ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of different drainage methods on pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The data of all patients with PD in Xijing Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University from January 2007 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 670 patients were enrolled, including 415 males and 255 females, aged (58.4±7.3) years, ranging from 24 to 82 years. According to the different method of pancreatic duct drainage, the propensity score was matched, and the patients were divided into internal drainage group ( n=529) and external drainage group ( n=141). The pancreatic fistula rate was compared between the two groups. Factors influencing pancreatic fistula after PD were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results:The incidence of pancreatic fistula in the internal drainage group was 12.5% (66/529), which was significantly higher than that in the external drainage group 6.4% (9/141) (χ 2= 4.16, P=0.041). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years ( OR=2.004, 95% CI: 1.185-3.390), complicated with digestive diseases ( OR=3.087, 95% CI: 1.599-5.959), history of upper abdominal surgery ( OR=2.031, 95% CI: 1.104-3.734) increased the risk of pancreatic fistula after PD (all P<0.05), decreased the risk of pancreatic fistula after PD in patients with external drainage ( OR=0.470, 95% CI: 0.223-0.989, P=0.047), and decreased the risk of pancreatic fistula after PD with the tumor size ( OR=0.725, 95% CI: 0.556-0.944, P=0.017), tumor located in the common bile duct after PD increased the risk of pancreatic fistula ( OR=1.497, 95% CI: 1.192-1.880, P=0.001). Conclusions:Compared with pancreatic duct drainage, external pancreatic duct drainage is better because of preventing postoperative pancreatic fistula.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of skull drilling and/or grinding combined with artificial dermis and vacuum sealing drainage in repairing scalp defects with skull exposure.Methods:From October 2014 to May 2018, 18 patients with scalp defect and skull exposure were treated in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, the Second Clinical College of North Sichuan Medical College, including 10 males and 8 females, with an average age of 64 years (range, 34-86 years). The patients were divided into two groups: group A (by drilling skull or/and grinding combined with artificial dermis cover and vacuum sealing drainage plus two split thickness skin graft repair) and group B (by drilling skull or/andgrinding combined with artificial dermis cover plus two covering leather grinding stage split thickness skin graft repair), 9 cases in each group. The head wound granulation tissue, postoperative complications, skin graft survival rate and wound healing time were compared between the two groups. Vancouver scar assessment scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the wound healing in the two groups.Results:The time of granulation cultivation in group A and group B was (16.44±1.42) days and (29.11±13.32) days, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); The wound healing time of group A and group B was (26.00±3.32) days and (40.67±14.37) days, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); The postoperative complications of group A and group B were 1 case and 5 cases respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The skin graft survival rates of group A and group B were (97.11±3.44)% and (95.00±4.74)%, the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); The wound scar VSS scores of group A and group B were (7.67±1.32) points and (8.78±1.99) points, the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:By drilling skull and/or grinding combined with artificial dermis cover and vacuum sealing drainage and two stage split thickness skin graft for repairing scalp defect with skull exposure wound can not only better scalp defect with skull exposure wounds, and reduce the postoperative complications, and significantly accelerate wound healing, but also can effectively improve the quality of wound healing, which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the possibility of constructing tissue-engineered cartilage three-dimensional nanoscaffolds with collagen Ⅱ (COLⅡ), hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS).Methods:The tissue-engineered cartilage scaffolds were prepared by electrospinning techniques with the mixture COLⅡ-HA-CS solvent, which dissolved by 3-trifluoroethanol-water. The surface topography was observed under electron microscope (SEM). And the diameter of nanofibers, the water absorption rate, contact angle and degradation rate were also detected. Generation 2 rabbit chondrocytes were seeded into the scaffold. The cell survival rate and proliferation were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8.Results:When the concentration range of electrospinning was 80-120 mg/ml and the mixing ratio of Col, HA and CS was 6-8∶1∶1-2, the tissue engineered cartilage nanoscaffolds could be successfully prepared. Their diameters were mainly distributed between 126.5±23.3 nm and 374.7±14.1 nm. The scaffolds had satisfactory hydrophilicity and degradability. The chondrocytes could well adhere and proliferate on the scaffold.Conclusions:The COLⅡ-HA-CS tissue-engineered cartilage nanoscaffolds have good physical and biological properties, which suggests its promising application in tissue-engineered cartilage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a simple and effective method for isolation and culture of mouse adipose-derived stem cells (mASCs)in vitro,in order to provide the sufficient sources of seed cells for the research of mesenchymal stem cells.Methods The mouse inguinal fat tissues were isolated in vitro and performed a digestion with 0.1% collagenase type NB4,then adipose-derived stem cells(ASCs)were seeded and adhered to the culture dishes in low glucose DMEM containing 10% fetal calf serum.The cellu-lar morphology,in vitro proliferation capacity,multidifferentiation potential and immunophenotype were assessed.Results The mASCs showed good cell morphology,extremely strong proliferation capacity and potential of adipogenesis,osteogenesis and chon-drogenesis via in vitro three-dimensional induction.The cellular surface antigen phenotype was consistent with that reported by lit-erature,and the expression of CD34 and CD105 was positive,Sca-1 was highly expressed,CD45 and SSEA-1 were not expressed. Conclusion Using the experimental methods in this research can culture the high purity of mASCs with the excellent stem cell properties and extremely strong proliferative ability.
