ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal failure and coagu-lation function in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)with single Rhubarb.Methods 68 caese with SAP were randomly divided into control group(n =34)and treatment group(n =34)by random number table.Both two groups were given routine western medicine,but in the treatment group the patients were additionally administered with single Rhubarb orally or nasal feeding.The time of first defecation,abdominal pain disappeared,bloating disappeared,upper abdomi-nal tenderness disappeared,serum amylase recovery,correction degree of coagulation function and average hospitaliza-tion days of the two groups were compared.Results The time of first defecation in the treatment group was (46.0 ± 18.0)h,which was (73.0 ±23.0)h in the control group,there was significant difference between the two groups(t =2.43,P <0.05).The time of abdominal pain disappeared[(4.3 ±1.2)d],bloating disappeared[(5.2 ±1.6)d], upper abdominal tenderness disappeared[(5.0 ±1.7)d],serum amylase recovery[(6.2 ±1.3)d]of the treatment group were significantly shorter than those of the control group[(5.6 ±1.7)d,(6.7 ±2.3)d,(6.4 ±2.1)d,(8.9 ± 1.6)d](t =2.36,2.17,2.60,2.48,all P <0.05).The average hospitalization days of the treatment group[(24.5 ± 12.3)d]was significantly shorter than the control group[(30.6 ±12.9)d](t =2.65,P <0.05).5 days after treat-ment,in the treatment group,the partially activated thromboplastin time(APTT)[(30.39 ±4.98)s]and prothrombin time(PT)[(12.65 ±1.32)s]were significantly shorter than the control group[(37.25 ±6.27)s,(14.87 ±1.68)s] (t =2.54,2.43,all P <0.05).The platelet count(PLT)and the fibrinogen(FIB)in treatment group were (186.30 ± 59.82)×109 /L and (3.89 ±1.17)g/L repectively,those in control group were (131.80 ±48.57)×109 /L and (5.29 ±1.33)g/L repectively,the differences were statistically significant between the two groups(t =2.16,2.83,all P <0.05).Conclusion The routine western medicine and additionally administered with single Rhubarb can effec-tively prevent and treat gastrointestinal failure,significantly improve coagulation function in SAP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical observation and incidences of complications of therapeutic post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods The clinical information of 1 482 cases of therapeutic ERCP was analyzed retrospectively.Results Among them,468 cases had nasal biliary drainage,532 cases had pancreatic or bile duct stent after endoscopic procedure and the other 482 case hadn't.For the drainage group, there were 396 cases of biliary stone,36 cases of simple dilatation of common bile duct,8 cases of biliary cyst,6 cases of strictured papilla,18 cases of inflammatory stricture of common bile duct,2 cases of sclerosing cholangitis and 2 cases of autoimmune pancreatitis.For the pancreatic or bile duct stent group,there were 483 cases of malignant bili-ary obstruction,13 cases of biliary stone,28 cases of pancreatic duct stone,3 cases of sclerosing cholangitis and 5 cases of inflammatory stricture of common bile duct.And there were 385 cases of biliary stone,36 cases of simple dilatation of common bile duct,38 cases of inflammatory stricture of common bile duct,11 cases of strictured papilla, 9 cases of pancreatic duct stone and 3 cases of biliary cyst for un -drainage group.The incidences of acute pancreati-tis and acute cholangitis (4.4%,2.6%)were higher in un -drainage group than the nasal biliary drainage group (1.5%,0.6%,P 0.05)and the stent group(0.4%,0.8%,P >0.05).The incidences of 4 kinds of complications were not significantly different between the nasal biliary drainage group and the stent group.Conclusion Endoscopic nasal biliary drainage or stent can prevent and treat some of therapeutic ERCP com-plications effectively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of alcoholic severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Clinical data of 166 cases of SAP in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2001 to December 2008 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Cases were divided into alcoholic SAP group (43cases) and control group ( 123 cases) depending on deoholic intake volue whithin 12～48 hours. Age, gender,CT scores, APACHE Ⅱ score, serum glucose, serum triglyceride (TG), serum calcium, serum albumin,morbidity, later infection rate and mortality rate of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in terms of age, but the proportion of male in alcoholic SAP group (39/43) was higher than that in control group (58/123, P<0.01 ). CT score, serum glucose and calcium were not significantly different between the two groups. The APACHEⅡ score and serum TG in alcoholic SAP group [19.16±5.38,(5.06±4.03)mmol/L] were significantly higher than those in control group [16.02±5.09, (3.12±2.95)mmol/L]. The albumenjolevel in alcoholic SAP group (25.23±7.12)g/L) was lower than that in control group [(30.68±8.35 ) g/L, P<0.01]. The incidences of ARDS and upper gastroenterologic bleeding were not significantly different between the two groups. But the incidences of acute kidney failure (44.2%), liver failure (41.9%), heart failure (37.2%), shock (39.5%), infection (27.9%) and mortality (30.2%) in alcoholic SAP were significantly higher than those in control group (26.0%,30.9%, 20.3%, 16.3%,16.3%, 7.3%, P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions Males predominates alcoholic SAP patients with high mortality and morbidity. Alcohol abstinence is effective to prevent alcoholic SAP ocurrence.
