Objective To study the feasibility of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods From August 2006 to May 2007,31 patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy(radical distal gastrectomy in 26 cases and radical total gastrectomy in 5).Results Among the cases,1 was converted to an open surgery,2 were treated completely by laparoscopic radical gastrectomy;and in the other 28 cases,the radical gastrectomy was performed under the assistance of laparoscopy.Lymph node dissection of D1+? was performed on 2 patients and D2/D2+ was adopted in the other 29.One case was done in combination with partial liver dissection.The median operative time was 5 h(range 4.5-7 h).The median blood loss was 150 ml(range,100-600 ml).One patient received blood transfusion during the operation.Intraoperative spleen injury occurred in one case.The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 20(range,14-33).No patient died after the surgery.The median time for gastrointestinal function recovery was 4 d(range 3-6 d).One patient developed gastroparalysis after the operation and was cured by conservative therapy.One of the patients had bleeding of the jejunal pouch after total gastrectomy.And one showed subluxation of the articulatio cricothyroideus.No anastomotic leakage and lung infection occurred after the surgery.And no recurrence or metastasis was found during a 2-to 8-month follow-up(median,5).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is feasible and safe.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic total/subtotal proctocolectomy. Methods Laparoscopic total/subtotal proctocolectomy was performed in 8 cases from March 2003 to November 2005, including 1 case of multiple colorectal tumors, 3 cases of ulcerative colitis, 2 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis, and 2 cases of slow transit constipation. The operation included ileal pouch-anal canal anastomosis in 3 cases, ileal pouch-rectum anastomosis in 3 cases, and cecum-rectum anastomsis in 2 cases. A prophylactic ileostomy was conducted in 5 cases. Results The operation was laparoscopically conducted in all the 8 cases, without conversions to open surgery. No fatal case was encountered. The operative time was 5.5~7.5 h (median, 6 h). The intraoperative blood loss was 150~400 ml (median, 200 ml). There was no intra- or post-operative blood transfusion. The patients began to take diet at 48 h postoperatively. Follow-up observations in 8 cases for 4~31 months (median, 25 months) showed 1 case of intraabdominal infection and 1 case of anastomsis stenosis. Conclusions Laparoscopic total/subtotal proctocolectomy is safe and feasible.

Objective To observe the neural protective subsidiary effect of Wenyang Yiqi method on patients with severe traumatic brain injury under mild hypothermia therapy.Methods A prospective study was conducted in which 53 patients with severe traumatic brain injury treated by mild hypothermia were randomly divided into control group (26 cases) and observation group (27 cases). All the patients in the two groups received conventional western treatment combined with mild hypothermia therapy. In the observation group, additionally was given the representative drug of Wenyang Yiqi method, Shenfu injection 100 mL mixed into 5% glucose 500 mL intravenous drip once a day. At the end of mild hypothermia, the Shenfu injection was stopped. After treatment, the changes of intracranial pressure (ICP) on 1 (the day the treatment began), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days and the indexes levels, including S-100B, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatinkinase (CK) in the cranial spinal fluid (CSF) before treatment and 2, 4, 6 days after treament (CSF) were observed. The Glasgow coma score (GCS) before treament and 3, 5, 7, 14, 28 days after treament, and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) on 28 days and 3 months after treatment were recorded, and the incidences of complications were calculated at the end of therapy.Results After treatment with the prolongation of therapeutic time, the levels of ICP were gradually increased in two groups and reached the peak values on the 4th day, then beganto fall, and on the 5th day it was significantly lower in observation group than that in control group [ICP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 16.11±1.23 vs. 18.73±1.42], persisting the same situation to the 7th day (14.17±0.80 vs. 16.94±1.00,P < 0.05). The levels of S-100 B in the two groups were progressively decreased after the treatment, on the 2nd day it was significantly lower in observation group than that in control group (μg/L: 1.21±0.43 vs. 1.86±0.57, P < 0.05), also persisting to the 6th day (0.40±0.09 vs. 0.94±0.15,P < 0.05); the levels of LDH and CK reached the peak values on the 2nd day, then began to fall, they were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group on the 4th day [LDH (U/L): 63.43±12.21 vs. 80.11±14.34, CK (U/L): 52.41±14.14 vs. 88.37±12.21, bothP < 0.05], and on the 6th day still there were statistically significant differences between the two groups. The GCS before treatment showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the GCS score of the two groups was progressively improved, and on the 14th day the score in the observation group began significantly higher than that in the control group (11.74±1.24 vs. 9.41±2.11,P < 0.05), persisting the same situation to the 28th day (12.68±2.51 vs. 10.67±1.99,P < 0.05). On the 28th day after treatment, the GOS showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (2.35±0.16 vs. 2.43±0.22,P > 0.05), but the score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group after treatment for 3 months (4.11±0.38 vs. 3.72±0.41, P < 0.05). The incidences of complications in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [respiratory failure: 25.9% (7/27) vs. 50.0% (13/26), shock: 18.5% (5/27) vs. 53.8% (14/26), acute pulmonary edema: 14.8% (4/27) vs. 30.8% (8/26), stress ulcer: 22.2% (6/27) vs. 57.7% (15/26), hypoproteinemia: 40.7% (11/27) vs. 73.1% (19/26), allP < 0.05].Conclusion Wenyang Yiqi method has the subsidiary neural protective effect on patients with severe traumatic brain injury treated by mild hypothermia, and can improve their outcome.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoscope assisted microincision cholelithotomy(EMC) in the treatment of gallstone. Methods The clinical data of 86 patients with gallbladder stone treated by EMC were analyzed retrospectively.Of them, 63 cases were follwed-up and studied. Results All eighty-six patients were successfully operated on and discharged, no operative complications occurred. Among 63 patient being followed up for 1～3 years,the recurrence rate of gallbladder stones was 3.2%(2/63). No recurrence was noted in 46 patients with single gallstone. In the other seventeen patients with multiple stones, gallstone recurrence was found in 2 patients, the recurrence rate was 11.8%(2/17). Conclusions If selection of the operation idications are strict, endoscope assisted microincision cholelithotomy for treatment of gallstone is simple, safe, effective and less trauma, and can preserves the function of gallbladder, but it can not replace the cholecystectomy.

Objective: To explore the effects of the bi-directional referral system from the perspective of the medical service consumer.Methods: A balanced panel data which was adjusted by Propensity Score Matching was employed to evaluate the effects of two-way referral system using difference-in-difference (DID) for the 2013 and 2015 data.The evaluation indicators including actual cost sharing ration, out-of-pocket cost per unit, the possibility of high cost, annual inpatient visits and length of hospital stay per unit were used.Results: Compared with the control group, the two-way referral system resulted in an 11.3% (P<0.001) increase in actual cost sharing ratio and an increase of 0.710 (P<0.001) annual inpatient visits in the intervention group.However, the policy did not significantly reduce the possibility of high-cost medical expenses and reduce the length of hospitalization and the annual cost hospitalization.Conclusion: Based on the key findings of the analysis of this study, the two-way referral system has beneficial effects on reducing inpatient financial burden and optimizing resource allocation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of via-anal preoperative depression with assistance of colonoscopy and primary stage laparoscopic cancer resection and anastomosis for the treatment of malignant obstruction of left-sided colon. Methods Eleven cases of malignant left-sided colonic obstruction were treated from December 2004 to August 2007 by this modality.With the help of colonoseopy and the guiding of radiography,ileus tube was inserted into the proximal bowel of the obstructive site via anus.We used the tubes to decompress the dilated bowel.Patient's symptom,bowel sounds,abdominal girth,intra-abdominal pressure,plain abdominal radiograph were observed.After the relief of bowel obstruction,elective laparoseopic colorectal resection and anastomosis was accomplished in one stage with routine preoperative preparation.Results After 5～14 days of depression by ileus tube,the relief of bowel obstruction was achieved in all these patients hence emergency operation wag avoided.Elective first-staged laparoseopic resection and anastomosis was performed in all 11 cases.The complications such as anastomotic leakage and incisional/abdominal cavity infection were not observed.After an average 15.2-month fouow up,local recurrence rate,incisional or port implantation rate,and tunlor-free survival rate were 9%,0 and 91% respectively. Conclusions First-staged laparoscopic resection and anastomosis assisted by preoperative colonoscopic depression in malignant left-sided colonic obstruction is a safe and effective procedure.

Objective To study how to decrease the hospital cost of liver transplants. Methods Fifty-four(patients) who underwent liver transplantation at our hospital within 2 years were analyzed retrospectively. The hospital costs of the patients with different liver function before operation, the costs of the(ICU-dependent), as well as the costs of the non-survival group with the survival group were analyzed and compared. Results The average hospital cost of all the patients was about 340 000 yuan. The cost of(pharmacy), anesthesia,(disposable)(materials), transfusion and laboratory tests accounted for 86.9 percent. The(average) cost of Child grade C(patients) was about 410 000 yuan, was 130 000 yuan higher than that of grade A or B patients. The cost of the ICU-dependent was 240 000 yuan greater than that of the(ICU-independent). The(non-survival) group incurred an average cost of 130 000 yuan higher than the(survival) group. Conclusions For decreasing the hospital cost of liver transplants significantly,it is best to encouraging the patients to receive(liver)(transplants) under good conditions.
