Efficacy and safety of stellate ganglion block in chronic ulcerative colitis

AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of stellate ganglion block for the treatment of patients with chronic ulcerative colitis.METHODS A total of 120 randomly selected patients with chronic ulcerative colitis treated in Cangzhou Central Hospital from January 2014 to January 2016 were included in this study. These patients were divided into two groups: control group(n = 30), patients received oral sulfasalazine treatment; experimental group(n = 90), patients received stellate ganglion block treatment. Clinical symptoms and disease activity in these two groups were compared before and after treatment using endoscopy. Blood was collected from patients on day 0, 10, 20 and 30 after treatment. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine interleukin-8(IL-8) level. The changes in IL-8 level post-treatment in the two groups were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance.RESULTS After treatment, clinical symptoms and disease activity were shown to be alleviated by endoscopy in both the control and experimental groups. However, patients in the control group did not have obvious abdominal pain relief. In addition, the degree of pain relief in the experimental group was statistically better than that in the control group(P < 0.05). Ten days after treatment, IL-8 level was found to be significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). In addition, adverse events were significantly higher in the control group than in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ~2 = 33.215, P = 0.000).CONCLUSION The application of stellate ganglion block effectively improves treatment efficacy in chronic ulcerative colitis, relieves clinical symptoms in patients, and reduces the level of inflammatory factors. Furthermore, this approach also had a positive impact on the disease to a certain extent.

Clinical outcome of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for chronic ulcerative colitis in China

Background The incidence of chronic ulcerative colitis （CUC） in China is remarkably increasing, while little information on surgical treatment has been reported. This study aimed to completely describe and analyze the clinical outcome of restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis （IPAA）for CUC in China. Methods Ninety-five consecutive patients, who suffered CUC and had surgical indications, were carefully selected. All patients underwent IPAA. Data on patient characteristics, surgical indications, surgical details, postoperative complications, functional outcome, and quality of life were collected. Results The mean patient age at the time of the operation was 32 years. Twenty-nine （31%） patients underwent an emergency operation, and 66 （69%） underwent elective procedures. Four patients with severe dysplasia underwent operations, but no carcinoma was histologically confirmed. A two-stage operation was performed in 87 （92%） patients, and a hand-sewn technique was applied in 88 （93%） patients. Sixteen patients （17.0%） experienced early complications, and there was a significant difference between the emergency surgery group and the elective group （31.0% vs. 10.6%, respectively; P 〈0.01）. Five （5.3%） patients developed pouchitis as a late complication. The mean stool frequency after the operation was 4.6 （2-11） during the first 24 hours and 1.5 （0-4） overnight. According to the Kirwan grading scale, 87 （91.8%） patients showed satisfactory anal continence function. The quality of life improved significantly from a preoperative mean value of 0.28-0.61 before ileostomy closure to 0.78 after ileostomy closure （P 〈0.01） according to the Cleveland Global Quality of Life index. Conclusions IPAA is an effective and safe surgical procedure for patients with CUC in China. However, some characteristics, such as the low incidence of pouchitis, require further study.

Strategies and challenges in the treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers

Evaluating patients with chronic venous leg ulcers(CVLUs)is essential to find the underlying etiology.The basic tenets in managing CVLUs are to remove the etiological causes,to address systemic and metabolic conditions,to examine the ulcers and artery pulses,and to control wound infection with debridement and eliminating excessive pressure on the wound.The first-line treatments of CVLUs remain wound care,debridement,bed rest with leg elevation,and compression.Evidence to support the efficacy of silver-based dressings in healing CVLUs is unavailable.Hydrogen peroxide is harmful to the growth of granulation tissue in the wound.Surgery options include a high ligation with or without stripping or ablation of the GSVs depending on venous reflux or insufficiency.Yet,not all CVLUs are candidates for surgical treatment because of comorbidities.When standard care of wound for 4 wk failed to heal CVLUs effectively,use of advanced wound care should be considered based on the available evidence.Negative pressure wound therapy facilitates granulation tissue development,thereby helping closure of CVLUs.Autologous split-thickness skin grafting is still the gold standard approach to close huge CVLUs.Hair punch graft appears to have a better result than traditional hairless punch graft for CVLUs.Application of adipose tissue or placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells is a promising therapy for wound healing.Autologous platelet-rich plasma provides an alternative strategy for surgery for safe and natural healing of the ulcer.The confirmative efficacy of current advanced ulcer therapies needs more robust evidence.

Differential diagnosis in ulcerative colitis in an adolescent: Chronic granulomatous disease needs extra attention

Chronic granulomatous disease(CGD) is a primary immune deficiency that is commonly diagnosed under the age of 5 years(95%) and is rarely seen in adulthood. CGD may manifest as inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) in childhood. Without proper diagnosis, these patients may be monitored for years as IBD; some may even be regarded as steroid-resistant ulcerative colitis(UC) and end up having a colectomy. In this case report, we described a patient who had been followedup for years as UC and subsequently underwent colectomy, but was finally diagnosed in adulthood as primary immune deficiency.

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression in Treatment of Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Introduction: The benefit of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) for the prevention of venous thromboembolism and lymphedema has been well established in the literature. Recent evidence suggests that IPC plays a beneficial role in circulation, hemodynamic peripheral pump, intravascular coagulation and arterial skin perfusion. Despite such evidence, the use of IPC in the treatment of resistant and chronic venous leg ulcers, has received little attention in practice. Case Presentation: We would like to report the case of successfully treated chronic and bilateral venous leg ulcer in an obese patient with IPC application and a review of the literature. Results: The use of IPC as an adjuvant therapy to the traditional multilayered compression therapy permitted significant resolution of the ulcers, reduced secondary infection incidence and prevented ulcer recurrence. Conclusion: In obese, minimally mobile patients with venous ulcers not responding to the traditional multilayered compression therapy application of IPC, an adjuvant therapy is recommended.
