To summarize the medium-term cl inical result of bio-derived bone transplantation in orthopedics with tissue engineering technique. Methods From December 2000 to June 2001, 10 cases of various types of bone defect were treated with tissue engineered bone, which was constructed in vitro by allogenous osteoblasts from periosteum (1 × 106/ mL) with bio-derived bone scaffold following 3 to 7 days co-culture. Six men and 4 women were involved in this study, aged from 14 to 70 years with a median of 42 years. Among them, there were 2 cases of bone cyst, 1 case of non-union of old fracture, 6 cases of fresh comminuted fracture with bone defect, and 1 case of chronic suppurative ostemyel itis. The total weight of tissue engineered bone was 3-15 g in all the cases, averaged 7.3 g in each case. Results The wound in all the case healed by first intention. For 7 year follow up, bone union was completed within 3.0 to 4.5 months in 9 cases, but loosening occurred and the graft was taken out 1 year after operation in 1 case. The X-ray films showed that 9 cases achieved union except one who received resection of the head of humerus. No obvious abnormities were observed, and the function of affected l imbs met daily l ife and work. Conclusion Bio-derived tissue engineered bone has good osteogenesis. No obvious rejection and other compl ications are observed in the cl inical appl ication.
Esophageal diseases include esophageal malignant diseases and benign diseases, with a high incidence in our country. Along with the development of the endoscopic technique, many of them which required medical treatment or surgery in the past can now be cured by endoscopic surgery. This article is an overview of long-term follow-up of endoscopic surgery for the common esophageal disease, such as early squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal stricture, achalasia and submucosal tumor of the esophagus.
ObjectiveTo enhance the management of occupational exposure, improve post-exposure reporting, promote post-exposure follow-up, reduce blood-borne infections caused by exposure, and ensure occupational safety among medical staff by using comprehensive measures based on nosocomial infection management system.MethodsAll the reported cases of occupational exposure were retrospectively collected from August 2012 to July 2018. The cases were divided into the control group (from August 2012 to July 2015) in which the data were reported in paper, and the observation group (from August 2015 to July 2018) in which the data were reported by nosocomial infection management system. The report and follow up results of occupational exposure in the two groups were compared and analyzed.ResultsAfter three years application of nosocomial infection management system, the occupational exposure report increased 95.8% (increased from 16.7 cases per year to 32.7 cases per year); the follow-up ratio of occupational exposure after one month,3 months and 6 months increased from 65.0% to 93.3% (χ2=15.184, P<0.001), 45.0% to 73.3% (χ2=9.033, P=0.003), and 25.0% to 53.3% (χ2=8.522, P=0.004), respectively.ConclusionApplication of nosocomial infection management system can increase the report of occupational exposure and the follow-up ratio of occupational exposure significantly.
To evaluate the long-term result of free forearm skin flap in the repair of soft tissue defects of the oral and maxillofacial regions, 26 cases which had received radical resection of maxillofacial tumors were follow-up for 4.5 years. Twenty cases, having complete data were analyzed. In this series, There were 8 males and 12 females, with ages ranged from 40 to 69 years old. The size of the flaps ranged from 4 cm x 5 cm-6 cm x 13 cm. The radial artery and the cephalic vein were used as the donor vessels, and the maxillary artery, superior thyroid artery, external jugular vein and the anterior jugular vein were prepared as the recipient vessels. According to the shape, colour, temperature, sensation, mucosoid degree of the flap, the blood supply and function of hand and the configuration of the forearm, the overall results of the recepient regions in 20 cases were all satisfactory and the overall results of 16 cases donor regions were satifactory in 16 cases. The results were poor in 4 cases. The conclusion were: 1. Free forearm skin flap was worth trying in the repair of soft tissue defects of oral region; 2. The radial artery need not to be reconstructed because of the abandant vascular net-work in the upper limb and 3. The residual scar on the forearm was the main shortcoming, but most of the patients could tolerate it because of the obvious advantages received from the operation.
Objective To investigate the influence of prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Clinical data of 5 216 patients from Jiangsu Province CABG registry who underwent primary isolated CABG from 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a PCI group (n=673) and a non-PCI group (n=4 543) according to whether they had received PCI treatment. The PCI group included 491 males and 182 females, aged 62.6±8.2 years, and the non-PCI group included 3 335 males and 1 208 females, aged 63.7±8.7 years. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to compare 30-day mortality, incidence of major complications and 1-year follow-up outcomes between the two groups. Results Both in original cohort and matched cohort, there was no statistical difference in the 30-day mortality [14 (2.1%) vs. 77 (1.7%), P=0.579; 14 (2.1%) vs. 11 (1.6%), P=0.686], or the incidence of major complications (myocardial infarction, stroke, mechanical ventilation≥24 h, dialysis for new-onset renal failure, deep sternal wound infection and atrial fibrillation) (all P>0.05). The rate of reoperation for bleeding in the PCI group was higher than that in the non-PCI group [19 (2.8%) vs. 67 (1.5%), P=0.016; 19 (2.8%) vs. 7 (1.0%), P=0.029]. Both in original cohort and matched cohort, there was no statistical difference in 1-year survival rate between the two groups [613 (93.1%) vs. 4225 (94.6%), P=0.119; 613 (93.1%) vs. 630 (95.2%), P=0.124], while the re-admission rate in the PCI group was significantly higher than that in the non-PCI group [32 (4.9%) vs. 113 (2.5%), P=0.001; 32 (4.9%) vs. 17 (2.6%), P=0.040]. Conclusion This study shows that a history of PCI treatment does not significantly increase the perioperative mortality and major complications of CABG, but increases the rate of cardiogenic re-admission 1 year postoperatively.
Resection is crucial for treating non-small cell lung cancer. Routine follow-up after surgery is an effective method for early detection and treatment of tumor recurrence and metastasis or the second primary tumor, which can improve the quality of life of patients and their prognosis. This consensus aims to provide a reference for colleagues responsible for postoperative follow-up of non-small cell lung cancer patients in China, and further improve the standardization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
