ABSTRACT
Distal pancreatectomy is the first choice for the treatment of benign, malignant, inflammatory and traumatic lesions in the body and tail of pancreas. In recent decades, abdominal drainage has been a common therapeutic option to reduce postoperative complications in abdominal surgery. However, with the rise of the theory of accelerated rehabilitation surgery, the safety and effectiveness of postoperative abdominal drainage have been controversial, and the placement and management of intraoperative drainage have been questioned. This article reviewed the related literatures at home and abroad, and summarized the controversial issues such as whether to place abdominal drainage tube after distal pancreatectomy, the choice of postoperative drainage mode, and the timing and indication of abdominal drainage tube removal.
ABSTRACT
Onodera prognostic nutrition index (OPNI) is a simple and effective parameter. It is calculated by serum albumin level and peripheral blood lymphocyte count. Initially, OPNI is used to assess preoperative nutritional status and surgical risk. In recent years, researchers have found that OPNI is related to the prognosis of many tumors. Simple and accurate prognosis evaluation can help to select treatment methods for digestive system malignant tumors, determine the best pre-operative treatment time and operation time, and improve the survival rate of patients with diges-tive system malignant tumors. The authors review the related literatures at home and abroad, and summarize the research advances in the prognostic value of OPNI for malignant tumors of digestive systems.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of esophagofundostomy combined with pericardial devascularization in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by portal hypertension.Methods:The clinical data of 108 patients with portal hypertension admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from Feb 2009 to Feb 2015 were analyzed. Among them 42 patients underwent esophagofundostomy combined with pericardial devascularization as the study group, and 66 patients underwent pericardial devascularization only as the control group. All patients presented with splenomegaly or hypersplenism; the spleen was routinely removed during the operation.Results:The difference of operation time between the study group and the control group was statistically significant [(157±41) min vs. (143±27) min, t=2.81, P<0.05]. The improvement in the esophagogastric varices in the study group within 6 months was significantly better than that in the control group( Z=2.47, P<0.05). In addition, the rebleeding rates of varicose veins within 1, 3 and 5 years in the study group was 2%, 5% and 10%, while that in the control group was 15%, 21% and 26% (χ 2=5.49, 4.27, 4.31, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Esophagofundostomy combined with pericardia devascularization achieves complete devascularization and low rebleeding rate.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of residual gallbladder lesions after cholecystectomy.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 83 patients with residual gallbladder lesions after cholecystectomy who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between January 2009 and April 2016 were collected.Among the 83 patients,74 had residual gallbladder (41 combined with bile duct stones and 33 with simple residual gallbladder)and 9 had simple residual bile duct stones.Patients received laboratory and imaging examinations,and then selected suitable surgery according to residual lesions.Observation indicators included:(1) clinical features:medical history,clinical manifestation,features of laboratory and imaging examinations;(2) surgical and postoperative situations:surgical procedure,operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time of drainagetube removal,postoperative complications and duration of postoperative hospital stay;(3) postoperative pathological examination;(4) follow-up situation.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect survival of patients and recurrence of lesions using abdomen color Doppler ultrasound up to October 2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as ~ ±s.Results (1) Clinical features:① medical history:all the 83 patients had histories of cholecystectomy,including 57 with emergency operation and 26 with selective operation.② Clinical manifestation:initial clinical manifestation occurred at 1-324 months postoperatively,with an average time of 96 months.Of 83 patients,49 had right upper abdominal colic associated with right shoulder or back rediating pain,fever,nausea and vomiting,24 had jaundice as the main symptoms,8 had gradually worse conditions,with right upper quadrant abdominal pain,chills and fever associated with jaundice in the advanced stage and 2 had abdominal discomfort associated with incomplete intestinal obstruction.③ Laboratory examination:elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels were detected in 48 patients,elevated total bilirubin (TBil) level in 28 patients and elevated serum and urinary amylase level in 4 patients,respectively.④ Imaging examination:of 83 patients,77 had positive results of magnetic resonanced eholangio-pancreatography (MRCP),43 had positive results of abdominal color Doppler ultrasound and 39 (4 combined with pancreatitis) had positive results of abdominal computed tomography (CT).(2) Surgical and postoperative situations:all the 83 patients underwent surgery.Of 74 patients with residual gallbladder,72 underwent residual gallbladder resection (of 41 combined with bile duct stones,35 undergoing residual gallbladder resection + bill duct exploration and removing the stone + T-tube drainage,6 initially undergoing endoscopic sphincterotomy for removing bile duct stones and then residual gallbladder resection and 31 undergoing simple residual gallbladder resection),1 combined with residual gallbladder cancer underwent residual gallbladder resection + common bile duct resection + hepatic duct-jejunum internal drainage and 1 combined with residual gallbladder cancer and common bile duct space-occupying lesion underwent palliative biliary-enterostomy.Nine patients with simple residual bile duct stones underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy for removing bile duct stones.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time of drainage-tube removal and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (92±39)minutes,(63±12)mL,(5±4)days and (9±5)days in 74 patients with residual gallbladder,respectively.There was no severe postoperative complication.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (57±33)minutes,(25±9)mL and (5 ± 3) days in 9 patients with simple residual bile duct stones,respectively.No severe complication was occurred in 9 patients.(3) Postoperative pathological examination:the length of residual cystic duct in 74 patients with residual gallbladder was (2.8 ± 1.0) cm,combining with stones.Of 74 patients,simple hyperplasia of residual gallbladder were detected in 54 patients,dysplasia in 14 patients,tumor-like hyperplasia and benign tumor in 4 patients and adenocarcinoma in 2 patients.(4) Follow-up situation:all the 83 patients were followed up for 6-71 months,with a median time of 33 months.Eighty-one patients were healthy survival,without recurrence of lesions.One patient had recurrence of bile duct stones at 34 months postoperatively,and then was cured by choledochojejunostomy,without recurrence up to the end of follow-up.One patient with residual gallbladder cancer complicated with common bile duct space-occupying lesion died at 9 months postoperatively.Conclusions Patients have recurrent right upper abdominal colic associated with right shoulder or back rediating pain,fever and jaundice after cholecystectomy,and lesions of residual gallbladder or bile duct stones should be considered.Reoperation is safe and feasible for patients,with a good clinical outcome.
ABSTRACT
In recent years,liver transplantation donor shortage as one of world medical problems is paid more attention by domestic and overseas scholars.In view of that,heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation emerges which transplants the whole or some parts of a donor liver outside the original liver position on the condition that some parts or the whole of the original liver were retained.As for the liver transplantation with poor conditions on portal vein,reconstruction of portal vein has become an aporia.Based on this,some scholars put forward the theory——arterialization of portal vein(PVA),namely a method to increase arterial blood supply or replace portal vein blood perfusion of liver by establishing some pathes among artery and portal vein or its branches.The research background and current situation of heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation with portal vein arterialization,the transplanting position of donor liver,vessel reconstruction,dynamics mechanism after reconstruction and liver regene-ration are summarized in this review.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of esophagofundostomy combined with devascularization for the treatment of portal hypertension.Methods From February 2009 to August 2013,30 cases (research group) underwent esophagofundostomy combined with devascularization,while 56 cases (control group) were treated by devascularization only.Splenectomy was performed in all patients.Results There was no perioperative mortality in either group.The difference of postoperative serum bilirubin,albumin and blood platelet was not statistically significant (t =1.13、0.23、1.53,all P ＞ 0.05) ; The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy in research group and control group was 3％ and 11％,respectively,three years mortality was 14％ and 24％,respectively (x2 =0.61、1.22,all P ＞0.05).The rebleeding rate in research group was lower than control group,there was a significant difference (x2 =4.61,P ＜ 0.05).Research group was superior to control group in improving esophageal-gastric varices and there was a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with devascularization,esophagofundostomy combined with devascularization is more effective in reducing esophageal-gastric varices and prevention of rebleeding.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) on insulin signal transduction pathway in skeletal myoblast of L6 rats,and further to explore the possible mechanism of AngⅡ on glucose utilization.Methods Myoblast cells of L6 rats were cultured and induced to differentiate.They were divided into 4 groups according to different treatment by AngⅡ or JAK2-PKA inhibitor H89:normal control group ( NC group),insulin group,insulin + AngⅡ group and insulin + AngⅡ + H89 group.Expression of IRS1 and GLUT4 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Expression of IRS1,Ptyr-IRS1 and GLUT4 (total and membrane protein) were detected by Western blot.Results The difference of GLUT4 mRNA expression in the 4 groups detected by RT-PCR had no statistical significance(P ＞ 0.05).The difference of IRS1 mRNA expression among the latter 3 groups had no statistical significance(P ＞ 0.05),however,IRS1 expression in the latter 3 groups was higher than that in NC group(P ＜ 0.05).Western blot results showed expression of IRS1,Ptyr-IRS1 and GLUT4 (membrane protein)was higher in the latter 3 groups than in NC group(P ＜0.05).The difference of IRS1 expression among the latter 3 groups(P ＞ 0.05 ) and GLUT4 (total protein) expression among the 4 groups had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of of ptyr-IRS1 and GLUT4 membrane protein in Ins + AngⅡ + H89 group was much higher than that in Ins + AngⅡ group,and lower than that in insulin group(P ＜0.05).Conclusion AngⅡ inhibits IRS1's tyrosine phosphorylation and GLUT4's transfer from cytoplasm to plasma membrane in skeletal muscle cells through JAK2-PKA signaling pathway,and therefore induces insulin resistance.
ABSTRACT
Since portal vein arterialization(PVA) was firstly introduced as a treatment in patients with portal hypertension due to liver cirrhosis, the concept of PVA has drawn much attention. In special situations, in hepatobiliary surgery, this procedure remains useful. However, PVA is unphysiological and there is much controversy on its use.This article reviews the current status of PVA in hepatic artery resection or injury, in acute liver failure and in liver transplantation, and suggests future directions in research in PVA.
ABSTRACT
Radiological evaluation is a key step for donor's preoperative evaluation in living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).There are many powerful functions in multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT)which can suit all-in-one radiological evaluation before donor's operation.By referring to the articles from home and abroad in recent years,from viewpoint of surgeon,this artical reviews the application status of multi-slice CT for preoperative assessment in LDLT,which can help to provide theory support for choice of radiological examination in LDLT donor.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the extent and the relevant factors for local lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma. Methods Clinicopathologic features of 34 patients with gallbladder carcinoma who underwent radical resection were analyzed retrospectively. Results The overall lymph node metastasis rate was 68%(23/34), with 0(0/3) in T 1 stage, 43%(3/7) in T 2, 85%(11/13) in T 3, and 82%(9/11) in T 4. The metastasis rate was 29%(10/34) in gallbladder lymph nodes, 44%(15/34) in pericholedochal, 18%(6/34) in hepatic hilum, 24%(8/34) alongside proper hepatic artery, 21%(7/34) in periportal vein, 38%(13/34) in retropancreaticoduodenal, and 4/6 in paraaortic region. Conclusions Lymph node metastasis was determined by the depth of invasion of the primary tumor. The extent of surgical dissection was made according to the exploration and result of intraoperative biopsy.
