Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Bilateral Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation and Postoperative Cognitive Function

The present study was to examine the effect of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on bilateral regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and postoperative cognitive function. Eighty patients undergoing selective coronary artery bypass graft with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomly and equally divided into two groups. The patients in group S were given right SGB with ropivacaine, while the patients in group C were injected with normal saline. We compared the bilateral rSO2 after SGB. Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), Visual Verbal Learning Test (VVLT), and Digital Span Test (DST) were applied to observe the effect on cognitive function. We found that the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) 7 days after surgery in group S was lower than that in group C. The level of blocked side rSO2 of S group were significantly higher before CPB time of rewarming than that before SGB (P＜0.05), much higher than corresponding non-blocked side rSO2 before CPB (P＜0.05), and much higher than rSO2 level in group C before CPB and after CPB(P＜0.05). The non-blocked side rSO2 in group S before anesthesia were much lower than basic levels and those in group C (P＜0.05). It could be concluded from the above results that there was significant increase in the blocked-side rSO2 compared to the non-blocked side and there was significant decrease in the incidence of POCD compared to the control group after SGB.

REPARATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE POSTBURN DEFORMITY AND FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY

Objective To investigate the development made in the reparation and reconstruction of the postburn deformity and functional disability in the advanced-stage patients. Methods Based on the reviewedliterature at home and abroad and combined with our clinical experience, the new reparative and reconstructive techniques for the patients with advanced stagedeformity and functional disability were evaluated. Results The reparative and reconstructive microsurgical techniques achieved a significantdevelopment in treating the following pathologic changes after burn: deformity due to proliferation and contracture of the scars, severe hand deformity, defects occurring in the muscle tendons and nerves due to electricity burn, and defects occurring in the long tubular bones of the extremities. Concl usion Although there has been a great achievement in this field, there is still a hard task of finding out newer therapeutic approaches and achieving more effective results in the future.

Effectiveness of Warm-Group-Needle and Rehabilitation in the Treatment of 68 Cases with Shoulder Dysfunction after Fracture of the Lateral Condylar Neck

目的 观察温针群刺联合康复训练治疗肱骨外科颈骨折术后肩关节活动功能障碍的临床疗效。 方法 2007年8月-2009年11月，将68例肱骨外科颈骨折术后患者随机分为温针群刺加运动组（37例），运动疗法组（31例）。温针群刺加运动组取患肩部僵硬软组织进行群刺，并行红外线照射；配穴取曲尺、合谷、阳陵泉，予针刺治疗，取针后活动肩关节。运动疗法组先被动活动肩关节后再行主动运动训练。治疗50 d后统计疗效。 结果 与治疗前比较，治疗结束后两组患者的VAS、肩关节功能、活动度、活动度评分，均有统计学意义（Plt;0.05）。治疗后与运动组比较，温针群刺加运动组患者的肩关节疼痛、功能、活动度、活动度评分，均有统计学意义（Plt;0.05）。 结论 两种治疗方法对骨折术后肩关节的功能恢复均具有较好的临床疗效。与运动康复治疗相比较，温针群刺加运动训练对骨折术后肩关节的功能恢复具有更显著的效果。

Long-Term Effects of Partial Axillary Dissection in Modified Radical Mastectomy of Breast Cancer

Objective To study the effects of partial axillary lymph node dissection (PALD) on prognosis and upper limb function in patients with breast cancer. Methods Ninety-eight breast cancer patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ were randomly divided into two groups and different surgical procedures following modified mastectomy were performed: partial axillary lymph node (level Ⅰ and Ⅱ) dissection (PALD) group (n=48) and total axillary lymph node (levelⅠ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ) dissection (TALD) group (n=50). The longterm positive relapse rate and upper limb function between 2 groups were compared. Results During the follow-up of 5 to 10 years (average 4.5 years), there were 2 cases (4.2%) of local recurrence on chest wall and one case (2.1%) of recurrence in axillary lymph node and one case (2.1%) of recurrence in supraclavicular lymph node in PALD group, and 2 cases (4.0%) of local recurrence on chest wall and no axillary lymph node recurrence and one case (2.0%) of recurrence in supraclavicular lymph node happened in TALD group. There was no statistical difference between PALD group and TALD group (Pgt;0.05). The incidence of upper limb edema and dysfunction was 4.2% (2/48) in PALD group and 16.0%(8/50) in TALD group (P＜0.01). There was no significant statistical difference of 5year and 10year survival rate between PALD group and TALD group (89.6% vs. 88.0%， 79.2% vs. 78.0%，Pgt;0.05). Conclusion PALD may reduce upper limb dysfunction after operation in patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ breast cancer, and does not increase prognostic risk.

Effect of preoperative gum chewing on the patients’ rehabilitation after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of preoperative gum chewing on the postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.MethodsA total of 160 patients undergoing elective gynecologic laparoscopic surgery between January and May 2013 were selected to participate in the study. Each patient was randomly assigned to one of the two groups: the trial group (n=80) or the control group (n=80). Thirty to sixty minutes before the surgery, the patients in the trial group chewed one piece of sugarless gum for at least 30 minutes, and then removed the gum before being taken to the operating room; while the patients in the control group chewed nothing. The time to first passage of flatus and the time to first defecation after surgery, length of hospital stay, the degrees of pain at 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 24-, 48-hour after surgery, the incidences of postoperative nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension, postoperative analgesic and antiemetic drug requirement were recorded.ResultsThe mean time to first passage of flatus was significantly earlier in the trial group than that in the control group [(16.49±7.64) vs. (20.25±7.94) hours, P=0.003]. The mean time to first defecation was significantly earlier in the trial group than that in the control group [(48.16±15.25) vs. (55.80±18.97) hours, P=0.006]. The degree of pain at 2-hour after surgery was significantly lighter in the trial group than that in the control group (P<0.05). Fewer participants in the trial group than in the control group experienced postoperative nausea (43.75% vs. 61.25%, P=0.027). There were no significant differences in the length of hospital stay, the degrees of pain at 4-, 6-, 8-, 24- and 48-hour after surgery, incidences of postoperative vomiting and abdominal distension, postoperative analgesic, or antiemetic drug requirement between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsGum chewing before surgery can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce postoperative short-term pain, and promote postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Gum chewing before surgery can be used clinically as an easy, inexpensive, safe, and effective procedure.
