Objective To investigate the effect of open surgical drainage approach for the treatment of walled-off pancreatic necrosis ( WOPN) in severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Clinical data of 154 WOPN patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2005 to October 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Traditional open debridement necrosectomy was performed in 83 patients from January 2005 to October 2012 ( debridement group) , and small abdominal incision with low-position open surgical drainage was performed in 71 patients from October 2012 to October 2016 ( drainage group ) . The clinical outcomes of two groups were analyzed and compared. Results 43 cases (51. 8％) in debridement group had postoperative intraperitoneal reinfection, while there were only 13 cases with postoperative intraperitoneal reinfection (18. 3％) in drainage group;18 cases (21. 7％) in debridement group had surgery-related digestive tract fistula, while there were only 4 cases with surgery-related digestive tract fistula (5. 6％) in drainage group; the differences were statistically significant (χ2 = 18. 55, P=0. 001; χ2 = 11. 35, P=0. 002). 15 patients (18. 1％) in debridement group and only 2 patients (2. 8％) in drainage group died. The mortality in drainage group were obviously lower than that in debridement group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 9. 07, P<0. 05 ). 62 cases ( 74. 7％) in debridement group and 55 cases (77. 5％) in drainage group were cured directly, respectively. No significant difference was found between two groups. However, 3 cases (3. 6％) in debridement group and 12 cases (16. 9％) in drainage group were cured by the way of small intestinal fistula in the late stage of intubation, and the latter was higher than the former with statistically significant(χ2 =5. 989,P=0. 014). Conclusions Compared with open debridement necrosectomy, the abdominal infection rate, digestive tract fistula rate and mortality of open surgical drainage were all significantly reduced , which may be a better treatment for WOPN.

Objective The risk of current pancreaticojejunostomy is carefully considered from the perspective of the morphology of remnant pancreas,and we aimed to discuss the clinical outcomes of selecting different pancreaticojejunostomy techniques based on pancreatic morphology.Methods This was a prospective cohort study.The histopathology of remnant pancreatic tissues was categorized into four types based on preoperative radiological images and intraoperative palpation:Type Ⅰ:pancreas with hard texture in palpation,pancreatic atrophy,dilated pancreatic duct larger than 5 mm and remnant pancreatic surface ＜3 cm;Type Ⅱ:pancreas with hard texture in palpation,pancreatic atrophy and mild dilatation of pancreatic duct with the diameter of 3-5 mm and remnant pancreatic surface ＜3 cm;Type Ⅲ:pancreas with slightly hard texture,no atrophy,and normal or slightly dilated pancreatic duct with the diameter of 3-5 mm and remnant pancreatic surface ≥3 cm;Type Ⅳ:pancreas with soft texture,normal morphology and pancreatic duct.Results From January 2008 to August 2017,116 consecutive patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our center.Among them,10 patients with type Ⅰ underwent classic pancreatic ductal mucosa to mucosa anastomosis.19 patients with type Ⅱ underwent classic end to end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy.45 patients with type Ⅲ underwent classic end to end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy with overlapping U sutures;42 patients with type Ⅵ underwent total invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy.The post-operative pancreatic fistula occurred in 6 patients (5.2％) with one patient died.Postoperative bleeding occurred in 10 patients (8.6％),and gastroparesis occurred in 22 patients (19.0％).Overall complication rate was 33.6％.Conclusions Classification of pancreatic morphology based on preoperative radiological images and intraoperative palpation and the selection of corresponding pancreaticojejunostomy technique is theoretically rational and has the advantage of potentially reducing the risk of remnant pancreatic tissue.

Objective:To compare the prognosis of pancreatic head cancer, uncinate process cancer and pancreatic neck cancer patients after undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods:The clinical data and follow-up data of 71 pancreatic cancer patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were analyzed retrospectively, Kaplan Meier method was used to compare the survival of postoperative patients. COX proportional risk model was used to analyze the survival of three groups of tumor.Results:In pancreatic cancer patients, uncinate process cancer and pancreatic neck cancer had more frequent vascular invasion, higher lymph node metastasis rate and lower R 0 resection rate than pancreatic head cancer (all P<0.05). Multivariate COX suggested that vascular invasion ( P=0.018), lymph node metastasis ( P=0.001), tumor site ( P=0.022 in uncinate process, P=0.000 in pancreatic neck) and R 0 resection ( P=0.000) were independent risk factors for prognosis. For pancreatic head cancer the 1-year recurrence rate was 43.8%, 3-year survival rate was 28.1%, median survival time was 20.0 months (95% CI 15.565-24.435). For uncinate process cancer 1-year recurrence rate was 61.5%, 3-year survival rate was 15.4%, median survival time was 14.0 months (95% CI 9.003-18.997) respectively.That was 69.2%, 7.7% and 10.0 months (95% CI 5.303-14.697) respectively for pancreatic neck cancer. Conclusion:Compared with pancreatic head cancer, uncinate process cancer and pancreatic neck cancer are associated with poorer prognosis because of frequent early vascular invasion, low R 0 resection rate and early local recurrence.

Objective:To study the epidemic situation of Marmota himalayana plague and Yersinias infection in Yugur Autonomous County of Sunan (Sunan County) of Gansu Province, and to provide new ideas for prevention and control of plague. Methods:From 2014 to 2018, liver and spleen, cecum, throat swabs and blood samples of Marmota himalayana were collected on the spot in Sunan County, where Yersinia strains were isolated and identified, and plague F1 antigen and antibody were detected. Results:A total of 634 liver and spleen samples, 427 cecum samples and 426 throat swabs samples were collected from Marmota himalayana, and 23 strains of Yersinia pestis, 2 strains of Yersinia marcescens, and 1 strain of Yersinia flexneri were detected, with the detection rates of 3.63% (23/634), 0.47% (2/427) and 0.23% (1/426), respectively. The detection rate of Yersinia pestis in different years was statistically significantly different (χ 2 = 13.19, P = 0.010). A total of 1 822 serum samples of Marmota himalayana were detected, and 5 F1 antibody positive samples were detected, with a positive rate of 0.27%, the difference of positive rate between different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 25.22, P < 0.001); 282 liver and spleen tissue homogenates of Marmota himalayana were detected, 22 F1 antigen positive samples were detected, the positive rate was 7.80%, and there was no statistically significant difference between different years (χ 2 = 7.85, P = 0.097). The 23 strains of Yersinia pestis detected were distributed in Mati Tibetan Township (12 strains), Dahe Township (6 strains) and Qifeng Tibetan Township (5 strains); 1 strain of Yersinia flexneri and 2 strains of Yersinia marcescens were both located in Dahe Township. Conclusion:There is an epidemic of plague among animals in Sunan County from 2014 to 2018, and the areas where Yersinia pestis and non pathogenic Yersinia are detected overlapped.
