RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of a single-incision technique via axillary vein (AV) for placement of totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) guided by ultrasound combined with DSA in clinical application. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 240 patients who received TIVAP by single incision technique via AV access guided by ultrasound combined with DSA. We observed and recorded operation-related information such as AV width, AV puncture success rate, implantation success rate, ultrasound-guided puncture time, operation time and intraoperative and postoperative complications, etc. Results All 240 patients were successfully implanted with TIVAP, and the success rate was 100%. In 229 cases, TIVAP was implanted through single-incision AV puncture under the guidance of ultrasound combined with DSA, and the success rate of AV puncture was 95.42% (229/240). In 11 cases, TIVAP was implanted through the ipsilateral internal jugular vein (IJV) under the guidance of ultrasound combined with DSA due to the failure of AV puncture. In the 240 patients, the average width of AV of the intended puncture segment was (7.56±1.26) mm measured by preoperative ultrasound exploration and positioning, in which 195 cases were successfully punctured once, 26 cases were successfully punctured twice, and 8 cases were successfully punctured three times, with the success rate of 81.25%, 10.83% and 3.34%, respectively. The average puncture time under ultrasound guidance was (0.85±0.52) min, and the average operation time was (25.9±4.8) min. The incidence of intraoperative complications was 1.67% (4/240). No hemothorax, hemopneumothorax or serious fatal complications occurred. The incidence of complications during TIVAP retention was 2.92% (7/240). No complication such as catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter-related venous thrombosis, catheter rupture/displacement, clipping syndrome or drug extravasation was observed. Conclusion Ultrasound combined with DSA guided single-incision technique via AV access in the implantation of TIVAP is a feasible and safe implantation method with high technical success rate, short operation time and low risk of complications. It can be used as another choice of TIVAP implantation method.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of five-step sequential method for hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.Methods From April 2015 to April 2018,512 cases of hemorrhagic radiation cystitis patients in 6 provincial tumor hospital were retrospectively analyzed.12 cases were male patients,and 497 cases were female.Patients'average age was (60.1 ± 8.2) years (53-71 years).Hematuria appeared in 2.9 years on average after radiotherapy(ranged 0.5 to 13 years).According to the severity of hematuria,480 patients were classified as mild and 32 patients as severe.The step 1 was drug conservative symptomatic treatment.Thrombin solution or sodium hyaluronate was used for bladder perfusion in step 2.The step 3 was transurethral electrocoagulation.The step 4 was interventional embolization.The step 5 was hyperbaric oxygen therapy.Mild patients were treated from the first step,and the severe patients were treated rom step 3,and combined with step 1.Overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) was used to assess the improvement of patients'symptoms.Results No obvious complications occurred in step 1,2,3,5.Mild hip pain occurred at step 4.Recurrent hemorrhage rate were 6.7％ (2/30) in mild patients group and 10.5％ (2/19) in severe respectively in step 4.The total effective rate of step 1 in mild patients group was 65.2％ (313/480),step 1 + 2 was 84.2％ (404/480),step 1 + 2 + 3 was 95.6％ (459/480),step 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 was 98.3％ (472/480),and step 1 +2 +3 +4 +5 was 100％ (480/480).The effective rate of step 3 + 1 treatment was 59.4％ (19/32) in severe patients group,step 3 + 1 + 4 was 68.8％ (22/32),and step 3 + 1 +4 +5 was 100％ (32/32).The OABSS scores of mild and severe patients decreased after treatment (P＜0.01).Condusion Five-step sequential therapy could be an effective method for the treatment of hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the influence of psychological intervention on the physical and psychomotor development of children born of assisted reproductive technology. Methods 329 cases of ART born children in our hospital were set as the experimental group,the parturients were given pertinent psychological intervention.254 cases of children of spontaneous pregnancy were selected as the control group.The two groups were given follow-up for 24 months.Their physical condition at birth and psychomotor development during follow - up period were compared. Results Compared with the control group,length of infants at birth,body mass of the experimental group were significantly lower,and the incidence rate of premature birth,low birth weight,NICU stay during neonatal stage were higher.But there were no differences in psychomotor development between two groups. Conclusions ART born children of 24-month old show normal psychomotor development,but there are still more unfavorable physical factors,therefore,pertinent nursing intervention should be given based upon psychological intervention in clinic.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the concordance among RECIST, EASL and modified RECIST criteria for the evaluation of tumor response after transarterial chemoembolization of primary liver cancer.Methods Fifty patients with primary liver cancer underwent 2 TACE cycles separated by 30-40 days.Triphasic helical CT or MRI scans were performed at baseline, at 4 weeks after TACE procedure, and 2 independent radiologists evaluated tumor response according to above-mentioned three different criteria. Chisquare test was used to compare the response rate, and kappa coefficients were used to evaluate the coherence. Results When tumor responses were evaluated using the RECIST-EASL and modified RECIST criteria, the numbers of the patients achieved complete response, partial response, stable disease,progressive disease were 0, 10, 30, 10; 6,21,14,9; 6,21,13,10 respectively. The objective response rates for three different criteria were 20%, 54%, 54% respectively ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Kappa coefficients between RECIST and EASL, between RECIST and modified RECIST, between EASL and modified RECIST were 0. 382, 0. 170, and 0. 857 (P = 0. 000). Conclusions RECIST criteria underestimates the extent of tumor response after TACE in primary liver cancer. Both EASL and modified RECIST criteria appear to agree with each other in determining treatment response. Furthermore, the modified RECIST is more convenient in clinical practice compared with EASL criteria.
