Objective To investgate risk factors of delayed bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissec-tion(ESD)for early colorectal tumor and precancerrous lesions. Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical date of 138 patients with early colorectal tumor and precancerrous lesions who received ESD in Hubei Cancer Hos-pital from October 2012 to October 2016. Risk factors of delayed bleeding were analysed by univariate and multi-variable logistic regression analysis. Results Ten(7.2%)of 138 patients occurred delayed bleeding after ESD. Univariate analysis showed that there was significent difference between the bleeding group and the non-bleeding group in location of the lesion(P = 0.022),severe fibrosis of submucosa(P = 0.016),Obvious intraoperative bleeding(P = 0.032)and inadequate endosopic experience of endoscopist(P = 0.045). Multivariate Logistic re-gression analysis showed that location of lesion(P = 0.003,OR = 4.64,95%CI:1.71~12.58),severe fibrosis of submucosa(P = 0.009,OR = 4.83,95% CI:1.49~15.60)were independent risk factors of delayed bleeding after ESD for early colorectal tumor and precancerrous lesions. Conclusion Patients with early colorectal tumor and precancerrous lesions in the rectum and severe fibrosis of submucosa are prone to delayed bleeding after ESD.

Objective To determine the median effective plasma concentration (Cp50) of remifentanil inhibiting cardiovascular response to CO2 pneumoperitoneum stimulus when combined with propofol in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynaecological surgery.Methods Twenty-two female patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic gynaecological surgery under general anesthesia, aged20-60 years, with a BMI 18-30 kg/m2, falling into ASA physical statusⅠ orⅡ, were enrolled in this study.Anesthesia was induced with propofol and remifentanil target-controlled infusion and iv injection of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg.The target plasma concentration (Cp) of remifentanil and propofol were set at 5 ng/ml and 4μg/ml respectively.3 minutes after endotracheal intubation, the Cp of remifentanil was adjusted.The target Cp was set at 6 ng/ml in the first patient.CO2 pneumoperitoneum was performed after the target effect-site concentration and Cp were balanced.Each time Cp increased/decreased by 20％in the next patient depending on whether or not the cardiovascular response to CO2 pneumoperitoneum occurred.The positive cardiovascular response was defined as HR and/or MAP increasing by 20％ within 3 minutes after CO2 pneumoperitoneum.The Cp50 and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of remifentanil required to inhibit cardiovascular response to CO2 pneumoperitoneum stimulus when combined with propofol in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynaecological surgery were calculated.Results The Cp50 (95％ CI) of remifentanil required to inhibit cardiovascular response to CO2 pneumoperitoneum stimulus was 4.58 (4.14-5.08) ng/ml when combined with propofol in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynaecological surgery.Conclusion The Cp50 of remifentanil required to inhibit cardiovascular response to CO2 pneumoperitoneum stimulus was 4.58 ng/ml when combined with propofol in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynaecological surgery.

Objective To compare the long-term efficacy of a dose of 3 million units (MU) of r-IFN alpha 2a (IFN-α 2a) three times a week (t.i.w.) for 6 months with a starting dose 6 MU for 3 months and subsequent reduction to 3 MU t.i.w for further 3 months.Methods Sixty-eight serological and histological chronic hepatitis C patients with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were enrolled and randomized into two groups. Sixty-three patients were completed with full course of treatment. Five patients were withdrawn from trial (2 due to personal reasons and 3 due to adverse drug reactions during treatment). Thirty patients received 6 MU IFN-α 2a t.i.w., 3 months followed by 3 MU t.i.w. for another 3 months (Group A). Thirty-three patients received 3 MU IFN-α 2a t.i.w. for 6 months (Group B).Results The sex, age, baseline serum bilirubin, ALT and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were matched in both groups. At the end of the 6th month, the complete and partial response rates in Group A were 60.0% and 16.7% respectively, and the clearance of serum HCV-RNA was 53.3%. In Group B, the complete and partial response rates were 72.7% and 6.1% respectively, and the clearance of HCV-RNA was 61.3%. The patients were followed up for 6,12, and 18 months after stopping treatment. In Group A, the rates of complete normalization of ALT and clearance of serum HCV-RNA at 24 months were 50.0% and 60.0% respectively. In Group B, the rates of normalization of ALT and clearance of HCV-RNA at 24 months were 54.4% and 41.9% respectively. The efficacy between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference. The response rates of treatment were similar to those in the patients with HCV genotype 1b and 2a. Six patients (10.8% of the study population) developed neutralization antibodies to IFN-α 2a during treatment, and four of them were responded to the treatment. Adverse drug reactions (ADR), were common, but most of them were tolerable, and the incidence of ADR was in both groups, but the severity was higher in Group A.Conclusions IFN-α 2a is effective in the treatment of Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis C. The sustained response rates and adverse drug reactions among two dose schedule groups are similar.

Objective To explore the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy in treating renal tumor with Mayo level Ⅲ-Ⅳ inferior vena cava thrombus.Methods From November 2014 to January 2017,5 cases of renal tumor with Mayo level Ⅲ-Ⅳ inferior vena cava tumor thrombus were treated with robot-assisted surgery.There were 4 males and 1 female with the median age of 59 years (range 54-71 years).Four cases had the renal tumor on the right side and one on the left side.The mean tumor size was 6.8 cm (range 5-9 cm) with 3 cases of T3b and 2 cases of T3c.There were 4 cases of level Ⅲ and 1 case of level Ⅳ inferior vena cava thrombus with the median length of 9 cm (range 7-11 cm).The surgical procedure for Mayo level Ⅲ inferior vena cava thrombus included mobilization of both left and right robes of liver,subsequently controlling the suprahepatic infradiaphramatic IVC and first porta hepatis simultaneously.The surgical procedure for Mayo level Ⅳ inferior vena cava thrombus included cardiopulmonary bypass by multi-disciplinary cooperation among urologists,hepatobiliary and cardiovascular surgeons.The procedures included live mobilization,control of the superior vena cava and first porta hepatis and remove thrombus in the atrium and IVC respectively.Results All operations were completed successfully.The median operative time was 440 min (320-630 min).The blood recovery device was used and the intraoperative estimated blood loss was 2 500 ml (500-6 000 ml) and all cases required intraoperative blood transfusion.The median time of intraoperative occlusion of IVC was 35 min (25-50 min).All patients were transferred to the intensive care unit for median of 4 days (2-8 days) after surgery.The median time to remove the postoperative drainage tube was 9 days (7-12 days).Postoperative pathological diagnosis revealed 5 cases of clear cell carcinoma.Postoperative renal dysfunction occurred in 3 patients and liver dysfunction occurred in 2 patients who improved after medical therapy.During median 19.6 months (12-48 months) of follow-up,1 patient died and 1 patient progressed.Conclusions Despite the high risk of surgery,robot-assisted laparoscopic IVC thrombectomy for renal tumor with Mayo level Ⅲ-Ⅳ thrombus is feasible for experienced surgeons in selected patients.However,the oncological outcomes need further investigation.

Objective To analyze the anesthetic effect and hemodynamic impact of oxybutynin(OBI)combined with dexmedetomidine(DEX)on patients undergoing endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy(En-DCR).Methods Patients who underwent En-DCR from February 2024 to May 2024 at Mianyang Wanjiang Eye Hospital were recruited.They were randomly divided into the DEX group(DEX administration only)and the combined group(DEX combined with OLI administration)according to the random number table method.The primary observational index in this study was the 24-h postoperative pain numerical rating scale(NRS)scores.The secondary observation indexes were heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),respiratory recovery time(SRT),extubation time(ET)and awakening time(AT),peak systolic value(PSV),end-diastolic blood flow velocity(EDV),resistance index(RI)and blood flow(BF).The occurrence of adverse events in patients during hospitalization was observed and recorded.Results A total of 80 patients were included in the study,with 40 in each of the DEX group and the combined group.In terms of analgesia,the NRS scores in the combined group were lower than those in the DEX group at T1(within 0.5 h after catheter removal),T2(4 h postoperatively),T3(8 h postoperatively),and T4(24 h postoperatively)(P＜0.05),and the remedial analgesia rate in the combined group was significantly lower than that in the DEX group(P＜0.05).Regarding anesthetic effects,HR and MAP at time points T6(during induction of anesthesia),T7(intraoperatively)and T8(during resuscitation)were lower in the combined group than in the DEX group(P＜0.05);and SRT,ET and AT were shorter in the combined group compared with the DEX group(P＜0.05).In terms of hemodynamics,at 24 h postoperatively,PSV,EDV and BF were significantly higher in both groups compared with those before anesthesia,whereas RI was significantly lower than before anesthesia(P＜0.05);PSV,EDV and BF were higher in the combined group than those in the DEX group,and RI was lower than that in the DEX group(P＜0.05).Regarding adverse reactions,the incidence of adverse reactions in the combined group was significantly lower than that in the DEX group(P＜0.05).Conclusion OLI combined with DEX prophylactic analgesia for patients with En-DCR is effective,not only to reduce postoperative pain,stabilize hemodynamics,shorten the time of extubation and awakening,and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of road traffic injuries among children aged 0-17 in Shashi District, Jingzhou City, and to provide a basis for formulating strategies and measures to prevent road traffic injuries in children. Methods A staged random sampling method was used to select preschool children from 8 communities, and students from 8 primary schools, 8 junior high schools and 4 senior high schools, respectively, in Shashi District of Jingzhou. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the children on road traffic safety, and the incidence of children's traffic injuries and their cognition and behavior were analyzed.  Results A total of 8 299 children completed the survey. The incidence rate of non-fatal road traffic injuries was 1.07%. Children aged 11-15 years had the highest incidence of road traffic injuries among all age groups, accounting for 66.29% of the total injuries, followed by the 16-20 years old group. The main risk factors of road traffic injuries in children were not taking the special lane when riding a bicycle, running red lights, using mobile phones when walking, and not wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle. Walking was the main way for students to have road traffic injuries.  Conclusion Children's road traffic injuries became a social problem that should not be ignored. Students above fourth grade were the key population for children's road traffic injury intervention in Shashi District. Road traffic safety publicity and intervention should be carried out for children of different ages and genders.

Objective To understand the current status of emergency vaccination of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) vaccine in Jingzhou, serological monitoring and the incidence of vaccinated population, and to evaluate the protective effect of emergency vaccination of HFRS vaccine on the control of HFRS epidemic in the city. Methods From 2018 to 2020, HFRS vaccination was carried out in Jianli City, Honghu City, Jiangling County, Gongan County and some townships in Shashi City, Jingzhou City, focusing on people aged 30-59 years old. The incidence of HFRS, vaccination history of cases and HFRS vaccination data of Jingzhou City were collected and analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods. The sera of those who had not been vaccinated with HFRS vaccine (non-vaccinated group) and those who had been vaccinated with HFRS vaccine (vaccinated group) were collected for IgG antibody detection, and the serum IgG was detected by ELISA method. The correlation between the change in the number of cases in townships where people were vaccinated (comparison between 2017-2018 and 2020) and the vaccination rate before 2019 was analyzed. Results A total of 446 900 doses of HFRS vaccine were vaccinated from 2018 to 2020, covering 22 townships in 5 counties and cities, accounting for 17.19% (22/128) of the total number of townships in the city. A total of 120 953 people completed 3 doses of vaccination, accounting for 11.30% of the total population and 23.77% of the population aged 30-59 in the vaccinated township. The positive rate of IgG in the unvaccinated group in Jingzhou was 9.91% (85/858). The positive rate of IgG in the vaccination group was 40.96% (34/83). The positive rates of IgG in the 1-dose group, 2- dose group, and 3-dose group were 0 (0/2), 18.18% (6/33), and 58.33% (28/48), respectively. From 2017 to 2020, a total of 16 cases had been vaccinated with HFRS before the onset of the disease, and 81.25% (13/16) received 2 doses or less of HFRS vaccine. The changes in the number of cases was negatively correlated with the vaccination rate of the whole population in townships where people were vaccinated (r_s=-0.58, P=0.011). The changes in the number of cases was negatively correlated with the vaccination rate of people aged 30-59 years in townships where people were vaccinated (r_s=-0.46, P=0.055). Conclusion The HFRS vaccination before 2019 has played a certain protective effect on the vaccinated population. However, the inoculation rate of HFRS vaccine in Jingzhou City is still low, and the protective effect on the whole population has not yet appeared.
