ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prognostic risk factors for surgery in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.Methods One hundred and sixty one patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension who received surgery in our hospital in the past 10 years were studied.The data were entered into a pre-designed form.24 predictors including patients′ age,sex,degree of liver atrophy,ChildPugh classification,coagulation profile,splenic size,renal function,blood pH,base excess (BE),operative time,volume of ascites,and intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage were recorded and analyzed.For each of the predictors,2-3 subgroups were compared.Results Seven predictors were clearly related to surgical prognosis:postoperative bleeding within 30h (B0.356,P＜0.001) and a bleeding volume ＞2 L were awarded 3 points; liver volume (B-0.160,P＜0.001) and severe liver atrophy (antero-posterior diameter of the left liver lobe ≤55 mm,oblique diameter of the right lobe ≤110 mm) were awarded three points; blood pH (B0.141,P＜0.001),pH＜7.35 was awarded 2 points; BE (B-0.123,P＜0.001),BE＜-3 (mmol/L) was awarded 2 points; decrease in PLT (B0.065,P =0.015),PLT＜ 3 (T/L) was awarded 2 points; intraoperative bleeding (B0.062,P=0.014),bleeding volume ＞2 L was awarded 2 points; decrease in RBC (B0.053,P=0.024),＜3(G/L) was awarded 1 point.Of the 147 patients who recovered from surgery,all had ≤3 points,except one who had 4 points.Of the 14 patients who died,all had ≥5 points except one who had 4 points.Conclusions Postoperative bleeding (＞2 L),severe liver atrophy (antero-posterior diameter of the left live lobe ≤55 mm,oblique diameter of the right lobe ≤110 mm),blood PH＜7.35,BE ＜-3 (mmol/L),PLT＜30 000(T/L),intraoperative major bleeding (＞2 L) and RBC＜3 (G/L) were significant prognostic risk factors for surgery.For patients who had a score of 5-6 points; death was likely following surgery.A score ≥8 points should be considered as a contraindication to surgery.To reduce operative mortality,active treatment should be given before surgery to keep the score to be 4 points or less.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical and pathological features of Hainan patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in Hainan Provincial People' s Hospital.Methods A total of 239 clinical cases of Hainan patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in Hainan Provincial People' s Hospital from 2006 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The number of thyroid carcinoma cases between 2006 to 2008 was stable.But the cases in 2009 were 72.97％ higher than that in 2008.Female' s peak of onset age was 25 to 55 years and male was 20 to 55 years.The cases of Hant were 231 (96.65％) and the national minority were 8(3.35％ ).So ethnic composition ratio between cases and local population has a very significant difference (x2 =21.376,P ＜0.01 ).The eastern and western regions had 175 cases and 64 cases respectively,138 (78.86％) and 34(46.88％ ) cases from city respectively.Urban and rural ratio between eastern and western areas had a significant difference (x2 =4.420,P ＜ 0.05 ).The 239 cases were composed of 228 cases (95.4％) of papilarry thyroid carcinoma,7 cases (2.92％) of medullary thyroid carcinoma,both 2 cases (0.84％) of follicular thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.Conclusions The incidence of Hainan nationality patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in Hainan Provincial People' s Hospital has increased from 2006 to 2010,with younger trend and regional difference.Thyroid carcinoma has a difference in race and region.The rank of the rate of pathological type is papillary thyroid carcinoma,medullary thyroid carcinoma,follicular thyroid carcinoma,undifferentated thyroid carcinoma in order.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo review the etiology and classification of cholangiectasia. MethodThe clinical data of 1098 patients with cholangiectasia treated from January 2000 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Results For the 1098 patients, 69 patients (6.3％) had congenital choledochal cyst, and 1029 patients (93.7％) had secondary cholangiectasia which were secondary to 22 diseases, The top 5 of the etiological diseases were bile duct stones (366 patients, 33.3 ％), pancreatic head carcinoma (137 patients, 12.5％), peri-ampullary carcinoma (122 patients, 11.1％), cholangiocarcinoma (68 patients,6.2％),and chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic head cyst (62 patients,5.6 ％). ConclusionsCholangiectasia can be divided into two major categories (congenital and secondary). Congenital choledochal cyst accounted for 6.0％, secondary cholangiectasia accounted for 94 ％.The most common etiologies were bile duct stones, pancreatic head carcinoma and peri-ampullar carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
The incidence of thyroid carcinoma has been increasing in recent years.More and more researchers have paid attention to this field and great achievements have been made year by year.The developments on gene diagnosis and molecular markers of thyroid carcinoma are reviewed in this article.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of latarjet nerve and pylous preserved pancreaticoduo-denectomy (LPPPD). Methods Clinical data and postoperative follow-up of Latarjet nerve and Pylous Preserved Pancreaticoduodenectomy since1996 of 32 cases were analyzed retrospectively, and 36 cases being carried out con-temporaneous Pylous Preserved Pancreaticeduodenectomy(PPPD) were compared with. Results The recovery time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recory time is five days of LPPPD group on average; but the time is eight days of PPPD group on average, and significantly slower than LPPPD group ( t = 3.01, P < 0.05 ) ; the occurrence of abdominal distenal, retention of gastric juice and enterogastric recurrent flow are significantly slower in LPPPD group than that in PPPD group( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The postoperative gastrointestinal function recovered fas-ter, and the postoperative complications were less in LPPPD group than that in PPPD group.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the peripheral blood cytopenias in patients with portal hypertension complicated with splenomegaly. Methods The clinical data of 309 patients with portal hypertension who had been admitted to our department from January 1991 to December 2006 were retrospeetively analyzed. Results Of all patients, 278 showed peripheral blood cytopenia, ineluding 71 with paneytopenia, 48 with leukocyte and platelet decrease, 25 with erythroeyte and platelet decrease, 33 with leukocyte and erythroeyte decrease, 28 with platelet decrease, 26 with leukocyte decrease, and 47 with erythrocyte deerease. The number of blood cells increased significantly after splenectomy ( t=6.53, P<0.01). The whole blood cells of the remaining 31 patients without hematocytopenia were normal. Conclusions Patients with portal hypertension eomplieated with splenomegaly do not always accompany peripheral blood eytopenia. Peripheral blood cytopenia is one of the complications of splenomegaly, hut it dose not always appear. Splenectomy is effective in the treatment of hematocytopenia. The reason for some patients do not have peripheral blood cytopenia may be related to the slight pathological changes of spleen and severe hyperplasia of bone marrow.
