PATIENTS: Data from 68 of 88 patients who had a continent ileostomy performed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital between 1967 and 1974 were analyzed. Median age at follow-up was 60 (range, 40-89) years and median follow-up was 31 (range, 29-36) years. METHODS: Patients were sent a questionnaire on pouch function along with the Short Form-36 Health Survey 2.0. A random age-matched and gender-matched sample was drawn from the Swedish national Short Form-36 Health Survey norm database to compare with the patient group. RESULTS: The majority of the patients reported good physical condition and satisfactory pouch function. Patients evacuated the pouch a median of four times every 24 hours. Twelve patients (18 percent) had leakages. Forty-four patients (65 percent) had had at least one postoperative revision to restore continence. Generally minor peristomal skin irritation occurred in seven patients (10 percent). Patients with concurrent complaints (mostly age related) reported poorer health-related quality of life. Nevertheless, 78 percent of the patients rated their overall health as good, very good, or excellent. The patients’Short Form-36 Health Survey scores were comparable to reference values. CONCLUSIONS:Although revisional operations may be needed to restore continence, continent ileostomy has a good durability. Pouch function was satisfactory and patients’satisfaction was high. Health-related quality of life levels were similar to those of the general population.展开更多

文摘目的观察复方雷公藤外敷剂缓解类风湿关节炎(rheumatoid arthritis,RA)关节疼痛的有效性和安全性。方法采用多中心随机双盲对照试验设计,将174例疾病中度活动的RA患者随机分为外敷剂组(治疗组)和安慰剂组(对照组),每组87例,肿痛关节部位涂抹外用药物,每次20g,每日1次,共8周。以患者报告的关节疼痛缓解做为主要疗效指标,并于治疗前、治疗4周及治疗后评价疼痛视觉模拟量表评分(visual analogue scale for pain,VAS)、28个关节数疾病活动度评分(disease activity score of 28joints,DAS28)、患者健康总体评价,治疗前后检测ESR及hs-CRP。治疗中观察女性月经变化情况,并采用皮肤刺激性强度评价标准对记录试验过程中出现的皮肤刺激进行评价。采用意向性分析进行统计分析。结果治疗组患者关节疼痛缓解率[79例(90.8%)]高于对照组[60例(69.0%),P=0.001]。与本组治疗前比较,两组治疗4周及治疗后疼痛VAS、DAS28评分、总体VAS均改善,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);治疗组治疗后ESR及hs-CRP水平下降,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05,P<0.01)。两组治疗后疼痛VAS、DAS28评分、患者健康总体评价、ESR及hs-CRP比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗组共发生8例不良事件,其中5例皮肤过敏、1例不能忍受药物气味、2例轻度肝损伤;对照组共发生3例不良事件,其中2例皮肤过敏,1例轻度肝损伤。两组不良事件发生率差异无计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗组未见女性患者报道月经变化。结论复方雷公藤外敷剂外敷是一种有效、安全的缓解RA关节疼痛的治疗方法,可作为缓解RA关节疼痛的辅助方法。
