Objective:To evaluate liver quadrate lobectomy combined with large-bore cholangio-jejunostomy for the treatment of benign biliary-enteric anastomotic stricture.Methods:The clinical data of 32 patients undergoing liver quadrate lobectomy combined with large-caliber cholangio-jejunostomy were retrospectively analyzed. The bile drainage effect and postoperative complications were analyzed. And the clinical effects of different size of biliary-enteric anastomosis were compared.Results:The most common short-term complications were cholangitis (9.4%) and bile leakage (9.4%), and the most common long-term complications were reflux cholangitis (15.6%). No anastomotic restenosis, stone formation or canceration were found. During the follow-up period, the total bilirubin ( t=19.455, P=0.000), direct bilirubin ( t=18.479, P=0.000), alkaline phosphatase ( t=3.229, P=0.002) and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase ( t=3.057, P=0.003) level were significantly improved. The effect of bile drainage in patients with 2-3 cm diameter of biliary-enteric anastomosis was similar to that in patients with >3 cm diameter ( t=0.284, P=0.778). The incidences of cholangitis (χ 2=0.121, P=0.728), bile leakage (χ 2=0.121, P=0.728) and reflux cholangitis (χ 2=0.205, P=0.652) were no statistical difference in both groups. Conclusion:Liver quadrate lobectomy combined with large-caliber cholangio-jejunostomy is effective in the treatment of benign biliary-enteric anastomotic stricture. More than 2cm in diameter of the biliary-enteric anastomosis is enough.

Objective To investigate the effect and its molecular mechanism of phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) mediated pyroptosis on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Methods C57 mouse models of liver IRI were established and randomly divided into the 6 h reperfusion (6 h group) and 12 h reperfusion (12 h group), and sham operation group (sham group) was established too, 10 rats in each group. The effect of IRI on the parameters in the liver tissues and serum samples was evaluated. The expression levels of PGAM5 and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase (Caspase)-1 in the liver tissues during IRI were quantitatively detected. The IRI models of liver cells were established (IRI group). The IRI models of liver cells were established after pretreatment with Caspase-1 inhibitor Z-YVAD-FMK (inhibitor group). The untreated AML12 cells were allocated into the control group. The effect of inhibiting Caspase-1 activity on pyroptosis was analyzed. AML12 cells were transfected with PGAM5 small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) (siRNA group) and siRNA-negative control (siRNA-NC) (siRNA-NC group) by liposome 3000, and then IRI models of liver cells were established. The untreated AML12 cells were assigned into the control group. The effect of PGAM5 mediated pyroptosis on IRI of liver cells was assessed. Results In the 6 h and 12 h groups, partial liver cell edema, hepatic sinusoid narrowing, central vein congestion and occasional spot necrosis were observed in the mouse liver tissues, and these changes in the 12 h group were more aggravated than those in the 6 h group. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the 6 h and 12 h groups were higher than those in the sham group, and the values in the 12 h group were higher than those in the 6 h group. The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-
