Objective To investigate the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and to explore the ways of prevention. Methods Clinical data of 930 subjects, in which 510 were older than 60, with cholangiopancreatic diseases who underwent ERCP in the past 2 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results Success rate of ERCP was 96.34% (896/930),and the postoperative complication incidence was 7.85% (73/930). Of all the complications, there were 42 cases of acute pancreatitis, among which 1 was accompanied with biliary tract infection, 4 cases of duodenum perforation, 6 delayed hemorrhage, 2 cardiac dilacerations bleeding, and 19 biliary tract infection (5 combined with infectious shock). All subjects with complications were cured except for 2 deaths. Conclusion ERCP is a safe and effective method for elderly patients. However, due to decreased organ functions and other underlying diseases, complications after ERCP in elderly patients are usually difficult to manage. The key factors in prevention of complications after ERCP includes in obedience to indications, improvement in procedure skills, treatment of accompanied diseases before and after ERCP, and active management of complications.

Objective:To investigate the study of the correlation between C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) and restenosis after stenting in patients with lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease(LEASO).Methods:The clinical data of 95 patients with LEASO admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from June 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 67 males and 28 females,aged (73.1±9.4) years (range:51 to 92 years). The patients were classified into the restenosis group ( n=61) and the patency group ( n=34) according to the CT angiography results. Independent sample t test,Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare the data between two groups. Risk factors for restenosis after femoropopliteal artery stenting in patients with LEASO were analyzed using multivariate Cox regression. The relationship between preoperative CAR level and restenosis after stent placement was analyzed. Subject operating characteristic(ROC) curves of CAR were plotted to assess the predictive value of CAR for restenosis after stenting,and the results were expressed as area under the curve (AUC). Results:The aortoiliac calcification grade,number of stents,length of stents,C-reactive protein and CAR levels in restenosis group were higher than those in the patency group,and the serum albumin level was lower than that in the patency group(all P<0.05). And the results of multifactorial Cox regression analysis showed that higher pre-procedure CAR level and lower ABI value was an independent risk factor for in-stent restenosis. The AUC of the ROC curve for restenosis was 0.737(95% CI:0.617 to 0.856),the AUC of the ROC curve for 12-month restenosis was 0.709(95% CI:0.602 to 0.815), and the AUC of the ROC curve for 24-month restenosis was 0.702(95% CI:0.594 to 0.811). Conclusion:Higher pre-procedural CAR levels in patients with LEASO is risk factor for in-stent restenosis,and CAR has a predictive value for restenosis after lower extremity arterial stent dilatation and angioplasty.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long-term oral aspirin on the changes in the aneurysm sac and persistent type Ⅱ endoleak after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms based on propensity score-matched analysis.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 133 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms treated with EVAR from January 2019 to December 2021 in the Department of Vascular Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. There were 113 males and 20 females, aged (74.8±7.2) years (range: 59 to 95 years). Patients were divided into the group receiving aspirin ( n=80) and the group not taking aspirin ( n=53) based on whether they took aspirin regularly for a long time after surgery. The two groups were matched in a 1∶1 ratio using propensity score matching and the caliper value was 0.05. Cumulative probability curve was plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-rank test was used to compare the differences in primary endpoint events (enlargement of the aneurysm sac, occurrence of persistent type Ⅱ endoleak) and secondary endpoint events (adverse cardiovascular events and clinically relevant bleeding events) between the two groups. Results:The follow-up time was (38.4±11.8) months (range: 30 to 58 months). Among the 133 patients, a total of 25 cases (18.8%) suffered enlargement of the aneurysm sac, including 20 cases in the group receiving aspirin and 5 cases in the group not taking aspirin; 35 cases (26.3%) suffered persistent type Ⅱ endoleak, including 26 cases in the group receiving aspirin and 9 cases in the group not taking aspirin. Adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 11 cases (8.3%) and clinically relevant bleeding events were reported in 5 cases (3.8%). A matched cohort was established after propensity score matching, resulting in 32 cases per group. The survival analysis found that the rate of aneurysm sac enlargement was significantly higher in the group receiving aspirin than that in the group not taking aspirin (Log-rank test: P=0.010), and the incidence of persistent type Ⅱ endoleak was significantly higher than that in the group not taking aspirin (Log-rank test: P=0.019). The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and clinically relevant bleeding events were not significantly different in two groups (Log-rank test: P=0.061, P=0.286). Conclusions:The risk of aneurysm sac expansion and persistent type Ⅱ endoleak were significantly higher in patients taking long-term aspirin after EVAR than in the group not taking asprin. Therefore, high-risk abdominal aortic aneurysm patients who are prone to aneurysm sac expansion should be evaluated in advance so that the risks and benefits of surgery can be comprehensively evaluated and treatment strategies can be optimized.

Objective:To systematically search, evaluate, and summarize the best evidence on sexual health management for cervical cancer patients to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical practice.Methods:According to the "6S" pyramid model, a systematic search was conducted for evidence on sexual health management in cervical cancer patients, including clinical decisions, guidelines, evidence summaries, expert consensus, and systematic reviews, from domestic and international guidelines, professional association websites, and comprehensive databases. The search covered literature from the inception of the databases to November 30, 2023. Two researchers trained in evidence-based nursing independently evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies and extracted and summarized the evidence.Results:A total of 13 articles were included, consisting of 3 clinical decisions, 5 guidelines, 1 expert consensus, and 4 systematic reviews. A total of 27 pieces of evidence were extracted and summarized, covering six aspects: screening and assessment, psychological interventions, device and exercise interventions, non-hormonal interventions, hormonal interventions, and follow-up.Conclusions:The best evidence summarized in this study for sexual health management in cervical cancer patients can provide evidence-based guidance for clinical healthcare providers to standardize the sexual health management of cervical cancer patients.
