RESUMO
Biliary tract cancers (BTC) is a type of digestive tract malignant tumors that originate from biliary epithelial cells, is characterized by strong occult and highly invasive, and has a high mortality rate. Early detection and diagnosis are considered to be the key to obtaining radical surgical treatment. R0 resection is an effective measure to benefit patients with BTC. However, most of the patients present with local progression or associated distant metastasis, making it impossible to undergo radical surgical treatment. With existing diagnosis and treatment methods, the 5-year survival rate of patients is still very low. Therefore, how to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of BTC, prolong survival, and improve the quality of life has become an urgent problem to be solved. In view of the characteristics of BTC and the continuous deepening of clinical pathological molecular research, adjuvant therapy, precisely targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and comprehensive treatment are currently considered to be standardized diagnosis and treatment models and research directions beyond surgery. Therefore, this article systematically analyzes the current research progress of BTC both domestically and internationally, aiming to provide strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with BTC.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis and treatment of primary breast lymphoma (PBL). Methods:Clinical data and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging data of 6 patients (all females, age 46-79 years) with pathologically diagnosed primary breast diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL) in Xishan People′s Hospital of Wuxi City and Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from July 2015 to October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 10 18F-FDG PET/CT scans were done for primary staging (6 scans of 6 patients), evaluation of treatment response (3 scans of 2 patients), and recurrence detection (1 scan of 1 patient). 18F-FDG PET/CT image analysis was performed qualitatively (visually) and semi-quantitatively (SUV max). Treatment response was evaluated by Deauville scores. Results:All 6 patients were diagnosed pathologically as PB-DLBCL (3 patients by core needle biopsy, 3 patients by biopsy after lumpectomy). All 6 patients were staged using baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT before chemotherapy. For 3 patients diagnosed by core needle biopsy, baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT showed unilateral breast lesion with high FDG uptake (SUV max: 23.0, 52.9, and 33.6). For 3 postoperative patients, baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT showed flocculent soft tissue density in the operative area with low FDG uptake (SUV max: 3.4, 2.2 and 2.0). Patient No.2 showed a large left breast mass with left axillary lymph node involvement by baseline PET/CT, and multiple nodular uptakes in bilateral breast (Deauville score of 4) after 4 courses of chemotherapy and negative result (Deauville score of 1) after 3 courses of new chemotherapy regimens by PET/CT. Patient No.4 showed right breast lesion and right axillary lymph nodes by routine preoperative imaging examination, but left breast lesion by postoperative PET/CT. According to the results of 18F-FDG PET/CT, patient No.4 was with complete response (Deauville score of 1) after treatment, but recurrence (Deauville score of 5) occurred after 7 months follow-up. Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT can play an important role in every step of management (diagnosis and staging, treatment response evaluation and detection of recurrence) in patients with PB-DLBCL.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and primary common bile duct closure in the treatment of extrahepatic bile duct calculi.Methods The clinical data of 215 patients undergoing laparoscopic common bile duct exploration from October 2010 to December 2016 in Wuxi Xishan People' s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different surgical methods,patients were divided into two groups:laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and primary common bile duct closure group(primary duct closure group,n =122) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration group(T-tube drainage group,n =93).Operation time,intraoperative blood loss,recovery time of gastrointestinal tract,liver function in postoperative 1 week and hospitalization expenses,postoperative hospital stay(t test) and postoperative complications (x2 test) were compared.All patients were follow-up by clinic and telephone for 6 months.Measurement data were represented as ((x) ± s),and t test was used between the two groups,while count data using x2 or Fisher test.Results The postoperative hospital stay in primary duct closure group and T-tube drainage group was(8.5 ± 1.9) days and (12.5 ±2.4) days respectively,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P < 0.05).The hospitalization costs in primary duct closure group and T-tube drainage group were (1 200 ± 300) yuan and (1 400 ± 500) yuan,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Postoperative analgesia in primary duct closure group and T-tube drainage group was 11 cases and 32 cases statistically,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).There were no significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,recovery time of gastrointestinal tract,liver function 1 week after operation and postoperative bile leakage between the two groups (all P > 0.05).There was no long-term complications in both groups after 6 follow-up months.Conclusion Under favorable operation technology and strictly grasp the surgical indications,laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and primary common bile duct closure has good clinical application value,and can embody minimally invasive and enhance recovery.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on patients with hepatolithiasis and obstructive jaundice after partial hepatectomy.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 51 patients with hepatolithiasis and obstructive jaundice who were treated with partial hepatectomy from July 2006 to August 2015 at Xishan People's Hospital of Wuxi.Based on whether atorvastatin was used or not,the patients were divided into the treatment group (25 patients) and the control group (26 patients).Liver function tests were determined regularly after operation.The serum liver function on postoperative day 3 (P3d) and postoperative day 5 (P5d),complications (incisional infection,abdominal infection,pleural effusion,peritoneal effusion and bile leakage) and duration of hospital stay in the two groups of patients were compared.Results There was no perioperative death in the two groups.When compared with the control group,liver function data suggested an improvement in the treatment group,as ALT and AST in the treatment group were significantly lower than in the control group on P3d and P5d [ALT (252.6 ± 87.0) U/L vs (385.0 ± 152.9)U/L,(89.9 ±28.2) U/L vs (116.9 ±29.3) U/L;AST(130.7 ±66.9) U/L vs (212.7 ±80.0) U/L,(47.5 ± 16.1) vs (69.2 ± 12.2) U/L,all P < 0.05].When compared with the control group,the serum cholesterol level was lower on P3d and P5d [TC:(6.7 ± 0.3) mmol/L vs (6.2 ± 0.3) mmol/L;(6.1 ± 0.4) mmol/L vs (7.0 ± 0.4) mmol/L,P < 0.05],the serum CRP level was also lower in the treatment group [(56.8 ± 15.7) mg/L vs (98.9 ± 40.3) rg/L,P < 0.05];the duration of hospital stay was (10 ± 1) days in the treatment group,which was significantly different from the control group (12 ± 1) days.Conclusion The use of atorvastatin in patients with hepatolithiasis and obstructive jaundice who were treated with partial hepatectomy improved postoperative liver function and shortened postoperative hospital stay.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and summarize the experience of treating patients with hepatic injuries in a primary-care hospital.Methods The clinical data of 230 patients with hepatic injuries from January 2002 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 124 patients were treated with surgery and 106 patients (including two patients who were transferred to another hospital) were managed by conservative treatment.Of 230 patients,204 patients recovered well and 26 patients died.63 cases of severe hepatic injuries (grades Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ and Ⅵ),the mortality rate reached 25.4%.Concltsions The important points to success in managing these patients are early diagnosis and adequate assessment of liver injury,proper choice of treatment and using the simplest and the most effective means in surgery to control bleeding.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of intraoperative methylprednisolone used in combination with perioperative enteral nutrition support in improving liver synthetic function after hepatectomy and postoperative recovery.Methods In this prospective controlled trial,79 patients treated with hepatectomy at Departement of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Surgery in Drum Tower Hospital between June 2013 and May 2014 were included and divided into control group (n =39) and steroid group (n =40) according to the order of surgery.The control group underwent hepatectomy only,while the steroid group received intraoperative methylprednisolone (500 mg) at the start of liver excision.Both of the two groups were given the same perioperative enteral nutrition support.Liver function,prealbumin (PA),and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured before and on days 1,3,and 5 after the operation.Human blood albumin infusion volume,postoperative gas passing,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of complications were recorded.Results The serum level of PA on day 3 after hepatectomy was significantly higher in the steroid group than in the control group [(101.26 ±61.17) mg/L vs.(81.84 ±43.58) mg/L,t =-1.607,P =0.049].The serum level of cholinesterase on day 1 after hepatectomy was significantly higher in the steroid group than in the control group [(5.60±1.54) kU/Lvs.(4.68±1.01) kU/L,t=-3.136,P=0.004].On day1 and day 3 after hepatectomy,the serum levels of CRP were significantly lower in the steroid group than in the control group [(41.79 ±20.86) mg/L vs.(62.08 ±38.33) mg/L,t =2.933,P=0.027;(64.14 ±32.38) mg/L vs.(102.64 ± 49.05) mg/L,t =4.127,P =0.006].The postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the steroid group than in the control group [(12.62 ±5.74) d vs.(15.41 ± 10.00)d,t =1.514,P =0.002].Conclusion Intraoperative use of methylprednisolone combined with perioperative enteral nutrition support may inhibit postoperative inflammatory response,promote early recovery of liver synthetic function,and help to promote rehabilitation after hepatectomy.
RESUMO
Objective To clarify the association of pre-existing choledocholithiasis or cholecystolithiasis and the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC).Methods A computerized literature search was performed in Pubmed,EmBase and CBM.Cohort and case control studies on the risk of choledocholithiasis or cholecystolithiasis developing ICC was included.Meta-analysis was performed using STATA version 12.0.Either a fix or random effect model was used according to heterogeneity among studies.Egger's test was performed to assess publication bias.Results A total of 6 case control studies fulfilled our inclusion criteria including 123,713 patients,4,753 for ICC and 118,960 for tumor free controls.Bile duct stone contributed to the development of ICC (OR:15.64,95% CI 9.33-26.23).Apart from hepatolithiasis,there was still a high risk of ICC development for choledocholithiasis (OR:11.05,95 % CI:4.02 ~ 30.37).Cholecystolithiasis is also a risk factor for ICC (OR:2.35,95 % CI:1.28 ~ 4.31).Conclusion Both choledocholithiasis and cholecystolithiasis are important prognostic factors for ICC.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of 1 aparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy (LaHt)in the treatment of liver cancer by comparing with Open precise hepatectomy (OHt).Methods Forty-six cases of liver tumor hepatectomy were collected by the none randomized controlled trails (non-RCTs) from January 2011 to December 2013 in Department of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery,Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital.According to the operation method,they were divided into two groups,including 19 cases of LaHt group and 27 cases of OHt group.Compare differences of their operation time,intraoperative blood loss,time of Pringle maneuver,and postoperative hospital stay,time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery,Serum liver function index,pathological tumor margin,postoperative complications,total hospitalization expenditures.Results (1) No perioperative mortality was observed in the 2 groups.(2) Compared with OHt group,LaHt group had shorter Pringle maneuver time with statistical significance (P < 0.05,F =8.662) ; while,LaHt group also had less hemorrhage and shorter operation time than OHt group,although statistical significance did not existed (P > 0.05,F =1.481,F =0.539).(3) Compare with OHt group,postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery of LaHt group was faster while postoperative length of hospital stay of LaHt group was shorter with obviously statistical significances existed (P < 0.01,F =7.691,F =11.408).(4) The liver function index serum ALT,AST of LaHt group is lower compared to that of OHtgroup postoperative dayl and 3,however,only the day 3 AST had statistical significance (P < 0.05,F =4.226).LaHt group had lower CRP level than OHt group on both day 1 and 3 after surgery,but there was no statistical significance(P > 0.05,F =0.792,F =0.007).Serum TB and DB varied little between LaHt and OHt group on both day 1 and 3 after surgery without statistical significance (P > 0.05,F =2.002,F =0.021,F =0.442,F =1.392).(5) The average hospital charges for the patients in LaHt group is higher than that in OH group,but there was still no statistical significance (P > 0.05,F =0.046).(6) Although there was no significant difference between LaHt and OH in positive/negative excision margin ratio (P >0.05,x2 =1.453),there was 1 case of excision margin residues in LaHt group which would have negative effects on the prognoses.Conclusions Laparoscopic hepatectomy is a safe and feasible surgical approach,with minimally invasive advantage for treatment of liver cancer.However,compared with open precise hepatectomy,there are still some deficiencies in terms of radical curative aspect.
RESUMO
While Choledocholithiasis is concomitant with gallstones in approximately 9.2% ~ 14.3% of the patients,and its treatment methods are mainly by surgery,including:(1)Open cholecystectomy and open choledocholithotomy 、T-tube drainage (OC-OCHTD) ; (2) Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST),and followed by Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) second stage (ERCP/EST + LC) ; (3) Laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LC +CBDE).These three methods all have their own characteristics.The last two methods are minimally invasive surgery treatment.Practice has proved that LCBDE and ERCP + EST + LC treatment methods are feasible and show certain advantages,compared with OC-OCHTD reflecting the development of minimally invasive surgery.Practice has proved that LCBDE and ERCP + EST + LC treatment methods are feasible and show certain advantages,compared with OCHTD reflecting the development of minimally invasive surgery.But the indications of operation are need to be summarized constantly in clinical practice,while operation skills are also need to be improved.At present,many reports of the two methods of minimally invasive treatment have been published because of the controversy,such as surgical indications,hospitalization expense,operation time,therapy danger,complications and the length of hospital stay.Both LCBDE and ERCP + EST + LC show some advantages and disadvantages compared with each other.On proper indications,LCBDE embodies the superiority of minimally invasive surgery technology as a one-stage operation,which is preferred for patients of choledocholithiasis with concomitant gallstones.For patients,no matter what kind of operation method,less invasion,lower risk and less complications is the key for best treatment choise.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the safety and efficiency of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) + laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) /endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) +LC for patients with concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones.Methods The Pubmed,EMBASE and CNKI were searched for randomized controlled trials published from 1990 to March,2012.Revman 5.1 was used to perform the meta-analysis.The main outcomes were stone clearance rate,treatment morbidity,operative time and length of hospital stay.Results 9 studies with 1021 patients were included into the final analysis.Meta-analysis demonstrated that LC+LCBDE was similar to ERCP/EST+LC in the stone clearance rate (OR 1.55,95%CI 0.95~2.52,P=0.08),treatment morbidity (OR 1.12,95%CI 0.75~1.67,P=0.58),operative time (WMD-54.44,95%CI-107.7~-1.17,P=0.05) and length of hospital stay (WMD-0.22,95%CI-2.6~2.16,P=0.86).The P value of the stone clearance rate was approaching 0.05 with increased number of studies in the analysis.There was no significant difference in the operative time,probably because of small sample size.Conclusions LC-LCBDE was equivalent to ERCP/EST+ LC in stone clearance rate,treatment morbidity,operative time and length of hospital stay.There is a possibility that LC+LCBDE can be superior to ERCP/EST+LC in the stone clearance rate and the operative time with increase in sample size.
