Objective To investigate the relationship between early fluid management and the conversion rate to surgery in patients with sever acute pancreatitis( SAP) .Methods The patients with SAP admitted in ICU in West China Hospital from July 2005 to June 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into four groups according to the quartile of the accumulated fluid balance in the first three days after admission in ICU( lt; 25% , 25% ～50% , 50% ～75% , and gt; 75% , respectively) . The major demographic data, clinical characteristics, mortality, and conversion rate to surgery were evaluated respectively. Results 208 patients were enrolled. For each quartile, the conversion rate to surgery decreased at first, and then increased along with the increase of the accumulated fluid balance. Significant difference existed between the second quartile with the lowest conversion rate to surgery and other three quartiles ( P lt; 0. 05) . Differences were also found in mortality and the score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ( APACHEⅡ) on 24th and 48th hour between the first three quartiles and the last quartile with the highest mortality and APACHⅡ score( P lt;0. 05) . However, sex ratio, age, Ranson criteria, and the score of sequential organ failure assessment( SOFA) did not have significant differences among each quartile( P gt; 0. 05) . Conclusion Fluid management in early stage can influence conversion rate to surgery and mortality in patients with SAP.
Objective To investigate the efficiency of combining traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods The clinical results of sixty three cases of SAP of non-operative treatment with injection of Salia miltorrhizae composita, and oral or gastric tube feeding of decoction Qing-Yi-Tang were retrospectively studied. Results Thirty four cases were categorised as SAP Ⅰ grade, and 29 cases as SAP Ⅱ grade. A variety of complications occurred in 19 cases (30.16%), 3 patients died (4.76%), and 4 patients developing abscess of pancreas (6.35%) which had to be operated on.Conclusion The individualization principle on the basis of cause and clinical stage of the disease should be stressed in treating SAP. The patients who had complication needing to be operated on should be timely performed. There is a good efficiency in the treatment of SAP with the traditional Chinese medicine combining with western medicine.
Objective To summarize experiences of surgical treatment and long-term results of myasthenia gravis (MG). Methods Two hundred thirty-six patients underwent thymectomy for MG in our department from Jan.1978 to Dec. 2002. The perioperative management, relative factors of postoperative crisis and long-term results were analysed. Results In 236 patients postoperative crisis took place in 44 cases accounted for 18.6%. The occurrence of postoperative crisis was related to preoperative management, modified Osserman clinical classification and combination with thymoma. Three cases died in the postoperative periods. Among them, one died of acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by aspiration and the other died of crisis. The effective rate in 1, 3, 5 years was 84.6%, 91.0% and 89.0% respectively. Conclusions Thymectomy for MG is safe and effective. Delayed extubation could decrease the needs of tracheotomy in patients with high risk factors for postoperative crisis. The partial sternotomy approach is less traumatic but the long-term effects of surgery are identical to those reported by the most authors.
ObjectiveTo summarize the changes and interaction of the cytokine in severe acute pancreatitis associated lung injury. MethodsThe published literatures at domestic and aboard in recent years about severe acute pancreatitis associated lung injury were collected and reviewed. ResultsThe cytokines had a chain effect, and influenced each other when severe acute pancreatitis with lung injury attacked. ConclusionsRelated cytokines play important roles in severe acute pancreatitis associated lung injury. Researching the related cytokines will contribute to the diagnosis and treatment for severe acute pancreatitis with lung injury.
目的 探讨急性重症胰腺炎不同时期的治疗方式，观察治疗效果以及治疗前后的临床表现。 方法 回顾性分析2006年1月-2009年1月收治的34例急性重症胰腺炎患者的临床资料，患者给予内科规范化治疗，并对比治疗前、后的APACHEⅡ评分、主要的实验室检查指标以及CT检查表现。 结果 31例治愈，2例中途转外科治疗，1例死亡。所有患者治疗后APACHEⅡ评分较治疗前减小（Plt;0.01），治疗后血清淀粉酶和白细胞计数较治疗前明显降低（Plt;0.05），而治疗后短期内CT检查表现无明显变化。 结论 内科规范化治疗能有效地治疗急性重症胰腺炎，适当的肠内外营养和预防性使用抗生素可有效地减少急性重症胰腺炎并发症的发生。APACHE-Ⅱ评分可作为判断急性重症胰腺炎患者预后的指标。
Ten cases of ptosis from myasthenia gravis were treated by an horing myocutancous flap from upper eyelid to the frontal belly of the occipito-frontalis muscle. This flap was very elastic in texture and possessed a b hanging force, and without the ill-effect of tissue rejection. It could effectively restore the function of the upper eyelid with the aid of the action of occipito-frontalis muscle. The patients were followed up from 1 to 3 years with satisfactory results.
