C1 and C2 were normal in group A, only C2 normal in group B, only C1 normal in group C, neither was normal in group D). Arterial blood pressure (BP) before operation and 8 min after induction were monitored and recorded. Results: Patients with dysfunction of arterial elasticity presented higher MAP during preoperation and significant BP changes after induction. Conclusion: Hypertension plays a key role in arterial elasticity.Arterial Blood Pressure of the senile patients with decreased arterial elasticity changes significantly after general anesthesia induction.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of the repair and reconstruction of large talar lesions with three-dimensional (3D) printed talar components by biomechanical test.MethodsSix cadaveric ankle specimens were used in this study and taken CT scan and reconstruction. Then, 3D printed talar component and osteotomy guide plate were designed and made. After the specimen was fixed on an Instron mechanical testing machine, a vertical pressure of 1 500 N was applied to the ankle when it was in different positions (neutral, 10° of dorsiflexion, and 14° of plantar flexion). The pressure-bearing area and pressure were measured and calculated. Then osteotomy on specimen was performed and 3D printed talar components were implanted. And the biomechanical test was performed again to compare the changes in pressure-bearing area and pressure.ResultsBefore the talar component implantation, the pressure-bearing area of the talus varied with the ankle position in the following order: 10° of dorsiflexion > neutral position > 14° of plantar flexion, showing significant differences between positions ( P<0.05). The pressure exerted on the talus varied in the following order: 10° of dorsiflexion < neutral position < 14° of plantar flexion, showing significant differences between positions (P<0.05). The pressure-bearing area and pressure were not significantly different between before and after talar component implantations in the same position (P>0.05). The pressure on the 3D printed talar component was not significantly different from the overall pressure on the talus (P>0.05).ConclusionApplication of the 3D printed talar component can achieve precise repair and reconstruction of the large talar lesion. The pressure on the repaired site don’t change after operation, indicating the clinical feasibility of this approach.
To investigate the cause of septicemia in patients with obstructive jaundice,the correlationship between intra-biliary tract pressure(IBTP),portal veinous flow rate(PVFR)and interleukin-2(IL-2),soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R),T lymphocyte subpopulation in patient with obstructive jaundice(Group A)has been studied.Group A was subdivided into A1,emergency operation group;A2,elective surgery group;A3,patient’s age over 60 years and A4,age under 60.Ninety patients with simple gallstone(Group B)were also tested as a contrast.The result showed that of all Group A,CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ before operation were much lower than those 10 days after operation(Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01),while the postoperative sIL-2R was significantly higher than that of 10 days after operation(Plt;0.01),in Group A1,emergency surgery,the preoperative sIL-2R was much more higher than that in others of the jaundice group(Plt;0.01).Corralation analysis showed IBTP was negatively corralated to IL-2,CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,but it had positive correlation with sIL-2R(Plt;0.01).PVFR was positively correlated to IL-2(Plt;0.01).These indicate that obstructive jaundice with infection is closely related to the decreased host immunity.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) in Post-extubation acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients. MethodsThe Domestic and foreign databases were searched for all published available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about HFNC therapy in post-extubation AECOPD patients. The experimental group was treated with HFNC, while the control group was treated with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). The main outcome measurements included reintubation rate. The secondary outcomes measurements included oxygenation index after extubation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, mortality, comfort score and adverse reaction rate. Meta-analysis was performed by Revman 5.3 software. ResultA total of 20 articles were enrolled. There were 1516 patients enrolled, with 754 patients in HFNC group, and 762 patients in control group. The results of Meta-analysis showed that there were no significant difference in reintubation rate [RR=1.41, 95%CI 0.97 - 2.07, P=0.08] and mortality [RR=0.91, 95%CI 0.58 - 1.44, P=0.69]. Compared with NIPPV, HFNC have advantages in 24 h oxygenation index after extubation [MD=4.66, 95%CI 0.26 - 9.05, P=0.04], length of ICU stay [High risk group: SMD –0.52, 95%CI –0.74 - –0.30; Medium and low risk group: MD –1.12, 95%CI –1.56- –0.67; P<0.00001], comfort score [MD=1.90, 95%CI 1.61 - 2.19, P<0.00001] and adverse reaction rate [RR=0.22, 95%CI 0.16 - 0.31, P<0.00001]. ConclusionsCompared with NIPPV, HFNC could improve oxygenation index after extubation, shorten the length of ICU stay, effectively improve Patient comfort, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions and it did not increase the risk of reintubation and mortality. It is suggested that HFNC can be cautiously tried for sequential treatment of AECOPD patients after extubation, especially those who cannot tolerate NIPPV.
ObjectiveTo investigate the perioperative hemodynamic changes of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) patients monitored by pulse recorded analysis method (MostCare/PRAM devices) and its relationship with the prognosis.MethodsA total of 89 patients who underwent OPCABG from October 2016 to January 2017 in Beiijng Anzhen Hospital were included, including 53 males and 36 females aged 60.50±8.40 years. The hemodynamic changes were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups (a major adverse cardiovascular events group and a stable group) according to whether major adverse cardiovascular events occurred or not. The difference of hemodynamic changes between the two groups was analysed.ResultsThe mean percentage increases of stroke volume (SV) in the passive leg raising (PLR) test before opening chest and after chest closure were 23.00%±3.20% and 29.40%±3.70%, respectively. Hemodynamic data were analysed seven times, namely, anaesthesia, opening chest, heparin administration, coronary artery bypass grafting, protamine administration, thoracic closure and after operation. SV was significantly decreased during above periods, while systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) was significantlyincreased. Cardiac circle efficiency (CCE) and maximum pressure gradient (dP/dT) were decreased after anaesthesia, and decreased to the lowest value during the procedure of bypass grafting, and then they began to increase gradually after the manipulation of bypass grafting was finished. Stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) were slightly decreased during anaesthesia, then increased significantly through the whole surgery. Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 9 patients and 4 of them died. The basic mean values of SVRI, SVV and PPV of patients in the major adverse cardiovascular events group before opening chest were significantly higher than those of patients in the stable group. There was no significant difference in the mean values of CCE, dP/dT or SV between the two groups. There was no significant correlation between the prognosis and the mean values of SVRI, SVV, PPV, CCE, dP/dT or SV.ConclusionThe hemodynamic indexes are not stable, thus, it is necessary to monitor the perioperative hemodynamic changes of OPCABG patients timely by MostCare/PRAM device and adjust treatment measures accordingly.
Objective
To investigate the effects of autologous platelet-rich gel (APG) combined with intelligent trauma negative-pressure comprehensive therapeutic instrument on patients with refractory diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Methods
A total of 80 patients with refractory DFU treated in the hospital from January 2015 to January 2017 were divided into the trial group (n=40) and the control group (n=40) by the random number table method. The patients in the two groups were given routine treatment, and on the basis, the patients in the control group were treated with the intelligent trauma negative-pressure comprehensive therapeutic instrument while the ones in the trial group were treated with APG combined with intelligent trauma negative-pressure therapeutic instrument alternately. All patients were observed for 12 weeks. The cure rates, healing time and changes of wound volumes in the two groups before treatment and at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment were recorded.
Results
The total effective rate of treatment in the trial group was higher than that in the control group (87.5% vs. 67.5%, P<0.05). The wound volumes in the two groups at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after treatment were smaller than those before treatment and at 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The wound volumes in the trial group at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after treatment were significantly smaller than those in the control group (P<0.05). The healing times of Wagner Ⅱ and Ⅲ DFU in the trial group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(24.71±4.29)vs. (33.84±6.09) days, P<0.05; (33.04±5.97)vs. (45.29±7.05) days, P<0.05].
Conclusion
Alternate treatment with APG combined with intelligent trauma negative-pressure comprehensive therapeutic instrument for refractory DFU can promote wound healing, shorten wound healing time, and improve the clinical efficacy.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of the endoexpander pressure of continuous and constant pressure expansion on the drug permeability. METHODS The expanders were divided into two groups, the normal expansion and the continuous and constant pressure expansion (4.6 kPa). Each expander was filled with 0.2% Metronidazole, then the expanders were immersed wholly in normal saline and sealed totally. At several intervals over 72 hours, the surrounding saline was sampled and the drug concentration of the sample was measured respectively. RESULTS Both groups were permeable to the Metronidazole and the concentration outside the expander would reach the effective concentration in 48 hours. The drug concentration of the continuous and constant pressure expansion was higher than that of the normal one and there was significant difference between the two groups (P lt; 0.01). CONCLUSIO The endoexpander pressure in continuous and constant pressure expansion can enhance the drug permeability. In view of this, in the course of continuous and constant pressure expansion, 0.2% Metronidazole can be used to prevent and control the infection.
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of home noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (HNPPV) on patients with severe stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China. Methods Systematic literature search was performed in Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, WanFang Data, VIP Database, Chinese National knowledge Infrastructure databases from inception to January 2018. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported comparison of the efficacy of HNPPV on patients with severe stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were included. All related data were extracted. Meta-analysis was conducted using the statistical software RevMan 5.3 on the basis of strict quality evaluation. Results A total of 767 patients from 14 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The combined results showed that, compared with the control group, HNPPV could significantly reduce the mortality (relative risk 0.51, 95%CI 0.33 – 0.78, P=0.002) and PaCO2 ［weighted mean difference (MD) –10.78, 95%CI –13.17 – –8.39, P<0.000 01］ of patients, improve the levels of PaO2 (MD 7.84, 95%CI 5.81 – 9.87, P<0.000 01), FEV1 (MD 0.13, 95%CI 0.08 – 0.18, P<0.000 01), and the quality of life (MD –6.27, 95% CI –9.04 – –3.51, P<0.000 01). Conclusion HNPPV can reduce the mortality of patients, improve the gas exchange, pulmonary function and the quality of life, but more large sample, high-quality, and multicenter RCT studies are needed.
Objective
To explore impact of climate change on aortic dissection and to put forward a new way about prediction and prevention of aortic dissection.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of acute aortic dissection patients came from Hebei province in Fuwai Hospital between 2010 and 2016 year. Meanwhile, we collected monthly maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, average pressure, amount of rainfall, sunshine, humidity and other meteorological data. Generalized model was implied to explore climate change and the incidence of aortic dissection.
Results
A total of 1 121 acute aortic dissection patients from Hebei province were admitted in Fuwai Hospital during the period of 6 years. There were 774 patients were type A aortic dissection, and 347 patients were type B aortic dissection. The average age was 51.4±12.0 years. There were 873 males and 248 females. There were 889 (79.3%) patients with hypertension, 99 (8.83%) with Marfan syndrome. It was found that temperature, humidity and air pressure were all statistically significant for indication aortic dissection through single variable analysis (P<0.01). The temperature was only variable by one-way analysis of variance (P<0.01). The lowest temperature has the best predictive effect on the occurrence of aortic dissection. The relative risk was 1.02 with 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.03.
Conclusion
The change of climatic conditions can affect the occurrence of aortic dissection, and the lowest temperature is an important trigger factor for aortic dissection onset.
