ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the MRI findings of normal pancreas in piglets. Methods Eight healthy piglets underwent MR examination, and the morphology, size, signal intensity of pancreas were observed. After MR imaging, all piglets were abdominally incised to observe the anatomy of pancreas and pancreatic adjacent structures. The opening of both common bile duct and pancreatic duct were detected during operation. Two piglets were sacrificed after operation and the whole pancreases were dissected for anatomic research. Results The pancreas of piglets was composed of three parts: right lobe, median lobe and left lobe. All the lobes were displayed clearly on MRI. The signal intensity of pancreas was higher than that of liver and spleen on T1WI, whereas lower than that of liver and spleen on T2WI. On MRCP, pancreatic duct was not presented, whereas the common bile duct could be seen clearly. The opening of common bile duct located at superior part of duodenum (nearby the pylorus) and the opening of pancreatic duct situated at duodenal papilla corresponding to pancreatic right lobe. Conclusion MRI can show the pancreas of piglets very well. The morphology of pancreas and features of common bile duct conjunction with pancreatic duct in piglet are different from those in human.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility,safety,efficacy and mechanism of intraoperative regional chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer. Methods The related literatures were reviewed and analyzed. Results Compared with systemic chemotherapy,intraoperative regional chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer could increase blood drug concentration of cancerous tissue,reduce the systemic toxic side effects,increase survival rate and improve the quality of life. Conclusion Intraoperative regional chemotherapy,as an adjuvant treatment of advanced gastric cancer,has been gradually applied to clinic because of the definite curative effect,which is worth popularizing. However,it needs systemic researches and accumulation of cases.
