Objective To explore the feasibility,safety and clinical applicability of combined complete thoracoscopicand laparoscopic esophagectomy for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 34 patients with esophageal carcinoma who underwent combined complete thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy in the Departmentof Thoracic Surgery of our hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 33 males and1 female with their age of 63 (41-76) years. Results One patient received conversion to laparotomy and 1 patient diedpostoperatively. Mean operation time was 362.1 (300-560) minutes,including 90.6 (60-220) minutes for thoracoscopicprocedure in 34 patients and 61.1 (45-85) minutes for laparoscopic procedure in 33 patients. Mean intraoperative blood loss was 206.5 (100-500) ml. Average number of dissected lymph nodes was 18.0 (13-31) for each patient with positivemetastatic rate of 44.1% (15/34). Postoperative pathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma in 33 patients and smallcell carcinoma in 1 patient. Postoperative pathological staging was stageⅠB in 1 patient,stageⅡA in 1 patient,stageⅡB in 15 patients,stageⅢA in 11 patients,stageⅢB in 3 patients and stageⅢC in 3 patients. Postoperative hospital stay was 15.2 (6-35) days. Two patients received bedside bronchoscopic sputum suction. Postoperative complications occurred in32.4% (11/34) of all patients,including pulmonary infection in 4 patients (11.8%),respiratory failure in 2 patients (5.9%),chylothorax in 1 patient (2.9%),cervical anastomotic leak in 4 patients (11.8%) and hoarseness in 2 patients (5.9%). We followed up 33 patients for 1-16 months. Two died,Two were lost. The other 29 patients survived. Conclusion Combined complete thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy is a minimally invasive,feasible and safe surgical procedure for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma with quick postoperative recovery,and is worthy of furtherclinical application.
结直肠癌是一种严重威胁我国国民生命的恶性肿瘤,近年来其发病率呈不断上升的趋势。根据WHO报告的资料[1]显示,我国结直肠癌死亡率2005年比1991年增加70.7%,年均增加4.71%。尽管对结直肠癌的病因学研究和以手术切除、放射治疗和化学药物治疗为主的综合治疗取得了一定进展,但结直肠癌的治疗仍然面临巨大挑战。对不同个体采用相同的治疗方案不仅不能提高治疗效果,而且造成医疗资源的浪费,甚至给患者带来伤害。目前,个体差异与疗效的关系越来越受到临床医生和研究者的重视。随着循证医学的不断发展,结直肠癌的个体化治疗日益成为临床治疗及基础研究的重点。结直肠肿瘤多学科协作(multidisciplinary team,MDT)诊治模式的运用为结直肠癌个体化诊治提供了新的平台[2]。....................
[Abstract]Bone metastasis is one of the common complications of lung cancer, which seriously affects the quality of life and survival of patients. At present, the clinical diagnosis of bone metastasis of lung cancer mainly depends on imaging methods, but due to its lack of sensitivity and potential radiation risk, about half of patients have already had bone-related events when they are diagnosed clearly. The treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer mainly depends on surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunosuppressants, etc. Although the treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer has made some progress in recent years, there are still some problems such as high risk of other distant metastasis. This article mainly reviews the pathogenesis, diagnostic biomarkers and treatment progress of bone metastasis of lung cancer, in order to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of bone metastasis of lung cancer.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of rehabilitation exercise on exercise tolerance and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with non-acute coronary syndrome (non-ACS) after interventional therapy.MethodsA total of 102 patients with coronary heart disease and non-ACS in our hospital from December 2018 to June 2019 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (n=51, 30 males and 21 females with an average age of 56.1±4.8 years) and a trial group (n=51, 34 males and 17 females with an average age of 55.1±4.9 years). The control group received routine treatment, while the trial group received regular supervised rehabilitation exercise on the basis of routine treatment. Patients were followed up for 6 months to compare the differences in cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure, blood lipid, fasting blood glucose), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), adverse lifestyle changes and treatment compliance between the two groups after treatment.ResultsThe difference of 6MWD between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the trial group, 6MWD increased after intervention compared with that before intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Comparison of total cholesterol (TC), high density liptein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density liptein cholesterol (LDL-C) and fasting blood glucose in the trial group before and after intervention showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The differences in TC, HDL-C and LDL-C in the control group before and after intervention were statistically significant (P<0.05). It was statistically significant in dietary compliance rate, smoking cessation rate and alcohol cessation rate between the two groups (P<0.05); the differences in the dietary compliance and drug compliance of the trial group before and after intervention were statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionRegular supervised rehabilitation exercise can significantly improve the exercise tolerance and cardiovascular risk factors of non-ACS patients after coronary intervention treatment, so as to improve the quality of life and long-term prognosis of non-ACS patients, which is worthy of clinical application.
Objective To explore the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on senile patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. MethodsFortysix patients were divided into the therapeutic group (rhGH, n=17) and control group (n=29). Both were treated with parenteral nutrition. In the therapeutic group, rhGH (8 u/d) was given hypodermically for 7 days. After operation the levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and immunoglobulin were measured. Postoperative fatigue syndrome and the average length of stay in hospital were observed too. ResultsAfter operation the levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, and immunoglobulin in the therapeutic group were significantly higher than those of control group. The degree of postoperative fatigue syndrome in the therapeutic group was less than that of control group. The average length of stay in hospital was significantly shortened. Conclusion The early application of rhGH in senile patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy can enhance immune function, reduce the incidence of infection, promote the postoperative recovery, shorten the average length of stay in hospital,decrease the mortality, increase the safety of operation and improve the postoperative life quality of senile patients.
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of the ketogenic diet (KD) in the treatment of genetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Methods Clinical data from 42 children with genetically confirmed refractory epileptic encephalopathy treated in the Department of Neurology, Jinan Children’s Hospital, between January 2021 and October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A classic KD protocol was implemented, and outcomes including seizure frequency, electroencephalogram (EEG) improvement, and adverse reactions were observed at 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment. Results Among the 42 children, the seizure-free rates at 3, 6, and 12 months of KD treatment were 16.7%, 16.7%, and 14.3%, respectively, while the effective seizure control rates were 69.0%, 52.4%, and 35.7%. At 3 months, comparison of baseline characteristics between the effective and ineffective groups showed no statistically significant differences in gender (P=0.095), age at onset (P=0.648), age at KD initiation(P=0.768), disease duration before KD (P=0.519), presence of abnormal brain MRI findings (P=0.226), epilepsy syndrome classification(P=0.344), or ion channel gene involvement (P=0.066). EEG improvement rates at 6 and 12 months were 54.2% (24 cases) and 42.8% (14 cases), respectively. Retention rates for KD at 3, 6, and 12 months were 100.0%, 71.4%, and 42.8%. Adverse reactions occurred in 7 patients (16.7%), primarily gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, constipation, diarrhea; 6 cases) and elevated uric acid (1 case), with no severe adverse events reported. Conclusion KD is an effective treatment for genetic DEE with favorable short-term safety, though long-term adherence requires attention.
