1.Multidisciplinary approach to acute massive gastrointestinal bleeding caused by Dieulafoy's lesion
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2012;(11):916-919
Objective To explore the multidisciplinary treatment for acute massive gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding caused by Dieulafoy's lesion.Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with Dieulafoy's lesions treated at our hospital from April 2007 to April 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 48 patients,40 were males and 8 were females,with a mean age of 46.7 years (range 21 -52 years).Accurate diagnosis was established by emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, angiography and emergency laparotomy.Results The most common location of the bleeding Dieulafoy's lesion was at the body of stomach (40 cases),followed by the cardia (4 cases),the duodenum (2 cases) and the jejunum (2 cases ),with most lesions being located in the upper part of the stomach within 6 cm of the gastroesophageal junction.Correct diagnosis was made by endoscopy in 46 patients and by emergency laparotomy in 2 cases.Of the 18 patients initially treated endoscopically epinephrine injection and endoscopic hemoclips,2 cases needed angiography to identify the source of bleeding and were cured by transcatheter arterial embolization.23 patients underwent surgical therapy.In this series,47 cases were cured,1 patient died of hypovolaemic shock and multi-organ failure during the hospital stay.Average length hospital stay was (10.8 ± 2.5 ) d.Conclusions Dieulafoy' s lesion is less common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding.Endoscopy plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment.Topical epinephrine injection and haemoclipping may cure the patients,if it fails angiography and embolization provides a therapy.Most patients may need a laparotomy and surgery as a decisive measure.

Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2015;24(10):1143-1146
Objective To explore the rapid diagnosis and the rational chice of the first-line agents for acute aortic dissection (AAD) in the emergency department.Methods The clinical data of 360 patients with AAD treated at our hospital from March 2007 to March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Of them,338 patients with suspected AAD were examined by chest radiography,trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE),and computed tomography angiography (CTA) successively.The reliabilities of results from each diagnostic method were verified by the gold standard of intra-operative findings and the comparisons of their diagnostic potential were carried out.Results The preoperative diagnostic sensitivity of chest radiography,TTE and CTA in the assessment of AAD were 64%,77% and 100%,respectively;the specificity is 86%,90% and 100%,respectively;the accuracy rats were 70%,78% and 100%,respectively;the positive predictive values were 93%,99% and 100%,respectively;the negative predictive values were 46%,27% and 100%,respectively.In the work-up of any patient with suspected AAD,the emergency bedside non-invasive TTE or computed tomography was the first-line initial diagnostic screening,and the best method for the accurate diagnosis of AAD was CTA.Medical management included pain control and deliberate hypotension therapy by using rapidly short-acting vasodilator and beta blockers to lower heart rate,and the hibernation therapy in small dose of specific agents might serve as a useful adjuvant method,and the early combination of vasodilatation medicines was better than the single one.Of them,242 patients fortunately survived on treatment,and 42 died of hypovolemic shock after rupture of AAD and multiorgan failure.Conclusions Acute aortic dissection is the most potentially life-threatening cardiovascular disease,though it is extremely rare in the hypertensive patients,attending doctors should pay more attention.Early rapid diagnosis is the key to AAD treatment.The best method for correctly diagnosing AAD is complementary use of TTE,CTA and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).Correct and timely diagnosis and strictly deliberate hypotension treatment are the essential determinant of decreasing mortality and improving prognosis of AAD.

Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2017;32(5):410-414
Objective To evaluate the application value of anterior approach right hepatectomy using the liver hanging maneuver for severe blunt liver trauma.Methods Clinical data of 63 patients with severe blunt liver trauma undergoing right hepatectomy in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,31 patients received anterior approach right hepatectomy (anterior approach group,31 cases) while the others did conventional right hepatectomy (conventional approach group,32 cases).Clinical data,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative alanine transaminase (ALT) at POD3,postoperative morbidity and mortality in both groups were analyzed and compared.Results There were eight surgical deaths,one in the anterior approach group and seven in the conventional approach group.All the 31 cases underwent anterior approach right hepatectomy successfully using the liver hanging maneuver.The mean intraoperative blood loss (768 ± 231) ml vs.(1 264 ± 1 248) ml (P < 0.05),postoperative hepatic function ALT value at POD3 (155 ± 89) U/L vs.(689 ± 67) U/L (P < 0.05),postoperative morbidity and mortality of the anterior approach group were markedly superior to conventional approach group (12.9% vs.34.4%,3.2% vs.21.9%,all P < 0.05).Conclusions Anterior approach right hepateetomy using the liver hanging maneuver has advantages of decreased intraoperative blood loss,less hepatic function compromise,reduced postoperative morbidity and mortality compared to conventional approach right hepatectomy in cases of severe right liver blunt trauma.
4.Emergency one-stage intestinal resection and tension-free hernioplasty for acutely strangulated inguinal hernia complicating intestinal necrosis in 58 cases
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2015;30(8):620-622
Objective To evaluate the validity and surgical outcome of emergency one-stage intestinal resection and tension-free hernioplasty for acutely strangulated inguinal hernia complicated with intestinal necrosis.Methods Clinical data of 58 patients diagnosed strangulated inguinal hernia and intestinal necrosis in our hospital from July 2011 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 58 patients,33 were males and 25 were females,mean age of (64 ± 18) years (range 52-86).There were 28 strangulated inguinal and 30 femoral hernias undergoing emergency small bowel resection and tension-free mesh hernioplasty.Patients with intestinal perforations,preoperative peritonitis,inflammatory hernia and those who required colon resections were excluded from the study.Results The mean operative time was (92 ± 22) min (range,80-120 min).Average length of hospital stay was (8.6 ± 2.5) d (range,6-21 d).There were three postoperative c omplications (5.2%):one of subcutaneous hematoma,one of superficial surgical site infection and one of scrotal fluid collection,which were all cured by wound dressing,removal of infected prosthetic mesh,vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) and continuous irrigation,intravenous antibiotics and scrotal puncture.During a follow-up period of 6 to 32 months (mean 12 ± 6 months),there was no hernia recurrence.Conclusions Emergency one-stage intestinal resection and tension-free mesh hernioplasty for strangulated inguinal hernia complicated by intestinal necrosis is safe,feasible with a favourable outcome and low rate of postoperative complications.

7.Re-differentiating therapy of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer
China Oncology 2016;(1):35-42
Clinical management of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RR-DTC) is extremely diffcult. Re-differentiation compounds, such as retinoids, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists, DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors, have been used in trials to increase iodine uptake in RR-DTC. However, data on these drugs failed to meet the initial high expectations. In recent years, targeted agents have been increasingly used in pre-clinical and clinical studies to induce re-differentiation and mediate131I therapy, and the outcomes are encouraging.
