One hundred and ninety-three patients undergoing transvaginal hysterectomy for cicatrix uterus (study group), 200 patients receiving transabdominal hysterectomy for cicatrix uterus (control group Ⅰ), and 200 patients having transvaginal hysterectomy for non-prolapsed uterus (control group Ⅱ) were retrospectively analyzed. In comparison with the control group Ⅰ, the study group showed a significantly reduced operation time and the average volume of blood loss (P < 0.01). Moreover, patients in the study group had shorter postoperative recovery time (P < 0.01) . The incidence of postoperative fever was decreased in the study group. There was no significant difference in complications of the vaginal wound between the three groups (P 0.05). This investigation demonstrates that transvaginal hysterectomy might be feasible and safe in removing cicatrix non-prolapsed uterus.
4.Intravital observation technology of dorsal microcirculatory chamber and its application.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2010;27(3):688-691
Observation of microcirculation plays an important role on the basic research and clinical diagnosis. However, an observation as such on the anesthetized patient will cause stress reaction, thus it will affect normal physiological state and interfere experimental results. At present, a method adopting dorsal microcirculatory chamber (DMC) to do in vivo observation in an unanesthetized state can eliminate the influence of anesthesia. Based on the research reports and practical applications of this method abroad, we summarize, in here, the configuration, function, observation techniques; the application of DMC; and the research states of microcirculation observation.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting the disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis in patients with ulceration necrosis tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB Ⅱ) after standardized chemotherapy and bronchoscopic intervention.Methods:The clinical data of 222 TBTB Ⅱ patients admitted to Hunan Chest Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were collected, bronchoscopic interventional treatment was performed on time. The texture, blockage of lumen, granulation proliferation, airway stenosis of TBTB patients before treatment, the disappearance time of airway dead objects, scar repair time and stenosis degree after treatment were followed up. The disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis and its influencing factors were recorded and analyzed.Results:In 222 patients, 508 ulceration necrosis airway lesions were found under bronchoscopy, with a median of 2(1-6); 170(76.6%) cases of airway lesions had different degrees of stenosis before treatment. 79(35.6%) patients had tough necrosis, and 86(38.7%) patients had necrosis blocking the lumen; 132(59.5%) patients had granulomatosis. The disappearance time of airway necrosis after treatment was 1 to 32 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 6(3, 9) weeks; the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 2 to 73 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 14(10, 19) weeks; after treatment, there were 90.5%(201/222) patients with different degrees of scarring in the airways. Cox multiple analysis showed that the risk factor for the disappearance time of airway necrosis was tough tough necrosis ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.10-2.10); the risk factor for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was the disappearance time of airway necrosis 6-9 weeks ( HR=2.73, 95% CI: 1.84-4.05). Conclusions:90.5% of patients with type Ⅱ TBTB developed airway scar stenosis after treatment. The median time for the disappearance of airway necrosis was 6 weeks, and the median time for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 14 weeks. In the interventional process, attention should be paid to the removal of tough necrosis and the efficiency of necrosis removal to reduce the risk of airway scar stenosis.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that both Panax notoginseng saponins and concentrated growth factor can promote fracture healing,but there are few studies addressing their combined effects on fracture healing.Panax notoginseng saponins may accelerate fracture healing by promoting the release of concentrated growth factor-related factors over a certain period of time. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Panax notoginseng saponins on concentrated growth factor release and fracture healing in rats. METHODS:Eighteen 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were numbered and randomly divided into three groups:Panax notoginseng saponins group,model control group and blank group.Panax notoginseng saponins group was fed with Panax notoginseng saponins for 2 weeks.Model control group was given 2 mL of normal saline for 2 weeks and blank group was fed normally.Concentrated growth factor was obtained by the centrifugation method both from the Panax notoginseng saponins group and model control group.After 1 week of normal feeding,all animals underwent modeling for femoral fracture.The Panax notoginseng saponins group and the model control group were implanted with autologous concentrated growth factor,and then the release concentration of growth factors at different time points(1 hour,1,3,5,7,9 and 11 days)were measured by ELISA.Fracture healing was assessed based on postoperative X-ray and hematoxylin-eosin staining of bone tissues. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model control group,the Panax notoginseng saponins group had higher release concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A and transforming growth factor β at 7,9,and 11 days,Platelet-derived growth factor BB at 5,9,and 11 days,and basic fibroblast growth factor at 1-11 days(P<0.01).X-ray examinations indicated that fracture healing in the Panax notoginseng saponins group was better than that in the model control group,and fracture healing in these two groups was better than that in the blank group at 2 months after surgery.Hematoxylin-eosin staining results found that the constituent osteocyte density in the Panax notoginseng saponins group was greater than that in the model control group,and the constituent osteocyte density in these two groups was better than that in the blank group.These findings indicate that Panax notoginseng saponins can increase the concentration of concentrated growth factor-related factors.After intervention with Panax notoginseng saponins,concentrated growth factors are more advantageous in promoting fracture healing in rats.
