Abnormal uterine bleeding with ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) is a common reproductive endocrine disease with complex and variable clinical manifestations. This disease has a long course and large individual differences. Difficulties in diagnosis and treatment and nonstandardized management are common in primary hospitals. In order to improve the diagnosis and treatment efficiency of AUB-O in primary hospitals, the gynecological endocrinologists in western China proposed this primary diagnosis and treatment norms and referral recommendations for gynecological outpatient clinics in primary hospitals, including the key points of diagnosis, hemostasis and cycle adjustment strategies, adjuvant treatment, and the principle of two-way referral. In particular, individualized treatment recommendations were proposed for young adolescents and menopausal transition patients. This recommendations are expected to serve as an important reference for AUB-O diagnosis, treatment and two-way referral of primary hospitals in western China.
Severe trauma is a challenging medical problem. Uncontrolled post-traumatic hemorrhage and traumatic coagulation dysfunction are closely related to the prognosis of these patients. In May 2019, the pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma published the fifth edition of the European guideline on management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following trauma. To assist Chinese in better understanding of the latest developments, this paper translated the main treatment recommendations in the guideline and interpreted the updated content from the fourth edition.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of CT related to esophageal varices of cirrhotic patients complicated with portal hypertension.MethodsRelevant CT literatures of esophageal varices of cirrhotic patients complicated with portal hypertension were collected to make an review,then summarized the research status and progress of CT in the diagnosis and evaluation of lower esophageal varices.ResultCT had a good correlation with endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal varices, and CT was of great value in evaluating the presence, degree, and risk of esophageal varicose veins, especially in predicting the risk of esophageal varicose veins, which could be used as an effective modality to assist endoscopic examination to a certain extent.ConclusionsCT is an important examination method for esophageal varices, which has important value in diagnosis and evaluation. In the future, more further researches can be carried out to provide more strong and accurate support for the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal varices.
ObjectiveTo examine the intrauterine residual tissue in patients with prolonged vaginal bleeding after drug abortion by both B-ultrasound and pathology through cleaning the remnant of uterine, in order to investigate the relationship between prolonged vaginal bleeding after medical abortion with mifepristone and the residual tissues (decidua/villi).
MethodsBetween June and December 2011, 144 patients with vaginal bleeding after medical abortion were involved in the study. B-ultrasound and pathology through cleaning the remnant of uterine were adopted to study the residual tissue respectively.
ResultsBased on the ultrasound results, the difference in residual tissues was statistically significant between patients with bleeding for 15 days or shorter and patients with bleeding for more than 15 days (P<0.05). The pathological results showed that the difference in decidua and villi on the residual tissues was not statistically significant between patients with bleeding for 15 days or shorter and patients with bleeding for more than 15 days (P>0.05).
ConclusionAfter drug abortion, the prolonged vaginal bleeding was correlated with intrauterine residual tissues, and was not correlated with whether the residual tissue was villi or decidua.
Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of proton pump inhibitor （PPI） and H2RA for stress ulcer bleeding in stroke patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials （RCT） were identified from MEDLINE （ 1966- Oct. 2005 ） ,EMBASE （ 1984- Oct. 2005 ）, The Cochrane Library （ Issue 4,2005 ）, CBMdisc （ 1980- Oct. 2005 ） and VIP（ 1980- Oct. 2005 ）. We handsearched the related published and unpublished data and their references. The quality of included trials was evaluated. Data were extracted by two reviewers independently with a designed extraction form. RevMan 4. 2.7 software was used for data analysis. Results Twenty RCT were included with 2 624 patients. The results of meta-analysis were listed as follows： （1） stress ulcer bleeding （SUB） ： PPI （ OR 0.14,95% CI 0.08 to 0.24, NNT = 3 ） and H2RA （OR 0.24,95% CI 0.15 to 0.39, NNT =5） significantly reduced the incidence of SUB in comparison with control group. PPI significantly reduced the incidence of SUB compared with H2R.A（P 〈0. 00001 ）. （2） Mortality： PPI （OR 0.22,95% CI 0. 11 to 0.47, NNT =8） and H2RA （OR 0.53,95% CI 0. 34 to 0.81, NNT =16） significantly decreased the mortality compared with non-prophylaxis group. PPI significantly decreased the mortality compared with H2RA （OR 0.28,95% CI 0.09 to 0. 89）. （3） Adverse effect： There were not evident adverse effects in both PPI and H2RA groups. Conclusions PPI and H2RA may reduce the incidence and mortality of SUB in stroke patients, and PPls are better in reducing incidence of SUB than H2RA.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and respiratory failure in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and recent prognosis.
MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 73 patients with COPD and respiratory failure treated from February 2009 to May 2011. The patients were assigned to the observing group (n=33) and control group (n=40). General characteristics, improvement rates, mortality rates, lengths of hospital stay, endotracheal tube rates and arrhythmia rates were compared between the two groups.
ResultsAge, sex, and medical history of the patients were similar in both groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the improvement rate was lower (P<0.001), the mortality rate (P<0.001), length of hospital stay (P<0.001), endotracheal tube rate (P<0.05) and arrhythmia rate (P<0.05) were all higher in the observing group after treatment.
ConclusionUpper gastrointestinal bleeding is a high risk factor for short-term prognosis patients with COPD and respiratory failure.
Objective To discuss the common clinical problems and make the individualized treatment for a patient with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding by means of evidence-based medicine, so as to ultimately control the symptoms and reduce the mortality. Methods After the clinical problems were put forward, the systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were collected in The Cochrane Library (online), MEDLINE, EMBase, SCIE and CNKI databases, from the date of their establishment to 2010. The treatment protocol was made by combining the assessment of evidence with the willingness of both patient and relatives. Results A total of 30 RCTs and 5 systematic reviews were identified. A rational diagnostic and therapeutic plan was made upon a serious evaluation of the data and willingness of patients. The Mickel’s diverticulum was found through capsule endoscopy, which was then locally excised under laparoscopy. After a 6-month follow-up, the plan proved to be optimal. Conclusion The treatment efficacy in diagnosed obscure gastrointestinal bleeding has been improved by adopting an individualized treatment plan according to evidence-based methods.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of unconventional abdominal drainage after laparoscopic hepatectomy.MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of patients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver tumors in the Mianyang Central Hospital from June to December 2019 and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively collected. Based on whether drainage tube was placed in the abdominal cavity during operation, the patients were divided into non-catheterized group (without drainage tube) and catheterized group (with drainage tube). The intraoperative data and postoperative complications (e.g. intraabdominal hemorrhage, bile leakage, abdominal infection, and liver failure) were compared between the two groups. Then, the intraoperative data and postoperative conditions of liver cancer and non-liver cancer patients with or without abdominal drainage tube were compared and analyzed.ResultsA total of 117 eligible patients were included in the study. The non-catheterized group had 59 patients and the catheterized group had 58 patients. The patients with liver cancer had 84 patients (44 non-catheterized patients and 40 catheterized patients) and the patients without liver cancer had 33 patients (15 non-catheterized patients and 18 catheterized patients). ① On the whole, the groups were comparable in the baseline data between the non-catheterized group and the catheterized group, such as gender, age, HBV infection, body mass index, hepatic function index, liver stiffness value, disease category, etc. (P>0.05). Compared with the catheterized group, the non-catheterized group had earlier off-bed activities and earlier flatus time (P<0.001), and shorter postoperative hospital stay (P=0.030). However, no statistically significant differences were found in other indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). ② Whether the patients had liver cancer or not, the non-catheterized patients still had earlier off-bed activities and earlier flatus time as compared with the catheterized patients (P<0.001). Among the patients with liver cancer, no difference was found in postoperative hospital stay. However, among the patients without liver cancer, the non-catheterized patients had shorter postoperative hospital stay than the catheterized patients (P=0.042). No statistically significant differences were found in other indicators between the catheterized patients and non-catheterized patients (P>0.05).ConclusionFor technologically skilled laparoscopic hepatectomy center, selectively not placing peritoneal drainage tube after surgery might better promote the health of patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the hemostasis effect of compression dressing therapy after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
MethodThirty-four patients undergoing unilateral THA between December 2014 and March 2015 were randomly divided into observation group (compression dressing group, n=17) and control group (ordinary dressing group, n=17) . There was no significant difference in gender, age, height, weight, lesion hips, pathogeny, disease duration, and preoperative hemoglobin between 2 groups (P>0.05) . The total blood loss theoretical value, the postoperative drainage volume, the visible blood loss, the hidden blood loss, the total blood transfusion volume, the number of patients receiving blood transfusion, and the related complications were compared between 2 groups.
ResultsNo significant difference was found in operation time and hospitalization time between 2 groups (t=0.337, P=0.738; t=0.140, P=0.889) . The incisions healed by first intention in all patients. Six cases had incision subcutaneous hematoma in the control group, no incision subcutaneous hematoma occurred in the observation group (χ2=7.286, P=0.018) . No postoperative complications of wound superficial infection and venous thrombosis occurred in 2 groups. After operation, blood transfusion was given in 1 case of observation group and 7 cases of control group, showing significant difference (χ2=5.885, P=0.039) , and the total blood transfusion volume was 600 mL and 3 200 mL, respectively. There was no significant difference in preoperative blood volume and intraoperative blood loss between 2 groups (P>0.05) , but the total blood loss theoretical value, the postoperative drainage volume, the visible blood loss, and the hidden blood loss in observation group were significantly less than those in control group (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe compression dressing should be performed after THA because it can effectively reduce postoperative blood loss and the incidence of wound hematoma.
Objective To investigate the effect of emergency fast-track treatment on dangerous upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods Seventy-six patients who received traditional treatment between October 2020 and March 2021 were included in the traditional treatment group, and 82 patients who entered the emergency fast track for dangerous upper gastrointestinal bleeding between April 2021 and September 2021 were included in the fast-track treatment group. The patients in the traditional treatment group were treated with the traditional single-subject diagnosis and treatment mode, and the patients in the fast-track treatment group were treated according to the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment procedures of emergency fast track for dangerous upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The length of emergency stay, 24-hour endoscopic completion rate, effective rate, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results The length of emergency stay [(3.75±3.19) vs. (6.51±4.72) h], the effective rate (96.3% vs. 85.5%) and the length of hospital stay [(8.26±2.51) vs. (11.07±2.79) d] were significantly better in the fast-track group than those in the traditional treatment group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the 24-hour endoscopic completion rate between the two groups (96.3% vs. 96.1%, P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with the traditional treatment mode, the fast-track treatment mode can significantly improve the treatment efficiency, and reduce the lengths of emergency stay and hospital stay.
