Objective To prepare a self-made compound, hemostatic jelly with polylactic acid(PLA), which has the hemostatic and absorbable effect on injured cancellous bone. Methods Two bone defects of 5 mm in diameter and 4 mm in depth were subjected on 20 health rabbits by drilling through their either outside plate of the iliac, and were filled with hemostatic jelly(group A), bone wax(group B) and blank(group C) respectively. Hemostasis were observed and recorded after 1 and 10 minutes. Five specimens were harvested at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks postoperatively for histological observation. Results ① Hemostatic effect: Bleeding of injured spongy bone stopped within 10 minutes after the treatment of hemostatic jelly and bone wax, but bleeding of balnk did not stop. Hemostatic jelly and bone wax adhered to bone defects firmly within 10 minutes was after the treatment. ② Absorbable effect: Hemostatic jelly and bone defects have not changed visibly in the first 2 weeks. With histological observation 4 to 8 weeks after the operation, hemastatic jelly was absorbed gradually and replaced by osteogenous tissue. It was absorbed completely after 8 to 12 weeks. Bone wax was not absorbed after 12 weeks, no new bone tissue was observed at bone wax area. The blank was replaced by connective tissue and osteogenous tissue partially after 12 weeks. Conclusion The compound hemostatic jelly manifests both hemostatic and absorbable effects on injured cancellous bone and may substitute for bone wax in clinical application.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of different uses of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer resection to provide a reference for the selection, clinical use, and rational utilization of absorbable hemostatic materials. MethodsA retrospective analysis of relevant data from inpatients who underwent VATS for lung cancer resection at a tertiary hospital from July 2019 to January 2020 and from July 2020 to December 2020 was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups based on the use of ORC: 1) combined use group (ORC and collagen sponge) and 2) sole-use group (ORC). Safety, efficacy, and economic outcome indicators were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe main analysis included a total of 904 patients, with 466 in the combined use group and 438 in the sole-use group. Compared to the combined use group, the sole-use group had a significantly longer hospital stay, used fewer hemostatic drugs, had a lower average cost of hemostatic materials, and a lower median total hospitalization cost (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of intraoperative blood loss volume, massive blood loss rate, perioperative transfusion rate, reoperation rate, postoperative 48-hour drainage volume, bloody drainage fluid rate, or postoperative laboratory test indicators. ConclusionThere was no significant difference in the safety or efficacy of VATS for lung cancer resection between the sole use of ORC and the combined use of ORC, but the sole use of ORC was associated with a lower cost of hemostatic materials and a lower total hospitalization cost. The sole use of hemostatic gauze in VATS for lung cancer resection may be a more cost-effective choice.
Three different methods of electrocautery were used to study the effects of electrocoagu-lation on limbs and intraabdominal blood vessel of 6 rabbits. These methods are non-touching, touching and segmental electrocoagulation. The results show that all three methods can satisfactorily stop bleeding of the blood vessel which is smaller than 1. 5mm in diameter. For arteries with the diameter 1.5～2.0mm. the effect of segment electrocoagulation is better than the other methods because it has a long burn end after cautery.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness in the treatment of single segment thoracic vertebra tuberculosis by limited decompression combined with epidural absorbable haemostat covering and vertebral plate reconstruction based on one-stage posterior approach, debridement, bone fusion, and internal fixation. Methods Between September 2005 and March 2010, 90 cases of single segment thoracic vertebra tuberculosis were treated by using limited decompression combined with epidural absorbable haemostat covering and vertebral plate reconstruction based on one-stage posterior approach, debridement, bone fusion, and internal fixation in 44 patients (treatment group) and by one-stage posterior approach, bone fusion, and internal fixation in 46 patients (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, affected segment, Cobb angle, Frankle grade, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and Oswestry disability index (ODI) between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results All incisions healed by first intension. All 90 cases were followed up 24-44 months (mean, 38 months). There was no significant difference in ESR between 2 groups at 1 week and 3 months after operation (P gt; 0.05). Postoperative iconography indicated that the bone fusion rate of the treatment group was 100% and no epidural cicatricial tissue or failure of internal fixation was observed, showing significant difference when compared with control group (3 cases having failure of internal fixation) (P=0.032). The Cobb angles were significantly corrected after operation when compared with preoperative angles in 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). At 2 years after operation and at last follow-up, the Cobb angle and correction loss in treatment group were significantly better than those in control group (P lt; 0.05). The ODI and Frankel grade were significantly improved at last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones in 2 groups (P lt; 0.05); the treatment group was significantly better than the control group in the ODI, improvement rate of ODI (P lt; 0.05), and in Frankel grade (Uc=4.368, P=0.000). Conclusion Compared with conventional operation method, it is an ideal operation method to use limited decompression combined with epidural absorbable haemostat covering and vertebral plate reconstruction based on one-stage posterior approach, debridement, bone fusion, and internal fixation for treatment of single segment thoracic vertebra tuberculosis, with minimal wound, less complications, and good function recovery.
ObjectiveTo review trauma-induced coagulopathy and use of tranexamic acid in patients with traumatic hemorrhage. MethodsThe relevant literatures about the definition and pathogenesis of trauma-induced coagulopathy, and the use of tranexamic acid in patients with traumatic hemorrhage were reviewed. ResultsTraumatic-induced coagulopathy was a coagulation disorder in the early stage after injury, which was associated with the anticoagu-lation and increasing activity of fibrinolysis. Tranexamic acid as an anti-fibrinolytic drug, it had a good result in clinical application, which could reduce the mortality due to bleeding in use within 3 h after injury, the effect was the best in use within 1 h after injury, but it had no benefit or even would increase the mortality due to hemorrhage in use >3 h after injury. There was no standardized dosage of tranexamic acid, but the volumes of blood loss and blood transfusion had no difference under the different dosages. However, high dosage or long-term use of tranexamic acid might increase the risk of the thrombosis or epilepsy. ConclusionEmergency traumatic patients face a series of death threats related trauma. Appropriate and timely hemostasis is important for prognosis. Early, short-term, and appropriate dosage of tranexamic acid could obviously reduce mortality and adverse events, but its timing and dosages need to be further optimized.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) suture repair with wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) technique.MethodsBetween July 2017 and July 2019, 18 patients with partial ACL injury were admitted. There were 10 males and 8 females, with an average age of 40.5 years (range, 22-57 years). There were 5 cases on the left knee and 13 cases on the right knee. Forteen cases had a clear history of trauma or sports injury, and 4 cases had no obvious cause. The time from injury to operation was 1-6 months (median, 3 months). Partial ligament was sutured using WALANT technique under arthroscopy. The operation time, total hospital stay, and postoperative hospital stay were recorded. Lachman test and anterior drawer test were performed to evaluate the knee joint stability after treatment, and Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores were used to evaluate the knee function. Five-point Likert scaling were used to evaluate postoperative patient satisfaction.ResultsThe operation time was 30-100 minutes (mean, 64.2 minutes). The total hospital stay was 2-12 days (mean, 4.5 days). Postoperative hospital stay was 1-4 days (mean, 1.8 days). All incisions healed by first intention after operation, and no surgery-related complications occurred. All patients were followed up 12-36 months (mean, 19.1 months). Lachman test and anterior drawer test were negative after operation. Lysholm score and IKDC score at 6 and 12 months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation, and at 12 months after operation were higher than those at 6 months after operation, the differences were significant (P<0.05). At last follow-up, according to five-point Likert scaling of patient satisfaction, 7 cases were very satisfied, 10 cases were relatively satisfied, and 1 case was general. The total patient satisfaction rate was 94.4% (17/18). MRI scan showed the good ligament tension.ConclusionUsing WALANT technique to repair partial ACL injuries under arthroscopy can retain the patient’s own ligament tissue to the maximum extent and achieve satisfactory short-term effectiveness.
