目的:本文观察了三只做了泪道激光手术的狗泪小管组织,目的是为了解激光术后是否泪道会遗留瘢痕或狭窄。方法:三只成年狗用激光分别点击了泪小点,泪小管,泪囊。30天内取材。结果:泪道上皮及管道未见损害。结论:泪道YAG激光只要掌握能量和点击次数,术后不会遗留瘢痕。
目的:为了进一步了解YAG激光在临床对泪道病的治疗情况,预后的观察随访的结果,我们对所做的患者进行分析、总结。材料和方法:我院4月中做了96例泪道激光成形术,本文从临床,随访等方面,通过写信,电话,回诊等进行随访、总结。结果:86例中单一部位的堵塞占67%,术后随访58%通畅。结论:泪道YAG激光对泪小管、泪总管堵塞治疗有一定疗效,能解决部分病人的流泪问题。
Objective To make an individualized administration scheme via evidence-based medicine methods, namely adding heparin into the total nutrient admixture (TNA) solution, so as to help a neonate to prevent the occlusion of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Methods After carefully assessing the condition of neonate, this clinical issue was put forward in accordance with the PICO principles. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews on neonates’ PICC occlusion were collected from The Cochrane Library, CCTR, DARE, NGC, MEDLINE (Ovid) and CBM from inception to 2011. The clinical intervention scheme was finally made after the assessment of the retrieved evidence and neonate’s physiological condition. Results A total of 4 RCTs and 1 systematic review related to the issues were identified. The following scheme was finally made for the neonate through the assessment of the retrieved evidence and combination of intentions of the patient’s family members: heparin (0.5 U/mL) was added into TNA to prevent PICC occlusion. During the application, blood routine test and blood coagulation were monitored, and the catheter opening time and extubation reason were recorded. Through the above treatment, the neonate successfully completed the treatment before extubation. The time of both PICC detaining and opening was 20 days in total, and there were no PICC occlusion, no catheter thrombosis, and no catheter related bloodstream infection. Moreover, no observation showed thrombopenia and aggravated coagulation disorders resulted from heparin. Conclusion The evidence-based medicine method is an effective way to make reasonable heparin scheme for neonate, so as to prevent PICC occlusion, reduce catheter thrombosis, decrease risks of catheter related blood circulation infection, assure successful completion of treatment, and guarantee the safety of patients.
In order to solve the problem of the micro flow cell clogging, and to improve the reliability of the flow cytometry system, a new method was proposed for hydrodynamic self-cleaning system. By analyzing the flow cell focus principle, we considered that to obtain stable single cell flow, the stable pressure in the flow chamber must be ensured. Therefore, we established a diagnosis method of clogging by the pressure detecting, and designed a self-cleaning system. Then we built up corresponding experimental systems. Experiments and testing showed that the self-cleaning system could improve the flow and resolve the clogging problem.
This case was a 78-year-old woman characterized exertional dyspnea and diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis. Preoperative evaluation revealed that the patient had a very high surgical risk, so transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was proposed. But this patient was at high risk of coronary obstruction. After weighing advantages and disadvantages, the heart team decided to choose TAVR under the protection of guide wire and balloon at last. Left coronary ostia obstruction happened after self-expanding valve released during TAVR. Then, emergency “chimney” stent implantation was performed. Finally, TAVR and coronary revascularization was successfully completed. The patient’s condition was improved after TAVR and being good in follow-up. Based on this case, risk factors of coronary obstruction during TAVR and effectiveness and safety of “chimney” stent technique was discussed.
This article presented the clinical diagnosis and management of a patient with severe aortic regurgitation and moderate aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement complicated with coronary obstruction and retroperitoneal hematoma. The hemodynamics collapsed during the procedure, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement was performed under support of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and coronary protection. After a negative coronary angiography, the wire was extracted, but a repeated angiography showed left coronary obstruction, so a coronary stent was implanted to the ostium of left coronary artery through the grid of the valve stent. Abdominal CT showed a giant retroperitoneal hematoma 2 weeks after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and the emergent angiography indicated contrast leakage from left external iliac artery, so a balloon compression was performed followed by a covered stent implantation. This article also provided the clinical characteristics, risk factors and management of coronary obstruction and vascular complication for clinical reference.
An 84-year-old severe aortic stenosis patient admitted with acute heart failure was reported. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was proposed. The patient was at high risk of the left coronary artery occlusion in preoperative and intraoperative evaluation. Coronary artery protection was performed by pre-embedded coronary artery guide wire and stent during the TAVR. The left coronary artery was partially blocked by valve leaflet after 23 mm self-expanding aortic valve was released. Coronary revascularization was not performed as the coronary blood flow was not affected. However, the patient suffered acute myocardial infarction with hypotension on the third day after TAVR. Emergency angiography showed that left coronary artery was more blocked than before and the condition improved after left main coronary stent implantation. This case suggested that aggressive coronary revascularization should be considered for high risk of coronary artery obstruction during TAVR, especially for partial obstruction of coronary artery.
