RESUMEN
Objective:To study the effect of laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and mesh plug repair on the sexual function of patients with indirect inguinal hernia.Methods:One hundred and four patients with indirect inguinal hernia who were treated in the No.922 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2018 to October 2019 were selected and divided into two groups according to the method of random number table: routine group and TAPP group, with 52 cases in each group. The routine group was treated with mesh plug repair, and the TAPP group was treated with TAPP. The international erectile function index-5 (IIEF-5) was used to evaluate the sexual function of the patients after operation for 6 months, the visual analog pain scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain after operation for 1 month, and the relevant indexes of the operation and the incidence of complications were compared.Results:The IIEF-5 scores at 6 months after operation in two groups was higher than that before operation, the testicular volume and the maximum blood flow velocity of testicular artery in two groups were lower than those before operation, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05); the IIEF-5 scores at 6 months after operation in the TAPP group was higher than that in the routine group [(23.86 ± 1.5) scores vs. (21.45 ± 3.85) scores], and the testicular volume and the maximum blood flow velocity of testicular artery were higher than those in the routine group [(9.65 ± 0.08) cm 3 vs. (9.39 ± 0.09) cm 3, (3.83 ± 1.05) cm/s vs. (2.88 ± 0.36) cm/s], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). One month after operation, the pain scores of two group were lower than that before operation, and the pain scores of TAPP group was lower than that of routine group [(1.65 ± 0.35) scores vs. (2.78 ± 0.39) scores], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The operation time of TAPP group was higher than that of routine group [(44.35 ± 6.26) min vs. (41.80 ± 5.95) min], the bleeding volume, the time of getting out of bed, the time of hospitalization of TAPP group were lower than those of routine group [(54.66 ± 8.98) ml vs. (73.25 ± 15.25) ml, [(12.75 ± 2.42) h vs. (23.55 ± 3.66) h], (3.25 ± 1.01) d vs. (7.85 ± 1.44) d], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of operation complications of TAPP group was lower than that of routine group [3.85%(2/52) vs. 21.15%(11/52)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.121, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with conventional hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair can improve the sexual function, relieve the pain, improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the complications.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Various gene-delivery strategies have be used to transfer targeted genes into damaged bone tissues. As the most efficient gene vector, viral delivery systems have been used in bone tissue engineering research. OBJECTIVE: To thoroughly discuss the applications of different viral vectors in gene-enhanced bone tissue engineering. METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed in PubMed database for the related articles from January 2002 to January 2015. This review centered on viral vector transduction methods and their use in bone tissue engineering. Adenovirus, retrovirus, adeno-associated virus and chimeric virus were al discussed. Advantages and limitations of different vectors and their applicability toward bone tissue engineering were presented in this article. A total of 24 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Current viral vectors for gene delivery in gene-enhanced bone tissue engineering are summarized, including recent work where combinatorial gene therapy is used to express groups of genes to stimulate bone regeneration. Future directions for this field are discussed, where viral vectors mediated gene expression systems wil be combined with cels such as mesenchymal stem cels seeded in synthetic scaffolds to repair bone loss. Gene-enhanced bone tissue engineering has more advantages than traditional tissue engineering; viral vectors contribute to higher gene transfection efficiency than normal vectors. Long-term clinical observation is needed for the safety of viral vectors used in gene-enhanced tissue engineering in the body. Viruses are stil the most efficient means by which exogenous genes can be introduced into seeds cels.
