Comparison of the clinical efficacy of "one-cut" circumcision and traditional circumcision / 现代泌尿外科杂志

【Objective】 To introduce the key techniques of "one-cut" circumcision, and to compare its clinical efficacy with traditional circumcision. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 cases of circumcision in our center during Jul.2020 and Jul.2022, including 60 cases in the "one-cut" group and 60 cases in the traditional circumcision group. The operation time, postoperative edema time, satisfaction with cosmetics and improvement of sexual life were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 Compared with the tradition group, the "one-cut" group had shorter operation time [(19.2±7.4) min vs. (23.1±1.7) min, P<0.001] , shorter postoperative edema time [(5.5±3.2) d vs. (9.6±5.5) d, P<0.001] , and higher satisfaction with cosmetics [(3.6±0.5) vs. (3.1±0.8), P<0.001)] , but there was no difference in improvement of sexual life between the two groups (P=0.08). 【Conclusion】 "One-cut" circumcision is easy to operate, with short operation time, fast postoperative recovery, neat incision and satisfactory appearance, which is worth popularizing.

Analysis of causes of graft loss in 135 kidney transplant recipients / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the causes of graft loss in kidney transplant recipients.@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 135 recipients with graft loss after renal transplantation in the Eighth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1, 2002 to January 1, 2022.@*RESULTS@#A total of 135 kidney transplant recipients experienced graft failure. The causes of graft loss included graft rejection (70 cases, 51.8%), death of the recipients with functional graft (37 cases, 27.4%), surgical complications (12 cases, 8.9%), drug toxicity (4 cases, 3.0%), carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection (4 cases, 3.0%), polyoma BK virus-related nephropathy (3 cases, 2.2%), primary nonfunctioning kidney (2 cases, 1.5%), recurrence of primary disease (2 cases, 1.5%), and prerenal acute renal failure (1 case, 0.7%).@*CONCLUSION@#The main cause of graft loss after renal transplantation is graft rejection, and the secondary cause is death of the recipient with functional graft, and other reasons can be rare.

Clinical comparison of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and surgical resection for Cimino-Brescia arteriovenous fistula stenosis in hemodialysis patients / 医学研究生学报

Objeetive As to the high incidence of arteriovenous fistula(AVF) stenosis,surgical operation will result in the exhaustion of vascular resources in patients,while percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) can maintain vascular resources for ostomy.However,there is still no clear definition between the choices of PTA and surgical resection.The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of PTA and surgical resection followed by reconstruction for the treatment of arteriovenous fistula stenosis in order to find appropriate treatment.Methods Retrospective analysis had been done on 46 hemodialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula stenosis in Nanjing BenQ hospital from January 2015 to March 2017,which included 22 cases treated with PTA (PTA group) and 24 cases treated with surgical operation (operation group).Comparison was made in general clinical situation,patency rate at six months after surgery,over patency time and adverse reactions to surgery between the two groups.Results The number of stenoses in PTA group was bigger than that in operation group and the difference was of statistic significance (2.78±1.43 vs 1.67±0.71,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in patency rate between the two groups (P =0.828).There were 57 venous stenoses in PTA group,among which 12 stenoses were anastomotic (21.05％) with 79.3％ average stenosis degree and 43 stenoses were at venous outflow tract of fistula (75.44％) with 84.26 average stenosis degree.In PTA group,3 patients had hematoma brachial puncture position and recovered by self-absorption without special treatment.In operation group,1 patient had mild blood oozing and recovered after treatment;4 patients recovered gradually from mild swelling on the back of the hand of the operation side.No difference was found in adverse reactions between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion PTA treatment is preferred for multiple stenoses(n ≥ 3),which ensures better preservation of vascular resources at a comparable patency rate.

Clinical application of stand-alone MC+PEEK cage in the anterior cervical fusion / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of clinical application of stand-alone MC+PEEK cage in anterior cervical fusion.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2011 to January 2014,50 patients were treated with the MC+PEEK cage filled with autogenous cancellous illic-bone graft after anterior cervical discectomy. There were 22 patients with cervical spondylosis,26 patients with traumatic cervical disc herniation, 2 patients with cervical instability in these patients. There were 32 males and 18 females, aged from 30 to 79 years old with an average of 53.30 years old. There were 32 patients with single segment, 15 patients with double segments and 3 patients with three segments. Cervical AP and lateral and the flexion-extension X-rays were regularly taken in order to assess the cervical physiological curvature, the graft fusion and internal fixation related complications. Nerve function, clinical effect and bone fusion were respectively evaluated according to Japan Orthopedic Association (JOA), Otani grade and Suk method.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients were followed up from 6 to 36 months with an average of 20 months. No correlated surgical complications were found and all patients obtained bony fusion with an average time of 4.30 months. JOA score had significantly improvement after surgery (P < 0.05). The JOA score was 10.60 ± 3.00 before surgery and 16.10 ± 2.20, 16.40 ± 2.35 at one week and six months after surgery respectively. According to Otani grade,40 cases got excellent results, 9 good, 1 fair. No significant dysphagia and internal fixation related complications such as displacement of cages were found during the follow-up period.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Using this cage in anterior cervical fusion can obtain satisfactory clinical effect with less operation injury and reduce the complications. It is a better fusion method in anterior cervical fusion.</p>
