ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery in treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent surgical treatment from January 2010 to January 2018 at Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 50 males and 8 females, ranging in age from 28 to 78 (53.0±10.8) years old. Patients were divided into laparoscopic group ( n=27) and laparotomy group ( n=31) according to different surgical procedures. The differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, postoperative anal exhaustion time, postoperative complications and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results:The intraoperative blood loss of laparoscopy group and laparotomy group were 100.0(50.0, 400.0) ml vs 300.0(100.0, 500.0) ml, the postoperative anal exhaustion time were (2.7±0.6) d vs (3.3±0.6) d, the hospital stay were (14.8±3.8) d vs (21.4±6.3) d, and these differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The operative time of the two groups were (243.4±27.2) min vs (217.5±34.7) min, with no statistical significance ( t=0.59, P=0.344). There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative complications (bile leakage, abdominal infection, hemorrhage, pleural effusion and hepatic encephalopathy) (all P>0.05); thetumor free survival, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival rates of the two groups were also not significantly different (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective in the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma, and its prognosis is similar to laparotomy, its complications are not significantly increased, which is worthy of promotion in clinic.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare between laparoscopic and open pancreaticoduodenectomy in the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD group, n=101) and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD group, n=99) in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Hunan people's Hospital from Jan 2015 to Dec 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph node dissection, R 0 resection rate, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and overall survival rate were compared between the two groups. Results:The operation time was (475.0±90.7) min and (444.8±63.3) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (350.9±397.9) ml and (546.7±642.9) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was (11.5±4.7) d and (13.3±5.1) d, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).The number of lymph node dissection was 14.8±3.0 and 15.4±2.4, the R 0 resection rate was 93.1% and 96.0%, respectively, and there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of residual complications ( P>0.05). During the follow-up of 5-64 months, the OS of 1, 3 and 5 years in the two groups were 90.4%, 41.3%, 20.6% and 94.3%, 50.8% and 24.7%, respectively. ( P>0.05). Conclusions:LPD is safe and feasible in the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma, and its short-term curative effect, curative effect and long-term overall survival rate are similar to those of OPD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 989 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Hunan People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 349 patients in the laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) group and 640 patients in the open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the baseline data of the two groups at a 1: 1 ratio. Data including operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, bile leakage, pancreatic fistula and wound infection were compared between the two groups.Results:After PSM, there were 345 patients in each of the 2 groups. When the LPD group was compared with the OPD group, there were no significant differences in postoperative mortality, reoperation, intraoperative blood transfusion, pancreatic fistula, bile leakage, abdominal hemorrhage, abdominal abscess, severe complications, and pulmonary complication rates. The number of lymph node dissected, R 0 resection and overall survival rates between the two groups were also not significantly different ( P>0.05). However, the operation time of the LPD group (478.2±91.3) min was significantly longer than that of the OPD group (410.8±62.0) min ( P<0.05). On the other hand, the postoperative hospitalization time (10.8±4.3) d, intraoperative bleeding (322.0±362.6) ml, wound infection rate 1.2% (4/345) in the LPD group were significantly better than those in the OPD group [postoperative hospitalization time (12.5±7.9) d, intraoperative bleeding (478.8±570.2) ml, and wound infection rate 5.8% (20/345)] ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:LPD was safe and feasible, and it achieved similar curative effect as OPD.
ABSTRACT
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) contamination in herbal crude polysaccharides is inevitable. The present study was performed to explore the effect of polymyxin B on abolishing the influence of LPS contamination in mononuclear cells. LPS was pretreated with polymyxin B sulfate (PB) at different concentrations for 1, 5 or 24 h, and then used to stimulate RAW264.7 and mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs). The nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in cell culture supernatant, as the indications of cell response, were assayed. Bupleurum chinensis polysaccharides (BCPs) with trace amount contamination of LPS was treated with PB. 30 μg·mL of PB, treating LPS (10 and 1 000 ng·mL in stimulating RAW264.7 and MPMs respectively) at 37 °C for 24 h, successfully abolished the stimulating effect of LPS on the cells. When the cells were stimulated with LPS, BCPs further promoted NO production. However, pretreated with PB, BCPs showed a suppression of NO production in MPMs and no change in RAW264.7. In the in vitro experiments, LPS contamination in polysaccharide might bring a great interference in assessing the activity of drug. Pretreatment with PB (30 μg·mL) at 37 °C for 24 h was sufficient to abolish the effects of LPS contamination (10 and 1 000 ng·mL).

Objective To investigate the operative techniques for refractory cholelithiasis. Methods The clinical data of 521 patients with refractory cholelithiasis who had been admitted to People's Hospital of Hunan Province from January 1990 to December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results All patients received surgery. After the operation, 3 patients died of liver and kidney failure, the remaining 518 patients were cured without severe complications. The results of B ultrasound and computed tomography showed residual stones in 78 patients (15.1%). Four hundred and twenty-three patients (81.7%) were followed up for 5 months to 17 years (mean, 7.5 years), and the rate of positive effect was 90.1% (381/423). Conclusions Most of the refractory cholelithiasis can be cured radically. Individualized surgical planning, fine and standard surgical procedure are key to the treatment effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the main early complications after pancreatoduodenectomy and analysis of the probable causes.Methods The clinical data of 576 cases who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy(PD) in our department between Feb 1990 and May 2009 were analysed retrospectively.Results There were 92 early postoperative complications occurred in 85 patients(14.8%).Gastrointestinal dysfunction,pancreatic leakage,intra-abdominal infections and hemorrhage were the most of complications,and 7 cases died during perioperative period(mortality 1.22%),among which 3 died of multiple system organ failure,2 died of hemorrhagic shock and 2 died of toxic shock.Preoperative hypoproteinemia and hyperbilirubinemia complicated with a high incidence of postoperative complications on multivariate analysis.Conclusions Meticulous preoperative preparation,delicate intraoperative technigne and close postoperative observation are the key points to decrease early complications and improve the prognosis of the patients who undergo PD.
