Objective To investigate the clinical benefit response (CBR) in treating the unresectable pancreatic carcinoma by applying the EUS guided iodine-125 seed implantation combined with chemotherapy of gemeitabine and comparing chemotherapy of gemcitabine alone. Methods Forty-one patients with unresectable pancreatic carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups, one group (Group A) included 21 cases which underwent EUS-guided iodine-125 seed implantation combined with gemcitabine chemotherapy, the rest 20 cases (Group B) were treated with gemcitabine chemotherapy alone. EUS-guided iodine-125 seed implantation were carried according to the treatment plan system (TPS), following chemotherapy after 1 week. Gemcitabine was administered at the dose of 1 000 mg/m2, through intravenous administration once a week for 3 consecutive weeks every 4 weeks. CBR was assessed. Results CBR of Group A was 57.1% and median time to CBR was 1 week and median duration of CBR was 21 weeks, while CBR of Group B was 25%, and median time to CBR was 4 weeks and median duration of CBR was 15 weeks (P<0.01). Conclusions EUS-guided iodine-125 seed implantation combined with chemotherapy of gemcitabine was superior to gemcitabine chemotherapy alone in the term of CBR in patients with unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy (PEN) in treating infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Methods A retrospective review of clinical data of 6 patients with IPN who received PEN in Changhai Hospital, Second Military Medical University from Dec 2015 to Sep 2016 was performed.Clinical parameters were recorded, including basic information, severity evaluation and therapeutic methods and times.In addition, vital sign parameters and inflammatory marks before and after PEN treatment were compared.Results There were 4 patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and 2 patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) in these 6 patients with IPN.Mean APACHEⅡ score was 12 (10~15), and mean MCTSI scores was 9.3(8~10).All 6 patients received a total of 13 times PEN treatments, with a mean of 2.2(1~3) times.Each patient was treated with a mean of 2.5(1~4) drainage tubes placed in the peripancreatic abscess after PEN treatment, and the mean time for drainage was 139 d(106~183 d).Besides, the mean hospitalization time was 116 d (48~223 d).All the patients′ condition was improved significantly after PEN treatment, including reduced heart rate, body temperature and inflammatory markers, without bleeding or other serious complications.Only 1 patient had pancreatic fistula after treatment, and no patients needed open abdominal drainage surgery.Patients with higher MCTSI scores likely required more times of PEN and more drainage catheters, longer length of drainage and hospital stay.Conclusions PEN was safe and effective for treating patient with IPN, but those with higher MCTSI scores were associated with more PEN treatments, more drainage tubes, and longer time of drainage and hospitalization.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for failure of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for patients with infective pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Methods A retrospective review of medical records of patients with IPN who received PCD at Pancreatic Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Changhai Hospital from April 2010 to June 2014 was performed.The patients were divided into 2 groups:(1) PCD success group (n =48) and (2) PCD failure group (n =12).The potential parameters for failure of PCD were recorded,which included age,sex,etiology,length of hospital stay,outcome,MCTSI,APACHE Ⅱ scores,number of organ failure,duration of use of antibiotics,duration of use of PPIs,if delayed fluid resuscitation occurred,start of enteral nutrition,nutrition status,etc,and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used.Results Univariate analysis showed MCTSI,number of organ failure,malnutrition,use of PPIs (more than two weeks),delayed enteral nutrition,delayed fluid resuscitation,the number of drainage catheter,number of aspiration,multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid were risk factors for failure of PCD;while multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MCTSI (OR =3.33;95％ CI 1.52 ～ 7.29;P =0.003);multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid (OR =8.62;95 ％ CI 1.11 ～ 67.19;P =0.040) were risk factors for failure of PCD.Conclusions MCTSI and multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid can significantly influence the success rate of PCD.PCD should be carefully considered for patients with high score of MCTSI and multi-drug resistant infections of drainage fluid.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the K-ras mutations in FNA samples for early detection of pancreatic cancer.

There was significant difference in K-ras gene mutations in FNA samples between pancreatic cancer and other malignant tumors ( P = 0. 013 ) and NMPM ( P = 0. 001 ). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value,accuracy of K-ras mutations in FNA samples of pancreatic cancers were 88.9%, 55.6%, 85.7%, 62.5%,80.6% when compared with other malignant tumors, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P =0. 013) ;Those were 88.9%, 64.3%, 82.8%, 75.0%, 80. 5% when compared with NMPM, and the difference between the two groups was significant ( P = 0. 001 ). When cytology of FNA samples and K-ras mutations was combined, the positive rate of pancreatic cancer was up to 96.3%. Conclusions The detection of K-ras mutations in EUS-FNA samples helped improve the positive diagnostic rate of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To evaluate the value of medical treatment in the management of SAP.Methods From January 2000 to December 2011,a total of 1064 cases out of 931 SAP patients were admitted and retrospectively analyzed.The etiologies,severity score,complication rates,therapies,effectiveness and costs of those SAP cases were summarized.Results There were 559 males and 372 females with a mean age of (51 ± 15)years old.The main cause was biliary tract disease (58.3％),followed by fat-rich diet (31.2％),hyperlipidemia (13.6％) and alcohol (7.1％).At the time of admission,95.5％ of SAP patients presented with level D disease according to Balthazar CT severity index,26.0％ had a Ranson score ≥3 and 30.1％ had an APACHE Ⅱ score ≥ 8.There were 42.7％ cases complicated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),acute kidney injury,shock or heart failure,acute liver dysfunction,and diffuse intravascular clotting (DIC)occurred in 24.0％,8.1％,5.4％,3.2％,and 1％ of all patients,respectively.Other complications of SAP included abdominal cavity bleeding (n =17),pseudocyst bleeding (n =9),pancreatic abscess (n =78) and gastrointestinal fistula (n =33).Totally 25 (2.3％) patients died in hospital and 36 (3.4％) patients were discharged against advice,with an overall treatment success rate of 94.3％.The mean hospital stay was (23.7 ± 19.2) d,and the average cost was 52.3 thousands of RMB.Conclusions A comprehensive treatment pathway relying on medical treatment,focusing on organ function support and assisted by miniinvasive intervention may improve the treatment success rate of SAP,which is worth of further application.

Objective To investigate the current status and characteristics of the immersion experience of medical students and related influencing factors. Methods The stratified random sampling method was used to conduct a survey using an immersion experience questionnaire among 732 medical students in a full-time university. Epidata 3.1 software was used for data double entry and management, and SPSS 19.0 statistical software was used for data processing and statistical analysis. The questionnaire internal consistency reliability test was used to assess the validity of the questionnaire and a logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for the immersion experience of medical students. Results Learning immersion experience was at a moderate level among the medical students (3.13±0.64). Level of performance (OR=1.177, 95％CI=0.988-1.402), degree of satisfaction with learning (OR=1.674, 95％ CI=1.341-2.089), and professional interest (OR=2.153, 95％CI=1 . 776-2 . 610 ) were the positive influencing factors for learning immersion (P<0.05) and were positively correlated with learning immersion experience . Grade , source of origin , duty , learning stress , school satisfaction, and life satisfaction had no influence on learning immersion experience (P>0.05). Conclusion Learning immersion experience is at a moderate level among medical students. Improvement of medical students' performance, learning satisfaction,and professional interest helps to improve their immersion experience. Strengthening the attention to work immersion and enhancing learning immersion experience among medical students are beneficial to medical student education and cultivation of qualified medical talents.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of zoledronic acid in improving the prognosis of osteoporotic hip fracture and preventing its sequential contralateral hip fracture.Methods:A retrospective study of 206 patients diagnosed with hip fragile fractures in China Medical University Affiliated Shengjing Hospital and treated with anti-osteoporotic drugs after surgery was conducted. The prognosis of patients with hip fracture using survival rate analysis and the risk factors of acute febrile complications with multivariate analysis after zoledronic acid treatment were evaluated. Furthermore, chi-square test and multivariate analysis was used to explore whether zoledronic acid decreases the occurrence of the contralateral sequential fracture.Results:The 3-year survival rate of patients with overall hip fracture was higher in zoledronic acid treatment group compared with control group( P=0.026), with the incidence of fever at 53.3%. The age [ OR=0.786, P=0.027, the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.724] and cardiopulmonary complications ( OR=0.043, P=0.025, the area under ROC curve was 0.628) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of acute febrile response. The incidence of sequential contralateral fractures in zoledronic acid treatment group was significantly lower than that in control group ( χ2=4.356, P=0.037). The application of zoledronic acid ( OR=0.160, P=0.007, the area under ROC curve is 0.586) and the type of femoral neck fracture ( OR=0.196, P=0.001, the area under ROC curve is 0.607) were statistically associated with the occurrence of sequential fractures. Conclusion:Zoledronic acid treatment improves the outcome of patients with osteoporotic hip fracture and reduces the incidence of sequential hip fractures, especially femoral neck fracture. Senile age and cardiopulmonary complications might be associated with lower risk of acute febrile reactions after zoledronic acid treatment.
