Objective:To discuss the role of incision for short-term outcomes of simultaneous resection in synchronous colorec-tal liver metastases (sCRLM). Methods:We reviewed the data of 37 patients who underwent simultaneous resection between January 2009 and December 2014 in our department and compared the short-term outcomes between Mercedes and midline incisions. Results:Mercedes and midline incisions were used in 19 and 18 patients, respectively. The two groups showed similarities in patient characteris-tics, major hepatectomy, surgery time, blood loss, and hilar block time. The midline group comprised more rectal cancer patients (P<0.001). The two groups did not differ significantly in complication incidence (47.4%vs. 16.7%, P=0.08) and postoperative stay time (22.1 ± 9.5 d vs. 17.2 ± 6.7 d, P=0.08). At body mass index (BMI)<25, the complication incidence (P=0.046) and postoperative stay time (P=0.051) were lower in the midline group than in the Mercedes group. Conclusion:Midline incision provided similar exposure in simultaneous resection for sCRLM and was better than Mercedes incision in rectal cancer patients. Patients with midline incision may attain better short-term outcomes if BMI is<25.

Objective To ummarized the clinical characteristics of lactic acidosis combined with hypoglycemic coma,diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperkalemia,so to improve the physician's treatment ability by summary the clinical feature of lactic acidosis combined with hypoglycemic coma,diabetic ketosis and hyperkalemia.Methods Analyzed the clinical characteristics and disease development of one case with lactic acidosis combined with hypoglycemic coma,diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperkalemia,and reviewed literature.Results The patient had hypoglycemia and acidosis at the same time due to taking phenformin and glibenclamide.After 2 days,the patient was better through correcting acidosis,intravenous fluid therapy,lowering blood potassium and controlling blood glucose.Conclusion Because acidosis caused the potassium transfer from intracellular to extracellular,the latter leads to hyperpotassemia,lactic acidosis caused by phenformin should be treated with intravenous fluid therapy,correcting acidosis.

Aortic dissection is one of the most common vascular emergent disease. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) therapy which created the new era of treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) has gradually replaced the surgical treatment and becomes the gold standard for treatment of TBAD. Aortic remodeling after TEVAR is the key factor to evaluate the mid-term survival rate and successful treatment of the aortic dissection victims. However, there are few studies on aortic remodeling and lack of unified criteria to evaluate it. This article was to summarize the domestic and abroad research advances which focused on the morphological changes, the regularity, and the evaluation criteria of aorta remodeling after TEVAR.

Objective To explore the clinical value of uncinate process resection combined with portalsuperior mesenteric vein resection and end-to-end anastomosis in distal pancreatectomy.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 11 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy combined with portal-superior mesenteric vein resection and end-to-end anastomosis in the Peking University Cancer Hospital (8 patients) and Jilin Guowen Hospital (3 patients) between January 2014 to April 2018 were collected.During the vascular reconstruction,uncinate process of the pancreas was first resected for reducing anastomotic tension,and then end-to-end anastomosis was done after portal-superior mesenteric vein resection.Observation indicators:(1) intraoperative situations;(2) postoperative recovery situations;(3) postoperative pathological examination situations;(4) follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and imaging examination was performed to detect patients' postoperative survival,tumor recurrence and metastasis and postoperative venous anastomotic patency up to May 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).The non-recurrence and non-metastasis survival curve,overall survival curve and survival rate were respectively drawn and calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.Results (1) Intraoperative situations:11 patients received uncinate process resection of the pancreas,and successfully underwent distal pancreatectomy combined with portal-superior mesenteric vein resection and end-to-end anastomosis.Eight patients underwent distal pancreatectomy + Appleby combined with celiac axis resection due to pancreatic tumor involving common hepatic artery,including 2 undergoing combined total gastrectomy due to gastric ischemia;2 patients underwent distal pancreatectomy;1 patient underwent distal pancreatectomy + distal gastrectomy due to blood supply obstacle of distal stomach.Operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 11 patients were (5.8± 1.1) hours and 800 mL (range,200-2 500 mL).(2) Postoperative recovery situations:there was no grade C of pancreatic fistula of 11 patients.Four patients had grade B of pancreatic fistula,including 2 were cured by drainage-tube indwelling of pancreatic wound ＞ 3 weeks,1 was cured by continous washing due to pancreatic fistula combined with infection,and 1 was cured by the second abdominal puncture drainage due to pancreatic fistula with fever;1 of 4 patients was combined with grade C of delayed gastric emptying and cured by conservative treatment,and other 3 patients didn't occur postoperative complications.Of 5 patients diagnosed as biochemical fistula,1 had esophagus-jejunum anastomotic leakage,and 1 had changes of hepatic ischemia in S2,S3 and S4b segments by CT examination and recovered normal liver function at 2 weeks postoperatively,with long-term hepatatrophia in S2 and S3 segments.There was no postoperative death and reoperation in 11 patients.Duration of postoperative hospital stay of 11 patients was (22± 5) days.(3) Postoperative pathological examination results:tumors of 11 patients were located in neck and body of the pancreas,with a maximum diameter of (4.8± 1.7)cm.Among 11 patients,10 were confirmed with moderate-or low-differentiated ductal adenocarcinoma and 1 with anaplastic carcinoma.The length of portal-superior mesenteric vein resection of 11 patients was (2.6± 0.8) cm.Seven of 11 patients occurred different degrees of tumor infiltration in the portal-superior mesenteric vein,and other 4 patients occurred inflammatory adhesion,without tumor infiltration.(4) Follow-up and survival situations:11 patients were followed up for 3.0-37.6 months,with a median time of 15.7 months.During the follow-up,8 patients died of tumor recurrence and /or metastasis,and 3 survived;the non-recurrence and non-metastais survival time and overall survival time were respectively 9.0 months (range,3.0-37.6 months) and 24.6 months (range,3.0-37.6 months).One patient was complicated with anastomotic stenosis and surrounding varices of portal-superior mesenteric vein by postoperative half-year reexamination,anastomotic vein anomalies and venous thrombosis were not found in other patients before local tumor recurrence and / or death.Conclusion The combined uncinate process resection of the pancreas cannot increase the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula,and it could effectively reduce the anastomotic tension in the distal pancreatectomy combined with portal-superior mesenteric vein resection and reconstruction,meanwhile,it can also achieve end-to-end anastomosis after longer vein resection.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sports injury that has a significant impact on knee function and patients′ mobility. With the popularity of national fitness campaign in China, the incidence of ACL injury is increasing year by year. Currently, there still lacks clinical standards or guidelines on how to choose appropriate treatment methods, surgical plans and rehabilitation protocols for ACL injury. In order to timely reflect the new treatment concept of ACL injury, standardize its diagnosis and treatment and improve the curative effect, the Sports Medicine Society of Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized domestic orthopedic and sports medicine experts to formulate the "clinical evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury (2022 version)" based on the level of evidence-based medicine and in compliance with the principle of scientificity, practicability and advancement. The present guideline includes 12 recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of ACL injury in order to provide guidance and assistance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ACL injury in China.

BACKGROUNDThe management of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversial due to the early recurrence after curative hepatectomy, and many variables were related to the prognosis. The purpose of this study was to predict the tumor recurrence in early postoperative period of the patients with BCLC stage B HCC.

METHODSFrom January 2004 to January 2012, 104 patients with BCLC stage B HCC underwent hepatectomy. Clinicopathological factors and follow-up data were statistically analyzed to establish a predicting scoring system.

RESULTSThe overall survival rates for one, three, and five years were 69.2%, 52.7%, and 42.3%, and the disease-free survival rates for one, three, and five years were 52.9%, 47.3%, and 37.5%, respectively. The multiple factors analysis showed that the micro-vessel invasion, lymph nodes metastasis, multiple lesions, and the high expression of HMGB1 were independent factors (P < 0.05). A scoring system was established to predict the early recurrence within one year after the surgery for BCLC stage B HCC, according to the analysis results with a specificity of 85.1% and a sensitivity of 80.3%.

CONCLUSIONVariant clinicopathological factors were associated with early postoperative recurrence for BCLC stage B HCC and recurrence early after hepatectomy was more likely in patients with a higher score of the scoring system.
