Objective To study the cl inical features of infantile hemangioma and vascular malformation, to find out a proper strategy of deal ing with them. Methods From March 2000 to August 2007, 2 957 cases of infantile hemangioma and vascular malformation were treated, including 860 operative cases and 2 097 non-operative cases. There were 441 male and419 female patients in operation group, aging 6 months to 18 years (median 5 years). In 1 950 hemangioma patients of nonoperation group, there were 575 male and 1 375 female patients, aging 1 month to 14 years (median 6 months); in 147 vascular malformation patients of non-operation group, there 67 male and 80 female patients, aging 2 years to 17 years (median 7 years). In non-operative group, 147 vascular malformation patients and 1 525 infantile hemangioma patients were followed up without any medical intervention, while other 425 hemangioma patients recceived triamcinolone plus dexamethasone intralesional injection treatment. All the treatments and outcomes were recorded. Results Vascular malformation cases and infantile hemangioma cases presented totally different cl inical features. To the deadl ine of this study, 522 (34%) of 1 525 un-intervented hemangioma cases turned into involuted phase and 383 (90%) of 425 cases receiving triamcinolone plus dexamethasone intralesional injection treatment turned into involuted phase after injection treatment; no regression was noted in 147 cases of vascular malformation. The constituent ratio of infantile hemangioma in 860 operative cases was decreased gradually and the constituent ratio of vascular malformation was increased gradually as the age increasing. Conclusion Infantile hemangioma has a distinct l ife pattern. Except several specific cases need medical intervention for their special location or large ambit and unacceptable growth, most infantile hemangioma need no medical intervention. Most vascular malformations can not regress spontaneously, proper intervention is in need.
Objective To analyze the relation between the mode of delivery and postpartum lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and discuss the therapy methods. Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with postpartum lower extremity DVT from 2006 to 2012 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 15 897 patients with the delivery, of whom were 10 097 cases of cesarean section and 5 800 cases of spontaneous delivery, the incidence rate of lower extremity DVT in the patients with cesarean section was significantly higher than that in the patients with spontaneous delivery〔0.41% (41/10 097) versus 0.12% (7/5 800), χ2=9.94,P<0.005〕. The higher incidence rate of cesarean section, the higher incidence rate of lower extremity DVT, which was a positive correlation between them (rs=0.87,P<0.05). Forty-three cases were only treated by drug therapy, 2 cases were performed operation combined with drug therapy, and 5 cases were placed the inferior vena cava filter. Forty-eight cases were cured and discharged. Conclusions The incidence rate of lower extremity DVT of cesarean section is higher as compared with the spontaneous delivery. The thrombolysis and (or) anticoagulation therapy is an effective way in the treatment for DVT. Controlling indications of cesarean section and early postpartum out-of-bed can decrease the DVT.
