Objective To study hemostasis of a new chitosan hemostatic powder. Methods Twenty-four adult SD rats were made the models of l iver injury, male or female, and weighing 210-240 g. They were divided into three groups randomly (n=8) depending on different hemostatic powders. The incision of the l iver was treated with 300 mg Yunnan baiyao (group A1), chitosan hemostatic powder of pH6.5 (group B1) and pH7.5 (group C1), respectively. The bleeding time and bleeding amount were recorded. In vitro, with the modified Ree-White method, 2 mL artery blood from New Zealand whiterabbit was added into the 0.2 mL solution of Yunnan baiyao, chitosan hemostatic powder of pH6.5 and pH7.5 (concentration of 0.2 mg/mL), respectively. The blood coagulation time was recorded. The chitosan blood clots of group B2 and group C2 were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results The bleeding time of group A1, group B1 and group C1 was (292 ± 31), (261 ± 23), and (224 ± 28) s, respectively, the bleeding amount was (1.63 ± 0.21), (1.47 ± 0.18), and (1.18 ± 0.17) g, respectively, showing statistically significant differences between groups B1, C1, and group A1 (P lt; 0.05), between group C1 and group B1 (P lt; 0.05). The blood clotting time of group A2, group B2, and group C2 was (653 ± 41), (255 ± 20), and (202 ± 11) s, respectively, showing statistically significant differences between groups B2, C2, and group A2 (P lt; 0.05), between group C2 and group B2 (P lt; 0.05). The SEM showed that the blood cells of group B2 and group C2 gathered around the chitosan. Conclusion Chitosan hemostatic powder of pH7.5 has good hemostasis.
Objective To prepare a self-made compound, hemostatic jelly with polylactic acid(PLA), which has the hemostatic and absorbable effect on injured cancellous bone. Methods Two bone defects of 5 mm in diameter and 4 mm in depth were subjected on 20 health rabbits by drilling through their either outside plate of the iliac, and were filled with hemostatic jelly(group A), bone wax(group B) and blank(group C) respectively. Hemostasis were observed and recorded after 1 and 10 minutes. Five specimens were harvested at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks postoperatively for histological observation. Results ① Hemostatic effect: Bleeding of injured spongy bone stopped within 10 minutes after the treatment of hemostatic jelly and bone wax, but bleeding of balnk did not stop. Hemostatic jelly and bone wax adhered to bone defects firmly within 10 minutes was after the treatment. ② Absorbable effect: Hemostatic jelly and bone defects have not changed visibly in the first 2 weeks. With histological observation 4 to 8 weeks after the operation, hemastatic jelly was absorbed gradually and replaced by osteogenous tissue. It was absorbed completely after 8 to 12 weeks. Bone wax was not absorbed after 12 weeks, no new bone tissue was observed at bone wax area. The blank was replaced by connective tissue and osteogenous tissue partially after 12 weeks. Conclusion The compound hemostatic jelly manifests both hemostatic and absorbable effects on injured cancellous bone and may substitute for bone wax in clinical application.
OBJECTIVE: To validate the hemostatic properties of collagen sponge made in China. METHODS: The experimental model of superficial cut of liver was established in 20 Sprague-Dawley adult rats, which were divided into two groups randomly. Collagen sponge or gelatin sponge was used to cover the cut respectively. Hemostatic result was observed. Afterwards, standard liver trauma model by resection left front liver lobe was made, wound was treated with collagen sponge or gelatin sponge respectively. Hemostatic result was observed. Concurrent hemostatic time and bleeding amount were noted. At 7, 14 and 20 days after operation, intra-abdominal adhension, infection and healing state of liver were observed by exploratory laparotomy. The histological changes of regenerate liver tissue were observed by microscopy. RESULTS: Collagen sponge adhered to wound well. Concurrent hemostatic time and bleeding amount in collagen sponge group were superior to those of gelatin sponge (P lt; 0.05). The histological examination showed that collagen sponge was absorbed and degraded rapidly, regenerative hepatocytes could be induced. CONCLUSION: Collagen sponge has fine hemostatic properties and can induce regeneration of hepatocytes effectively. It is worth popularizing for its convenience in clinical application and its properties of rapid degradation and absorption.
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic and therapeutic value of laparoscopy in acute abdomen. MethodsRelated literatures were collected to analyze the advantages, the scope of application, and the effect on the body of laparo-scopy, and to clearly defined the indications of laparoscopy in acute abdomen and related taboos. ResultsMost people could be tolerated for CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Laparoscopic surgery had a certain advantages compared with open surgery in the diagnosis and treatment. It was widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen. ConclusionLaparo-scopic surgery is recommended for acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, peptic ulcer perforation, and so on, but it is still controversial in intestinal obstruction, intestinal diverticulum perforation, and the application of abdominal trauma, which need more randomized controlled studies comparing with open operation.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the influence on ovarian reserve function by different hemostatic methods during laparoscopic cystectomy in treatment of ovarian endometrioma (OE). MethodsDatabases including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data were electronically searched, to collect relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about laparoscopic electro coagulation vs. microscopically suture for OE from 1990 to Mar, 2014. Meanwhile, references of included studies were also retrieved manually. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then RevMan 5.2 software was used for meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 16 RCTs involving 1 236 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the luteinizing hormone (LH) levels after 1 month, 2 months, 6 months and 12 months and estradiol (E2) levels after 2 months, 6 months had no significant differences between the two groups and the E2 level after 12 month of the suture group was significantly lower than that of the electro coagulation group. The levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), LH, E2, antral follicle count (AFC), mean ovarian stromal peak systolic blood flow velocity (PSV) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in the suture group were significantly superior to those in the electro coagulation group at other follow-up time. ConclusionCurrent evidence suggests that in treatment of ovarian endometriotic cyst by laparoscopic cystectomy, compared with electro coagulation hemostasis, suture hemostasis has less influence on ovarian reserve function. Due to limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
The International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) recently released the first ISTH guideline for antithrombotic treatment of COVID-19, which provides recommendations on anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents for patients with COVID-19 in different clinical settings. The target audience includes clinicians in internal medicine, intensive care, infectious diseases, hematology, vascular medicine, residents, family physicians, and other health care providers providing inpatient or outpatient care to COVID-19 patients. This article interprets the important parts of ISTH guideline.
Sodium alginate (SA) is a kind of natural polymer material extracted from kelp, which has excellent biocompatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability and abundant storage capacity. The formation condition of sodium alginate gel is mild, effectively avoiding the inactivation of active substances. After a variety of preparation methods, sodium alginate microspheres are widely used in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. This paper reviewed the common methods of preparing alginate microspheres, including extrusion, emulsification, electrostatic spraying, spray drying and coaxial airflow, and discussed their applications in biomedical fields such as bone repair, hemostasis and drug delivery.
