Decision analysis model of incisional hernia after open abdominal surgery

Background The incidence rate of incisional hernias after open surgery has been reported to be higher than that of port site hernias after laparoscopic surgery. No studies have compared the costs for the health care system in treating those two types of hernia. Methods A systematic review was conducted to obtain the baseline data, and a decision analysis model was created to simulate the occurrence and recurrence of incisional and port site hernias. Results The overall risk of having incisional hernias was eight-times higher than that of having port site hernias (7.4% vs 0.9%). A cost savings of ￡93 per patient can be generated for the health care system in the UK. Similar results were obtained for Germany, Italy and France. Conclusions The additional treatment costs for incisional hernia should be taken into account when the costs of a surgery performed by open approach are compared with by laparoscopy.

The effect of sucralfate,an agent for gastroprotection on the healing of split thickness skin graft donor sites

Skin is the most commonly used tissue for the transplantation. A meticulous care of the donor site is needed to prevent scarring, delayed healing, and pain. Various agents and dressing materials have been reported to help healing of skin graft donor sites. Sucralfate is an extensively used agent, which provides acute gastroprotection and acceleration of chronic ulcer healing. In this study, we assessed the effects of topical sucralfate on the healing of the split thickness skin graft donor sites in a prospective comparative way. The study was carried out on 32 randomly chosen patients undergoing surgery for various causes and requiring split thickness skin graft resurfacing. The upper halves of the skin graft donor sites on the thighs were simply covered with paraffin gauze and the lower half was covered with sucralfate-soaked paraffin gauzes. The day of full epithelization varied from 6 to 9 days and 8–12 days on the sucralfate-applied areas and on the control sites, respectively. The mean value of the healing was 7.01 days in the studied lower halves and 10.8 days in the upper halves. The healing rate was strikingly faster and less painful on the sucralfate-applied areas. We were able to discharge patients earlier than usual, and patients’ comfort increased. It seems that sucralfate is a promising topical agent to increase the healing rate and decrease the incidence of associated problems such as pain and hypertrophic scar.     

口腔鳞状细胞癌颈淋巴转移范围和临床病理因素间的相关性研究

目的探讨口腔鳞状细胞癌颈淋巴转移范围和临床病理因素间的关系。方法对26例已存在颈淋巴转移的原发口腔癌患者，进行颈淋巴转移范围和患者的临床病理资料的统计分析，寻找影响转移范围的主要因素。结果单因素分析发现，肿瘤生长方式和分化程度与转移范围相关。多因素分析显示，肿瘤生长方式(浸润型)和肿瘤转移范围相关。结论对颈淋巴已有转移的口腔癌患者，若原发灶为浸润性生长，肿瘤倾向于更大范围的转移。对已有颈淋巴转移的口腔癌患者，颈淋巴清扫术范围的制定，主要考虑肿瘤生长方式，适当考虑肿瘤发病部位、厚度、大小和细胞的分化程度，可以不考虑患者年龄和性别。     

Rb1基因第16内含子内21个碱基缺失1例

目地研究双眼视网膜母细胞瘤患者Rb1基因杂合性突变的分子生物学特性。方法应用PCR—SSCP直接测序技术检测双眼视网膜母细胞瘤患者白细胞DNA中Rb1基因杂合性突变。结果50例证实有Rb1基因杂合性突变的病例中有1例发生于第16内含子中可以用3种定位方法解释、具有相同序列的21个碱基缺失。结论这种极为少见的Rb1基因突变方式可能是由于破坏了正常拼接位点的结构而激活了“隐蔽拼接位点”，导致异常的Rb1基因mRNA产生或由此影响整个拼接过程。     

碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（bFGF）加速猪背部创伤修复的实验研究

实验采用猪背部创伤模型，观察重组的碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（ｂＦＧＦ）对创伤修复的作用。在无菌条件下用特制打孔器在猪背部切割皮肤，形成２．５ｃｍ２的园型创面。将１５０个创面分成５组，分别以ｂＦＧＦ（６０ｕ／ｃｍ２创面），ｂＦＧＦ（（６０ｕ／ｃｍ２创面）加ＳＤ－Ａｇ、ＳＤ－Ａｇ、生理盐水以及不治疗等方法处理，每间隔一天换药一次。实验结果表明，ｂＦＧＦ具有显著促进肉芽组织生长、加速创面再上皮化率以及增加创面愈合组织抗张力强度等作用。ＦＧＦ显著促修复效应的确切机制尚不完全清楚，可能包括直接与间接效应两方面。

Regeneration of kidney tubular epithelial cells

Conclusion The mechanisms that regulate regeneration of kidney epithelial cells after acute tubular necrosis are poorly understood. Repair of the nephron can take place in the adverse systemic metabolic setting caused by failure of renal function. This clinical observation suggests that factors released at the site of the tubular insult can mediate repair. Studies carried out in this and other laboratories show that kidney epithelial cells can release and respond to polypeptide growth factors which may thereby contribute to renal regeneration by autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Specific growth factors secreted by cells and deposited in the tubular basement membrane prior to injury may subsequently participate in nephron repair. In addition, adenine nucleotides released from injured or dying cells at the injury site or provided exogenously could stimulate surviving renal epithelial cells at the edges of the wound to migrate along the basement membrane to rapidly reepithelialize the nephron and subsequently initiate mitogenesis to replace cells lost by necrosis.The nephrotoxic effect of many agents used in cancer chemotherapy and the older age of patients undergoing complicated surgical procedures has increased the incidence of ARF, whereas the mortality rate has not changed since the early 1950s [22]. Thus there is considerable need for innovative therapeutic strategies. An important goal of future research efforts is to identify new growth factors that facilitate migration, differentiation, and proliferation of renal epithelial cells at sites of tubular necrosis. Isolation and use of these agents in combination with dialysis and nutritional support could speed renal regeneration and thereby improve the outcome in patients with this condition.Abbreviations ARF acute renal failure - ECM extracellular matrix - EGF epidermal growth factor - FGF fibroblast growth factor - IGF insulin-like growth factor - MGSA melanocyte growth-stimulating activity - PDGF platelet-derived growth factor - IGF transforming growth factor
