1.Causes and counter measures of reoperation for biliary diseases
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2012;11(5):411-413
The reoperation for biliary diseases is usually unplanned, and the major reasons leading to this situation include:(1) The initial operation was performed under emergency situation and radical procedure could not be carried out.(2) The surgical procedure was inadequate.( 3 ) The operator was unqualified for the operation. In order to avoid repeated operations,the following principles must be obeyed strictly.Firstly,once the initial operation was failed,the patients must be transferred to large medical center and the reoperation must be performed by hepatobiliary specialists.Secondly,the operator must realize that most of the patients were in poor condition because of the previous operation,and they needed careful evaluation of organ function and adequate supportive treatment before reoperation.Thirdly,various measures must be taken to avoid unplanned operation and ensure the successful implement of radical operation at a time:( 1 ) Operator must learn all the details of previous operation,which include operation procedure,findings during operation and postoperative complications.( 2 ) Cholangiogram of the whole biliary tree is important for surgical planning,ultrasonography,computed tomography (CT),endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography,magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC),or PTC-CT should be performed solely or comprehensively to determine the nature and location of lesions.For bile duct injury,additional examination including CT angiography,magnetic resonance angiography or digital subtraction angiography is necessary to ascertain the accompanied vessel injury.(3) Making individual surgical procedure according to patien's condition and distribution of lesions.

Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2015;21(4):281-283
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant disease in the main left or right hepatic ducts,ductus hepaticus communis or their confluence.The treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma remains a challenge because of the aggressive nature of the disease and the absence of effective treatments besides surgical resection.Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is diagnosed by its clinical manifestations,tumor markers and results of imaging studies.Problems as the necessity of preoperative hepatic bile drainage and decision making of proper treatment remain controversial.Here,we will review the current advances in the management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,so as to provide theoretical basis and new ideas for clinical treatment.

AIM: Tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) participates in the establishment of inflammatory lesions in pneumonia.High production of TNF-? may relate to the severity of pneumonia.There have already been several studies examining the association between pneumonia and single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) that affect cytokine productivity.SNPs of TNF-?,-1 031,-863,-857,-308 and-238 have been identified.The variant alleles of these SNPs have suggested to be related to high TNF-? production and the severity of pneumonia.Therefore,the aim of this study is to examine the association between the severity of pneumonia in Chinese and the following SNPs: five in the TNF-? gene promoter(-1 031,-863,-857,-308,-238).METHODS: A total of 117 Chinese individuals were enrolled in this study.They were 67 patients with pneumonia and 50 healthy subjects.TNF-? was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism for all subjects.The frequency distributions of genotypes in different groups were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 program.RESULTS: Frequency of subjects who carried at least one variant allele in TNF-?-1 031,-863,-857,-308,-238 SNPs among pneumonia patients was significantly higher than that in healthy subjects.And frequency of subjects who carried variant allele in TNF-?-863,and-308 SNPs among severe adult community acquired pneumonia patients was significantly higher than that in common pneumonia patients.CONCLUSION: TNF-?-863 and-308 SNPs appear to be associated with severe adult community acquired pneumonia in Chinese populations.

Objective To study the image features and clinical significance of 3-dimensional (3-D)and multiplanar reconstruction with spiral CT(SCT) in cervical spinal fractures.MethodPlain film radiography and spiral CT scanning were taken for 26 cases of cervical spinal fractures.The type of fractures, diagnositic successful rate, parameter of scanning and late stage managing methods were investigated retrospectively to find out the effective difference between the diagnosis of plain X-ray and SCT. The imagin location of fractures,sequence of cenrum, heighth of centrum, fracture line, auxillary structure and rotation/dislocation of the fractures were emphasized to evaluate the advantages of 3-D imaging.ResultIn the 26 cases, there were 4 Jefferson fractures, (in which 1 combined with articular dislocations), 17 C2 spinous process fractures, (in which 1 had failure of plain X-ray diagnostic), 1 Hangman fracture, 2 C1~2 imbalance, (in which 1 had failure of plain X-ray diagnostic).There were 2 cases of axoid longitudinal fractures without obvious dislocation. The diagnositic successful rate were 100% in SCT group, while 65% in X-ray group in which 6 cases had diagnostic failure and 3 cases had fracture mis-diagnozing as dislocation.The anatomical structure of upper cervical spine was complicated and was significantly different from other cervical spine constructions. Spiral CT could reveal high resolution images of the upper cervical spine, morphosis of vertibral canal, dislocation information of fracture mass and its relation with neighbouring tissues. Especially in C1 burst fracture,C2 dens fracture and C1~2 dislocation, SCT could provide clear 3-D information of the size of collateral mass and the dislocation degree, furthermore, images could be rotated freely to observe the fracture in any proper section. That provides important information for the decision of operation, selection of operation types and evaluation of operation dager.ConclusionThe spiral CT scan and 3D reconstruction can reveal fracture better.The advantages of SCT are suggested that this diagnostic modality may be the standard method for the initial evaluation of the upper cervical spine injury.

Objective:To research the number and function of monocyte-macrophages in patients with chronic active hepatitis B. Methods:The 51 chronic viral hepatitis B( CHB) patients were selected randomly,which consisted of 20 cases of mild-moderate,31 cases of severe group and 13 cases of healthy controls. PBMCs were separated by percoll. Monocytes were tagged by CD14,the molecules CD80,CD86,HLA-DR and CD163 were detected by flow cytometry which expressed on the surface of PBMCs. Serum cytokine were detected for IL-10, IL-12 and IL-23 by ELISA. The distribution of CD68 was detected in the liver by immunohistochemical staining. Results:The expressions of CD80 for all chronic hepatitis B patients were lower than the controls respectively,no matter mild-moderate or even severe group. Similarly,the HBV patients expressed lower level of CD86 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells when compared with the control group. Furthermore, there was statistically difference between the levels of CD86 in severe group compared with control group (P<0. 01). As the expression of CD80 and CD86,the levels of HLA-DR in the patents had also declined when compared with controls. While the HLA-DR levels in both the mild-moderate HBV hepatitis groups were statistically significant higher than the severe group (P<0. 01). Different from the above all,the expression of CD163 in all chronic HBV hepatitis was higher than the control group. The CD68 positive cells in chronic HBV patients were observed and infiltrated increasingly in portal area and hepatic lobules (P<0. 05). There were statistically significant differences of IL-10 levels between the mild-moderate group,severe group and the control group,respectively (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Macrophages have participated in the pathological lesions of liver in CHB patients,among peripheral blood mononuclear cells,the phenomena of imbalance between type M1/M2 and polarization to type M2 have been observed,which participated in the development of the chronicity of CHB.
