Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is defined as an acute and clinically significant respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new, widespread alveolar abnormality. In the past, AE-IPF was considered to be idiopathic, which was hard to be prevented and its prognosis was hard to be obviously improved; the latest researches have shown that AE-IPF can be triggered by known causes, including pulmonary infection, aspiration, etc. This review summarizes the etiology or risk factors, treatment and prevention of AE-IPF according to the latest researches.
ObjectiveTo review the progress of treatment and prevention of breast cancer related lymphedema. MethodsThe recent literature concerning treatment and prevention of breast cancer related lymphedema was extensively consulted and reviewed. ResultsThe treatment of lymphedema is now based on complete decongestive therapy, supplemented with medicine and surgery. Those procedures have been proved to be safe and effective. Sentinel lymph node biopsy, axillary reverse mapping, and lymphaticovenous anastomoses have been used to decrease the incidence of lymphedema. They show promising effectiveness in short term, but the long-term effectiveness needs further tests. ConclusionIn clinical practice, many treatment methods are used to decrease lymphedema, and lymphedema prevention is playing an increasingly important role. Lymphaticovenous anastomoses shows a promising effectiveness in reducing lymphedema.
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) is commonly used to treat arrhythmias. The amount of CIED implantation has increased year by year since its first application in 1958. At the same time, the CIED infection rate also increases significantly. Although the infection rate is very low for the primary implantation, the consequences of CIED infection are serious, and it is often necessary to remove the equipment for treatment. The mortality rate in patients with CIED infections is high, and the economic burden is huge. In this paper, the epidemiology, pathogenesis and pathogen, manifestations and diagnosis, risk factors, treatment and preventive measures of CIED infection were systematically described based on the recently published guidelines and international consensus literature, so as to provide theoretical guidance for the prevention of CIED infections.
目的 分析胃肠外科手术切口感染的影响因素,为医院感染的防治提供理论依据。 方法 回顾性分析2010年12月-2012年12月764例行胃肠外科手术患者的临床资料,并用单因素χ2检验统计分析患者医院感染的危险因素。 结果 共有65例患者发生手术切口感染,其感染率为8.5%,且分离培养出合格菌株48株,阳性率73.8%,其中G−菌32株,占66.7%,G+菌16株,占33.3%。G−菌主要以大肠杆菌、变形杆菌、克雷伯杆菌和肠杆菌为主,分别占29.2%、18.8%、12.5%和6.2%;G+菌以肠球菌和表皮葡萄球菌为主,分别占22.9%和10.4%。单因素χ2检验显示年龄>60岁、手术时间>120 min、术中有输血、且有肿瘤病变的患者具有较高的切口感染发生率(P<0.05)。 结论 胃肠外科手术切口感染的主要致病菌是G−杆菌,患者的年龄、手术时间、术中输血情况和疾病良恶性质是术后切口感染的高危因素,积极采取相应的预防措施有望减低其感染的发生率。
Abstract: Air leak is still a common postoperative complication after selective lobectomy. The majority of patients undergoing lobectomy have some risk factors of postoperative air leak or persistent air leak. Nowadays,preventive measures of postoperative air leak mainly include preoperative, intraoperative (surgical technique,reinforcement material,pleural cavity reduction),and postoperative (pleurodesis,chest drainage management) strategies. Many of these new measures have been applied in clinical practice with satisfactory outcomes.
目的 为老年股骨颈骨折的患者制定合理的循证护理方案。 方法 在充分了解老年股骨颈患者病情的基础上,根据PICO原则,提出临床问题并转化为易于检索的形式,于2012年5月检索了Cochrane系统评价数据库(CDSR)、Cochrane对照试验注册中心(CCTR)、效果评论摘要数据库(DARE)、Medline、国家指南网(NGC)、PubMed 网站、中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM)以及复旦大学JBI循证护理中心,获取并评价相关的系统评价、随机对照试验以及临床指南。 结果 共检索到3篇系统评价、2篇临床随机对照试验和1篇临床实践指南。根据检索的结果,与患者及家属沟通后,选用Braden量表对患者进行压疮评估;指导患者每2小时翻身;进行腰背肌的锻炼,2~4 h/次,第1天5遍/次,之后逐渐递增为10~20遍/次;指导摄入高能量、高蛋白食物。1周后,患者机体状况良好,顺利接受手术治疗。 结论 采取循证护理的方法可以为患者提供科学、个性化的护理。
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of phytochemicals in the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease and its possible clinical application value.MethodThe current literatures about the preventive and therapeutic effects of phytochemicals on alcoholic liver disease at home and abroad were reviewed.ResultsPhyto- chemicals could prevent and treat alcoholic liver disease by reducing inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, and improving lipid metabolism. They had the advantage of multi-targets.ConclusionPhytochemicals play an important role in the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease, and it also lay a solid foundation for translational medicine.
