  • Risk Factor Analysis of Delayed Recovery of Consciousness after Aortic Arch Surgery

    Objective To determine risk factors of delayed recovery of consciousness after aortic arch surgery underdeep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP). Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 113 patients who underwent aortic arch surgery under DHCA+ASCP in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University from October 2004 to April 2012. According to whether they regained consciousness within 24 hours after surgery, all the 113 patients were divided into normal group (73 patients including 55 males and 18 females with their average age of 48.1±10.9 years) and delayed recovery group (40 patients including 29 males and 11 females with their average age of 52.2±11.4 years). Risk factors of delayed recovery of consciousness after surgery were evaluated by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Nine patients (8.0%) died postoperatively, including 5 patients with multi-organ failure, 2 patients with heart failure, 1 patient with mediastinal infection, and 1 patient with pulmonary hemorrhage. There were 7 deaths (17.5%) in the delayed recovery group and 2 deaths (2.7%) in the normal group, and the in-hospital mortality of the delayed recovery group was significantly higher than that of the normal group (P=0.016). A total of 94 patients (including 65 patients in the normal group and 29 patients in the delayed recovery group) were followed up for 4-95 months. Eight patients (including 5 patients in the normal group and 3 patients in the delayed recovery group) died during follow-up, including 2 patients with stroke, 3 patients with heart failure, 2 patients with pulmonary hemorrhage and 1 patient with unknown cause. Ten patients were lost during follow-up. Univariate analysis showed that age (P=0.042), hypertension (P=0.017), emergency surgery (P=0.001), cardiopu- lmonary bypass (CPB) time (P=0.007), aortic cross-clamp time (P=0.021), and blood transfusion(P=0.012)were risk factors of delayed recovery of consciousness after aortic arch surgery. Multivariate logistic regression showed that emergency surgery (P=0.005) and CPB time>240 minutes (P=0.000) were independent risk factors of delayed recovery of consciousness after aortic arch surgery. Conclusion Delayed recovery of consciousness after aortic arch surgery is attributed to a combination of many risk factors. Correct patient diagnosis, lesion site and involved scope should be made clear preoperatively in order to choose appropriate surgical strategies. During the surgery, strengthened brain protection, shortened operation time, improved surgical techniques, and perioperative stable circulation maintenance are all important measures to prevent delayed recovery of consciousness after aortic arch surgery.

  • ISOFLURANE PRODUCES DELAYED PRECONDITIONING AGAINST RENAL ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION INJURY VIA HYPOXIA INDUCIBLE FACTOR 1α ACTIVATION

    Objective Isoflurane has an acute preconditioning effectiveness against ischemia in kidney, but this beneficial effectiveness can only last for 2-3 hours. To investigate whether isoflurane produces delayed preconditioningagainst renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and whether this process is mediated by hypoxia inducible factor 1α(HIF- 1α). Methods A total of 52 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=13 in each group): the controlgroup (group A), PBS/isoflurane treated group (group B), scrambled small interference RNA (siRNA)/isoflurane treated group (group C), and HIF-1α siRNA/isoflurane treated group (group D). In groups C and D, 1 mL RNase-free PBS containing 50 μg scrambled siRNA or HIF-1α siRNA was administered via tail vein 24 hours before gas exposure, respectively. Equivalent RNasefree PBS was given in groups A and B. Then the mice in groups B, C, and D were exposed to 1.5% isoflurne and 25%O2 for 2 hours; while the mice in group A received 25%O2 for 2 hours. After 24 hours, 5 mice in each group were sacrificed to assesse the expressions of HIF-1α and erythropoietin (EPO) in renal cortex by Western blot. Renal I/R injury was induced with bilateral renal pedicle occlusion for 25 minutes followed by 24 hours reperfusion on the other 8 mice. At the end of reperfusion, the serum creatinine (SCr), the blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the histological grading were measured. Results The expressions of HIF-1α and EPO in groups B and C were significantly higher than those in group A (P lt; 0.01). The concentrations of SCr and BUN in groups B and C were significantly lower than those in group A, as well as the scores of tubules (P lt; 0.01), and the injury of kidney was amel iorated noticeably in groups B and C. The expressions of HIF-1α and the concentrations of SCr and BUN in group D were significantly lower than those in group A (P lt; 0.01). Compared with groups B and C, the expression of HIF- 1α and EPO in group D decreased markedly (P lt; 0.01), the concentrations of SCr and BUN were increased obviously, as well asthe scores of tubules (P lt; 0.01), and the renal injury was aggratived significantly. Conclusion Isoflurane produces delayed preconditioning against renal I/R injury, and this beneficial effectiveness may be mediated by HIF-1α.

  • BRIDGING EFFECT OF EXPANSION PREFABRICATION ON CROSSING AREA SUPPLY AXIAL PATTERNFLAP IN PIGS

    To explore the effects of tissue expansion on the anastomoses and the survival of the axial pattern flap with a crossing area supply so as to improve the survival of crossing area axial pattern flap and to provide a new idea for the development of original crossing area axial flap. Methods The experiment included two parts. Experiment A was divided into expansion group and control group. Square flaps were randomly designed on own control bilaterally in each animal with a boundary of midl ine. Experiment B was divided into expansion group and delay group. The flaps were also randomly designed on own control bilaterally. Angiographic analysis and gross survival observation were carried on. Results ExperimentA: Angiography showed that there were abundant anastomoses with big cal iber between deep il iac circumflex artery and superior epigastric artery in expansion group and there were only 3-4 anastomoses in control group. Experiment B: Angiography showed that there were abundant anastomoses with big cal iber in expansion group and there were two arterial systems with relatively less anastomoses and smaller cal iber in delay group. The survival rates in expansion group was significantly higher than that in the control group (90.16% ± 3.61% vs 72.67% ± 5.35%) in experiment A, and in experiment B the survival rate was 92.08% ± 3.30% in the expansion group and 80.79% ± 4.52% in the delay group, showing significant difference (P lt; 0.01). Conclusion Expansi on prefabrication can and improve the survival of the crossing area supply axial pattern flap. The mechanism is the bridging effect.

  • CLINICAL APPLICATION OF PEDICULATED SUPER LONG RANDOMIZED FLAP: INTRODUCTION TO DELAY TRANSFER OF BIPOLAR DOUBLE PEDICULATED RANDOMIZED FLAP

    Abstract A doublepediculated randomized flap parallal to the longitudinal axis of the extremity was designed. The skin and the subcutaneous tissue superficial to the deep fascia was incised on both sides of the axis of the flap. The subcutaneous tissue was separated from the deep fascia. The two ends of the flap should not be incised, thus a bipolar doulepediculated flap was formed. A silicone membrane was placed under the flap toobstruct the blood supply of the flap partially so that the delay effect was created. After 10~14 days, one end of the pedicles was divided so thata pediculated superlong randomized flap was formed. The flap was transferred to cover the wound on the recipient area. The wound on the donor site was closed directly or covered by split skin graft. From Janurary 1991 to July 1994,this technique was used in 8 patients (male 6, female 2). The age averaged 30 years old. These cases included 5 cases of fracture complicated with skin defect or scar on leg and 3 cases of crashing injury of the lower extremity. The length and width of the flap and the width of the pedicle ranged from 20cm×7cm×4cm to 29cm×10cm×3cm respectively. The flaps were completely survived after operation. The wound and the exposed deep tissues such as bone, tendon, nerve and vessels were covered and repaired. As a consequence that the pediculated superlong randomized flap was effective in repairing soft tissue defect.

  • The effects of celecoxib-poly lactide-co-glycolide microparticles on rat retina after intravitreal injection

    Objective To investigate the effects of celecoxib-poly lactide-co-glycolide microparticles (CEL-PLGA-MS) on rat retina after intravitreal injection. Methods A total of 32 male Brown Norway rats were randomly divided into CEL-PLGA-MS group and celecoxib group, 16 rats in each group. The rats in CEL-PLGA-MS group were divided into four dosage group, four rats in each group, which received intravitreal injection of PLGA with celecoxib at the concentration of 40, 80, 160, 320 mu;mol/L, respectively. The rats in celecoxib group were divided into four dosage group, four rats in each group, which received intravitreal injection of celecoxib at the concentration of 40, 80, 160, 320 mu;mol/L, respectively. Phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was injected in two rats as PBS control group. Two rats as normal control group received no treatment. The difference of retinal thickness among groups was measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The morphological and histological change of retina was evaluated under light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Results There was no difference of retinal thickness between normal control group and PBS control group (F=0.12,P>0.05). At the first week after injection, the retinal thickness of CEL-PLGA-MS group and celecoxib group were thicker than that in normal control group and PBS control group (F=9.62, 46.13;P<0.01). The retinal thickness of celecoxib group was thicker than that in CEL-PLGA-MS group (F=165.15,P<0.01). The retinal thickness was estimated equal among 40, 80, 320 mu;mol/L dosage groups in CEL-PLGA-MS group (F=4.79,P<0.01). The retinal thickness of 160, 320 mu;mol/L dosage group were thicker than that in 40, 80 mu;mol/L dosage group in celecoxib group (F=28.10,P<0.01). At the second week after injection, there was no difference of retinal thickness between CEL-PLGA-MS and celecoxib group (F=3.79,P>0.05); the retinal thickness of CEL-PLGA-MS and celecoxib group became thinner gradually compare to the first week after injection (F=7.28, 103.99; P<0.01). At the fourth week after injection, the retinal thickness of celecoxib group was thicker than that in CEL-PLGA-MS group (F=19.11,P<0.01). The retinal thickness of CEL-PLGA-MS group was approximately the same to normal control group and PBS control group (F=2.02,P>0.05). The retinal thickness of celecoxib group was thicker than that in normal control group and PBS control group. No considerable abnormality of the retina was seen by light microscope and the retinal thickness corresponded with the values measured by OCT at the first week after injection. The abnormal structures of the retina were seen in 160, 320 mu;mol/L dosage group of celecoxib group and inner changed evidently by the transmission electron microscope. Disordered arrangement of microfilaments, dilated microtubule and some mitochondria vacuolation were observed in 320mu;mol/L dosage group of celecoxib group. Others changed slightly. Conclusions CEL-PLGA-MS has less toxicity on the retina than free-celecoxib after intravitreal injection. The safety of intravitreal injection with CEL-PLGA-MS is better than celecoxib.

  • Implant Success Ratio between Implant Immediate Loading/ Early Loading and Delayed Loading: A Meta-analysis

    Objective To use a meta-analytic technique to estimate the survival of implants between immediate loading/early loading and delayed loading. Methods We carried out a systematic search of electronic databases for all prospective trials comparing conventional delayed implant loading with early or immediate implant loading, reported between 1997 and 2007. The outcome of interest was implant failure rate. Quality assessment was performed for prospective trials that met the eligibility criteria and the data were then extracted and analyzed. Results Sixteen articles were found to meet the eligibility criteria, but two studies were reported in four articles, so that 14 articles were analyzed. There were five randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Compared to delayed loading, implant failure occurred sl ightly, but not statistically significant,less often with early implant loading (OR=0.54, 95%CI 0.22 to 1.33, P =0.18). We combined all cohort studies and this analysis was consistent with this result. Immediate implant loading was associated with slightly, but not statistically significant, worse outcomes (OR=1.51, 95%CI 0.53 to 4.25, P =0.44). We only pooled the RCTs and results showed better implant success rate with immediate implant loading, but with no significant difference. When sensitivity analyses were performed by the sequential dropping of a single study, no significant differences were observed except when the study of Jo et al was excluded. Conclusion Early implant loading was associated with better outcomes compared to delayed loading when the implants were placed into good quality bone. There was no significant difference of the implant success rate between immediate loading and delayed loading. Further evaluations in adequately powered large RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

  • The Value of Selecting Appropriate Delay Time in Computed Tomography Urography Based on the Type of Delayed Imaging

    ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between image development types and delay time in computed tomography urography (CTU) examination and to investigate the value of choosing reasonable delay time to get the best images. MethodWe collected the data of 62 patients who underwent multi-slice CTU examination without fully developed images within 8 minutes from January 2010 to May 2014. There were 35 unilateral and 27 bilateral delayed imaging patients with a total of 89 cases. According to the degree of imaging development after the delayed 8 minutes, we divided it into 4 levels as follows:level 0 (no development), levelⅠ (light development), levelⅡ (partial development) and levelⅢ (full development). LevelⅢ was not included in this study. For level 0 to levelⅡ, we delayed scan for 15 to 1 440 minutes. ResultsAs the imaging development degree decreased, the delay time obviously extended. LevelⅡ could be fully displayed after 15 to 150 minutes of delayed scan. LevelⅠ could be fully displayed after 150 to 720 minutes. Level 0 still had no imaging development after 120 minutes, so there was no need to continue scanning. ConclusionsSelecting appropriate delay time of CTU based on the type of delayed imaging development can avoid unnecessary repeated delay scans, get the best development images, and estimate the kidney secretion functions, which is most helpful for accurate diagnosis of urinary system related diseases.

    ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of antecolic duodenojejunostomy (ADJ) and retrocolic duodenojejunostomy (RDJ) after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). MethodsRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ADJ versus RDJ after PPPD were searched in Cochrane Library, PubMed database, Embase database, Web of Science, Chinese biomedicine database, CNKI database, VIP database, and Wanfang database from inception to April 2014, as well as Google. After quality assessment of RCTs according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version, Meta analysis was performed by RevMan 5.1 software. ResultsFour RCTs of 462 patients in total were included in this Meta-analysis. The results of Meta-analysis showed that, there were no significant differences in the operation time (MD=14.02, 95% CI:-41.42-69.46, P=0.62), incidence of postoperative complications (RR=1.09, 95% CI:0.81-1.48, P=0.56), incidence of delayed gastric emptying (RR=0.63, 95% CI:0.31-1.28, P=0.20), incidence of pancreatic fistula (RR=1.13, 95% CI:0.72-1.75, P=0.60), incidence of abdominal abscess (RR=0.92, 95% CI:0.54-1.58, P=0.77), and mortality (RR=0.61, 95% CI:0.24-1.60, P=0.32) between ADJ group and RDJ group. ConclusionsThe effectiveness of ADJ is similar with RDJ after PPPD, so the reconstruction way after PPPD can be routed according to the surgeon's preference.
