The clinical and fundamental research for intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary stones were still inadequate currently.It was difficult for treat and has the following clinical features:extensive he-patic lesion,complex conditions,more complications,higher recurrence rate,etc.Satisfactory results were hard to gained if just depend on conventional surgery recently.As the methods of diagnosis and treatment are continuously increasing:Ultrasound,CT,MRCP,Choledochoscope,Cholangiography and 3D imaging of hepa-tobiliary system.From the traditional open operation to a variety of minimally invasive treatment.Different examination and treatment methods has its advantages and disadvantages.How to choose the effective,less trauma,appropriate pathway method is the main direction for the current research.

Objective: To investigate the trends in mortality and life lost due to female breast cancer among in Suzhou City from 2007 to 2021, so as to provide insights into improvements of breast cancer control strategy in Suzhou City. Methods: The epidemiological and clinical data pertaining to dead female breast cancer cases in Suzhou City from 2007 to 2021 were collected from Suzhou Municipal Chronic Disease Surveillance System, including gender, age and cause of death. The crude mortality, standardized mortality, years of potential life lost (YPLL), years of potential life lost rate (YPLLR), standardized YPLL (SYPLL), standardized YPLLR (SYPLLR) and average years of life lost (AYLL) due to female breast cancer were calculated. All data were standardized by the Fifth National Population Census in 2000, and the trends in mortality of breast cancer were estimated using average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: Totally 4 425 death occurred due to female breast cancer in Suzhou City from 2007 to 2021, with a crude mortality rate of 8.67/105, which appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=1.83%, t=5.080, P=0.001), and the standardized mortality was 4.68/105, which appeared no significant changes (AAPC=0.13%, t=0.356, P=0.727). The crude mortality rates of female breast cancer were 0.62/105, 10.33/105 and 21.69/105 among women at ages of 15 to 34, 35 to 64 years and 65 years and older, respectively, which appeared a tendency towards a rise (χ2trend=2 315.683, P=0.001). The crude mortality of female breast cancer was 8.66/105 in urban areas and 8.86/105 in rural areas, both appearing a tendency towards a rise (urban areas: AAPC=1.73%, t=3.290, P=0.006; rural areas: AAPC=2.68%, t=6.565, P=0.001). The YPLL, SYPLL, YPLLR, SYPLLR and AYLL of female breast cancer were 44 485 person-years, 30 387 person-years, 0.99‰, 0.68‰ and 14.94 years per person, and both YPLLR (AAPC=-1.06%, t=-2.193, P=0.047) and AYLL (AAPC=-1.53%, t=-4.783, P=0.001) appeared a tendency towards a reduction, respectively. Conclusion The crude mortality of female breast cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise and the life loss appeared a tendency towards a decline in Suzhou City from 2007 to 2021. The elderly population should be given a high priority for breast cancer control.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy,in order to provide a theoretical basis for prevention and treatment of this complication.Methods The term DGE was searched in Pubmed,Medline,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang,and published literatures were collected to determine the risk factors of DGE after pancreaticoduodenectomy.The Review Manager 5.3 software was used in the analysis.Results A total of 52 articles were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that age and preoperative bilirubin levels did not significantly influence the incidence of DGE.Preoperative cholangitis (OR =3.39,95％ CI 1.97 ～ 5.82),hypoalbuminemia (OR =2.53,95％ CI 1.59 ～4.02),and intraoperative blood loss of more than 1 L (OR =1.98,95％ CI 1.18 ～ 3.33) significantly increased the incidence of DGE.Pyloric resection (RR =2.06,95％ CI 1.05 ～4.05),antecolic reconstruction (RR =0.74,95％ CI 0.56 ～ 0.99) and Braun enteroenterostomy (OR =0.36,95％ CI 0.17 ～0.77) significantly decreased the risk of DGE.When compared with Roux-enY enteroenterostomy,Billroth Ⅱ enteroenterostomy reduced the incidence of clinically relevant DGE (RR =0.30,95 ％ CI 0.11 ～ 0.79).Postoperative pancreatic fistula (OR =3.84,95 ％ CI 2.71 ～ 5.44) and intraabdominal infection/abscess (OR =3.95,95％ CI 2.87 ～ 5.43) were significantly associated with a high incidence of DGE.Conclusions Hypoalbuminemia,cholangitis,large blood loss,and postoperative abdominal complications were the risk factors of DGE.Pyloric resection,antecolic reconstruction,Billroth Ⅱ enteroenterostomy,and Braun enteroenterostomy significantly reduced the incidence of DGE.Subgroup analysis showed that differences on DGE definition in studies might be an important cause for the heterogeneity in the results of the different studies.

Objective:To investigate the recognition and injury prevention strategies of hepatic artery variations during hepatic portal lymphadenectomy. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed, and 12 patients of hepatic arterial variation among 62 pa-tients with hepatic portal lymphadenectomy were the subjects. The study was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medi-cal College between January 2013 and July 2014. The intraoperative treatment and postoperative complications were recorded. Results:Among 12 cases of hepatic artery variation, we found the following cases:3 cases (25.0%) of Michels' Type III, 2 cases (16.7%) of Mi-chels' Type VI, 1 case (8.3%) of Michels' Type IX, 1 case (8.3%) of Hiatt's Type 6, 2 cases (16.7%) of spatial location variation between right hepatic artery and hepatic duct, 2 cases (16.7%) of left and right hepatic artery originating from a common hepatic artery, and 1 case (8.3%) of right hepatic artery originating from the gastroduodenal artery. No injury of hepatic artery occurred. Two cases had post-operative complications, including 1 case of pancreatic leakage and 1 case of incision infection;postoperative hemorrhage, bile leakage, hepatic abscess did not occur in these two cases. Patients recovered well in general. Conclusion:Hepatic arterial injury can be signifi-cantly reduced by the following:increased familiarity with the various types of hepatic artery variations;complete imaging examina-tions for inspection and evaluation before surgery;and careful and meticulous operations in surgery.

Background and purpose:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Intrahepatic recurrence is the main factor affecting its medium-term survival rate. Therefore, the search for the markers of metastasis is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of expression of tyrosine kinase phosphorylation Tyr416 of sarcoma (SRC pY416) in HCC with clinical parameters and prognosis. Methods:Immunohistochemical method and Western blot were used to detect the expression of non-receptor tyrosine kinase (SRC pY416) in 112 cases of HCC tissues and 40 cases of corresponding cancer adjacent normal liver tissues. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) in patients were detected with chemiluminescence. In the 12 months Follow-up of the study,the association between SRC pY416 expression and clinical parameters was analyzed. Results:SRC pY416 expressions in HCC (65.40±15.69) were higher than those in cancer adjacent normal liver tissues (11.25±2.73,P<0.001). The expressions of SRC pY416 were all associated with the age, the liver cirrhosis, the complete capsule, the tumor differentiation, the HBV DNA and the AFP value of the patients (P<0.01). 12 months after operation, single factor analysis showed that the recurrence was associated with the tumor differentiation, the HBV DNA, the AFP value and the expression of SRC pY416 of the patient (P<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that the expression of SRC pY416 was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence and metastasis in patients with HCC in 12 months. Conclusion:SRC pY416 may play an important role in the metastasis of HCC. The expression of SRC pY416 may be the marker for HCC liver metastasis.
