ObjectiveTo compare the influence of intrathoracic and retrosternal esophagogastric anastomosis on pulmonary function in aged patients after esophagectomy. MethodsForty patients (older than 62 years) with upper or middle thoracic esophageal carcinoma (EC) who underwent esophagectomy in Fengtian Hospital of Shenyang Medical College between February 2009 and May 2011 were enrolled in this study. According to different surgical approach, all the patients were divided into an intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis (IEGA) group and a retrosternal esophagogastric anastomosis (REGA) group. There were 20 patients in IEGA group including 16 males and 4 females with their age of 62-79 (64.70±11.47) years, who received cervical anastomosis after EC resection and intrathoracic gastric tube reconstruction. There were 20 patients in REGA group including 17 males and 3 females with their age of 63-77 (65.90±12.72) years, who received cervical anastomosis after EC resection and retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction. Pulmonary function test (PFT) was performed preoperatively and on the 15th and 30th postoperative day, and compared between the 2 groups. ResultsThere was no statistical difference in preoperative PFT between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). PFT of IEGA group on the 15th and 30th postoperative day was significantly worse than preoperative PFT (P < 0.05). PFT of REGA group on the 15th and 30th postoperative day was not statistically different from preoperative PFT (P > 0.05). PFT of REGA group on the 15th and 30th postoperative day was significantly better than PFT of IEGA group (P < 0.05). In IEGA group, postoperative complications included anastomotic leak in 1 patient, anastomotic stenosis in 1 patient, pneumonia in 5 patients and atelectasis in 1 patient. In REGA group, postoperative complications included anastomotic leak in 1 patient, anastomotic stenosis in 1 patient, gastric outlet obstruction in 1 patient and pneumonia in 3 patients. All the patients were followed up for 1 year. There was no statistical difference between PFT at 1 year after discharge and PFT on the 30th postoperative day in either group. ConclusionsIEGA can significantly reduce postoperative PFT. REGA has less negative influence on postoperative PFT, is suitable for aged patients and patients with unsatisfactory preoperative PFT, can reduce postoperative complications and improve postoperative quality of life.
ObjectivesTo examine the cognitive performance among the elderly and associated influencing factors.MethodsUsing data from the six issues of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) conducted from 1998 to 2011, selecting adults aged 80 years or above, multilevel hierarchical model was utilized to estimate the trend of the elderly's cognitive performance and its influencing factors.ResultsA total of 128 cases were studied. The descent in MMSE was not significant with the growth of age (P=0.834). Female's MMSE scores were lower than male's (P=0.011) and descended quicker (P=0.015). Furthermore, ADL status and level of leisure activity were significantly related to the cognitive performance of both male and female (P<0.05).ConclusionsParticipation in leisure activities were the crucial protective factor for cognitive performance. It's recommended that measures be taken respectively for elderly males and females, and policies be stressed to enhance their cognitive performance, thus to guarantee their healthy aging.
Objective To explore the efficacy of endovascular therapy in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods The acute ischemic stroke patients who received endovascular therapy between January 2020 and January 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. According to age, patients were divided into the elderly group (≥ 80 years old) and other age groups (<80 years old). The baseline data, green channel data, nerve function deficit, recanalization and complication information were collected, and the patients were followed up. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate patients prognosis at 3 months after onset. Score less than or equal to 2 points was defined as good prognosis and over 2 points was defined as poor prognosis. Results A total of 138 patients were included, and 7 patients were lost to follow-up. Finally, 131 patients were included. Among them, there were 50 cases in the elderly group and 81 cases in the other age group. There were statistically significant differences in age, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and vascular recanalization between the elderly group and the other age group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the other baseline data, complications, 3-month prognosis, or mortality between the two groups (P>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score at admission [odds ratio (OR)=1.150, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.033, 1.281), P=0.011], pulmonary infection [OR=2.933, 95%CI (1.109, 7.758), P=0.030], and hypoproteinemia [OR=3.716, 95%CI (1.226, 11.264), P=0.020] affected the mRS score at 3 months after onset. Conclusions Among the patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular therapy, there is no difference in the occurrence of complications or short-term prognosis between elderly patients and other age patients. However, the attention should still be paid to reducing the occurrence of complications in patients, strengthening their nutritional support, and thereby improving their prognosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the surgical complications and its influence factors of radical surgery in the treatment of elderly patients with colorectal cancer. MethodsTwo hundreds and sixteen patients with colorectal cancer who were treated in the Second People's Hospital of Lianyungang City from January 2010 to September 2014 as the research object, the clinical data were collected by the self-made general data questionnaire, and they were analyzed by descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis using SPSS 19.0. ResultsFor elderly patients with colorectal cancer radical operation, pulmonary infection and wound infection were the common complications.Single factor and logistic regression analysis showed that medical comorbidity, hypoproteinemia, operation time, Dukes staging, and smoking were risk factors of postoperative complications in the colorectal cancer patients. ConclusionFor elderly patients with colorectal cancer underwent radical operation, pulmonary infection and wound infection are the common complications.It's occurrence by various factors.
Objective To discuss whether age has an influence on short-term effect of intersphincteric resection (ISR) for elderly (≥75 years old) patients with ultra-low rectal or canal cancer or not. Methods From February 2016 to February 2017, 196 patients with ultra-low rectal or canal cancer received ISR in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Center of West China Hospital were eligible to include in this study, then they were divided into ≥75 years old group and <75 years old group according to the patients’ age. The intraoperative index, postoperative index, and complications rate were compared between these two groups. Results There were 113 cases in the ≥75 years old group, 83 cases in the <75 years old group, the baselines such as the gender composition, body mass index, tumor histology type, differentiation degree, tumor size, and distance from the anal margin had no significant differences ( P>0.05), but the preoperative anaesthetized ASA grade, proportions of pulmonary insufficiency, hypoproteinemia, anemia, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac insufficiency of the ≥75 years old group were significantly higher than those of the <75 years old group (P<0.05). The operative time, intraoperative bleeding, and total complications rate had no differences between these two groups (P>0.05), the first exhaust time, the first eating time, the first defecation time, the first ambulation time, and hospitalization time of the ≥75 years old group were significantly longer than those of the <75 years old group (P=0.023, 0.037, 0.019, 0.020, and 0.012, respectively). There were no significant differences in the incidences of the anastomotic leakage, perianal infection, intestinal obstruction, and wound infection between these two groups (P>0.05). All the 196 patients were followed-up with an average follow-up of 7 months, there were 4 cases of recurrent patients, of which 3 were in the ≥75 years old group and 1 in the <75 years old group; there were 3 cases of death, of which 2 were in the ≥75 years old group and 1 in the <75 years old group. Conclusions Short-term recovery of elderly patients with ultra-low rectal or canal cancer is slower than younger patients because of poor preoperative conditions. ISR surgery is still safe and effective for elderly patients with ultra-low rectal or canal cancer and postoperative complications rate has no obvious increase, but it needs a surgeon’s skilled operation technology and multi-disciplinary team cooperation.
