Objective To evaluate the effect of regiono-perfusional chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to seek the management of its complications. MethodsThirty-six patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma received selectively intra-arterial catheterization and perfused with 5-Fu, ADM, DDP. Results Six patients had complete response, 15 partial response, and one underwent radical resection subsequently. Cmplications occurred in 14 patients with 2 patients died of complications.Conclusion Regiono-perfusional chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is effective, but the complications can not be neglected.
Conduit failure and conduit airway fistula are rare complications after esophagectomy, however they can be catastrophic resulting in high mortality. Survivors can expect a prolonged hospital course with multiple interventions and an extended period of time prior to being able to resume oral nutrition. High index of suspicion can aid in early diagnosis. Conduit failure usually requires a period of proximal esophageal diversion and staged reconstruction. Conduit airway fistulas may be amenable to endoscopic repair but this has a high failure rate and many patients will require surgical repair with closure of the fistula and interposition of vascularized tissue to minimize recurrence.
【Abstract】 Objective To review the progress of autologous fat grafting of the face and outline different arguments in this field. Methods Recent literature concerning autologous fat grafting of the face was reviewed and analyzed. Results The applications and techniques for autologous fat grafting have been matured increasingly. It not only can adjust the proportion of facial contours, restore tissue volume, but also can improve the local skin texture. Reliable clinical results have achieved in facial augmentation and rejuvenation. Although there are arguments about donor site, harvesting technique, processing technique, and grafting technique, the basic principle is the same. Conclusion From the perspective of evidence-based medicine, clinicians are rich in clinical experience, but objective evidence is insufficient. So further researches should be carried to look for scientific evidences.
ObjectiveTo review the cause, treatment, and prevention of complications of retrograde intramedullary nail fixation for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis and enhance the recognition on the complications of tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. MethodsThe recent literature concerning intramedullary nail fixation for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis was consulted and reviewed. ResultsThere are intraoperative and postoperative complications of intramedullary nail fixation for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis, and the causes, treatment, and prevention of complications are various. ConclusionProgress of retrograde intramedullary nail fixation increases the successful rate of tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. However, there is still a high complication rate, so strict preoperative assessment and skilled surgical technique are necessary to prevent complications.
Objective To search for a new method to repair distal urethral stricture resulting from urethroplasty of hypospadias. Methods FromFebruary 2000 toMarch 2004, 16 patients with distal urethral stricture were treated by use of cutting stricture urethra and their distal urethra were reconstructed with phallic flap. Results All operations were successful without complication of flap necrosis. After 7 days of operation, the patients had free micturition and thick stream of urine. Eleven patients were followed 2 months to 4 years, the satisfactory result was obtained. Conclusion It is a simple and good method to reconstruct the distal urethra by superimposing the phallic flap on the cut stricture urethra after urethroplasty of hypospadias.
Objective To summarize the methods andskills of anterior cervical locking plate systems in clinical application and to analyze the causes of some complications as well as give some preventive or remedial countermeasures. Methods From 1998 to 2002, 159 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy,fracturedislocation,tumor or tuberculosis of the cervical spine were treated with anterior locking plate systems. The complications were reviewed and analyzed. Results Ten kinds of complications related to anterior locking plate systems occurred in 21 patients. Most of the complications were caused by improperly-selecting implants, experience and technique deficiency. Conclusio The important preventive or remedial countermeasures are correctly-selecting patients, meticulous preoperative preparation, properly-selecting implants, standard and skillful manipulation and rational postoperative protection.
The report of brachial plexus injuries following radical mastectomy in patients with breast cancer was rare even though the operation was a main measure in treating with breast cancer. Nine patients treated from Oct. 1989 to Feb.1991 were summarized. The results were not ideal.
ObjectiveTo investigate clinical efficacy of percutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MethodsEighty-six patients with SAP in this hospital from August 2012 to November 2015 were selected, which were divided into percutaneous nephroscope treatment group (43 cases) and laparotomy treat-ment group (43 cases) according to the difference of therapy modality. The conventional drug therapy was performed for all of them. The postoperative recovery, content of serum C reactive protein (CRP) on day 14 after operation, and post-operative complications were observed in these two groups. Results① The abdominal pain relief time, postoperative bowel sounds recovery time, normal body temperature recovery time, and postoperative hospitalization time in the percu-taneous nephroscope treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the laparotomy treatment group (P<0.05). ② The contents of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group and in the laparotomy treatment group on day 14 after operation were significantly lower than those on day 1 before operation[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (31.44±3.45) mg/L, P<0.05; (16.42±2.44) mg/L versus (32.09±2.98) mg/L, P<0.05]. On day 14 after operation, the content of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treat-ment group[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (16.42±2.44) mg/L, P<0.05]. ③ The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treatment group[14.0% (6/43) versus 32.6% (14/43), P<0.05]. ConclusionPercutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with SAP is effect, it has advantages of shorter hospital stay and early recovery, which could reduce incidence of postoperative complications, and it's mechanism might be related to systemic inflammatory response.
Objective To summarize the relationship of diabetes and its complications with microRNA. Methods Domestic and international researches were collected by searching to summarize the role of microRNA in diabetes and its complications. Results MicroRNA could affect the secretion of insulin and interfer metabolism of gulcose in fat cells， muscle cells， and liver cells， which resulting in insulin resistance. At the same time， the microRNA also played an role in damage of vascular endothelial cells and myocardial cell in diabetes. Conclusion MicroRNA acts an important role in the process of diabetes and its complications.
Objective To analyse the factors of complications aftertreatment of intertrochanteric fractures with Gamma nail. Methods From January 1998 to May 2004, 50 patients were treated with Gamma nail, including 18 males and 32 females and ageing from 47 to 82 years. The locations were the left side in 16 cases andthe right in 34 cases. According to Evans classification, there were 4 cases oftype Ⅰ, 2 cases of type Ⅱ, 23 cases of type Ⅲ, 10 cases of type Ⅳ and 11 cases of type Ⅴ. Results Fifty patients were followed up 429 months. Accordingto the Harris criterion for evaluation, the results were excellent and good in 35 cases, showing sthenic weight loading walking and normal range of motion of the hip joint. The postoperative complications appeared in 15 cases: 5 cases of coxa vara or coxa valga, 3 cases of rotation deformity of lower limb, 2 cases oftension screwprotrusions and lower shorten, 1 case of failure of internal fixation, 1 case of femoral fracture, 2 cases of coxalgia and 1 case of pain in knee joint and stiff knee joint. Conclusion The reason of complications was various, mainly lies in insufficient comprehension and analysis of the types of fractures, unfamiliarity with the characteristics and usage of the instruments and neglected rehabi litation instruction, inappropriate functional training and too early weight loading after operation.
