Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of achieving textbook outcome (TO) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and to construct a nomograph model to explore its predictive value in TO.Methods:The clinical data of 205 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated by PD in Henan University People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively, including 88 males and 117 females with the age of (61.3±9.8) years old. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they achieved TO after surgery: TO group ( n=113) and non-TO group ( n=92). Clinical data such as age, gender, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, blood transfusion volume, pancreatic CT value, and tumor differentiation degree were collected. Logistic regression analysis screened the influencing factors of PD postoperative TO and built a nomogram model. The performance of the nomogram model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration diagram, and decision curve analysis. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the degree of tumor differentiation was in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (high differentiation to medium differentiation: OR=7.20, 95% CI: 1.20-43.28; high differentiation to low differentiation: OR=16.55, 95% CI: 2.01-136.11), CT value>38.45 Hu ( OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.13-0.65), blood transfusion volume ≤350 ml ( OR=8.05, 95% CI: 2.94-22.01) and operative time ≤407.5 min ( OR=10.88, 95% CI: 3.90-30.41), the easier it was to achieve TO after PD (all P<0.05). Based on the above influencing factors, a nomogram model of the postoperative effect of PD on TO was established, and the consistency index of this column graph model was 0.863 (95% CI: 0.816-0.911). The sensitivity and specificity of ROC curve were 0.804 and 0.752, respectively. The calibration diagram showed that the calibration curve fits well with the ideal curve, and the decision curve showed that the model had obvious positive net benefit. Conclusion:The degree of tumor differentiation, CT value, blood transfusion volume, and operation time are independent influencing factors for the achievement of TO after PD in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and the nomogram model constructed based on which has good predictive performance for TO.

Objective:To analyze the effect of sarcopenia on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after laparoscopic radical resection.Methods:Clinical data of 165 patients with HCC undergoing laparoscopic radical resection in Henan University People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 122 males and 43 females, aged (55.5±11.4) years. Patients were divided into sarcopenia group ( n=79) and control group (non-sarcopenia, n=86) according to the skeletal muscle index. The survivals were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and were compared by the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were utilized to analyze the effect of sarcopenia on the prognosis of HCC after laparoscopic radical surgery. Results:The 1- and 3-year cumulative survival rates of control group were 96.4% and 81.2%, which were higher than those of the sarcopenia group (83.2% and 48.9%, respectively, χ2=19.67, P<0.001). The 1- and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates of control group were 88.4% and 66.1%, which were higher than those of sarcopenia group (70.9% and 37.7%, respectively, χ2=18.80, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of recurrence ( HR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.20-1.59, P<0.001) and the risk of death ( HR=2.21, 95% CI: 1.23-3.41, P=0.001) after laparoscopic radical resection for HCC in patients with sarcopenia rises compared to non-sarcopenic patients. Conclusion:Sarcopenia is a risk factor for the survival and recurrence of HCC after laparoscopic radical surgery.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy based on three-dimensional image reconstruction in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the central region of liver.Methods:Clinical data of 118 patients with HCC located in the central region of liver undergoing hepatectomy in the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 85 males and 33 females, aged (57.5±8.9) years old. According to surgical approach, patients were divided into two groups: the open surgery group ( n=66) and laparoscopic surgery group ( n=52). All patients underwent three-dimensional image reconstruction preoperatively to determine the tumor location and its relationship with the hepatic vessels. The operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and prognosis were compared between the groups. Results:Compared to open surgery, patients in laparoscopic group were younger [(55±9) years old vs. (59±8) years old], and experienced a longer operative time [212.5 (152.5, 262.3) min vs. 161.5 (135.8, 210.0) min] and a shorter postoperative hospital stay [11.0(9.0, 13.0) d vs. 13.0(11.0, 15.3) d] (all P<0.05). Postoperative pathology indicated that R0 resection was achieved in both groups. The incidence of postoperative complications were comparable between the two groups [34.6% (18/52) vs. 39.4% (26/66), χ2=0.28, P=0.594]. The 1-year and 3-year recurrence-free survivals were 69.7% and 53.0% in laparoscopic group, similar to those in open group (71.2% and 53.8%, respetctively, P=0.953). Conclusion:Laparoscopic hepatectomy based on three-dimensional image reconstruction is safe and feasible for HCC in central region in terms of clinical prognosis. Laparoscopic surgery is also associated with a shorter postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of not achieving textbook outcome (TO) after laparoscopic radical surgery in patients with malignant pancreatic body and tail tumor, and to establish and evaluate a nomogram for predicting the failure to achieve TO.Methods:The clinical data of 111 patients with malignant pancreatic body and tail tumors undergoing laparoscopic radical surgery in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 44 males and 67 females, aged (53.8±14.7) years. All patients were staged TNM I to II, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ( n=102, 91.9%), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor ( n=5, 4.5%), and pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous tumors ( n=4, 3.6%). The patients were randomly divided into a training set ( n=78) and a test set ( n=33) at a ratio of 7∶3. The 78 patients in the training set were further divided into TO group ( n=28) and control group ( n=50, not achieving TO). Based on the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of training set, the influencing factors of failure to achieve TO after laparoscopic radical surgery in patients with pancreatic body and tail tumor were analyzed. A nomogram based on the multi-factors were established to predict the failure to achieve TO. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA) were utilized to evaluate the nomogram. Results:There were significant differences in tumor diameter, positive lymph nodes, operation time and CT value of pancreas between the TO and control groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter >4 cm ( OR=9.673, 95% CI: 2.198-42.579), positive lymph node ( OR=5.385, 95% CI: 1.514-19.154), pancreatic CT value ( OR=0.594, 95% CI: 0.392-0.902) were the influencing factors for patients who did not achieve TO (all P<0.05). Based on the results of multiple factors, a nomogram was established to predict the failure to achieve TO after laparoscopic radical surgery. The area under the ROC curve of the nomogram was 0.849 (95% CI: 0.757-0.940) and 0.873 (95% CI: 0.730-1.000) in the training and test sets, respectively. The calibration curve was close to the ideal curve and the predicted results of the nomogram matched well with the actual results. The DCA showed that the nomogram has obvious positive net benefit. Conclusion:The nomogram constructed with tumor diameter > 4 cm, positive lymph nodes and CT value of pancreas for prediction of the patients with pancreatic body and tail malignant tumor after laparoscopic radical surgery did not achieve TO has good performance.
