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.     

从形气神谈溃疡性结肠炎的中西医认识

溃疡性结肠炎(Ulcerative colitis,UC)是一种病情反复、迁延难愈的炎症肠病,已被世界卫生组织列为现代难治病之一[1]。本病病因及发病机制尚不明确,西药治疗效果欠佳。近年来中医药的介入,临床取得显著疗效。西医学认为疾病是机体在一定致病因素的作用下自稳调节紊乱,经过机体内损伤和抗损伤反应的相互斗争,表现出的一系列功能。     

Transient left bundle branch block after posture change to the prone position during general anesthesia: A case report

Rationale:The prone position is commonly used in spinal surgery. There have been many studies on hemodynamic changes in the prone position during general anesthesia. We report a rare case of transient left bundle branch block (LBBB) in a prone position.Patient concern:Electrocardiogram (ECG) of a 64-year-old man scheduled for spinal surgery showed normal sinus rhythm change to LBBB after posture change to the prone position.Diagnosis:Twelve lead ECG revealed LBBB. His coronary angio-computed tomography results showed right coronary artery with 30% to 40% stenosis and left circumflex artery with 40% to 50% stenosis. The patient was diagnosed with stable angina and second-degree atrioventricular block of Mobitz type II.Intervention:Nitroglycerin was administered intravenously during surgery. Adequate oxygen was supplied to the patient. After surgery, the patient was prescribed clopidogrel, statins, angiotensin II receptor blocker, and a permanent pacemaker was inserted.Outcome:Surgery was completed without complications. After surgery, the transient LBBB changed to a normal sinus rhythm. The patient did not complain of chest pain or dyspnea.Lesson:The prone position causes significant hemodynamic changes. A high risk of cardiovascular disease may cause ischemic heart disease and ECG changes. Therefore, careful management is necessary.     

小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白氧化特性及对血管内皮细胞脂质过氧化的影响

了解小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白中抗氧化维生素含量、氧化特性 ,探讨其对血管内皮细胞脂质过氧化的影响。采用二次密度梯度超速离心的方法分离制备小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白 ,高压液相色谱测定其抗氧化物质维生素A、E和 β 胡萝卜素 ;连续监测小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白在 2 34nm的吸光度以测定其氧化敏感曲线 ;在血管内皮培养液中分别加入不同浓度的小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白 ,培养后测定培养液丙二醛的浓度。实验成功分离小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白 ,与大而轻低密度脂蛋白相比 ,维生素A、E和 β 胡萝卜素等抗氧化物质及总抗氧化能力明显减少 ,只有大而轻低密度脂蛋白的 6 5 %、39%和 2 4 % ,故小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白氧化的延迟时间只有大而轻低密度脂蛋白的 37.5 % ,但硫代巴比妥酸反应物质值及氧化速率分别是大而轻低密度脂蛋白的 1 .7倍和 1 .2 8倍 ;培养液中丙二醛含量随加入脂蛋白的浓度和作用时间而增高 ,2 4h时小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白 5 0mg组、1 0 0mg组、1 5 0mg组与相同剂量大而轻低密度脂蛋白组比较丙二醛显著增高 (P <0 .0 5 )。上述结果提示 :小颗粒致密低密度脂蛋白中抗氧化物质及抗氧化能力下降 ,氧化敏感性增高 ,并促进内皮细胞过氧化损伤

颈动脉狭窄的影像学评估

目前脑卒中所导致的社会负担已经超越了冠状动脉疾病，积极有效地预防脑卒中可降低这一社会负担。早在20世纪50年代，临床病理学家Miller Fisher的研究即发现颈动脉粥样硬化是脑卒中的重要原因，随后颈动脉内膜剥离术（CEA）逐渐成为重度颈动脉狭窄的一种治疗手段。
