OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on anus wound healing. METHODS: From April 1996 to December 2000, out of 109 patients with anus trauma, hemorrhoidectomy or fistula resection, 68 were treated with bFGF as the experimental group, while 41 were treated routinely as the control group. The healing of the wound, the general and local reaction were observed. RESULTS: The healing time of the experimental group was(17.00 +/- 1.54) days while that of the control group was(20.00 +/- 1.16) days (P lt; 0.01). Three weeks after operation, the healing rates of the experimental and control groups were 97.1% and 87.8%, respectively (P lt; 0.01). No general or local detrimental reactions were found in two groups. CONCLUSION: Local application of bFGF can accelerate the healing of anus wound, and the patients have little pain.
ObjectiveTo investigate the expressions of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) in local tissues of perianal abscess and their relationships with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.MethodsA total of 47 patients with perianal abscess (perianal abscess group) and 58 patients with mixed hemorrhoids (mixed hemorrhoids group) were selected for the study. The tissues were collected during the operation. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of SDF-1 mRNA and CXCR4 mRNA in local tissues of the two groups, the positive expressions of SDF-1 protein and CXCR4 protein in local tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationships between the expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein and the clinical characteristics, prognosis of patients were analyzed.ResultsThe expression levels of SDF-1 mRNA and CXCR4 mRNA in the perianal abscess group were higher than those in the mixed hemorrhoids group, and the positive rates of SDF-1 protein and CXCR4 protein in the perianal abscess group were higher than those in the mixed hemorrhoids group too (P<0.05). The expressions of SDF-1 protein and CXCR4 protein in perianal abscess tissues were both not related to sex, age, location of abscess, and course of disease (P>0.05), but was related to abscess diameter, healing time, and anal fistula (P<0.05). The non-recurrence rates of SDF-1 protein-negative group and CXCR4 protein-negative group were lower than those of SDF-1 protein-positive group and CXCR4 protein-positive group respectively (P<0.05).ConclusionSDF-1 and CXCR4 molecular are up-regulated in the local tissues of perianal abscess, which are related to the size of abscess, healing time, anal fistula, and recurrence of patients.
Objective
To evaluate the clinical effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology in the treatment of high perianal abscess.
Methods
A total of 38 cases of high perianal abscess who underwent surgery in our hospital from May. 2014 to Feb. 2016 were randomly divided into 2 groups: the VSD group (n=19) and the control group (n=19). The cases of VSD group were performed with closure of internal orifice+VSD technique, and the cases of control group were treated with radical operation of perianal abscess (low incision combined with high thread operation). The following indexes of cases in 2 groups were compared and analyzed, including postoperative pain score, wound healing time, postoperative anal function score, and prognosis.
Results
There were significant differences in pain score (3.53±0.70vs. 5.11±0.74), postoperative anal function score (0vs. 1), and wound healing time〔(27.58±4.95) dvs. (44.68±6.53) d〕between VSD group and control group,P<0.05. Compared with the control group, the pain score and anal function score of the VSD group were both lower, and the wound healing time was shorter. However, there was no statistically significant difference in incidence of fistula between the two groups〔5.3% (1/19)vs. 15.8% (3/19),P=0.60〕.
Conclusion
In the treatment of high perianal abscess, VSD technology can relieve pain in patients, shorten the wound healing time, protect the anal function, and the prognosis is as well as low incision combined with high thread operation, so VSD is a better treatment method for high perianal abscess.
