Objective To systematically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combined portal vein resection and reconstruction in the resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods Literatures were researched using Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,China Biology Medicine disc,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang database,VIP database from January 31,2006 to January 31,2016 with the key words including “hilar cholangiocarcinoma”“Klatskin tumor”“Bile duct neoplasm”“Vascular resection”“portal vein resection”“肝门部胆管癌”“血管切除”“门静脉切除”.The clinical studies of resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with portal vein resection and construction and without vascular resection and construction were received and enrolled.Two reviewers independently screened literatures,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias.Patients who underwent resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma combined with portal vein resection and reconstruction were allocated into the portal vein resection group and patients who didn't undergo vascular resection were allocated into the no vascular resection group.Analysis indicators included (1) results of literature retrieval;(2) results of Meta-analysis:① incidence of postoperative complications (hepatic failure,biliary fistula,intra-abdominal hemorrhage),② postoperative mortality,③ patients' prognosis,④ related indicators of postoperative pathology (lymph node metastasis rate,moderate-and low-differentiated rate,nerve invasion rate,negative rate of resection margin).The heterogeneity of the studies was analyzed using the I2 test.The hazard ratio (HR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) were used for assessing the prognostic indicators.The incidence of complications,mortality and pathological indicators were evaluated by the odds ratio (OR) and 95％ CI.Results (1) Results of literature retrieval:13 retrospective studies were eurolled in the meta-analysis,and the total sample size was 1 668 cases including 437 in the portal vein resection group and 1 231 in the no vascular resection group.(2) Results of Meta-analysis:① incidence of postoperative complications was respectively 39.86％ in the portal vein resection group and 35.27％ in the no vascular resection group,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =1.12,95％ CI:0.82-1.53,P ＞0.05).The results of subgroup analysis showed that hepatic failure,biliary fistula and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were postoperative main complications,and the incidences were 17.09％,8.79％,6.25％ in the portal vein resection group and 10.62％,9.69％,2.51％ in the no vascular resection group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =0.48,1.13,0.82,95％ CI:0.23-1.02,0.45-2.83,0.21-3.12,P ＞ 0.05).② Postoperative mortality was respectively 5.38％ in the portal vein resection group and 3.88％ in the no vascular resection group,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =1.16,95％ CI:0.62-2.14,P ＞ 0.05).③ There was statistically significant difference in patients' prognosis between the 2 groups (HR =1.81,95％ CI:1.52-2.16,P ＜ 0.05).④ The related indicators of postoperative pathology:lymph node metastasis rate,moderate-and low-differentiated rate and negative rate of resection margin were 41.55％,76.42％,63.74％ in the portal vein resection group and 33.42％,66.75％,64.29％ in the no vascular resection group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =1.45,1.59,0.67,95％ CI:0.95-2.21,0.97-2.61,0.37-1.20,P ＞ 0.05).The nerve invasion rate was 83.47％ in the portal vein resection group and 64.90％ in the no vascular resection group,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (OR =2.61,95 ％ CI:1.45-4.70,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Combined portal vein resection and reconstruction is safe and feasible in the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,and the prognosis of patients with portal vein invasion is worse than that without portal vein invasion.

In order to realize an individualized and specialized rehabilitation assessment of remoteness and intelligence, we set up a remote intelligent assessment system of upper limb movement function of post-stroke patients during rehabilitation. By using the remote rehabilitation training sensors and client data sampling software, we collected and uploaded the gesture data from a patient's forearm and upper arm during rehabilitation training to database of the server. Then a remote intelligent assessment system, which had been developed based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm and Brunnstrom stage assessment standard, was used to evaluate the gesture data. To evaluate the reliability of the proposed method, a group of 23 stroke patients, whose upper limb movement functions were in different recovery stages, and 4 healthy people, whose upper limb movement functions were normal, were recruited to finish the same training task. The results showed that, compared to that of the experienced rehabilitation expert who used the Brunnstrom stage standard table, the accuracy of the proposed remote Brunnstrom intelligent assessment system can reach a higher level, as 92.1%. The practical effects of surgery have proved that the proposed system could realize the intelligent assessment of upper limb movement function of post-stroke patients remotely, and it could also make the rehabilitation of the post-stroke patients at home or in a community care center possible.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine combined with systemic chemotherapy and/or regional arterial perfusion for pancreatic cancer with liver metastases (PCLM).

METHODSWe retrospectively selected 292 patients with PCLM who were treated by Chinese herbal medicine combined with systemic chemotherapy and/or regional arterial perfusion at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2001 to December 2010. All patients were assigned to the Western medicine treatment group (157 cases) and the integrative medicine treatment group (135 cases). Patients in the Western medicine treatment group were treated with gemcitabine (GEM)-based chemotherapy, and partial of them received regional arterial perfusion. Those in the integrative medicine treatment group additionally took Chinese herbs of clearing heat and eliminating mass for at least 4 weeks. The median survival time (MST) , adverse reactions and the incidence of complications were observed.

RESULTSThere was no statistical significance in general data between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was statistical difference in MST between the two groups (4.8 months vs 5.5 months, P < 0.05). No death occurred during chemotherapy or regional arterial perfusion. All toxic or adverse reactions were tolerable.

CONCLUSIONChinese herbal medicine combined with systemic chemotherapy and/or regional arterial perfusion was effective and safe, and it could be optimally selected as palliative therapy for PCLM.
