The trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) is considered to be the best method, and the safety and feasibility of TOLAC have been confirmed by numerous studies, but in clinical practice, there are many factors that make TOLAC unsuccessful. This article reviews the factors that influence the choice of delivery method after cesarean section as follows.展开更多

Through inspection prediction for 1998 Zhangbei M S=6.2 earthquake sequence, it shows that the grey predicting method maybe has active significance for the investigation of quick response prediction problems of stronger aftershocks of an earthquake sequence.展开更多

The subjects were divided into the ERAS program group and the conventional control group. The clinical characteristics, recovery variables, and complications of patients were analyzed.RESULTS: The time to first ambulation, oral food intake, and time to defecation were significantly shorter in the ERAS group(n = 30), compared to the conventional group(n = 31; P = 0.04, 0.003, and 0.01, respectively). The postoperative hospital stay was less in the ERAS group(6.8 ± 1.1 d) compared to the conventional group(7.7 ± 1.1 d)(P = 0.002). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the ERAS(1/30) and conventional care groups(2/31)(P = 1.00). There were no readmissions or mortality during the 30-d follow-up period.CONCLUSION: The ERAS program is associated with a shorter hospital stay in gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. The ERAS protocol is useful in the treatment of gastric cancer.展开更多

Thirteen RCTs, with a total of 1092 participants, were analyzed in this study, of whom 545 underwent ERAS protocols and 547 received SC treatment.RESULTS No significant difference was observed between ERAS and control groups regarding total complications(P = 0.88), mortality(P = 0.50) and reoperation(P = 0.49). The incidence of pulmonary infection was significantly reduced(P = 0.03) following gastrectomy. However, the readmission rate after GC surgery nearly tripled under ERAS(P = 0.009). ERAS protocols significantly decreased the length of postoperative hospital stay(P < 0.00001) and medical costs(P < 0.00001), and accelerated bowel function recovery, as measured by earlier time to the first flatus(P = 0.0004) and the first defecation(P < 0.0001). Moreover, ERAS protocols were associated with a lower level of serum inflammatory response, higher serum albumin, and superior shortterm quality of life(QOL).CONCLUSION Collectively, ERAS results in accelerated convalescence, reduction of surgical stress and medical costs, improved nutritional status, and better QOL for GC patients. However, high-quality multicenter RCTs with large samples and long-term follow-up are needed to more precisely evaluate ERAS in radical gastrectomy.展开更多

Studies selected for the meta-analysis met all of the following inclusion criteria:(1) evaluation of ERAS in comparison to traditional care in adult patients undergoing elective open or laparoscopic liver surgery;(2) outcome measures including complications,recovery of bowel function,and hospital length of stay; and(3) RCTs. The following exclusion criteria were applied:(1) the study was not an RCT;(2) the study did not compare ERAS with traditional care;(3) the study reported on emergency,non-elective or transplantation surgery; and(4) the study consisted of unpublished studies with only the abstract presented at a national or international meeting. The primary outcomes were complications. Secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay and time to first flatus.RESULTS:Five RCTs containing 723 patients were included in the meta-analysis. In 10/723 cases,patients presented with benign diseases,while the remaining 713 cases had liver cancer. Of the five studies,three were published in English and two were published in Chinese. Three hundred and fifty-four patients were in the ERAS group,while 369 patients were in the traditional care group. Compared with traditional care,ERAS programs were associated with significantly decreased overall complications(RR = 0.66; 95%CI:0.49-0.88; P = 0.005),grade?Ⅰ?complications(RR = 0.51; 95%CI:0.33-0.79; P = 0.003),and hospitallength of stay [WMD =-2.77 d,95%CI:-3.87-(-1.66); P < 0.00001]. Similarly,ERAS programs were associated with decreased time to first flatus [WMD =-19.69 h,95%CI:-34.63-(-4.74); P < 0.0001]. There was no statistically significant difference in grade Ⅱ-Ⅴ complications between the two groups.CONCLUSION:ERAS is a safe and effective program in liver surgery. Future studies should define the active elements to optimize postoperative outcomes for liver surgery.展开更多
