ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and necessity of recurrent laryngeal lymph node resection by comparing the complications and prognosis of patients with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury receiving different recurrent laryngeal lymph node resections.MethodsWe reviewed the clinical data of 153 patients with stage T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent radical esophageal cancer surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from June 2014 to May 2016. Among them, 125 were male and 28 were female, at an average age of 62 years. All patients underwent bilateral recurrent laryngeal nodes sampling. They were divided into 3 groups according to the dissection situation: patients with only one recurrent laryngeal lymph node resection on both sides during the operation were treated as a sampling group (n=49); patients with only one recurrent laryngeal lymph node resection on one side and more than one recurrent laryngeal lymph nodes resection on the other side were treated as a unilateral dissection group (n=49); patients with more than one recurrent laryngeal lymph nodes resection on both sides were treated as a bilateral dissection group (n=55). Follow-up was performed to compare the prognostic differences among the three groups. Seven days after the operation, the vocal cords of the patients were examined with an electronic laryngoscope and classified using the Clavien-Dindo system. The differences in complications related to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury among the three groups were compared.ResultsThe 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the patients in the sampling group, unilateral dissection group and bilateral dissection group was 66.8%, 88.5%, 93.8%, respectively. There was statistical difference between the sampling group and the unilateral dissection group or the bilateral dissection group (P<0.05), and no statistical difference between the unilateral dissection group and the bilateral dissection group (P>0.05). The incidence of complications among the three groups was not statistically different (P>0.05).ConclusionFor patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma of stage T1N0M0, the lymph nodes of the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves should be removed during the operation as many as possible, which will help improve the 5-year survival rate of the patients.
Objective To explore the operative safety of HIV-infected patients with colorectal cancer in different degrees of immunodeficiency. Methods A total of 56 patients, including 26 cases of HIV positive (HIV-positive group) and 28 cases of HIV negative (HIV-negative group), who underwent radical operation for colorectal cancer between January 2012 and December 2015, were enrolled in our study. We divided HIV-positive patients into three groups according to CD4+ T cells count in peripheral venous blood before 1 day (D0) of the surgery (HIV-positive Ⅰgroup with CD4+ T cells count >500/μL, HIV-positive Ⅱgroup with CD 4+ T cells count among 200–500/μL, and HIV-positive Ⅲ group with CD4+ T cells count <200/μL). Non-infective patients were enrolled in HIV-negative group. Leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte percentage, CD 4+ T cells subsets count, and CD8+ T cells subsets count of the 4 groups in different time points were tested. In addition, we compared postoperative complications, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and postoperative survival rate between the HIV-positive group and the HIV-negative group. Results In 56 cases, there were 26 cases of HIV-positive patients (including 10 cases of HIV-positive Ⅰ group, 8 cases of HIV-positive Ⅱ group and 10 cases of HIV-positive Ⅲ group). Variance results about repeated measurement data showed that, variation of leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte percentage, and CD8+ T cells count among 4 groups after surgery had no statistical significance (P>0.05), in addition there was no significant on time effect and interactive effect of time and group (P>0.05). CD4+ T cells count in the 4 groups showed a trend from decline to rising with time going, and the time effect had statistical significance (P<0.05). The speed and amplitude of decline and recovery of CD4+ T cells count were different among groups, and the group effect had statistical significance (P<0.05). CEA showed a trend of decline after surgery in both HIV-positive group and HIV-negative group, and the time effect had statistical significance (P<0.05), but the group effect and interactive effect of time and group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). No statistically significant differences in amount of blood loss, duration of surgery, postoperative stay, nor complication rate (including incision infection, pulmonary infection, and opportunistic infections after surgery) were found between the HIV-positive group and the HIV-negative group (P>0.05). The overall survival situation of the HIV-positive group and the HIV-negative group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions Radical operation for HIV-infected patients with colorectal cancer has an impact of " first inhibition and recovery” on cellular immunity over a period of time. Incidence of postoperative complications and survival rates are similar in HIV-positive patients and HIV-negative patients. In a word, it’s safe to have radical operation for colorectal cancer in HIV-positive patients under the proper perioperative treatment.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for postoperative overall and severe complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in the elderly patients with pancreatic cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of the elderly (65 years old or more) patients with pancreatic cancer underwent PD were retrospectively collected, who were admitted to the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2017 to October 2021. The incidences of postoperative overall and severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ–Ⅴ was defined as severe complications) were summarized. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze whether GNRI was a risk factor for overall and severe complications after PD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the ability of GNRI to distinguish whether overall or severe complications occurred after PD and to confirm the optimal threshold. Then the patients were assigned into a high nutritional risk group (greater than the optimal threshold) and low nutritional risk group (the optimal threshold or less) based on this. Simultaneously, the clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared. ResultsIn this study, 190 elderly patients with pancreatic cancer were enrolled, 95(50.0%) of whom developed complications, including 28(29.5%) cases of serious complications. The results of multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that the decreased GNRI was a risk factor for the occurrence of overall and severe complications after PD for the elderly patients [OR(95%CI)=0.361(0.154, 0.848), P=0.019; OR(95%CI)=0.906(0.834, 0.983), P=0.018]. The AUC of GNRI for assessing the occurrence of overall and severe complications was 0.765 and 0.715, respectively, with the optimal critical values of 98 and 96, respectively. Compared with the low nutritional risk group, the high nutritional risk group had higher postoperative total hospitalization costs (Z=–2.37, P=0.019), higher occurrences of overall complications (χ2=44.61, P<0.001) and severe complications (χ2=29.39, P＜0.001). ConclusionsIn elderly patients with pancreatic cancer underwent PD, incidence of serious complications is not lower. GNRI has a good discriminative value in terms of postoperative overall and severe complications. When preoperative GNRI is 98 or less and GNRI is 96 or less, patients should be given early preoperative nutritional support treatment in time.
Abstract： Objective To analyze possible associated risk factors of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) after lung resection in order to decrease the incidence and mortality of PPC. Methods We reviewed the data of 302 patients including 228 males and 74 females undergoing lung resection from January 2007 to December 2009 in our department. The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 91 years old with an average age of 63.38 years. Based on the present definition of PPC, we recorded the related information and data before, during and after the operation, and observed the rate of PPC. The independent risk factors of PPC were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 22 patients (7.28%) died during the operation and 75 patients (24.83%) experienced 110 times of PPC, the majority of which were prolonged air leak/bronchopleural fistula (8.94%, 27/302), nosocomial pneumonia (6.95%, 21/302) and acute respiratory failure (6.29%, 19/302). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that an American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score ≥3 (OR=2.400，P=0.020) and prolonged duration of immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR=1.620，P=0.030) were independent factors associated with the development of PPC.Conclusions The ASA score based on the patients’ general condition and the function status of the main organs, and the prolonged duration of immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation are independent risk factors of PPC. In order to decrease the PPC rate, more attention should be paid to perfecting preoperative preparation, improving the function and condition of the organs, preserving pulmonary function and decreasing the duration of immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation for patients with high risk factors.
Objective To discuss the treatment of retinal detachment(RD) after posterior chamber intraocular lents(PCIOL) implantation. Methods Twenty eyes with RD after PCIOL inplantation which were treated with vitrectomy combined with scleral buckling and intraocular tamponade from March 1993 to June 1997 in this institute were analysed retrospctively. Results The retinas reattached completely in 16 eyes and partly in 2 eyes after RD operation.The postoperative visual acuity improved in 17 eyes,not improved in 2 eyes,and decreasde in 1 eyes.The PCIOL was taken off during RD operative in 6 eyes.Postoperative complications including displacement of the PCIOL in 2 eyes,hyphema and vitreous hemorrhage were found in this series of RD operation in 1 eyes. Conclusion Vitrectomy combined with scleral buckling and intraocular tamponade is one of the effective methods to treat the eyes with RD with PCIOL. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:165-166)
Objective To investigate the pathological spectrum of hypertensive retinopathy. Methods Systemic hypertension was produced experimentally in SD rats by partially constricting the right renal artery and removing the left kidney.The eyes obtained from hypertensive animals at 2 weeks,1,2,4months were examined by means of light microscopy,immunohistochemical staining,electron microscopy and histochemical electron microscopy and compared with the control group. Results 1.From 2 months after surgery,thickening of retinal capillary basement membrane(RBM)became apparent.2.From then on,RBM showed an increased staining reaction for type Ⅳcollagen and laminin,while staining reaction of RBM for fibronectin in hypertensive rats was negative at any stages.The number of anionic sites within the RBM was gradually reduced following the development of hypertension and it was definitely decreased at 4 months. 3.A few deteriorated endothelial cells were lifted focally from the RBM with subendothelial swelling in retinal vessels at 2 weeks,and the pericytes exhibited edema and deterioration at 4 months. Conclusions Detachment of the endothelial cells from the RBM,thickening of the RBM companied with the reduction of anionic sites and deterioration of pericytes may be responsible for hypertensive retinopathy.

Abstract: Esophageal carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumours in China, surgery is one of the traditional therapy with a high complications rate. Among them, the anastomotic fistula was significant. At present, with the development of surgical technique, the incidence of anastomotic fistula become lower day by day, postoperative pulmonary complications of esophageal carcinoma has taken place of anastomotic fistula and become the main complications. The causes of pulmonary complication including pulmonary embolism, infection and acute lung injury have been revealed by recent researches. This article reviews the pathogenesis， prophylaxis and therapeutics of postoperative pulmonary complications of esophageal carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo compare the complications and clinical scores of posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion (PLIF) in middle-aged and older patients of different ages, and to assess the risk of complications of PLIF in different ages, providing a reference for clinical treatment.MethodsThe clinical data of 1 136 patients, who were more than 55 years old and underwent PLIF between June 2013 and June 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. According to the age of patients undergoing surgery, they were divided into 3 groups as 55-64 years old, 65-74 years old, and ≥75 years old. The general characteristics, comorbidities, and surgical data of the three groups were compared, with comparison the morbidity of complications. According to the minimal clinical important difference (MCID), the improvement of patient’s pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) score were compared. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the difference of complications and the improvement of VAS and ODI scores. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed for the risk factors of complications.ResultsThere were significant differences in the number of surgical fusion segments and osteoporosis between groups (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in gender, body mass index, operation time, preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, and comorbidities between groups (P>0.05). All patients were followed up 6-62 months with an average of 27.4 months. Among the results of postoperative complications, there were significant differences in the total incidence of intraoperative complications, systemic complications, minor complications, and the percentage of improvement of ODI score to MCID between groups (P<0.05); but there was no significant difference in the total incidence of complications at the end of long-term follow-up and the percentage of improvement of VAS score to MCID between groups (P>0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting the confounding factors, there were significant differences in intraoperative complications and the percentage of improvement of ODI score to MCID between 55-64 and 65-74 years old groups (P<0.05); systemic complications, minor complications, complications at the end of long-term follow-up, and the percentage of improvement of ODI score to MCID in ≥75 years old group were significantly different from those in the other two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age was a risk factor for systemic complications, minor complications, and complications at the end of long-term follow-up. Except for age, long operation time was a risk factor for intraoperative complications, increased number of fusion segments was a risk factor for systemic complications, the number of comorbidities was a risk factor for minor complications, and osteoporosis was a risk factor for complications at the end of long-term follow-up.ConclusionThe risk of surgical complications is higher in the elderly patients (≥75 years) with lumbar degenerative diseases than in the middle-aged and older patients (<75 years), while the improvements of postoperative VAS and ODI scores were similar. Under the premise of fully assessing surgical indications, PLIF has a positive effect on improving the elderly patients’ quality of life.
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of vitreo-retinal surgery on oclular siderosis. Methods The clinical data of 22 patinets (22 eyes) with ocular siderosis due to the magnetic foreign body at intraocular postsegment were retrospectively analyzed. The patients aged from 6 to 54 years (average 40 years), including 21 males and 1 femal. The duration of the magnetic foreign body remained in the eye lasted for 1 month to 20 years. The preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was ＜0.01 in 15 eyes, 0.01-0.15 in 5 eyes and 0.1-0.2 in 2 eyes. There was Intra-vitreous foreign body in 18 eyes and ocular wall embedded foreign body in 4 eyes; intraocular foreign body (IOFB) combined with cataract in 18 eyes; combined with retinal detachment in 3 eyes; scleral buckling combined with silicon oil filled in 12 eyes and C3F8 filled in 7 eyes. Cataract extraction was performed in 12 eyes, and 2 eyes underwent filtrating surgery. Results The IOFB was successfully removed by one-off surgery in 22 eyes. BCVA increased in 20 eyes (90.9％) and kept unchanged in 2 eyes (9.1%), including＜0.1 in 7 eyes, 0.1-0.4 in 8 eyes, and 0.5-1.0 in 7 eyes. Operative complications involved retinal holes with retinal detachment in 2 eyes and vitreous haemorrhage secondary to enlarge sclera incision in 2 eyes. Postoperative complications included secondary cataract in 4 eyes, retinal detachment due to silicon oil removal 3 months after submacular removal of foreign body in 1 eye, and retinal detachment 7 days after C3F8 filling in 1 eye; the latter two eyes had reattached retina after another silicon oil filling. At the end of the follow-up period, retina reattached in 22 eyes. Conclusion Advanced modern vireoretinal operation is effective on oclular siderosis, which can avoid the release of Fe+ and improve the patientsprime; visual function.
