Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of severe pancreatic trauma(SPT). Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with transected pancreatic trauma(grade 3-5) admitted into our hospital in recent 20 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results Twenty patients were in grade 3, 10 in grade 4,and 2 in grade 5. Operations were performed on all 32 patients. Twenty-five recovered, and 7 died. The mortality was 21.9%.Before the operation, peritoneal lavage fluid amylase rose in 10 patients(50%),and serum amylase rose in 12 patients(60%). Imaging examination included ultrasonography in 10 (diagnosed in 3),and CT in 8 (diagnosed in 3). Diagnosis was established only in 10 patients before the operation. Complications included fistula, abscess and pseudocyst. Conclusions Incidence of associated trauma is high. The preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic trauma is difficult. The rates of morbidity and mortality are high. Early diagnosis, careful exploration and proper surgery are very important. Intraoperative pancreatography or ultrasonographic scanning is useful in diagnosis. Somatostatin and human growth hormone are useful in the treatment.

Objective To evaluate the application of endoscopic needle- knife precut sphincterotomy (PST) in treating acute suppurative cholangitis. Methods After failure of routine papillary intubation during encoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) in papillary incarcerated stone or inflammatory stenosis cases, needle-knife PST was applied to find the lower opening of the common bile duct. After that, routine papillary sphincterotomy or balloon dilation followed. Then net basket for stone extraction and nasobiliary catheter for drainage were made. Results Eleven of the 12 cases′ stones were extracted successfully, the success rate was 91.7%. In the 11 cases, 5 cases′ incarcerated stones dropped into duodenum automatically after sphincterotomy; 9 cases′ stones were extracted successfully in one treatment while 2 cases′ stones were extracted secondarily after stents were implanted; 1 case′s stone could not be extracted and need surgical treatment after nasobiliary catheter drainage because of stenosis of the lower part of the common bile duct. There was no dead case in all the cases. Conclusions Acute suppurative cholangitis patients, who have papillary incarcerated stones or inflammatory stenosis, can receive more efficacious diagnosis and treatment by applying PST when routine endoscopic papillary intubation fails. PST is an important endoscopic treatment for acute calculous suppurative cholangitis

Objective To explore the association between genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (Trail) and ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods A total of 331 patients with UC and 832 age and sex-matched healthy controls were collected.After Trail gene was amplified by PCR,the genetic polymorphisms of three single nucleotides (G1525A/G1588A/C1595T) in 3' non coding regions of Trail gene were examined by direct sequencing.The relation between Trail haplotype and UC was analyzed.Results Compared with control group,the frequencies of variant allele A and genotype GA+ AA in Trail G1525A were significantly lower in UC group (both P<0.01).The frequencies of variant allele A and T in Trail G1588A and C1595T were also significantly lower in UC group than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant (both P < 0.01 ).In mild and moderate UC patients,the frequencies of variant allele T and CT+TT in Trail C1595T were 49.15% and 64.51%,in severe UC patients were 72.37% and 84.21%,and the differences were significant between the two groups (OR=2.710 and 2.935,95%CI:1.598~4.596 and 1.188~7.249,all P <0.05).In severe UC patients,the frequency of variant allele A in Trail G1525A was 48.69%,which was higher than that of mild and moderate patients (35.16%,OR=1.750,95%CI:1.082~2.830,P=0.021).In UC group,the frequency of AAT haplotype was significantly lower than that of controls (43.09% vs 58.41%,P<0.01).The frequency of GAT haplotype was significantly higher in UC group (10.15%vs 0.18%,95% CI:0.005 ~ 0.051,P< 0.01).Conclusion The genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of Trail (G1525A/G1588A/C1595T) gene may be closely correlated with the susceptibility to UC.

Objective To investigate the association between the genetic polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and ulcerative colitis (UC) of Han ethnic population in Zhejiang, China. Methods Two hundred and seventy-four consecutive patients with UC and 726 healthy controls (HC) were studied. The genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR (C677T and A1298C) were genotyped using PCR-RELP methods. Results The frequencies of variant allele and genotype in MTHFR A1298Cgene were higher in UC patients than in the HC (35.77% vs 29. 96%, P =0. 013; 52. 19% vs 44. 90%,P=0.039; respectively). However, there were no significant discrepancies of the allele and genotype frequencies in the MTHFR C677T gene between the UC patients and the HC (P > 0. 05 ). In addition, the MTHFR 677Tr homozygote, T allele and 677CT/1298AC compound genotype were more prevalent in patients with extensive colitis than in those with distal colitis (37. 66% vs 14. 72% ,P = 0. 0002; 49. 35% vs 32.99% ,P =0. 0004; 29. 87% vs 15.23% ,P =0. 006; respectively). Furthermore,the variant allele in the MTHFR A1298C gene (C) in severe UC patients was significantly lower than in mild and moderate UC patients (18.97% vs 33. 88% ,P =0. 022). Conclusion The genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T and A1298C are obviously associated with Han ethnic population with UC in Zhejiang province.

Objective To investigate the relationship between gene polymorphisms of T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain protein-3 (Tim-3) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in Han nationality of Zhejiang.Methods A total of 391 UC patients and 573 healthy controls were recruited.Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SPNs) of Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) were examined by the improved multiple ligase detection reaction technique.Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was performed to analyze the differences in the distribution of Tim-3 gene polymorphisms and its influence on the location and severity.Haploview 4.2 software was used to analyze linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype.Results The frequencies of genotype CA+AA and mutant allele A of rs10515746 in UC were lower than those in healthy controls (1.79%,7/391 vs 4.19%,24/573;0.90%,7/782 vs 2.18%,25/1 146;x2=4.295 and 4.712,P=0.038 and 0.030).However,there was no significant differences in frequencies of genotype CA+ CC and mutant allele C of gene rs1036199 between UC patients and the healthy controls (1.79%,7/891 vs 8.49%,20/578;0.90%,7/782 vs 1.74%,20/1 146;both P>0.05).The frequencies of genotype CA+AA and mutant allele A of rs10515746 in mild and moderate UC patients were both higher than those in severe UC patients (2.87 %,7/244 vs 0;1.43 %,7/488 vs 0),and the differences were statistically significant (Fisher's exact test,P=0.049 and 0.048).The analysis for LD indicated that rs1036199andrs10515746 were closeLD (D'=0.92,r2=0.72).Furthermore,the frequency of haplotype CA formed by the mutant alleles C and A of these two SNPs was lower in UC patients than that in healthy controls (0.64%,5/782 vs 1.74%,20/1 146),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.441,P=0.035).Conclusions Tim-3 (rs10515746) gene mutation may not only decrease the incidence,but also reduce the severity of UC.Moreover,the haplotype CA formed by the mutant alleles of rs1036199 and rs10515746 may also reduce the incidence of UC.
