ObjectiveTo evaluate the short- and mid-term outcomes of sequential anastomosis and simple anastomosis of saphenous vein in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.MethodsThe clinical data of 438 patients who underwent sequential anastomosis of saphenous vein and 165 patients who underwent simple anastomosis of saphenous vein from 2015 to 2018 in Daxing Teaching Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. After propensity score matching, 130 pairs of patients were included in the sequential anastomosis group [78 males and 52 females, aged 60 (52, 68) years] and simple anastomosis group [80 males and 50 females, aged 61 (52, 70) years]. The short- and mid-term clinical outcomes were compared.ResultsThe two propensity score-matched groups had similar baseline clinical data. No significant difference was found between sequential anastomosis and simple anastomosis groups in the in-hospital outcomes, including in-hospital death (1.5% vs. 1.5%, P=1.000), the incidence of complications (4.6% vs. 6.2%, P>0.05), and the mean flow of grafts (30.0±11.8 mL/min vs. 28.0±9.5 mL/min, P=0.597). The operation time of the sequential anastomosis group was shorter than that of the simple anastomosis group (142.5±21.2 min vs. 186.3±27.6 min, P<0.001). The drainage of the sequential anastomosis group was less than that of the simple anastomosis group (204.7±39.6 mL vs. 271.3±48.3 mL, P<0.001). The follow-up time was 12-60 (28.3±8.9) months, during which the mortality of the two groups was not statistically different (3.2% vs. 4.0%, P=0.796).ConclusionThe saphenous vein sequential anastomosis of saphenous vein is superior to the simple anastomosis. Sequential anastomosis technique can reduce aortic anastomosis, shorten operation time, and reduce bleeding drainage during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. The short- and mid- term clinical effects are satisfactory.
ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of sequential method pure single-port lumpectomy-breast conserving surgery (SMPSL-BCS) in treating early-stage breast cancer patients with tumors in different quadrants. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 early-stage breast cancer female patients admitted between January 2023 and December 2023. According to the quadrant where the tumor was located, the patients were allocated into the upper outer quadrant group (UO group), lower outer quadrant group (LO group), upper inner quadrant group (UI group), and lower inner quadrant group (LI group), with 50 cases in each group. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the baseline data, including age, body mass index, smoking history, marital status, comorbidities, affected breast side, maximum tumor diameter on ultrasound, maximum pathological tumor diameter, clinical tumor stage, molecular subtype, and disease duration. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and extubation time were recorded and compared between groups. Additionally, the occurrence of early-stage complications (1-3 months after operation; including subcutaneous fluid accumulation, incision infection, superficial skin burns) and late-stage complications (>3 months after operation; including pectoralis major muscle adhesion, changes in breast appearance and shape, sensory discomfort) were assessed. At 6 months after operation, the cosmetic outcome of breast-conserving surgery was rated for all groups. Results The UO group had the shortest operation time, followed by the UI group, LO group, and LI group, showing significant differences between groups (P<0.05). The UO group had the least intraoperative blood loss, followed by the LO group, UI group, and LI group; except for the difference between UO group and LO group, which was not significant (P>0.05), the differences between the other groups were significant (P<0.05). The UO group had the least postoperative drainage volume, followed by the LO group, UI group, and LI group; except for the difference between LO group and UI group, which was not significant (P>0.05), the differences between the other groups were significant (P<0.05). The extubation time of the LI group was significantly longer than that of the other groups (P<0.05). All patients were followed up 4-12 months, with an average of 8 months. And 193 patients were followed up more than 6 months, including 48 patients in UO group, 47 in LO group, 49 in UI group, and 49 in LI group. In the early-stage period, the LI group had a higher incidence of subcutaneous fluid accumulation after tube removal compared to the UO group and LO group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the incidences of other early complications between groups (P>0.05). In the late-stage period, the LI group had significantly higher incidences of pectoralis major muscle adhesion and changes in breast appearance and shape than UO group and LO group (P<0.05), and a significantly higher incidence of sensory discomfort than UO group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidences of other late-stage complications between groups (P>0.05). At 6 months after operation, the cosmetic outcomes of breast-conserving surgery were significantly better in UO group, LO group, and UI group than in LI group (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between the other groups (P>0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of early-stage breast cancer using SMPSL-BCS, patients with tumors located in the upper outer quadrant show the best effectiveness. The effectivenesses are similar for patients with tumors in the lower outer and upper inner quadrants. However, patients with tumors in the lower inner quadrant do not experience significant advantages. Therefore, it is recommended that SMPSL-BCS should not be the first-choice surgical method for patients with tumors in the lower inner quadrant.
The sample size of a meta-analysis should not be less than a single randomized controlled trial. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) can provide required information size and monitoring boundary to justify the conclusion of meta-analysis. However, the TSA software is only suitable for binary and continuous data, and it cannot analyze the time-to-event data. This paper aimed to introduce how to analyze the time-to-event data using TSA approach.
ObjectiveTo describe the effect of sequential pulmonary balloon angioplasty for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, who was accompanied with progressed pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy surgeries.MethodsFrom 2014 to December 2017, 7 patients were treated with a combination therapy of pulmonary endarterectomy and sequential pulmonary balloon angioplasty. There were 1 male and 6 females at age of 58 (43–59) years. A follow-up period of more than 1 year was accomplished. The result of right sided heart catheterization and ultrasonic cardiogram between and after the pulmonary endarterectomy or balloon angioplasty was collected.ResultsSeven patients were treated with a combination of pulmonary endarterectomy and sequential pulmonary balloon angioplasty, which included 1 patient of single pulmonary balloon angioplasty and 6 patients of multiple pulmonary balloon angioplasties. The balloon dilation times was 2 (2–6), and the number of segments during each single balloon dilatation was 3–5, compared with the first clinical results before the first balloon dilation, systolic pulmonary artery pressure [53 (47–75) mm Hg vs. 45 (40–54) mm Hg, P=0.042), mean pulmonaryartery pressure [38 (29–47) mm Hg vs. 29 (25–39) mm Hg, P=0.043], N terminal-B type natriuretic peptide [1 872 (1 598–2 898) pg/ml vs. 164 (72–334) pg/ml, P=0.018] improved significantly after the last balloon angioplasty. Heart function classification (NYHA) of all the 7 patients were recovered to Ⅰ-Ⅱclasses (P<0.05).ConclusionSequential pulmonary balloon angioplasty after pulmonary endarterectomy can further reduce the patient's right heart after load, improve the heart function for patients with progressed pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy surgeries.
Trial sequential analysis (TSA) can identify inclusive results of apparently conclusive of meta-analyses by providing require information size and monitoring boundary. Certain methods of calculating information size are existed. Our objective was to give a brief introduction of four methods to help readers to better perform TSA in making meta-analyses.
Objective
To investigate the clinical significance of lateral position ventilation in the treatment of invasive ventilation in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
Methods
From October 2014 to December 2016, 60 eligible patients with AECOPD who meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=30) or a control group (n=30). Expectorant, antiasthmatic, anti-infective, invasive ventilation, bronchoscopy, analgesic sedation, invasive-noninvasive sequential ventilation, nutritional support, intensive care and other treatment were conducted in two groups, but lateral position ventilation was subsequently performed in the intervention group and the control group used half lateral position. Outcome measurements included pH, PaO2/FiO2, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (R) and air way resistance (Raw) before and one day after invasive ventilation, and duration of control of pulmonary infection (PIC), invasive mechanic ventilation (IMV), mechanic ventilation (MV) and intensive care unit (ICU) stay.
Results
Compared with before ventilation, the levels of PaO2/FiO2, PaCO2, HR, R and Raw were significantly changed in two groups after ventilation (P<0.05). One day later after ventilation, pH [interventionvs. control: (7.43±0.07) vs. (7.37±0.11)], PaO2/FiO2[(253.52±65.33) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) vs. (215.46±58.72) mm Hg] and PaCO2 [(52.45±7.15) mm Hg vs. (59.39±8.44) mm Hg] were statistically significant (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in HR, R or Raw between two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, PIC [(3.7±1.4) daysvs. (5.3±2.2) days], IMV [(4.0±1.5) days vs. (6.1±3.0) days], MV [(4.7±2.0) days vs. (7.3±3.7) days] and ICU stay [(6.2±2.1) days vs. (8.5±4.2) days] were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the intervention group.
Conclusions
In AECOPD patients, invasive ventilation using lateral position ventilation can significantly improve arterial blood gas index, decrease Raw, shorten the time of PIC, IMV, MV and ICU stay.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of debridement-vacuum sealing drainage (VSD)-modified external fixation antibiotic-impregnated cement semi-open technique in treatment of chronic ulcer wounds. MethodsClinical data of 43 patients with chronic ulcer wounds who met the selection criteria and admitted between January 2019 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 23 cases were treated with debridement-VSD-modified external fixation antibiotic-impregnated cement semi-open technique (improved group), and 20 cases were treated with debridement-VSD-traditional antibiotic-impregnated cement technique (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, constituent ratio of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, constituent ratio of patients with smoking history, body mass index, wound site, and other baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). The healing quality and healing time, the positive rate of bacterial culture after bone cement coating, the loosening rate of bone cement, the number of operations, the number of hospitalizations, the length of hospitalization, and the cost of hospitalization were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the positive rate of bacterial culture after bone cement coating and the loosening rate of bone cement in the improved group was significantly lower, as well as the number of operations, the number of hospitalizations, the length of hospitalization, and hospitalization cost significantly reduced (P<0.05). Wound repair was completed in both groups without amputation. The wound healing quality of the improved group was better than that of the control group and the wound healing time was shorter, the differences were significant (P<0.05). All patients were followed up 1-5 years (mean 3.4 years), and no ulcers recurred during follow-up. ConclusionDebridement-VSD-modified external fixation antibiotic-impregnated cement semi-open technique in the treatment of chronic ulcer wounds can effectively reduce the loosening rate of bone cement, facilitate the induced membrane formation and wound healing, and significantly reduce the number of operations and shorten the length of hospital stay.
Objective To detect the false-negative results of cumulative meta-analyses of Cochrane Urology Group with the trial sequential analysis (TSA). Methods The Urology Group of The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2016) was searched to collect meta-analyses with negative results. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data of included meta-analyses. Then, TSA was performed using TSA software version 0.9 beta. Results A total of 11 papers involving 12 meta-analyses were included. The results of TSA showed that, four (33%) out of 12 meta-analyses were potentially false-negative results for failing to surpass the trial sequential monitoring boundary and to reach the required information size. Conclusion Some of the negative results of systematic reviews from Cochrane Urology Group was false-negative. TSA can help researchers to identify the false-negative results of meta-analyses.
The robustness of results of statistical analysis would be altered on the condition of repeated update of traditional meta-analysis and cumulative meta-analysis. In addition, the cumulative meta-analysis lacks estimation of the sample size. While trail sequential analysis (TSA), which introduces group sequential analysis in meta-analysis, can adjust the random error and ultimately estimate the required sample size of the systematic review or meta-analysis. TSA is performed in TSA software. In the present study, we aimed to introduce how to use the TSA software for performing meta-analysis.
