Background:Ideal bowel preparation is the prerequisite for the successful diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy.The retention of intestinal bubbles can seriously affect the clarity of the intestinal mucosa and subsequently decrease the detection rate of colonoscopy.Aims:To investigate the application value of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage in bowel preparation for colonoscopy.Methods:This study was a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.Patients who underwent colonoscopy from October 2020 to October 2023 at Hainan West Central Hospital were enrolled and randomly allocated into the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group and the control group.3 L polyethylene glycol(PEG)+dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage and 3 L PEG+placebo were given for bowel preparation,respectively.The quality of bowel preparation was evaluated by Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS)score and bubble score.Furthermore,a questionnaire was conducted.The cecal intubation time,withdrawal time,adenoma detection rate and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 482 patients who underwent colonoscopy were included.No significant differences in clinical characteristics such as gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and main reasons for colonoscopy were found between the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group and the control group(all P>0.05).Compared with the control group,no significant differences existed in total BBPS score and segment scores for right,transverse,and left colon in the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group(all P>0.05),but the total bubble score and segment scores for right,transverse,and left colon were significantly decreased(all P<0.001).The withdrawal time in the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group was significantly decreased compared to the control group(P<0.001),and the adenoma detection rate was significantly increased(P=0.001).However,no significant differences in cecal intubation time and incidence of adverse reaction were found between the two groups(all P>0.05).Conclusions:Administration of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage during bowel preparation for colonoscopy can reduce the formation of intestinal bubbles,shorten the withdrawal time and increase the adenoma detection rate.

Objective:To investigate the reparative efficacy and mechanism of pressure-adjustable macroporous antibacterial hydrogel in the treatment of infected wounds.Methods:Staphylococcus aureus was used to establish wound infection models in healthy C57BL/6 mice. The models were divided into 3 groups subjected to 3 different treatments: a negative control group with no hydrogel treatment (group A), a control group treated by common medical hydrogel (group B) and an experiment group treated by pressure-adjustable macroporous antibacterial hydrogel (group C). On days 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, the effects of 3 treatments were compared on the wound area and the number of bacterial colonies under scab, on the apoptosis of fibroblasts based on the changes of type Ⅰ procollagen, and on the inhibition of inflammation during wound repair by detecting the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α).Results:On days 1 and 3, there was no significant difference between the 3 groups in the wound area ( P>0.05), but on days 6, 9 and 12, there were significant differences between the 3 groups in the wound area ( P<0.05). On day 6, the wound areas in group B (1.23 cm 2 ± 0.16 cm 2) and in group C (1.14 cm 2 ± 0.12 cm 2) were significantly smaller than that in group A (1.56 cm 2 ± 0.16 cm 2) ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between groups B and C ( P>0.05). On days 9 and 12, the wound areas in group B (0.97 cm 2 ± 0.13 cm 2 and 0.76 cm 2 ± 0.10 cm 2) and in group C (0.66 cm 2 ± 0.06 cm 2 and 0.48 cm 2 ± 0.07 cm 2) were significantly smaller than those in group A (1.49 cm 2 ± 0.11 cm 2 and 1.39 cm 2 ± 0.13 cm 2), and those in group C were significantly smaller than those in group B (all P<0.05). On day 1, there was no significant difference between the 3 groups in the number of bacterial colonies under scab ( P>0.05). On days 3, 6, 9 and 12, the numbers of bacterial colonies under scab in groups B and C were significantly smaller than that in group A ( P<0.05), and that in group C was significantly smaller than that in group B ( P< 0.05). The nucleic acid electrophoresis showed that the grayscale bands in group C were significantly darker than those in groups A and B. The early apoptosis rate of the fibroblasts in group C[low-right positive fluorescence (LR%): 9.72%] was significantly lower than that in group A (43.99%) and that in group B (38.43%), and that in group B was significantly lower than that in group A ( P<0.05). On day 12, the ratio of the gray values of IL-6 and β-actin (0.64 ± 0.10) and the ratio of the gray values of TNF-α and β-actin (0.34 ± 0.05) in the fibroblasts in group C were significantly higher than those in group A (1.22 ± 0.21 and 0.60 ± 0.14) and in group B (0.88 ± 0.02 and 0.41 ± 0.06) ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The pressure-adjustable macroporous antibacterial hydrogel is an effective treatment of infected wounds and its mechanism may be related to the reduced apoptosis of fibroblasts.

ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical value of ultrasonically activated scalpel(UAS) in breast cancer patients who underwent 2-3 cycles of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy by comparing UAS and electric knives (EI) in modified radical mastectomy. MethodsFrom Jun.2009 to Aug.2011, 52 breast cancer patients taking 2-3 cycles of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy underwent modified radical mastectomy in our hospital. Among them, UAS group included 23 patients, and EI group included 29 patients.The 2 groups were compared in terms of the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage tube duration, postoperative hospital stay, the number of lymph nodes retrieved, and the volume of subcutaneous hydrops.ResultsBetween the 2 groups, the difference of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage tube duration had statistical significance(P ＜0.01 ).The difference of operation time, hospital stay, and subcutaneous hydrops had statistical significance ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The difference of the number of lymph nodes retrieved had no statistical significance ( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionThere are good curative effects for breast cancer patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy by UAS and axillary lymph node dissection after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, which is consistent with the conception of fast track surgery.
