Objective To investigate the clinical effect of retroperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty on ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods From November 2010 to September 2015, a total of 28 cases (21 males and 7 females) with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty. All the 28 patients had a previous history of different degrees of lumbar pain, which was confirmed as typical UPJO by imaging examination. Operation method: following complete renal pelvis and upper ureter isolation, the renal pelvis was clipped into a trumpet-shaped mouth, 1/3 of the upper renal pelvis was temporarily kept without section. In the inferior margin of renal pelvis, longitudinal cut procedure was operated in the ureter and across the stenotic segment in about 1–2 cm; and then, anastomosis of the ureter and the renal pelvis at the lowest was performed, to maintain the continuity of the renal pelvis and ureter. Subsequently, the stenosed segment of ureter and the dilatant renal pelvis were removed, the posterior ureteropelvic anastomosis was made with an interrupted suture, and antegrade stenting of double J tube was further performed, followed by a continuous suture of the anterior wall. Results The procedure was successfully accomplished in all patients whithout conversion to open surgery. The operating time was 90-240 minutes with the median time of 160 minutes. The estimated blood loss was 20-70 mL with the median of 50 mL. No severe surgical complication occurred in perioperative period. The 3-24 -month follow up showed that symptoms of lumbar pain were relieved or disappeared in all the incorporated patients. Postoperative radiographic examination showed no stomal stenosis at the ureteropelvic junction, and the hydronephrosis was alleviated. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for UPJO is an effective, safe, and minimally invasive surgical technique. The key to the success of the operation is to the accurate renal pelvis clipping, tension- and torsion-free anastomosis of the lowest position of the renal pelvis and the ureter, and the reconstruction of a new funnel-shaped ureteropelvic junction.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and safety of ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract in the treatment of high simple anal fistula.MethodsA prospective collection of 72 patients diagnosed with high simple anal fistula, who admitted to the department of the author’s hospital between March 2015 and December 2017 was performed, and then the patients were divided into two groups according to the random number table method combined with the patients’ wishes: the ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract group (experimental group, 32 cases) and the low incision and high hanging group (control group, 40 cases). Comparison of indexes on the operative effect and physiological function of the sphincter in six months after operation was performed.ResultsCompared with the control group, the patients in the experimental group had short postoperative pain duration, short postoperative wound healing time, high cure rate, low recurrence rate, low initial sensory threshold, high anal resting pressure, and long anal high pressure band length, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the operation time, anal maximal contractive pressure, and rectal resting pressure (P>0.05). The results suggested that the physiological function of anus in the experimental group recovered well.ConclusionThe ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract is a safe and reliable method in the treatment of high simple anal fistula, which can be widely used in the clinic.
Limb motor dysfunction is the most common sequela of stroke. Its recovery cycle is long and difficult, which has an important impact on the physiology and psychology of patients. Therefore, the recovery of limb motor function after stroke has become the focus and difficulty of current rehabilitation. Brain-limb coordinate regulation technology is a rehabilitation strategy that effectively promotes the recovery of limb motor function and brain function through the organic combination of rehabilitation technology with limbs as target organs and brain as target organs. Based on the brain-limb coordinate regulation technology, this paper will systematically elaborate its theory and application through literature review, and then provide a more reasonable and effective choice for the treatment of limb motor dysfunction in stroke patients.
ObjectiveTo develop a patient satisfaction evaluation scale for day surgery and test its reliability and validity, so as to provide a scientific and effective tool for day surgery patient satisfaction assessment.MethodsThe literature review method was used to form an entry pool, and the initial version of the scale was formed in conjunction with the expert review method. And then a preliminary survey was conducted to obtain the tentative version of the scale. Finally, 290 day surgery patients discharged between June 15th and July 15th, 2019 were selected to accomplish a survey to check the reliability and validity of the scale.ResultsFinally, a day surgery patient satisfaction evaluation scale was formed, containing 3 stages (pre-hospital, hospitalization, and postdischarge follow-up), 3 dimensions (medical staff evaluation, medical service evaluation, and environment and process evaluation), and 40 items. After the formal survey, the overall Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.980, the Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.933, the Guttman’s half-coefficient was 0.932, and the content validity was 0.87-1.00.ConclusionThe day surgery patient satisfaction evaluation scale was proven good reliability and validity, which can be used as a measurement tool for day surgery patients and applied to clinical practice.
The strategies of individualized enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) are particularly important in the anesthesia management of same-day surgery. This review focuses on the perioperative management of day surgeries following the experiences of Day Surgery Center, West China Hospital, Sichuan University and different surgeries’ guidelines of ERAS, including anesthesia evaluation, preoperative education and optimization, comorbidity management, airway management, choice of technologies and drugs during anesthesia, intraoperative monitor and anesthesia management, postoperative analgesia, postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention, and postoperative management, which is significant to ensure the discharge of the patient in time for same-day surgeries.
ObjectiveTo review the research progress of endogenous repair strategy (ERS) in intervertebral disc (IVD).MethodsThe domestic and foreign literature related to ERS in IVD in recent years was reviewed, and its characteristics, status, and prospect in the future were summarized.ResultsThe key of ERS in IVD is to improve the vitality of stem/progenitor cells in IVD or promote its migration from stem cell Niche to the tissue that need to repair. These stem/progenitor cells in IVD are derived from nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, and cartilaginous endplate, showing similar biological characteristics to mesenchymal stem cells including the expression of the specific stem/progenitor cell surface markers and gene, and also the capacity of multiple differentiations potential. However, the development, senescence, and degeneration of IVD have consumed these stem/progenitor cells, and the harsh internal microenvironment further impair their biological characteristics, which leads to the failure of endogenous repair in IVD. At present, relevant research mainly focuses on improving the biological characteristics of endogenous stem/progenitor cells, directly supplementing endogenous stem/progenitor cells, biomaterials and small molecule compounds to stimulate the endogenous repair in IVD, so as to improve the effect of endogenous repair.ConclusionAt present, ERS has gotten some achievements in the treatment of IVD degeneration, but its related studies are still in the pre-clinical stage. So further studies regarding ERS should be carried out in the future, especially in vivo experiments and clinical transformation.
Objective To compare the biological and biomechanical characteristics of decellularized bovine jugular venous tissue-engineered valved conduit scaffolds with that of fresh bovine jugular veins. Methods Fortyeight fresh bovine jugular veins were divided into control group and experimental group with random number table method, 24 veins in each group. There were fresh bovine jugular veins in control group, decellularized bovine jugular veins in experimental group. The veins of experimental group were treated with sodium deoxyeholate plus Triton-X-100 to decellularize the cells in valves and vessel walls. The thickness, water absorption rate, water maintenance rate, destroying strength, stretch rate of valves and vessel walls in two groups were detected. Results The endothelial cell and fibroblast of valves and vessel walls in experimental group were completely decellularized, no cell fragments were retained within the matrix scaffold; collagen fiber and elastin fiber had been preserved with intact structure and wavily arrayed; deoxyribonucleic acid content of valves and vessel walls in experimental group were decreased by 97.58%, 97.25% compared with that of control group. The thickness, water absorption rate and water maintenance rate of valves and vessel walls in experimental group were lightly increased than those of control group, but there were no significant differences between them （P 〉 0. 05）. There were no significant differences in destroying strength and stretch rate of valves and vessel walls between two groups （P〉0. 05）. Conclusion Decellularized bovine jugular vein scaffold has stable biological and biomechanical characteristics and it may be ideal natural fibrous matrix for developing the tissue-engineered valved conduit by host recellularization.
