Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(14):2112-2114
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of three types of drainage in the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods 84 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice were selected,40 cases were treated with bridge drainage,24 cases were undergone percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD) and 20 cases were treated with Roux-En-Y anastomosis.The changes of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were detected 1,3,7 and 14 days after operation.Results The total bilirubin and direct bilirubin after 1,3,7 and 14 days had significantly decreased compared with pre-treatment(P <0.05),the decline rates in bridge drainage group were faster than the other two groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion The three types of drainage for treating malignant obstructive jaundice have exact effect,and the bridge drainage can reduce the bilirubin to lower levels more quickly than the other two methods.
6.The Guiding Sense of Umbilical Artery Blood pH in the Evaluation of Neonatal Asphyxia Diagnosis and Prognosis
Journal of Medical Research 2009;38(8):44-46
Objective To explore the effect of umbilical artery blood pH on the diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia and the evaluation of its prognosis. Methods Blood samples were obtained from 108 normal newborns and 51 asphyxial newborns,who were randomly chosen among newborns delivered in our hospital from november 2007 to may 2008. Umbilical artery blood gas was measured and compared with apgur rating. Results With the degression of umbilical blood pH, the incidence rate of neonatal asphyxia increased and the normal apgar rating decreased(P < 0.01), which suggesting that there was tight relevant between umbilical blood pH and neonatal asphyxia. Conclusion Compared with apgur rating, umbilical artery blood pH could reflect the asphyxia degree of newborns more objectively andsensitively and it might play a guiding role in the prognosis of neonatal asphyxia.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the therapeutic effect of gastroesophageal devascularization( GD),portasystemic shunt( PSS),devascularization plus portasystemic shunt ( GD + PSS) for the treatment of 4250 cirrhotic portal hypertension cases reported in Chinese literature. MethodsThe literatures about the effect of gastroesophageal devascularization,portasystemic shunt,devascularization plus portasystemic shunt on portal hypertension were collected from Wanfang databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) from 1980 to 2011.RevMan 4.2 and SPSS 13.0 were used for data analysis. ResultsIn this study 17 reports were enrolled into the meta-analysis.The results of the mta-analysis showed that long term survival rate in the group of GD plus PSS was higher than that in group of GD [OR=1.73,95%CI (1.23,2.44),P <0.01].That in group of PSS was similar with the group of GD [ OR =0.87,95 % CI (0.63,1.20),P =0.40 ].That of group GD plus PSS was similar with the group of PSS [ OR =1.73,95% CI (0.95,3.13),P =0.07 ].For recurrent variceal bleeding rate,that in group of PSS was lower than that in the group of GD[ OR =0.46,95% CI (0.35,0.61 ),P <0.01 ].That in the group of GD plus PSS was lower than that in the group of GD [ OR =0.25,95% CI (0.18,0.35),P < 0.01 ].The group of GD plus PSS was similar to that of group of PSS [ OR =0.72,95% CI ( 0.40,1.29 ),P =0.27 ].Encephalopathy rate was higher in the group of PSS than the group of GD [ OR =3.57,95% CI (2.43,5.23 ),P <0.01 ].That in group of GD plus PSS was lower than that in the group of PSS[ OR =0.37,95% CI (0.20,0.69),P <0.01 ],while that in GD plus PSS was similar to the group of GD[ OR =1.58,95% CI (1.02,2.43),P =0.04 ].ConclusionsThe only significant factor influencing the long term result in Chinese patients with portal hypertension is preoperative liver function.The three types of operation have different benefits and disadvantages.
