Objective To investigate the changes of renal medulla aquaporin 2 expression and morphological changes of epithelia of collecting tube after bile duct recanalizaiton operation. Methods Thirty rats were divided into two groups randomly. Common bile duct ligation was performed on 20 experimental rats with silicon tubes 2 mm in extre-diameter, and sham operation on the other 10 rats. Seven days later, bile duct recanalizaiton was performed on obstructive jaundice group and sham operation on contrast group. Experimental rats were divided into two subgroups randomly. Half of them were killed immediately and the others would be killed 24 hours later. Serum of each rat was collected to detect hepatic function and renal function. Renal medulla was fixed for microscopic examination and was kept in the -80 ℃ refrigerator for aquaporin 2 expression measurement by Western blot technique. Results All of the animals accomplished the experiment smoothly. Golden ascites were found in the rats of obstructive jaundice group. Twenty-four hours after recanalization, serum bilirubin levels decreased 〔(45.95±8.39) μmol/L〕, P＜0.01, and there was no significant change in blood urine and creatine level. Compared with sham operation group (21 966.20±1 544.70), expression of aquaporin 2 decreased significantly after common bile duct ligation in obstructive jaundice group (15 665.30±1 181.85), P＜0.01. After recanalizaion, the expression of aquaporin 2 in obstructive jaundice group increased (19 490.80±4 239.32), P＜0.01. Conclusion Common bile duct obstruction would lead to epithelium injury of renal collecting tube, and down regulate the aquaporin 2 expression.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the perioperative management in hepatectomy using hepatic energy metabolisom for enhancing safety of and improving the survival in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC).MethodsTwo thousands and one hundred fortythree patients with PLC were treated in this hospital from January 1990 to January 2004. The perioperative data, operative approach, postoperative treatment, postoperative clinical course and follow up data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups: the early period group and the late period group(from January 1997 to January 2004) and comparison was taken between two groups. The preoperative redox tolerance index (RTI), intraoperative hepatopetal blood occlusion of half liver, and postoperative arterial ketone body ratio (AKBR) were investigated and evaluated.Results①The proportion of small PLC and resection rate increased, the morbidity of complications and mortality after hepatectomy decreased, also the survival rate prolonged in the late period group. ②When using RTI as an indicator for selection of hepatectomy, the morbidity of complications decreased from 21.1% to 11.0%, the mortality form 1.6% to 0.3%. ③Comparising hepatopetal blood occlusion of total liver (n=476) with half liver (n=523),the postoperative morbidity of complications and mortality were 25.8% to 11.9% and 2.3% to 0.6% respectively. ④Postoperative AKBR measurements was a reliable indicator to assess the energy status of the liver and liver failure.ConclusionRTI is of potential value in predicting preoperative hepatic functional reserve, hepatopetal blood occlusion of half liver could protect the residual liver function, and postoperative AKBR measuremeant is a simple and accurate means of determining the immediate state of metabolic dysfunctioning in liver resection. The authors propose that perioperative treatment is an important factor in decreasing operative complications and mortality rate after liver resection.
ObjectiveTo summarize the perioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty. MethodsThe literature concerning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management was reviewed and summarized. ResultsAt present, a variety of blood management and conservation strategies are available. Preoperative strategies include iron supplementation, erythropoietin (EPO), and preoperative autologous donation (PAD). Intraoperative options include acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), antifibrinolytics, and the use of a tourniquet. Postoperative strategies include the use of reinfusion systems and guided transfusion protocols. Preoperatively, administration of either simple EPO or a combination of EPO and PAD can be efficacious in anemic patients. Intraoperatively, tourniquet use and tranexamic acid can effectively control bleeding. Postoperatively, appropriate transfusion indications can avoid unnecessary blood transfusions. ConclusionPerioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty should be integrated for the individual patient using a variety of ways to reduce perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.
Abstract: Due to complicated procedures and severe trauma, esophagectomy still remains an operation with high mortality and morbidity. With the advancement of anesthetic and surgical technique, as well as perioperative management, the mortality and morbidity after esophagectomy decreased significantly in recent years. The optimal perioperative management, normalized and individualized treatment was of importance in preventing postoperative complications and decreasing mortality after esophagectomy. This review summarizes the current state of perioperative management for esophagectomy.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of applying the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) to the perioperative management of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.MethodsThe clinical data of 64 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 32 patients admitted from January to December in 2017 were in ERAS group, and 32 patients admitted from January to December 2016 were in control group. The control group used conventional orthopedic perioperative management measures, and the ERAS group combined the ERAS concept on the basis of conventional treatment measures for perioperative management. The incidence of perioperative complications, Visual Analogue Scale score, modified Barthel Index score, inpatient satisfaction and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference in age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, combined disease, modified Barthel Index or Visual Analogue Scale score at admission, or time from injury to surgery between the two groups (P>0.05). The total incidence of perioperative complications (12.5% vs. 37.5%) and length of hospital stay [(8.09±2.33) vs. (10.41±3.63) d] in the ERAS group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The Visual Analogue Scale scores of the two groups of patients before operation, on the first day and the third day after operation were lower than those at admission (P<0.05). The comparison between the two groups at each time point showed that the Visual Analogue Scale scores of patients in the ERAS group were lower than those in the control group before operation, on the first day and the third day after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The modified Barthel Index scores of the two groups of patients on the third day, and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation showed a rising trend with time. The modified Barthel Index scores of the ERAS group were better than those of the control group on the third day, and 1 month and 3 months after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups 6 months after operation (P>0.05). The hospitalization satisfaction score of the ERAS group was 95.56±5.12, which was higher than that of the control group (92.84±5.62), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe implementation of ERAS perioperative management for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures may reduce the incidence of perioperative complications, relieve patient pain, promote the short-term recovery of activities of daily living of patients, improve the inpatient satisfaction and shorten the length of hospital stay.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for and preventive measures of orthopedic perioperative surgical site infection. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 2 752 cases of orthopedic surgery performed from January 2010 to December 2012. The risk factors for such infection were analyzed and certain preventive measures were put forward. ResultsA total of 97 patients were infected with a surgical site infection rate of 3.52%. The surgical site infection was closely related to ages, basic diseases, surgical site, types of incision, preoperative hospital stay, operative time, urgent elective surgery, the use of antibiotics, medical staff hand hygiene and other factors, of which the rate of infection after amputation was the highest, reaching 23.81% (20/84). ConclusionMaking full preparations before operation, strengthening medical staff's hand disinfection, prophylactic antibiotics, good precautions and regulations in operation, and nursing meticulously after operation can be taken to prevent and reduce surgical site infection in orthopedic operation patients effectively.
Objective To explore the application effect of process optimization in perioperative venous access management. Methods A total of 205 general surgery patients in the Operating Room of Cheng Du Shang Jin Nan Fu Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to May 2018 were selected as the control group, and 205 general surgery patients from June to August 2018 were selected as the observation group. The traditional management process was used in the control group, and the process optimization management was performed in the observation group. The establishment of venous access and related complications between the two groups of patients, as well as the satisfaction of patients and staff before and after the process optimization were compared. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, education level, operation type, anesthesia method, operation duration, or intraoperative intravenous infusion channels between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, educational background, job title, job nature, or working years of the staff participating in the satisfaction survey before and after the process optimization (P>0.05). The rate of repetitive venous puncture (15.61% vs. 58.05%) and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach (10.73% vs. 52.20%) in the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of tube blockage, detubation, or phlebitis/exudation between the two groups (P>0.05). After process optimization, patient satisfaction (22.91±3.43 vs. 17.44±4.90) and staff satisfaction (28.17±2.56 vs. 20.65±3.71) were higher than before optimization, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The process optimization of venous access management for perioperative patients can effectively reduce the rate of venous repeated venipuncture and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach, reduce invasive operations on patients, reduce the ineffective work of nurses, avoid the waste of medical resources such as manpower and materials, and improve the satisfaction of patients and staff. It is worthy of promotion and application.
ObjectiveTo explore risk factors of pneumonia of patients after esophagectomy and its preventive measures. MethodsClinical data of 258 patients undergoing esophagectomy in Guangyuan Central Hospital between 2009 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they had pneumonia after esophagectomy, all the 258 patients were divided into 2 groups. In the pneumonia group, there were 86 patients including 62 males and 24 females with their age of 65.1 (45-84)years, who all had pneumonia after esophagectomy. In the control group, there were 172 patients including 124 males and 48 females with their age of 60.2 (43-78)years, who didn't have pneumonia after esophagectomy. Preoperative pulmonary function, age, smoking history, anastomotic location, intraoperative blood loss, pneumonia and other perioperative complications were compared between the 2 groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze risk factors of pneumonia after esophagectomy. ResultsUnivariate analysis showed that incidences of moderate or severe pulmonary dysfunction, smoking history (≥400 cigarettes per year), old age (≥65 years), laryngeal recurrent nerve injury, perioperative blood loss (≥1 000 ml), operation time longer than 4 hours, and preoperative diabetes mellitus of the pneumonia group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that moderate or severe pulmonary dysfunction (P=0.022), smoking history (≥400 cigarettes per year, P=0.000), old age (≥65 years, P=0.026), laryngeal recurrent nerve injury (P=0.002), and perioperative blood loss (≥1000 ml, P=0.020)were main risk factors of pneumonia after esophagectomy. ConclusionsModerate or severe pulmonary dysfunction, smoking history (≥400 cigarettes per year), old age (≥65 years), laryngeal recurrent nerve injury and perioperative blood loss (≥1 000 ml)are main risk factors of pneumonia after esophagectomy. Preoperative smoking cessation, pulmonary function exercise, airway preparation, careful hemostasis, and avoidance of laryngeal recurrent nerve injury are helpful to prevent pneumonia after esophagectomy.
There is increasing evidence that microorganisms play a complex and important role in human health and disease, and that the in vivo microbiome can directly or indirectly affect the host’s immune system, endocrine system, and nervous system. Therefore, a relatively stable equilibrium between the host and the microbiome is crucial in human health. However, in the special pathophysiological state of the perioperative period, preoperative anxiety and sleep deprivation, anesthesia intervention and surgical injury, postoperative medication and complications may all have different effects on the microbial composition of various organs in the body, resulting in pathogenic microorganisms, and the balance between beneficial microorganisms is altered. This may affect patient the outcomes and prognosis in a direct or indirect manner. This paper will provide a systematic review of key studies to understand the impact of perioperative stress on the commensal microbiome, provide a fresh perspective on optimizing perioperative management strategies, and discuss possible potential interventions to restore microbiome-mediated steady state.
Objective To explore the efficacy of multidisciplinary nutritional support model in the perioperative management of elderly patients with nutritional risks undergoing joint replacement. Methods Between March 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 342 elderly patients who underwent joint replacement due to osteoarthritis were screened with nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002). For patients who got a NRS2002 score of equal to 3 points or higher, nutritional treatment and intervention was carried out by doctor-nurse-rehabilitation therapist-dietitian collaboration and hospital departments related to patients’ complications. Results Among all the 342 patients, 225 (65.79%) had a NRS2002 score of equal to 3 points or higher on the admission day, in which 117 (52.00%) were male and 108 (48.00%) were female, 168 (74.67%) were at the age between 60 and 70 years old and 57 (25.33%) were at the age between 71 and 87. One day before surgery, the number of patients with a NRS2002 score equal to 3 points or higher decreased to 10 (2.92%), and the number became 68 (19.88%) after surgery. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In those 68 elderly patients, 10 had a preoperative NRS2002 score equal to 3 points or higher, and 58 had newly developed nutritional risks after surgery; there were 23 patients with an age over 75, and 7 over 80. The NRS2002 score of all the 342 patients was below 3 points before discharge. For patients with nutritional risks at different periods before and after surgery, their serum albumin and hemoglobin levels were both improved after the treatment of nutritional support (P<0.05). Conclusion Multidis- ciplinary nutritional support for elderly perioperative patients undergoing joint replacement can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, providing favorable conditions for the patients to undergo joint replacement surgery.
