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.     

Analysis of Risk and Burden of Dysentery Associated with Floods from 2004 to 2010 in Nanning,China

This study aimed to examine the association between floods and the morbidity of dysentery and to quantify the burden of dysentery due to floods in Nanning, China. A generalized additive mixed model was conducted to assess the relationship between monthly morbidity of dysentery and floods from 2004 to 2010. The years lived with disability (YLDs) of dysentery attributable to floods were then estimated based on the WHO framework of the burden of disease study for calculating the potential impact fraction. The relative risk (RR) of floods on the morbidity of dysentery was 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–1.75). The models suggest that a potential 1-day rise in flood duration may lead to 8% (RR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.04–1.12) increase in the morbidity of dysentery. The average attributable YLD per 1,000 of dysentery caused by floods were 0.013 in males, 0.005 in females, and 0.009 in persons. Our study confirms that floods have significantly increased the risk and the burden of dysentery in the study area. Public health action should be taken to prevent and control the potential risk of dysentery after floods. Vulnerable groups such as males and children should be paid more attention.     

ELAM-1在鼻咽癌裸鼠移植瘤中的表达及其与转移的关系

目的 建立裸鼠鼻咽癌转移模型并探讨 E-选择素（ELAM-1）与鼻咽癌转移的相关性。方法 将鼻咽癌5-8F细胞悬液注射于裸鼠左后肢爪垫，观察裸鼠状态、成瘤情况并测量裸鼠体重及移植瘤长短径；采用连续病理切片苏木精-伊红染色观察移植瘤及转移情况，将16只人鼻咽癌荷瘤裸鼠分为转移组和非转移组；采用免疫组织化学法检测两组移植瘤组织中ELAM-1的表达。 结果 16只裸鼠均成瘤，成瘤率为100.0%，其中10只裸鼠出现转移瘤，转移率为62.5%。建模前，两组裸鼠体重差异无统计学意义［（13.83±0.56）g vs （14.62±0.30） g，t=1.026，P=0.071］。建模后4~7周，裸鼠瘤体体积呈指数增长，且转移组移植瘤增长速度较非转移组快，非转移组裸鼠瘤体体积小于转移组［（198.91 ± 163.29） mm³ vs （268.76 ±174.31） mm³，t=4.376，P=0.005］。ELAM-1在鼻咽癌裸鼠移植瘤、淋巴结转移灶及远处转移灶中的表达均为阳性，主要表达于细胞膜。转移组移植瘤光密度值高于非转移组（0.4497±0.0705 vs 0.0435±0.0082，t=4.388，P＝0.001）。结论 本研究成功构建稳定性好、转移率高的鼻咽癌裸鼠移植瘤转移模型，且ELAM-1在裸鼠移植瘤中高表达，可促进鼻咽癌裸鼠移植瘤生长和转移。     

一氧化氮合酶在外阴慢性单纯性苔藓和外阴硬化性苔藓中的表达

目的：检测诱导型和内皮型一氧化氮合酶（iNOS 和eNOS）在外阴慢性单纯性苔藓和外阴硬化性苔藓中的表达。方法：采用免疫组织化学SABC法检测iNOS和eNOS在30例外阴慢性单纯性苔藓蜡块（LSC）、30例外阴硬化性苔藓蜡块（LS）和10例外阴正常皮肤中的表达，并以人原始造血细胞抗原（CD34）标记微血管内皮细胞，测量各组织的微血管密度（MVD）。结果：iNOS和eNOS在外阴正常皮肤中无表达；在LSC中iNOS和eNOS每视野平均阳性细胞数分别为14.83±3.79和17.86±4.82，高于LS的8.00±3.35和6.43±3.87，差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；在LSC和正常皮肤中MVD分别为21.58±2.48和20.44±3.66，高于LS（10.34±2.83）。iNOS和eNOS的表达具有明显的正相关性（Kappa=0.811，P＜0.05）。结论：iNOS和eNOS可能与LSC炎症过程中的血管扩张有关；在LS皮损真皮中微血管减少，iNOS和eNOS可代偿性地改善LS的血液循环。     

胞宫胞脉胞络理论与子宫内膜容受性关系探析

胞宫胞脉胞络理论是中医基于脏腑理论对女子生殖功能的基本认识.子宫体、宫颈、卵巢、输卵管、盆壁及其相关的血管、神经、韧带及受体当属胞宫、胞脉、胞络功能范畴.胞脉和胞络属于胞官的一部分.胞脉、胞络将脏腑化生之气血全面布散于胞官,心、肾通过胞脉、胞络与胞官相联系."精满" "血足"是良好子宫内膜环境的体现.肾气亏损,胞脉失疏,冲任不充,胞官瘀滞,藏泻失序,表现为子宫内膜较薄及血供不足,不利于孕卵的着床.治疗子宫内膜容受性低下应予补肾气,通胞脉,自拟二补助育汤,可以改善子宫内膜血液循环,增加子宫内膜厚度,提高辅助妊娠成功率.

大鼠脑血肿周围组织半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达变化与尼莫地平的影响

目的：观察脑出血后血肿周围半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3的表达。及尼莫地平对其的影响。方法：实验于2004—07在大连医科大学中心实验室进行。取120只SD雄性大鼠随机分为3组：①尼莫地平组（n=50）：尾壳核注射自体股动脉血50μL复制脑出血模型，造模即刻腹腔注射尼莫地平1．6mg／kg（即8μL／g），以后每天1次。②模型组（n=50）：同前造模，术后腹腔注射等量生理盐水。③假手术组（n=20）：手术，但进针人尾壳核后不注血。各组分为术后6，24，48，72h、5d 5个时间点。造模动物醒后进行Bederson评分，评估其行为和神经功能缺陷（0—3分。评分越高，神经功能缺陷越重，评分≥2分为造模成功）。人组动物在以上5个时间点进行Bederson评分后，麻醉状态下处死取脑，经尾壳核行冠状切片，行免疫组化测定半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达。结果：80只大鼠进入结果分析。①Bederson评分：模型组、尼莫地平组大鼠醒后迅速出现偏瘫，24h后评分趋于稳定，至72h之间评分最高，然后逐渐下降，5d时仍有体征。模型组、尼莫地平组各时间点评分均高于对照组（P〈0．01），尼莫地平组术后48，72h评分低于模型组（P〈0.05）。②血肿周围组织半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达：假手术组进针侧脑组织表达很少，模型组6h后即有表达，24h达高峰，持续72h后逐渐下降，5d后仅有少量表达；尼莫地平组动态变化趋势与模型组相同，但各时间点的数值均较低，尤其是术后24～72h（P〈0．01）。结论：①脑出血后血肿周围组织中半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达升高，提示其与脑出血血肿周围组织损伤有一定关系。②尼莫地平降低脑出血后血肿周围组织中半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶3表达，从而减轻细胞凋亡程度，对神经细胞起到保护作用，降低神经功能缺陷。     

乳腺癌X线表现分析

目的分析乳腺癌典型及不典型X线征象,提高对乳腺癌不典型X线表现的认识。方法对61例经手术病理证实的乳腺癌资料进行回顾性分析。结果61例乳腺癌主要X线征象:肿块39例;微小钙化30例;不伴肿块及微小钙化的乳腺局部结构紊乱4例、星芒征3例、非对称性密度增高3例。结论肿块及微小钙化是乳腺癌最主要、最直接的X线征象,但部分乳腺癌X线上缺乏上述2种表现,单纯以结构紊乱、非对称性密度增高或星芒征为主要表现。提高对此类乳腺癌不典型X线表现的认识,有利于防止误、漏诊。
