Risk factors of surgical site infection in definitive surgery of intestinal fistulas / 中华胃肠外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI) in definitive surgery of intestinal fistulas.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients with gastrointestinal fistula undergoing definitive operation during November 2011 to November 2013 in Jinling Hospital were prospectively enrolled in the study. Risk factors of SSI were analyzed. Patients' characteristics, surgery-related data and fistula-related data were prospectively collected. Risk factors of SSI were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 191 cases were enrolled and 51 cases developed SSI. Univariate analysis showed that patients with risk index category (RIC)≥2, length of abdominal incisions>15 cm, and duration of drainage tubes>10 days had significantly higher incidence of SSI (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistics analysis demonstrated that RIC and duration of drainage tube were independent risk factors for SSI (P=0.02, P=0.01, respectively).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>RIC≥2 and duration of drainage tubes>10 days are independent risk factors for development of SSI.</p>

In vivo quantitative measurement of glutamate & glutamine in zelanian rabbits' muscle using MRS / 基础医学与临床

Objective Use MRS technology to detect in vivo Glx concentration of Zelanian rabbits' muscle.Methods Tweenty Zelanian rabbits are collected,SS-PRESS sequence is applied to check their Signal Ratio of Glx/TCr.After deta collection,draw blood and do the biopsy of the FOV's muscle tissue immediately.Mensurate the rabbits' blood Crn concentration,Glx and TCr concentration in muscle.Research the correlation between the above factors,attempt using the MRS Glx/TCr Signal Ratio and blood Crn concentration to predict muscular Glx concentration.Results The correlation between MRS Glx/TCr Peak Ratio and muscular Glx/blood Crn concentration ratio is 0.681.A linear regression formula is obtained: The predict Value of Glx concentration in muscle(?mol/g muscle)= Glx/TCr Peak Ratio ? Crn concentration in blood(mg/dl)?28.754-0.631.Conclusion Using a linear regression formula to predict the muscular Glx concentration,the results can reflect the level of the true values without biopsy,though it's not accurate enough for quantitatively analysis.
