RESUMEN
Currently, the total ureteral avulsion are mainly secondary to ureteroscopy, and it is rarely caused by uterine evacuation clinically. This paper reported a case of total ureter avulsion after uterine evacuation, treating by ileal replacement for ureter under general anesthesia, and the surgical outcome was good. Uterine evacuation is a routine, less risky procedure, but it also can lead to serious complications such as total ureteral avulsion or bladder rupture. For potential high-risk patients with uterine evacuation, preventive measures such as accurate localization under B-ultrasound guidance or pre-operative ureteral stents indwelling are useful to avoid the occurrence of such serious complications. If total ureteral avulsion occurs, ileal replacement for ureter is a viable and effective treatment.
RESUMEN
Solitary kidney, renal duplication and malrotation are rare congenital renal malformations in urology department, and probably contributed to some complications such as obstruction, hydronephrosis, infection, stones. In this case report, we firstly presented a male patient with rarely multiple renal malformations, including solitary kidney, renal duplication, misaligned malrotation of upper and lower moieties, and accompanied by complete staghorn stones and hydronephrosis, who was treated with open pyelolithotomy under general anesthesia. After the operation, obstruction, hydronephrosis, and infection were relieved.
RESUMEN
A recurrent misdiagnosed case of congenital left renal arteriovenous fistula (RAVF) with multiple left renal arteries and scoliosis was reported. The patient was admitted to hospital on 29 August 2020 due to repeated hematuria for one year. No abnormality was found in two flexible ureteroscope examinations, imaging and laboratory examinations after admission. It was found that the structure of blood vessels in the inferior pole of renal sinus was disordered, and the blood vessels were tortuous and clustered through careful reading of CT enhancement films. The dilated tortuous blood vessels were also seen around the renal pelvis, and hematuria was considered to be caused by renal vascular malformation. In order to confirm the etiology, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of renal artery was performed. DSA showed a congenital left renal RAVF with three renal arteries, and the arteriovenous fistula of renal arteries was embolized. For patients presenting with severe gross hematuria, if tumor, stone, tuberculosis, or coagulation abnormalities were excluded by conventional imaging and/or laboratory examination the possibility of congenital renal vascular malformation should be suspected, and DSA examination should be performed. Endovascular embolization is an effective treatment for congenital RAVF.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of nuron specific enolase( NSE),S100βprotein,glial fibrillary acidic protein( GFAP)and myelin basic protein( MBP)in patients with early brain contusion and laceration. Methods One hundred and twelve cases with brain contusion and laceration diagnosed by CT or MRI were selected as our subjects who hospitalized Harrison international peace hospital from Apr. 2012 to Jul. 2013. Of them,68 cases with mild head injury were served as mild group and 44 cases of severe traumatic brain injury were served as severe group. And 83 healthy people without lung disease and nervous system diseases were served as control group. Electro chemiluminescence assay and ELISA methods were used to measure the level of NSE,S100β,GFAP,MBP. Results the level of serum NSE,S100β protein,GFAP and MBP in mild group were(18. 14 ± 6. 83),(0. 92 ± 0. 45),(0. 78 ± 0. 37))(4. 37 ± 1. 84)μg/ L,respectively, and(32. 11 ± 12. 48),(1. 58 ± 0. 94),(4. 26 ± 1. 96),(14. 72 ± 6. 77)μg/ L,respectively in severe group, and(8. 94 ± 3. 49),(0. 12 ± 0. 08),(0. 13 ± 0. 09),(1. 98 ± 0. 89)μg/ L,respectively in control group. There were significant differences among three groups( F = 137. 520,120. 083,283. 727,205. 569 respectively;P< 0. 01). All indexes were different between control and mild groups( q = 10. 599,13. 296,5. 881,6. 018;P< 0. 01),as well as between the mild and severe groups(q = 13. 600,9. 249,26. 639,22. 029;P < 0. 01),and between control and severe group(q = 23. 408,21. 258,32. 797,28. 134;P < 0. 01). Conclusion The level of serum NSE,S100β,GFAP,MBP can be used as early indicators of brain injury secondary diagnosis and secondary index for evaluating damage degree.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the combined detection of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)and myelin basic protein (MBP)in the patients with early brain contusion and laceration.Methods ELISA was adopted to detect serum GFAP and MBP.The one-way ANOVA analysis was adopted to conduct the comparison among groups and the q test was adopted to conduct the pairwise comparison for analyzing the differences between the brain contusion and laceration patients with the healthy population.Results The serum GFAP and MBP levels had statistically significant differences among the mild craniocerebral injury group,severe craniocerebral injury group and the healthy control (P <0.05);which had statistically signifi-cant differences between the control group and the mild craniocerebral injury group(P <0.05);which had statistically significant differences between the mild craniocerebral injury group and the severe craniocerebral group (P <0.05 );which had statistically significant differences between the control group and the severe craniocerebral injury group (P <0.05).The serum GFAP and MBP levels in the early stage of brain contusion and laceration were significantly higher than those in the control group,moreover,the more severe the injury,the more obvious the increase of serum GFAP and MBP.Conclusion The combined detection of serum GFAP and MBP can be regarded as the auxiliary indexes for the early diagnosis of early brain contusion and laceration and the eval-uation of the injury degree.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of extended care on the treatment compliance and the quality of life on discharged elderly patients with chronic heart failure. Methods One hundred and eight patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group with 54 patients in each, the experimental group received extended care for 1 year, including regular telephone and visit follow-up, supporting medical care, diet care, rehabilitation exercises and supervision of self-care. The control group underwent routine health education before discharge. Medical compliance and self-management ability were compared three months, six months and 1 year after discharge, evaluation score of life quality were also compared at discharge and one year after discharge between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in medication, diet and regular follow-up visits between the two groups. However, the patients in the experimental group showed better compliance than the control group in the self-testing of urine, body weight,and recording of symptoms, body signs and required exercises. Additionally, the patients in the experimental group had higher scores than the control group in the daily life-skills, happiness and the quality of life. Conclusions The extended care significantly improved the treatment compliance and the quality of life in the elderly patients with chronic heart failure.
