ADVERSE EVENTS AFTER PROSTATECTOMY IN VICTORIAN PUBLIC HOSPITALS

Background : A retrospective analysis of data from the Victorian Inpatient Minimum Database (VIMD) was conducted to analyse trends in prostatectomy rates in Victorian public acute-care hospitals from 1989/90 to 1994/95. The study also sought to identify predictors of adverse events (AE) after prostatectomy, and to compare in-hospital complications between open prostatectomy and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Methods : All patients who had undergone any prostatectomy were identified according to the relevant ICD-9-CM procedure codes (60.2–60.4) documented in the VIMD. The main outcome measures, AE, were identified using the ICD-9-CM supplementary classification of external cause of injury (E850–858, E870–876, E878–879, E930–949). The variables used as predictors were year of prostatectomy, type of admission (planned, emergency), location of the hospital (rural, metropolitan), type of procedure (TURP, open), and teaching status of the hospital. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) were based on univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results : The rates of prostatectomies have significantly increased over the 6-year study period (P for trend < 0.0001). The percentage of AE after prostatectomy increased simultaneously from 6.1 to 12.9% (P < 0.0001). During the same period, the in-hospital mortality rate after prostatectomy decreased from 1.2 to 0.5%, and length of stay decreased from 10.3 to 6.1 days (Kruskal–Wallis P < 0.0001). The significant predictors of outcome were year of prostatectomy (P for trend < 0.0001), emergency admissions (OR = 1.57; P < 0.0001), metropolitan hospitals (OR = 0.81; P= 0.0003), non-teaching hospitals (OR = 0.78; P < 0.0001), and open prostatectomy (OR = 1.52; P= 0.04). More in-hospital complications were associated with open prostatectomy than with TURP. Conclusions : The rise in AE rate after prostatectomy is unlikely to reflect poor quality of care, because in the same period there was a significant decrease in in-hospital mortality after prostatectomy. A more likely explanation is heightened awareness of AE with a lower threshold for reporting such events. Important factors other than variations in quality of care can result in an increase in AE. Hence the reported increase should be interpreted with caution before attempting to conclude that changes in clinical practice could have a direct impact on these rates.     

髋关节结核临床治疗的观察（附120例报告）

自１９５８年～１９９６年我院治疗髋关节结核１２０例，随访７４例，平均随访期１４６年，其优良率８１１％。从治疗结果看，为保持关节功能对髋关节结核以早期彻底清除病灶为主，对少数儿童、年老体弱及有手术禁忌症者可采取非手术治疗。对陈旧性结核经病灶清除而留有髋关节畸形者，可作关节成形术，髋关节功能恢复虽不满意，但结核未复发

小径微孔聚氨酯人工血管的顺应性

由激光测微器、压力传感器、A／D卡、微电脑和循环回路等组成的装置测定了小径人工血管的径向顺应性，由微注射器、压力传感器等组成的装置测定了体积顺应性，轴向顺应性由体积顺应性和径向顺应性计算出。体积顺应性，径向顺应性和轴向顺应性都随血管材料弹性的增大、盐／胶比的增加（孔隙率）和浸渍层数（血管壁厚度）的减小而增大。PU血管的外周模量与径向模量分别由径向顺应性。轴向顺应性计算，外周模量与径向模量之比值接近1，即两模量大小与变形方向无关。外周模量与径向模量随血管材料弹性和盐／胶比增加而变小。但管壁厚度对其的影响不大。通过合理选择更具弹性的PU材料（Chro佳，PCU1500次之），最佳盐／胶比例（6：1）以及控制浸渍层数（4～6层），可以制备出顺应性接近天然血管的小径人工血管。

目的探讨瑞芬太尼和舒芬太尼对行腹腔镜直肠癌根治术的老年患者围术期f血流动力学的影响。方法选取2019年9月一2020年6月在北部战区总医院行直肠病根治术的老年患者40例,随机分为I组和II组.各20例。I组给予七氟烷联合瑞芬太尼麻醉,II组给予七氟烷联合舒芬太尼麻醉。观察比较两组围术期各时间点脑电双频指数.血压、心率,以及麻醉恢复期情况。结果两组气腹后血压和心率均升高,I组气腹后5minf血压高于II组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。拔除气管导管后5 min两组血压和心率均较术前升高,而且I组血压和心率均较II组高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组不同时间点脑电双频指数值差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。I组自主呼吸恢复时间与拔管时间均较I组长,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组气腹前后呼气末二氧化碳分压差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论瑞芬太尼和舒芬太尼均能满足行腹腔镜直肠癌根治术老年患者的麻醉要求,而且舒芬太尼对患者围术期血流动力学的影响较小,更有利于老年患者术中麻醉的维持与术后恢复。     

根治性膀胱癌切除术后感染切口愈合的危险因素

目的探究根治性膀胱癌切除术后感染切口愈合的危险因素及与单核淋巴细胞因子的关系。方法回顾性选取2015年1月-2018年12月于南阳市中心医院泌尿外科接受根治性膀胱癌切除术治疗的患者作为研究对象,共200例,根据术后切口是否发生感染分为感染组(n=100)和未感染组(n=100),其中感染组根据切口愈合时间分为早期愈合组(n=65)和延迟愈合组(n=35)。对影响根治性膀胱癌切除术后感染切口愈合的因素进行单因素和多因素Logistic回归分析;比较感染组和未感染组血清单核淋巴细胞水平。结果延迟愈合组患者术中出血量高于早期愈合组,白蛋白含量低于早期愈合组,手术时间长于早期愈合组,尿瘘、肠瘘次数均高于早期愈合组(均P<0.05)。经Logistic回归分析,白蛋白、术中出血量、手术时间、尿瘘、肠瘘是影响患者感染切口愈合的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。切口感染组血清肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)、白细胞介素-8(IL-8)、IL-4、IL-6水平高于未感染组(均P<0.05),而IL-2水平低于未感染组(P<0.05)。结论白蛋白、术中出血量、手术时间、尿瘘、肠瘘是影响患者感染切口愈合的独立危险因素,在临床上应采取有针对性的预防控制措施,避免影响术后切口的愈合。同时,对单核淋巴细胞因子的检测有助于防治术后切口感染的发生。     

Ductal Prostate Cancers Demonstrate Poor Outcomes with Conventional Therapies

BackgroundDuctal prostate adenocarcinoma (DAC) is a rare, aggressive, histologic variant of prostate cancer that is treated with conventional therapies, similar to high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma (PAC).ObjectiveTo assess the outcomes of men undergoing definitive therapy for DAC or high-risk PAC and to explore the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in improving the outcomes of DAC.Design, setting, and participantsA single-center retrospective review of all patients with cT1–4/N0–1 DAC from 2005 to 2018 was performed. Those undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (RTx) for DAC were compared with cohorts of high-risk PAC patients.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisMetastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models.Results and limitationsA total of 228 men with DAC were identified; 163 underwent RP, 34 underwent RTx, and 31 had neoadjuvant therapy prior to RP. In this study, 163 DAC patients and 155 PAC patients undergoing RP were compared. Similarly, 34 DAC patients and 74 PAC patients undergoing RTx were compared. DAC patients undergoing RP or RTx had worse 5-yr MFS (75% vs 95% and 62% vs 93%, respectively, p < 0.001) and 5-yr OS (88% vs 97% and 82% vs 100%, respectively, p < 0.05) compared with PAC patients. In the 76 men who received adjuvant/salvage ADT after RP, DAC also had worse MFS and OS than PAC (p < 0.01). A genomic analysis revealed that 10/11 (91%) DACs treated with ADT had intrinsic upregulation of androgen-resistant pathways. Further, none of the DAC patients (0/15) who received only neoadjuvant ADT prior to RP had any pathologic downgrading. The retrospective nature was a limitation.ConclusionsMen undergoing RP or RTx for DAC had worse outcomes than PAC patients, regardless of the treatment modality. Upregulation of several intrinsic resistance pathways in DAC rendered ADT less effective. Further evaluation of the underlying biology of DAC with clinical trials is needed.Patient summaryThis study demonstrated worse outcomes among patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate than among high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma patients, regardless of the treatment modality.
