Background
The surgical indications for symptomatic rectocele are undefined, and surgery has high recurrence rates. We implemented magnetic resonance imaging defecography (MRID) to determine if utilizing strict inclusion criteria for rectocele repair improves outcomes.Methods
Patients with obstructive defecation syndrome (ODS) who underwent dynamic MRID were evaluated. Indications for surgical repair were defecation requiring manual assistance and the following MRID results: anterior defect >2 cm, incomplete evacuation, and the absence of perineal descent. Primary outcomes were the change in quality of life (QOL) scores and recurrence.Results
From 2006 to 2013, 143 patients who presented with ODS underwent MRID. Seventeen patients met the criteria for repair. Recurrence was low (5.8%) with a median follow-up of 23 months, QOL scores improved from 57.3 to 76.5 (P = .041).Conclusions
A minority of patients (12%) with ODS met the above criteria for rectocele repair. Patients who underwent repair had a significant improvement in QOL and low recurrence rate. 相似文献2.

PURPOSE: To report a case of peripheral infiltrate between the flap edge and limbus, which appeared on the first postoperative day after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: A 22-year-old man underwent uneventful bilateral simultaneous LASIK but developed a thick band of infiltrate between the flap margin and limbus extending from 2 o'clock to 9 o'clock in both eyes. The flap edge was not involved. The infiltrate was more concentrated at the periphery and faded centrally and progressed diffusely into the interface leading to typical diffuse lamellar keratitis. RESULTS: The infiltrate responded to topical prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops. CONCLUSIONS: This entity was referred to as LASIK-induced bilateral peripheral infiltrative keratitis with a probable immune-mediated etiology. 相似文献

Cyclodextrins (CDs) have been widely used as a promising alternative in the formation of inclusion complexes with poorly soluble molecules. From this perspective, the present study aimed to study the inclusion complexes of diosmin in β-cyclodextrin, chemically quantify the diosmin-in-gel preparation and analyze the stability of the gels. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of therapeutic pulsed ultrasound (TPU) in association with the gel–diosmin complex on the parameters of muscle damage and oxidative stress in rats. Serum creatine kinase (CK) levels were used as an indicator of skeletal muscle injury. Lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [TBARS]) and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were used as indicators of oxidative stress. The results obtained indicated that the inclusion complex obtained by co-evaporation had the highest complexation efficiency and stability; there was no change in the features of diosmin on incorporation into the Carbopol gel. Additionally, a significant (p?<0.05) decrease was observed in CK levels (TPU?plus gel-diosmin: 178.4?±?85.3?U/L) relative to the untreated group (527.8?±?46.1?U/L). Levels of TBARS were lower in the TPU?plus gel-diosmin group (0.008?±?0.0004?nmol malondialdehyde/mg protein, p?<0.05) compared with the untreated group (0.081?±?0.011?nmol malondialdehyde/mg protein, p?<0.05, n?=?6). Catalase activity did not statistically significantly differ between the treatment groups, and superoxide dismutase activity was lower in the diosmin-treated group (0.320?±?0.11?U/mg protein) compared with the untreated group (0.983?±?0.40?U/mg protein). These results suggest that TPU in association with the diosmin–gel complex is effective in reducing muscle damage and oxidative stress after mechanical trauma. 相似文献

PROBLEM: Anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies are associated with stillbirths, recurrent miscarriages and recurrent in vitro fertilization implantation failure in women. Previous animal studies have demonstrated that these antibodies can cause early fetal demise and implantation failure in mice, but most previous studies have not allowed the immunized mice to proceed to the full term of gestation. METHOD OF STUDY: Mice were immunized with either cardiolipin alone or cardiolipin in combination with beta2-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) and have studied the effects of these antibodies on pregnancies which were allowed to progress to term. RESULTS: Immunization with cardiolipin alone induced significant levels of anticardiolipin antibodies in mice, but immunization with a combination of cardiolipin and beta2GPI produced even higher levels of antibodies. Mice with elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies had poor pregnancy outcomes. This study confirms previous results that anticardiolipin antibodies cause early pregnancy losses and also demonstrates that these antibodies cause stillbirth-like late fetal demise. This study further demonstrated that very high levels of anticardiolipin antibodies cause intrauterine death by facilitating the thrombotic episode in placenta. CONCLUSIONS: The present study concludes that the possible mechanism involves in stillbirth of aCL is possibly because of the thrombotic events of placenta. 相似文献

Colon cancer remains a significant clinical problem worldwide and in the United States it is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women.It is generally accepted that most malignant neoplasms of the colon arise from precursor adenomatous polyps.This stepwise progression of normal epithelium to carcinoma,often with intervening dysplasia,occurs as a result of multiple sequential,genetic mutations-some are inherited while others are acquired.Malignant polyps are defined by the presence of cancer cells invading through the muscularis mucosa into the underlying submucosa(T1).They can appear benign endoscopically but the presence of malignant invasion histologically poses a difficult and often controversial clinical scenario.Emphasis should be initially focused on the endoscopic assessment of these lesions.Suitable polyps should be resected en-bloc,if possible,to facilitate thorough evaluation by pathology.In these cases,proper attention must be given to the risks of residual cancer in the bowel wall or in the surrounding lymph nodes.If resection is not feasible endoscopically,thenthese patients should be referred for surgical resection.This review will discuss the important prognostic features of malignant polyps that will most profoundly affect this risk profile.Additionally,we will discuss effective strategies for their overall management. 相似文献
