Objective:To observe the effects of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO)combined with prone position ventilation (PPV) on oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), respiratory compliance (Crs) and vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Methods:Eighteen patients with severe ARDS requiring VV-ECMO support in Liuzhou People's Hospital from June 2018 to April 2020 were selected for retrospective analysis, and 8 patients among of these cases received PPV after VV-ECMO. The differences in PaO 2/FiO 2, VIS and Crs before and 1, 2 or 3 days after treatment were compared between VV-ECMO group and VV-ECMO combined with PPV group, as well as the differences in these indices before PPV and 2 hours after PPV daily in VV-ECMO combined with PPV group. The incidence of adverse events in two groups were also observed. Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in PaO 2/FiO 2, Crs between two groups. Over time, PaO 2/FiO 2 and Crs increased and VIS decreased in both groups. Compared with before treatment, there were statistically significant differences in PaO 2/FiO 2 and VIS from 1 day after treatment [PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): VV-ECMO group was 197.75±39.80 vs. 75.57±7.44, VV-ECMO combined with PPV group was 255.20±31.92 vs. 68.24±11.64; VIS: VV-ECMO group was 5.51±3.72 vs. 10.20±7.10, VV-ECMO combined with PPV group was 6.73±3.32 vs. 14.50±2.48, all P < 0.05], up to 3 days after treatment [PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg): VV-ECMO group was 231.96±32.76 vs. 75.57±7.44, VV-ECMO combined with PPV group was 285.61±19.40 vs. 68.24±11.64; VIS: VV-ECMO group was 2.26±1.90 vs. 10.20±7.10, VV-ECMO combined with PPV group was 2.13±1.55 vs. 14.50±2.48, all P < 0.05], and the PaO 2/FiO 2 1 day and 3 days after treatment in VV-ECMO combined with PPV group were significantly higher than those in VV-ECMO group (mmHg: after 1 day of treatment was 255.20±31.92 vs. 197.75±39.80, after 3 days of treatment was 285.61±19.40 vs. 231.96±32.76, both P < 0.05). Before treatment, Crs of VV-ECMO combined with PPV group was significantly lower than that of VV-ECMO group (mL/cmH 2O: 17.91±0.82 vs. 20.54±1.26, P < 0.05). From 1 day after treatment, the Crs in VV-ECMO combined with PPV group was significantly higher than that before treatment (mL/cmH 2O: 21.20±1.50 vs. 17.91±0.82), the peak value was (24.93±2.18) mL/cmH 2O on 3 days after treatment, however, there was no significant difference between the two groups (all P > 0.05). In VV-ECMO combined with PPV group, compared with before PPV treatment, the PaO 2/FiO 2 and Crs of 2 hours after PPV treatment in 1, 2 and 3 days were significantly rose, and it reached the highest level in 3 days [PaO 2/FiO 2(mmHg): 285.61±19.40 vs. 189.91±28.34, Crs (mL/cmH 2O): 24.93±2.18 vs. 23.35±1.45, both P < 0.05]; the VIS was only increased in 2 hours after PPV treatment on the first day than before (6.73±3.32 vs. 6.38±3.22, P < 0.05). There were no related serious adverse events happened after PPV treatment. Conclusions:The combination of PPV during VV-ECMO could further increase PaO 2/FiO 2, improve hypoxemia and implement further protective lung ventilation to reduce the potential hazards during mechanical ventilation. In addition, no serious adverse events were observed in this study, suggesting PPV is safe during VV-ECMO.

Objective To analyze the mortality in the aged patients with hip fractures who have been treated by operations. Methods We collected the clinical data of 349 aged patients (60 to 98 years old) with hip fracture who had been treated by operations from March 1999 to January 2008 in our hospital. Their overall mortality and one-year mortality were analyzed to find the causes for death. Results Thirty-one cases died and the overall mortality was 8.9% (31/349). Nineteen patients died within one year and the one-year mortality was 5.4% (19/349). Three patients died in hospital after surgery, 28 patients died in the follow-up period. Cardiac event, pulmonary dysfunction, cancer, cerebral vascular disease, hepatic cirrhosis, multiple organs dysfunction and infection were sequentially the major causes for death. Statistical results showed the factors which had definitely influenced the mortality were age and sex. Patients treated with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) had the lower mortality than with proximal femoral nail (PFN). Conclusions Operations can lead to a low mortality for aged patients with hip fractures. Ad-equate preparation and mini-invasive surgery can reduce the mortality.

Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2016;32(4):761-763
ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of three liver-protecting drugs commonly used in the treatment of drug-induced liver injury. MethodsThe clinical data of 90 patients with drug-induced liver injury who were treated in Yingcheng People′s Hospital from November 2012 to April 2015 were analyzed retrospectively, and according to the drugs administered, they were divided into groups A, B, and C, with 30 patients in each group. The patients in groups A, B, and C were treated with reduced glutathione, polyene phosphatidylcholine injection, and tiopronin injection, respectively. The efficacy, drug cost, and incidence of adverse events were compared between the three groups. An analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the LSD t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between any two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between multiple groups. ResultsGroup A had a significantly higher overall response rate than groups B and C (90.0% vs 73.3%/76.7%, χ2=2.78 and 3.75, both P<0.05). Group B had a significantly higher drug cost than groups A and C (316.12±4.05 RMB vs 235.13±2.90 and 135.21±7.62 RMB, both P<0.01). The incidence of adverse events showed no significant differences between the three groups (P>0.05). ConclusionIn the clinical treatment of drug-induced liver injury, reduced glutathione has better efficacy compared with polyene phosphatidylcholine and tiopronin, as well as a reasonable cost. Therefore, this drug is preferred in the treatment of this disease.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the clinical value of transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy for the pediatric sinusitis.
METHOD:
Patients with chronic sinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy were divided into two group by undertaken with or without adenoidectomy, the operation group with 43 cases and the control group with 40 cases. Evaluation was performed in pretherapy and after 3 months therapy. Evaluation index included symptom scale for nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea, endoscopy score and CT score for chronic sinusitis.
RESULT:
There was a positive correlation (0.38) between the adenoid size and the symptom of nasal obstruction (P < 0.01). But there were no correlation between the adenoid size and the other index scores (P > 0.05). Whether in the operation group or the control group, all index scores in pretherapy were higher than in post-therapy (P < 0.05). After 3 month therapy, all index scores in the operation group were lower than the control group (P < 0.01). The decreased amplitude of all index scores in the the operation group were higher than the control group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
Adenoidectomy combined with topical nasal treatment is one effective method for the pediatric sinusitis. Adenoidectomy play an important role in the treatment of pediatric rhinosinusitis.
