Application value of ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring in the treatment of unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To explore the application value of ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring (V-ICPM) in the treatment of unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 295 patients with unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion admitted to 904th Hospital of PLA Joint Support Force from January 2014 to August 2021, including 172 males and 123 females; aged 14-78 years [(46.3±14.7)years]. V-ICPM was used in 136 patients (V-ICPM group), who received surgical or non-surgical treatment according to the monitoring, while not in 159 patients (non-V-ICPM group), who received routine surgery or non-surgical treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the rates of intracranial hematoma clearance by craniotomy, decompressive craniectomy (DC) and dehydration and osmotic therapy during hospitalization, use time of 20% mass fraction of mannitol and 30 g/L hypertonic salt, displacement rate of brain midline structure of head CT≥10 mm after discharge, rate of intracranial infection, hydrocephalus and epilepsy, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at 6 months after discharge.Results:All patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(8.9±2.1)months]. During hospitalization, the rate of intracranial hematoma clearance by craniotomy and the rate of DC in V-ICPM group were 35.3% (48/136) and 8.1% (11/136), lower than 47.2% (75/159) and 22.0% (35/159) in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the rate of dehydration and osmotic therapy or the use time of mannitol (all P>0.05). The use time of hypertonic salt in V-ICPM group was (7.2±2.5)days, more than (4.1±1.8)days in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05). After discharge, the displacement rate of brain midline structure of head CT in V-ICPM group was 29.4% (40/136), lower than 42.8% (68/159) in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the rate of intracranial infection, hydrocephalus and epilepsy (all P>0.05). Six months after discharge, the good rate of GOS in V-ICPM group was 91.2% (124/136), significantly better than 81.8% (130/159) in non-V-ICPM group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For unilateral temporal lobe cerebral contusion, V-ICPM is associated with reduced rate of craniotomy exploration and DC, decreased incidence of complications and improved prognosis of the patients in spite of longer use time of hypertonic salt.

A Preliminary study on the preoperative risk score system for simultaneous operation for patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:This study aims to analyze the prognosis of patients who underwent a simultaneous operations for colorectal cancer and liver metastases, and to establish a prognostic scoring system for these patients.Methods:From January 2010 to March 2019, the clinicopathological data of patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases simultaneously operated at Shanghai Changhai Hospital were collected. The clinicopathological prognostic factors on tumor recurrence and survival outcomes on follow-up were analyzed. Single and multiple factors Cox regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors which affected the prognosis of patients. Using the risk factors of poor prognosis on Cox analysis, 1 point was given to each risk factor. Patients were then divided into different groups according to the different total scores. The median overall survival and disease-free survival of each group were analyzed.Results:Of 234 patients included in this study, there were 126 males and 108 females. The average age was (57.4±10.8) years. The median survival was 44.85 months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of the whole group were 87.3%, 55.2%, and 22.9%, respectively. Primary tumor in right colon, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen ≥200 ng/ml, multiple liver metastases, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma/mucinous adenocarcinoma were independent risk factors of poor prognosis. After 1 point was given to each of the above 4 items, patients were then divided into the low-risk (0-1) and high-risk (2-4) groups. The median survivals of patients in the low-risk group ( n=174) and high-risk group ( n=60) were 53 months and 29 months, respectively. The corresponding median disease-free survivals were 21.34 months and 8.48 months, respectively. The differences between the 2 groups were significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The results of this study preliminary established a predictive scoring system for patients with simultaneous colorectal cancer and liver which can play a role in selecting treatment options for these patients.

Evaluation of T staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal neoplasms with dual-energy CT iodine images / 中国医学影像技术

Objective: To explore the value of iodine image of dual-energy CT for preoperative T staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal neoplasms. Methods: Preoperative dual-energy CT images of 117 patients with laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancers confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed, including 41 cases of stage T1, 33 cases of stage T2, 31 cases of stage T3 and 12 cases of stage T4 tumors. T staging was performed based on iodine images of dual-energy CT taken the pathological results as standards, and the accuracy of staging with CT iodine images was analyzed. Results: Dual-energy CT iodine images of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers showed vocal cord/pharyngeal wall thickening or the presence of soft tissue mass and/or concentrated iodine concentration at the tumor areas. The diagnostic accuracy of preoperative T staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers was 97.56% (40/41) for T1, 84.85% (28/33) for T2, 93.55% (29/31) for T3 and 91.67% (11/12) for T4 according to CT iodine images. The overall accuracy of preoperative T staging of CT iodine images was 92.31% (108/117), which had good consistency with postoperative pathological staging results (Kappa=0.89, P<0.05). Conclusion: Dual-energy CT iodine images can accurately display the location, shape and invasion range and therefore describe preoperative T staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers.

Laparoscopic surgery of total mesorectal excision based on pelvic membrane anatomy / 中华胃肠外科杂志

Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the basic principle of surgery in rectal cancer which requires en bloc removal of the tumor and its regional lymph nodes. This conincides with the theory of membrane anatomy that emphasizes en bloc resection and avoids cancer leakage. The basis of membrane anatomy is the fusion of peritoneum and three key pointsare needed to understand the fusion and fusion fascia:(1) the fusion only occursin peritoneum; (2) the inside of fusion fascia cannot be separated; (3) the fusion can be diversiform. Only mastering these key points can we comprehend and apply this theory dialectically. The membrane anatomy in rectum is different from stomach or colon because of its specific location. The posterior space of rectum is filled with the loose connective tissue which is the degeneration of peritoneum fusion. In this space, the anterior lay of presacral fascia fuses with the proper fascia of rectum at the S4 level and separates the space into the retrorectal space and the supralevator space. Denonvilliers fascia is the fusion fascia in front of rectum, which forms the prerectal space and retroprostatic space, and extends to lateral pelvic wall with fusion of the parietal fascia of pelvis, covering the neurovascular bundle (NVB) together. The proper fascia of rectum surrounds the middle rectal artery, the pelvic plexus rectal branch and the adipose tissue to form the lateral rectal pedicle at 10 o′clock and 2 o′clock near the pelvic floor. At the level of levator ani hiatus, the fusion of levator ani muscle fascia and the proper fascia of rectum forms the Hiatal ligament, which fixs the anal canal and closes the levator ani hiatus.This article intends to discuss the above points from the perspective of membrane anatomy, in order to better guide surgeons to complete laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

Coronary Flow Reserve in Non-Infarcted Myocardium Predicts Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

PURPOSE: Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is recognized as an indicator of myocardial perfusion. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between CFR in the non-infarcted myocardium and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 100 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in the present study, and divided into MACE and non-MACE groups according to the incidence of 12-month MACEs. Left ventricular function and CFR were analyzed using two-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial contrast echocardiography at one week after PCI. Cardiac troponin I levels were assayed to estimate peak concentrations thereof. RESULTS: The MACE group was associated with lower CFR, compared to the non-MACE group (2.41 vs. 2.77, p < 0.001). In the multivariable model, CFR in the non-infarcted myocardium was an independent predictor of 12-month MACE (hazard ratio: 0.093, 95% confidence interval: 0.020–0.426, p=0.002) after adjustment for baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. CONCLUSION: CFR in the non-infarcted myocardium is a useful marker for predicting 12-month MACEs in patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI.

Recognition of the gist of laparoscopic sphincter-preserving surgery in ultra-low rectal cancer / 中华胃肠外科杂志

The laparoscopic technique has been applied for over 20 years and its superiority of minimally invasive surgery has been enlarged after combining with 3D technology. Application of this minimally invasive technology is widely acknowledged in rectal cancer surgery, especially in ultra-low rectal cancer. The surgeons can have a good view of the structure such as nerves, fascia in pelvic cavity sufficiently with the help of high definition vision, and recognize that not only the configuration of anus should be preserved but also its function. Therefore, a higher requirement on operative skill is made to the surgeons. In this article, based on our experience and realization, we reconsider and review the key technology of laparoscopic anus-preserving surgery in ultra-low rectal cancer from the aspects of vessel handling, retrorectal space mobilization, pelvic autonomic nerve preservation and intersphincteric groove management, aiming to promote standard treatment, and at the same time, to result in benefits for more patients with ultra-low rectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: BuCy2 composed of large-dose oral busulfanum and cyclophosphamide has been one of the main conditioning regimens before transplantation, but oral busulfanum can result in many side effects.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conditioning regimen with intravenous busulfanum (Ⅳ Bu) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for malignant hematopathy.DESIGN: Case observation.SETTING: Department of Hematology, Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 13 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and 6 patients with acute leukemia,who received allogeneic HSCT with the conditioning therapy of modified BuCy2, were enrolled at Institute of Hematopathy, Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from May to December 2006. There were 12 males and 7 females aged 14-50 years with an average of 33 years, and there were 9 cases of related transplantation and 10 cases of unrelated transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were harvested from peripheral blood of 18 subjects and bone marrow of 1 subject. All patients and their family members signed the informed consent.METHODS: All patients were treated with allogeneic HSCT with the conditioning therapy of intravenous BuCy2.All patients received the modified combination of busulfanum and cyclophosphamide that was commonly utilized currently.Hydroxycarbamide 40 mg/kg was orally taken ten days before transplantation. Arabinosylcytosin (Ara-C) 2 g/m2 was injected via vein nine days before transplantation. Busulfanum ampule 0.8 mg/kg (equal to 1 mg/kg oral administration)was given by central venous cannula eight, seven and six days before transplantation. The injection was performed over 2 hours controlled by infusion pump, once every 6 hours, totally 12 times. Busulfanum was diluted by saline or 5% glucose to about 0.5 g/L (about 10 times) before Ⅳ Bu. Cyclophosphamide 1.8 g/m2 was intravenously injected every day from five and four days before transplantation. Methyl-CCNU 250 mg/m2 was taken orally three days before transplantation. Occurrence of hepatic vano-occlusive disease (HVOD) and its side effects were determined. Follow-up was performed at month 6.5 after operation to observe disease recurrence and patient survival.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Occurrence and side effects of HVOD 100 days after transplantation, and results of follow-up.RESULTS: Totally 19 patients were involved in the result analysis. In 13 days after transplantation, blood conversion,chromosome karyotype and DNA polymorphism tests verified that reconstruction of hematopoietic function was obtained and two patients got recurrence, of which one patient got complete remission after receiving fludarabine plus cytarabine plus granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and HSCs from peripheral blood. DNA polymorhism test verified that re-engraftment was obtained. Another patient received chemotherapy. Other patients lived well.
