ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of recurrence of incisional hernia following incisional hernia tension-free repair. MethodsThe clinical data of 162 patients with incisional hernia underwent tension-free repair were retrospectively analyzed in this hospital from January 2005 to January 2011. The relationships of incisional hernia recur-rence to gender, age, body mass index, hernia size, abdominal wall defect site, preoperative chronic comorbidities, type of tension-free repair, operation time, and wound healing disorders were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. ResultsOne hundred and sixty-two patients were followed up 7-70 months with mean 34.5 months. The rate of recur-rence following incisional hernia tension-free repair was 9.26% (15/162). The results of univariate analysis showed that recurrence following incisional hernia tension-free repair was associated with the age (P < 0.05), body mass index (P < 0.05), type of tension-free repair (P < 0.05), hernia size (P < 0.05), and wound healing disorders (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression revealed that the body mass index, type of tension-free repair, hernia size, and wound healing disorders were the independent risk factors associated with recurrence following incisional hernia tension-free repair. Fifteen recurrent patients were reperformed successfully. There was no recurrence following up with an average 23 months. ConclusionsIt is necessary to become familiar with the risk factors for recurrence of incisional hernia in order to eliminate or decrease their effects on the positive outcome of incisional herniorrhaphy. The patients with fat, hernia ring bigger, incorrect opera-tion or wound healing disorders might be easy to relapse. Surgical approach should be individualized for recurrence.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness and safety of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy (IHPC) for ovarian cancer, so as to provide references for clinical practice and studies. MethodsWe electronically searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 6, 2013), Web of Science, WanFang Data, CBM, VIP and CNKI for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about IHPC vs. intravenous chemotherapy (IC) for ovarian cancer from the inception of the databases to June 2013. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 723 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the IHPC group was superior to the IC group in clinical efficiency (OR=4.02, 95%CI 2.85 to 5.68, P < 0.000 01), clinical benefit response (OR=3.41, 95%CI 2.13 to 5.45, P < 0.000 01), recurrence and metastasis rates (OR=0.29, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.42, P < 0.000 1), and overall survival rates (OR=3.30, 95%CI 1.82 to 5.99, P < 0.000 1). In the aspect of safety, no significant difference was found in bone marrow suppression, hemoglobin reduction, nausea and vomiting between two groups. ConclusionIHPC for ovarian cancer can improve clinical efficiency, clinical benefit response and overall survival rates, and reduce recurrence and metastasis rates; and it is also safe for patients.
Objective To investigate the way to culture human parathyroid cells and to investigate its secretory function. Methods After digested by collagenase, parathyroid cells were isolated to get the original generation cells, then the cells were cultured and passaged, and morphological changes of original generation cells and passage cells were observed on every day. The parathyroid hormone(PTH) level secreted by the original generation cells and passage cells were measured on the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th day(original generation cells only) respectively. Results The cellular morphology was complete after digestion. On the 2nd day, most of the parathyroid cells had adhered and spreaded, on the 3rd day, all cells had spread. There was no very obvious changes on these cells after cultured for 4-15 days. From 16 to 20 days, some parathyroid cells went senescence. On the 1st day, all of the passage cells, which were fusiform and little bigger than those of the original generation cells, had adhered and spreaded. From 2 to 15 days, there was no very obvious changes. The concentration of PTH in original generation cells begin to decreased significantly on the 10th day (P < 0.01). The concentration of PTH in passage cells were all lower than those of original generation cells at the same corresponding time, but there were no significant difference on the PTH level on 5th day and 1st day, 10th day and 5th day, 15th day and 10th day in passage cells (P > 0.05). Conclusion Parathyroid cells which were cultured within 10 days possess well morphologic structure and have the strongest secretory function. Although the passage cells still possess secretory function, it is greatly inferior to original generation cells. At last, we consider that original generation cells cultured within 10 days can be regarded as the source of allogeneic cell transplantation.
