外伤性晶状体脱位合并周边隐匿性视网膜病变的临床特征及预后分析

目的观察分析眼球钝挫伤合并外伤性晶状体脱位患者周边隐匿性视网膜病变的临床特点及预后。 方法本研究纳入2013年1月至2020年1月在柳州市人民医院眼科住院诊断为眼球钝挫伤合并外伤性晶状体脱位，并行23G微创玻璃体切割联合白内障摘除手术的72例（72眼）患者。根据裂隙灯和超声生物显微镜（UBM）检查，将患者分为晶状体不全脱位组和全脱位组，详细记录2组患者的术中周边视网膜病变情况，并分析其临床特征及疗效。 结果眼球钝挫伤合并外伤性晶状体脱位患者中有周边隐匿性视网膜病变的占72.22%，其中晶状体不全脱位组发生率高达80.95%，显著大于晶状体全脱位组的60.00%（P＜0.05）。2组患者的周边隐匿性视网膜病变均以隐匿性视网膜裂孔、变性和出血为最常见。所有患者术后视网膜情况稳定，视力预后较好。 结论眼球钝挫伤合并外伤性晶状体脱位患者常出现周边隐匿性视网膜病变，最常见的是视网膜裂孔、出血、变性。23G微创玻璃体切割联合白内障摘除手术是有效治疗手段，具有创伤小、并发症少的优势。     

Long-term prevention of bladder cancer progression by alpha1-oleate alone or in combination with chemotherapy

Bladder cancer is common and one of the most costly cancer forms, due to a lack of curative therapies. Recently, clinical safety and efficacy of the alpha1-oleate complex was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled study of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Our study investigated if long-term therapeutic efficacy is improved by repeated treatment cycles and by combining alpha1-oleate with low-dose chemotherapy. Rapidly growing bladder tumors were treated by intravesical instillation of alpha1-oleate, Epirubicin or Mitomycin C alone or in combination. One treatment cycle arrested tumor growth, with a protective effect lasting at least 4 weeks in mice receiving 8.5 mM of alpha1-oleate alone or 1.7 mM of alpha-oleate combined with Epirubicin or Mitomycin C. Repeated treatment cycles extended protection, defined by a lack of bladder pathology and a virtual absence of bladder cancer-specific gene expression. Synergy with Epirubicin was detected at the lower alpha1-oleate concentration and in vitro, alpha1-oleate was shown to enhance the uptake and nuclear translocation of Epirubicin, by tumor cells. Effects at the chromatin level affecting cell proliferation were further suggested by reduced BrdU incorporation. In addition, alpha1-oleate triggered DNA fragmentation, defined by the TUNEL assay. The results suggest that bladder cancer development may be prevented long-term in the murine model, by alpha1-oleate alone or in combination with low-dose Epirubicin. In addition, the combination of alpha1-oleate and Epirubicin reduced the size of established tumors. Exploring these potent preventive and therapeutic effects will be of immediate interest in patients with bladder cancer.     

沙盘游戏疗法在肿瘤放疗患者中的应用

目的探讨沙盘游戏疗法对肿瘤放疗患者心理痛苦及生活质量的作用。方法采用便利抽样法,选取2019年1—12月于上海市质子重离子医院住院进行放疗的49例肿瘤患者为研究对象,采用分层随机分组方法,将患者随机分为对照组28例和试验组21例。对照组给予常规心理护理,试验组在此基础上给予沙盘游戏疗法。采用心理痛苦温度计和欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织生命质量核心量表中的5个功能维度比较两组患者干预前后的心理痛苦程度和生活质量水平。结果干预后,两组患者心理痛苦温度计得分均低于干预前,且试验组得分低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。干预前后试验组患者的躯体功能、角色功能、认知功能、情绪功能、社会功能维度得分下降程度均小于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论沙盘游戏疗法对肿瘤放疗患者的心理痛苦和生活质量有一定改善作用。

急诊绿色通道在创伤性膈疝中的应用体会

目的阐述急诊绿色通道在创伤性膈疝中的应用体会。 方法回顾性分析2017年5月至2018年5月，江苏省人民医院收治的25例创伤性膈疝患者的临床资料，均采用急诊创伤绿色通道进行抢救。记录患者手术情况、治疗结果及术后并发症情况。 结果25例患者到达医院立即启动创伤通，所有创伤通道人员到位时间（5±5.5）min，到达医院至手术时间（60.7±6.2）min。23例入院后行急诊手术，另外2例均于入院后第2天手术。并发症发生率为8.70%，死亡率为8.00%，治疗成功率为92.0%。 结论急诊创伤绿色通道的设立可大大缩短受伤至手术时间，以最迅速的方式使创伤性膈疝患者得到及时救治，提倡更多的医院建立"急诊创伤绿色通道"，使更多的患者在最短的时间内接受有效的治疗。     

Use of Three-Dimensional Printing Techniques in the Management of a Patient Suffering From Traumatic Loss of the Talus

Traumatic loss of the whole talus is extremely rare, and its possible treatment options are limited. Our experience of treatment of a 30-year-old male suffering from traumatic loss of the whole talus with the insertion of an anatomical antibiotic-loaded talus cement spacer using 3-dimensional printing techniques as an interim measure was reviewed and reported. A young motorcyclist was brought to the emergency department after a road traffic accident. He sustained multiple injuries including traumatic loss of his left talus. Despite repeated surgeries of debridement and insertion of external fixator to his injured ankle, the patient had residual problem of ankle instability, ankle infection, and absence of his involved talus. With the help of computerized 3-dimensional printing techniques, an anatomical talus cement spacer was produced in the operating room and inserted into the patient's ankle 7 weeks after the initial trauma. The external fixator was kept for another 3 weeks before removal. At 14 months after the insertion of cement spacer, the patient could walk independently without any pain for 15 minutes with the help of a crutch occasionally. However, the range of motion of his left ankle was limited to 15° in the flexion-extension arc and minimal subtalar motion. The infection of the left ankle was under control.     

The association between body mass index and in-hospital outcome among patients with acute myocardial infarction—Insights from China Acute Myocardial Infarction (CAMI) registry

BackgroundThe relationship between body mass index (BMI) and in-hospital mortality risk among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains controversial.Methods and ResultsWe included 35,964 patients diagnosed with AMI in China Acute Myocardial Infarction registry between January 2013 and December 2016. Patients were categorized into 4 groups according to BMI level: BMI <18.5, 18.5–24.9, 25–30, and ≥30 kg/m² for underweight, normal, overweight, and obese groups, respectively. Clinical data were extracted for each patient, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between BMI level and in-hospital mortality. Compared with normal-weight patients, obese patients were younger, more often current smokers, and more likely to have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Multivariable regression analysis results demonstrated that compared with normal group, underweight group had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06–1.69; p = 0.016), while overweight group (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.77–0.97; p = 0.011) and obese group (OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.46–0.91; p = 0.013) had lower mortality. All subgroups showed a trend toward lower in-hospital mortality risk as BMI increased.ConclusionsOur study provided robust evidence supporting “obesity paradox” in a contemporary large-scale cohort of patients with AMI and demonstrated that increased BMI was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality.
