【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the applicatble value of absorbable biomedical membrane (ABMM) in thyroid operation.MethodsABMM (size 0.02 cm) was placed between trachea and the skin flap trachea and the anterior muscles of the neck, and between anterior muscles of neck and the skin flap after radical cure for thyroid cancer of thyroidectomy including one or two lobes. ResultsConglutination under the incision was significantly lighter in experiment group (153 cases ) than control group (139 cases) ( P＜0.05）, but the difference of complication between two groups was insignificant after postoperative followup for 6 weeks. ConclusionABMM can effectively prevent conglutination under the incision without increasing of postoperative complications.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of selective angiography and embolization treatment in massive biliary hemorrhage in emergency. Methods Eleven cases of massive biliary bleeding were selectively angiographied and embolized with thread segment and gelatin sponge grain by Seldinger technique in emergency. Results Massive biliary bleeding in this series included bleeding after biliary surgery (7), post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy bleeding (1), bleeding from traumatic injury to liver (1), and rupture of huge hepatic cancer (2). There were 9 cases with abnormal angiographic findings including contrast medium leakage (9), tumor vessels and tumor tissue staining (2) and signs of pseudo-aneurysm formation (4). All the bleedings were stopped after emergency intervention but 2 cases with recurrent massive bleeding after 48 hours. Conclusion Emergency trans-catheter embolization treatment is an effective and safe method for biliary massive hemorrhage. It is also important to keep the biliary tract unobstructed.
ObjectiveTo explore the comprehensive hospital administrative management system for urban and rural cooperation in the process of medical reform. MethodsBy reviewing literature and interviewing directors of the administrative departments and hospital medical staff, we gradually established and improved the administrative management system for urban and rural hospital counterpart support. ResultsBetween 2010 and 2013, 123 medical workers were dispatched to support eight county-level hospitals, after which the comprehensive capacity, and technology and quality control in those hospitals were largely improved. Till the end of 2013, two of those hospitals were promoted to be grade-three class-B comprehensive hospitals; two were promoted as grade-two class-A comprehensive hospitals; three passed the reassessment to be grade-two class-A comprehensive hospitals; and another three county-level medical centers were promoted to be city-level key disciplines. ConclusionThe comprehensive administrative management system improves the management level of grass-roots hospitals at the county level; promotes the social public welfare of tertiary public hospital counterpart support; facilitates the process of medical system reform at the county level; establishes a series of administrative management modes such as unified support, personnel management, assessment standards and evaluation system; and promotes the sustainability of long-term counterpart support system.
Objective To analyze clinical characteristics and treatment experience of 143 tibetan victims of China Yushu earthquake, so as to provide reference for emergency preparation for earthquake disasters. Methods A retrospective study from April 16th to April 22th, 2010 was designed. A total of 143 injured Tibetans (74 men, 69 women) of the magnitude 7.1 Yushu earthquake were included in this study. Data from victims was collected retrospectively as follows: age, gender, cause of injury, place and time of rescue, chief complaint, primary diagnosis, onsite treatment, transfer, psychological crisis intervention and so on. Results The 143 tibetan victims contained 67 fracture cases (4 open fracture, 63 closed fracture), 5 joint dislocation cases and 3 neural injury cases. 62 victims with fracture were treated by Tibetan-Chinese therapy combined with external fixation, 5 victims were operated with emergency surgery, 6 victims refused to the surgical debridement and suture, and no dead case reported. All patients were given 3 to 11 psychological intervention treatments. As to the aspect of the wounded transferring, 48 cases among 54 supposed evacuating victims were transferred to Xinin hospitals, and the other six refused to be transferred and kept staying in the original place for treatment. Conclusion The clinical characteristics of the tibetan victims are outstanding. The medical rescue for disaster in ethnic region should be appropriate for features of disaster areas.Both the individualized remedy and early psychological intervention are regarded as the important measures for improving the general level of earthquake medical rescue in ethnic regions.
ObjectiveTo summarize the injury characteristics and therapeutic strategy of patients injured in " 8·8” Jiuzhaigou earthquake.MethodsThe clinical data of 48 patients injured in " 8·8” Jiuzhaigou earthquake who were admitted to Mianyang Central Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. There were 25 males and 23 females with an average age of 36 years (range, 5-87 years). The average interval from injury to admission was 30 hours (range, 3-53 hours). The patients from Sichuan province accounted for 45.8% (22 cases), from other province for 52.1% (25 cases), and from abroad for 2.1% (1 case). Patients were primarily hurted by collapsing houses and flying stones. Thirty-seven patients (77.1%) had single injury, mainly involving 36 patients (75.0%) in limbs, and the other 11 patients (22.9%) had multiple injuries. Ten patients (20.8%) had open fractures, including 1 case rated as typeⅠ, 2 as typeⅡ, 3 as type Ⅲa, 2 as type Ⅲb, and 2 as type Ⅲc according to Gustilo classification criteria. The abbreviated injury scale (AIS) score was 2-3 in 37 patients of single injury, and the injury severity score (ISS) was 8-22 (mean, 13.2) in 11 patients of multiple injuries. Sixteen patients (33.3%) were diagnosed as mental disorders by Hamilton rating scale for anxiety (HAMA), including 8 cases had their anxiety scores≥29, 4 cases of 21-28, 3 cases of 14-20, and 1 case of 7-13. Of the 16 patients, 2 showed suicidal tendency.ResultsExcept 2 referrals, 30 patients received operation［28 patients (93.3%) for orthopaedic surgeries］and 16 patients received conservative treatment. The procedures included internal fixation, soft tissue debridement, external fixation, bipolar femoral head replacement, embolization of carotid cavernous sinus arteriovenous fistula, and amputation. Among the 46 patients treated in this hospital, 21 discharged from hospital at 2-12 days (mean, 6.7 days) after admission, the others received further rehabilitation in this hospital or local hospital. No undesirable consequence occurred in 16 patients with mental disorders. Five cases of infection occurred out of hospital were cured after debridement. No dead and nosocomial infection case reported.ConclusionIntensive treatment, specialist management, multidisciplinary team, and early intervention of nosocomial infection and deep venous thrombosis are the key to improve the general level of successful earthquake medical rescue.
