Objective To apply the method of evidence-based medicine to identify the best therapy option for an emergency patient with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Methods According to time and logical sequence of clinical events, a complete decision tree was built after the following steps to find the best treatment: clear decision-making, drawing decision tree graphics, listing the outcome probability, giving appropriate values to the final outcome, calculating and determining the best strategies. Results The performance of endoscopic therapy for the patient with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage within the first six hours had little effect on the prognosis. Interventional therapy after the failure of endoscopic therapy had less mortality than direct surgical exploration. Conclusion Making clinical decision analyses via drawing the decision tree can help doctors clarify their ideas, get comprehensive views of clinical problems, and ultimately choose the best treatment strategy for patients.
目的：探讨DSA诊断小肠血管畸形的价值。方法：本文分析21例小肠血管畸形患者的临床及DSA特征，其中男性14例，女性7例，所有患者均行肠系膜上、下动脉造影。结果：临床特征：①急性消化道出血为主症状；②常规检查一般为阴性；③血红蛋白含量短期内降至4～6 g/mL。DSA特征：①动静脉瘘；②局部肠壁染色增浓；③局部血管异常增多，结构紊乱。其中12例进行了动脉导丝栓塞，2例栓塞后出血，进行外科手术切除。结论：DSA是诊断血管畸形所致小肠出血的最有效的方法，动脉导丝栓塞是安全，有效的治疗方法，同时为外科手术切除提供的正确部位。
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo summarize the study on the feasibility of celiac axis ligation. Methods Literatures about celiac axis ligation were reviewed retrospectively. ResultsCeliac axis branches included common hepatic artery， splenic artery， left gastric artery which had many variation and collateral flow between celiac and mesenteric vessels by gastroduodenal artery and pancreaticoduodenal artery. Celiac axis could be possibly ligated without obvious complications in patients who had celiac axis injuries, celiac artery aneurysms, upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage, excision of carcinoma around the celiac axis and portal hypertension. However, gallbladder necrosis or perforation, focal infarction of the liver even higher mortality had also been reported. ConclusionCeliac axis ligation should not be performed routinely, but it is surgically possible and may be a life saving approach in certain circumstances.
【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the detection and localization of obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding by using SPECT/CT and intraoperative endoscopy. Methods Twenty-six cases of patients with obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding were analyzed retrospectively. Results The positive detection rate of SPECT/CT was 88.5%. All 26 patients (100%) were identified the bleeding source by using intraoperative endoscopy. No recurrence was found during 1-24 months follow-up. Conclusion SPECT/CT examination should be chosen firstly for patients with obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding in order to localize the bleeding site roughly. Intraoperative endoscopy can localize the bleeding site accurately in patients who undergoes operation.
Objective To perform a systematic review on the safety (i.g. cardiovascular, mortality and gastrointestinal bleeding) of clopidogrel versus clopidogrel combined with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for the patients with coronary heart disease. Methods Such databases as The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, SSCI, VIP, CNKI, and CBM were searched from the date of their establishment to September 2010. The bibliographies of the retrieved articles were also checked. The data was extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently. The RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analyses. Results A total of 29 studies were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that the use of clopidogrel combined with PPIs was associated with increasing the risk of cardiovascular events (RR=1.27, 95%CI 1.09 to 1.47), as well as myocardial infarction (RR=1.45, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.76), total mortality (RR=1.23, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.43), and rethrombosis (RR=1.37, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.86). However, there was no enough evidence to reach the conclusion that the combination use could benefit the situation of gastrointestinal bleeding (RR=0.84, 95%CI 0.47 to 1.50). Conclusion?Compared with clopidogrel, the combination use of clopidogrel and PPIs increases cardiovascular events, mortality, and the risks of myocardial infarction and rethrombosis. However, more clinical studies are required to assess the effect of reducing gastrointestinal bleeding.
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of small dose and low pressure lavage on gastrointestinal hemorrhage induced by acute poisoning. MethodsWe collected the clinical data of all the patients diagnosed as gastrointestinal hemorrhage induced by acute poisoning treated between January 2011 and December 2012. The patients were divided into two groups: control group and treatment group, according to the different treatments they underwent. The control group received traditional treatment only, while the treatment group received small dose and low pressure lavage as well as the traditional treatment. After recording the ages, poisoning dose, pretreatment time, shock and complications, we evaluated the risk of death by calculating ROCKALL scores. ResultsThe differences of ages, sexes, and poisoning dose between these two groups were not significant. However, the death rate in high and middle risk patients of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe small dose and low pressure lavage can improve the prognosis of the gastrointestinal hemorrhage induced by acute intoxication.
目的:比较国产生长抑素与进口生长抑素治疗消化性溃疡出血的经济效果。方法:将120例消化性溃疡伴出血的患者随机分成国产生长抑素及进口生长抑素组,分别给予国产生长抑素、进口生长抑素治疗3天,观察疗效,并进行药物经济学评价。 结果: 国产生长抑素、进口生长抑素治疗上消化道出血成本分别为558元和4116元,有统计学差异(P＜005);有效率分别为925%和968%,无统计学差异 (Pgt;005),成本—效果比分别为60324和425207,有统计学差异(P＜005)。结论: 从药物经济学角度分析,国产生长抑素治疗消化性溃疡出血较进口生长抑素更为经济。
