Objective To analyze the relevant factors of portal vein thrombosis in patients after splenectomy for portal hypertension due to cirrhosis resulting from hepatitis. Methods The clinical data of 226 patients with hypertension due to cirrhosis resulting from hepatitis receiving simple splenectomy or splenectomy and portal-azygous devascularization in our hospital from August 2000 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Effective results were found in 154 of the patients. The 154 cases were divided into the thrombosis group and non-thrombosis group. The relation of portal vein thrombosis to the descendent level of portal vein pressure after operation,the prothrombin ratio (PTR) and fibrinogen(FIB) before operation, platelet count before and 1, 7, 14 days after operation, diameter of main portal vein and bilirubin level before operation and blood loss in operation were determined by logistic regression analysis. Results Portal vein thrombosis occurred in 31 patients. Regression univariate analysis showed that portal vein thrombosis was related to the descendent level of portal vein pressure after operation but not to the PTR and FIB, platelet count, diameter of main portal vein, bilirubin level and blood loss. Multivariate analysis demonstrated the same results. Conclusion The descended level of portal vein pressure is an important factor in portal vein thrombosis in patients after splenectomy for portal hypertension due to cirrhosis resulting from hepatitis.

Objective To study clinical value of percutaneous intrabiliary expandable metallic biliary stenting (EMBS) for treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with malignant obstructive jaundice were treated with EMBS ( EMBS group) . Thirty patients underwent only external drainage by PTCD were recruited as control. The patency rate of stent,decline of bilirubin and the complication were analyzed retrospectively. Both groups were followed up for three months. The Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test) was used to compare the survival period between the two groups. Results Anorexia,skin pruritus and color of urine alleviated at a certain degree in both groups.In the EMBS group,plasma total bilirubin was(218. 78 ±2. 29) μmol/L pre-stent,and decreased to (134. 90 ±2. 34), (83. 18 ±2.40) , (40. 74 ±2. 29) μmol/L at the 7,14,21 days after the stenting, respectively; direct bilirubin was (128.82 ±2.40) μmol/L pre-stent, and decreased to (81.28 ± 2. 34), (51. 29 ±2. 45) and (25. 70 ±2.40)μmol/L at the 7,14,21 days after the stenting ( P =0. 000). In the PTCD group,plasma total bilirubin was (223. 57 ± 2. 58) μmol/L pe-stent, and decreased to ( 145. 68 ± 2. 57 ) ,(87.57 ±2.58) ,(38.65 ±2. 20) μmol/L at the 7,14,21 days after the stenting,respectively;direct bilirubin was (127. 6 ±2. 59)μmol/L pre-stent,and decreased to (79. 78 ±2. 70) ,(58. 36 ±2. 46) and (29.46 ±2. 20)μmol/L at the 7,14,21 days after the stenting,respectively ( P <0.001 ). No significant difference was found between the two groups at any time point ( P > 0. 05). Complications occurred in 34 patients in the EMBS group and the incidence rate was 20. 62% . Two or more complications occurred in 9 patients. In the PTCD group, complications occurred in 60.00% of the patients. In the EMBS group, 14 patients were failed to follow up, and 136 died. The median length was 214 days. In the PTCD group,all patients were followed up and all died,with a median length of survival of 75. 5 days. The survival analysis showed that the EMBS group survived longer than the PTCD group (P =0. 000). Conclusions EMBS placement showed better effect than PTCD. Compared to PTCD, internal drainage of metallic stents lead few complications and faster recover, and can improve the life quality and prolong survival time of patient with malignant obstructive jaundice. The placement of metallic stents is recommended as a preference for palliative therapy of malignant biliary obstruction.

Objective To analyze relevant factors causing pancreatic fistula post pancreaticoduodenectomy with ex-ternal drainage of pancreatic duct. Methods Altogether 133 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with exter-nal drainage of pancreatic duct in our hospital from 1999 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relevance of pancreatic fistula with age, gender, combined diseases, pancreatic duct diameter, patho-logical types, preoperative total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB) levels, drainage of the bile duct before operation, obstruc-tion of the pancreatic duct drainage and postoperative application of growth somatostatin. Then we also analyzed the relation-ship between those risk factors and the severity of pancreatic fistula. Results Postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 24 cases (3 cases were of grade A,13 cases were of grade B and 8 cases were of grade C) among the 133 patients. Logistic re-gression analysis showed that obstruction of the pancreatic duct drainage is a major risk factor of pancreatic fistula in these patients(OR=4.529,P=0.005). The patients whose pancreatic duct drainage was obstructed had a significantly higher pan-creatic fistula rate than the patients whose drainage was not obstructed (30.8%vs 12.8%, P<0.05). The occurrence of pan-creatic fistula has no significant correlation with age, gender, combined diseases, pancreatic duct diameter, pathological types, preoperative TBIL, ALB level, preoperative bile duct drainage and postoperative application of somatostatin. What’s more, in those pancreatic fistula patients, the pancreatic fistulas were more severe in the obstructed ones than those in the un-obstructed ones. Conclusion The obstruction of the pancreatic duct drainage is a major risk factor of pancreatic fistula post pancreaticoduodenectomy with external drainage of pancreatic duct. If adequate preventive measures were employed during operation , the incidence of pancreatic fistula and pancreatic fistula severity will be significantly reduced.

Objective To observe the influence of peripheral serum came from patients with hepatectomy at different time points on hepatocyte proliferation in vitro. Methods According to the different types of cultured serum, cultured HL-7702 cells were divided into fetal bovine serum (FBS) group, preoperative serum group, 0.5 h, 3 h, 24 h and 72 h post operative serum groups. All groups of cells were cultured for 72 hours in the Cell-IQ unmarked living cell image analysis system, and the amplification curves of each group were mapped by continuous counting of cells. The cell amplification multiple was compared between all groups after culturing for 72 hours. BrdU immunofluorescence staining was performed and BrdU positive rate was calculated for comparing the cell proliferation of all groups. Results Amplification curves showed that HL-7702 cell proliferation rates of all human serum groups except for 72 h post operative group were higher than those of FBS group. Human serum 0.5 h and 3 h postoperative groups were more obvious. The amplification multiples of human serum groups, except for 72 h post operative group were all significantly higher than those of FBS group (P<0.01), and 0.5 h and 3 h post operative groups were both significantly higher than those of preoperative group (P < 0.05). BrdU positive rates of all human serum groups were significantly higher than those of FBS group (P < 0.01), which were significantly higher in 0.5 h and 3 h post operative groups than those of preoperative group (P < 0.05), but there were no statistical differences between 24 h and 72 h post operative groups and the preoperative group. Conclusion Human serum can promote the proliferation of hepatocytes compared with that of FBS. The influence of serum acquired post hepatectomy is closely associated with the post operative time.

Objective To study the value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)in combination with portal vein chemotherapy (PVC) after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma to prolong survival. Methods From January 2000 to July 2007, 168 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent tumor resection in our hospital. After operation, TACE in combination with PVC was performed in 48 patients (combined group), TACE alone in 26 (TACE group), PVC alone in 50 (PVC group) and none of the above in 44 (control group). All the patients were followed up for 17-96 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were compared among the 4 groups. Results Accumulative 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were higher in the combined and TACE groups than in PVC and control groups. Conclusion After resection of HCC, combined use of TACE and PVC is the same as TACE in prolonging patient survival. However, it is better than PVC alone and non-surgical procedure.
