Radical pancreaticoduodenectomy via artery approach combined with portal vein and splenic vein reconstruction / 中华消化外科杂志

For patients with malignant pancreatic cancer combined with vascular invasion,radical pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular resection and anastomosis is the treatment of choice.Because this procedure is difficult to manage and with high risks,it is a great challenge to surgeons.A 50-year old patient with pancreatic head cancer whose portal vein and superior mesenteric vein were involved received radical pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.In the surgery,the tumor and its surrounding tissues were dissected,and then the portal vein and splenic vein were reconstructed.The patient was discharged at the 10th day after the surgery with favorable prognosis.

COMPARISON OF ANTIOXIDANT FUNCTION OF TEAS NATURALLY HIGH IN SELENIUM AND ARTIFICIALLY Se ENRICHED IN RATS / 营养学报

Objective: To study the selenium(Se) chemical forms in Se enriched tea by fertilizing sodiums selenite in soil and tea naturally high in Se and compare their antioxidant function. Methods: The Se enriched tea was produced by fertilization of sodium selenite through biological transformation of tea tree in low Se content soil. Five groups of rats were fed basal low Se diet and basal diet with sodium selenite, extractions of low Se tea, Se enriched tea by fertilizing with sodium selenite, and tea naturally high in Se. The Se chemical forms and antioxidant function of rats fed with different Se resource were detemined after 8 wks. Results: The proportion of organic forms of Se and Se protein were almost the same in Se enriched tea and tea naturally high in Se. The Se absorption and utilization rates were 65.41%, 68.05% ,and 70.49% for sodium selenite, Se enriched tea and tea naturally high in Se respectively. It showed that the availability of Se in Se enriched tea was higher than that in sodium selenite. The Se content of blood and liver, GSH Px activity were significantly increased by feeding extraction of Se enriched tea compared with control, sodium selenite and low Se tea.. Conclusion: The biological effect of organic form Se in Se enriched tea is higher than that of sodium selenite, and the Se enriched tea produced by fertilizing sodium selenite in low Se soil is as effective as tea naturally high in Se. The Se enriched tea is safe and effective in increasing the Se intake of both human and animals in low Se area.
