Objective To analyze and summarize the efficacy and the experience in the application of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ bundled pancreaticojejunostomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods Between Jan.2005 and Dec. 2009, a total of 38 patients who underwent bundled pancreaticojejunostomy was enrolled, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. 20 patients received type Ⅰ bundled pancreaticojejunostomy and 18 patients received type Ⅱ bundled pancreaticojejunostomy. The operative time, postoperative hospital stay, mortality and complications were compared. Results The operative time of type Ⅰ bundled pancreaticojejunostomy was (91 ± 20) min, and it was (63 ± 21) min in type Ⅱ procedure, and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0. 05). The mortality and complications, postoperative hospital stay were 10.0%(2/20), 45.0% (9/20) and (20 ±2)d in type Ⅰ procedure, while they were 5.6% (1/18),38.9% (7/18) and(23 ±2)d in type Ⅱ procedure, and the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions There was no significant difference in the effects between type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ bundled pancreaticojejunostomy. Carefully selective application of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ bundled pancreaticojejunostomy helps complete these procedures.

Objective To study the relationship between portal hypertension(PHT) and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)mRNA expression in rats.Method An animal model of PHT induced by partial portal vein constriction was established to detect the expression of HO-1mRNA in the liver,spleen, and splenic vein of rats by situ hybridization method. Result HO-1mRNA was not detected in the liver, spleen, and splenic vein in the control group. In PHT rats, HO-1mRNA was not detected in the liver;but in the spleen,the expression of HO-1mRNA was 83.3%;in the splenic vein,the expression was 55.6%. Conclusions The PHT rat is in stress condition.The expression of HO-1mRNA in the spleen and splenic vein of PHT ratsare increased and the metabolic product of HO-1 may exacerbate the PHT.

The pancreatico-enteric anastomisis has always been a great concern in pancreatoduodenectomy,even been called "Achilles heel".Pancreatic surgeons are interested in improving the anastomosis technique to prevent the pancreatic fistula rate.More than a hundred of anastomosis techniques were reported,authors reviewed the history of pancreatico-enteric anastomisis and divided it into three historical stages,as well as summarized the characteristics of each stage.At the same time,auhors introduced the most representative anastomotic techniques and conccpts in each period.

Objective: To analyze the efficacy of branches portal vein embolization (TBPVE) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on liver neoplasms. Methods: From August 2016 to May 2017, there were 13 patients including 11 males and 2 females with primary hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent TBPVE+ TACE , among whom there were 11 cases with a history of HBV infection.Average age of the 13 patients was (60.8±6.2)years. The live function of all patients were Child-Pugh A classification.The CT or MRI images of each patient was reconstructed and the standard liver volume(SLV) before TBPVE+ TACE was (1 181.2±49.3)ml, estimated future liver remnant(FLR) was (326.1±72.1)ml and FLR/SLV was (27.6±6.0)%.The puncture site for TBPVE was determined by the three-dimensional reconstruction of portal vein.CT scan or MRI, AFP and liver function test were repeated after one and two weeks after TBPVE+ TACE.FLR and FLR/SLV were calculated respectively.Hepatectomy would be performed if the patients agreed.The postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: On the 7^thday after TBPVE+ TACE, the FLR/SLV was(42.6±8.0)% and the FLR increasement was(56.0±24.6)%.The level of AFP decreased from(87.9±81.8)μg/L to (29.7±20.9)μg/L.On the 14^thday after TBPVE+ TACE, the FLR/SLV was(45.8±6.2)% and the FLR increasement was(71.8±29.0)%.Four patients underwent surgery which including 2 right hepatectomies and 2 right trisegmentectomies in 2 weeks after TBPVE+ TACE.Nine patients were performed with targeting intratumoral lactic acidosis TACE (TILA-TACE). No severe complication occurred in all patients. Conclusions TBPVE could induce a rapid growth of the liver remnant but still with the concern of inducing the growth of neoplasms at the same time.To combine TACE in TBPVE therapy not also can the growth of neoplasms be prevented but also inducing its shrinking.This method might be a new mode for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application efficacy of four-stitch cholangiojejunostomy.Methods:Of 38 patients who received four-needle biliary and enterointestinal anastomosis in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Yuebei People's Hospital Affiliated to Shantou University Medical College from November 2016 to April 2020 were included, and the diseases, surgical methods and postoperative complications of four-needle biliary and enterointestinal anastomosis were analyzed.Results:There were 26 males and 12 females with an average of 57.3(44-77) years. Among 38 patients, there were 12 hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients, 10 pancreatic head cancer, 9 duodenal papillary cancer, 4 intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones, 1 pancreatic cystic adenoma, 1 gastric cancer invading pancreatic head and 1 gallbladder carcinoma. The procedure included pancreatoduodenectomy in 20, radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in 12, hepatectomy with biliary-enteric anastomosis in 4, radical resection of gastric cancer combined with pancreaticoduodenectomy in 1, radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma in 1. One, two and three ductal openings were anastomosed in 27, 7 and 4 patients, respectively. 10 patients have bile duct diameter <6 mm. Postoperative anastomotic leakage occurred in 1, and all patients were received followed-up visit for 2 months to 4 years without anastomotic stenosis.Conclusion:Four-stitch cholangiojejunostomy is simple, safe, effective, and convenient for small biliary ductal surgeries.

In order to facilitate the treatment strategies for biliary tract injury, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, bile duct tumor thrombus, cholangiocellular carcinoma and bile duct cystic dilatation, many classifications have been made, even more than 10 types for one disease. Each type is represented by numbers or English alphabet, which are not only confusing but also difficult to remember. The Academician Mengchao Wu divided the liver into five sections and four segments base on its anatomy, this classification is very direct and visual, thus had been using till now. In order to overcome those complicated problems, it is considered to develop a new classification based on actual anatomic location similar to that for liver cancer, which is easy to remember and to directly determine the treatment strategy. All kinds of classifications have their own characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. This practical classifications avoid the complexity and may be useful for clinicians.
