Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of bilateral route minimal- incision necrosectomy combined with continuous lavage for the treatment of infected necrotizing pancreatitis (INP).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 20 patients with IPN who were admitted to Daping Hospital, Army Medical University from April 2016 to July 2019 were collected. There were 11 males and 9 females, aged (42±9)years. All the 20 patients underwent bilateral route minimal-incision necrosectomy, and then be continuous perfused and drainage within the purulent cavity postoperatively. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detected patients fever, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea, peripancreatic residual infection and survival up to January 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: of the 20 patients who underwent surgery successfully, 14 patients underwent upper abdomen combined with left retroperitoneal approach, 1 patient underwent upper abdomen combined with right retroperitoneal approach, and the other 5 patients underwent upper abdomen combined with bilateral retroperitoneal approach. Fourteen of the 20 patients underwent additional surgery including 10 cases undergoing jejunostomy, 2 cases undergoing gastrostomy combined with jejunostomy, 1 case undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with jejunostomy, and 1 case undergoing cholecystectomy. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 20 patients were (228±41) minutes and 100 mL (range, 50-700 mL), respectively. (2) Postoperative situations: 20 patients began continuous perfused with 0.9% sodium chloride solution within the purulent cavity at postoperative day 2 (range, day 1-14). Six of the 20 patients had postoperative complications including 1 case with postoperative gastric fistula combined with intraperitoneal hemorrhage who underwent laparotomy hemostasis combined with gastrostomy at day 13 postoperatively, 1 case with postoperative duodenal fistula who underwent gastrointestinal anastomosis and jejunostomy at day 111 postoperatively, 1 case with postoperative retroperitoneal residual tissue necrosis and infection who underwent peripancreatic necrotic tissue debridement and drainage at day 11 postoperatively, 1 case with postoperative gallbladder fistula who underwent cholecystectomy at day 71 postoperatively, and 2 cases with postoperative pancreatic fistula who were cured with conservative treatment. The duration of hospital stay after 1st operation of the 20 patients were 42 days (range,20-178 days). (3) Follow-up: all 20 patients were followed up for 6.0 to 45.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 14.5 months. During the follow-up, 1 case developed secondary diabetes, and none of patient showed clinical manifestation such as fever, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and diarrhea. The peripancreatic residual tissue of all 20 patients absorbed well, and none of patient died.Conclusion:Bilateral route minimal-incision necrosectomy combined with continuous lavage is safe and feasible for the treatment of INP.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, and its pathogenesis is complex. At present, there is no good method for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. However, studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) has abnormal expression in gastric cancer, which participates in the regulation of gastric cancer related genes, and has an impact on the occurrence, development, diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. This paper aims to review the relationship between miRNA and the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, as well as the drug resistance in the treatment, so as to lay the foundation for the follow-up research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the incidence and the relation between pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cardiac output in hemodialysis (HD) patients with PH. Methods The incidence of PH was estimated with Doppler echocardiography in 78 patients receiving HD. Left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac volume, cardiac output and cardiac index were compared between patients with or without PH. Results PH was found in 20 patients (25.64%), among them15 had mild PH, 4 had moderate PH and 1 had severe PH. There was no statistical difference of ejection fraction, cardiac volume, cardiac output and cardiac index between the two groups. PH was not related to cardiac output. Conclusion HD can lead to PH, but cardiac output can not result in PH. Further investigations about the effect of elevated cardiac output induced by internal arteriovenous fistula and other factors on PH are needed.
