ABSTRACT

String of Pearls refers to the Chinese intention to establish a network in India Ocean Region (IOR) surrounding India. Each Pearl represents some form of permanent Chinese military installation in a series of locations along a String. Recent development of ports around India, in Gwadar, Hambantota, Sittwe on the Bay of Bengal Coast in Myanmar etc. are seen as part of a string of pearls. Although these are commercial ports, the fear is that these could be easily converted to Naval facilities in case of a conflict in India

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of using body surface marker localization method to determine the correct position of catheter tip (lower 1/3 of the superior vena cava or the junction of superior vena cava and right atrium) in totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) implantation via internal jugular vein approach.Methods:The clinical data of 220 patients who underwent TIVAP implantation in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 168 patients used the internal jugular vein approach. According to the method implemented for determining the length of central venous catheter (CVC) during the operation, the patients were divided into two groups: 136 patients using the body surface marker localization method were defined as the study group; and the remaining 32 cases treated by the intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopic localization method were defined as the control group. The difference in the excellent or good rate of CVC tip position immediately after implantation and the time of implantation was compared between the two groups. In addition, the correlation between the length of CVC indwelling, height, age, and the distance between the catheter tip and tracheal carina was analyzed for the patients with right and left internal jugular vein catheterization. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for statistical distribution of measurement data. Normal distribution of measurement data was expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups. Chi-square test was used for comparison between counting data. With TIVAP catheter indenture length as dependent variable and height as independent variable, Pearson correlation analysis was performed, the relationship equation between ideal catheter indenture length and patient height was analyzed by unitary linear regression. Results:When the CVC tip was located at the second intercostal space, the third sternocostal joint and the third intercostal space, the corresponding probability of being in the correct position was 34.8%, 83.3% and 95.0% respectively. The third sternocostal joint or the third intercostal space had a higher probability of correct CVC tip location than the second intercostal space, and the difference were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the possibility of the CVC tip located in the correct position between the third sternocostal joint and the third intercostal space ( P=0.149). Compared with the control group (before adjusting catheter position), the proportion of excellent or good CVC position in the study group was significantly improved (94.1% vs 46.9%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=41.99, P<0.001); while the total operation time was significantly shortened [(33.04±6.69) min vs (42.50±5.54) min], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was a linear correlation between the length of CVC insertion and height. Indwelling catheter length via right internal jugular vein approach (cm) =0.159× height (cm)-1.284 ( r=0.597, r2=0.356, P<0.001); length of catheter indwelling through the left approach (cm) =0.097× height (cm) + 12.139 ( r=0.322, r2=0.104, P=0.020). Conclusions:The third sternocostal joint or the third intercostal space would be the corresponding correct surface landmark of the CVC tip when the body surface marker localization method was adopted during the TIVAP implantation via the internal jugular vein approach. Compared with the intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy localization, the operation time is significantly shortened with the application of the body surface marker localization method. This technique is simple and easy to master and has high reliability in determining the length of catheter and the position of CVC tip.

ABSTRACT

Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy is more expensive and time consuming as compared to open technique. On the other hand, laparoscopic assisted appendectomy has the advantages of both the open and laparoscopic methods.Methods: This was a prospective comparative study of patients that underwent appendectomy by laparoscopic or laparoscopic assisted techniques.Results: A total of 40 patients were selected for the study. Standard laparoscopic technique was performed in 20 patients and laparoscopic assisted appendectomy was performed in 20 patients. The average operating time was 25.4±15 minutes in laparoscopic assisted appendectomy while it was 46.20±10.90 minutes in standard laparoscopic appendectomy which was statistically significant. Mean hospital stay in group A was 2.70±0.70 and in group B it was 2.10±0.70 which was not statistically significant.Conclusions: The laparoscopic-assisted method of appendix removal can be performed as efficiently as laparoscopically. It is fast and easy to perform, and it is expected to decrease the overall cost of laparoscopic appendectomy.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is increasingly being used in the treatment of gastric cancer with peritoneal me-tastasis, because the drug can directly act on the metastatic nodules. Repeated treatment can be administered through implanted ports, provided the ports are appropriately managed. Our study aimed to investigate the safety of peritoneal port implantation in pa-tients with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients undergoing intra-peritoneal port implantation for the administration of chemotherapy between June 2015 and June 2018 to investigate the causes of complications and to discuss their management and prevention. Results: Fifty-five ports were implanted in 54 patients with median us-age time of 8.4 (0.8-32.0) months. Complications occurred at 13 port sites (23.6%), including obstruction (7.3%), severe pain (5.5%), in-fection (3.6%), reflux (3.6%), access difficulty (1.8%), and subcutaneous mass formation (1.8%). The median interval from the time of port implantation to the development of complications was 2.1 months. No factor contributing to the complications was identified (P>0.05). Conclusions: Peritoneal port implantation to systematic chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis is safe and feasible if the ports can be carefully managed.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective     To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of single-incision video-assisted thoracic surgery versus conventional multiple ports video-assisted thoracic surgery in the treatment of lung cancer as well as providing reference for clinical decision-making. Methods     We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang ect until March 2017 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and case-control studies comparing single-incision with conventional multiple ports video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung cancer.Two reviewers independently screened and selected literatures according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then data extraction and quality assessment of included studies were conducted. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results     Twenty-six cohort studies (3 053 patients) were included. The quality of the included studies was high with score more than five.Meta-analysis showed that single-incision video-assisted thoracic surgery had shorter thoracic drainage time (MD=–0.71, 95% CI –1.03 to –0.39), shorter hospitalization time (MD=–0.92, 95% CI –1.66 to –0.19), lower pain scores 1 day after surgery (MD=–0.65, 95% CI –0.90 to –0.40), lower pain scores 3 days after surgery (MD=–0.90, 95% CI –1.16 to –0.64), lower pain scores 7 days after surgery (MD=–1.24, 95% CI –1.90 to –0.57), less number of lymph node dissection (MD=–0.72, 95% CI –1.35 to –0.10), less total drainage fluid (MD=–108.60, 95% CI   –180.42 to –36.79) and shorter length of surgical incision (MD=–2.74, 95% CI –3.57 to –1.90) than conventional multiple ports video-assisted thoracic surgery. But the differences between the two groups in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications were not statistically significant. Conclusion     Single-incision video-assisted thoracic surgery is safer and better in patient's compliance than conventional multiple ports video-assisted thoracic surgery in the treatment of lung cancer. But there is no significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, or postoperative complications. It still needs large-scale, high-quality studies to demonstrate its effectiveness and safety.

ABSTRACT

A lock solution composed of gentamicin sulfate (5 mg/mL) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-Na2, 30 mg/mL) could fully eradicate in vivo bacterial biofilms in totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP). In this study, fabrication, conditioning and sterilization processes of antimicrobial lock solution (ALS) were detailed and completed by a stability study. Stability of ALS was conducted for 12 months in vial (25 °C ± 2 °C, 60% ± 5% relative humidity (RH), and at 40 °C ± 2 °C, RH 75% ± 5%) and for 24 h and 72 h in TIVAP (40 °C ± 2 °C, RH 75% ± 5%). A stability indicating HPLC assay with UV detection for simultaneous quantification of gentamicin sulfate and EDTA-Na2 was developed. ALS was assayed by ion-pairing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) needing gentamicin derivatization, EDTA-Na2 metallocomplexation of samples and gradient mobile phase. HPLC methods to separate four gentamicin components and EDTA-Na2 were validated. Efficiency of sterility procedure and conditioning of ALS was confirmed by bacterial endotoxins and sterility tests. Physicochemical stability of ALS was determined by visual inspection, osmolality, pH, and sub-visible particle counting. Results confirmed that the stability of ALS in vials was maintained for 12 months and 24 h and 72 h in TIVAP.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the accuracy and safety of using normal saline as a medium to guide the catheter lumen to assist the localization of the catheter tip. Methods This study included the patients with hematological malignancies in our fully implantable venous port. We enrolled 105 patients from January 2014 to December 2015 as control group, and 220 patients from January 2016 to June 2017 as the experimental group. The control group used the traditional fully implantable venous port after the chest X slice to determine the location of the catheter tip. The experimental group used the intracavitary electrocardiogram location technology to assist the complete implantable venous port catheter tip positioning catheter, then chest X film. Results No catheterization occurred in all the patients. The rate of catheter placement was 100%. In the experimental group, 179 patients (81.36%) had the best placement of catheter tip (i.e., superior vena cava right atrium junction, CAJ), and 35 patients (52.38%) in the control group had the best placement of catheter tip. The proportion of the catheter tip located in the best position (the superior vena cava auricular commissure and CAJ) in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (χ2=29.615, P < 0.05). Conclusions By the injection of saline guided endocardial mapping real-time monitoring of totally implantable venous transfusion port catheter tip position, can guide the surgeon to grasp the real-time operational direction of totally implantable venous transfusion port catheter tip, accurately positioning the catheter tip position, improve the surgical success rate, worthy of clinical use.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the safety , surgery effects , pain scores of the close-distance-two-port video-assisted lobectomy and systematic dissection of the mediastinal nodes , and single-port video-assisted thora-coscopic surgery (VATS). Methods Between October 2012 and January 2015 in Peking University First Hospi-tal and Beijing Hospital , 269 patients who were going to be performed lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection, were gathered and 205 patients were included in this study finally. Of the total, 122 patients were performed close-distance-two-port VATS , and 83 patients underwent single-port VATS. The clinical data were gathered, and statistically analyzed. Result In both groups, no severe postoperative complications or death oc-curred. No significant differences existed between the two groups in terms of intraoperative blood loss , duration and volume of chest tube drainage , postoperative pain score , hospital stay after surgery and hospitalization ex-penses (P > 0.05) but the data about operating time, number of dissected lymph nodes, complications(subcuta-neous emphysema , air-leak from the port of drainage tube and poor wound healing ) were significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the single-port VATS, the method of close-distance-two-port video-as-sistant lobectomy and systematic dissection of the mediastinal nodes is safe and practicable with definite thera-peutic effect, less operation difficulty and complications.

ABSTRACT

A recent paper inferred that all seagrass in Cairns Harbour, tropical north-eastern Australia, had undergone ‘complete and catastrophic loss’ as a result of tropical cyclone Yasi in 2011. While we agree with the concern expressed, we would like to correct the suggestion that the declines were the result of a single climatic event and that all seagrass in Cairns Harbour were lost. Recent survey data and trend analysis from an on-ground monitoring program show that seagrasses in Cairns Harbour do remain, albeit at low levels, and the decline in seagrasses occurred over several years with cyclone Yasi having little additional impact. We have conducted annual on-ground surveys of seagrass distribution and the above-ground meadow biomass in Cairns Harbour and Trinity Inlet since 2001. This has shown a declining trend in biomass since a peak in 2004 and in area since it peaked in 2007. In 2012, seagrass area and above-ground biomass were significantly below the long-term (12 year) average but seagrass was still present. Declines were associated with regional impacts on coastal seagrasses from multiple years of above-average rainfall and severe storm and cyclone activity, similar to other nearby seagrass areas, and not as a result of a single event.

ABSTRACT

A pesquisa teve como objetivo o estímulo à reflexão sobre os limitantes do controle sanitário dos portos, aeroportos e fronteiras, mediante a apresentação de uma análise do modelo de fiscalização sanitária exercido nas áreas de portos, aeroportos, fronteiras e recintos alfandegados do país. Foi feita uma análise dos dados de inspeções em ambientes e produtos, no espaço territorial da pesquisa. A fonte de pesquisa foi o sistema informatizado intitulado Programa Estatístico de Portos, Aeroportos e Fronteiras (ESTATPAF). Os resultados reforçam a ideia de que a responsabilidade sobre o estágio em que se encontra a fiscalização sanitária dos portos, aeroportos e pontos de fronteiras do país, ao invés de recair sobre a organização do Estado recai, principalmente, sobre o modelo de gestão da Anvisa, no caso específico, sobre a gestão da fiscalização sanitária exercida nos portos, aeroportos e fronteiras


The study aimed to stimulate reflection on limiting the sanitary control of ports, airports and borders, by presenting an analysis of the health model exercised in the areas of ports, airports, borders and customs areas of the country. an analysis of inspection data was made in environments and products, in the territorial space of the research. The research source was the electronic system called Statistical Programme of Ports, Airports and Borders (ESTATPAF). The results reinforce the idea that the responsibility of the status of which is the sanitary inspection of ports, airports and border points of the country, instead of falling back on the state organization rests mainly on the model management of ANVISA, in the specific case, on the management of health review carried out in ports, airports and borders

Objective To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of two different approaches (i.e.internal jugular vein and subclavian vein) when used for the implantation of central venus access ports (CVAP).Methods We retrospectively analyzed 620 patients who underwent the implantation of CVAP via the approach of internal jugular vein (n =222) or subclavian vein (n =398) and compared the success rate on first attempt as well as the incidences of peroperative and long-term complications.Results The implantation of CVAP was successfully performed in all the 620 patients,with the success rate on first attempt being 97.24% (387/398) in the subclavian vein group and 89.19% (198/222) in the internal jugular vein group (U =0.171,P < 0.01).The incidences of perioperative/long-term complications were 0.90% (2/222) /1.80% (4/222) in the internal jugular vein group and 1.26% (5/398) /2.01% (8/398) in the subclavian vein group,showing no significant differences (all P > 0.05).Conclusions The implantation of CVAP via either the internal jugular vein approach or subclavian vein approach is safe and reliable.Few complications will occur if performed properly.
