Objective To investigate the protection of renal function and the prevention of acute renal failure （ARF） in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice in perioperative period of radical resection. Methods A series of clinical interventions had been taken since 2004 in our treatment team, including control of endotoxemia, depression of biliary tract before operation, maintenance of adequate effective blood volume, nutritive support, administration of mannitol and low dose of furosemide, and avoidance of disseminated intravascular coagulation. The incidence of perioperative ARF in 206 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice who had been radically resected from 2000 to 2007 was retrospectively studied, and the RIFLE criteria was used for ARF classification. This study was progressed in two periods. The first one was from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2003, and the second one was from Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2007. Results After 2003, the proportion of radical resection rose from 44.8% to 57.1% （P＜0.05), and the rate of perioperative ARF dropped from 15.1% to 6.7%（P＜0.05), among which the proportion in the RIFLE-R (Risk) stage had no significant change, while in the RIFLE-F (Failure) stage it dropped from 10.5% to 2.5% (P＜0.05). Finally, perioperative mortality rate dropped from 16.3% to 5.8% (P＜0.05). Therefore, the reduction of ARF was mainly attributed to the reduction in RIFLE-F stage. Conclusion By using the latest RIFLE criteria to classify ARF, it illustrates that our perioperative interventions have effectively decreased ARF, limited ARF in its early and reversible stage, and prevented advancing.
【Abstract】 Objective To multifactorially analyze the risk factors related to the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) complications and death. Methods Two hundred and thirty-three PD cases were analyzed, average age 56, of those cases, 210 malignant with 72 pancreatic head and 138 periampullary involvement, 23 benign. Fifty-nine cases suffered coexisting vital organ disorders. Results Sixty-three cases (27.0%) experienced postoperative complications, among those 58 cases (24.9%) early complications, 28(12.0%) infection, 15(6.4%) organ systemic disorder, 14(6.0%) bleeding, 12(5.2%) pancreatic fistula, 15(6.4%) reoperations, 16 postoperative death during hospitalization. The independent risk factors related to the postoperative complications included coexisting vital organ disorders, operation methods, main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter and surgeon’s experiences, those related to the death during hospitalization included preoperative serum creatinine, coexisting vital organ disorders, surgeon’s experiences; those related to the reoperation included preoperative CA19-9, surgeon’s experiences, tumor diameters, lymph nodes metastasis; and those related to the pancreatic fistula included operation methods, MPD diameters and surgeon’s experiences. Conclusion Coexisting vital organ disorders and surgeon’s experiences are the independent risk factors related to postoperative complications and death during hospitalization, operation methods, MPD diameter and surgeon’s experiences are the independent risk factors related to the pancreatic fistula. Thus, it is very important to choose the appropriate PD candidates, select the right operation method and to familiarize the operation.
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of immediate breast reconstruction with silicone prosthesis for breast tumor. Methods The clinical data of the 42 patients with breast tumor who had undergone breast reconstruction with silicone prosthesis from January 2012 to June 2017 were collected retrospectively. The postoperative complications and cosmetic results were analyzed. Results All patients underwent operation successfully. The surgical time was 230–435 min (mean of 325 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 100–160 mL (mean of 130 mL), and the hospitalization time was 18–33 d (mean of 24 d). The cosmetic results was excellent in 26 patients, good in 8 patients, bad in 8 patients, and fine rate was 81.0% (34/42). Rate of patients’ overall satisfaction with breast reconstruction was 73.8% (31/42) and rate of aesthetic satisfaction was 78.6% (33/42). After operation, seroma occurred in 2 patients, and the ischemic necrosis in nipple and areola occurred in 3 patients. All the patients were followed-up for 4–70 months, and the median follow-up time was 37 months. During the follow-up period, no patient had metastasis or recurrence. Six patients received radiotherapy, among them 2 patients appeared Ⅱ-grade capsular contracture. Conclusion The breast reconstruction with silicone prosthesis is a simple, easy, and effective surgical procedure.
ObjectiveTo study the effects of Ghrelin for glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity of L6 rat myoblasts in palmitic acid induced, and to explore its possible mechanisms. MethodsThe L6 rat myoblasts were cultured until differentiation, then using palmitic acid(0.3 mmol/L) for 16 hours. The experimental group was treated with different doses of Ghrelin(1, 10, and 100 nmol/L) for 8 hours, then the glucose uptake was detected by using glucose oxidase peroxidase method(GOD-POD), the cell membrane glucose transporter 4(GLUT-4) protein staining was observated under confocal microscopy, and the expressions of total protein kinase B(Akt), phosphorylated protein kinase B(pAkt), total glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β), and phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β(pGSK-3β) were detected by using immunoblotting(Western blot). ResultsGhrelin enhanced the glucose uptake of L6 rat myoblasts with insulin resistance, the cell membrane Glut-4 stain was deepen, the expressions of pAkt and pGSK-3βprotein increased, and this effect could be PI3K blocker(LY294002) eliminated. ConclusionGhrelin promotes the glucose uptake of L6 rat myoblasts through PI3K/Akt/GSK-3βsignaling pathway, so as to improve the sensitivity of insulin in L6 rats muscle cells.
ObjectiveTo review the association of gut microbiota and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (GID) in patients after abdominal surgery and to provide a new idea for the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery.MethodThe related and latest literatures were reviewed by searching the literatures on “intestinal flora” “gut microbiota” “intestinal microbial population” “brain-gut axis” “gastrointestinal function” “gastric paralysis” “intestinal paralysis” and “ileus” from January 1, 2000 to April 2, 2021 in Chinese and English databases.ResultsGut microbiota diversity was closely related to postoperative GID symptoms in patients after abdominal surgery. Gut microbiota regulated gastrointestinal motility and mucosal barrier function by metabolizing food to produce metabolites such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, melatonin, short-chain fatty acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and so on.ConclusionsThe imbalance of gut microbiota is closely related to postoperative GID in patients after abdominal surgery. However, the relevant bacterial metabolites that have been found are limited at present, and the relevant mechanism needs to be further investigated.
The development of the fifth generation mobile networks (5G) technology has brought great breakthroughs and challenges to clinical medicine and medical education. In the context of “5G + medicine”, the development of telemedicine, emergency rescue, intelligent analysis and diagnosis has opened up new horizons for clinical medicine. Facing the constant impact of high technology, the focus of medical education should be on the cultivation of students’ integrated medical view, critical thinking, communication abilities and skills, and creativity. The “5G + education” model will be presented by means of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other technologies, providing a new direction for the development of medical education. This article summarizes the key points and prospects of medical education under 5G technology in order to provide a reference for the field of medical education to adapt to the changes in the 5G era.
