ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of using the F4.8 Visual Puncture Micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy to treat the female distal calculi associated with stricture.Methods:From June 2017 to December 2019, 32 female patients with distal ureteric calculi associated with stricture, aged(35.0±10.3) years ( range from 16 to 75 years)old, were enrolled into this retrospective study. They were diagnosed by colour doppler ultrasound, IVU(intravenous Urography), or CT, et al. The average stone size was (13.0±3.6)mm in diameter(range from 3 to 20 mm), and the stone obstruction duration was from 2 to 35 days, with average of(5±17) days. Twenty-seven cases were on the unilateral ureter and 5 cases were on the bilateral ureters. There were 17 cases undergoing ESWL 2 weeks before. Six cases of stone diameter less than 6 mm were administered medical therapy for more than 7 days. All the 32 case underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy but failed because of the ureter stricture. They all suffered from hydronephrosis, with the diameter of renal collecting system from 15 to 45 mm, with(23±15)mm on average. The lithotomy position was taken, and the F4.8 Visual Micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy using 0.9% Sodium chloride was applied to enter into ureter through urethra. There were 21 cases of ureter orifice stricture, including 8 cases associated with avulsion or perforation, 9 cases associated with intramural ureter abnormality and stricture, the zebra guidewire being failed to enter. The F4.8 Visual Micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy cooperated with water pressure modulation was used to flush and open the ureter orifice and intramural ureter for entering. Holmium lase was used for lithotripsy. Two cases stone were infective and obstructed seriously. F4.8 Visual Micro-percutaneous nephrolithotriptor entered the ureter and destroyed the stones, and the stone fragments were discharged. Stone migrated upward and escaped occurred in 1 case, then the zebra guidewire was indwelled and ureteroscope was used for lithotripsy successfully. All cases were indewelled F4.7 doubld-J tube and urethral catheter after operation.Result:All the 32 patients underwent lithotripsy successful by one-stage. The operation time was 15-43 min [averaged (35.0±8.7)min]. All patients were recovered and discharged 4-7(averaged 5.3) days after operation. Three patients occured fever, T>38.5℃, and they recovered by using sensitive antibiotics according to the blood and urine culture. No severe complications occurred, such as ureteral perforation or extravasation. All patients were reviewed by ultrasound and KUB 3 days after operation, finding 24 cases with stone free, and 8 cases of a little residual stone, with the stone free rate of 75%. One month later, ultrasound and IVU was performed, and no residual stone was detected, with the stone free rate of 100%. The hydronephrosis alleviated by varying degrees. The diameter of the renal collecting system was from 0 to 35 mm, with(12±9)mm on average. The IVU showed the ureter was unobstructed. Conclusions:The F4.8 Visual Micro-percutaneous nephrolithotomy is safe and effective for the female distal calculi associated with stricture, when routine ureteroscopic lithotripsy failed.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor/polylactide-polyethyleneglycol-polylactic acid copolymer/basic fibroblast growth factor (VEGF/PELA/bFGF) mixed microcapsules in promoting the angiogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro. Methods: The BMSCs were isolated by the method of whole bone marrow adherent, and sub-cultured. The passage 3 BMSCs were identified by Wright-Giemsa staining and flow cytometry, and used for subsequent experiments. VEGF/PELA/bFGF (group A), PELA/bFGF (group B), VEGF/PELA (group C), and PELA (group D) microcapsules were prepared. The biodegradable ability and cytotoxicity of PELA microcapsule were determined，and the slow-released ability of VEGF/PELA/bFGF mixed microcapsules was measured. The passage 3 BMSCs were co-cultured with the extracts of groups A, B, C, and D, separately. At 1, 3, 7, 14, and 20 days after being cultured, the morphological changes of induced BMSCs were recorded. At 21 days, the induced BMSCs were tested for DiI-labeled acetylated low density lipoprotein (Dil-ac-LDL) and FITC-labeled ulex europaeus agglutinin I (FITC-UEA-I) uptake ability. The tube-forming ability of the induced cells on Matrigel was also verified. The differences of the vascularize indexes in nodes, master junctions, master segments, and tot.master segments length in 4 groups were summarized and analyzed. Results: The isolated and cultured cells were identified as BMSCs. The degradation time of PELA was more than 20 days. There was no significant effect on cell viability under co-culture conditions. At 20 days, the cumulative release of VEGF in the mixed microcapsules exceeded 95%, and the quantity of bFGF exceeded 80%. The morphology of cells in groups A, B, and C were changed. The cells in groups A and B showed the typical change of cobble-stone morphology. The numbers of double fluorescent labeled cells observed by fluorescence microscope were the most in group A, and decreases from group B and group C, with the lowest in group D. The cells in groups A and B formed a grid-like structure on Matrigel. Quantitative analysis showed that the differences in the number of nodes, master junctions, master segments, and tot.master segments length between groups A, B and groups C, D were significant ( P0.05). Conclusion: VEGF/PELA/bFGF mixed microcapsules have significantly ability to promote the angiogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effeet of nursing intervention in the prevention of psychiatric disorder in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Patients with CABG(202 cases) were divided into the control group (100 cases) and the intervention group (102 cases).The control group received routine treatment and nursing while the intervention group was given systemic nursing intervention.The mental status was evaluated by mini-mental status examination (MMSE). Results The incidence of psychiatric disorder in the intervention group was 4 cases (3.92%),which was statistically lower than those in the control group(16 cases,16.00%). Conclusions Effective nursing intervention combined with effective treatment could prevent and control the psychiatric disorder of patients after CABG.
