RESUMO
Malignant obstructive jaundice is caused by direct invasion or compression of the biliary tract by malignant tumors of the bile duct, pancreas and other systems. Patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as malnutrition, low immune function, and organ damage. The treatments of active preoperative biliary drainage and reasonable reinfusion combined with enteral nutrition can help improve the safety of patients during the perioperative period, reduce postoperative complications, and improve the life quality of patients. This article reviewed the research progress of preoperative biliary drainage, bile recycling methods and precautions in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment practice.
RESUMO
Objective:To study the technical and essential steps in laparoscopic selective devascularization with paraesophageal veins-preservation.Methods:To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 13 cirrhotic patients who underwent laparoscopic selective pericardial devascularization for portal hypertension at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020. There were 9 males and 4 females with age ranging from 41 to 83 years (median 51 years). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and follow-up data were analyzed.Results:All the 13 patients completed theoperation, no patient stopped the operation or transferred to laparotomy. The operation time was (170±32) min.The intraoperative bleeding was (160±30) ml. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.1±1.1) days. There were no complications, including pancreatic leakage and intra-abdominal infection. On follow-up which ranged from 1 to 15 months, one patient developed portal vein thrombosis, no upper gastrointestinal rebleeding.Conclusions:Preservation of esophageal veins in laparoscopic selective devascularization is an accurate surgery which requires close teamwork and rich experience in laparoscopic surgery. The preservation of the main trunk of the gastric coronary vein and integrity of the esophageal veins are the keys to the surgery which is safe and feasible.
RESUMO
Objective:To study the causes of hemorrhage after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and to develop countermeasures in its prevention.Methods:The clinical data of 215 patients who underwent LPD at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from December 2013 to May 2020 were reviewed. The patients’ clinical data including gender, age, comorbidities and postoperative complications such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula and intraperitoneal infection were studied, with the aims to analyze the causes, clinical manifestations and treatment results of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) after LPD.Results:Of 215 patients, there were 132 males and 83 females, aged (60.7±10.3) years. PPH occurred in 20 patients, incidence rate was 9.30%(20/215). Early hemorrhage was mainly caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening of vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was mainly caused by gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instruments or pseudoaneurysms. Among the 20 patients, 6 patients had early hemorrhage and 14 delayed hemorrhage. There was 1 patient with grade A, 10 with grade B and 9 with grade C hemorrhage. Thirteen patients developed pancreatic fistula, 1 biliary fistula, and 2 intraperitoneal infection. One patient responded well to conservative treatment. Hemostasis was successfully achieved by gastroscopy ( n=1) and interventional therapy ( n=7). Eleven patients required laparotomy for hemostasis. In this study, 14 of 20 patients survivied PPH and 6 patients died. The mortality rate was 30% (6 of 20 patients with PPH). Conclusions:Early hemorrhage was caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was related to gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instrument or pseudoaneurysm. Careful hemostasis, adequate protection of blood vessels, and accurate anastomosis should be performed in LPD. DSA angiography should be used for arterial hemorrhage which progressed very rapidly. Interventional therapy including embolism and stenting were means to control arterial bleeding in PPH. Decisive surgical exploration when interventional therapy failed was important in reducing the mortality rate of these patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To compare the effects of patellar position on the balance of soft tissue during the operation and the postoperative outcomes in minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty via a midvastus approach.Methods:From December 2018 to February 2019, a total of 55 patients were enrolled for primary total knee arthroplasty via a midvastus approach. All patients were randomly divided into 2 groups by random number table. During the operation, the gap balance technique was used with patella reduced or subluxated to complete the osteotomy and balance of soft tissue. The changes of gap and varus-valgus angle were compared between the patellar reduction group and the patellar subluxation group in both extension and flexion position. These data were also compared before and after reducing patellar in the patellar subluxation group. Furthermore, the differences of femoral prosthesis rotation, mechanical femoral axis to tibial axis angle, Knee Society score (KSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) and range of motion (ROM) were compared between the two groups.Results:All patients finished 6 months follow-up, including 27 patients in the patellar reduction group and 28 patients in the patellar subluxation group. After osteotomy and soft tissue balance during the operation, there was no significant difference in gap and varus-valgus angle between two groups in either extension or flexion position. While in the patellar subluxation group, the flexion gap was 10.5±0.3 mm with patella subluxated, less than 11.0 ± 0.3 mm after reducing the patella. The varus-valgus angle was 1.5±0.3 with patella subluxated, less than 2.3±0.4 degree after reducing the patella. The difference was statistically significant ( t=4.180, P<0.001; t=7.642, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in extension gap and varus-valgus angle before and after patella reduction in the patellar subluxation group ( P>0.05). The rotation angle of the femoral component in the patellar subluxation group was -0.49°±1.2°, and the external rotation angle was smaller than that in the patellar reduction group (0.24°±1.3°). The difference was statistically significant ( t=2.116, P=0.039). At one month after operation, ROM of the patellar reduction group was 109.6°±8.5° which was higher than that of the patellar subluxation group (104.9°±8.6°, t=2.048, P=0.046). There was no significant difference in ROM between the two groups at 3 and 6 months ( P>0.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference in KSS and VAS at 1, 3 and 6 months after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty, it is suggested to balance the soft tissue as much as possible with the patellar reduced. Otherwise, the consequence of increased flexion space, increased varus and increased internal rotation of femoral prosthesis should be considered. The patients undergoing soft tissue balance with patella reduced have better ROM in the early stage postoperatively.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the difference in imaging and clinical effects between gap balance technique and mea?sured resection technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods We recruited 300 patients undertaking TKA from July 2014 to July 2016. TKA were performed by using gap balance technique or measured resection technique randomly. The intraoper?ative rotation of femoral prosthesis, changes of joint line, osteotomy volume, preoperative and postoperative KSS score, WOMAC score, VAS and ROM were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 292 patients were included in the present study, and 248 patients were successfully followed up for 2 years. The operation duration of the gap balance group was 65.9±14.1 min, which was significantly less than that of the measured osteotomy group 70.5±16.5 min (t=2.36, P=0.02). The rotation angle α of the femoral prosthesis measured on CT scan postoperative in gap balance group was 0.67°±1.71°, which was significantly smaller than that of the measured resection technique group 1.25°±2.53°(t=2.12, P=0.03). The external rotation angle β between the oste?otomy plate and femoral posterior condyle line in the gap balance group was 1.25°±1.26°, which was significantly greater than that of the measured resection technique 0.28°±0.19°(t=6.57, P<0.01). The bone cut volume of femoral medial posterior condyle in gap balance group 9.85±1.37 mm showed a statistically difference (t=2.02, P=0.04) compared with that of the measured osteotomy group 9.52±1.19 mm. The KSS score was 83.8±10.2 in the gap balance group after 1 month. It was superior to the measured resec?tion technique group of 80.5±9.4 with statistical significance (t=2.65, P=0.01). The knee ROM was 101.7°±12.7°in the gap bal?ance group at 1 month after surgery, which was better than that in the measured resection technique group 98.2°±11.8°(t=2.25, P=0.03). Conclusion The axis of the femoral prosthesis was more consistent with STEA in the gap balance group of TKA. The gap balance group had better ROM and KSS functional scores at the first month after surgery. However, there was no statistical differ?ence in knee function at the 2?year follow?up between the two groups.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the clinical application effect of multiple end-to-side anastomosis in free anterolateral thigh perforator flap transplantation.Methods From January,2013 to October,2017,29 cases were applied the technology of multiple end-to-side anastomosis to the same recipient vessel in anterolateral thigh perforator flap transplantation for wound repair.Fifteen cases treated with multiple end-to-side anastomosis on flap arteries,and 2-3 arteries were anastomosed,with the average of 2.13.Nine cases were treated with venous multiple end-to-side anastomosis,and 2-4 veins were anastomosed,with the average of 3.11.Five cases treated with arterial and venous multiple end-to-side anastomosis,and 4-6 vessels were anastomosed,with the average of 5.20.Distribution of wounds:10 cases with hands and wrists wounded,15 cases with forearms and elbow joints wounded,and 4 cases with lower legs and feet wounded.The soft tissue defect size was 5 cm×13 cm-11 cm×27 cm,and the flap area was 6 cm× 15 cm-12 cm×29 cm.Postoperative followed-up was performed every 3-6 months to review flap survival.Results All flaps of 29 cases survived.Venous congestion occurred in 2 flaps within 48 h after the operation,among which,1 was overcomed after released the dressing and sutures,and the other underwent surgical exploration.The venous end-to-side anastomotic stomas were unobstructed,and hematoma was formed.After the hematoma compression was removed,circulation was recovered and the flap survived.With followed-up for 6 months to 2.5 years,both donor site and recipient site of the flaps healed well and the injured distal limbs had no hemodynamic disorder.Conclusion The application of multiple end-to-side anastomosis to the same recipient vessel for free transplantation of anterolateral thigh perforator flaps is safe and reliable.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To characterize naringenin (NAR) pop- ulation pharmacokinetics (PPK) in Chinese women with primary osteoporosis. METHODS: Ninety-eight female patients with primary osteoporosis from the Jingshan, Beixinqiao, Jiaodaokou, Chaoyangmen, and Donghuamen communities in Beijing, China, aged 40 to 80 years, re- ceived oral Qianggu capsules (250 mg). Blood samples were collected before and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h after administration. The concentration of NAR in the blood samples was measured using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. PPK analyses were performed with nonlinear mixed-effect modeling software (version 7.1.2, PsN3.2.12). The clearance (C1), central distribution volume (V), absorption rate constant (Ka1), peripheral distribution volume (VII), and inter-compartmental clearance (CLII) were set as parameters and estimated by the base model, covariate model, and final model. Kidney-Yang deficiency [Shenyangxu (SYAX)] and liver-kidney-Yin deficiency (Ganshenyinxu) are patterns of symptoms in Traditional Chinese Medicine that were set as covariates, along with age, height, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and hyperlipidemia. Both stepwise forward and backward procedures were accomplished to build models. The final model was evaluated by internal and external validation, visual predictive check, bootstrap, and leverage analysis. RESULTS: A one compartment open model with first order degradation was the best fitted to the concentration-time profiles following oral administration of NAR. The mean of population parameters of the final model, C1, SYAX on C1, V, Ka1, CLII, and VII, were measured to be 37.6 L/h, 0.427 L, 123 L/h, 0.12/h, 0.3056, and 1.446, respectively. Inter-individual variability was estimated and SYAX was identified as a significant covariate. CONCLUSION: The population pharmacokinetic model described in this study could effectively characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of NAR following administration of a single dose of oral Qianggu capsules in Chinese women with primary osteoporosis. Among the tested covariates, only SYAX was a significant factor.

RESUMO
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis and anticoagulant therapy for post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) in middle-aged and elderly patients.Methods Totally 45 patients with post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism in our hospital were selected.Patients were divided into thrombolysis group (n =22) and anticoagulation group (n=23) according to their conditions.Symptoms and signs,blood gas analysis,D-dimer,echocardiography,CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were performed before and after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy.Results There were no significant differences in clinical curative rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [95.5% (21/22) vs.91.3% (21/23),x2 =0.32,P>0.05],and no case was found dead in both two groups.There was a significant difference in hemorrhage rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [27.3% vs.4.3%,x2 =4.53,P < 0.05].At 24 hours after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy,the improvement rate of dyspnea,PaO2 level was significantly higher and the pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly lower in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group [45.5% (10/22) vs.17.4% (4/23),(80.4±8.1) mm Hg vs.(73.6±9.3) mm Hg,(51.2±6.2) mm Hgvs.(60.3±5.7) mm Hg,respectively,all P<0.05],and there were no statistical significances at other time points between the two groups.Conclusions The clinical curative rate and fatality rate are similar in thrombolysis group versus anticoagulation group.Hemorrhage rate is higher in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group.Thrombolysis can relieve dyspnea rapidly,reduce pulmonary artery pressure and make the embolized blood vessels recanalized.Patients with low bleeding risk in a critical condition are suggested to take thrombolysis therapy,while patients with high bleeding risk in a light condition are suggested to take anticoagulant therapy.
RESUMO
While human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have promising applications in regenerative medicine, most of the hiPSC lines available today are not suitable for clinical applications due to contamination with nonhuman materials, such as sialic acid, and potential pathogens from animal-product-containing cell culture systems. Although several xeno-free cell culture systems have been established recently, their use of human fibroblasts as feeders reduces the clinical potential of hiPSCs due to batch-to-batch variation in the feeders and time-consuming preparation processes. In this study, we have developed a xeno-free and feeder-cell-free human embryonic stem cell (hESC)/hiPSC culture system using human plasma and human placenta extracts. The system maintains the self-renewing capacity and pluripotency of hESCs for more than 40 passages. Human iPSCs were also derived from human dermal fibroblasts using this culture system by overexpressing three transcription factors-Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog. The culture system developed here is inexpensive and suitable for large scale production.

The usage and dosage of Chinese patent medicine are determined by rigorous evaluation which include four clinical trail stages: I, II, III. But the usage and dosage of Chinese patent medicine are lacked re-evaluation after marketing. And this lead to unchanging or fixed of the usage and dosage of Chinese patent medicine instead of different quantity based on different situations in individual patients. The situation of Chinese patent medicine used in clinical application is far away from the idea of the "Treatment based on syndrome differentiation" in traditional Chinese medicine and personalized therapy. Human population pharmacokinetics provides data support to the personalized therapy in clinical application, and achieved the postmarking reevaluating of the usage and dosage of Chinese patent medicine. This paper briefly introduced the present situation, significance and the application of human population pharmacokinetics about re-evaluation of the usage and dosage of Chinese patent medicine after marketing.

Objective To investigate the blood pressure control effect of captopril sustained-releasetablets based combination, antihypertensive therapy on hospitalized high-risk patients with hypertension in high altitude region. Methods According to the blood pressure,risk factors and combined target organ damage,331 hospitalized patients with essential hypertension were divided into 2 groups and accepted different treatment:low-risk group had monotherapy (n=102) , and night-risk group had captopril sustained-release-tablets based combination antihypertensive therapy (n =229). The discharge blood pressure,extent of SBP/DBP decrease and the compliance rate of discharge blood pressure of two groups were compared. Results The extent of SBP/DBP decrease in hight-risk group was significantly greater than low-risk group (SBP [36. 83 ± 22. 23] mm Hg vs.[28. 74 ±18.71] mm Hg,t=-3. 207,P 0. 05;DBP[80. 67 ±9. 82]mm Hg vs. [78. 40 ±9. 97]mm Hg,t =-1.910,P > 0. 05). Furthermore we found no significant difference in the control rate of blood pressure between high-risk and low-risk group (72. 06% vs. 71. 57% , x2 = 0.928, P > 0. 05). Conclusion The captopril sustainedrelease-tablets based combination antihypertensive therapy is a reliable treatment in high-risk patients with hypertension from high altitude region,which shows satisfying blood pressure control rate.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic value of Tei index of right ventricle and serum level of NT-proBNP in patients with high-altitude heart disease (HAHD).MethodsRight ventricle Tei index and serum NT-proBN level were calculated and tested in 32 local healthy volunteers and 34 cases of HAHD patients hospitalized in our hospital in Golmud city (2808 meters above sea level) from 2008 to 2010,and a correlation study was conducted thereafter.ResultsThe pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and right ventricle Tei index,elevated significantly in HAHD patients compared with the control group [(86.61 vs 9.72)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and(0.90 vs 0.33)respectively,P<0.05].Patients diagnosed as mild pulmonary hypertension without alteration in cardiac structure showed higher pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and the Tei index compared with the control group [( 57.1 vs 9.72 )mm Hg and (0.78 vs 0.33 ) respectively,P < 0.05 ].In addition,the level of serum NT-proBNP was significantly higher in HAHD group than that of control group [( 1246.8 ± 512.6) ng/L and (98.6 ± 21.7 ) ng/L respectively,P < O.05 ].ConclusionRight ventricle Tei index and serum NT-proBNP level are sensitive indicators for right ventricular function and thus of favorable clinical significance for the diagnosis of HAHD.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Glytan lowering portal pressure induced by biliary liver fibrosis. Methods: SD male rats, 240-260g weight around, were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, propranolol group, Glytan high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose group according to the weight. Portal hypertension was induced by common bile duct ligation in rats. After two and four weeks, measured the portal pressure(PP) of each group, observed the histological changes of liver by HE staining, tested liver function and the concentration of endothelin-1 in systemic circulation and mesenteric circulation radioimmnuoassay. Results: After two and four weeks, portal pressure of model group rats increased significantly. Both Glytan and propranolol can decrease PP after two and four weeks, and the pressure-relief effect was similar between the two drugs. HE staining showed that Glytan can significantly inhibit the formation of collagen, promote the recovery of liver tissue structure; liver function indicated a significant decrease in serum AST, ALT, TBIL and Na+ concentration. In addition, Glytan decreased the concentration of endothelin -1 in systemic circulation, increased it in mesenteric circulation after two weeks. Conclusion: Glytan decrease PP by improving liver function and microcirculation, inhibiting collagen formation and water-sodium retention after long-term therapy, ameliorating hyperdynamic circulation at the early stage.
