ObjectiveTo compare the clinical effects of urokinase thrombolytic therapy for optic artery occlusion (OAO) and retinal artery occlusion (RAO) caused by facial microinjection with hyaluronic acid and spontaneous RAO.MethodsFrom January 2014 to February 2018, 22 eyes of 22 patients with OAO and RAO caused by facial microinjection of hyaluronic acid who received treatment in Xi'an Fourth Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study (hyaluronic acid group). Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients with spontaneous RAO were selected as the control group. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. FFA was used to measure arm-retinal circulation time (A-Rct) and filling time of retinal artery and its branches (FT). Meanwhile, MRI examination was performed. There were significant differences in age and FT between the two groups (t=14.840, 3.263; P=0.000, 0.003). The differecens of logMAR visual acuity, onset time and A-Rct were not statistically significant between the two groups (t=0.461, 0.107, 1.101; P=0.647, 0.915, 0.277). All patients underwent urokinase thrombolysis after exclusion of thrombolytic therapy. Among the patients in the hyaluronic acid group and control group, there were 6 patients of retrograde ophthalmic thrombolysis via the superior pulchlear artery, 6 patients of retrograde ophthalmic thrombolysis via the internal carotid artery, and 10 patients of intravenous thrombolysis. FFA was reviewed 24 h after treatment, and A-Rct and FT were recorded. Visual acuity was reviewed 30 days after treatment. The occurrence of adverse reactions during and after treatment were observed. The changes of logMAR visual acuity, A-Rct and FT before and after treatment were compared between the two groups using t-test.ResultsAt 24 h after treatment, the A-Rct and FT of the hyaluronic acid group were 21.05±3.42 s and 5.05±2.52 s, which were significantly shorter than before treatment (t=4.569, 2.730; P=0.000, 0.000); the A-Rct and FT in the control group were 19.55±4.14 s and 2.55±0.91 s, which were significantly shorter than before treatment (t=4.114, 7.601; P=0.000, 0.000). There was no significant difference in A-Rct between the two groups at 24 h after treatment (t=1.311, P=0.197). The FT difference was statistically significant between the two groups at 24 h after treatment (t=4.382, P=0.000). There was no significant difference in the shortening time of A-Rct and FT between the two groups (t=0.330, 0.510; P=0.743, 0.613). At 30 days after treatment, the logMAR visual acuity in the hyaluronic acid group and the control group were 0.62±0.32 and 0.43±0.17, which were significantly higher than those before treatment (t=2.289, 5.169; P=0.029, 0.000). The difference of logMAR visual acuity between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant (t=2.872, P=0.008). The difference in logMAR visual acuity before and after treatment between the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.239, P=0.025). No ocular or systemic adverse reactions occurred during or after treatment in all patients. ConclusionsUrokinase thrombolytic therapy for OAO and RAO caused by facial microinjection with hyaluronic acid and spontaneous RAO is safe and effective, with shortening A-Rct, FT and improving visual acuity. However, the improvement of visual acuity after treatment of OAO and RAO caused by facial microinjection with hyaluronic acid is worse than that of spontaneous RAO.
Objective To evaluate CT and ultrasonic imaging as a diagnostic means of acute intestinal obstruction. Methods Acute intestinal obstruction of 30 patients diagnosed by preoperative CT scanning and ultrasonic imaging was retrospectively viewed, compaired with intraoperative and pathologic findings.Results The overall accuracy of CT for detection of obstruction was 86.7% (26/30),CT and ultrasonic imaging was 93.3% (28/30). Conclusion CT with ultrasonic imaging is of great advantages for senile patients especially having malignant tumors and for patients with intestinal intussuception. CT with ultrasonic imaging is found to be reliable for diagnosing ileolithiasis and abdominal abscess and mesentery vein thrombosis, but is less sensitive in cases of bowel torsion.
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) can be easily missed or misdiagnosed as Budd-Chiari syndrome in clinical practice. The authors displayed the imaging pictures of one patient with HSOS and made a brief description of typical imaging features, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and differential diagnosis of HSOS, with the hope of improving the understanding of HSOS and reducing the rates of leak diagnosis or misdiagnosis.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) versus open pyeloplasty (OP) for patients with ureterpelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). MethodsWe electronically searched databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2015), Sciverse, VIP, WanFang Data and CNKI from inception to Dec., 2015, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized clinical controlled trials (CCTs) about LP versus OP for UPJO patients. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 38 studies including 8 RCTs and 30 CCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis based on RCTs showed that, there were no significant differences in successful operation rate (OR=0.50, 95%CI 0.20 to 1.24, P=0.13) and the incidence of postoperative complications (OR=1.19, 95%CI 0.61 to 2.31, P=0.62) between the OP group and the LP group; The operation time of the OP group was shorter than that of the LP group (MD=62.07, 95%CI 3.94 to 120.19, P=0.04), but this difference was not found in subgroup analysis of retroperitoneal approach (MD=49.99, 95%CI -23.69 to 123.67, P=0.18); The hospital stay of the LP group was shorter than that of the OP group (MD=-3.96, 95%CI -4.92 to -2.99, P<0.0001). The results of meta-analysis based on CCTs showed that, there was no significant difference in successful operation rate between two groups (OR=1.34, 95%CI 0.84 to 2.16, P=0.22), and similar results were found in subgroup analysis of transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approaches; The incidence of postoperative complications of the LP group was shorter than that of the OP group (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.69, P<0.0001); The hospital stay of the LP group was shorter than that of the OP group (MD=-3.87, 95%CI -4.90 to -2.83, P<0.00001) and similar result was found in subgroup analysis of transperitoneal approach (MD=-4.08, 95%CI -5.21 to -2.95, P<0.0001); There was no significant difference between two groups in operation time (MD=24.15, 95%CI -7.56 to 55.87, P=0.14). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that, the successful operation rate between LP and OP operations is similar, but the LP operation has less incidence of postoperative complication and shorter hospital stay. Due to limited quality of the included studies, the above conclusion needs more high quality studies to verify.

ObjectiveTo compare the outcomes of sutureless technique and conventional technique in the surgical repair for infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC).MethodsThe clinical data of 46 consecutive patients with infracardiac TAPVC undergoing surgical repair in our hospital between June 2014 and April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with combined congenital cardiac anomalies such as single ventricle and tetralogy of Fallot were excluded. Patients were divided into a conventional technique group and a sutureless technique group according to the surgical techniques. There were 35 patients in the conventional technique group, including 28 males (80.0%) and 7 females (20.0%) with a median age of 21 (8, 42) d and a median weight of 3.6 (3.0, 4.0) kg. There were 11 patients in the sutureless technique group, including 8 males (72.7%) and 3 females (27.3%) with a median age of 14 (6, 22) d and a median weight of 3.5 (2.9, 3.6) kg. The curative effect of the two groups was compared.ResultsThere were 5 deaths (10.9%) in the conventional technique group, including 4 in-hospital deaths (8.7%) and 1 late death (2.2%). Overall mortality of the conventional technique group (14.3%, 5/35) was higher than that of the sutureless technique group (0.0%, 0/11), although the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.317). Cox regression analysis showed that sex (P=0.042), age at repair (P=0.028), cardiopulmonary bypass time (P=0.007), aortic cross-clamping time (P=0.018) and duration of ventilation (P=0.042) were risk factors for postoperative mortality. The median follow-up was 18.00 (5.00, 37.75) months. Postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction occurred in 22 patients of the conventional technique group, which was significantly more than that of the sutureless technique group (P=0.000).ConclusionFor infracardiac TAPVC, sutureless technique can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction compared with conventional technique.

Objective To explore the bacterial translocation of mesenteric lymph nodes （MLNs） of the ileum and the spectrum of bacteria in patients with small bowel obstruction.Methods Total 84 patients were divided into study group （with small bowel obstruction） and control group （without small bowel obstruction）. MLNs were obtained under sterile conditions intraoperatively， and which were processed for culture of aerobic and anaerobic organisms. The rate of bacterial translocation and postoperative infection were compared between two groups and the species of bacterial translocation was identified. Results The bacterial translocation rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group 〔57.1% （24/42） versus 16.7% （7/42），χ2=14.775， P＜0.01〕. Escherichia coil was the most commonly bacteria （20）. Emergency surgery and age over 70 years were associated with bacterial translocation （P＜0.05）. Postoperative infection complications rate in the bacterial translocation patients was higher than that in the patients without bacterial translocation 〔29.0% （9/31） versus 3.8% （2/53），χ2=10.965，P＜0.05〕. Conclusions Bacterial translocation to MLNs occurres more frequently in patients with small bowel obstruction，non-elective surgery， and elderly.
Objective To explore the surgical management method and outcome of functional univentricular heart with total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage (UVH-TAPVD). Methods We reviewed the surgical procedures and results for 44 UVH-TAPVD patients in our hospital between the year 2010 and 2016. There were 34 males and 10 females. The age of the patients was 312 (77-4 220) d when they accepted the first surgical treatment. Results There were 8 deaths in stage Ⅰ palliation, 1 death in stage Ⅱ palliation and 5 deaths during the follow-up. The overall survival rate was 68.2% (30/44). Glenn operation was undertaken in 34 patients with 5 deaths. Fontan operation was undertaken in 9 patients with 2 deaths. Conclusion Surgical strategies for UVH-TAPVD should be planned according to different anatomical and pathophysiological conditions in different patients. Staged palliations can reduce mortality and morbidity. But pulmonary venous obstruction and heterotaxy syndrome are still risk factors for these patients.
ObjectiveTo study a new method for establishing the rat model of incomplete adhesive intestinal obstruction. MethodsThe serosal stripping method was adopted, the general health condition changes of rats were observed on day 3, 5, and 7 after modeling, meanwhile the weight was measured, the superior mesenteric artery flow velocity and small intestine wall thickness were observed via the color Doppler ultrasound and orthostatic X ray. The level of D-lactate acid in the blood plasma, and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the intestine tissue were tested. The pathological changes of the intestine tissue were observed. ResultsCompared with the normal group (no treatment was done), the general health conditions of rats were worse, the weight significantly decreased (Plt;0.01), the superior mesenteric artery blood flow velocity significantly increased and small intestinal wall was thickened (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01), airfluid level or a great deal of seroperitoneum and pneumatosis flat appeared via orthostatic abdominal X-ray, the level of D-lactic acid in the blood plasma and the content of MDA in the intestine tissue significantly increased on day 5 after modeling (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01), the activity of SOD in the intestine tissue significantly decreased on day 7 after modeling in the model group (Plt;0.05). The pathological changes consistented with adhesive intestinal obstruction via pathological observation. On the 7th day, the rat model of incomplete adhesive intestinal obstruction was successfully built . ConclusionThe rat model of incomplete adhesive intestinal obstruction is completed by serosal stripping method.
