ObjectiveTo explore the utility and advantage of same-day surgery mode of Mammotome minimally invasive operation (MMT) in ambulatory surgery center, and summarize the key points of clinical management.MethodsFemale patients who underwent MMT in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between June and December 2019 were included. According to the operation mode, the patients were divided into same-day surgery group and routine group (routine day operation). The perioperative data were analyzed.ResultsA total of 1 297 female patients were included. Among them, 571 cases were in the same-day surgery group and 726 cases were in the routine group. There was no significant difference in baseline data, intra-operative bleeding volume, operation time, or complication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the number of masses (χ2=13.384, P<0.001), pathological type (χ2=11.990, P=0.007) and operation method (χ2=89.185, P<0.001). The length of hospital stay in the same-day surgery group was significantly shorter than that in the routine group (Z=–29.746, P<0.001); the cost of biopsy (Z=–8.549, P<0.001), the cost of surgical instruments (Z=–9.564, P<0.001), and the total cost of hospitalization (Z=–10.378, P<0.001) in the same-day surgery group were less than those in the routine group. In addition, the result of generalized estimating equation showed that the postoperative pain scores of patients in the same-day surgery group were lower than those in the routine group (P<0.001).ConclusionsThe same-day surgery mode of MMT is safe and feasible with high time economic benefits, which is worthy promoting in ambulatory surgery center. Cautions should addressed with patients’ safe and high-quality health education.

This article starts with psychological intervention, nutrition guidance, patient exercise and medication guidance, and explores the application of continuity of care in patients with end-stage renal disease complicated with sarcopenia, analyzes the application of continuity of care in patients with end-stage renal diseases, and describes the implementation content and form of continuity of care, aiming to help its further promotion in clinic.
ObjectiveTo review the present clinical evaluation of treatment for chronic low back pain. MethodsThe literature on the effectiveness evaluation method of chronic low back pain was reviewed and summarized. ResultsMany scoring systems are used to assess the treatment for chronic low back pain through the evaluation of pain and functional disability. The function evaluations are divided into general and disease-specific evaluations. Currently the most widely used evaluation systems are as follows: short-form 36 health survey scale (SF-36), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RDQ), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) low back pain scoring system, Quebec back pain disability scale (QBPDS), and Macnab criteria. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS) are usually used to evaluate the pain degree. ConclusionThere are many effectiveness evaluation methods of chronic low back pain, but there is still a lack of more comprehensive, concise, and practical evaluation method. Further studies are required to develop it.
Objective To investigate the application value of spiral CT postprocessing technique in the airway stent implantation technology. Methods Twenty-three patients with malignant airway stenosis or malignant tracheoesophageal fistula who needed the treatment of airway stent implantation from May 2012 to April 2016 were collected, including 19 males and 4 females with an average age of (61.6±10.0) years. Bronchoscopy and spiral CT with three-dimensional airway reconstruction were proceeded for the same patients before and after stent implantation, and the relevant data about narrow airway was measured by volume rendering, multiplanar reformation (MPR) and CT virtual endoscopy (CTVE) in a variety of ways, to confirm the location and size of narrow airway and fistulas, the degree and length of airway stenosis, as well as the distal end of the situation, and evaluate the patency of airway, the position and shape of stents, adjacent airway and complications after stenting. The positive forecast outcomes of the two inspections wascompared. Results Airway stents were placed successfully according to the data from the spiral CT airway three-dimensional reconstruction. Thirty stents were implantated in the 23 patients, including 21 column-type stents, 3 L-type stents, and 6 Y-type stents. All stents stayed in situ, with patency and no deformation.The fistulas were closed and the airways were reopened. Symptoms of cough after eating and drinking and dyspnea were relieved. The positive rates of bronchoscopy and CT examination on diagnosis of airway stenosis were both 100% (23/23). Complications: MRP showed tumor growth leading to stenosis again in 3 patients, and CTVE displayed mucous congestion in 2 patients. Conclusions The technique of 64-layer spiral CT postprocessing technique can measure the relate data of airway stricture or fistulas as a kind of convenient, quick, accurate, and noninvasive method in patients with malignant airway stenosis or tracheoesophageal fistula who need the treatment of airway stenting. It is of high reference value both to airway stent implanting and postoperative observation, and is worthy of application.
