Objective: To investigate the incidence rate of parastomal hernia(PH) among patients who have received laparoscope radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion and to discover the risk factors for PH. Methods: Data of 162 patients who underwent surgery of laparoscope radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion for bladder cancer between Jan 2012 and Dec 2017 were studied. The patients who had suffered other tumors before surgery or without follow-up data were excluded. At last, 148 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the occurrence of PH, the patients were divided into two groups: PH group and non-PH group. There were 21 patients (12 males and 9 females) in PH group. The mean age was (66.5±8.6) years old, and mean body mass index (BMI) was (33.4±5.2) kg/m². 11 patients with synchronous disease and 10 patients without synchronous disease before operation in PH group. Postoperative T stage 3 in 17 cases, ≥T₃ in 4 cases. 4 Cases received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 5 cases received adjuvant chemotherapy. Tumor recurrence was found in 6 cases. 16 cases had hypoproteinemia. Ileal conduit was made through abdominal incision in 9 cases, and 12 cases was made with laparoscopy. After the surgery, there was severe cough in 7 cases and abdominal distension in 7 cases. 3 cases had previous abdominal operation, and 5 cases had history of glucocorticoid use. The mean size of the stoma was (3.0±0.6) cm. The mean length of the outflow tract was (11.2 ±1.3) cm. We did trans-rectus stoma in 4 cases, and para-rectus stoma in 17 cases. There were 127 patients (82 males and 45 females) in non-PH group. The mean age was (71.4 ±7.4) years, and the mean BMI was (28.8±4.1)kg/m². 60 patients with synchronous disease and 67 patients without. Postoperative T stage 3 in 96 cases, ≥T₃ in 31 cases. 29 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 39 cases received adjuvant chemotherapy. Tumor recurrence was found in 38 cases. 66 cases had hypoproteinemia. Ileal conduit was made through abdominal incision in 55 cases, under laparoscopy in 72 cases. There was severe cough in 34 cases and abdominal distension in 38 cases. 21 cases had previous abdominal operation, and 35 cases had history of glucocorticoid use. The mean size of the stoma was (2.3±0.4) cm. The mean length of the outflow tract was (12.2±1.6) cm. 4 cases had trans-rectus stoma, and 17 cases had para-rectus stoma. Postoperative rate of PH was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier methods. Chi-square test were used for the univariate analysis between group of PH and the normal one. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to judge the independent risk factors of PH. Results: Patients were followed up for 24 months. PH occurred in 21 cases, the 1, 2, 5 year cumulative incidence of PH was 9.9%, 5.4% and 16.7% respectively. Clinical characteristics, including age at surgery(χ²=4.018, P=0.045), obesity(χ²=3.949, P=0.047), perioperative hypoproteinemia(χ²=4.279, P=0.039), chronic constipation(χ²=5.416, P=0.020), stoma location(χ²=6.464, P=0.011), stoma size(χ²=3.915, P=0.048), were significantly different between the PH group and the normal group(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis shows that obesity(OR=1.326, 95%CI=1.102-1.548, P=0.043), stoma location(OR=0.892, 95%CI=0.854-0.931, P=0.028), stoma size(OR=1.365, 95%CI=1.089-1.631, P=0.028) were the independent risk factors for PH. Conclusion We demonstrated that most of PH usually develop in 2 years after undergoing radical cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion. Obesity, stoma location and stoma size are independent risk factors. Preoperative counseling and preventative measures regarding PH formation should be emphasized, particularly in those patients with risk factors.

AIM: To observe the safety and efficacy of the 25G anterior vitrectomy surgical technique via scleral flap in phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy for glaucoma and cataract with extremely shallow anterior chamber.

METHODS: This retrospective case review consisted of 18 eyes of 18 patients(8 males and 10 females), of those, 11 eyes had acute angle-closure glaucoma with angle-closure greater than 180 degree, and 7 eyes had lens subluxation combined with glaucoma. All 18 patients underwent phacoemulsification, intraocular lens(IOL)implantation, trabeculectomy, and anterior vitrectomy via the scleral flap in cases where conservative management techniques cannot control intraocular pressure(IOP). The main outcomes were best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), anterior chamber depth(ACD), IOP, slit-lamp microscopic examination, number of medications, fundus examination, and complications.

RESULTS: The average axial length(AL)was 21.5±0.6 mm. Mean age was 62.3±7.9 years. Mean ACD increased significantly from 0.78±0.43 mm to 2.89±0.41 mm 1wk after surgery(P<0.001). Mean IOP decreased significantly from 43.28±9.38 mmHg to 16.72±6.28 mmHg(P<0.001). No serious complications, such as endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, suprachoroidal hemorrhage, corneal decompensation, and malignant glaucoma were observed.

CONCLUSION: 25G anterior vitrectomy via scleral flap is a safe and effective technique for glaucoma and cataract with extremely shallow anterior chamber.

BACKGROUND: Migraine is a common neurological condition that frequently presents to the emergency department (ED). Many medications are available to treat migraine. This study aims to characterize the demographics of patients who present to a large metropolitan ED with migraine, and to identify the medications used in treating this condition. METHODS: This study is a retrospective database interrogation of clinical records, used to collect quantitative data on patient demographics and medication prescriptions in the ED. RESULTS: A total of 2228 patients were identified as being treated for migraine over a 10-year period. The proportion of the ED population presenting with migraine steadily increased in this time. Females (71％) more commonly presented to the ED with migraine than males. The migraine population was significantly younger (M=37.05, SD=13.23) than the whole ED population (M=46.17 SD=20.50) (P<0.001). A variety of medications were used in the treatment of migraine in the ED. Simple analgesics such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, anti-emetics and intravenous (IV) fluids with phenothiazine additives were commonly used. Over 20％ of patients were prescribed oral or parenteral opiates (42 of 194 initial medication prescriptions, and 64 of 292 as required medication prescriptions). Triptans were very rarely used. CONCLUSION: Migraine is an increasingly common presentation to the ED. People presenting to the ED with migraine are more likely to be younger and female than the general ED population. Peak presentations for migraines occurred in January and February. The medications that are prescribed in the ED for migraine is varied and are not always in line with current evidence for the treatment of migraine. The excessive reliance on opiates and lack of the use of triptans denotes a significant variation from published guidelines.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of nutritional supplementation awareness in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing concurrent radiochemotherapy and perform an importance matrix analysis. Methods A total of 216 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing concurrent radiochemotherapy were selected as the study subjects. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess patients' awareness of nutritional supplementation during radiochemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and general patient information was collected. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of nutritional supplementation awareness in patients undergoing radiochemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and an importance matrix analysis was performed for each factor. Results At 2 months of radiochemotherapy, the hemoglobin and prealbumin levels of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were lower than those before and 2 months after radiochemotherapy, while the nutrition status score and malnutrition incidence were higher than those before and 2 months after radiochemotherapy (P < 0.01). The questionnaire assessment showed that the total score of nutritional supplementation awareness among patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma was (37.44±6.10). Age, rural residence, avoidance coping, tumor stage, social support, education level and psychological resilience were the influencing factors of nutritional supplementation awareness in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (P < 0.05). Importance matrix analysis showed that avoidance coping, psychological resilience and social support were more important and had lower difficulty in improvement, were included the priority improvement area. Age, rural residence, tumor stage and education level had more difficulty in improvement, and were included in the suboptimal improvement area. Conclusion The influencing factors of nutritional supplementation awareness in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma include rural residence, age, avoidance coping, education level, psychological resilience, tumor stage and social support. Clinical work should target these factors to improve patients′ nutritional cognition and behavior.

Objective::To observe the clinical efficacy of Dahuang Zhuyu decoction for oral administration and enema on severe acute pancreatitis with syndromes of blood stasis and toxin and its effect on serum inflammatory factors. Method::Sixty eight patients with severe acute pancreatitis with syndromes of blood stasis and toxin who were admitted in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from September 2017 to December 2018 were randomly divided into treatment group (34 cases) and control group (34 cases). The control group was treated with western medicine. The treatment group was treated with Dahuang Zhuyu decoction for oral administattion and enema in addition to the therapy of the control group. Both groups were treated for 7 days. Before and after treatment, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea and vomiting were scored separately, serum amylase (AMS), lipase (LPS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected, and abdominal pain disappearance time, bloating disappearance time and exhaust recovery time were recorded. Result::After treatment, the abdominal pain score, abdominal distension score, nausea and vomiting score, serum AMS, LPS, IL-6 and TNF-α were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in treatment group was lower than those in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, IL-10 level in both groups was higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and that in treatment group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The disappearance time of abdominal pain, the disappearance time of abdominal distension and the recovery time of exhaust were shorter in treatment group than in control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion::Dahuang Zhuyu decoction for oral administration and enema for severe acute pancreatitis with syndromes of blood stasis and toxin can alleviate clinical symptoms, reduce amylase and lipase levels, inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, promote the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, restore intestinal function, and improve clinical efficacy.
