ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of eversion carotid endarterectomy(eCEA)on the cog-nitive function in elderly carotid artery stenosis patients with different ages.Methods A total of 56 elderly patients undergoing eCEA in Department of Vascular Surgery of No.920 Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force from May 2019 to May 2022 were enrolled and divided into a 60-69 year old group(31 cases)and a 70-80 year old group(25 cases).Mini-mental state examination(MMSE)Scale was used to analyze the patients within 1 week before surgery and 1 and 6 months after surgery.Results In the 60-69 years old group,their MMSE scores in 1 and 6 months after surgery were significantly higher than those before surgery(24.71±3.67 vs 23.52±3.70,P＜0.05;25.48±3.19 vs 23.52±3.70,P＜0.01).For the 70-80 year old group,the MMSE score in 6 months after surgery was obviously higher than that before surgery and that in 1 month after sur-gery(25.44±3.42 vs 23.76±3.81,P＜0.01;25.44±3.42 vs 23.90±3.65,P＜0.01).The improve-ment of MMSE score between 1 month after surgery and before surgery was notably more obvi-ous in the 60-69 year old group than the 70-80 year old group,but the improvement between 6 months and 1 month after surgery was statistically declined in the 60-69 year old group than the 70-80 year old group(P＜0.05).Conclusion eCEA can significantly improve cognitive function in elderly patients with carotid artery stenosis,and obvious efficacy is observed in the early stage in the 60-69 years old patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the treatment effect of Shah Mette Lo/fluticasone inhalation(Seretide)for stable stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods 50 patients with COPD were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group was given Seretide (specifications of 250μg)1 -2 ceiling/time,2 times/day,after 24 weeks of treatment,the control group was given 2mg of regular salbutamol com-bined with budesonide 1mg atomization inhalation,2 times daily.The clinical symptoms were compared before and aftertreatment.Results In the treatment group,acute seizure frequency was significantly reduced,cough,wheezing singing decreased or disappeared,self -care ability improved,the control group had no obvious change.The control group:before treatment FEV1 (1.1 ±0.4)L;FEV1 % predicted value(22.5 ±5.1 )%;FEV1 /FVC%:(25.3 ±5.8)%;after treatment FEV1 (1.5 ±0.7)L;FEV1 % predicted value(29.4 ±6.2)%;FEV1 /FVC%:(32.8 ±6.6)%.The treatment group:before treatment FEV1 (1.1 ±0.6)L;FEV1 % predicted value (24.5 ±5.6)%;FEV1 /FVC%:(26.7 ±6.6)%;after treatment FEV1 (1.7 ±0.6)L;FEV1 % predicted value(33.4 ±7.8)%;FEV1 /FVC%:(37.8 ± 8.6)%.Conclusion In patients with stable COPD inhaled Seretide treatment can significantly improve lung func-tion,and it is better than sardine an alcohol combined with budesonide inhalation therapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the reason of necrosis for pedunculated skin flaps repaired after floor of the mouth defect repair.Methods 56 cases of pedunclated-flaps restoring the floor of the mouth from 1996 to 2001 were reviewed, and pedunclated-flap repair was performed after operation in 11 cases suffering from malignant tumors in the floor of the mouth, and 5 kinds of pedunculated flaps were compared.Results Five kinds of pedunculated flaps were used to reconstruct the floor of the mouth defects. Its successful sequence was as following: forehead flap, pectoralis major myocutaneous flap, sternocleidomastoid flaps,trapezius myocutaneous flaps, and subhyoid flap.Conclusions Causes of those flaps necrosis might relate to furnishing blood with supplied-flaps region and structure of anatomy in received-flaps region, also it is related to operater's skill.So the reason of repair failure of skin flaps with pedicle needs comprehensive analysis.
