ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate laparoscopic choledocholithotomy in patients with cholecystolithiasis and normal sized common bile duct(CBD) with choledocholithiasis.Methods:The clinical data of 393 patients with cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis treated by LC combined with LCBDE at the Department of General Surgery of Hefei Second People's Hospital from Mar 2014 to Jul 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 280 CBD calculi cases in which CBD diameter >8 mm which was included into CBD dilated group, and 113 cases of CBD calculi with normal diameter (5 mm≤CBD diameter ≤8 mm). There was no difference in operative time and postoperative complications in the small diameter group. During the follow-up period, 1 case in the dilated group experienced biliary tract stenosis and treated by stenting. There was no statistical significance in biliary tract stenosis in both groups ( P>0.05).Stone recurrence occurred in 3 cases (2.7%) in the normal diameter group, all of which were removed by ERCP lithotomy. Stone recurrence occurred in 8 cases (2.9%) in the CBD dilated group, 7 were removed by ERCP stone extraction and 1 refused further treatment. Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to perform LC+LCBDE in patients with cholecystolithiasis complicating normal sized CBD stones.
ABSTRACT
Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with surgery is the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, which has been widely applied in clinical practice. Clinical efficacy has also been recognized by clinicians. However, even after the completion of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and subsequent surgical treatment, some patients still have local regional recurrence or distant metastasis in a short period of time. Among them, distant metastasis has become the main failure mode of patients undergoing surgery after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, indicating that this treatment remains to be further improved. Based on the experience of patients with rectal cancer benefiting from total neoadjuvant therapy, the feasibility and implementation of total neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced esophageal cancer were discussed in this article.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of 40 Hz and 70 Hz frequency flash stimulation on the ability of learning memory and autonomous exploratory in young rats.Methods:Twenty-seven SPF grade male SD rats aged 19-21 days were divided into control group (Ctr group), 40 Hz group and 70 Hz group with 9 in each group according to the random number table.The rats in Ctr group were not given flash stimulation, while rats in the 40 Hz and 70 Hz group were received 40 Hz, 70 Hz flash stimulation (1.5 h/d for 39 days), respectively.The Morris water maze experiment was used to assess the learning and memory ability of rats, and the open field experiment was used to evaluate the ability of autonomous exploratory of rats.Nissl staining was used to assess the morphology of Nissl bodies in the hippocampus CA1 region of the rats.The local field potentials (LFPs) collected from the primary visual cortex (V1 area) region by electrophysiological experiments was used to verify the synchronization of flash evoked neural oscillations.SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.The repeated measures ANOVA and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze normal distribution measurement data, and LSD and Tamhane tests were used for further pairwise comparison.The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for non-normal distribution measurement data.Results:(1) The flash stimulation of 40 Hz and 70 Hz both can effectively caused synchronization of neural oscillations in the primary visual cortex of healthy young rats.(2) The results of repeated measures ANOVA analysis showed that there was no interaction effect of grouping and time in the escape latency of young rats in the Morris water maze positioning navigation phase( F=1.326, P>0.05 ). The escape latency had time main effect ( F=40.025, P<0.05), but no grouping main effect ( F=2.039, P>0.05). With the increase of learning days, the escape latency of young rats in each group decreased significantly.There was no interaction effect of grouping and time in the total distance of young rats ( F=2.029, P>0.079). It had time main effect ( F=32.052, P<0.05), but not grouping main effect ( F=2.390, P>0.05) on total distance.With the increase of learning days, the total distance of young rats in each group significantly shortened.On the 6th day of the Morris water maze experiment, there was no statistically significant difference among groups in terms of time in the target quadrant and the number of crossing platforms ( F=2.511, 0.802, both P>0.05). The results of the open field experiment showed that the total distance traveled in the center of young rats in each group was statistically significant ( H=8.935, P<0.05), the total distance traveled in the center in the 70 Hz group (3.80 (2.25, 6.93) m)was significantly longer than that in the 40 Hz group (0.80 (0.72, 1.46) m), P<0.05). The percentage of time spent in the center was statistically significant in the three groups ( H=11.050, P<0.05). Young rats in the 70 Hz group spent significantly higher percentage of time in the center(3.20(2.43, 8.30)) than those in the 40 Hz group (0.95 (0.37, 1.06 ), P<0.05 ). (3) Nissl staining results showed that Nissl bodies in the hippocampal CA1 area of young rats in Ctr, 40 Hz and 70 Hz group were all arranged neatly and tightly, no edema was found in the surrounding stroma, and no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration was found. Conclusion:70 Hz frequency flash stimulation may promote the ability of learning memory and autonomous exploratory of young rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application of scenario simulation teaching rounds in the residency training of teachers.Methods:A total of 56 faculty members in the surgical system were divided into the traditional method group and the scenario simulation group. The traditional method group adopted the training including multimedia centralized training, live rounds demonstration and observation, discussion and summary, while the scenario simulation group adopted the training including multimedia centralized training, scenario simulation demonstration and observation followed by step-by-step discussion and demonstration, review and summary. After the training, the training satisfaction questionnaires of the participants were collected. The participants were evaluated for teaching rounds before and after the training. The data were analyzed using Graphpad prism 7.Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of professional title, teaching years and gender ( P > 0.05). The average scores of teaching rounds before and after training in the scenario simulation group were (80.17±0.99) and (87.38±0.52). The average scores of teaching rounds before and after training in the traditional method group were (78.27±0.82) and (83.24±0.53). The teaching ability had improved after the teacher training in both groups, while the scenario simulation group performed significantly better than the traditional method group ( P < 0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that the satisfaction and training effect of the scenario simulation group were much higher than those of the traditional method group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:The scenario simulation teaching rounds training significantly improves the competency of teaching rounds of residential training teachers, as well as the scenario simulation capabilities of demonstration teachers and volunteers, which makes it worthy of further promotion in order to have a better performance on standardized residency training.
ABSTRACT
In order to optimize the undergraduate teaching methods and improve students' comprehensive competitiveness, this study explored the scientific research training methods of medical laboratory undergraduates during medical internship. On the premise of ensuring that students carry out clinical practice according to the internship plan, the research group leads students to carry out scientific research training in their spare time. The scientific research training was divided into two stages. In the first stage, on the basis of informed consent and independent choice, the students in the control group were trained by self-regulated learning and teachers' question answering, while the students in the experimental group were trained by the way of centralized scientific research lectures and scientific research practice. In the second stage, all the students were in independent research and exploration under the guidance of teachers within 5 months. The results showed that in the process of independent research, the time of topic selection in the experimental group [(3.5±1.1) days] was significantly shorter than that in the control group [( 5.4 ± 1.9) days], and the time of topic design in the experimental group [(12.2±2.5) days] was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(14.6±3.1) days]. It shows that carrying out scientific research training in the medical internship stage of undergraduates is helpful to increase the efficiency of students' later independent research and accelerate the process of independent research.
ABSTRACT
Introducción. La colelitiasis tiene una prevalencia del 15 % y el 21 % tendrá coledocolitiasis al momento de la colecistectomía, con 50 % de probabilidad de presentar complicaciones asociadas. Desde el advenimiento de la colecistectomía laparoscópica, el abordaje de la coledocolitiasis ha sido endoscópico, usualmente en un tiempo diferente al vesicular, sin embargo, los avances en laparoscopia han permitido explorar la vía biliar común por la misma vía, pudiendo realizar ambos procedimientos en el mismo tiempo de forma segura. Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura existente con relación al enfoque para el manejo de la colecisto-coledocolitasis en un paso comparado con dos pasos. Resultados. Existe evidencia que demuestra mayor efectividad del abordaje en dos pasos, con CPRE y posterior colecistectomía laparoscópica, sobre el abordaje en un paso, especialmente en la tasa de fuga biliar y de cálculos retenidos. El enfoque en un paso con exploración de vías biliares y colecistectomía laparoscópica en el mismo tiempo es seguro, con alta tasa de éxito, baja incidencia de complicaciones, menor estancia hospitalaria y costos. Conclusión. El abordaje laparoscópico en un solo paso es un procedimiento seguro y eficaz para el manejo de la colecisto-coledocolitiasis, con el beneficio de estancia hospitalaria menor, sin embargo, se requieren habilidades técnicas avanzadas en cirugía laparoscópica. En nuestro medio ya existe una infraestructura para el manejo híbrido con CPRE y colecistectomía laparoscópica, pudiéndose realizar ambos en el mismo tiempo, para reducir estancia y costos.
Introduction. Cholelithiasis has a prevalence of 15%, and 21% will have choledocholithiasis at the time of cholecystectomy, with a 50% probability of presenting associated complications. Since the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the approach to choledocholithiasis has been endoscopic, normative at a different time than the gallbladder; however, advances in laparoscopy have made it possible to explore the common bile duct by the same route, being able to perform both procedures in a single time safely. Methods. A search of the existing literature was performed regarding the one-step approach compared to the two-step approach for the management of cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Results. There is evidence that demonstrates greater effectiveness of the two-step approach with ERCP and subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the one-step approach, especially in the rate of bile leak and the incidence of retained stones. The one-step approach with bile duct exploration and laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the same time is safe, with a high success rate, low incidence of complications, shorter hospital stay, and lower costs. Conclusion. The one-step laparoscopic approach is a safe and effective procedure for the management cholelithiasis and concomitant choledocholithiasis, with the benefit of a shorter hospital stay; however, advanced technical skills in laparoscopic surgery are required. In our environment there is already an infrastructure for hybrid management with ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, both of which can be performed at the same time to reduce hospital stay and costs.

ABSTRACT
Objective:In order to explore the possibility of expanding the surgical indications of the ambulatory laparoscopic transcystic common bill duct exploration(LTCBDE).Methods:A retrospective case-control study analysis was performed on the clinical data of 585 patients who underwent laparoscopic transcystic common bill duct exploration in the Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018, including 155 cases of the ambulatory LTCBDE (study group) and 430 cases of the overnight LTCBDE (control group). The propensity score was used to match the related variables, and 144 pairs were successfully matched. The two groups were compared in surgery-related indicators, such the preoperative tests, history of acute exacerbation in the last one month, history of upper abdominal surgery, concomitant diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and respiratory diseases), american society of anesthesiology (ASA) score, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, total medical costs, unplanned readmission rate. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), chi-square test was used for comparison between groups, and M( Q1, Q3) was used for measurement data with non-normal distribution. Fisher exact probability test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used for comparison between groups. Results:The indexes of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin (DBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), ASA score, intraoperative bleeding and total medical costs of the study group were 21.8(18.0, 31.0) U/L, 21.5(15.0, 42.5) U/L, 14.2(11.2, 18.6) umol/L, 2.6(2.1, 3.5) μmol/L, 91.0(73.3, 118.5) U/L, 44.5(22.0, 109.8) U/L, 2.0(2.0, 2.0) grade, 7.5(5.0, 10.0) mL, 9 659.0(8 704.8, 10 640.2) yuan respectively, and the control group were 26.0(17.7, 45.3) U/L, 29.5(16.0, 85.5) U/L, 17.2(13.0, 27.5) μmol/L, 3.8(2.4, 8.7) μmol/L, 105.0(81.0, 156.0) U/L, 86.5(25.0, 224.8) U/L, 2.0(2.0, 2.0) grade, 10.0(6.3, 20.0) mL, 14 366.6(11 766.4, 16 764.4) yuan, which the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In two groups of the surgery-related indicators, such as the history of acute exacerbation in the last one month, history of upper abdominal surgery, hypertension are significant statistical differences ( P<0.05). Then there were no significant differences in diabetes, coronary heart diseases, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory diseases, surgical time and unplanned readmission rate. Conclusion:The concomitant diseases may not be the absolute contraindications of the ambulatory LTCBDE. More patients can be treated with ambulatory LTCBDE in experienced centers if relevant outpatient assay and examinations can be further improved, risks of surgery and anesthesia can be fully evaluated, and surgical contraindications can be clearly excluded.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: describir las conductas y los escenarios de riesgo que adolescentes y sus padres relatan de sus experiencias cotidianas. Metodología: se realizó una investigación cualitativa con enfoque fenomenológico hermenéutico que posibilitó acceder a los relatos de los participantes a través de siete entrevistas semiestructuradas con adolescentes y siete con padres. Los resultados muestran relatos sobre el riesgo en torno a la sexualidad y el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en escenarios donde se relacionan con otros. Como conclusión se encuentra que hay una delgada línea entre la exploración y la práctica de riesgo y que los adolescentes, sujetos con capacidad de conciencia, pueden vivir las experiencias como una u otra de acuerdo con la presencia y el uso de los recursos con los que cuentan.
The objetive of this article is to describe the behaviors and risk scenarios that adolescents and their parents tell about their daily experiences. A qualitative research with a hermeneutical phenomenological approach was carried out that made it possible to access the participants' stories through seven semi-structured interviews with adolescents and other seven semi-structured interviews with their parents. The results show reports about the risk around sexuality and the consumption of psychoactive substances in contexts where they interact with people. As a conclusion, it is found that there is a little line between the exploration and the risk practice and the adolescents, subjects with the capacity for conscience, can live experiences as exploration or risk according to the presence and use of the resources they have

Background: The unprecedented increase in metal exposure has been aided by modern industrialization and anthropogenic activities. Cadmium and mercury are recognized as two of the most common heavy metals with destructive impacts on most organ systems. The present study was designed to investigate and improve existing literature on the possible deleterious effects of cadmium and mercury exposure. Methods: Adult Wistar rats were treated with cadmium chloride (5 mg/kg/day) and mercury chloride (4 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. Body, brain and cerebellar weights, motor deficits, antioxidant and lipid peroxidation activities as well as histological alterations to the cerebellum were evaluated at the end of the experiment. Results: Findings showed a significant reduction in body and brain weights, dysregulation of antioxidant enzymes activity and impaired locomotion and exploratory activity in treated rats. Also, an increase in lipid peroxidation and degeneration of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum was observed in treated rats. Conclusion: Overall, these results corroborate previous findings that cadmium and mercury induce deleterious effects on the cerebellum and central nervous system. In addition, this study helps to provide an anatomical perspective and information on the exact cerebellar changes induced by cadmium and mercury in Wistar rats.

ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Antecedentes: el manejo laparoscópico en un tiempo de la coledocolitiasis se acompaña de una tasa de éxito elevada en la mayoría de los casos. Una excepción a esto son los cálculos coledocianos difi cultosos. Objetivo: describir los resultados del manejo de cálculos coledocianos dificultosos. Material y métodos: revisión retrospectiva de una serie consecutiva de casos de cálculos coledocianos dificultosos tratados durante el período 2018-2020. Resultados: 8 pacientes cumplieron con el criterio de inclusión. El manejo en un tiempo por videola paroscopia (5 casos) tuvo un 60% de conversión a cirugía abierta. Los otros pacientes (3 casos) fueron manejados inicialmente con endoscopia biliar por colangitis grave y fueron resueltos luego en forma electiva por instrumentación transcística. Conclusión: esta experiencia inicial sugiere que el abordaje en dos tiempos podría favorecer la resolu ción mininvasiva de los cálculos coledocianos dificultosos.
ABSTRACT Background: Single-stage procedure for the treatment of choledocholithiasis by laparoscopy is associated with high success rate in most cases. Difficult common bile duct stones are an exception to this rule. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the results obtained with the management of difficult common bile duct stones. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective review of a consecutive series of cases of difficult common bile duct stones treated between 2018-2020. Results: Eight patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Of the 5 patients managed with single-stage approach through video-assisted laparoscopy, 60% required conversion to open surgery. The other 3 cases were initially managed with endoscopic cholangiography due to severe cholangitis and were solved with elective transcystic instrumentation. Conclusion: This initial experience suggests that the two-stage approach could be better to treat difficult common bile duct stones with a minimally invasive approach.
ABSTRACT
Background and Objective : Common bile duct stone typically requires surgical intervention, which primarily involves open CBD exploration + Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic CBD exploration. Open CBD exploration has multiple complications, high mortality rate and long recovery time. Methodology : A total of 50 cases presenting as choledocholithiasis between July 2018 to August 2020 were taken for study. 1st group of 20 patients underwent open cholecystectomy with open CBD exploration. 2nd group of 20 patients underwent ERCP followed by interval (6 weeks) laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Results : ERCP found to be better when compared with open CBD exploration in terms of less post-operative complications (5% in ERCP vs 20% in Open CBD exploration) and less mean duration of hospital stay(5 days in ERCP vs 8 days in Open CBD exploration). Interpretation and Conclusion : For management of CBD stone patient, gold standard treatment is ERCP followed by Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. While in patients with incomplete clearance of CBD stone after ERCP, CBD exploration either laparoscopically or by open approach should be preferred. While in patients with CBD stone greater than 2 cm size, direct open CBD exploration is the preferred option380008
ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Antecedentes: la prevalencia conjunta de litiasis vesicular y coledociana aumenta con la edad y llega al 15% en la octava década de la vida. Su manejo continúa siendo controvertido: algunos profesionales prefieren el abordaje en un tiempo por videolaparoscopia, y otros, el abordaje en dos tiempos con endoscopia (CPRE preoperatoria) seguida de colecistectomía laparoscópica. Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia y seguridad del manejo en un tiempo por videolaparoscopia en pacientes consecutivos con diagnóstico de litiasis vesicular y coledociana. Material y métodos: estudio retrospectivo con datos de una base de datos prospectiva, entre julio de 2008 y julio de 2018. Resultados: sobre un total de 2447 colecistectomías laparoscópicas realizadas en el citado período, 416 (17%) presentaron litiasis coledociana. El éxito global de la vía transcística en la extracción de litiasis coledociana fue del 81,2%: del 70,4% en los casos con diagnóstico prequirúrgico de colestasis extrahepática litiásica y del 92,9% en los otros diagnósticos. La morbilidad fue del 4%, sin mortalidad ni lesiones quirúrgicas de la vía biliar. Conclusión : el manejo en un tiempo por videolaparoscopia es eficaz y seguro debido al elevado éxito global de la instrumentación transcística (ITC). El diagnóstico preoperatorio de coledocolitiasis condi ciona una disminución de esa eficacia, por mayor indicación de coledocotomía, con un aumento de la morbilidad y del tiempo de internación.
ABSTRACT Background: The prevalence of common bile duct stones associated with cholelithiasis increases with age and is about 15 % in the 8th decade of life but its management is still controversial. Some surgeons prefer the single-stage approach with laparoscopy while others suggest the two-stage management with preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of feasibility of single-stage laparoscopic surgery in patients with cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective study with prospectively collected data between July 2008 and July 2018. Results: Of 2447 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed during the study period, 416 presented common bile duct stones. The global success of the transcystic approach to clear common bile duct stones was 81.2%, 70.4% in the cases with preoperative diagnosis of choledocholithiasis and 92.9% for other diagnoses. The rate of complications was 4% without deaths or bile duct injuries. Conclusion: Single-stage laparoscopic surgery is an efficient and safe approach based on the high global success of transcystic exploration. The preoperative diagnosis of choledocholithiasis reduces the efficacy of the procedure due to greater indication of choledocotomy, with complications and longer length of hospital stay.
