Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN).Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with VAIN,aged 33-76 years,were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,16 patients were diagnosed with grade Ⅰ VAIN,5 with grade Ⅱ VAIN and 29 with grade Ⅲ VAIN.Results A majority of VAIN patients presented with no clinical symptoms,whereas few cases were manifested with increased vaginal secretion.The lesions were located in the vaginal fornix or the upper 1/3 of the vagina in 82％ of patients,and in the middle and lower 1/3 of the vagina in the remaining 18％ cases.Patients with VAIN Ⅰ were observed during follow-up,VAIN Ⅱ patients were given with local administration of medication,and VAIN Ⅲ patients received three-dimensional high-dose rate after loading intracavitary radiotherapy.Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection was positively correlated with VAIN grade (P=0.028).Conclusions The VAIN grade is positively correlated with high-risk HPV infection.Afterloading intracavitary radiotherapy is an efficacious therapeutic approach for VAIN Ⅲ patients,which yields slight adverse events and high cure rate.

OBJECTIVES: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is one of the important factors affecting the recovery of the elderly after surgery, and sleep disorders are also one of the common diseases of the elderly. Previous studies have shown that the quality of postoperative sleep may be factor affecting postoperative cognitive function, but there are few studies on the relationship between preoperative sleep disorders and postoperative cognitive dysfunction. This study aims to explore the relationship between preoperative sleep disorders and postoperative delayed neurocognitive recovery in elderly patients, and provide references for improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients. METHODS: This study was porformed as a prospective cohort study. Elderly patients (age≥65 years old) underwent elective non-cardiac surgery at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2019 to January 2020 were selected and interviewed 1 day before the operation. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) were used to assess the patient's baseline cognitive status. Patients with preoperative MMSE scores of less than 24 points were excluded. For patients meeting the criteria of inclusion, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale was used to evaluate the patients, and the patients were divided into a sleep disorder group and a non-sleep disorder group according to the score. General data of patients were collected and intraoperative data were recorded, such as duration of surgery, anesthetic time, surgical site, intraoperative fluid input, intraoperative blood product input, intraoperative blood loss and drug use. On consecutive 5 days after surgery, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to evaluate the sleep of the previous night and the pain of the day, which were recorded as sleep NRS score and pain NRS score; Confusion Assessment Method for ICU (CAM-ICU) scale and Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) scale were used to assess the occurrence of delirium. On the 7th day after the operation, the MMSE and MoCA scales were used to evaluate cognitive function of patients. We compared the incidence of postoperative complications, the number of deaths, the number of unplanned ICU patients, the number of unplanned secondary operations, etc between the 2 groups. The baseline and prognosis of the 2 groups of patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistics to analyze their correlation. RESULTS: A total of 105 patients were collected in this study, including 32 patients in the sleep disorder group and 73 patients in the non-sleep disorder group. The general information of the 2 groups, such as age, gender, body mass index, and surgery site, were not statistically significant (all CONCLUSIONS Preoperative sleep disorders can increase the risk of delayed neurocognitive function recovery in elderly patients. Active treatment of preoperative sleep disorders may improve perioperative neurocognitive function in elderly patients.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the risk factors for postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in neurosurgical patients to provide the basis for the prevention of postoperative DVT. METHODS: A total of 141 patients underwent neurosurgery were enrolled. Thrombelastography (TEG) test was performed before and at the end of surgery. According to whether there was DVT formation after operation, the patients were divided into a thrombosis group and a non-thrombosis group. -test and rank sum test were used to compare the general clinical characteristics of the 2 groups, such as age, gender, intraoperative blood loss, -dimer, intraoperative crystal input, colloid input, blood product transfusion, operation duration, length of postoperative hospitalization. The application of chi-square test and rank-sum test were used to compared TEG main test indicators such as R and K values between the 2 groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the possible risk factors for postoperative DVT in neurosurgical patients. RESULTS: There were significant differences in postoperative TEG index R, clotting factor function, intraoperative blood loss, hypertension or not, length of postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative absolute bed time (all <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed hypercoagulability, more intraoperative blood loss and longer postoperative absolute bed time were risk factors for DVT formation after craniotomy. CONCLUSIONS Hypercoagulability in postoperative TEG test of patients is an important risk factor for the formation of postoperative DVT after neurosurgery, which can predict the occurrence of postoperative DVT to some extent.

To analyze the prognostic factors for patients with or without cardiovascular diseases after craniotomy for aneurysm clipping, and to provide evidences for the improvement of perioperative management in these patients.
 Methods: We collected 297 patients who underwent craniotomy for aneurysm clipping in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from May 2016 to February 2017. The patients were divided into two groups: the cardiovascular disease group and the non-cardiovascular disease group. The perioperative clinical data, neurological function assessments at admission and discharge and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores of one-year-follow-up after discharge were analyzed. The primary outcome of this study was the GOS scores collected at one year after discharge. The secondary outcomes were the lengths of their ICU stay, neurological functions at discharge and adverse events morbidity during the hospitalization.
 Results: A total of 241 patients were eventually enrolled. There was no significant difference in their general data between the two groups except for their ages. The GOS scores of the one-year-follow-up were significantly different between the two groups (P=0.007). The lengths of ICU stay, neurological dysfunctions at discharge and adverse events morbidity during hospitalization were also significantly different (P=0.036, P=0.011, P=0.005, respectively). A multivariate logistic regression analysis in which GOS score was the dependent variable with age adjusted also supported the previous results that long-term prognosis was not significantly correlated with the age of patients (P>0.05), but it was correlated with cardiovascular disease and sanity at admission (P=0.001). In patients with cardiovascular diseases, there was significantly different in perioperative mortality and neurological recovery of patients who had or had not cardiovascular events (P=0.006, P=0.001, respectively).
 Conclusion: Undergoing craniotomy for aneurysm clipping, patients with cardiovascular diseases have worse outcomes in both of short and long terms. Perioperative treatments for cardiovascular disease could not only improve postoperative neurological deficits, but also reduce mortality for these patients.
