RESUMO
Objective:To explore the predictive factors of intestinal necrosis in acute mesenteric ischemia.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled 81 patients diagnosed as acute mesenteric vascular occlusive diseases in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between Nov 2012 to May 2017. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify predictive factors for intestinal necrosis.Results:In univariate analysis, the predictive factors of intestinal necrosis were peritoneal irritation sign ( P<0.001), white blood cell count ( P<0.001), serum albumin ( P=0.028), blood creatinine ( P=0.025), serum lactic acid ( P=0.008), D-dimer ( P=0.037), intestinal pneumatosis ( P=0.017), decreased or disappeared enhanced bowel wall ( P<0.001) and bowel loop dilation>2.5 cm ( P=0.01) on CT scan. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, white blood cells ( OR=3.60, 95% CI: 1.51-5.47, P=0.007), lactic acid ( OR=4.80, 95% CI: 1.36-9.89, P=0.032), reduced or disappeared enhanced bowel wall ( OR=10.57, 95% CI: 1.82-61.10, P=0.008) were independent predictive factors of intestinal necrosis in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. Conclusions:The predicted risk factors for intestinal necrosis in mesenteric ischemic diseases are increased white blood cells, elevated serum lactate levels, and reduced or disappeared enhanced bowel wall on CT scan.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the etiology and treatment of acute intestinal obstruction.Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent operation for acute intestinal obstruction in Zhongshan Hospital from May 2012 to May 2017 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results 721 patients were included and the ratio of males to females was 1.55 ∶ 1.There were 48.8％ in old-aged group and 51.1％ in young-middle-aged group.The most common causes of ileus included tumor in 376 cases (51.5％),adhesion in 168 cases (23.3％),hernia in 70 cases (9.7％),intraluminal obstruction in 42 cases (5.8％) and others in 79 cases.There was a significant difference between incarcerated hernia in elderly group and middle-young-aged group (4.6％ vs.15.1％,x2 =22.4,P ＜ 0.01).The length of hospitalized days in patients with tumor and incarcerated hernia in elderly group were significantly longer than young-middle-aged patients [(15.3±8.6)d vs.(13.4±6.3)d,t =-2.5,P＜0.05;(10.1 ± 6.7) d vs.(6.4 ± 2.9) d,t =-2.2,P ＜ 0.05].The length of hospitalized days by limited operation in patients with tumor were significantly shorter than those by emergency operation [(16 ± 12)d vs.(18 ± 24) d,t =-0.3,P ＞ 0.05].Conclusion Tumor and adhesion are the main causes of acute intestinal obstruction.Neoplastic bowel obstruction from small intestine or proximal colon requires emergency surgery.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate cachexia in hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer and evaluate its impact on clinical outcomes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>By analyzing the clinical data of 5118 hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2012 to December 2013, cachexia was investigated and clinical outcomes between cachexia patients and non-cachexia patients was compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The total cachexia rate of hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer was 15.7%(803/5118). The highest rate of cachexia was 34.0%(89/262) in patients with pancreatic cancer followed by gastric cancer 22.4%(261/1164), colon cancer 21.7%(146/672), and rectal cancer 20.1%(117/581). In cachexia group and non-cachexia group, the overall completion rate of radical resection was 67.1%(539/803) and 74.5%(3214/4315) respectively(P<0.05). Compared to the non-cachexia group, the cachexia group was associated with longer postoperative hospital stay [(11.5±6.2) d vs. (9.4±4.9) d, P<0.05], slower postoperative recovery of bowel function [(3.4±0.9) d vs. (3.2±0.8) d, P<0.05], longer postoperative time to intake of semifluid [(4.4±1.5) d vs. (3.9±1.1) d, P<0.05], and more postoperative complications within 28 days after radical surgery [8.9%(48/539) vs. 5.8%(186/3214), P<0.05]. After radical surgery, the ICU admission rate of the cachexia group [24.3%(131/539)] was higher than that of the non-cachexia group [20.1%(646/3214)] with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared to non-cachexia group, the reoperation rate [3.2%(17/539) vs. 1.5%(48/3214), P<0.05], ventilator support rate [8.0%(43/539)vs. 5.7%(184/3214), P<0.05] and mortality [2.4%(13/539) vs. 1.1%(35/3214), P<0.05] in the cachexia group were all significantly higher(all P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Cachexia is commen in patients with digestive system cancer. Cachexia has significant adverse effects on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with digestive system cancer.</p>
