ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with portal vein embolization (PVE) and percutaneous microwave ablation liver partition with PVE for planned hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with insu-fficient remnant liver volume.Methods:The clinical data of 51 patients with initially unresectable HCC due to insufficient remnant liver volume admitted to Zhejiang Provincial Tongde Hospital and Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 37 males and 14 females, aged (56.7±11.2) years old. Patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment prior to hepatectomy: percutaneous microwave ablation liver partition combined with PVE (AP group, n=12) and TACE with PVE (TP group, n=39). Patients who successfully underwent planned hepatectomy in the above two groups were marked as resectable AP group ( n=10) and the resectable TP group ( n=29), respectively. Clinical data including the waiting time for surgery and the incidence of complications were analyzed. Patients were followed up by telephone or outpatient review. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analysis were used for survival comparison. Results:The FLR growth rate was higher in AP group [76.5% (65.3%, 81.6%)] than that in TP group [31.4% (28.2%, 41.9%), P<0.01]. The waiting time for planned hepatectomy in the resectable AP group was 12.0 (11.3, 14.5) d, shorter than that in the resec-table TP group [21.0 (15.0, 29.0) d, P<0.05]. The incidence of postoperative complications was higher in the resectable AP group than that in the resectable TP group [80.0% (8/10) vs. 27.6% (8/29), P<0.05]. There was one perioperative death in the resectable AP group. The survival rate after PVE was lower in AP group than that in TP group, and the survival rate after hepatectomy was also lower in the resectable AP group than that in the resectable TP group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:For HCC patients with insufficient FLR, TACE combined with PVE is a safe and effective method for enlargement of liver remnant, whereas percutaneous microwave ablation liver partition with PVE showed a poor prognosis, despite the higher rate of FLR enlargement and shortened the waiting time for planned hepatectomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of en-bloc lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical resection for gallbladder cancer(GBC).Methods:The clinical data of 87 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection for GBC at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2014 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 26 males and 61 females, aged 67.0 (59.0, 72.0) years old. The patients were divided into the en-bloc dissection group ( n=29) and the non-en-bloc dissection group ( n=58) based on whether en-bloc lymph node dissection was carried out. Differences in general data, tumor characteristics, operation, recurrence and survival were compared between the two groups. Postoperative survival status of these patients was followed-up by telephone. Results:The number of lymph nodes dissected in the en-bloc dissection group was 9.0(8.0, 12.0), which was significantly higher than the 8.0(4.8, 11.0) in the non-en-bloc dissection group ( Z=-2.39, P=0.017). There were no significant differences in age, gender, preoperative blood biochemical indexes, tumor carbohydrate antigen 19-9, tumor stage, nerve and vascular invasion, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage tube retention time, postoperative hospital stay, and incidences of postoperative complications (biliary fistula, abdominal hemorrhage and abdominal infection) between the two groups (all P>0.05). The median survival was longer in the en-bloc group than in the non-en-bloc group (21 vs. 15 months), and the median relapse-free survival time was 18 months in the en-bloc group compared with 10 months in the non-en-bloc group. However, there were no significant differences in postoperative cumulative survival and recurrence-free survival between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:En-bloc lymphadenectomy was safe and feasible in laparoscopic radical GBC surgery, with more lymph nodes being removed than the non-en-bloc lymphadenectomy group.
ABSTRACT
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of neurons. NDDs threaten the lives of millions of people worldwide and regretfully remain incurable. It is well accepted that dysfunction of mitochondria underlies the pathogenesis of NDDs. Dysfunction of mitochondria results in energy depletion, oxidative stress, calcium overloading, caspases activation, which dominates the neuronal death of NDDs. Therefore, mitochondria are the preferred target for intervention of NDDs. So far various mitochondria-targeting drugs have been developed and delightfully some of them demonstrate promising outcome, though there are still some obstacles such as targeting specificity, delivery capacity hindering the drugs development. In present review, we will elaborately address 1) the strategy to design mitochondria targeting drugs, 2) the rescue mechanism of respective mitochondria targeting drugs, 3) how to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Hopefully this review will provide comprehensive knowledge for understanding how to develop more effective drugs for the treatment of NDDs.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of lymph node metastasis of early gastric cance.Methods:The data of 176 early gastric cancer patients (EGC) undergoing radical gastrectomy were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Lymph node (LN) metastasis occurred in 24 patients. The average harvested LN in the negative group was 23±13, and that in the positive group was 30±16, ( t=0.327, P=0.015). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the depth of tumor invasion ( χ2=3.997, P=0.046), degree of pathological differentiation ( χ2=9.919, P=0.007), vascular invasion ( χ2=35.145, P=0.000) and nerve invasion ( χ2=13.343, P=0.000). Multivariate analysis showed that vascular infiltration ( OR=16.172, 95% CI: 4.781-55.875), nerve infiltration ( OR=1.365, 95% CI: 1.029-14.897), infiltration depth ( OR=1.859, 95% CI: 1.844-22.711) were independent risk factors for LN metastasis in early gastric cancer ( P<0.05). The overall 3-year survival rate was 96.6%, and the 5-year survival rate was 91.6%. Conclusion:The lymph node metastasis of early gastric cancer is related to the degree of differentiation, the depth of invasion, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and the number of lymph node dissected.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the causes of hemorrhage after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and to develop countermeasures in its prevention.Methods:The clinical data of 215 patients who underwent LPD at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from December 2013 to May 2020 were reviewed. The patients’ clinical data including gender, age, comorbidities and postoperative complications such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula and intraperitoneal infection were studied, with the aims to analyze the causes, clinical manifestations and treatment results of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) after LPD.Results:Of 215 patients, there were 132 males and 83 females, aged (60.7±10.3) years. PPH occurred in 20 patients, incidence rate was 9.30%(20/215). Early hemorrhage was mainly caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening of vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was mainly caused by gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instruments or pseudoaneurysms. Among the 20 patients, 6 patients had early hemorrhage and 14 delayed hemorrhage. There was 1 patient with grade A, 10 with grade B and 9 with grade C hemorrhage. Thirteen patients developed pancreatic fistula, 1 biliary fistula, and 2 intraperitoneal infection. One patient responded well to conservative treatment. Hemostasis was successfully achieved by gastroscopy ( n=1) and interventional therapy ( n=7). Eleven patients required laparotomy for hemostasis. In this study, 14 of 20 patients survivied PPH and 6 patients died. The mortality rate was 30% (6 of 20 patients with PPH). Conclusions:Early hemorrhage was caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was related to gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instrument or pseudoaneurysm. Careful hemostasis, adequate protection of blood vessels, and accurate anastomosis should be performed in LPD. DSA angiography should be used for arterial hemorrhage which progressed very rapidly. Interventional therapy including embolism and stenting were means to control arterial bleeding in PPH. Decisive surgical exploration when interventional therapy failed was important in reducing the mortality rate of these patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the treatment outcomes between laparoscopic versus open radical resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA).Methods:From January 2017 to January 2020, the clinical data of 34 patients who underwent radical resection for HCCA were retrospectively collected and analyzed. These patients were divided into the laparotomy group ( n=17) and the laparoscopic group ( n=17) based on the operation they received. Clinical data including perioperative outcomes, oral re-intake time, first out-of-bed activity time, drainage tube removal time, postoperative hospital stay, 30-day and 90-day mortality rates were compared between groups. Results:Of 34 patients who underwent radical for HCCA in the study, there were 16 males and 18 females, aged (64.3±1.7) years. The mean operation time of the laparotomy group was significantly less than those in the laparoscopic group [(436.2±33.4) vs (522.1±24.0) min, P<0.05]. The 2 groups showed comparable results in extent of operation, intraoperative bleeding, incidences of portal vein reconstruction, yields of lymph nodes, and tumor diameter. The laparoscopic group showed advantage trends over the laparotomy group in incidences oral re-intake time [(4.7±0.3) vs (4.6±0.3) days], first out-of-bed activity time [(2.9±0.4) vs (2.2±0.3) days], drainage tube removal time [(12.7±1.3) vs (11.1±1.0) days] and postoperative hospital stay [(18.3±1.7) vs (15.8±1.3) days], but the differences failed to reach statistical significance ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic radical resection of HCCA in properly selected patients, was safe and feasible. There were comparable clinical outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the technical and essential steps in laparoscopic selective devascularization with paraesophageal veins-preservation.Methods:To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 13 cirrhotic patients who underwent laparoscopic selective pericardial devascularization for portal hypertension at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020. There were 9 males and 4 females with age ranging from 41 to 83 years (median 51 years). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and follow-up data were analyzed.Results:All the 13 patients completed theoperation, no patient stopped the operation or transferred to laparotomy. The operation time was (170±32) min.The intraoperative bleeding was (160±30) ml. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.1±1.1) days. There were no complications, including pancreatic leakage and intra-abdominal infection. On follow-up which ranged from 1 to 15 months, one patient developed portal vein thrombosis, no upper gastrointestinal rebleeding.Conclusions:Preservation of esophageal veins in laparoscopic selective devascularization is an accurate surgery which requires close teamwork and rich experience in laparoscopic surgery. The preservation of the main trunk of the gastric coronary vein and integrity of the esophageal veins are the keys to the surgery which is safe and feasible.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate trans-artery pressure perfusion autologous transfusion for laparoscopic splenectomy and pericardial devascularization (LSPD).Methods:The clinical data of patients with laparoscopic splenectomy in Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital in recent 3 years were reviewed. The therapeutic effects of 30 LSPD cases with trans-artery pressure perfusion (observation group) and 30 radical LSPD cases (control group) were compared and analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in age, sex, preoperative liver function grade and spleen volume between the two groups ( P>0.05). All 60 patients completed laparoscopic splenectomy without conversion to laparotomy or death. There was no significant difference in liver function, operation time and intraoperative bleeding between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05), and there was also no significant difference in blood transfusion, postoperative complications and hospital stay ( P>0.05). The hemoglobin level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic splenectomy and pericardial devascularization with trans-artery pressure perfusion autologous transfusion can increase post-operative hemoglobin value effectively.
ABSTRACT
Primary hepatic carcinoma has ranked as the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death. China shares about 50% of new liver cancer cases, including 80% of hepatic carcinoma. Non-surgical therapy continues to make breakthroughs. The authors report a case of hepatic carcinoma with intrahepatic metastasis and tumor thrombus in the left portal vein, which has achieved continious partial response after the treatment of atezoli-zumab combined with bevacizumab, without adverse reactions such as liver and kidney function damage. The life quality of the patient was improved, showing safety and efficacy of the treatment.
ABSTRACT
Filamentous microalga Tribonema sp. has the advantages of highly resistance to zooplankton-predation, easy harvesting, and high cellular lipid content, in particular large amounts of palmitoleic acid (PA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Therefore, Tribonema sp. is considered as a promising biomass feedstock to produce biodiesel and high-value products. In this work, we studied the effect of different concentrations of nitrogen (NaNO₃: 255-3 060 mg/L), phosphorus (K₂HPO₄: 4-240 mg/L), iron ((NH₄)₃FeC₁₂H₁₀O₁₄: 0.6-12 mg/L) and magnesium (MgSO₄: 7.5-450 mg/L) on the biomass, lipid content, and fatty acid composition of Tribonema sp. FACHB-1786, aiming at enhancing cell lipid productivity. The growth of Tribonema sp. had a positive correlation with the concentration of magnesium, and the maximum biomass of Tribonema sp. (under the condition of 450 mg/L MgSO₄) was 8.09 g/L, much greater than those reported in previous studies using the same and other Tribonema species under autotrophic conditions. Different nitrogen concentrations exerted no significant effect on algal growth (P > 0.05), but a higher nitrogen concentration resulted in a greater amount of lipid in the cells. The maximum volumetric productivities of total lipids (319. 6 mg/(L·d)), palmitoleic acid (135.7 mg/(L·d)), and eicosapentaenoic acid (24.2 mg/(L·d)) of Tribonema sp. were obtained when the concentrations of NaNO₃, K₂HPO₄, (NH₄)₃FeC₁₂H₁₀O₁₄, and MgSO₄ were 765 mg/L, 80 mg/L, 6 mg/L, and 75 mg/L, respectively. This study will provide a reference for substrate optimization for Tribonema sp. growth and lipid production.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the initial experience of total laparoscopic radical resection for patients with Bismuth type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of three patients with Bismuth type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinomatotal who underwent laparoscopic radical resection in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from February to May in 2017.Results The three patients all underwent the operations successfully.The operation time ranged from 490.0 to 580.0 min.The intraoperative blood loss ranged from 300.0 ml to 1 200.0 ml.There was no severe perioperatire complication or death.One patient developed biliary leakage which responded to drainage without reoperation.Another patient developed pleural effusion treated with minimal invasive drainage.The length of postoperative hospital stay ranged from 10.0 to 18.0 days.Histopathology showed two patients with well-differentiated adenocarcinomas and one patient with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.The number of lymph nodes harvested ranged from 8 ～ 13.Two patients had no regional lymph node metastasis and one patient had regional lymph node metastasis (1/13).The hilar bile duct resection margins of the three patients were all negative.There was no evidence of tumor recurrence on following up for 7 ～ 10 months.Conclusions It was safe and feasible to carry out total laparoscopic radical resection in selected patients with Bismuth type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma.More patients and longer follow-up are required to study the long term oncological results.
ABSTRACT
Surgical resection is the first choice for liver cancer therapy.In order to transform the unresectable part into resectable one,surgeons manage to ensure adequate liver reserves by making the wanted liver tissue become hypertrophy and let the unwanted one become atrophy.However,though ALPPS (associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged sepatectomy) as an alternative operation plan in its initial developing stage now becomes a hot topic,it is still under great controversy.The author believes that it is imperative to draw up a personalized plan and carry out a strict and reasonable multicenter-clinical trial for those patients to get an opportunity to conduct a safe and effective operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the surgical treatment of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 56 patients with XGC who underwent surgical treatment at the Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from May 2010 to May 2017.Results The diagnosis of XGC was confirmed by histopathology.On preoperative examination of the 56 patients,42 patients had various degrees of increase in the CA19.9 levels,41 patients (73.2％) had thickened gallbladder walls with continuous mucosal linings on ultrasonography,CT,or MRI,and 18 patients (32.1％) had thickening of gallbladder walls with low density nodules.Gallbladder stones were present in 51 patients (91.1％) and 4 patients (7.2％) presented with Mirizzi syndrome.The 41 patients (73.2％) who were diagnosed as XGC before operation under laparoscopic surgery and 7 patients (17.1％) were converted to open surgery.The remaining 15 patients (26.8％) underwent open operation directly because of uncertainty in the diagnosis.All the patients had frozen section during operation.The postoperative pathological results included 21 localizedtype (37.5％) and 35 diffuse type (62.5％) of XGC.All 56 patients had no long-term complications on followed-up for 0.5～ 6 years.Conclusions XGC is a special kind of chronic cholecystitis.There is difficulty in differentiating from gallbladder cancer before surgery.The diagnosis of XGC mainly depends on ultrasonography,CT or MRI.Cholecystectomy is the treatment for XGC.Laparoscopic surgery is the first line treatment for XGC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical value of repeat ultrasonography and MRCP in patients who presented with acute abdomen caused by a single common bile duct stone after the pain had subsided.Methods The clinical data of 46 patients who were diagnosed to have a single common bile duct stone and presented with acute abdomen admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively studied.The patients were treated with anti-infection,antispasmodic and choleretic drugs with other conservative symptomatic and supportive therapy.Ultrasound and MRCP examinations were carried out before and after conservative treatment of the acute abdominal pain.Results 26 (56.5％) patients with a single stone in the common bile duct passed the stone spontaneously.Of these patients,11 patients were discharged home and were treated conservatively,15 patients underwent LC,and 20 (43.5％) patients still had choledocholithiasis.Of these 20 patients,12 underwent ERCP + EST,followed by LC;while the remaining 8 patients had a history of cholecystectomy,6 and 2 patients underwent ERCP + EST and LCBDE,respectively.Conclusion A single common bile duct stone in patients who presented with acute abdomen may pass the stone spontaneously as shown in this study using ultrasound and MRCP examinations.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of miRNAs-107 (miR-107) on pancreatic cancer proliferation,senescence and invasion.Methods MiR-107 expression levels in 3 pancreatic cancer cell lines PANC-1,ASPC-1,BXPC-3 and normal pancreatic HTERT-HPNE cells were studied by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).PANC-1 cells were transfected with 50 nmol/L anti-miR-107 or negative control using Lipofectamine 2000.After transfection,the miR-107 expression was measured by qRT-PCR.Cell proliferation was tested by methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Cell senescence was detected by β-galactosidase staining.The expression levels of PCNA,P16INK4A and MMP2 were measured by qRT-PCR.Results Compared with the HTERT-HPNE cells,the expression level of miR-107 in 3 pancreatic cancer cell lines was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01).After transfected with 50 nmol/L anti-miR-107,cell proliferation was inhibited,and cell senescence were increased in PANC-1 cells (P ＜ 0.05),and there was no obvious change in cell invasion.Compared with the HTERT-HPNE cells,after transfected with anti-miR-107,the PCNA expression was significantly decreased and P16INK4A was significantly increased,but expression of M MP2 didn't change significantly.Conclusions These results demonstrate that miR-107 promotes the proliferation and escapes cell senescence in PANC-1 cells by targeting PCNA and P16INK4A.But it has no obvious effects on cell invasion.Therefore,it may be a new target for the biologic therapy for pancreatic cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the surgical treatment of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN).Methods The clinical data of 42 IPMN cases undergoing surgical treatment in our hospital during the past 4 years were analyzed retrospectively.Results Routine CT or MRI examination was made in 42 cases,ERCP in 6 cases,ultrasonic endoscopy in 12 cases,fine needle biopsy by endoscopic ultrasonography in 4 cases.There were 12 cases of the main duct IPMN,24 cases of branch duct IPMN,6 cases of mixed IPMN.Pancreatoduodenectomy was performed in 24 cases;6 cases underuent laparoscopic central pancreatectomy;10 cases did distal pancreatectomy,2 cases did total pancreatectomy.Postoperative pathology revealed that the malignant transformation rate of main pancreatic duct type was 66.7％,that of BD-IPMN was 12.5％ and 66.7％ of Mix-IPMN.The postoperative complication rate was 26.2％.All cases were followed up for 1 month to 4 years,with no tumor recurrence.Conclusions Imaging examination combined with endoscopic ultrasonography is the main method for clinical diagnosis of IPMN.The malignant transformation rate of MD-IPMN and Mix-IPMN is high.Most of the BD-IPMN is hyperplasia and adenoma.
