ABSTRACT
Objective To clarify the value of absorbable barbed suture in closure of galeal. Methods A total of 101 patients had craniotomy treated in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from October 2018 to February 2019 were divided into two groups according to the admission date. In the barbed suture group, 45 patients were sutured with QUILL by continuous stitching. In the control group, 56 patients were sutured with traditional stitchingby intermittent suture. Compare the differences in suture speed, average postoperative hospital stay, incision complication rate, and the average hospital costs of the two groups. Results The suture speed in barbed suture group was (0.330 ± 0.012) cm/min , and was significantly faster than that in control group (0.540 ± 0.016) cm/min;the postoperative average hospitalization days in barbed suture group was (10.91 ± 0.62) d, and was significantly shorter than that in control group (12.73 ± 0.41) d, there were significant differences (P<0.05) . However, the complications and hospital costs in two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions The use of absorbable barbed close epicranial aponeuroisiscan improve suture speed, shorten the postoperative average hospitalization days, which is worthy of promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective Aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism after subarachnoid hemorrhage （SAH） by investigating the expression of tight junction protein Claudin-5 and ZO-1 and the effects of SP600125 on them. Methods Seventy-five male Sprague Dawley rats （300 to 350 g） were randomly divided into sham,SAH,SAH ＋ DMSO （dimethyl sufoxide） solution,SAH ＋SP600125 （C-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor）10 mg/kg,and SAH ＋SP600125 30 mg/kg groups. The standard endovaseular perforation was performed to produce experimental SAH. The JNK inhibitor SP600125 was intraperitoneally administered at 1 hour before and 6 hours after SAH. Results At 24 hours after SAH,signs of microvessels injury were observed in brain cortex. Compared with the sham group,expression of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 was sig- nificantly decreased （P 〈 0.05 ）. JNK inhibitior SP600125 suppressed the decrease of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 expression, attenuated blood-brain barrier disruption in rats after SAH. Conclusions The blood-brain barrier disruption is an important mechanism of early brain injury after SAH. JNK inhibitor SP600125 improves neurological outcomes and provides neuropmtecfion against acute events after SAH such as bloodbrain barrier disruption and cell apoptosis.
