Clinical Study on the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Stenosing Tenosynovitis of the Flexor Digitorum Tendon with 45° Arc Edge Needle Incision and Traditional Needle Knife Release Surgery / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

Objective To study the safety and effectiveness of arc edge needle therapy for moderate to severe tenosynovitis of the flexor digitorum tendon in the thumb.Methods A total of 62 patients with moderate to severe stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor digitorum thumb who met the inclusion criteria were collected.The patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to the arc edge needle group and the needle knife group using a random number table method.Among them,31 patients in the arc edge needle group were treated with arc edge needles,while 31 patients in the needle knife group were treated with traditional needle knife release surgery.Both groups were treated once.Record the number rating scale(NRS),range of motion(ROM),Quinell grade,and disease efficacy score(WDES)of patients before and after treatment at various stages(1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks),and at follow-up after 24 weeks to evaluate the treatment effect.Results During the 24 weeks follow-up of 62 patients after treatment,the Quinell grading comparison between the two groups showed that the arc edge needle group was better than the needle knife group(P<0.05);The total effective rate of disease efficacy score(WDES)was 96.77%in the arc edge needle group and 83.87%in the needle knife group.The clinical total effective rate of the arc edge needle group was better than that of the needle knife group(P<0.05);After treatment,both groups showed significant improvement in pain numerical score(NRS)and joint range of motion(ROM),and the degree of improvement increased over time(P<0.05);And the inter group comparison at 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks and 24 weeks time points after treatment showed that the curved blade needle was superior to the needle knife group in improving pain and joint mobility(P<0.05).Conclusion Both the 45° tenosynovitis incision and release surgery with arc edge needle and traditional needle knife release surgery are effective in treating moderate to severe tenosynovitis of the thumb flexor digitorum tendon.However,the 45° tenosynovitis incision and release surgery with arc edge needle has significant advantages in improving pain,interphalangeal joint mobility,and safety.

Correlation between preoperative platelet parameters and clinicopathological features of differentiated thyroid cancer / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the correlation between preoperative platelet parameters and the clinicopathological features of differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with thyroid tumors admitted to Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University and healthy adults with normal physical examination results in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020, and collected their general information and preoperative blood routine data. Patients with undifferentiated thyroid cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hematological diseases, kidney diseases, autoimmune diseases, genetic diseases, infectious diseases, other systemic tumors, hepatitis or cirrhosis, or those taking anticoagulants were excluded. The exclusion criteria for healthy adults were the absence of the above diseases and normal physical examination results. Differences in platelet parameters among the three groups were compared, and the correlation between clinicopathological characteristics of thyroid cancer, accompanying cervical lymph node metastasis, and platelet parameters of patients was analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of thyroid cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis. Results:A total of 117 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer were collected, including 33 males and 84 females, with an average age of （41.64±12.25） years; 46 patients had benign thyroid tumors, including 15 males and 31 females, with an average age of （41.35±12.52） years; 50 healthy adults with normal physical examination results in our hospital during the same period were also included, including 18 males and 32 females, with an average age of（42.02±9.62） years, without underlying diseases. The platelet count of the differentiated thyroid cancer group was higher than that of the benign thyroid tumor group（t=-2.219, P=0.028） and the normal control group（t=2.069, P=0.04）, while the platelet distribution width of the differentiated thyroid cancer group was lower than that of the benign thyroid tumor group（t=2.238, P=0.027） and the normal control group（t=-2.618, P=0.002）. These differences were statistically significant. Preoperative age ≤45 years（χ²=4.225, P=0.04）, tumor diameter>1 cm（χ²=4.415, P=0.036）, PLT（t=-4.018, P<0.01） increase, and PDW（t=4.568, P<0.01） decrease were significantly correlated with cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer and had statistical significance. Univariate analysis showed that age ≤45 years（OR=0.447, 95%CI 0.206-0.970, P=0.042）, tumor diameter>1 cm（OR=2.3, 95%CI 1.050-5.039, P=0.037）, PLT（OR=1.012, 95%CI 1.005-1.019, P=0.001）, and PDW（OR=0.693, 95%CI 0.518-0.827, P<0.01） were risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer. The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that PLT（OR=1.008, 95%CI 1.001-1.016, P=0.026） and PDW（OR=0.692, 95%CI 0.564-0.848, P<0.01） were independent risk factors for thyroid cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis. Conclusion:PLT and PDW may be useful predictive factors for the differentiation of thyroid cancer malignancy and central lymph node metastasis.

Experience in the Management of the Facilities and Equipment of Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Ser-vice in Our Hospital / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for the management of the facilities and equipment of the pharmacy intrave-nous admixture service(PIVAS). METHODS:The experience in the management of the facilities and equipment of PIVAS in our hospital was introduced in respect of system establishment,archives management and the maintenance of important equipment,and the performance of core purification equipment was tested to evaluate management effect. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The PIV-AS in our hospital established a practical system by developing and improving 7 management systems,9 sets of operational proce-dures and 5 contingency plans,increased the awareness of archives management by perfecting 27 archive files and standardized and conducted the maintenance of key equipment. In 2014 and 2015,after implementing management,the passing rates of all test items of the purification equipment were 100%. It is suggested that facilities management should focus on active preparation of an intelli-gent monitoring system,the improvement of the information system and the training of professional management personnel.
