Abstract： Objective To analyze clinical outcomes of interventional therapy for common congenital heart diseases （CHD）. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 57 patients with CHD who underwent catheter interventional therapy in People’s Hospital of Deyang City between March 2009 and January 2012. There were 31 male patients and 26 female patients with their mean age of 29.4±3.5 years（ranging from 1.5 to 75.0 years）. There were 21 patients with patent ductus arteriosus （PDA）, 12 patients with ventricular septal defect （VSD）, and 20 patients with atrial septal defect（ASD）；and 2 patients with VSD plus ASD, 1 patient with VSD plus PDA, and 1 patient with ASD plus PDA. Occluder and supplying system made in China were used in the interventional therapy. For the patients with ASD plus PDA, PDA was blocked before ASD；for the patients with VSD plus PDA, PDA was blocked before VSD；and for the patients with VSD plus ASD, VSD was blocked before ASD. Results The duration of interventional therapy ranged from 30 to 90 minutes. The success rate of operation was 98.3%（56/57）. Operation was given up in an old female patient with ASD and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease because of pulmonary hypertension. The hospital stay was 3 -7 days. All the patients were followed up at the outpatient department for 1 month to 2 years by color Doppler echocardiogram, chest X-ray and electrocardiograph, and no complication occurred during follow-up. Conclusion With complete understanding of surgical indications and strict compliance with procedures, catheter interventional therapy is safe, minimal invasive, and effective in CHD treatment.
目的 通过对连枷胸两种不同治疗方法的比较，探讨该病的优化治疗方案。 方法 将2005年1月－2012年11月收治的80例枷胸患者按入选标准分为：保守组40例，通过胸部外固定和（或）呼吸机内固定等方法治疗；手术组40例，采用镍钛记忆合金环抱式接骨器手术内固定骨折的肋骨，比较两种治疗方法和疗效及并发症情况。 结果 保守组和手术组各死亡3例，原因为呼吸道感染致呼吸衰竭，两组无差异，但ICU停留和住院天数、机械通气时间、呼吸道感染等并发症手术组明显低于保守组（P＜0.01）。手术组无胸壁畸形，而保守组有18例，两组比较差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）。出院3个月后，手术组患者部分肺功能指标显著优于保守组（P＜0.01）。 结论 手术治疗连枷胸可迅速稳定胸壁，消除反常呼吸和激烈疼痛对呼吸的影响，还可减轻连枷胸对患者远期肺功能的影响，具有较高的临床应用价值。

ObjectiveTo compare the mid-term effectiveness of arthroscopy versus conservative treatment on symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (SDLM) in middle-aged and elderly patients. Methods The clinical data of 118 middle-aged and elderly patients (154 knees) with SDLM who received arthroscopy or conservative treatment between June 2014 and May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 76 patients (96 knees) in the arthroscopy group (group A) and 42 patients (58 knees) in the conservative treatment group (group B). There was no significant difference in age, gender, and body mass index between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with group B, the symptoms duration in group A was longer, the incidences of discoid lateral meniscus injury and mechanical symptoms were higher, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Lysholm score before treatment were worse, with significant differences (P<0.05). VAS score and Lysholm score before and after treatment were recorded and compared. ResultsThe patients in both groups were followed up 60-74 months, with an average of 66.3 months. The follow-up time of group A and group B was (65.9±3.5) months and (67.0±4.0) months respectively, with no significant difference (t=–1.615, P=0.109). At last follow-up, in either group A or group B, the VAS score and Lysholm score significantly improved when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The differences of VAS score and Lysholm score in group A before and after treatment were significantly better than those in group B (P<0.05). ConclusionArthroscopy and conservative treatment have a satisfactory mid-term effectiveness on SDLM in middle-aged and elderly patients. However, the improvement of symptoms and function of arthroscopy was significantly better than that of conservative treatment. For middle-aged and elderly SDLM patients with invalidated conventional treatment for 6 months, severe clinical symptoms, long duration of symptoms, and combined with mechanical symptoms, arthroscopy should be given priority even if they are complicated with early osteoarthritis.
Objective To study the effectiveness of TightRope elastic fixation combined with functional total repair of the inferior tibiofibular ligament in the treatment of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. Methods The clinical data of 34 patients with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury who met the selection criteria between January 2020 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into improved group (TightRope elastic fixation combined with functional total repair of inferior tibiofibular ligament) and control group (distal tibiofibular screw fixation) according to the surgical methods, with 17 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in age, gender, body mass index, fracture type, and other baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and complications were recorded in the two groups. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, ankle metatarsal flexion and dorsal extension range of motion were used to evaluate the ankle function. The patient satisfaction survey was conducted at last follow-up. Results All 34 patients were followed up 8-20 months, with a median of 13 months. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the improved group were significantly longer than that in the control group (P<0.05). In the improved group, no infection or poor reduction occurred, and only 1 patient had TightRope knot reaction at 6 months after operation. In the control group, there were 2 cases of poor reduction, 1 case of lower tibiofibular screw rupture, and 1 case of subcutaneous infection (cured after anti-infection treatment). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). At last follow-up, the AOFAS score and ankle metatarsal flexion and dorsal extension range of motion of the improved group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction rates of patients in the improved group and the control group were 94.1% and 82.4%, respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion TightRope elastic fixation combined with functional total repair of inferior tibiofibular ligament in the treatment of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury has sufficient fixation strength, and can achieve better effectiveness and joint function compared with traditional screw fixation.
ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of lung ultrasound-guided pulmonary rehabilitation training in ICU patients on mechanical ventilation.MethodsPatients on mechanical ventilation admitted to the ICU of a tertiary A-level hospital in Hefei city from July 2022 to December 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table method. The control group received conventional pulmonary rehabilitation training, while the experimental group underwent lung ultrasound-guided pulmonary rehabilitation training. The differences in lung ultrasound scores, oxygenation index, diaphragm function, weaning success rate, and mechanical ventilation time were compared between the two groups on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days of intervention.ResultsThe study was completed with 48 cases in the experimental group and 46 cases in the control group. Repeated measures ANOVA showed statistically significant intergroup effects, time effects, and interaction effects on lung ultrasound scores, oxygenation index, diaphragm mobility, and diaphragm thickness variability rate (P<0.05). The weaning success rate was higher in the experimental group than in the control group, and the mechanical ventilation time was shorter, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe lung ultrasound-guided pulmonary rehabilitation training program can effectively improve the pulmonary status, oxygenation, and diaphragm function of ICU patients on mechanical ventilation, increase the success rate of weaning, shorten the mechanical ventilation time, and accelerate patient recovery.
Objective To summarize the treatment and outcomes of patients with multiple injuries combined with thoracic trauma following the Wenchuan earthquake. Methods The wounded patients admitted from 12th to 31st May with multiple injuries combined with thoracic trauma after the earthquake were retrospectively analyzed. This includes baseline information, treatments, outcomes and deaths. Results Liver repair, spleen abscission, decompression and removed of intracranial hematoma ranked the first three of the main reasons for the emergency surgery death of multiple injuries. Heart-lung machine support, trachea cannula and closed drainage of thoracic cavity ranked the first three of the main reasons for the death of thoracic trauma. Moreover, ARDS, fracture of sternum and flail chest ranked the first three of the main reasons for the death of other multiple injuries. All the casualties had the worst situation with high ISS scores. The main death reasons were cerebral wound, peritoneum viscera injuries and the four limbs and pelvis injuries. Besides, the severe thoracic trauma accelerated their death. Conclusion Main death reasons for the inpatients with multiple injuries combined with thoracic trauma are hemorrhagic shock and severe cerebral wound. The thoracic trauma degree will increase the risk of their death. The more the injury positions, the higher ISS scores, and the more serious thoracic trauma, the higher mortality rate. Rapid examination and diagnosis, rapied triage and distribution of thoracic trauma can help to create more chances for the further treatment and increase the success rate of rescue.
For patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019, how to take lavage fluid specimens correctly is the current clinical focus during the epidemic. At the same time, since alveolar lavage is an invasive operation of the airway, it is necessary to follow standard procedures for protection and operation to prevent occupational exposure risks of medical staff. The Department of Intensive Care Unit of West China Hospital of Sichuan University formulated the operation procedure of alveolar lavage for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 based on the original operation procedure of alveolar lavage. This article introduces the indications and contraindications of the operation procedure, preparation before operation, operation procedure and precautions, post-operation processing and operation protection for clinical reference and implementation.
