ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the safety and early and mid-term efficacy of upper sternal mini-incision with debranching technique in B aortic dissection involving the arch.Methods:18 patients with B aortic dissection involving the arch who were admitted into our center from November 2017 to January 2019 were enrolled, to evaluate the intraoperative and postoperative conditions, including special intraoperative treatment, time of operation、poseoperative drainage、time of use ventilators, time of staying in ICU, complications etc, 12-24 months follow-up were performed after operation.Results:No death occurred, 1 case with acute renal failure, 1 case with type I endoleak, 1 case with paraplegia occurred during hospitalization, 1 patient with sudden vomiting of blood 30 days after discharge from hospital who was found aortoesophageal fistula, underwent emergency surgery to replace thoracic aortic and repair esophageal fistula, all of them were cured and discharged, the rate of complication was 22.2%(4/18). none of the other patients had any phenomena such as agnail、distal rupture、twisted or displaced of the stents、ischemic of coronary artery、cerebrovascular accident, etc.Conclusion:The result of upper sternal mini-incision with debranching technique in B aortic dissection involving the arch is satisfied, the early and mid-term survival rate is significantly improved, the patient's prognosis are improved.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the risk factors related to the infection in the patients with the breast implant and soft tissue expander postoperatively,such as the time of drainage and retro-irrigation.METHODS Thirty consecutive patients who underwent breast implants and soft tissue expander involving at least two sites and set negative pressure drainage tube were studied.For each patient with drainages at two sites,one was retro-irrigated during the early stage postoperatively,the other was not.The samples were from the skin out of the drainage tube,the drainage tube out of skin and the end of drainage after 2,4,6 and 8 days of the operation and at the time of removing the tube.Total samples were tested for bacteriology.RESULTS Samples were divided into two groups: common groups and retro-irrigated group with negative pressure drainage.A total of samples from each group for bacterial test were 170.The postive rate was 2.94% and 1.76%,respectively(P=0.474).The positive rate of bacterial test was closely related to the time at all 3 different sampling sites(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the acute hind limb ischemia on Wistar rat with diabetes mellitus.MethodsThirty diabetes rats were induced by intraperitoneal STZ (50 mg/kg) injection, as well as the blood glucose level tested over 16.8 mmol/L. The rats were ligated on the left femoral artery, then the blood perfusion on the hind limbs ischemia was measured by LDPI after the operation. Results The fasting plasma glucose level on 22 Wistar rats(81.5%) was kept above 16.8 mmol/L, and the hind limb blood perfusion would recover slowly to the level of the right side from 1 to 14 day (P
