ABSTRACT
Vagus nerve reflex is a rare complication of percutaneous renal decompression. It is often induced by excessively rapid decompression of severe hydronephrosis and traction of the main nerves innervating the kidney. The clinical manifestations are irritability, sweating, clammy skin, hiccups, slow heart rate. It is easy to misdiagnose. In this study, 4 patients with vagus nerve excitement after percutaneous renal decompression were treated. After monitoring the patient’s vital signs and giving treatment such as expanding blood volume and raising blood pressure, the symptoms gradually disappeared.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility of the modified RUSS (Resorlu-Unsal Stone Score)renal stone scoring system in predicting the stone free rate after Flexible Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy(FURL).Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 104 cases of renal stones treated by FURL from March 2017 to January 2019 in the second affiliated hospital of zhengzhou university,including 75 males and 29 females.Age 20-75 (47.79 ± 13.21) years.BMI 18.2-38.3 (24.4 ± 3.7) kg/m2;Crushed stone site:left 56 cases,right 48 cases.There were 23 cases of renal inferior calyces calculi,81 cases of non-inferior calyces calculi,and 19 cases of renal inferior calyces calculi with IPA < 45°;American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores:65 cases of grade Ⅰ,39 cases of grade Ⅱ;There were 71 patients with urinary tract infection before operation.There were 6 cases of renal puncture fistula before operation.Preoperative indwelling ureteral stent in 26 cases;There were 32 cases with history of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.There were 27 patients with a history of urolithiasis therapy.The same physician used preoperative urinary CT + 3D reconstruction imaging data to measure the factors influencing the postoperative stone free rate.RUSS renal stone scoring system was used to score the stones of patients before operation,and the relationship between the scores and the stones free rate was analyzed.The RUSS renal stone scoring system was supplemented and improved by including staghorn stone,duplicate renal,caliceal diverticulum,renal malrotation,stone area,and CT value related indexes.The modified RUSS renal stone scoring system was used to score the preoperative stone condition of patients,and the relationship between the score and the stone free rate was analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the modified RUSS,the characteristics of the stones,and RUSS system.Results The stone free rate was 69.2% (72/104) 4 weeks after the operation,and there were no postoperative complications.Single-factor analysis showed that stone area,CT value,number of renal calyx involved by stone,multiple stones,IPA,stone size grading,renal anatomic structure abnormality,staghorn stone were all related risk factors affecting postoperative patients.Multi-factor analysis showed that stone area,number of renal calyces involved by stone,multiple stones,IPA and stone size were independent risk factors affecting the stone free rate after FURL.RUSS scores ranged from 0 to 3 points,corresponding to stone clearing rates of 86.8% (33/38),67.7% (23/34),58.3% (14/24) and 25.0% (2/8),respectively.Stone clearing rates were significantly correlated with stone grading (P < 0.05).The total scores of stone free group and residual stone group were (0.87 ± 0.96) points and (1.53 ± 0.98) points,respectively,with significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05).The range of modified RUSS score was 0-4 points,corresponding to the stone clearing rate of 100.0% (25/25),92.3% (24/26),54.2% (13/24),47.4% (9/19),and 10.0% (1/10),respectively.Stone free rate was significantly correlated with stone grading (P < 0.05).The total scores of stone free group and residual stone group were (1.15 ± 1.13) points and (2.81 ± 0.93) points,respectively,with significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05).The AUC of stone features was smaller than that of the modified RUSS scoring system.The AUC of RUSS scoring system (0.707,95 % CI 0.598-0.815) was smaller than that of the modified RUSS scoring system (0.865,95% CI 0.797-0.933).Conclusions Both the RUSS scoring system and the modified RUSS scoring system could accurately predict the postoperative stone free status of FURL,while the modified RUSS scoring was more accurate than the RUSS scoring.

Objective@#To explore the feasibility of the modified RUSS (Resorlu-Unsal Stone Score) renal stone scoring system in predicting the stone free rate after Flexible Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy(FURL).@*Methods@#Retrospective analysis was performed on 104 cases of renal stones treated by FURL from March 2017 to January 2019 in the second affiliated hospital of zhengzhou university, including 75 males and 29 females. Age 20-75 (47.79±13.21) years. BMI 18.2-38.3 (24.4±3.7) kg/m2; Crushed stone site: left 56 cases, right 48 cases. There were 23 cases of renal inferior calyces calculi, 81 cases of non-inferior calyces calculi, and 19 cases of renal inferior calyces calculi with IPA<45°; American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores: 65 cases of grade Ⅰ, 39 cases of grade Ⅱ; There were 71 patients with urinary tract infection before operation. There were 6 cases of renal puncture fistula before operation. Preoperative indwelling ureteral stent in 26 cases; There were 32 cases with history of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. There were 27 patients with a history of urolithiasis therapy. The same physician used preoperative urinary CT+ 3D reconstruction imaging data to measure the factors influencing the postoperative stone free rate. RUSS renal stone scoring system was used to score the stones of patients before operation, and the relationship between the scores and the stones free rate was analyzed. The RUSS renal stone scoring system was supplemented and improved by including staghorn stone, duplicate renal, caliceal diverticulum, renal malrotation, stone area, and CT value related indexes. The modified RUSS renal stone scoring system was used to score the preoperative stone condition of patients, and the relationship between the score and the stone free rate was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the modified RUSS, the characteristics of the stones, and RUSS system.@*Results@#The stone free rate was 69.2% (72/104) 4 weeks after the operation, and there were no postoperative complications. Single-factor analysis showed that stone area, CT value, number of renal calyx involved by stone, multiple stones, IPA, stone size grading, renal anatomic structure abnormality, staghorn stone were all related risk factors affecting postoperative patients. Multi-factor analysis showed that stone area, number of renal calyces involved by stone, multiple stones, IPA and stone size were independent risk factors affecting the stone free rate after FURL. RUSS scores ranged from 0 to 3 points, corresponding to stone clearing rates of 86.8% (33/38), 67.7% (23/34), 58.3% (14/24) and 25.0% (2/8), respectively. Stone clearing rates were significantly correlated with stone grading (P<0.05). The total scores of stone free group and residual stone group were (0.87±0.96) points and (1.53±0.98) points, respectively, with significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). The range of modified RUSS score was 0-4 points, corresponding to the stone clearing rate of 100.0% (25/25), 92.3% (24/26), 54.2% (13/24), 47.4% (9/19), and 10.0% (1/10), respectively. Stone free rate was significantly correlated with stone grading (P<0.05). The total scores of stone free group and residual stone group were (1.15±1.13) points and (2.81±0.93) points, respectively, with significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). The AUC of stone features was smaller than that of the modified RUSS scoring system. The AUC of RUSS scoring system (0.707, 95%CI 0.598-0.815) was smaller than that of the modified RUSS scoring system (0.865, 95%CI 0.797-0.933).@*Conclusions@#Both the RUSS scoring system and the modified RUSS scoring system could accurately predict the postoperative stone free status of FURL, while the modified RUSS scoring was more accurate than the RUSS scoring.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy of improved TIPS of percutaneous portal vein puncture in treatment of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding induced by portal hypertension.Methods 28 patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding underwent improved TIPS therapy in our hospital were enrolled.The clinical data,laboratory parameters and hemodynamic changes were collected and analyzed before and after operation.Results The success rate for the first time and hemostatic rate of postoperative 24 hours in all patients was 100%.2(7.14%)patients underwent mild hepatic encephalopathy.After TIPS operation,the concentration of serum albumin increased,whereas,concentration of total bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase decreased(P<0.01).Portal vein pressure (PVP)of pre-and post-operation was(41.48 ± 3.72)mmHg and(28.91 ± 2.59)mmHg,and the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG)was(20.30 ± 2.76)mmHg and(8.81 ± 2.04)mmHg.PVP and HVPG were both decreased significantly after operation(P<0.01).Conclusion Improved TIPS therapy can obtain good clinical efficacy and safety for esophageal and gastric varicose bleeding in acute cirrhosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the optimal indwelling time of double?J stent in the treatment of ureteral complicated calculi post?ureteroscopy. Methods A total of 161 patients with complicated ureteral calculi were enrolled in this study from August 2012 to August 2015. All patients received the treatment of ureteroscopic holmium YAG Laser lithotripsy and were randomly divided into 3 groups according to varied double?J stent indwelling time: group A 6 weeks (n = 51). Complications of three groups were compared and the hydronephrosis after removing double?J stent was recorded. Results The rate of complications of group C was significantly higher than that in group A and group B (P<0.017). However,group A(10/43)has a higher rate of ureterostenosis after removing double?J stent compared with group B(4/67)and group C(3/51),while no statistical significance was observed between group B and group C. Conclusion The incidence of complications after lithotripsy increased with the indwelling time of double?J stent,but the short indwelling time would led to ureterostenosis. Therefore,the optimal indwelling time of double?J stent after flexible ureteroscopy was 2 to 6 weeks,and the indwelling time for patients with injury ureteral mucosa could be appropriately prolonged.
