Objective　To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive jaundice (OJ) caused by hepatocellular cacinoma (HCC) invasion to bile duct. Methods　The diagnosis and treatment of 16 cases of OJ caused by HCC in our hospital from January 1989 to December 1998 were retrospectively analysed. Results　Correct diagnosis was made in 2 cases and misdiagnosis in 14 cases preoperatively. 14 cases were operated on, including hepatectomy, enucleation of the tumor in the common bile duct (CBD) and T tube drainage in 2 cases; enucleation of the tumor in CBD and internal stent of T tube drainage in 11 cases; tumor biopsy and T tube drainage in 2 cases; one case died without operation. 15 cases were followed-up for 1 to 14 months postoperatively. The results demonstrated that 14 patients died within 6 months, and only 1 case remained alive for 14 months after operation. Conclusions　The correct diagnosis of this disease could be made for the patients with jaundice accompanied with positive of HbsAg and AFP, local lesions in the liver and the dilated bile duct. B-US, CT, PTC and ERCP are the main examination methods for the diagnosis. The best treatment of this kind of HCC is to remove the hepatic tumor and to recanalize the affected bile ducts.

Objective To investigate the causes,prevention and management principles of postoperative recurrence of Budd Chiari syndrome(BCS).Methods The clinical data of 223 postoperative recurrence BCS patients were analyzed retrospectively,including type Ia in 66 cases,type Ib in 48 cases,type II in 57 cases , type IIIa in 28 cases,and type IIIb in 24 cases. Of them,36 patients underwent two or more operations .Results Secondary operations were all successful.No patient died in the perioperative period. One hundred and eighty two patients were followed up for 6 months to 10 years.In 89.6% of the patients,the results were successful,but the recurrence rate after the reoperation was 6.0%,and 8 patients died postoperatively .Conclusions The main recurrent causes are that indications are not correctly selected and the operative technique is not correct. Correct classification,reasonable selection of the operation method, and adopting an interruptive,matress,and eversive suture for blood vessels anastomosis in the operation are important to prevent the recurrence of BCS.

Objective To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment for solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT). Methods A retrospective clinical analysis about clinical, imaging and pathologic data was made on 16 cases of SPT admitted from January 2005 to December 2009. Results Five had SPT in the head of the pancreas, 5 in the body of the pancreas, 6 in the tail of the pancreas. The first symptom was intermittent epigastric pain ( n = 7), abdominal aponia mass ( n = 3), Pancreatic tumor found by chance (n =4), weight loss (n =2). Solid and Solid-cystic masses of low echo were found in US. Masses of low density in pancreas were found on CT scan, while irregular enhancement appeared in the circumference of all tumors in enhanced CT scan sequences. Tumor markers in patients' erum were all negative.9 patients underwent distal pancreatectomy and spleen resection, including 1 patient also underwent left hemicolectomy. Local excision of tumor was performed in 4 cases. Pancreatic local excision and pancreaticojejunostomy were performed in 3 cases. 14 cases were followed up with an period of from 3 to 48 months. No evidence of relapses and metastasis in these cases was found. Conclusion SPT primarily affects young women, and it may be located in any part of pancreas. Surgical resection is recommended as the treatment of choice. The prognosis is good.

Objective To study the methods for diagnosis and treatment of insulinoma.Methods The clinical data of 120 patients with insulinoma who had been admitted to our hospital in the last 40 years were retrospectively reviewed.Results Fasting blood glucose values were less than 2.75 mmol/L in all the patients.Fasting serum insulin values in 75 patients were higher than 25 ?U/mL,and the average was (65 ?6.0)?U/mL.Before operation,tumor was detected in 2 of 60 patients by ultrasound scan,and in 10 of 50 by CT. Among 18 patients who had intra-operative B-ultrasound examination, 16 positive cases were verified by intraoperative exploration; and one case the tumor was not palpable but was found by intraoperative B-ultrasound examination.The operations included enucleation of insulinoma(70 patients),insulinoma resection and distal resection of the pancreas(44),distal resection of the pancreas(4),and biopsy(2).The low blood glucose symptoms disappeared after the first operation in 111 of the 112 patients who had benign tumor.One case with benign tumor was cured by a second operation.Twenty patients developed pancreatic fistula after tumor enacleation, of them,14 healed uneventfully after drainage,5 were cured by operation,and 1 died of peritoneal infection.Conclusions Preoperative localization of insulinomas is difficult. Intraoperative exploration and ultrasound scan are the chief methods for the localization of insulinoma.Enucleation of insulinoma should be selected for benign tumor. Resections of the pancreatic body and tail is required for large,deep or multiple tumors.

Objective To investigate the treatment of severe Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) . Methods The clinical data of 95 patients with severe BCS from November 1994 to June 1999 were retrospectively analyzed . Results Mesocaval C shunt with artificial graft was performed in 51 cases , splenojugular shunt with artificial graft in 23 cases ,mesojuglar shunt with artificial graft in l case , percutaneous transhepatic recanalization and dilation and/or stent placement of main hepatic vein (MHV) in 10 case, and combined PTA and stent placement of inferior vena cava (IVC) and mesocaval shunt in 10 cases . 5～60 months follow-up showed excellent result in 65 patients , good results in 25 and 5 cases dead. Conclusions Good results could be obtained by most of the severe BCS patients treated by different procedures according to the pathological changes of IVC and main hepatic vein.

Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and management of insulinoma. Methods From January 1966 to December 2007, the clinical data of 131 patients with insulinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Results All the 131 cases had Whipple triad syndrome and 64 eases suffered from psychoneurosis symptoms. The fasting blood glucose or insultus blood glucose concentration of all the cases was lower than 2.8 mmol/L. The ratios of serum insulin to glucose were all higher than 0.3. Before operation, tumor was detected in 8 of 75 patients by B-us scan, and in 17 of 68 by CT, and in 5 of 10 by MRI. The intraoperative ultrasonography(IOUS) was applied in 44 eases, and tumor was found in 43 cases. Surgery included enucleation of insulinoma (88 cases), resection of the corpus and eauda of the pancreas (40 cases), duodenopancreatectomy (2 cases), and biopsy (1 case). The low blood glucose symptoms disappeared postoperatively in 130 cases. Pancreatic fistulae occurred in 20 cases, acute pancreatitis occurred in 32 cases. Conclusions Insulinoma can be diagnosed based on symptoms of Whipple triad and the ratio of serum insulin to glucose. Exploration and IOUS are the simple and effective methods to localize insulinoma.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of artificial blood vessel sheath around re-nal vein for the treatment of left renal vein entrapment syndrome. Methods Eight cases with left re-nal vein entrapment syndrome (7 males and 1 female, mean age, 16 years) with history of gross hema-turia for 6 to 36 months were reviewed. Doppler ultrasound reports suggested compression of the left renal vein at mesenteric angle in all eases. CT scan showed the abnormal angle between aorta and su-perior mesenterie artery in 5 cases. Cystscopy showed hematuria from the left ureteral orifice in 5 ca-ses. All cases with left renal vein entrapment syndrome were treated ,with the method of putting artifi-cial blood vessel as a sheath around left renal vein. Results The operations were all successful. The average operation time was 150 min, the average blood loss was 50 ml, and the average hospital stay after operation was 9 d. No surgical complications occurred. The gross hcmaturia disappeared in 6 ca-ses and Doppler ultrasound showed that left renal vein outflow was normal in 7 when the patients dis-charged from the hospital. The gross hematuria disappeared during 2-24 months' follow-up in 7 pa-tients. Conclusions The surgical aim of renal vein entrapment syndrome is to reduce the compres-sion of renal vein. The method of putting artificial blood vessel around renal vein could be a simple, safe and effective method.

Objective To set up a standard for surgical classification of cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) and their management strategy according to the classification.Methods The clinical data of 63 CTPV cases were analyzed retrospectively,the classification and the corresponding treatment strategy were evaluated.Results According to the imaging examination,surgical treatment and long-term follow-up,CTPV was classified into four types:Type Ⅰ:cavernous transformation involving main trunk of the portal vein and intrahepatic branches.Portasystemic shunt (mesocaval and splenocaval shunt)(or plus port-azygous devascularization) were used for this type;Type Ⅱ:cavernous transformation in the main trunk and proximal SV or SMV.Portasystemic shunt (mesocaval and splenocaval shunt) or plus portazygous devascularization were applied;Type Ⅲ:cavernous transformation involving the whole portal system.Portopulmonary shunt (splenopneumopexy) or inferior mesenteric-caval shunt plus port-azygous devascularization were suggested;Type Ⅳ:any types aforementioned accompanied by biliary and /or pancreatic abnormalities.The treatment should focus on main symptoms and two-stage operation.Conclusions Doppler ultrasound and multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) three dimensional (3D) reconstruction are the mainstay for the diagnosis of CTPV;Correct diagnosis,classification as well as individualized management are of great importance in the treatment of adult CTPV.

Objective To investigate the expression of CYP2W1 in gastric cancer and its effect on proliferation and invasion.Methods CYP2W1 protein expression in 326 gastric cancertissues and in the corresponding normal gastric mucosa was measured by immunohistochemstry.The expression of CYP2W1 mRNA in 10 randomly chosen gastric cancer tissues and its corresponding normal gastric mucosa was tested by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.4 groups pairs of gastric cancer and normal gastric mucosa cell lines were constructed.CYP2W1 expression in each of the cell line was tested.The effect of CYP2W1 expression on the proliferation and invasion capacity of the gastric cancer cells was studied by MTT experiment and transwell cell experiment.Results Expression of CYP2W1 protein in the gastric cancer tissues is higher than that in normal gastric mucosa (26.7％ vs.0,x2 =100.396,P ＜ 0.05).CYP2W1 mRNA in the gastric cancer tissues is higher than that in normal gastric mucosa [(0.413 ± 0.026) vs.(0.074 ± 0.005),t =28.115,P ＜ 0.05].CYP2W1 protein expression in the gastric cancer cell lines is higher than that in normal gastric mucosa cell lines [(0.481 ± 0.024) vs.0,t =49.097,P ＜ 0.05].The growth capacity of CYP2W1 positive gastric cancer cell is stronger than that of CYP2W1 negative cells (P ＜ 0.05),and CYP2W1 positive gastric cancer cells are also more of invasiveness,[(63 ±8) vs.(18 ±3),t =24.134,P ＜0.05].Conclusions CYP2W1 is only expressed in the gastric cancer tissues,hence it is closely related to the growth multiplication,and invasiveness of gastric cancer cells.
