ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the management of pseudomyxoma peritonei originated in the appendix.Methods The clinical data of 51 patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei originated in the appendix who were admitted to the Beijing Hospital from 1970 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of operation,reoperation,adjuvant treatment and follow-up were analyzed.The time from pseudomyxoma peritonei recurrence to the reoperation between patients who did or did not receive chemotherapy was compared by two tailed t test.Results Of the 51 patients,48 received operation,and the operation time was (135 ± 72 )minutes.Tumor recurrence was observed in 34 patients,and 16 of them received cytoreduction procedure,and 33 cytoreduction procedures were performed in total.The median time of follow-up was 49.7 months (range,3-132 months).The disease-specific survival was observed in 25 patients and disease-free survival in 16 patients.Four patients died of tumor recurrence or progression.The results of postoperative pathological examination confirmed that 19 patients were with benign disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM),26 were with malignant peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) and 6 were with intermediate subtype (PMCA-1).The 3-,5- and 10-year survival rates were 75％ (38/51),55％ (28/51) and 22％ ( 11/51 ),respectively.The survival time and reoperation time interval for patients who received postoperative chemotherapy were ( 21 ± 4) months and ( 10 ± 6 ) months,which were longer than (19 ±7 )months and (7 ±4)months of those who did not receive postoperative chemotherapy (t =1.027,0.361,P ＞ 0.05).The median survival time of patients with benign DPAM,PMCA-1 and malignant PMCA were 96,63,23 months,respectively.The tumor recurrence interval for patients with benign DPAM and those with malignant PMCA were ( 15 ± 5 ) months and (7 ± 4) months,with significant difference ( t =2.193,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions An active cytoreduction surgery is feasible for patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei originated in the appendix in improving survival.Repeated cytoreduction is a treatment of strategy to prolong the recurrence time and improve the prognosis of selected patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution on serum glucose, pancreas islet function and inflammatory response in elderly patients after abdominal operation.Methods It was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded and controlled trial. Totally 40 elderly patients after abdominal operation who met the defined criteria were enrolled. The subjects in study group were administered with 1000 ml carbohydrate-electrolyte solution intravenously in consecutive three days since 1st or 2nd postoperative day. Control group was administered with 1000 ml of 10% glucose on the same method. The changes of serum glucose, insulin, C-peptide and inflammatory response cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α, CRP) were detected before and after injection.Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was observed.Results All the 40 patients completed the study according to the study protocol. The incremental rate of serum glucose was significantly lower in study group than in control group on the 2nd and 3rd day after administration [(4.40±2.58) mmol/L vs. (14.97±3.44) mmol/L, t=2.984, P=0.008; (2.70± 1.55) mmol/L vs. (8.11± 2.60) mmol/L, t= 5.659, P= 0.000]. The changes of insulin and C-peptide of two group were similar before and after operation. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower in study group than in control group on the 3rd day after administration[IL-6: (21.76±10.40) ng/Lvs. (50.17±35.24) ng/L, t=-2.447, P=0.034; TNF-α:(23.92±14.89) ng/L vs. (51.48±42.81) ng/L, t=-2.268, P=0.043]. In study group, 6 cases experienced SIRS and 4 cases had infective complications, but in control group the numbers were 8 and 6 respectively.Conclusions Appropriate application of carbohydrate-electrolyte solution intravenously has relatively mild effects on serum glucose and inflammatory response cytokine in elderly patients after abdominal operation, it decreases incidence of SIRS and maybe decrease infective complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the causes and preventive measures of hepatic failure during perioperative period of liver resection for primary hepatic carcinoma in the elderly patients, and to explore its diagnosis and treatment. Methods The 62 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy were analyzed retrospectively, and they were divided into two groups: elderly group (age≥60 years) and non-elderly group (age＜60 years). The influencing factors for damage of hepatic function were analyzed using single variant and multivariate stepwise regression analysis in elderly and non-elderly group, pringle maneuver and non-pringle maneuver group, more (≥500 ml)and less (＜500 ml) amount of bleeding group. Results The incidence of hepatic damage and mortality rate induced by hepatic failure were 32. 6% and 1.6% respectively after liver resection for primary hepatic carcinoma. Single variant analysis showed that pringle maneuver, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion and size of tumor were associated with postoperative hepatic function.Furthermore, multivariate stepwise regression analysis revealed that pringle maneuver was the independent risk factor associated with postoperative hepatic function (β = 0. 314, t= 2. 272, P ＜0. 05). Conclusions The postoperative hepatic damage is significantly correlated with pringle maneuver and intraoperative bleeding in liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma in senile people.And improving operative techniques, shorting the time of pringle maneuver, decreasing intraoperative bleeding were the main preventive measures for hepatic damage after liver resection for primary hepatic carcinoma in the elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating unresectable liver caneer. Methods 43 patients(78 lesions) who suffered from unresectable liver cancer were treated with cool-tip RFA from May 2006 to November,2008 in our hospital. 26 cases were treated with RFA in laparotomy besides with reseet of lesion in 6 eases and with alinjection in 5 cases,while 17 eases were treated only with percutaneous RFA. Results All patients were diagnosed by CT and B-ultrasound or MRI,among whom 18 cases were confirmed with primary hepatic carcinoma, 12 eases experienced recurrence following resect of primary hepatic carcinoma and 13 eases developed metastatic carcinoma;Every patient was followed up with AFP, abdominal B-ultrasound, CT scans or MRI from 1 to 28 months after treatment (mean 13.6 months). Before procedure, AFP increased in 20 eases which recovered within 3 months of treatment. 2 cases were suspected having residual on CT scan ,6 cases were found with new masses on liver on CT scan, 1 case complicated with gastrointestinal fistula and then died of systemie metas-tasis 3 months later,1 ease died of postoperative bleeding and 1 died of bleeding and infection after reseet + RFA treatment,and 3 cases died of multi-metastasis during following up who survived on average of 6 months. Conclu-sions B-ultrasound -guided cool-tip circulation RFA is an effective and safe method in treating unresectable liver cancer.
