Objective:To investigate the related factors of pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of 189 patients who underwent LADG in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2017 to March 2018. Twenty-seven patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula and 27 randomly selected normal patients were included in the study. The preoperative characteristics and surgical data of all patients were recorded, including body mass index, visceral fat area, past history, preoperative tumor staging, operation time and bleeding volume, etc. The related factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula were analyzed. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between groups. Results:The patients with high body mass index ( t=3.956, P=0.003), high visceral fat area ( t=6.161, P=0.038), long operation time ( t=2.650, P=0.024), profuse hemorrhage ( t=1.887, P=0.042), complete lymphadenectomy ( t=2.092, P=0.001) were prone to postoperative pancreatic fistula, while there was no significant difference of visceral fat area/total abdominal fat area ( χ2=1.334, P=0.324), preoperative with pulmonary diseases ( χ2=0.750, P=0.379), coronary heart disease ( χ2=0.081, P=0.500), hypertension ( χ2=0.667, P=0.239), diabetes mellitus ( χ2=2.030, P=0.127), chronic kidney disease ( χ2=0.587, P=0.352), tumor stage( χ2=1.388, P=0.500) and other factors between the two groups. Conclusions:Obesity patients and LADG patients with long operation time are more likely to have postoperative pancreatic fistula. Comprehensive preoperative assessment and prudent intraoperative operation may be one of the effective methods to avoid postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Background: There are obvious changes in neuropeptides from plasma and cerebrospinal fluid in patients with vascular dementia (VaD), and regulating the levels of neuropeptides is a key for prevention and treatment of VaD. Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion at head-points in treatment of vascular dementia (VaD), and assess its effects on memory-related neuropeptides. Design, setting, participants and interventions: A total of 65 VaD patients from Acupuncture Hospital, Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, were randomly divided into moxibustion group (33 cases) and Western medicine group (32 cases). Patients in the moxibustion group were treated with indirect moxibustion with common monkshood cake for 20 min. Patients in the Western medicine group were orally administered piracetam tablets, 0.8 g for three times a day. One treatment course was 4 weeks, and they were treated for 4 treatment courses. Main outcome measures: The scores of Hasegawa's Dementia Scale (HDS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL), as well as the levels of learning and memory-related neuropeptides from cerebrospinal fluid such as somatostatin (SS) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were measured before and after treatment in the two groups. Results: Total response rate was significantly higher in the moxibustion group than in the Western medicine group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in scores of HDS, MMSE and ADL between before and after treatment in the two groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, the scores of HDS, MMSE and ADL in the moxibustion group were more improved as compared with those in the Western medicine group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The levels of SS and AVP after treatment were higher than those before treatment in the two groups(P<0.01). After treatment, the increased levels of SS and AVP were higher in the moxibustion group than in the Western medicine group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Moxibustion is effective in improving the clinical symptom scores and regulating the levels of neuropeptides associated with learning and memory in VaD patients.

Background Recently,whether the epithelial flaps should be removed or preserved during the Epi-LASIK and its affection on clinical results are concerned.Objecfive This system analysis was to evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness between on-flap Epi-LASIK and off-flap epi-LASIK for myopia. Methods A systematic literature retfieval was conducted in the MEDLINE,EMBase,Coehrane Library,CBM disc,CNKI from 2003 through 2009.The possible differences in reepithelization time,pain sensation,and haze after surgery were compared between on-flap and off-flap Epi-LASIK for myopia.The statistical analysis was performed using a RevMan 4.2 software.The data was extracted,and the methodological quality was evaluated by two reviewers independently with weighted mean difierence(WMD)for the effectiveness analysis and odds ratio(OR)for counting variable.The quality of included literature was scored according to the Jadad Scale. Results A total of 8 studies involving 251 patients(502 eyes)were included in the meta-analysis.Of these eight studies.five studies were randomized clinical trials and the other three studies were retrospective cohort studies.Compared with on-flap Epi-LASIK group,off-flap Epi-LASIK group had a better postoperative outcome in the mean reepithelization time(WMD=1.32,95％CI-1.82to-0.82,P<0.01)and pain scores at 3,5 day(WMD=-O.99,95％CI-1.71 to-0.28,P(0.01)(WMD=-0.94.95％CI-1.35 to-0.54,P<0.01)after surgery.No significant difierenees were found in the eye numbers of haze at 1 month(OR=0.62,95％C1 0.34 to 1.12,P=0.11),3 months(OR=0.70,95％C1 0.31 to 1.55,P=0.38)and 6 months(OR=1.14,95％C1 0.58 to 2.26,P=0.71)between these two types of operation.The pain scores at the first day after surgery was not significantly different between these two groups(WMD=-0.17,95％CI -0.55 to 0.20,P=0.37). Conclusion The effectiveness of off-flap Epi-LASIK is superior to on-flap Epi-LASIK for myopia.Some high-quality randomlizd and control studies are needed for the further clinical evaluation.

To observe the reliability and short-term and mid-term efficacy of a new designed multi-functional lacrimal sac nasal drainage stent on the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction after endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy ( EES-DCR ) , and to evaluate its clinical application value. METHODS: A retrospective case series study was carried out. Seventy - six patients ( 79 eyes ) with nasolacrimal duct obstruction underwent EES-DCR and a new type of multi-functional lacrimal sac nasal drainage stent was implanted. The nasal lacrimal drainage stent was pulled out 2~3mo later after surgery and the patients received 3~6mo follow-up afterwards. RESULTS: ln 79 eyes, stents were successfully implanted in 77 eyes (97. 5%). All stents of 77 eyes could be pulled out successfully 2 ~ 3mo after the operation. Sixty eyes were cured with unobstructed lacrimal irrigation and symptom of epiphora disappeared;15 eyes were improved of epiphora and mild reflux during lacrimal irrigation were found, overall effective rate was 97. 4%, 2 eyes failed in stent implantation. ln 6mo follow-up, nocomplications such as stent displacement or slip was occurred, the epithelization of anastomotic stoma was good.CONCLUSlON: Surgical technique of using the multi-function nasolacrimal stent is simple and fast, and implantation of the new designed stents has a rapid recovery with fewer complications. The usage of the new stents not only improves the success rate but also broadens surgical indications of EES-DCR, it is a safe and effective method for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
