In recent years, heart valve disease has been increasing year by year. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the first-line surgical method for patients with severe aortic stenosis due to the advantages of small surgical trauma and rapid postoperative recovery. In the context of the rapid development of TAVR, the postoperative complications of TAVR seriously affect the surgical success rate and patient prognosis. Therefore, the prevention and nursing of complications after TAVR are particularly important. This article will review the assessment, prevention and care of the complications such as arrhythmia, vascular complications, perivalvular leakage, stroke, and acute renal failure after TAVR in combination with the current situation at home and abroad, in order to enhance the clinical medical workers’ understanding of the complications.
ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of reducing the intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) by Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) combined with cytotoxic agent in xenotransplanted human breast infiltrating duct carcinoma in nude mice. MethodsSixteen female nude mice were randomly divided into 4 groups to receive cyclophosphamid (16 mg/kg,qd) combined with Rg3 (10 mg/kg, qd),Rg3(10 mg/kg,qd) alone,cyclophosphamid (16 mg/kg,qd) alone and 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (0.5 ml,qd) respectively for 55 days. Breast cancer mass were weighed and sampled for light microscopic observation. The intratumor MVD was examined by immunohistochemical staining. ResultsThe tumor weight of treated group was significantly lower than that of control group. The tumor weight of the Rg3 combined with CTX group was lower than that of Rg3 group. The MVD value of Rg3 group was significantly lower than that of CTX group and control group. The MVD was significantly reduced in the Rg3 combined with CTX group than that in the others.ConclusionRg3 combined with CTX can inhibit the growth of xenotransplanted human breast infiltrating duct carcinoma, and reduce the intratumoral MVD.
Objective To explore the effectiveness of arterial crisis after replantation of limb treated by ultrasound guided Fogarty balloon catheter. Methods Between January 2012 and July 2016, 27 patients suffered from arterial crisis after replantation of limb were treated with ultrasound guided Fogarty balloon catheter combined with thrombolytic anticoagulant. There were 18 males and 9 females with the age of 19-51 years (mean, 32 years). The limb mutilation position was at knee joint in 3 cases, lower limb in 9 cases, ankle joint in 6 cases, elbow joint in 2 cases, forearm in 4 cases, and wrist joint in 3 cases. The arterial crisis happened at 2.5-18 hours (mean, 7.5 hours) after limb replantation surgery. Color doppler ultrasonography was used to diagnose the arterial thrombosis, finally the anastomotic thrombosis were found in 16 cases, non-anastomotic thrombosis in 7 cases, and combined thrombosis in 4 cases. All the thrombosis were deteced in the arteries with the length of 0.8-3.9 cm. Results No complication such as vascular perforation, rupture, air embolism, thromboembolism, wound infection, or sepsis happened after operation. Arterial crisis occurred again in 3 cases at 1.5-13.5 hours after limb replantation and treated by arterial exploration, 1 case was treated successfully; 2 cases had arterial occlusion and partial necrosis of limb, and got amputation treatment at last. The rest 24 cases survived with the incision healing by first stage. In the 24 cases, 1 case suffered from acute myonephropathic metabolic syndrome and corrected after hemodialysis; 1 case suffered from acute liver functional damage and corrected by comprehensive treatment of internal medicine. The 24 patients were followed up 7-38 months (mean, 11 months). At last follow-up, blood supply of the limb was good with normal skin temperature and improved sense of feeling, activity, and swelling. According to Chinese Medical Association of hand surgery to the upper extremity function assessment standard, the results were excellent in 12 cases, good in 8 cases, and fair in 4 cases with an excellent and good rate of 83.3%. Conclusion Ultrasound guided Fogarty balloon catheter treatment of posterior replantation of arterial crisis can accurately locate the thrombosis, get the thrombus fast and invasive minimally to avoid the blind and repeated thrombectomy, and obtain certain effectiveness.
Objective To discuss the methods of diagnosis and treatment of cystic neoplasms of pancreas. Methods Demographic data, clinical manifestations, diagnostic exams, surgical procedures, pathological diagnosis, postoperative complications, and follow-up data of 29 patients with cystic neoplasms of pancreas were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 8 （28%） serous cystic tumors （SCN）, 12 （41%） mucinous cystic tumors （MCN）, 3 （10%） intraductal papillary mucinous tumors （IPMN）, and 6 （21%） solid pseudopapillary tumors （SPT）. Eight cases of SCN, 7 cases of MCN, 1 case of IPMN, and 5 cases of SPT were all benign. The ages of the patients were from 15 to 78 years〔average, （49±17）years〕and all tumors were more common in female （76%, 22/29）. Twenty-three cases of 29 patients were performed operations, 22 cases were underwent surgical resection, and 1 case was performed exploration and biopsy. There was no surgery-related death. The rest 6 cases were not performed operation. Twenty-one cases followed-up for 6 months to 8 years 〔average, （2.7±2.3） years〕, 8 cases didn’t followed-up. Sixteen cases with surgical resection had no recurrence during follow-up period, 1 case performed exploration and biopsy died in 1 year after operation, and 4 cases of SCN without surgery didn’t deteriorate. Conclusions The most common cystic neoplasms of pancreas are mucinous and serous cysts. These tumors are more frequent in female. Although almost all serous cysts are benign, 42% of mucinous cysts are malignant. Misdiagnosis may delay appropriate treatment and increase mortality. The resection rate of pancreatic cystic tumor is high, and the prognosis is good after radical resection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence and trendency of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in a pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital, identify the main objectives of infection control, and formulate corresponding preventive and control measures.MethodsA prospective targeted monitoring method was adopted to investigate HAIs in the pediatric ICU of a hospital from January 2013 to December 2018.ResultsFrom January 2013 to December 2018, the number of target ICU patients was 11 898, the number of patient-days was 55 159; 226 HAIs occurred, the HAI case rate was 1.90%, the incidence of HAI per 1 000 patient-days was 4.10‰, and the adjusted incidence of HAI per 1 000 patient-days was 1.21‰. The main infection site was respiratory tract [83 cases (36.7%)], with ventilator-associated pneumonia in 73 cases (32.3%); secondly, 69 patients (30.5%) had bloodstream infection, among which 48 (21.2%) had non-catheter-related bloodstream infection.ConclusionHospital targeted monitoring is helpful to grasp the situation and trend of HAIs, define the main target of infection control, and formulate corresponding preventive and control measures, which can effectively reduce the incidence of HAIs.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TFTAVR) under local anesthesia (LA) and general anesthesia (GA). MethodsElectronic databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang and CBM were searched to collect randomized controlled trial and cohort studies on clinical outcomes of TFTAVR under LA and GA from inception to September 2020. Two authors independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the quality of studies, and a meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 16.0 software. ResultsA total of 30 studies involving 52 087 patients were included in this study. There were 18 719 patients in the LA group and 33 368 patients in the GA group. The results of meta-analysis showed that the in-hospital all-cause mortality rate [RR=0.65, 95%CI (0.45, 0.94), P=0.021], 30-day all-cause mortality rate [RR=0.73, 95%CI (0.62, 0.86), P＜0.001], 30-day stroke [RR=0.82, 95%CI (0.68, 0.98), P=0.025], cardiac arrest [RR=0.50, 95%CI (0.34, 0.73), P＜0.001], ICU stay time [RR=−6.86, 95%CI (−12.31, −1.42), P=0.013], and total hospital stay time [RR=−2.02, 95%CI (−2.59, −1.45), P＜0.001] in the LA group were all better than those in the GA group. There was no significant difference in the in-hospital stroke [RR=0.83, 95%CI (0.69, 1.00), P=0.053], in-hospital myocardial infarction (MI) [RR=1.74, 95%CI (0.43, 7.00), P=0.434], or 30-day MI [RR=0.77, 95%CI (0.42, 1.42), P=0.404] between the two groups. ConclusionLA provides a safe and effective way to induce sedation without intubation, and may be a good alternative to GA for TFTAVR.
