group (35 patients) with < 60 years old and B group (25 patients) with ≥ 60 years old; and the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital staying time, tumor curative resection and completed rate, the recurrence rate with follow-up and complications incidence of 2 groups were compared.Results All the patients were successfully performed the operation and no bleeding cases. There was no significant difference in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital staying time between 2 groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the tumor curative resection and completed rate between the 2 groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate with follow-up between 2 groups (P < 0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in the complications incidence between 2 groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion ESD is safe and feasible in the treatment of elderly patients with early stage gastric cancer for single lesion, and it is equivalent to short- and long-term efifcacy in non-elderly patients and not increase the operation time, the trauma degree and complications risk.
