Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages between double Perclose ProGlide crossing suture and traditional suture for the closure of 20F or 22F access points so as to provide a basis for selecting appropriate approach to repair the puncture points in endovascular aortic repair. Methods Between June 2007 and May 2011, 103 patients (115 common femoral arteries) underwent endovascular aortic repair using sheaths of 20F or 22F (outer diameter); double Perclose ProGlide crossing suture was performed for closure of puncture sites in 57 cases (64 common femoral arteries) (double Perclose group) and traditional suture in 46 cases (51 common femoral arteries) (traditional group). There was no significant difference in age, gender, or disease duration between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The operation time, blood loss, and hospitalization days of double Perclose group were significantly better than those of traditional group (P lt; 0.05). Ecchymoma in inguinal region and lymphatic leakage occurred in 5 cases (5 common femoral arteries) and 2 cases (2 common femoral arteries) of double Perclose group respectively, in 2 cases (2 common femoral arteries) and 6 cases (8 common femoral arteries) of traditional group respectively; no significant difference was found in the rate of the early complication between double Perclose group and traditional group (7.8% vs. 15.7%, χ2=1.76, P=0.19). The technique success rate of double Perclose group was 96.9% (62/64), and was 100% (51/51) in traditional group, showing no significant difference (χ2=0.31, P=0.50). All patients were followed up, 2-19 months (mean, 15 months) in double Perclose group and 2-18 months (mean, 14 months) in traditional group. Pseudoaneurysm occurred in the puncture region at 3 months in 1 case (1 common femoral artery) of double Perclose group, and incision and suture therapy was performed; no arteriostenosis or pseudoaneurysm occurred in other cases; and the rate of mid-term complication was 1.6% (1/64) in double Perclose group and was 0 in traditional group, showing no significant difference (P=1.000). Conclusion Double Perclose ProGlide crossing suture has the same effectiveness to traditional surture in repairing the puncture point with 20F or 22F, but it is superior to traditional suture in reducing operation time, blood loss, and hospitalization days.
Objective To examine the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, thus assessing the role of mechanism of contact inhibition playing in the process of experimental retinal detachment and reattachemnt.Methods Retinal detachment was produced in 72 cats by subretinal injection of 0.25% solution of healon through a micropipette three weeks after extracapsular lens extraction and vitrectomy. Some of the detached retinae were reattached 24 hours later. At different time, the cats were killed and eye globes were fixed and embeded in paraffin. Histologic sections were processed for immunohistochemistry examination using an antibody to detect PCNA protein. Labeled RPE cells were identified, and the proliferation was quantified in detached and un-detached retinae of detachment group, and also in reattached retinae of reattachment group. The comparsion of PCNA-labeled RPE cells in different groups were analyzed by ANOVA. Results In detached regions of detachment group, PCNA-expression of RPE cells occured within 24 hours, and reached a maximum after 5-6 days, then gradually declined to barely detectable levels after 20 days. Similar tendency was found in reattached retinae, but the number of PCNA-labeled RPE cells was obviously small. Fewer PCNA-labeled RPE cells were found in regions of un-detached retinae in detachment group. The difference of these three groups was significant.Conclusion Proliferation of RPE cells is induced when they lose contact with neural retina, but inhibited after neural retina reattached to RPE cells. It suggests that the mechanism of contact inhibition plays a role in the proliferative process after retinal detachment and reattachment. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：20-23)
Objective To explore the value of CT guided percutaneous puncture, aspiration and drainage on diagnosis and treatment of local complications of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Forty-three cases of SAP combined with pancreatic necrosis, peripancreatic hydrops, pseudocyst and abscess were analyzed, all of them underwent CT guided percutaneous puncture, aspiration and drainage. Results The punctures were performed on 43 SAP patients for sixty-four times, the success rate was 100%, and in 24 cases of them puncture were performed for diagnosis, the positive rate of fluid absorption by puncture was 100%. Forty-one of 43 cases (95%) received puncture and tube drainage, open operation was performed in one patient, one patient was automatically discharged. The remission rate of abdominal distension was 93% (40/43) and 16 of 43 cases (37%) were turned to open operation. The effective rate of drainage was 61% (25/41). Conclusion The puncture, aspiration and drainage guided by CT is an effective method in diagnosis and treatment of local complications in part of SAP cases.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effect of ultrasound guided puncture irrigation and traditional incision and drainage in the treatment of breast abscess. MethodsCNKI, Wanfang Database, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMbase were searched, at the same time complementary with other retrieval in any language to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparison ultrasound guided needle aspiration with incision and drainage to treat the breast abscesses published by late August, 2015. Data related to clinical outcomes were extracted by two reviewers independently. Statistical analyses were carried out using RevMan5.3 software. ResultsEight studies were included, which involving 373 participants according to the inclusion criteria. The differences were statistically significant about the cure rate [OR=2.51, 95% CI (1.47, 4.28), P=0.000 8〕, effective rate [OR=7.45, 95% CI (2.29, 24.27), P=0.000 9〕, the heeling time [SMD=-1.77, 95%CI (-2.09, -1.44), P < 0.000 01〕, the length of the scar [MD=-2.88, 95% CI (-3.43, -2.33), P < 0.000 01〕, and the complications [OR=0.18, 95% CI (0.05, 0.62), P=0.007〕. Conciusions Compared with traditional methods of incision and drainage, ultrasound guided needle aspiration and wash has the more cure rate, the more effective rate, the less heeling time and scars as well as complications.
