ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of different options of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) on perioperative complications of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The clinical data of patients undergoing PD for periampullary carcinoma from January 2016 to November 2021 at Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital) were retrospectively analyzed. The 303 patients including 199 males and 104 females, aged (64.2±8.8) years. According to PBD, the patients were divided into two groups: percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) group ( n=228) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) group ( n=75). PBD operation-related complications (including bleeding, biliary leakage, etc.), postoperative complications of PD (including pancreatic fistula, biliary leakage, surgical site infection, etc.) and perioperative complications (PBD operation-related complications + postoperative complications of PD) were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze factors influencing perioperative complications of PD. Results:The incidence of PBD operation-related complications in PTBD group was 10.1% (23/228), lower than that in ERCP group 25.3%(19/228), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=10.99, P=0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications of PD in PTBD group was 38.2%(87/228), lower than that in ERCP group 69.3%(52/75), the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.09, P<0.001). The incidence of total perioperative complications in PTBD group was 44.3% (101/228), lower than that in ERCP group 73.3%(55/75), the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=19.05, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with periampullary carcinoma undergoing ERCP biliary drainage and PD had increased risk of surgical site infection ( OR=2.86, 95% CI: 1.59-5.16, P<0.001) and pancreatic fistula ( OR=3.06, 95% CI: 1.21-7.74, P=0.018). Conclusion:ERCP biliary drainage is a risk factor for postoperative pancreatic fistula and surgical site infection in patients with periampullary carcinoma undergoing PD. PTBD should be recommended as the first choice for the patients underwent PD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the computed tomography (CT) examination anato-mical features and clinical significance of paraesophageal vein (PEV) in portal hypertension.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 173 patients with portal hypertension who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from January 2018 to June 2021 were collected. There were 124 males and 49 females, aged from 22 to 71 years, with a median age of 47 years. Observation indicators: (1) preoperative CT examinations; (2) surgical situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination to detect surgical effects once every 3 months within postoperative 6 months and once every 6 months after postoperative 6 months. The follow-up was up to June 2021. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) and count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Preoperative CT examinations. The CT detection rate of PEV in the 173 portal hyper-tension patients was 52.60%(91/173). Of 173 patients, 82 cases were negative with PEV and 91 cases were positive with PEV. Of the 91 patients who were positive with PEV, there were 46 cases with paraesophageal varices, 24 cases with thick PEV, 21 cases with thin PEV, 8 cases without esophageal varices and 83 cases accompanied with esophageal varices. Of the 83 patients who were accom-panied with esophageal varices, there were 44 cases with PEV converged alone with azygos vein or semiazygos vein, 39 cases with paraesophageal varices formed above the diaphragm confluent with esophageal varices into azygos vein. (2) Surgical situations. All the 173 patients underwent surgery successfully, including 8 cases undergoing splenectomy, 86 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with modified complete devascularization, 35 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with spontaneous gastrorenal shunt reconstructing devascularization, 41 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with PEV preserving devascularization and 3 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with PEV ring constriction. None of 173 patients had surgical relative death, 67 cases had complica-tions, including 3 cases undergoing splenectomy, 29 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with modified complete devascularization, 11 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with spontaneous gastrorenal shunt reconstructing devascularization, 23 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with PEV preserving devascularization and 1 case undergoing splenectomy combined with PEV ring constriction underwent complications. (3) Follow-up. Of the 173 patients, 159 cases were followed up for 6 to 42 months, with a median follow-up time of 28 months. In the 7 cases undergoing splenectomy who were followed up, there were 6 cases without esophageal varices and 1 case with recurrence of esophageal varices. In the 79 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with modified complete devascularization who were followed up, there were 5 cases without esophageal varices, 67 cases with mild to moderate residual of esophageal varices, 5 cases with severe residual of esophageal varices, 1 case with recurrence of esophageal varices and 1 case with recurrence of esophageal varices hemorrhage. In the 34 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with sponta-neous gastrorenal shunt reconstructing devascularization who were followed up, there were 7 cases without esophageal varices and 27 cases with mild to moderate residual of esophageal varices. In the 36 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with PEV preserving devascularization who were followed up, there were 4 cases without esophageal varices, 21 cases with mild to moderate residual of esophageal varices, 5 cases with severe residual of esophageal varices, 4 cases with recurrence of esophageal varices and 2 cases with recurrence of esophageal varices hemorrhage. In the 3 cases undergoing splenectomy combined with PEV ring constriction who were followed up, there were 2 cases with mild to moderate residual of esophageal varices, 1 case with severe residual of esophageal varices.Conclusions:The CT detection rate of PEV in portal hypertension patients is >50% and the internal diameter and distribution of blood vessels are different in patients. CT examination anatomical features of PEV can be used to guide the formula-tion of surgical methods.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand junior high school students’ sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, sexual behaviors,as well as acess to sexual knowledge and related influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the practice of sexuality education.@*Methods@#Using stratified cluster sampling method, 7 341 junior high school students were selected from Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangxi, Henan, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Zhejiang and Beijing, and self-compiled questionnaires were used.@*Results@#Junior high school students scored (61.71±18.79) in sexual knowledge, with pass rate and excellent rate being 59.02% and 18.53%. The attitudes towards LGBT was (65.44±20.01), the attitudes towards sexual and healthy behaviors was (67.04±49.23), and the attitudes towards sexual relations and behaviors was (70.75±10.46). Students had intimacy needs and sexual behaviors (18.70%), and some had such behaviors as kissing (13.80%), touching sensitive parts (6.70%) and sexual intercourse (2.20%). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students’ sexual knowledge was related to region, grade and school-based sexuality education (OR=2.11,P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Junior high school students have sexual needs and behaviors, but their sexual knowledge is not sufficient; there are differences in sexual knowledge and attitudes of junior high school students across region,grade and gender; schools should promote school-based sexuality education for junior high school students’ sexual health.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the changing rules of free portal pressure (FPP) after splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization and investigate its influencing factors.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 55 patients with portal hypertension who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from January 2016 to September 2018 were collected.There were 39 males and 16 females,aged from 17 to 67 years,with a median age of 46 years.FPP was measured using CT portal vein angiography before splenectomy and intraoperative manometry after cantheterization to the right gastroepiploic veins.Observation indicators:(1) comparison between intraoperative and postoperative FPP;(2) dynamic changes of FPP at the seventh postoperative day;(3) comparison of FPP before and after Valsalva manoeuvre;(4) relationship of FPP with mean arterial pressure and heart rate.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean ±SD.Repeated measurement data were analyzed using repeated ANOVA.Paired data were analyzed by the paired t test.The linear correlation analysis was done for relevance.Results (1) Comparison between intraoperative and postoperative FPP:55 patients underwent open splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization.The FPP before splenectomy,after splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization intraoperatively,at the first and the seventh day postoperatively was (34±6)cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa),(28±6)cmH2O,(34±5)cmH2O and (30±5)cmH2O,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference (F=43.23,P＜0.05).The FPP before splenectomy was statistically significant different from the FPP after splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization intraoperatively,at the first and the seventh day postoperatively,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The FPP after splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization intraoperatively was statistically significant different from the FPP at the first and the seventh day postoperatively,respectively (P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference between FPP at the first and the seventh day postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Dynamic changes of FPP at the seventh postoperative day:the FPP was (30 ± 5) cmH2 O,(29 ± 5) cmH2 O,(29 ± 5) cmH2 O,(29 ± 5) cmH2 O,(28 ± 5) cmH2 O,(28± 5) cmH2 O,(28 ± 5) cmH2 O,(29 ± 5) cmH2 O,(29 ± 5) cmH2 O,(30 ± 5) cmH2 O,(30± 5)cmH2O,(30±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(32±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(31±5)cmH2O,(30± 5) cmH2O,(30±5) cmH2O from 00:00 to 24:00 at the seventh day postoperatively.Level of FPP was higher from 12:00 to 21:00 and lower from 01:00 to 08:00,with a peak value at 17:00 and valley value from 04:00 to 06:00.(3) Comparison of FPP before and after Valsalva maneuvre:the FPP was (30± 5) cmH2O and (32± 5) cmH20 before and after Valsalva manoeuvre,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference (t =82.72,P＜ 0.05).(4) Relationship of FPP with mean arterial pressure and heart rate.Linear correlation analysis showed positive correlations of FPP with mean arterial pressure and heart rate respectively,but the correlation was not significant (r =0.10,0.16,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions FPP can be reduced significantly after splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization intraoperatively and it rises briefly again after operation.FPP has regularly circadian fluctuations and is significantly increased by Valsalva Manoeuvre.There is a positive correlation of FPP with mean arterial pressure and heart rate respectively,but the correlation is not significant.
