Objective To study the safety,feasibility and efficacy of thoracoscopic hepatectomy for liver carcinoma. Methods Thoracoscopic hepatectomy was performed in 3 cases with single liver neoplasm from 2007 to 2011,including hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) in one case and metastatic liver cancer in 2 cases.By preoperative imaging the tumor was located accurately to simulate the port position in operation.Patients were placed in a left lateral decubitus position,and 3 ports were inserted into the chest wall surrounding the tumor. Through the use of intra-operative thoracoscopic uhrasonography (IOTU),the diaphragm just above the tumor was opened.IOTU was performed on the liver surface and the resection line was marked.Throughout the course of parenchymal transection,IOTU was performed repeatedly to guide the resection line,and ensure the complete removal of the tumor.After meticulous hemostasis of the resection surface,the diaphragm was closed. A thoracic drain was left. Results Thoracoscopic hepatectomy succeeded in all 3 cases,the median total operating time was 150 min (110 -210 min),and the medianblood loss was 297 ml (130 -600 ml). Patients recovered quickly and had no major post-operative complications.During 9 to 42 months' follow-up,one patients died of other cause,no relapse of the diseases was found. Conclusions Thoracoscopic hepatectomy is a safe and feasible operation in selected patients and has advantages in post-operative morbidity and in hospital time.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of sequential acupuncture in treating post-stroke dysphagia. Methods One hundred and ten patients with post-stroke dysphagia were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 55 cases each. The control group received routine medication and the treatment group, “cortex-pharynx-tongue root” sequential acupuncture in addition. The pre-/post-treatment difference in the Kubota’s water drinking test score was observed in the two groups and the clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups after 14 days of treatment.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the Kubota’s water drinking test score in the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment differences in the Kubota’s water drinking test score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate was 89.1% in the treatment group and 67.3% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Sequential acupuncture is an effective way to treat post-stroke dysphagia.
3.Clinical observation of preemptive analgesia with pentazocine for perioperative pain management in partial splenectomy
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2024;31(4):533-537
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of preemptive analgesia with pentazocine on perioperative pain management in partial splenectomy.Methods:A total of 100 patients with traumatic splenic rupture who underwent partial splenectomy at Yiwu Central Hospital between October 2019 and November 2021 were randomly assigned to either the control group or the study group, with 50 patients in each group using the random number table method. Both groups received patient-controlled analgesia postoperatively. Additionally, the study group received intravenous pentazocine administration before surgery. The amount of anesthetic used during surgery, postoperative anesthesia recovery indices, postoperative pain response, serum inflammatory factor levels, and the number of effective patient-controlled analgesia pump presses within 48 hours postoperatively were recorded and evaluated. Any adverse drug reactions were also monitored.Results:The dosages of propofol [(462.24 ± 27.13) mg] and remifentanil [(365.98 ± 26.78) μg] in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(511.82 ± 26.32) mg, (406.86 ± 26.08) μg, t = 14.49, 12.63, both P < 0.001). The recovery time of spontaneous breathing [(6.86 ± 0.97) minutes], anesthesia recovery time [(13.24 ± 0.82) minutes] and extubation time [(17.14 ± 1.07) minutes] were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(7.62 ± 0.90) minutes, (14.32 ± 0.84) minutes, (18.22 ± 1.06) minutes, t = 5.80, 8.58, 6.93, all P < 0.001]. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 24 and 48 hours after surgery, both in resting and coughing state ( t = 7.82, 9.31, 4.95, 8.47, all P < 0.001). The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group ( t = 21.53, 25.61, 18.45, 16.90, 17.33, 14.86, all P < 0.001), while the serum level of interleukin-10 was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group ( t = -20.85, -19.61, both P < 0.001). The number of effective patient-controlled pump analgesia presses within 48 hours postoperatively in the study group [(6.24 ± 1.17) times] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(10.26 ± 1.34) times, t = 12.95, P < 0.05). In addition, the overall incidence of adverse drug reactions in the study group [4.00% (2/50)] was significantly lower than that in the control group [18.00% (9/50), χ2 = 5.01, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Preemptive analgesia with pentazocine for patients undergoing partial splenectomy can effectively reduce the dosage of anesthetics during surgery and the dosage of analgesics after surgery, enhance the recovery from postoperative anesthesia, suppress postoperative inflammatory reactions, alleviate pain responses, and minimize the risk of adverse drug reactions.
