ObjectiveTo evaluate the application of multi-slice CT (MSCT) perfusion scan technique in predicting renal function recovery after unilateral hydronephrosis treatment.MethodsThirtyeight patients with unilateral obstructive hydronephrosis not shown on intravenous urography (IVU) and a normal contralateral kidney were recruited for this study.Patients were divided into detected (D) and undetected (UD) groups depending on whether the IVU detected urinary tract obstruction.All patients underwent plain abdominal X-ray,gray-scale ultrasonography,excretory urography and MSCT perfusion scan before and after the treatment.Patients were followed-up at six months or more after the treatment for a mean duration of 12.5 months (range from 6 to 22 ).ResultsOf the 38 cases,22 cases were in group D,16 cases were in group UD.On MSCT,renal cortex blood flow (BF) and blood volume ( BV ) value after treatment in group D were 561.1 ± 165.4 ml/( 100 g · min) and 35.9 ± 11.3 ml/100 g compared with before treatment rates of 361.6 ±109.7 ml/(100g· min) and24.1 ±10.2 ml/100g,t=-3.38,-2.34,P＜0.01,0.05.In the UD group,the differences of these parameters were after treatment 38.7 ± 15.4 ml/(100 g · min),10.306 ± 4.925 ml/100 g and before treatment 39.1 ± 22.5 ml/( 100 g · min) and 8.7 ± 4.4 ml/100 g,P ＞ 0.05.In the aspects of BF and BV,there were statistically significant differences between group D and group U D both before and after the treatment,t=9.09,4.15,P ＜ 0.01.ConclusionsM SCT perfusion can provide a valuable prediction technique of the renal function recovery in patients with unilateral obstructive hydronephrosis.Improvement of renal function can be expected after relief of obstructive hydronephrosis if the patients have a BF 361.6 ml/( 100 g · min) and BV 24.1 ml/100 g or greater measured by MSCT perfusion.

Objective:To investigate the application value of fixation mesh with suture anchor in the repair of parailiac hernia.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 5 patients with parailiac hernia who were admitted to Shaoxing People′s Hospital from March 2016 to February 2019 were collected. There were 4 males and 1 female, aged from 23 to 67 years, with a median age of 49 years. Patients underwent repair of parailiac hernia, in which mesh with suture anchor was fixed on the outside of the defect to the inner side of the ilium. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative conditions; (2) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination or telephone interview was conducted at postoperative 1 week, at postoperative 2 weeks, at postoperative 1, 3, 6 months, at postoperative 1 and 2 years, respectively. The follow-up was up to July 2019. During the follow-up, the conditions about drainage tube removal, incision infection, hernia recurrence, and chronic pain were observed. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative conditions: 5 patients underwent surgeries successfully, without blood transfusion. The volume of intraoperative blood loss was 100 mL(range, 20-300 mL). The operation time and duration of drainage tube placement were (129±13)minutes and (13.8±1.9)days. Patients were discharged from hospital, without postoperative complications during the hospital stay. The duration of hospital stay was 13 days(range, 8-19 days). (2) Follow-up: patients were followed up for 4-39 months, with a median follow-up time of 16 months. One of the 5 patients was removed drainage tube during the hospital stay and other 4 patients were removed at the outpatient after discharge from the hospital. One patient felt numbness in the surgical site at postoperative 1 month without aggravation during the follow-up, and received no specific treatment. Four patients completed computed tomography examination at postoperative 6 months, without hernia recurrence. There was no incision infection or chronic pain.Conclusions:It is safe and effective to use fixation mesh with suture anchor in the repair of parailiac hernia.

The hospital introduced a multi-department synergy in management of the rational use of carbapenems. Specifically,the medical affairs department conducts training and appraisal of doctors along with a monthly checkup of medical records. The pharmaceutical affairs division conducts prior prescriptions checkup and follow-up comment. The clinical microbiology laboratory and the hospital-acquired infection management department monitors and releases such infection and bacterial resistance information of the whole hospital in real time. The results showed increased prescriptions of imipenem and cilastatin sodium, and decreased prescriptions of biapenem for injection. Drug resistance analysis showed that carbapenem resistant strains increased by 28%,but the total number of patients reduced by 10% and total number of patients with multidrug resistance remained unchanged. It is proposed to further antimicrobial stewardship in the hospital to achieve rational drug use and curb bacterial resistance.
