Objective To explore the knowledge distribution, knowledge clustering, and the trend in development of wound therapy, by revealing the same keywords with multiple statistical method and social network analysis. Methods We searched the CNKI under the term " wound” , " therapy” , and " wound therapy” in February 2016. After the core keywords had been identified by Bicomb and Endnote X6 software in each stage, the co-occurrence matrix was built. Transformation, dimensionality reduction and clustering of the co-occurrence matrix were finished by SPSS 22.0 software, leading the strategic plot to be built. The visualized network images were drawn using Ucinet 6.0 software. Results The visualized domain knowledge-mapping was successfully built, and it directly reflected the structure of knowledge-mapping of the discipline, as well as key clusters. Boost development had been identified in this research. The subject developed own core research areas and clusters, but there was still lack of fitting characteristics. The newly wound therapeutic techniques had limited correlation with other clusters, while provided limited contributions to forward this subject. However, enriched core keywords had been demonstrated, and formed clear domain parts of this subject. Conclusions The analysis demonstrates that wound therapy has developed well, and hot research points follow the direction of medication treatment. The network of wound therapeutic subject has become mature and completed within a short period. Comprehensive therapy and long term follow-up results according to evidence-based nursing have become the domain field. Moreover, the newly therapeutic techniques should be paid more attention to shift the development of this subject. And the interactive research within this subject and among other regions should be enhanced.
ObjectiveTo explore the application value of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.MethodThe domestic and foreign literatures about studies of HIFU treating advanced pancreatic cancer in recent years were retrieved and summarized.ResultsHIFU could prolong the survival time, control pain, and enhance the body’s immune function in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. There were no obvious serious complications during the treatment process. The combined treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine could obviously prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life for the patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.ConclusionsHIFU is an important component in the comprehensive treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. However, because there is no uniform standard for the dosage of HIFU treatment, the sample size of many related studies is small, so the research results have certain limitations, so more studies are needed to improve their understanding of advanced pancreatic cancer in order to better serve clinical workin future.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and is known to be in connection with stroke, dementia, heart failure and increased risk of death. For drug-refractory atrial fibrillation, surgical or catheter ablation is recommended. Early attempts to design procedures to ablate atrial fibrillation and restore sinus rhythm culminated in the Cox-Maze Ⅲ procedure, which was the first truly successful procedure. However, Cox-Maze Ⅲ procedure is complex and technically demanding, so it has been extensively modified with new techniques to create new types of surgical ablation procedures: Cox-Maze Ⅳ procedure, minimally invasive Cox-Maze Ⅳ procedure, and the latest “hybrid approach”. This review mainly discusses these surgical treatment strategies and the latest research progress.
ObjectiveTo research the influence of anticoagulation to blood clotting function in patients who experienced cardiopulmonary bypass surgery under continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulation and non-anticoagulation.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 146 patients who underwent CRRT after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery between January 2014 and December 2016. There were 98 males and 48 females at age of 60.51±14.29 years. All CRRT patients were allocated into three groups including a RCA group, a LMWH group, and a non-anticoagulation group, which were compared in terms of convention coagulation tests, platelet counts, thromboelastography, circuit lifespan and transfusion.ResultsThree hundred and fifty four CRRT patients were selected from patients above, including 152 patients in the LMWH group, 160 in the RCA group, and 42 in the non-anticoagulation group. The difference of CRRT circuits time among three groups was statistically different (P=0.023). And multiple comparison showed that the circuit lifespan of the RCA group was significantly longer than that of the non-anticoagulation group (34.50 h ranged 14.00 h to 86.00 h vs.15.00 h ranged 12.00 h to 50.88 h, P=0.033). One hundred and fifty-five CRRT patients last beyond 24 hours with same anticoagulation were selected, the results of coagulation tests, and the difference between CRRT starting and after 24 hours were compared. The difference of Angle and maximum amplitude(MA) of pre- and post-CRRT were significantly different among three groups by one-way ANOVA (P=0.004, 0.000), as well as between the RCA group and the LMWH group by multiple comparison (P=0.004, 0.000). There was no statistical difference in frequencies and doses of the transfusion of fresh frozen plasma and platelet among three groups.ConclusionRCA is an effective anticoagulation which may prolong circuit lifespan and has small impact on the coagulation function of patients who undergo CRRT after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the clinical significance of Raman spectroscopy (RS) in the auxiliary diagnosis of colon cancer (CC). MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect diagnostic tests related to RS in the auxiliary diagnosis of CC from inception to October 1st, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 12.0 and Meta-Disc 1.4 software. ResultsA total of 21 studies involving 1 419 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and positive posttest probability (PPP) for CC screening applying RS were 0.94 (95%CI 0.93 to 0.95), 0.91 (95%CI 0.90 to 0.92), 157.50 (95%CI 74.44 to 333.21), 10.40 (95%CI 6.62 to 16.33), 0.08 (95%CI 0.05 to 0.12) and 77%, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve was 0.98 (95%CI 0.96 to 0.99). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that RS is a potentially useful tool for CC screening. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnosis and treatment of severe adenovirus pneumonia patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a short time and reduce the complications after rehabilitation. MethodsThe clinical data, laboratory results, treatment process and imaging outcomes of three severe community-acquired adenovirus pneumonia patients with normal immune function were analyzed. ResultsAll the three patients developed ARDS in a very short time. In the early stage, alveolar lavage fluid obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy was taken for macrogenomic second-generation sequencing (mNGS), adenovirus was detected and antiviral drugs were immediately used. The first two patients received cidofovir antiviral therapy and the third patient received ribavirin antiviral therapy. All three patients received very high respiratory support, of which the first two received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment. The lungs of all three patients recovered well after treatment. ConclusionsThe diagnosis and treatment of severe adenovirus pneumonia is still based on individualized symptomatic support, immune regulation and treatment of complications. mNGS can help diagnose and direct treatment of adenovirus pneumonia as early as possible, which is beneficial to reduce complications and improve survival rate.

Objective To identify the predictors for readmission in the ICU among cardiac surgery patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 2 799 consecutive patients under cardiac surgery, who were divided into two groups including a readmission group (47 patients, 27 males and 20 females at age of 62.0±14.4 years) and a non readmission group (2 752 patients, 1 478 males and 1 274 females at age of 55.0±13.9 years) in our hospital between January 2014 and October 2016. Results The incidence of ICU readmission was 1.68% (47/2 799). Respiratory disorders were the main reason for readmission (38.3%).Readmitted patients had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to those requiring no readmission (23.4% vs. 4.6%, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that pre-operative renal dysfunction (OR=5.243, 95%CI 1.190 to 23.093, P=0.029), the length of stay in the ICU (OR=1.002, 95%CI 1.001 to 1.004, P=0.049), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the first postoperative day (OR=1.000, 95%CI 1.000 to 1.001, P=0.038), acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score in the first 24 hours of admission to the ICU (OR=1.171, 95%CI 1.088 to1.259, P<0.001), and the drainage on the day of surgery (OR=1.001, 95%CI1.001 to 1.002, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for readmission to the cardiac surgery ICU. Conclusion The early identification of high risk patients for readmission in the cardiac surgery ICU could encourage both more efficient healthcare planning and resources allocation.
Objective To explore the effect of constructing the closed-loop management of the wound in the day surgery patients and to reduce the incidence of poor wound healing after day surgery. Methods The medical records of patients with closed-loop wound management mode in the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2019 to 2020 were collected retrospectively. The general data of patients were collected, and the cases of delayed wound healing after operation were counted. Results A total of 17 801 patients were included, 9 802 in 2019 and 7 999 in 2020. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and adult tension-free hernia repair were the most common methods of delayed wound healing in day surgery. In the closed-loop management mode, the incidence of delayed wound healing was 0.98% (174/17 801) and the incidence of dissatisfaction related to delayed wound healing was 0.034% (6/17 801). Conclusion The clinical application of the closed-loop management of the wound in the day surgery can promote the early healing of day surgery patients, guarantee the quality of day surgery, and improve patient satisfaction.
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of duloxetine versus paroxetine for adults’ depression. Methods A search was conducted in The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2011), Pubmed (1998 to June 2011), CNKI (1998 to June 2011), VIP (1998 to June 2011), CBM (1998 to June 2011), Wanfang database (1998 to June 2011), MEDLINE (1996 to June 2011) and Science Direct (1998 to June 2011). The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on duloxetine versus paroxetine for adults’ depression were collected. The quality of the included trials was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook 5.0, and the systematic analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Six RCTs involving 1 106 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) After eight-week treatment, there were no significant differences in the effective rate (RR=0.96, 95%CI 0.89 to 1.05, P=0.39) and the final cure rate (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.86 to 1.15, P=0.93) between the duloxetine and paroxetine groups; b) Adverse reaction: The incidence rate of somnolence in the duloxetine group was lower than that of the paroxetine group (RR=0.63, 95%CI 0.41 to 0.96, P=0.03), oppositely, the incidence rate of abnormal ECG was higher in the duloxetine group (RR=1.91, 95%CI, 1.02 to 3.58, P=0.04). And the other common adverse reactions were not significantly different between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion After eight-week treatment, there are no significant differences in the effective rate and the final cure rate between duloxetine and paroxetine. Duloxetine tends easily to induce the abnormal ECG compared with paroxetine.
