Gray platelet syndrome: Management of perioperative bleeding in redo cardiac surgery

Gray platelet syndrome (GPS) is a rare (<1/1 000 000) and inherited platelet function disorder characterized by macrothrombocytopenia, α-granule deficiency, and hemorrhages. Bleeding intensity does not correlate with platelet count nor with functional test results. We hereby describe the perioperative bleeding prevention and management of a patient with GPS requiring multiple redo cardiac surgeries.     

中西医结合精准护理在日间腹腔镜胆囊切除术围手术期的应用

目的:探讨中西医结合精准护理在日间腹腔镜胆囊切除术(laparoscopic cholecystectomy,LC)中的应用价值。方法:对2018年5月—2018年11月115例行日间LC术患者实施精准护理(观察组),并与同期住院行常规LC术患者92例(对照组)进行对比,观察组在常规护理的基础上,实施耳穴压豆联合穴位贴敷及精准护理方法,分析对比两组患者住院时间、护理满意度评分、术后疼痛评分、术后不良反应发生率等。结果:观察组住院时间、术后疼痛评分及术后不良反应发生率均明显低于对照组(P0.05),护理满意度评分明显高于对照组(P0.05)。结论:中西医结合精准护理可明显提高行日间LC术患者的护理质量,促进患者快速康复。     

Gastric volvulus and giant Bochdalek hernia in an adult patient that were safely repaired by endoscopic reduction and elective laparoscopic surgery

A Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a congenital abnormality with incomplete closure of the diaphragm. It is usually manifested in infants but rarely in adults. Here, we report an adult patient with gastric volvulus and giant BH that were safely repaired by endoscopic reduction and elective laparoscopic surgery, respectively. A 79-year-old woman presented with left upper abdominal pain but no history of trauma. CT revealed a giant BH with gastric volvulus. After emergency endoscopic reduction of the volvulus, elective laparoscopic repair of the BH was performed. The 8 × 8-cm defect was repaired with interrupted nonabsorbable sutures and a mesh. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and no complications or recurrence were observed in the 6 months that followed.     

Advance in Functional Restoration of Injured Nerve with Low Level Laser and its Utilization in the Dental and Maxillofacial Region

The inferior alveolar nerve and facial nerve are the two most important nerves in the dental and maxillofacial region. The injury to them is one of the major postoperative complications after alveolar surgery and orthognathic surgery. However, recovering the nerve function after injury takes a long time and the recovery effect tends to be unsatisfactory. In recent years, an intensively investigated technique, low level laser which has been applying in assisting the recovery of nerve function, has been gradually proved to be effective in clinically treating postoperative nerve injury. In this article we review in terms of the mechanisms involved in low level laser-assisted functional restoration of nerve injury and its clinical application in the recovery of nerve function in the dental and maxillofacial area as well.

从TaTME发展看直肠癌微创外科治疗进步

随着科学技术的进步和对疾病本身认识的深入，直肠癌的外科治疗从局部切除到全直肠系膜切除（TME），从开放手术到腹腔镜手术，再从腹腔镜手术到机器人手术，目前已经进入微创时代。在此时代背景下，经肛门全直肠系膜切除（TaTME） 应运而生。正如TME的提出者Heald所言：“TaTME是近30年直肠癌外科治疗技术的集大成者”，其发展的每一个阶段都有很强的代表性，已成为直肠癌微创外科治疗技术进步发展的一个缩影。
