  • Analysis on Seven Cases Subsequent Wernicke Encephalopathy During Perioperation in Elderly Patients with Gastric Caner

    Objective To discuss the pathogenesis,clinical manifestations,diagnoses and preventive methods on subsequent Wernicke encephalopathy cases of old gastric cancer patients during perioperation.Methods Collected the data of 237 old gastric cancer patients in perioperation from October 1990 to December 2009 hospitalized in the Department of General Surgery,Lanzhou General Hospital Attached to Military Region,PLA.And then retrospectively analysed 7 patents of them who complicated with Wernicke encephalopathy to summarize the clinical manifestation, accessory examination,diagnosis,prevention, and therapy of the Wernicke encephalopathy,and associated factors with its incidence.Results The clinical manifestations of 7 patients included nystagmus (7 cases),ataxia(4 cases),brain disorder(6 cases).Auxiliary examination:4 cases with anemia,7 cases with unusual blood biochemical examination, 5 cases with urinary ketone bodies positive,2 cases with decreasing blood vitamin B1,1 case with unusual skull MRI examination.Five patients were diagnosed before treatment and 2 case were diagnosed by experimental treatment.Finally,4 patents were cured,1 case obviously improved,1 case improved, and 1 case died.And The patients complicated with preoperative hypoproteinemia or pyloric obstruction and postoperative fistula of intestine or gastroplegia syndrome had statistical higher incidence rates of the Wernicke encephalopathy than those without these complications (P<0.05).Conclusions The clinical manifestation of the Wernicke encephalopathy have no specificity, it is hard to diagnose,so clinicians should pay attention to it,and combine different ways to diagnose.Improving or preventing complications during perioperative period,and supplementing enough vitamin B are important preventive and therapeutic measures.

  • Design and application of new type thoracic vest in totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery

    ObjectiveTo introduce a new type thoracic vest designed according to the incision characteristics of female patients undergoing totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery.MethodsSixty-one female patients undergoing totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery from February 2019 to May 2020 in our department were enrolled. All female patients had hypermastia and (or) mastoptosis which covered the incision. They were randomly divided into a research group (group A, n=32) and a control group (group B, n=29). The group A used the new type thoracic vest, while the group B used the traditional single shoulder belt. The degree of satisfaction, visual analogue scale (VAS) score 24 hours after the thoracic drainage tube removed, the average time-consuming of dressing change, dressing frequency and the incision infection rate were compared between two groups.ResultsThe degree of satisfaction in the group A was higher than that of the group B (P<0.001). The VAS scores of pain, average time-consuming of dressing change and dressing frequency in the group A were less or lower than those of the group B (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the incision infection rate between the two groups (P=0.214), but incision infection rate of the group A was lower than that of the group B.ConclusionThe new type thoracic vest seems to be more beneficial for patients than traditional single shoulder belt. It is easy to use, increases the psychological satisfaction of patients, reduces the pain and the incision infection and improves work efficiency, which is worthy of clinical application.

  • Short-term effect of minimally invasive thoracoscopic cardiac surgery in 453 patients: A retrospective study in a single center

    ObjectiveTo analyze the short-term outcomes of cardiac surgery via minimally invasive approach under thoracoscope in a single-center. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent cardiac surgery via minimally invasive approach under thoracoscope between July 2017 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 453 patients were enrolled, including 150 males and 303 females at an average age of 42.2±14.6 years. The main disease types included atrial septal defect in 314 patients, partial atrioventricular septal defect in 26 patients, and cardiac tumor in 105 patients. There was no death during the perioperative period. The mean operative time was 3.9±0.8 h, cardiopulmonary bypass time was 101.2±34.0 min, aortic occlusion time was 42.1±25.1 min, ventilator assistance time was 11.6±9.4 h, ICU stay time was 22.6±13.9 h and postoperative hospital stay was 6.0±1.7 d. Intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred in 18 (4.0%) patients, including 2 patients with conversion to sternotomy, 3 with incision expand, 3 with reoperation for bleeding, 1 with of redo operation, 4 with incision infection, 2 with respiratory insufficiency, 2 with cerebrovascular accident, and 1 with ventricular fibrillation. The follow-up time was 22.6±15.4 months, during which 1 patient died, 4 patients had moderate mitral regurgitation, 1 patient had mild-moderate mitral regurgitation, and 1 patient had mild-moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Conclusion Minimally invasive cardiac surgery under thoracoscope is safe with small invasions and few complications, and has satisfactory short-term outcomes.
