Factors influencing vaginal cuff dehiscence after laparoscopic hysterectomy and the psychological state of the patients

BACKGROUND Despite laparoscopic total hysterectomy provided more benefits to patients and has become one of the most commonly used surgical methods for total hysterectomy.However,vaginal cuff dehiscence is a serious complication after laparoscopic total hysterectomy and so far,there are limited studies on vaginal cuff dehiscence after a total hysterectomy.AIM To investigate the factors influencing vaginal cuff dehiscence after laparoscopic hysterectomy and the psychological state of the patients.METHODS This study retrospectively,univariately,and multivariately analyzed the clinical data of patients who experienced vaginal cuff dehiscence after laparoscopic hysterectomy in Yuyao People’s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2021.Logistic regression was utilized to analyze the high-risk factors of vaginal cuff dehiscence.RESULTS Among 1459 cases with laparoscopic hysterectomy,9 reported vaginal cuff dehiscence postoperatively,with an incidence of 0.617%.Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative hemoglobin value[odds ratio(OR)=5.12,P=0.016],vaginal cuff suture method(OR=0.26,P=0.048),and postoperative first sexual lifetime(OR=15.86,P=0.002)were associated with vaginal cuff dehiscence following laparoscopic hysterectomy.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative hemoglobin value of<90 g/L(OR=5.17,P=0.015)and time interval between postoperative first sexual life and operation of<3 months(OR=54.00,P=0.004)are independent risk factors for vaginal cuff dehiscence after laparoscopic hysterectomy.CONCLUSION Postoperative hemoglobin and the time interval between postoperative first sexual life and operation were the independent factors of developing vaginal cuff dehiscence after laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Degradable magnesium alloy suture promotes fibrocartilaginous interface regeneration in a rat rotator cuff transosseous repair model

Despite transosseous rotator cuff tear repair using sutures is widely accepted for tendon-bone fixation,the fibrocartilaginous enthesis regeneration is still hardly achieved with the traditional sutures.In the present work,degradable magnesium(Mg)alloy wire was applied to suture supraspinatus tendon in a rat acute rotator cuff tear model with Vicryl Plus 4±0 absorbable suture as control.The shoulder joint humerus-supraspinatus tendon complex specimens were retrieved at 4,8,and 12 weeks after operation.The Mg alloy suture groups showed better biomechanical properties in terms of ultimate load to failure.Gross observation showed that hyperplastic response of the scar tissue at the tendon-bone interface is progressively alleviated over time in the both Mg alloy suture and Vicryl suture groups.In the histological analysis,for Mg alloy suture groups,chondrocytes appear to proliferate at 4 weeks postoperatively,and the tendon-bone interface showed an orderly structural transition zone at 8 weeks postoperatively.The collagenous fiber tended to be aligned and the tendon-bone interlocking structures apparently formed,where transitional structure from unmineralized fibrocartilage to mineralized fibrocartilage was closer to the native fibrocartilaginous enthesis.In vivo degradation of the magnesium alloy wire was completed within 12 weeks.The results indicated that Mg alloy wire was promising as degradable suture with the potential to promotes fibrocartilaginous interface regeneration in rotator cuff repair.

Application of multidisciplinary team-based integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in rotator cuff injury patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a common surgical treatment for rotator cuff injuries(RCIs).Although this procedure has certain clinical advantages,it requires rehabilitation management interventions to ensure therapeutic efficacy.AIM To investigate the effect of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine(TCM-WM)under the multidisciplinary team(MDT)model on the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for RCIs.METHODS This study enrolled 100 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for RCIs at the Seventh People’s Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2021 and May 2024.They were divided into a control group(n=48)that received routine rehabilitation treatment and an experimental group(n=52)that received TCM-WM under the MDT model(e.g.,acupuncture,TCM traumatology and orthopedics,and rehabilitation).The results of the Constant–Murley Shoulder Score(CMS),Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI),muscular strength evaluation,and shoulder range of motion(ROM)assessments were analyzed.RESULTS After treatment,the experimental group showed significantly higher CMS scores in terms of pain,functional activity,shoulder joint mobility,and muscular strength than the baseline and those of the control group.The experimental group also exhibited significantly lower VAS and SPADI scores than the baseline and those of the control group.In addition,the experimental group showed significantly enhanced muscular strength(forward flexor and external and internal rotator muscles)and shoulder ROM(forward flexion,abduction,and lateral abduction)after treatment compared with the control group.CONCLUSION TCM-WM under the MDT model improved shoulder joint function,relieved postoperative pain,promoted postoperative functional recovery,and facilitated the recovery of muscular strength and shoulder ROM in patients with RCIs who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Effect of sphygmomanometer cuff pressure on the differentiation of veins from arteries on ultrasound imaging:an observational cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND:Ultrasound guidance is commonly used for accessing difficult peripheral veins.For successful access,a tourniquet is required for venodilation.Tourniquets decrease the compressibility and increase the diameter of veins;they also obfuscate artery-vein differentiation on ultrasound.We aimed to establish the upper limit of sphygmomanometer cuff pressure that facilitates artery-vein differentiation during ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous access.METHODS:We employed the sphygmomanometer cuff as a tourniquet for venodilation and tested it on seven participants at six different levels as follows:0 mmHg,DBP/2,DBP,(DBP+SBP)/2,SBP,and SBP+20 mmHg.We used an ultrasound probe attached to a pressure-measuring instrument to record cross-sectional images of the cubital artery and vein.During ultrasonography,compression was applied to the blood vessels through the skin.The following day,we measured the wrist pulse pressure and observed the oximeter pulse wave at six different tourniquet pressure levels.Repeated-measures analysis of variance(ANOVA)on ranks and Tukey’s post-hoc analysis were used for multiple comparisons.RESULTS:Arterial pulsation was maintained at tourniquet pressures between 0 mmHg and(DBP+SBP)/2.However,arterial pulsation decreased or disappeared when the tourniquet pressure reached or exceeded the SBP.Moreover,at this pressure level,the superior compressibility of veins compared to that of arteries was no longer observed.Compression of the artery to 75% and 50% of its original diameter increased arterial pulsation.CONCLUSION:Arterial pulsation and the superior compressibility are useful indicators for differentiating veins from arteries until the tourniquet pressure reaches(DBP+SBP)/2.However,these indicators are not reliable once the tourniquet pressure exceeds the SBP.

Effect of electroacupuncture combined with rehabilitation techniques on shoulder function in patients with rotator cuff injuries

BACKGROUND The rotator cuff is located below the acromion and deltoid muscles and comprises multiple tendons that wrap around the humeral head,maintaining shoulder joint stability.AIM To explore the effect of electroacupuncture combined with rehabilitation techniques on shoulder function in patients with rotator cuff injuries.METHODS We selected 97 patients with rotator cuff injuries treated in the People's Hospital of Yuhuan from February 2020 to May 2023.Patients were grouped using the envelope method.RESULTS After treatment,the study group’s treatment effective rate was 94.90%(46/49 patients),significantly higher than that in the control group(79.17%,38/48 cases;P<0.05).Before treatment,there was no difference in Constant Murley Score(CMS)scores,shoulder mobility,or 36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)scale scores(P>0.05).Compared with those before treatment,the CMS scores(including pain,daily living ability,shoulder mobility,and muscle strength),all aspects of shoulder mobility(forward flexion,posterior extension,external rotation,internal rotation),and SF-36 scale scores(including physiological,psychological,emotional,physical,vitality,and health status)were higher in both groups after treatment and significantly higher in the study group(P<0.05).There was no difference in the occurrence of complications between the two treatment groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Electroacupuncture combined with rehabilitation techniques has a good treatment effect on patients with rotator cuff injuries,helps accelerate the recovery of shoulder function,improves the quality of life,and is highly safe.

Assessing clinical and patient reported outcomes of Sironix suture anchors in rotator cuff and Bankart repair surgeries

BACKGROUND Rotator cuff tears and Bankart lesions significantly affect shoulder function and quality of life.Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and Bankart repair has become the standard treatment for restoring function and reducing pain.Recent advancements include new suture anchor technologies,such as the Sironix suture anchor known for its biomechanical strength and promising outcomes.However,there are limited real-world data on its effectiveness and safety,particularly in the Indian population.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Sironix suture anchors in rotator cuff and Bankart repair surgeries.METHODS Sixty participants underwent surgery between January 2021 and December 2022,and demographic data and postoperative outcomes were collected through retrospective reviews and telephonic interviews.Validated scales,including the PENN Shoulder Score(PSS),Disabilities of the Arm,Shoulder,and Hand(DASH)score,and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation(SANE),were utilized for assessment.RESULTS Treatment with Sironix suture anchor devices,including Ceptre Knotted UHMWPE Suture Titanium Anchor,Spyke Knotted UHMWPE Suture Peek Anchor,Stativ Knotted UHMWPE Suture Anchor,and Viplok Knotless Peek Screw Anchor with Titanium Tip,revealed no repair failures.Participants demonstrated high satisfaction and functional improvement,as evidenced by the mean Quick DASH score(32.01)and PSS(71.65)and the satisfactory SANE scores for both injured joints(74.33)and non-injured(83.67)shoulder joints.CONCLUSION The study yielded favorable outcomes for rotator cuff tear repair and Bankart repair.No repair failures were observed,supporting the safety and efficacy of these devices in shoulder injury management.

目的探讨多层螺旋CT上腔静脉三维成像技术在Cuff导管植入术后评估导管功能障碍中的应用价值。方法回顾性分析2019年5月至2021年8月海军第九七一医院因慢性肾衰竭行双腔带Cuff导管留置术,且术后出现导管功能障碍并接受CT上腔静脉三维成像(上腔静脉CTV)的20例患者的临床资料。上述患者中进行颈部血管彩超者13例、数字减影血管造影(DSA)检查者7例。将上腔静脉CTV结果、彩超结果、DSA检查结果进行比较分析。结果20例接受CT上腔静脉三维成像检查者中,CT图像清晰显示导管植入不同血管的位置,明确显示了导管尖端所在位置。呈现Cuff导管的情况分别为:周围血栓致功能障碍15例,导管滑脱2例,植管后皮下隧道疼痛2例,无明显症状1例。行颈部彩超检查的13例中,仅有1例显示头臂静脉上段血栓形成,5例显示颈部静脉管腔扩张或内径略小或仅有细小血流通过,余7例未显示。行DSA检查7例,均用于分析长期血液透析导管血流量减低及造瘘后肿胀手的原因、DSA引导下重新植管及长期血液透析导管纤维鞘去除术等诊疗应用。结论改良的上腔静脉CT三维成像技术空间分辨率高、可重复性强,能立体直观地显示血液透析患者Cuff导管植入血管位置、尖端所在位置、血管通路是否有血栓形成等情况。颈部血管彩超仅作为粗略评价之用;DSA为有创检查,更倾向用于临床治疗。上腔静脉CTV在敏感性、特异性及检查范围上都有较大优势,是评估Cuff导管植入术后导管功能障碍原因中优先选择的检查方法。

Ultrasound of the Rotator Cuff in Non-Fractured Shoulder Trauma: 30 Cases at the Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)

Introduction: Ultrasound is the imaging technique of choice for the study of rotator cuff lesions. However, in the case of shoulder trauma, it is rarely requested in our context. This study aimed to show ultrasound lesions of the rotator cuff in cases of non-fracture shoulder trauma at the CHUYO in Ouagadougou. Methodology: This was a prospective descriptive cross-sectional study running from August 1 to November 30, 2017, in the medical imaging department of CHUYO. The study population consisted of patients received in the department for ultrasound in the context of non-fracture shoulder trauma. Results: We collected 20 cases (66.67%) of rotator cuff lesions out of 30 non-fracture shoulder injuries. The mean age of the patients was 27.6 years. Road traffic accidents accounted for 60% of injuries, sports accidents for 30%, and domestic accidents for 10%. Ultrasound lesions were mainly tendon ruptures (36.67%) and tendinitis (23.33%). Ruptures were non-transfixing in 90.90% of cases. The supraspinatus was the most affected (81.81%). Conclusion: Ultrasound can help diagnose rotator cuff injuries, particularly in non-fractured shoulder trauma.

Pressure changes in tapered and cylindrical shaped cuff after extension of head and neck:A randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND The proper cuff pressure of endotracheal tube(ET)plays an important role in sealing the airway and preventing airway complications during mechanical ventilation.The ET cuff shape affects the cuff pressure after positional change.AIM To investigate cuff pressure between tapered and cylindrical cuff after extension of head and neck during nasal endotracheal intubation.METHODS In a randomized clinical trial,52 patients were randomized to one of two groups:cylindrical cuff or Tapered cuff.Cuff pressure with 22 cmH_(2)O was applied to patients in the neutral position.After extension of head and neck,the cuff pressure was evaluated again and readjusted to 22 cmH_(2)O.In addition,the extent of cephalad migration of ET tip was assessed and postoperative airway complications such as sore throat,and hoarseness were measured.RESULTS The cuff pressure was higher in the tapered cuff(28.7±1.0 cmH_(2)O)than in the cylindrical cuff(25.5±0.8 cmH_(2)O)after head and neck extension(P<0.001).The extent of cephalad migration of tube tip was greater in TaperGuard ET(18.4±2.2 mm)than in conventional ET(15.1±1.2 mm)(P<0.001).The incidence of postoperative airway complications was comparable between two groups.CONCLUSION After head and neck extension,the cuff pressure and the extent of cephalad migration of ET was greater in tapered cuff than in cylindrical cuff during nasal intubation,respectively.

目的观察采用不同浓度肝素液进行带cuff的深静脉留置导管封管对规律血液透析患者凝血功能、出血倾向、导管血栓形成等的影响,探讨合理的封管浓度。方法将60例带cuff的深静脉留置导管作为维持性血液透析血管通路的患者随机分为3组(n=20)。A组:纯肝素钠封管(6 250 U/mL);B组:中浓度肝素钠(4 088 U/mL)和生理盐水溶液;C组:低浓度肝素钠(3 125 U/mL)和生理盐水溶液。测定封管后24、h凝血指标,监测出血倾向、通路血栓形成、感染等情况。结果 A组在封管后2 h及4 h时凝血酶原时间(PT)、活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)、国际标准化比值(INR)等凝血功能指标均较基础值显著延长(P<0.01)。B组患者封管2 h后仅PT、APTT显著超过基础值(P<0.05),且在4h后恢复至基础水平(P>0.05)。C组患者封管后PT、APTT和INR与基础值比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。观察期1个月,C组患者出血事件发生率显著低于A、B组(P<0.05),3组间血栓发生率、感染率、导管拔出率均无显著差异。结论低浓度肝素钠溶液进行带cuff的深静脉留置导管封管不良反应较少,可用于大多数患者。有高凝倾向的患者更适合采用中浓度肝素液。

Clinical Decision Making in Open vs Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Evidence for Preoperative Decision Making

Objective: To further understand what factors should be considered when deciding to do mini-open versus arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: A systematic literature search on the computer was done with the help of the PubMed database. Of the articles searched through, three have been chosen to specifically address topics of interest concerning the factors affecting arthroscopic vs mini-open RCR surgical approaches. Discussion: As we continue to progress down the line of factors impacting a clinician’s decision making, we begin to see how postoperative management is unchanged. Tear severity lacks sufficient evidence to base a decision on, but financial, educational, and logistical factors are proven to play a significant role in this decision. Conclusion: As of right now it seems that mini-open RCR is the most cost and time efficient method, especially amongst non-fellowship trained surgeons or ones with lower volume of shoulder scopes. However, further studies should be done to examine cost and efficiency in Sport Medicine fellowship trained orthopedic surgeons to validate these findings.

带Cuff中心静脉导管在维持性血液透析患者中的应用价值

血管通路是透析患者的“生命线”,对血液透析患者至关重要。自体动静脉内瘘有血栓形成率低、感染率低等优点,是目前血管通路建立的首选方案 [1] 。随着人口老龄化和糖尿病、高血压的发病率升高,老年肾脏病、糖尿病性肾病、高血压性肾病患者逐年增加,其中越来越多的患者因自身血管条件差而无法行自体动静脉造瘘手术,或因心功能不全而无法耐受内瘘,需要尝试其他的血管通路。

血流量大小对带cuff中心静脉导管血液透析患者透析充分性的影响
