Objective To introduce the treatment experiences about the skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. Methods The skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction by using transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous （TRAM） flat were performed in 10 patients with early-stage breast cancer from May 2008 to December 2011 in our hospital. The patients’ data were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were postoperative complications after skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction， including TRAM flat necrosis in 1 case， papillary necrosis in 1 case and fat necrosis in the reconstructed breast with oxter wound infection in 1 case. There was no incision hernia of abdominal wall or necrosis of all TRAM flat in any case. The patients’ satisfaction that evaluation for the breast shapes of reconstructed breasts was very satisfaction in 5 cases， part satisfaction in 4 cases， and dissatisfaction in 1 case， respectively. Conclusions Because of the minimal access approach and good breast shape， the skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate TRAM flat breast reconstruction is a safe and effective way for treating early-stage breast cancer.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of nosocomial infection in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during induction remission chemotherapy.MethodsThe children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Huai’an First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between December 2012 and December 2018 were divided into the infection group (including the severe infection subgroup and the non-severe infection subgroup) and the non-infection group according to whether nosocomial infection occurred during induction and remission chemotherapy. The clinical data of patients were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of nosocomial infection during induction remission chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.ResultsA total of 96 patients were included. There were 67 cases in the infection group (26 in the severe infection subgroup and 41 in the non-severe infection subgroup) and 29 cases in the non-infection group. Univariate analysis showed that the granulocyte deficiency time and the prevalence of skin and mucosal damage in the infection group were significantly higher than those in the non-infection group, and the infection group had significantly lower laminar bed use and serum albumin level than the non-infection group did (P< 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that prolonged agranulocytosis [odds ratio (OR)=23.075, 95% confidence interval (CI) (3.682, 144.617), P=0.001], skin and mucosal lesions [OR=12.376, 95%CI (1.211, 126.507), P=0.034], hypoalbuminemia [OR=5.249, 95%CI (1.246, 22.113), P=0.024] were independent risk factors for nosocomial infection during induction and remission of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, while laminar bed [OR=0.268, 95%CI (0.084, 0.854), P=0.026] was the protective factor.ConclusionsLong-term agranulocytosis, skin and mucosal lesions, and hypoalbuminemia are independent risk factors for nosocomial infection in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during induction remission chemotherapy. Laminar flow bed is its protective factor.
