BACKGROUND:Dorsal digital block refers to the commonly used anesthesia for adults in smal or moderate hand injury surgeries, but in recent years, modified transthecal digital block technique is gradualy respected, which is favored with a rapid and good effect and fewer complications.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical anesthetic outcomes of modified transthecal digital block and traditional dorsal digital block technique for the treatment of hand injury of adults in emergency by a prospective randomized controled study.
METHODS:Totaly 60 adult patients with hand injury were enroled and divided into two groups of modified transthecal digital block and traditional dorsal digital block randomly. Blocks were performed by one single surgeon. The operation time, local anesthetic dose, onset time of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia, success rate of anesthesia, visual analogue scale scores and complications were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The anesthesia effects in the two groups were acceptable. There was no significant difference in the onset time of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia, success rate of anesthesia and complications between the two groups (P > 0.05). The operation time of anesthesia, local anesthetic dose, and visual analogue scale scores were significantly different between the two groups (P< 0.05). Modified transthecal digital block is more convenient and has less pain than the traditional root digital block, which is a safe and reliable anesthetic technique.

Objective To explore the relationship between folic acid levels of cord blood and birth weight, hyaline membrane disease in newborns. Methods Eighty-seven newborns were divided into premature infant group(42 cases) and term infant group(45 cases),intrauterine growth retardation group( 28cases) and control group (59 cases), hyaline membrane disease of premature infant group ( 13 cases) and premature infant control group(15 cases) according to the gestational age, birth weight, clinical manifestation and chest X-ray, respectively. Folic acid levels of cord blood were measured. Results The folic acid level of cord blood in premature infant group was lower than that in term infant group [(10.87 ±4.31) nmol/L vs.( 13.56 ± 5.07) nmol/L,P <0.05 ]. The folic acid level of cord blood in intrauterine growth retardation group was lower than that in control group [(11.01±4.29)nmol/L vs.( 14.87 ± 5.14)nmol/L,P<0.05]. The folic acid level of cord blood in hyaline membrane disease of premature infant group was lower than that in premature infant control group [(9.15 ±4.02) nmol/L vs.(12.91±4.51) nmol/L,P<0.05]. The positively correlation was found between the folic acid level of cord blood and birth weight in newborns (r =0.1825).Conclusion The folic acid level of cord blood is correlated with the occurrence of premature infants,intrauterine growth retardation and hyaline membrane disease in newborns.

To compare the effect of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic pedicle ligation with nylon rope or metal clip followed by electrical resection on postoperative hemorrhage for thick colorectal pedicle polyps, clinical data of patients undergoing endoscopic polypectomy in Jiangsu Province Hospital (The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University) from January 2018 to November 2022 were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into ESD group and pre-ligation group according to different treatment methods. Postoperative bleeding data of the two groups were compared and analyzed. A total of 265 patients were included, including 124 in ESD group and 141 in pre-ligation group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, polyp sites, polyp diameter or pedicle diameter between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative bleeding rate in the ESD group was significantly lower than that in the pre-ligation group [4.0% (5/124) VS 10.6% (15/141), χ2=4.126, P=0.042]. Compared with ESD group, more bleeding occurred in the left colon in the pre-ligation group, with statistically significant difference [40.0% (2/5) VS 93.3% (14/15), P=0.032]. The hospital stay was longer in the ESD group than that in the pre-ligation group (4.6±1.9 days VS 3.4±1.5 days, t=5.641, P<0.001). ESD is more effective than pre-ligation in reducing postoperative hemorrhage for coarse pedicle colorectal polyps, especially for those on distal colon.
