ObjectiveTo investigate researches on inflammatory pulmonary pseudotumor between 2010 and 2014 year and to provide reference information for the majority of professionals in deep research. MethodsBibliographies from research literature of inflammatory pulmonary pseudotumor between 2010 and 2014 year in PubMed database were downloaded, the publication year, journals, countries of publication, the first authors and the frequency of major topic headings were counted by Bicomb 2.0 software. The affiliations were analyzed artificially. Major topic headings appeared no less than three times were intercepted as high frequency terms and high frequency. Major topic headings co-occurrence matrix were formed. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was applied for clustering analysis with matrix, then to get the topic hotspots. ResultsA total of 62 literatures were screened out. The data of research trend, journals, research degree of different countries were acquired. The number of high frequency major topic headings was 12 and among which 4 research hotspots were clustered. ConclusionResearches on inflammatory pulmonary pseudotumor are mainly in terms of pathology, diagnosis and treatment, etiology, and immunoassay.
The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) has been well accepted by medical providers, which can be realized by a multidisciplinary team approach and minimally invasive surgical technology performed during perioperative periods. As the outcomes of the ERAS protocols, well effects are anticipated, and consistent outcomes are actually obtained. At the same time, there are some aspects which are not consistent including ① the evolution and challenge of ERAS concept:connotation and extension, ② consensus and arguments on the evaluation standard of ERAS protocol, ③ the cause of poorly compliance in medical providers and patient, ④ the function of multimodal programme and multidisciplinary team approach in ERAS protocol, which one is better? ⑤ methods and barriers of implementing enhanced recovery in clinic application.
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and surgical approach on postoperative fast track recovery and hospitalization cost of patients undergoing lung cancer resection, and explore clinical pathways and clinical value of fast track recovery. MethodClinical data of 129 consecutive patients undergoing lung cancer resection by one surgical group in West China Hospital from January 2010 to March 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether the patients had concomitant COPD, all the patients were divided into COPD group including 53 patients (39 males and 14 females) with their average age of 56.31±10.51 years, and non-COPD group including 76 patients (37 males and 39 females) with their average age of 65.92±7.85 years. According to different surgical approaches, all the patients were divided into complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) group including 83 patients (44 males and 39 females) with their average age of 61.62±10.80 years, and routine thoracotomy group including 46 patients (32 males and 14 females) with their average age of 62.95±9.97 years. Postoperative morbidity, average hospital stay and hospitalization cost were compared between respective groups. ResultsThere was no statistical difference in postoperative morbidity (53% vs. 40%, P=0.134)or average hospital stay[(7.66±2.95) days vs. (7.36±2.74)days, P=0.539] between COPD group and non-COPD group. Postoperative morbidity (34% vs. 65%, P < 0.001)and average hospital stay[(6.67±2.52)days vs. (8.61±3.01) days, P < 0.001] of VATS group were significantly lower or shorter than those of routine thoracotomy group. Total hospitalization cost (￥44 542.26±11 447.50 yuan vs. ￥23 634.13±6 014.35 yuan, P < 0.001) and material cost (￥37 352.53±11 807.81 yuan vs. ￥12 763.08±7 124.76 yuan, P < 0.001) of VATS group were significantly higher than those of routine thoracotomy group. Average medication cost of VATS group was significantly lower than that of routine thoracotomy group (￥7 473.54±4 523.70 vs. ￥10 176.71±6 371.12, P < 0.001). There was no statistical difference in other cost between VATS group and routine thoracotomy group. ConclusionVATS lobectomy can promote postoperative fast track recovery of lung cancer patients, but also increase material cost of the surgery. COPD history does not influence postoperative fast track recovery or hospitalization cost.
ObjectiveTo compare clinical results between single and double chest tube applications after lung cancer resection, and explore the role of single chest tube in postoperative fast track recovery. MethodNinety-three patients with lung cancer who underwent lobectomy between March and December of 2009 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were included in this study. All the patients were divided into a single-tube group including 46 patients (39 males and 7 females) with their age of 58.4±9.5 years, and a double-tube group including 47 patients (32 males and 15 females) with their age of 58.2±9.0 years. Drainage amount, duration, postoperative hospital stay, and incidences of pneumothorax and pleural effusion after removal of chest tubes were compared between the 2 groups. ResultsThe percentage of patients undergoing complete video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) of the double-tube group was significantly higher than that of the single-tube group, and the percentage of patients undergoing thoracotomy of the double-tube group was significantly lower than that of the single-tube group (P < 0.05). Drainage amount of the double-tube group was significantly larger than that of the single-tube group (824.4±612.5 ml vs. 510.7±406.7 ml, P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in drainage duration, postoperative hospital stay, the incidences of subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, pleural effusion or re-insertion of chest drain between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). ConclusionClinical results of single chest tube is better than or equivalent to those of double chest tubes after lung cancer resection, and drainage duration of single chest tube application might be shorter.
Objective To investigate the risk factors of postoperative urinary retention of non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy without indwelling urinary catheterization. Methods In this prospective trial, we recruited 148 patients who were scheduled for lung cancer lobectomy under general anesthesia by VATS in Department of Thoracic Surgery in West China Hospital from July through December 2015. These patients were divided into two groups including a trial group and a control group. There was no indwelled urethral catheter in the trial group. And the patients in the control group were indwelled urethral catheter routinely. Postoperative urinary retention, urinary tract infection, the postoperative hospitalization duration and the clinical data were recorded. Results There was no significant difference between the trial group and the control group in postoperative urinary retention (9.46% vs. 6.76%, P=0.087). However, the ratios of the male patients and the patients with history of abdomen operation, and international prostate symptom score (IPSS) of the urinary retention patients (83.33%, 33.33%, 26.55±7.00) were statistically higher than those of the patients without urinary retention (56.62%, 0.00%, 15.31±8.31, P=0.017, P=0.000, P=0.031). Postoperative urinary tract infection rates in the trial group and the patients with urinary retention (4.05%，25%) were statistically higher than those in the control group and the patients without urinary retention (1.35%, 0.74%, P=0.049, P=0.048). Conclusion The risk factors of postoperative urinary retention patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing VATS lobectomy are male patients, history of abdomen operation, and moderate to severe hyperplasia of prostate.
ObjectiveTo determine if comfort level was associated with chest tube size(16F or 28F) among lung cancer patients with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. MethodsWe performed VATS lobectomy for 163 patients with lung cancer in our hospital between February and May 2014. There were 70 males 93 females. The patients were allocated into two groups including a 28F group and a 16F group. There were 75 patients at age of 53.18±14.73 years with insertion of one chest drain of 28F in the 28F group. And there were 88 patients at age of 56.62±12.62 years with insertion of one chest drain of 16F in the 16F group. Heart rate and variation of pulse, breathing rate and variation of breathing rate, pain scores, comfort level, and activities daily living (ADL) of the two groups were compared. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the patient characteristics and operation data between the two groups. There were statistical differences in variation of heart rates on the 1st day, 2nd day, and 3rd day after operation between the 16Fgroup and the 28F group (9.67±3.33 times/min vs.18.54±5.33 times/min, P=0.037; 7.89±2.88 times/min vs. 19.01±4.67 times/min, P=0.045; 7.67±3.01 times/min vs. 20.88±5.34 times/min, P=0.021). The percentage patients of mild pain in the 16F group (77.65%) was higher than that in the 28F group (49.78%, P=0.023) with a statistical difference. The independent ambulation and comfort level in the 16F group(67.05%, 67.05%) were significant higher than those in the 28F group (45.78%,55.11%, P=0.023, P=0.026). ConclusionOur findings suggest that drainage via a small-bore chest tube provides meaningful postoperative comfort level in the patients with VATS lobectomy.
ObjectiveTo observe the outcome of left lung cancer underwent surgical treatment and to analysis the relative risk factors for 4L lymphatic metastasis. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 643 lung cancer patients who had underwent mediastinal lymph node dissection intraoperatively in our hospital between January 2011 and December 2013. There were 430 males and 213 females with a mean age of 60.2±9.6 years(range 22 to 83 years), 260 patients had their 4L lymph node dissected, while other 383 patients did not. ResultsAmong 260 patients with 4L lymph node dissected, 44(16.9%) were found 4L lymph node metastasis pathologically. And the results indicated that station 5 lymph node metastasis(P=0.000, OR=12.108 with 95%CI 4.564 to 32.122), station 7 lymph node metastasis(P=0.000, OR=8.496 with 95%CI 2.594 to 27.827), station 8 lymph node metastasis(P=0.029, OR=24.915 with 95%CI 1.395 to 444.948), station 10 lymph node metastasis(P=0.014, OR=3.983, 95%CI 1.321 to 12.009) were independently associated with high risk for 4L lymph node metastasis. Conclusion4L lymphadenectomy should be performed for left invasive lung cancer regularly, especially for patients with hilar lymph node and other mediastinal lymph node metastasis.
