1.Application of enhanced recovery after surgery in pancreatic surgery
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(1):29-32
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) includes preoperative education,intraoperative effective anaesthetization,analgesia,precision surgical techniques and postoperative early rehabilitation.Because of special location of the pancreas,difficulty of surgical techniques,longtime of learning and high incidence of postoperative complications,the application of ERAS in pancreatic surgery is restricted.While ERAS could reduce the stress after surgery and the incidence of complications,promote the recovery of patients,shorten the duration of hospital stay and reduce the expenses,which are confirmed by clinical practice.ERAS is the trend of the development of pancreatic surgery.How to balance the optimal prognosis and speed recovery is need to be resolved by pancreatic surgeons.

This article was aimed to study the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine Kun-Bao-W an (KBW) on sleep disorders among ovariectomized mice. A total of 60 female KM of adult mice were randomly divided into four groups, which were the sham-operated group, model group, diazepam group, and KBW group, with 15 rats in each group. Rats in the sham-operated group were only removed small amount of fatty tissue around the ovaries. Bilateral oophorectomy was given on mice in other groups. In the KBW group, 28 days after the operation, KBW was intragastrically administered (1.667 g·kg-1) every day for 28 days. Mice in the diazepam group were intragas-trically administered (1.25 g·kg-1) 1 h before testing. The observation was made on effects of KBW on locomotor activity, sleeping time of mice induced by pentobarbital sodium and the organ coefficients of uterus. The results showed that compared with sham-operated group, locomotor activity and rearing behavior increased obviously in the model group (P < 0.01). The diazepam group can significantly reduce locomotor activity in ovariectomized mice (P < 0.01), and decrease the number of rearing behavior mildly with no statistical difference. KBW can reduce lo-comotor activity mildly but without effect on rearing behavior in ovariectomized mice. Diazepam can markedly pro-long the pentobarbital sleep time in ovariectomized mice (P < 0.01). KBW can prolong the pentobarbital sleep time and shorten the process of falling into sleep mildly with no statistical difference. There was no significant ef-fect on organ coefficients of uterus in ovariectomized mice by KBW or diazepam. It was concluded that KBW had mild effect on improving sleep disorders in ovariectomized mice.

This article was aimed to study the sedative and hypnotic effects of different eluents of Shuangxiatang (SXT). The effects of SXT water decoction, water eluent, 20%, 70% and 95% alcohol eluent on spontaneous ac-tivity and the sleeping induced by subthreshold dose of pentobarbital sodium were measured. The results showed that the SXT decoction, 20% and 95% alcohol eluent can significantly decrease the number of rearing in mice with the percentage of 78.5%, 78.3% and 62.5%, respectively. SXT water eluent and 70% alcohol eluent can significantly decrease the spontaneous activity of mice (P < 0.01), the number of rearing (P < 0.01) and grooming time (P < 0.05). SXT water decoction can significantly shorten sleep latency (P < 0.05), prolong sleep time (P <0.05), and increase rates of sleeping in mice. SXT water eluent can significantly shorten sleep latency in mice (P< 0.05), increase rates of sleeping in mice. SXT water decoction and water eluent have the sedative and hypnotic effects. And the effects are more than alcohol eluents.

Objective To analyze the relationship between age and the prognosis of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).Methods The clinical data of 102 patients with pNETs who were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 1999 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The properties of the tumors were determined by morphology and immunohistochemical staining of chromogranin A,synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase.Preoperative grading of the tumors was done by mitotic count and Ki67 proliferation index,and the staging of the tumors was done by ENETS TNM system.All patients were divided into younger group (age≤60 years,77 patients) and older group (age > 60 years,25 patients).The survival of the patients was estimated using the life table,and the survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method.The survival of the 2 groups was compared using the Log-rank test.Multivariate analysis was performed with the COX proportional hazards model.Results The median survival time was 139.8 months.The overall 1-,2-,5-,and 10-year survival rates were 96%,93%,90% and 80%,respectively.The postoperative survival time of patients in the younger group was significantly longer than that in the older group (x2 =4.717,P < 0.05 ).The prognosis of patients with higher tumor grades ( G2,G3) and higher TNM stages ( Ⅲ,Ⅳ ) in the older group was significantly poorer than those in the younger group ( x2 =11.158,5.375,P < 0.05 ).The results of multivariate analysis showed that age and major vascular invasion were the independent predictors for survival (RR =8.626,12.795,P <0.05 ).Conclusions Age above 60 years is an important independent factor influencing the prognosis of pNETs patients.Tumor grading and TNM staging are highly correlated with the prognosis of the pNETs patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence,characteristics and risk factors of fatigue in a large cohort of subjects with early Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods A total of 391 individuals with PD,recruited in Linzhi trial,were re-screened.Early,non-depressed subjects [Center for epidcmiological survey depression scale (CES-D)<16]underwent further fatigue assessment.Subjects who scored>4 on fatigue severity scale (FSS) were classified as fatigue.Motor symptoms and PD severity were assessed using the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn-Yahr scale.Other clinical measures,including sleep disorder by Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQ-Ⅰ),mental function by Alzheimer's Disease assessment scale-cognitive sections (ADAS-Cog) and quality of life by medical outcomes study short form 36 (SF- 36) were also evaluated.Results Among 204 subjects who completed fatigue measures,82 (40.2%) were classified as fatigue.The fatigue group had significantly more neurological impairment by higher scores on each subsets of UPDRS including mentation (P<0.05),activities of daily living (P<0.01) and motor (P<0.01),while the subjects with fatigue had worse scores on SF-36 (P<0.01).Multiple regression analyses showed that motor subset of UPDRS was the variable that had the predictive value for FSS score.The full model explained 6.4% of the variance of the FSSscore (β=0.039,95%CI:0.019-0.059).However,other factors,including levodopa dosage,PSQ-Ⅰ,and ADAS-Cog score did not significantly contribute to the model.Conclusions Fatigue is a frequent symptom in carly,non-depressed patients with PD,affecting over 40% of the patients in this cohort.The small correlation between fatigue and motor score,and the lack of association with dosage of dopaminergic treatment suggest that dopaminergic pathways might be only moderately involved in pathogenesis of fatigue.

Objective To investigate the impacts of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) on gastric emptying,postprandial blood glucose and insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Totally 30 T2DM patients and 10 healthy subjects (control group) were randomized to receive SDF-free liquid (500 ml,2092 kJ) and isocalorie SDF liquid (at β-glucan 7.5 g,500 ml,2092 kJ) on two separate days based on a Cross-over order.Gastric emptying was monitored by ultrasomography at intervals of 30 min for 2 hours.Fasting and postprandial blood samples were collected at intervals of 30-60 min for 180 min to determine blood glucose and insulin.Results The proximal gastric emptying was delayed in SDF both in T2DM group (P =0.001)and control group (P =0.037).SDF significantly decreased the area under the curve of postprandial glucose (P =0.001) and insulin (P =0.001) in T2DM group.Postprandial glucose (r=-0.547,P =0.047) and insulin (r =-0.444,P =0.030) had negative correlation with distal emptying of SDF in T2DM patients.The distal gastric emptying was delayed significantly in T2DM patients with HbAlc≥6.5% (n =13,P =0.021)by SDF.Conclusions SDF can improve the postprandial glucose level,which may be related with the delayed gastric emptying.T2DM patients with higher average blood glucose has remarkably delayed gastric emptying after the administration of SDF.
