Double-balloon enteroscopy for retrieving retained small-bowel video capsule endoscopes: a systematic review

Abstract

Background and aim: Capsule retention is the most common adverse event associated with video capsule endoscopy. The use of double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted capsule endoscope retrieval has been increasingly reported in recent years. However, evidence is limited regarding its success rate, associated factors, and subsequent clinical outcomes.

Methods: A systematic review of relevant studies published before January 2019 was performed. Successful retrieval rate and associated factors, rate of endoscopic balloon dilation, and outcomes after double-balloon enteroscopy were summarized and pooled.

Results: Within 154 associated original articles, 12 including 150 cases of capsule retrieval by double-balloon enteroscopy were included. The estimated pooled successful retrieval rate was 86.5% (95% confidence interval, 75.6–95.1%). Anterograde approach and capsules retained in the jejunum or trapped by malignant strictures were associated with a higher successful retrieval rate than the retrograde approach (62/83 [74.7%] vs. 10/38 [26.3%], p?<?.001) and capsules retained in the ileum (41/41 [100.0%] vs. 43/58 [74.1%], p?<?.001) or trapped by benign strictures (21/21 [100.0%] vs. 65/83 [78.3%], p?=?.043). Endoscopic balloon dilation was performed in 38.8% (95% confidence interval, 22.3–56.3%) of patients with benign strictures. Two perforations (1.3%) were reported as severe adverse events after double-balloon enteroscopy. A significantly lower surgery rate was found among cases with successful video capsule removal compared with unsuccessful cases (7.2% vs. 38.5%, p?=?.002).

Conclusions: Double-balloon enteroscopy is feasible and safe for removing retained video capsule endoscopes, and its use could decrease the need for surgery in patients with benign strictures and facilitate subsequent surgery in patients with malignant strictures.     

Comparison of parent and teacher reports of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms from two placebo-controlled studies of atomoxetine in children.

BACKGROUND: The validity of parent reports regarding children's attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms has been questioned. This study assessed whether parent reports were as sensitive as teacher reports to document change in ADHD symptoms during clinical trials with atomoxetine. METHODS: Data were compared from two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of atomoxetine using different versions (parent or teacher) of the same rating scale (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV [parent or teacher] Version: Investigator Administered and Scored - ADHD RS). Exclusion criteria included history of bipolar disorder, psychosis, seizures, alcohol abuse, or positive drug screen. Patients (6-16 years old) were treated with atomoxetine (titrated to a maximum dose of 1.8 mg/kg/day) administered once daily for up to 7 weeks. Parent and teacher ratings were compared using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model. RESULTS: The analysis (n = 318) showed that treatment effects (mean change, baseline to endpoint) were similar between parent and teacher ratings (total, p = .762; inattention, p = .519; hyperactive/impulsive, p = .955). Effect sizes also were similar based on total scores (parent ratings = .69; teacher ratings = .63). CONCLUSIONS: Parent reports are as sensitive as teacher reports in assessing the efficacy of long-acting pharmacologic treatment for ADHD in children during clinical trials using the nonstimulant atomoxetine.     

透析液钙离子浓度对肾功能衰竭血液透析患者血清钙离子水平及血压的影响

目的 观察不同钙离子浓度的透析液对血液透析患者透析后血清钙离子水平及血压变化的影响，为肾功能衰竭血液透析患者的高钙血症及高血压的防治提供依据。方法 选择不同钙离子浓度的透析液，将维持性血液透析患者分为高钙组（1．75mmol／L）和低钙组（1．25mmol／L），比较患者每次透析前后脉搏、血压，同时抽查患者透析前后血钙及血肌酐浓度的变化。结果透析后两组患者血肌酐浓度均显著下降，透析前后差异均具有统计学意义（P〈0．01）；高钙组患者透析后血钙较透析前升高，差异具有统计学意义（P〈0．01），而低钙组患者血钙比透析前略降低，差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。高钙组患者透析后较透析前收缩压、舒张压及平均动脉压都升高，差异均具有统计学意义（P〈0．05），而低钙组患者透析后较透析前收缩压、舒张压及平均动脉压都降低，差异均具有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。透析后两组血钙比较差异具有统计学意义（P〈0．01）；透析后低钙组较高钙组患者的收缩压、舒张压及平均动脉压都降低，三者差异均具有统计学意义（P〈0．01）。结论透析液钙离子浓度与血液透析患者血清钙离子水平及血压呈正相关，低钙透析液透析有助于维持性血液透析患者高血压的控制。     

下颌骨即刻植骨术后延期愈合的临床分析

目的探讨下颌骨缺损即刻植骨修复术后,伤口延期愈合的影响因素。方法将下颌骨即刻植骨分为Ⅰ期愈合组和延期愈合组,回顾性地查阅住院病历,按预先设计的表格填写有关项目。结果下颌骨即刻植骨的愈合与患者的年龄、受骨区是否有手术史、植骨的类型、植骨的大小无关;术中口内外相通是植骨延期愈合的主要因素。结论下颌骨良性病变即刻植骨修复时,应密切关注术区与口内外穿通情况,进行有针对性地处理,争取植骨Ⅰ期愈合。     

多层螺旋CT灌注成像在胶质瘤术后随访中的应用价值初探

目的探讨多层螺旋CT灌注成像在胶质瘤术后随访中的应用价值。方法对23例胶质瘤术后患者进行CT灌注成像,测量术后复发残余病灶、术后未复发病变区、残腔病灶及脑组织正常区域的CT灌注参数值[包括脑血流量(CBF)、脑血容量(CBV)、脑血管表面通透性(PS),以及其各相对参数值(rCBF、rCBV、rPS)],应用SPSS11.0统计软件包,独立样本t检验进行显著性分析。结果复发残余组10例,CBF值、CBV值及PS值均升高,rCBF值为1.99±0.72,rCBV值为2.57±0.79,rPS值为10.79±5.85。未复发组11例,CBF值及CBV值均降低,rCBF为0.36±0.99,rCBV为0.76±0.41。8例PS值接近正常值,3例术后早期CT灌注检查PS值较明显升高,8～10个月再次复查PS值接近正常。术后残腔2例,CBF值略降低,CBV值略升高,PS值较明显升高。胶质瘤术后复发残余组与术后未复发组比较,二者的CT灌注参数值差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01);与正常脑组织区域比较,二者的CT灌注参数值差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);与术后残腔组比较,CBF值差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),CBV值及PS值差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。未复发组与脑组织正常区域比较,CBF值差异有统计学意义(P<0.001),CBV值差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),PS值差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。未复发病例组与术后残腔组比较,CBF值差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),CBV值及PS值差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论CT灌注成像能准确地反映脑肿瘤术后的血流动力学改变,在确定肿瘤术后是复发残余还是未复发上有重要价值;PS值大小能较准确反映血脑屏障的破坏程度,但在鉴别肿瘤术后为复发残余还是残腔上无特异性。

菜心富硒规律及其对营养成分的影响

选用菜心作为富硒的研究对象，采用不同质量浓度的亚硒酸钠进行喷施处理，测定总硒和有机硒的含量以及不同的富硒浓度对菜心植株产量和各营养成分的影响。结果显示：喷施低浓度硒可以增进菜心品质而高浓度硒则抑制了菜心植株的正常生长和生理代谢。在富硒菜心中，75％以上的硒以有机硒的形式存在，体内的无机硒主要以6价硒存在，6价硒占总无机硒的94％以上；硒可以明显的提高菜心叶绿素、蛋白质、维生素C和氨基酸的含量，但可溶糖的含量降低。
