ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of one stage laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and cholecystectomy vs.ERCP cholecystolithiasis and cholecystectomy (staged) for cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis.Methods From Jan 2015 to Jun 2017,100 consecutive patients underwent randomized one-stage (TCLCBDE + LC) or two-stage (ERCP + subsequent LC) treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones.Data evaluated were hospital costs,success rate of one-stage versus two-stage management,postoperative morbidity and GIQLI.Results 47 patients underwent ERCP plus LC two-stage treatment while 46 patients underwent one-stage treatment.Overall success rate of primary intervention for CBD stone clearance was 95.7％ and 97.8％ (P =1.0).Postoperative morbidity was 10.6％ vs.6.5％ (P =0.735),and postoperative hospital stay was (16 ± 5) days vs.(11.9 ± 2.9) days (P ＜ 0.01).One-stage laparoscopic transcystic management was the least costly option compared to two-stage management (19 415 ±2 167)yuan vs.(26 767 ±4 387)yuan (P ＜0.01).GIQLI improved faster in one-stage management group.Conclusion Transcystic one-stage management for gall stones with choledocholithiasis results in shorter hospital stay,lower costs and faster recovery than the two-stage management.
ABSTRACT
Novel intraductal radiofrequency ablation for malignant biliary stricture indicated good therapeutic prospect.In traditional intraductal radiofrequency ablation,the radiofrequency catheter was placed through endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram under the supervision of X-ray.In February 2014,a patient with intrahepatic adenocarcinoma of the bile duct and malignant common hepatic duct stricture was admitted to the Shenzhen People's Hospital.The patient received cholecystectomy + choledocholithotomy + T tube drainage 3 months prior to the admission.The results of histopathological examination indicated reactive hyperplasia.The patient recovered uneventfully after the operation.One week before the admission,the patient had jaundice and umber urine and received choledochoscopy + common bile duct dilatation + histopathological examination + biliary stent placement.The results of pathological examination confirmed that the patient had intrahepatic adenocarcinoma of the bile duct.The patient received intraductal radiofrequency ablation through T-tube fistula under direct vision of choledochoscopy,and recovered well after the operation.Intraductal radiofrequency ablation under direct vision of choledochoscopy not only has the advantages of accurate positioning and real-time monitoring,but also facilitate cyclical repeat treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of targeted treatment of the carboplatin-Fe@C nanocage-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (C-Fe@CN-CN) combining external magnetic field on rats with transplanted liver cancer.Methods Twenty-four model rats with transplanted liver cancer were established and divided into four groups randomly (n =6).Abdominal exposure was carried out through a midline incision,and a cannula was inserted into the hepatic artery and fixed.Group A:saline water was injected as control,group B:saline water with 10 mg/kg free carboplatin was given,group C:saline water with C-Fe@CN-CN (equivalent dose of free carboplatin 10 mg/kg) was injected in absence of magnetic field,group D:saline water with C-Fe@CN-CN (equivalent dose of free carboplatin 10 mg/kg) was injected in presence of magnetic field for 30 min.All the animals were sacrificed and abdominal exposure was done again after 7 days.After tumors were reselcted,tumor weight and volume was measured,the inhibiting rate of tumor weight was calculated.Tumor and liver tissues were examined for histological changes.Results The growth of tumor was significantly inhibited after therapy with different forms of carboplatin.There was significant difference in the tumor weight of A,B,C,D groups [(0.85±0.12) g,(0.61±0.10) g,(0.48±0.09) g,(0.33±0.06) g,P ＜ 0.05,respectively].The inhibiting rates of tumor weight of B,C,D groups were 28.9 ％,43.4 ％,61.7 ％ respectively.The inhibiting rate of D group was highest which was 1.1 times higher than that of B group.There was also significant difference in the tumor volume of A,B,C,D groups [(1.06±0.24) cm3,(0.72±0.10) cm3,(0.50±0.07) cm3,(0.28±0.05) cm3,P ＜ 0.05,respectively].The tumor volume of group A was largest which was 2.8 times larger than that of group D.In group D,tumor tissues from six rats presented severe necrosis,and nanoparticles were concentrated in the necrotic tissue.In group C,five rats presented middle necrosis,one rats presented severe necrosis.There was no concentration of nanoparticles in the necrotic tissue.In group B,four rats presented middle necrosis,two rats presented mild necrosis.In group A,six rats presented mild necrosis.Conclusion C-Fe@CN-C can significantly increase the therapeutic effects of carboplatin by hepatic artery injection combining with an external magnetic field on the tumor.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate Zeus robot-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Forty patients were divided into two groups receiving respectively Zeus robot-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy (group A, 20 cases), and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (group B, 20 cases). A variety of clinical parameters were evaluated. Compared between these two groups. Results Camera clearing (1.1?1.0) times and time used for operation field adjustment in group A (2.2?0.7) min were significantly less than those in group B (4.5?1.5,7.5?1.2) min. Dissection actions(337?86)times and operative errors(10%) in group A were less than those in group B(389?94) times,25%. The operation time(104.9?20.5) min and setup time (29.5?9.8) min in group A were longer than those in group B (78.6?17.1) min,(12.6?2.5) min. The blood loss,and postoperative hospital stay were similar. There were no postoperative complications in either groups, and conversion to open surgery was done in one each patients. Conclusions Compared with laparoscopic technique, Zeus robotic surgical system offers greater ability of controlling operation field, precise and stable operative manipulations though it requires longer operation time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare the carboplatin-Fe@C nanocage-loaded chitosan nanoparticles(C-Fe@CN-CN),and observe the inhibitive effect on the proliferation of human hepatoma cell line HepG2 in vitro.Methods The C-Fe@CN-CN were prepared by the reverse microemulsion method and the character and drug release in vitro were observed.The inhibitive effect on the proliferation of the HepG2 cell was measured by MTT colorimetry,IC_(50) was calculated and the growth curve of HepG2 cell was drawn.Results C-Fe@CN-CN were in good spherical shape.The average size was 207nm?21nm with narrow distribution.The drug content was 11.40?1.31%.After a fast release during the first day,a more gradual drug release was sustained for another 4 days.C-Fe@CN-CN could apparently inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cell inthe dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.The inhibitive effect of C-Fe@CN-CN at 24 hours was lower than that of original carboplatin,and was equal to original carboplatin at 48 hours and 72 hours.IC_(50) of C-Fe@CN-CN at 24h,48h and 72h was 135?g/ml,18.84?g/ml and 6.09?g/ml respectively.Bland nanoparticles had no cytotoxicity on HepG2 cell.Conclusions C-Fe@CN-CN possess strong magnetic responsivity,drug controlled(releasing) performance and the potential abilities of long circulation and permeation in tumor tissue.C-Fe@CN-CN can effectively inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cell,and the blank nanoparticles express favourable biocompatibility in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative enteral immunotrition(IMPACT) on liver regeneration in cirrhotic rats with hepatectomy. Methods Forty-eight cirrhotic rats were randomly divided into two groups: Group A, perioperative standard enteral nutrition group(n=24), receiving standard enteral nutrient NUTRISON during hepatectomy. Group B, perioperative enteral immunonutrition group(n=24), receiving enteral immunonutrient IMPACT after hepatectomy. According to the different time of taking specimens, each group was separated into four subgroups, each subgroup had six rats. The rats in the two groups received equal daily nutritional supplement intragastrically, which was 690kJ/kg per day. Before the 68% hepatectomy, the rats were fed with enteral nutrient for 8 days, and after operation were fed until the day of taking specimens. On the day before hepatectomy and 1st, 4th and 8th postoperative day(POD), MI (mitotic index) of liver cell and PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) labeling index of hepatocyte were determined. Results MI increased significantly in both group on 4th and 8th postoperative day(P
