Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of different stitching methods,over-the-scope-clip (OTSC) and metal clips combined with nylon rope (King closure),for full-layer gastric wall defect.Methods Data of 75 cases,who underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) of gastric SMTs from May 2015 to May 2018 in our endoscopy center were retrospectively analyzed.According to the closure method,the patients were divided into the OTSC group (20 cases) and the King closure group (55 cases).Comparison was made in gender,age,the largest diameter of tumor,the location of tumor,defect surface diameter,total operating time,defect closure time,closure success rate,the length of hospital stays,cost and postoperative complications between the two groups,Results The baseline data were comparable,and there were no significant differences in age,gender,tumor location,tumor diameter,and defect surface diameter between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The success rate of closure was 100％ in both groups.In terms of length of hospital stay,there was no significant difference between the two groups (t =1.13,P=0.268).The total operating time was 63.24±43.22 min in the King closure group versus 47.60± 18.13 min in the OTSC group (t =2.20,P =0.030).The closure time of the defect surface was 20.85 ± 16.35 min in the King closure group versus 10.95±5.20 min in the OTSC group (t =2.65,P=O.010).Hospitalization costs were 24 200±800 yuan in the King closure group versus 36 200±2 350 yuan in the OTSC group (t=6.21,P＜0.001).Postoperative abdominal elevation radiographs in both groups indicated a small amount of subphrenic free gas,and no intervention was given due to the small amount of gas and no obvious symptoms.No late bleeding,recurrent perforation,infection or other complications occurred after operation,and all patients were discharged successfully.Six months after surgery,15 patients (27％) in the King closure group developed metal clips or nylon rope residue,which were successfully removed by endoscopy.The anastomosis clamp of nighteen patients (95％) in the OTSC group were in the original position.None of the patient received open surgery.Conclusion OTSC and King closure are both safe and effective in the treatment of full-thickness defect of gastric wall.OTSC has the advantages of short total operation time and short closure time,but with high cost.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of "ladder reduction method" in the treatment of iliac fracture combined anterior dislocation of sacroiliac joint.Methods:The retrospective analysis was performed on 10 cases of iliac fracture combined anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University from February 2010 to January 2022, among which 5 cases were males and 5 cases were females, aged ranging from 22 to 52 years, with an average age of 38.8 years. All patients were injured in car accidents including 5 cases of C1.2, 3 cases of C2, and 2 cases of C3 fractures according to Tile classification. All patients were treated with the "ladder reduction method" with plate and screw fixation. In the first step, 1-2 Schanz pins were inserted into the iliac crest to control the ilium, and the Schanz pins were appropriately pulled laterally; in the second step, the periosteal stripper was used to pry the reduction between the sacrum and ilium; in the third step, for the patients who still could not be reduced, a 2.5 mm diameter Kirschner wire was placed on the sacrum close to the iliac crest, and a periosteal stripper was inserted between the sacrum and iliac crest, with its tip against the Kirkner wire, and the iliac crest as the fulcrum for pry pulling to separate the two. In the fourth step, the pry was maintained, and then another 2.5 mm diameter Kirschner wire was placed on the sacrum close to the internal margin of the iliac bone. The periosteal stripper was continued to pry between the sacrum and the iliac bone, and the operation was repeated. At the same time, the anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint was reduced with traction of the lower limb. Postoperatively, the quality of reduction was evaluated by the Matta score, and the degree of functional recovery after pelvic fracture was evaluated by the Majeed score.Results:Four patients completed the reduction through the first and second steps, and 6 cases of refractory sacroiliac joint anterior dislocation were successfully reduced through the first to fourth steps. The fracture reduction time of 6 patients with refractory anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation was 39.67±3.09 min (range, 35-44 min), with intraoperative blood loss of 300.00±141.42 ml (range, 150-600 ml); in the other 4 cases, the fracture reduction time was 36.75±4.38 min (range, 30-42 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 225.00±44.30 ml (range, 200-300 ml). All 10 patients were followed up for 12.9±3.7 months (range, 9-20 months). The anterior and posterior pelvic ring fractures were healed in all patients, and the fracture healing time was 12.77±1.62 weeks (range, 10.71-15.28 weeks). At the last follow-up, Matta evaluation was excellent in 5 cases, good in 1 case, and excellent in the other 4 cases. The Majeed scores of 6 cases were 86.50±6.08 points (range, 74-92 points), of which 5 cases were excellent and 1 case was good. The other 4 cases were 81.5±9.39 scores (range, 71-94), of which 2 were excellent and 2 were good.Conclusion:The "ladder reduction method" is a safe, effective and easy-to-operate method for the treatment of iliac fracture combined anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, especially for refractory anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, which can still obtain satisfactory curative effects.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different connection schemes of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on arterial pressure (PA), venous pressure (PV), and transmembrane pressure (TMP), and to provide a theoretical basis for choosing a suitable connection scheme.Methods:① In vitro study: the different connection schemes of CRRT and ECMO were simulated and divided into 6 schemes according to the connection between CRRT and ECMO circuits at different positions. Scheme A: connected to the front and back points of the oxygenator; scheme B: connected to the points behind and in front of the oxygenator; scheme C: connected to the points in front of the oxygenator and in front of the centrifugal pump; scheme D: connected to the points behind the oxygenator and in front of the centrifugal pump; scheme E: connected to the points in front of the oxygenator and the return catheter; scheme F: connected to the points after the oxygenator and the return catheter. Each set of ECMO circuits was measured 5 times under each connection scheme and different flow rates (2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5 L/min). Six ECMO circuits for a total of 30 measurements, and the PA, PV, and TMP of the 6 schemes were compared. ② In vivo study: the patients who were treated with ECMO combined with CRRT in the department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from August 2017 to August 2021 changed the connection scheme due to high PA or PV (from scheme A or B to scheme E or F) were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of PA and PV before and after changing the scheme were compared. Results:① In vitro study results: there was no significant difference in PA between schemes A and B, C and D, E and F under different ECMO blood flow (2-5.5 L/min). The PA of schemes C and D was the lowest, followed by schemes E and F. PV of scheme B was higher than that of scheme A under different ECMO blood flow (2-5.5 L/min). There was no significant difference in PV between schemes C and D, E and F under high ECMO blood flow (3-5.5 L/min), and the absolute value of PV was lowest in schemes E and F. Compared with schemes A and B [partial PA > 300 mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa) at high flow rate], C and D (partial PV > 350 mmHg at high flow rate), schemes E and F were more reasonable connection schemes. TMP was negative in schemes C and D at ECMO blood flow of 5 L/min and 5.5 L/min (mmHg; 5 L/min: scheme C was -29.14±11.42, scheme D was -42.45±15.70; 5.5 L/min: scheme C was -35.75±13.21, scheme D was -41.58±15.42), which indicated the presence of dialysate reverse filtration. Most of the differences in TMP among schemes A, B, E, and F under different ECMO blood flow (2-5.5 L/min) were statistically significant, and the absolute value of mean fluctuation was 9.89-49.55 mmHg, all within the normal range. ② In vivo study results: a total of 10 patients who changed the connection scheme (from scheme A or B to E or F) due to high PA or PV were enrolled, including 8 males and 2 females; 7 cases of venous-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) and 3 cases of venous-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO), all used continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) mode. After changing the scheme, both PA and PV decreased significantly as compared with those before changing [PA (mmHg): 244.00±22.58 vs. 257.20±21.92, PV (mmHg): 257.20±18.43 vs. 326.40±15.41, both P < 0.01], and PV decreased more significantly than PA [difference (mmHg): 69.20±6.55 vs. 13.20±5.45, P < 0.01]. Conclusion:For patients treated with ECMO in combination with CRRT, the scheme of connecting the access line of CRRT to the pre-oxygenator or post-oxygenator and connecting the return line to the point of the return catheter can significantly reduce PA and PV and maintains normal CRRT operation even running high-flow ECMO.
