The Department of Surgery of PUMCH did plenty of work to optimize the teaching model,which is characterized by stage-dependent integrity and by systematic organization as a response to the challenge to students' training.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features and the key points in the diagnosis and management of splenic hemangioma.Methods The clinical presentations,laboratory tests,imaging and pathological results,treatment,and prognosis of 21 cases of splenic hemangioma admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April,1989 to July 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The clinical presentations of splenic hemangiom are not specific which include left upper quadrant mass or discomfort,abdominal pain,etc.The diagnosis of imaging includes Doppler ultrasound,CT,MRI,DSA,etc.Splencetomy is recommended for all splenic hemangioma with severe symptoms or rupture.Conclusion Asymptomatic patients with small splenic hemangioma(＜4 cm)can be managed conservatively.Symptomatic large hamangioma may need a sp]enectomy.

Proper timing of repair is one of key factors predicting long-term prognosis of iatrogenic biliary injury.Local inflammation is proved related to long-term biliary stricture.This article introduces pathological procedure of biliary injury based on pathophysiological mechanism and animal model rescarch of wound healing,and how to increase intraoperative repair rate based on the clinical evidences.The preoperative active inflammation control and systemic management could create necessary conditions for the the subsequent early repair.At the same time,authors suggest to set individual strategy regarding timing of repair.Delayed repair is recommended for combined vascular injury or severe biliary injury with terrible contamination.

Objective To study the clinical features of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the biliary tract (BT-IPMN) and to analyse the diagnostic and surgical patterns.Method The data of 19 patients with BT-IPMN admitted from Jun.2012 to Jul.2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Results These 19 (2.3％) patients with BT-IPMN came from 815 patients with biliary tract tumors who were treated in our institution.There were 9 males and 10 females.The male to female ratio was 1.0∶ 1.1.The mean age was 60.6 ± 12.9 years with a range from 25 to 78 years.Jaundice (in 10 patients) and abdominal discomfort (in 6 patients) were the most common presenting symptoms.Bile duct dilatation and intraluminal mass were typical preoperative imaging findings.All these 19 patients were diagnosed to have BT-IPMN histopathologically.18 patients underwent surgery in our hospital.Left lateral hepatic sectionectomy or left hepatectomy was performed in 8 patients,pancreaticoduodenectomy in 6,local excision of bile duct and cholangiojejunostomy in 3 and central hepatectomy in 1.The average operating time was 280 minutes and the average amount of intra-operative bleeding was 515 ml.Fourteen patients underwent regional lymph node dissection and 3 positive lymph nodes were detected out of 94 resected lymph nodes.Sixteen patients were followed up from 1 to 51 months with a mean of (25.7 ± 19.5) months.Fourteen of these patients were still surviving.Two patients died 3 and 17 months after operation due to the tumor.Conclusions Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the biliary tract was very rare.Early diagnosis was not easy.There was a low percentage of lymphatic metastasis.Surgery was the first choice of treatment and complete resection of BT-IPMN was associated with good long-term survival.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes and influencing factors of early postoperative pulmonary function of thoracotomy.

METHODSPre- and early postoperative pulmonary function was studied in 64 consecutive cases with optimal thoracotomy. Pain assessment was done before pulmonary function test, and the chief complaints of patients were recorded after the procedure. The changing curves of pulmonary function were done and the differences associated with groups, surgical styles, pain assessment, epidural analgesia, chief complaint and preoperative conditions were analyzed.

RESULTSPulmonary function was severely lowered to about 40% of the base line on the first day, and it was rehabilitated to about 60% of the base line on the eighth day. There was a greater gradient on the recovery curve on the 3rd and 4th days. Epidural analgesia was able to improve pain relaxation and pulmonary function in some degree. Single-factor analysis showed that postoperative pain, postoperative day and surgical style were the significant influencing factors for early postoperative pulmonary function. By multiple-factor analysis, preoperative pulmonary function, age and postoperative pain were the main factors, while surgical style had only weak effect on it.

CONCLUSIONSEarly postoperative pulmonary function is severely impaired by thoracotomy. It rehabilitate gradually with time. Improvement of preoperative pulmonary function, reducing surgical procedure injuries, especially injury to respiratory muscle system, and enough postoperative pain relief are the most important means that would reduce pulmonary function impairment and consequently reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.

Objective To investigate the expression of bone marrow γ-H2AX in the patients with multiple myeloma(MM) and its correlation with the prognosis.Methods The patients with newly diagnosed MM in this hospital were selected as the case group,and the patients with non-hemopoietic system tumor without obvious morphological abnormalities by bone marrow smear and biopsy served as the control group.The immunohistochemistry was adopted to detect the expression level of bone marrow γ-H2AX in the cases group and control group,the image-Pro Plus(IPP) semiquantitative analysis was performed.The expression differences were compared between the two groups,moreover the case group was re-divided into the strong expression group and weak expression group according to γ-H2AX expression level.Then the relation ship between γ-H2AX expression level and the prognosis in the patients with MM.Results The bone marrow γ-H2AX expression level in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05);the level of γ-H2AX expression in the strong expression group was significantly stronger than that in the weak expression group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of γ-H2AX expression was higher among MM patients,and the over expression of γ-H2AX predicts the shorter survival time.
