ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of healthy education on functional constipation caused by unhealthy lifestyle, and to analyze the disadvantages affecting the curative effect. MethodsA total of 167 cases of functional constipation from February 2009 to February 2012 were included. All of the patients were followed up for one year. We collected clinical data of curative effect and influencing factors, determined the clinical value of healthy education, and analyzed the influence of different factors on the curative effect of healthy education. ResultsThe total curative effect after one-year follow-up was 84.4%. The curative effect in elderly patients was significantly higher than that in middle-aged ones (P<0.05). The curative effect in urban patients was remarkably higher than that in rural ones (P<0.05). And the curative effect of patients with college degree wass much higher than that in patients with education background of primary school or below (P<0.05). ConclusionHealthy education has important value on releasing and eliminating functional constipation caused by unhealthy lifestyle. And it needs individual education aimed at patients with different age, education degree, and domicile.
目的 探讨功能性排便障碍人群心理评估中心理和情绪的变化。方法 采用SCL-90、SAS和SDS量表对72例功能性排便障碍患者进行心理评估并分析结果。结果 便秘组SCL-90测试的总分以及躯体化、抑郁、焦虑及精神病性这4项因子的评分结果均高于对照组（P＜0.001），2组其余各因子的评分结果差异没有统计学意义（P＞0.05）。便秘组SAS和SDS测试的评分结果均高于对照组，表明便秘组焦虑和抑郁的评分均较对照组高（P＜0.001）。结论 功能性便秘患者不同程度伴随有情绪和情感的异常，因此对该部分患者进行药物干预的同时给予其心理辅导是非常有必要的。
Objective To study the neuropathological changes of gastrin and substance P(SP) in the intermuscular and submucous nerve plexus of the colonic walls in patients with delayed motor constipation(DMC).MethodsGastrin and rabbit SP polyclonal antibiotics were used to make an immunohistochemical staining of the samples of different segments obtained from 10 patients with DMC and 8 normal subjects(control group) for a comparative observation as well as a relative semi-quantitative analysis.Results The immune positive nerve cells of gastrin and SP in the intermuscular nerve plexus of colon with DMC were markedly reduced; no differences in the immune response of gastrin and SP in the mucous nerve plexus were found between the two groups(P＜0.01). With routine HE staining, focal inflammation occurred in the mucous membrane of DMC colon and that the neuronal vacuolus of the intermuscular nerve plexus degenerated, reduced and even disappeared. Conclusion The abnormal changes of the neural structure in the immune reponse of gastrin and SP in the intermuscular nerve plexus of colon with DMC might be related to reduction of gastrin and SP peptide neuron or dysfunctional.
Objective To summarize the short-term efficacy， surgery complications， and relative experiences in the management of severe functional constipation （SFC） under laparoscopy-assisted subtotal colectomy combined modified Duhamel procedure. Methods All the data of 15 patients underwent laparoscopy-assisted subtotal colectomy combined modified Duhamel procedure from March 2010 to August 2011 were collected retrospectively， all the patients were diagnosed as SFC and failed to conservative therapy. The postoperative short-term efficacy， complications of surgery， score of gastrointestinal living condition， and improvement degree of defecation were analyzed. Results All 15 procedures achieved success， the operation time was （247.33±55.10） min， the intraoperative blood loss volume was （107.33±45.59） ml， the incision length was （8.40±2.41） cm， the postoperative out of bed activity time was （2.27±1.28） d，the postoperative passage of gas by anus time was （2.60±1.89） d， the postoperative defecation time was （2.87±2.50） d，the postoperative foods taken per oral time was （3.07±1.16） d， the hospital stay was （12.64±2.37） d. Approximately on day 3-4 after operation， 10 patients presented with postoperative diarrhea but were all under control with antidiarrheals efficiently. One patient presented with incomplete bowel obstruction on day 8 after operation and one patient with stomal leakage complicated with deep infection on day 9 after operation， who both recovered under conservative therapy. The scoreof gastrointestinal living quality on month 1 after operation was significantly higher than that on day 1 before operation （121.80±4.72 versus 90.80±7.24， P=0.000）， and the improvement degree of defecation was （0.81±0.56）%. Conclusions From the limited case informations， the laparoscopy-assisted subtotal colectomy combined modified Duhamel procedure has a certain short-term curative effect in treatment for SFC with the advantages of faster recovery， less bleeding， shorter hospital stay， and fewer complications.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the functional outcomes and quality of life in patients with surgery for slow transit constipation (STC).MethodsFrom March 2013 to July 2017, 29 patients undergoing total or subtotal colectomy for STC in our department were analyzed prospectively. Their preoperative and postoperative 1-year follow-up details were analyzed. Evacuation function of all patients was assessed by bowel movements, abdominal pain, bloating, straining, laxative, enema use and the Wexner constipation scales. Quality of life was evaluated by the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) and the short-form (SF)-36 survey.ResultsA high number of patients (93.1%, 27/29) in STC stated that surgery received benefits to their health. Compared with that before operation, the number of bowel movements per week during a 1-year follow-up increased significantly (31.6±19.9 vs. 1.21±0.6, P<0.05). Significant trends toward improvement of bloating, straining, laxative and enema use were noted 1-year following surgery (P<0.05). The Wexner constipation scales scores during a 1-year follow-up decreased significantly (5.69±3.4 vs. 20.34±0.6, P<0.05). The GIQLI scores during a 1-year follow-up increased significantly (120.7±20.4 vs. 78.6±17.3, P<0.05). Moreover, results of SF-36 showed significant improvements in 7 spheres (role physical, role emotional, physical pain, vitality, mental health, social function and general health) during a 1-year follow-up compared with those before operation (P<0.05).ConclusionTotal or subtotal colectomy for STC did not only alleviate constipation symptoms dramatically, but also received significant improvements in the patients’ quality of life.
Objective To investigate the express of ERβ protein in female slow transit constipation (STC) patients. Methods Immunohistochemistry and Western blot technique were used to detect the distribution and expression of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) protein of 20 patients with STC and 20 aged-matched controls. Results ERβ expressions were detected in mucous layer, myenteric nerve plexus and submucous nerve plexus in two groups. In comparison with the control group, the expression of ERβ protein of STC group was much lower (Plt;0.01). The expression of ERβ protein of sigmoid colon in STC group was significantly lower than that in control group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The expression of ERβ protein decreased in myenteric and submucous nerve plexus of sigmoid colon tissues may involve in the pathogenesis of STC.
Objective To explore the medium- and long-term clinical effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with Block operation for obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS). Methods Clinical data of 187 patients with ODS caused by rectocele (RE) who received PPH+Block operation or pure PPH operation in The Chaoyang City Central Hospital from Mar. 2011 to May. 2013, were collected retrospectively, in which 95 patients underwent PPH+Block operation (PPH+Block group) and 92 patients underwent PPH operation (PPH group). Compared the postoperative Longo’s score, postoperative clinical effect, operative effect, and recurrence rate between the 2 groups. Results ① The postoperative Longo’s score: the postoperative Longo’s scores of the PPH+Block group were both lower than those of the PPH group at 1- and 3-year after operation (P<0.05). ② Postoperative curative effect: the total effective rate of the PPH+Block group and the PPH group were both 100%, but the clinical effect of the the PPH+Block group was better than that of the PPH group (Z=–10.15, P<0.05). ③ Operative effect: there was no statistical significance on operative time, intraoperative blood loss, returned to normal activity time, hospital stay, and postoperative visual analogy score (VAS) between the 2 groups (P>0.05). In addition, there were no statistical significance on the incidences of urinary retention, hematochezia, exhaust anal incontinence, and anal fissure between the 2 groups (P>0.05), but the incidence of urgent or high anal straining feeling in the PPH+Block group was significantly higher than that of the PPH group (P<0.05). ④ Medium- and long-term recurrence rate: the recurrence rate of 1-year after operation was similar between these2 groups (P>0.05), but the recurrence rate of 3-year after operation in the PPH+Block group was significantly lower than that of the PPH group (P<0.05). Conclusions The medium clinical effect has no obvious difference between PPH+Block and PPH operation, but the long-term recurrence rate of the former is lower than that of the latter, and the medium- and long-term effect is stable in PPH+Block operation for ODS caused by RE.
