Objective To compare the safety and effectiveness of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) with pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis with a pancreatic head mass.Methods Medline,Biosis,Cochrane Library,Science Citation Index Database,CBM Database,Wan Fang and CNKI were searched systematically.The bias risk of the included trials was assessed according to the assessing tools as suggested by the Cochrane Handbook.Review Manage 5.2 was used to perform the statistical analysis.Results 7 RCTs with 226 patients were included in the meta-analysis which showed that there were no significant differences between PPPD and DPPHR in overall postoperative morbidity,postoperative hospital stay,complete pain relief,pancreatic fistula,exocrine insufficiency,symptom score at 5 to 7-year follow-up,and quality of life score at 14 to 15-year follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).While DPPHR had significant superiorities in operation time,blood replacement,delayed gastric emptying,occupational rehabilitation after the operations,weight gain,quality of life score at 1 to 2-year follow-up,symptom score at 5 to 7-year follow-up,and physical functioning score at 14 to 15-year follow-up.Conclusions DPPHR is more favourable than PPPD in reducing the use of blood replacement,shortening operation time,delayed gastric emptying,occupational rehabilitation after the operations,weight gain,physical functioning,and in improving quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate effect of carnosine on oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion ( OGD/RP) induced injury in rat brain slices. Methods Injury of brain slices was determined by TTC methods.The contents of ATP, ADP and AMP were determined by high performance liquid chromatography.Reactive Oxygen species ( ROS) were determined by fluorescence methods.Results Compared with control group, rat hippocampal slices were significantly damaged by OGD/RP, indicated by light color and decreased A490 nm value of TTC staining.Meanwhile the contents of ATP and ADP were significantly decreased, and the content of AMP and ROS were significantly increased, the difference between two group was significant ( P<0.01).Pre-incubation with Carnosine (1000, 200, 40 μg/mL) significantly inhibited the light color and decreased A490 nm value of TTC staining, increased the contents of ATP, ADP and AMP, and decreased the content of ROS, the difference between two group was significant ( P <0.01 ) . Conclusion Carnosine can protect rat hippocampal slices against injury induced by OGD/RP, which may relate to improve the energy metabolism and strengthen the ability of anti-oxidative stress.

Objective To describe the status of the self-efficacy and coping styles of tuberculosis patients,analysis the relationship between self-efficacy and coping styles. Methods With the method of convenient sampling, used the general information questionnaire self-designed, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) to take questionnaire survey on 132 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Applicated SPSS19.0 software for the statistics, and analyzed the relationship between self-efficacy and coping styles on patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Results The mean score of self-efficacy in 132 pulmonary tuberculosis patients was 24.90 ± 7.04,which was in the medium to low level. The proportion of mediun,lower,higher level of self-efficacy was 44.70% (59/132), 39.40%(52/132),15.90%(21/132).Scores of the coping styles on face,avoid, yield were 21.16±9.23,16.55± 2.83,9.68 ± 4.12.Patients self-efficacy level was positively correlated with face coping style (r=0.242, P<0.05), avoid coping style (r=0.150, P<0.05),and negatively correlated with the yield response (r=-0.008, P<0.05). Conclusions The general self-efficacy level of tuberculosis patients is at a lower level. Tuberculosis patients should have more choice to handle it.

Objective To explore the value of 64-row helical CT multi-phase enhancement scan combined with angiography (CTA)in the diagnosis of pulmonary mass.Methods Two hundred and sixty-five patients with pulmonary mass confirmed by pa-thology were checked,analyzed the CT sign of multi-phase enhancement scan and the blood supply of pulmonary mass displayed by CTA.Results Lung cancer was mainly supplied by bronchial arteries,some by body arteries,the feeding arteries display rate of lung cancer group was significantly higher than that of benign disease group(P <0.05).CT enhancement peak value of lung cancer group was significantly higher than that of tuberculoma group,inflammatory pseudotumor group and hamartoma group(P <0.05), but no significant difference between hemanginoma group(P >0.05).Enhancement dynamic curves of lung cancer group was differ-ent from benign lesion groups:Lung cancer without obvious enhancement in pulmonary artery phase,CT value increased rapidly in aorta phase,120 s reached peak,and declined slowly in delay phase;CT value of tuberculoma was increased slowly without obvious peak;CT value of inflammatory increased gradually in pulmonary artery phase,90 s reached the peak;hamartoma was no obvious enhancement;Hemangioma enhanced rapidly after strengthening in the pulmonary artery phase,reached the peak at about 15 s,and then decreased slowly.Conclusion 64-row helical CT multi-phase enhancement scan combined with angiography have important clinical value,which can differentiate malignant mass from benign ones.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) in evaluating Lauren classification of advanced gastric carcinoma.MethodsForty-one patients with gastric cancer proved by endoscopic biopsy performed preoperative VTQ examination,and the findings were compared with postoperative pathologic results via hematoxylin -eosin and Alcian Blue-Periodic Acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining.ResultsIn 41 patients,26 cases were diagnosed as diffuse type and 15 cases as intestinal type by pathology after operation.The shear wave velocity(SWV) of diffuse type was higher than that of intestinal type [(1.72± 0.83)m/s vs (1.05± 0.66)m/s,t =2.819,P=0.008] measured by virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ).According to the area under the ROC curve,the cut- off value of SWV in gastric cancer tissues for assessing the diffuse type was 1.045 m/s with a sensitivity of 80.8％ and specificity of 73.3 ％ respectively.ConclusionsVTQ could be considered as a promising method to distinguish the Lauren classification in patients with advanced gastric carcinoma.

Objective To screen for genomic copy number variants(CNVs)in six neonates with Pierre Robin sequence(PRS)by Affymetrix 2.7 M chip to identify possible loci related to PRS.Methods Six neonates with PRS admitted into the Department of Neonatology,Children's Hospital of Fudan University from June 2009 to May 2010 were enrolled in this study.CNVs were detected by Cytogenetic Whole Genome 2.7 M array.Rare CNVs with potential clinical significance that deletion segments' size ＞50 kb and duplication segments' size ＞200 kb were selected based on the analysis of Chromosome Analysis Suite(ChAS)software,false positive CNVs and segments of normal population were excluded.The identified CNVs were compared with those in relative published literatures.Results(1)Among 6 PRS patients,two patients had facial deformation,two had congenital heart defects,one had congenital dysplasia of the laryngeal cartilage and one had choroidal space occupying lesion.(2)Seven rare CNVs whose size from 51-11 956 kb were identified in four neonates,including a 739 kb duplication on lp26.23-p36.22,a 6273 kb deletion on lq43-44,a 51 kb and a 55 kb deletions on 14q32.31,a 1022 kb duplication on 14q11.1-11.2,a 11 956 kb duplication on 20p13 and a 105 kb deletion on 4q23.3.(3)Published literatures showed that deletions of 1q43-44 and 14q32.31 might relate to micro/retrognathia and abnormal palate.Region of chromosome 1q43-q44 contained AKT3 and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U(hnRNPU)genes,and the haploinsufficiency of AKT3 and hnRNPU genes might cause developmental human microcephaly and agenesis of the corpus callosum,speech delay and seizures respectively.Region of chromosome 14q32.31 contained some C/D small nucleolar RNA,and the human imprinted 14q32 domain shared common genomic features with the imprinted 15q11-q13 loci.Conclusions This study established a method to discover whole genome CNVs in identifying novel submicroscopic deletions and duplications.Reviewing of published literatures suggested that deletions of chromosome 1q43-q44 and 14q32.31 might cause Pierre Robin sequence.

Objective To evaluate the postoperative complications and safety of pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) versus pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods Medline,EMBASE,Science Direct,Springer link,CBM,Cnki,Wan fang and VIP database were retrieved by computer search between 1st January 2004 and 31st March 2014 to collect all the RCT articles on pancreaticojejunostomy versus pancreaticogastrostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy.The quality of the included trials was studied by assessing the inclusive and exclusive criteria (the PRISMA statement) by 2 researchers independently,then the data were extracted and analyzed using the RevMan 5.2.10 software.Results A total of 6 prospective randomized controlled trials which involved 976 patents were included in the study.There were significant differences between PG and PJ in terms of postoperative pancreatic fistula (RR:0.51 ; 95 ％ CI:0.37-0.70 ; P ＜ 0.0001),intra-abdominal fluid collection (RR:0.55 ; 95 ％ CI:0.34-0.89; P =0.01),and postoperative biliary fistula (RR:0.14; 95％ CI:0.03-0.59; P =0.0008).There was no significant difference in postoperative complications,mortality,delayed gastric emptying,postoperative hemorrhage,reoperation and length of hospital stay (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Pancreaticogastrostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy is superior to pancreaticojejunostomy in safety and practicability.However,large,multicenter prospective randomized controlled trials are still needed to confirm the findings of this meta-anlaysis.

Objective To observe the serum γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GGT) levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in different immune status and investigate their relationship with HBV DNA loads and ALT levels. Methods Blood samples were collected from 191 patients with chronic HBV infection in different immune status, including inactive HBV carrier state (group B,n = 55), immune tolerance phase (group C, n=47), HBeAg-negative CHB (group D, n =17), immune-reactive phase (group E, n=72) and 61 healthy individuals ( group A) for the detection of the serum γ-GGT, ALT level and HBV DNA loads. Results γ-GGT level were obviously higher in groups D and E than those in groups of A, B and C (P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the γ-GGT levels were positively correlated with serum ALT , AST levels in HBeAg-negative CHB and immune-reactive phase , but not correlated with HBV DNA loads. Conclusions The levels of γ-GGT are different during different immune status in patients with chronic HBV infection. The increased serum γ-GGT level may be an indicator for patients with chronic HBV infection entering immune active phase. The liver inflammation is the major impact factor to the γ-GGT levels.
