Objective To develop a novel methylene blue staining technique to localize small esophageal leiomyomas (<1.5 cm) and evaluate its feasibility. Methods Between January 2013 and October 2016, 9 patients with small esophageal leiomyomas (<1.5 cm) underwent thoracoscopic enucleation in Tongji Hospital. There were 5 males and 4 females with an average age of 51 years. We preoperatively injected 0.5–1.0 ml methylene blue in the submucosa adjacent to the tumors under the guidance of gastroscope. Then, we transferred the patients to the operating room. Results Staining was successful in 9 patients. The unstained tumor was exposed after the blue-stained mediastinal pleura and overlying muscle were incised longitudinally during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery via one utility port. No abnormalities were detected in the esophageal mucosa. No major complications, such as esophageal leakage or esophageal diverticulum occurred. Conclusion Endoscopic methylene blue staining is safe and feasible for localizing small esophageal leiomyomas during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery via one utility port. This method will enable enucleation precise and easy.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of roxadustat in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis and analyze the factors affecting drug compliance. MethodsPatients with renal anemia undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2020 to March 2021 were selected. All patients took roxadustat orally. According to the medication compliance, the patients were divided into good compliance group and poor compliance group. The general information questionnaire and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) were used to investigate and analyze the included patients, and their clinical examination indexes were collected. ResultsA total of 100 patients were included, Including 39 cases (39%) in the good compliance group and 61 cases (61%) in the poor compliance group. The average score of medication compliance of roxadustat was 5.19±1.72. Logistic regression analysis showed that drug cognition [odds ratio (OR)=0.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.027, 0.365), P=0.001], medication troubles/complex protocol [OR=5.330, 95%CI (1.567, 18.132), P=0.007], and adverse drug reactions [OR=5.453, 95%CI (1.619, 18.368), P=0.006] were factors affecting patient compliance. Hemoglobin in the good compliance group was lower than that in the poor compliance group (Z=?2.259, P=0.024); there was no significant difference in other clinical examination indexes (P>0.05). ConclusionsThe overall compliance of oral roxadustat in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients is poor, and the corresponding follow-up management system should be improved. Nurses should provide comprehensive and systematic medication guidance to patients, encourage them to fully understand the clinical manifestations, treatment schemes and prognosis of renal anemia, clarify the time, dose, possible adverse reactions and mitigation methods of roxadustat, etc., and help them to treat the disease with correct cognition and attitude, so as to improve their drug compliance.
【摘要】 目的 研究改良Paine點側腦室額角穿刺的解剖基礎及臨床應用。 方法 利用MRI模型的構建，模擬改良Paine點穿刺側腦室額角。測量穿刺距離、角度及其對Broca語言功能區和尾狀核的影響。改良Paine點（Pm點）比Paine點高1 cm，更加遠離Broca語言功能區，穿刺時需要與軸面夾角20°向下，可以越過尾狀核頭從側腦室額角上壁進入腦室；與矢狀面夾角約70°向下、冠狀面夾角約20°向后穿刺。從皮層計算進針4.0~5.5 cm可進入側腦室額角。 結果 同期7例顱內動脈瘤患者術中應用Pm點穿刺成功，術后無語言功能障礙，復查頭顱CT無穿刺道及尾狀核頭出血現象。 結論 Pm點法定位方法簡便準確，能避免Broca語言功能區和尾狀核頭部的損傷，有一定臨床應用推廣價值。【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the anatomic characteristics and clinical application of modified Paine entry point (Pm) for lateral ventricular puncture through pterional approach. Methods We simulated the modified Paine entry point for lateral ventricular frontal horn puncture by reconstructing the model of MRI. Distance and angles of the puncture path were measured to evaluate the influence upon the language areas of Broca and the head of the caudate nucleus. The Pm point is 1 cm higher than the Paine point, so it is more far away from the Broca area. The direction of the puncture path should be 20° downward with the axial plane, 70° downward with the sagittal plane and 20° backward with the coronal plane. The catheter was inserted into the ventricle 4.0 to 5.5 cm deep to the cortex. Results Seven patients with intracranial aneurysms underwent ventricular puncture successfully through the Pm point in operation. None of them suffered language dysfunction or hemorrhage lesions in the caudate nucleus by the computed tomography. Conclusion The modified Paine entry point can be located accurately and has the clinical value for preventing damage of the Broca area and the caudate nucleus.
