Objective To evaluate high resolution manometry in the diagnosis of hiatal hernia.Methods Clinical data were reviewed on 20 patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux who had laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication for preoperative tentative diagnosis of hiatal hernia.Preoperative diagnosis of hiatal hernia was made collectively by endoscopy,X-ray examination,24 hour esophageal pH monitoring and high resolution manometry before surgery.Results Preoperative diagnosis of hiatal hernia was made in 3 patients by X-ray examination,in 9 patients by high resolution manometry.11 patients were finally diagnosed with hiatat hernia intraoperatively.X ray was consistent with intraoperative diagnosis in 27% cases.Intraoperative and endoscopic diagnoses were 55%.High resolution manometry and intraoperative diagnoses were consistent in 82%.Lower esophageal sphincter length was (1.92 ± 0.38) cm in hiatal hernia group and (2.10 ± 0.92) cm in non-hiatal hernia group (t =0.60,P > 0.05),lower esophageal sphincter pressure (respiratory min) was (0.64 ±0.55) kPa in hiatal hernia group and (1.31 ± 1.07) kPa in nonhiatal hernia group(t =1.80,P > 0.05),and lower esophageal sphincter pressure (respiratory mean) was (1.43 ±0.92) kPa in hiatal hernia group and (2.57 ± 1.33) kPa in non-hiatal hernia group(t =2.26,P <0.05).The reflux parameters,including the percent total time pH < 4,and DeMeester score,were significantly greater in hiatal hernia group than in non-hiatal hernia group (all P < 0.05).Conclusions Hiatal hernia patients are with poor esophageal antireflux competency and severe reflux.High resolution manometry is more valuable in the diagnosis of hiatal hernia than endoscopy or X-ray examination.

Objective By using computer tomography (CT) to evaluate the left common iliac vein (LCIV) minor diameter and stenosis in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients and normal population,and to explore the correlation between LCIV compression and left-sided DVT.Methods Measurement and calculation of LCIV minor diameter and stenosis were conducted in 19 right-sided DVT,60 left-sided DVT and 218 control subjects.Multiple factors regression analysis was used to study the correlation of LCIV minor diameter and stenosis with left-sided DVT.Results In control group,51.8% had greater than 50% compression of LCIV,and 24.3% had greater than 70% compression.LCIV diameter in women [(4.7 ± 2.7) mm] was significantly smaller than that of men [(6.6 ± 3.3) mm,P < 0.05)].LCIV diameter in leftsided DVT [(2.4 ± 1.0) mm] was significantly smaller than that in control group [(5.4 ± 3.1) mm,P <0.001)] or right-sided DVT [(6.2 ± 1.8) mm,P <0.01].LCIV stenosis in left-sided DVT [(78 ±8) %]was higher than that in control group [(49 ±25)%,P <0.01)] or right-sided DVT [(38 ±21)%,P <0.01)].The odds of left DVT increased by a factor of 2.69 for each millimeter decrease in LCIV diameter (P < 0.001,95% CI 1.91-3.77),and 2.78 for each ten percent increase in LCIV stenosis (P < 0.001,95% CI 1.95-3.96).With LCIV stenosis >75%,the risk of left DVT was associated with an 11.10-fold increase,and with LCIV diameter < 2.5 mm,the risk was associated with a 13.57-fold increase.Conclusions LCIV compression was an independent risk factor for left-sided DVT.Patients with severe LCIV compression were at high risk for left-sided DVT.

Objective:To provide a potential platform for transferring specific antigen against fish bacterial diseases based on attenuated Lm (EGDe-ΔactA/ΔinlB).Methods: Attenuated Lm (EGDe-ΔactA/ΔinlB) was used to express outer membrane protein K (Ompk),a conserved and effective vaccine candidate in vibrio.The identification of recombinant strains and detection of antigen genes were operated with PCR and RT-PCR,respectively.Results: The results of PCR showed that Lm-Ompk (L-O),Lm-Lmo0576-Ompk (L-L-O) and Lm-P-Ompk (L-P-O) were constructed successfully.The identity of foreign gene was 100% compared with sequence of NCBI.The analysis of transcription showed that the expressions of Ompk in L-O,L-L-O and L-P-O were significant (P<0.001).Moreover,the expression of Ompk in the condition of antibiotic was higher than that in the BHI without antibiotic (P<0.05).Conclusion: Lm-Ompk (L-O),Lm-Lmo0576-Ompk (L-L-O) and Lm-P-Ompk (L-P-O) were constructed successfully.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) under local anesthesia without using any contrast agent for abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients with high allergic risk to contrast agent.Methods Under local anesthesia and with no use of any contrast,percutaneous EVAR was performed in a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm who carried high allergic risk to contrast agent.Results Percutaneous EVAR was successfully accomplished.Postoperative follow-up MRI examination showed that the abdominal aortic aneurysm was completely isolated with no endoleak.The blood flow was unobstructed in the covered stent,and bilateral renal arteries were well visualized.Conclusion For the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients who are highly allergic to contrast agent and who have contraindications to general anesthesia,percutaneous EVAR performed under local anesthesia and using no contrast agent is safe and effective.Strict observation of indications and sufficient preoperative evaluation of clinical conditions is the key to ensure a successful operation.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 36 patients with FNH who had undergone surgery and were pathologically confirmed from May 2013 to Aug 2021 was made at the General Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.Results:There were 13 males and 23 females, with an average age of (35.9±15.3) years. 50% patients were asymptotic,21 cases (58.3%) were diagnosed as FNH by imaging before operation. All patients underwent surgical resection. There was no postoperative mortality.Pathology confirmed preoperative tentative diagnosis of FNH in all cases. The average follow-up time was 21.1 months, all patients were alive, and 1 patient had a relapse.Conclusions:FNH is a benign liver tumor like lesion. Surgery is suggested for cases suspected of tumor and the prognosis is good.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of congenital choledochal cysts (CCC).
Methods:
This retrospective study recruited 52 cases who were antenatally diagnosed with CCC and underwent surgical treatment after birth in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from January 2013 to August 2018, with complete clinical data. According to the enlargement of cysts during pregnancy, they were divided into two groups: progressive group (≥15 mm, 22) and stable group (<15 mm, 30). Antenatal and postpartum ultrasound and MRI features of the two groups were analyzed. Clinical manifestations and biochemical examination results before and after operation were compared between the two groups. Other data, including amylase level in cyst fluid during operation, cholangiography findings, liver biopsy results, and post-operation follow-up, were also analyzed.
