腹腔镜结肠癌根治术治疗老年局部进展期结肠癌的疗效和安全性及对患者免疫功能的影响

目的:比较分析腹腔镜和开腹结肠癌根治术治疗老年局部进展期结肠癌的临床疗效和安全性及对患者免疫功能的影响。方法:根据随机数字表法,将64例老年局部进展期结肠癌患者随机分为腹腔镜组和开腹组,每组各32例,分别接受腹腔镜、开腹结肠癌根治术治疗。比较两组手术相关指标、手术前后免疫功能变化、术后近远期并发症的发生情况及预后。结果:与开腹组比较,腹腔镜组患者手术时间明显延长,而术中出血量、胃肠功能恢复时间则明显缩短(P<0.05)。两组淋巴结清扫数比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后3个月,腹腔镜组CD4+、CD4+/CD8+比值均明显高于开腹组(P<0.05),且与术前比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。与开腹组比较,腹腔镜组患者术后切口感染的发生率明显降低(P<0.05),两组其他近期并发症如吻合口瘘、吻合口出血,远期并发症如黏连性肠梗阻、切口疝的发生率比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。腹腔镜组与开腹组术后2年的局部复发率、1年和2年生存率比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:腹腔镜手术和开腹手术治疗老年局部进展期结肠癌患者的临床疗效和预后相当,但腹腔镜手术对患者的免疫功能影响更小,且安全性更高。     

结直肠癌肝转移患者血清OPN、YKL-40、HGF和VEGF-A水平及其危险因素分析

目的:检测结直肠癌肝转移患者血清骨桥蛋白(Osteopontin,OPN)、人类软骨糖蛋白-39(Human cartilage gp-39,YKL-40)、肝细胞生长因子(Hepatocyte growth factor,HGF)和血管内皮生长因子A(Vascular endothelial growth factor A,VEGF-A)水平,并分析直肠癌患者发生肝转移的危险因素。方法:收集56例发生肝转移的直结肠癌患者和50例未发生肝转移的直结肠癌患者,采用酶联免疫法检测两组患者血清OPN、YKL-40、HGF和VEGF-A的水平。收集所有患者的临床资料,分析直肠癌患者发生肝转移的危险因素。结果:结直肠癌肝转移患者血清OPN、YKL-40、HGF和VEGF-A水平均显著高于未发生肝转移的直结肠癌患者(P0.05);糖尿病、肿瘤最大直径、病理类型、分化程度、浸润深度、淋巴结转移、盆腹膜种植、肝外转移、吸烟史均与结直肠癌发生肝转移相关(P0.05);而HGF、VEGF-A、糖尿病、肿瘤最大直径≥5 cm、淋巴结转移、盆腹膜种植、肝外转移是直肠癌发生肝转移的独立危险因素(P0.05)。结论:结直肠癌肝转移患者血清OPN、YKL-40、HGF和VEGF-A明显升高,HGF、VEGF-A、糖尿病、肿瘤最大直径≥5 cm、淋巴结转移、盆腹膜种植、肝外转移是直肠癌发生肝转移的独立危险因素。     

乌司他丁联合连续性肾脏替代治疗对严重脓毒症患者炎症反应和血流动力学的影响

目的:探讨乌司他丁联合连续性肾脏替代(CRRT)治疗对严重脓毒症患者炎症反应和血流动力学的影响。方法:选取2015年5月～2019年4月期间我院收治的严重脓毒症患者119例,将所有患者根据随机数字表法分为对照组(n=59)和研究组(n=60),对照组给予CRRT治疗,研究组在对照组基础上联合乌司他丁治疗,比较两组患者临床疗效、炎症反应指标、血流动力学参数,记录两组患者住院时间及28d内病死率。结果:研究组治疗7 d后的临床总有效率高于对照组(P0.05)。两组治疗7 d后血清白介素-6(IL-6)、降钙素原(PCT)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)水平均下降,且研究组低于对照组(P0.05)。两组患者治疗7 d后心率、平均动脉压(MAP)、血乳酸下降,氧合指数升高(P0.05),研究组治疗7 d后氧合指数高于对照组,血乳酸则低于对照组(P0.05)。研究组住院时间短于对照组(P0.05),两组28d内病死率比较无统计学差异(P0.05)。结论:乌司他丁联合CRRT治疗严重脓毒症患者的疗效确切,可有效抑制机体炎症反应,改善血流动力学,减少住院时间,具有一定的临床应用价值。     

微通道经皮肾镜碎石术治疗感染性结石合并尿液CRPA感染两例

Epidemiological,Clinical and Serological Characteristics of Children with Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Wuhan: A Single-centered,Retrospective Study

In December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 was first detected in the samples obtained from three adult patients who suffered from an unknown viral pneumonia in Wuhan (Li et al. 2020). This unknown viral pneumonia is further named as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the World Health Organization. To date, the number of new COVID-19 cases has continued to skyrocket and the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on humans is far greater than any pathogen of this century in both breadth and depth. Previous studies have shown that adults with COVID-19 have symptoms of fever, dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue and lymphocytopenia. Moreover, COVID-19 is more likely to cause death in the elderly, especially those with chronic comorbidities (Huang et al. 2020). In Wuhan, more than 50, 000 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed, including over 780 pediatric patients, and only one child death case (Lu et al. 2020). Although the number of children cases was far fewer than that of adults, COVID-19 might endanger children's health and the information on children remains limited, especially in serological study. In the retrospective study, the investigators analyzed the epidemiological, clinical and serological characteristics of children with COVID-19 in Wuhan in the early stages of the outbreak, which might provide theoretical and practical help in controlling COVID-19 and similar emerging infectious diseases in the future.

Evidence of compliance with and effectiveness of guidelines for noninvasive prenatal testing in China: a retrospective study of 189,809 cases

In China,the medical guidelines recommend performing noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) with caution for pregnant women aged 35 years or older.However,the Mother and Child Health Care Law suggests that all primiparous women whose age is older than 35 years undergo prenatal diagnosis.These two inconsistent suggestions/recommendations have made obstetricians confused about whether to offer NIPT to these older pregnant women.To face this issue and find out the solution we performed a retrospective study of 189,809 NIPT samples collected from 28 provincial-leveled administrative units in China.Of 1,564women with high-risk pregnancies who underwent NIPT,459 (29.3%) did not participate in follow-up.The compound sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for trisomies 21,18 and 13 detection was 99.1%(95%CI,98.0%-99.6%) and 99.9%(95%CI,98.8%-99.9%),respectively.In secundiparous women,NIPT showed high sensitivity and specificity similar to that in primiparous women.The observed risk for trisomies 21 and 18 significantly increased when the maternal age was 39 and older.After the publication of the current NIPT policy,the follow-up rate at our center was 97.9%;however,a large number of women are not in maternal and infant care networks nationwide,and that makes the follow-up rate outside our center relatively low.Our study shows that to balance the prevention of major aneuploidies and the limited resources for prenatal diagnosis,the cut-off age of 35for invasive prenatal diagnosis might be unnecessary.Although the NIPT guidelines are well written,how to practice it effectively,especially in less industrialized areas,is worth discussing.
