Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction. Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction who had been admitted to Beijing Hospital from January 2000 to January 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of the 6 patients, 4 were diagnosed according to the intraoperative findings, cholangiography and fiber cholangioscopy. The 4 patients were cured after suture of the perforation in the choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction, T-tube drainage and abdominal drainage. Two patients developed severe abdominal and retroperitoneal infection and other complications after operation, and were diagnosed by cholangiography and fiber cholangioscopy. Of the 2 patients, 1 was cured and 1 died after multiple drainage procedures and debridement. Conclusions Diagnosis and treatment in the early stage are crucial for the curative purpose. Cholangingraphy and fiber cholangioscopy are effective in the diagnosis of injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction. The suture of the perforation in the choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction, T-tube drainage and abdominal drainage should be chosen for patients who are diagnosed during primary operation. For patients with abdominal and retroperitoneal abscess and cellulitis, drainage and debridement should be performed, and biliopancreatic diversion and duodenal diverticularizatian are applied to patients when necessary.

Objective To evaluate effects of steep meridian clear corneal incisions on corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism in phacoemulsification surgery . Methods Clinical data of 56 cases of phacoemulsification surgery with steep meridian clear corneal incisions from August to December 2015 were analyzed in this retrospective study .Corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism were measured with the Pentacam 3D anterior segment measurement and analysis system at the time before surgery and 1 month and 3 months after surgery .The polar coordinate analysis was used to evaluate effects of steep meridian incisions on corneal astigmatism . Results All the operations were accomplished successfully with smooth recovery .The corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism reduced significantly after 1 month and 3 months in astigmatic polar value AKP ( +0) (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in AKP(+45) (P>0.05).No significant differences were detected between both corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism in AKP(+0) or AKP(+45) between 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Conclusion Steep meridian incision performed on the preoperative steeper meridian of keratometric astigmatism may reduce corneal total astigmatism .

Objective To investigate the changes of electrolyte metabolism in patients undergoing moderate elective abdominal operation,and explore its relationship with postoperative complications.Methods The clinical data of 1117 inpatients (age ≥ 18 years) who had undergone moderate elective abdominal operation in the Department of General Surgery of Beijing Hospital from January 1,2011 to December 31,2011 were retrospectively analyzed.They received postoperative fasting for ≥ 3 days,and the preoperative liver function and renal function were normal.The perioperative electrolyte changes and clinical outcomes were recorded.For patients with normal preoperative electrolytes but abnormal postoperative electrolytes,its potential correlations with the postoperative infections and total complications were analyzed.Results The rates of abnormal postoperative electrolytes were as follows:potassium,24.1％ ; sodium,6.4％ ; chloride,27.6％ ; calcium,61.7％ ; magnesium,16.3％ ; and phosphorus,71％.The vast majority of ion levels were below the normal levels.The total complication rate was 19.7％ and the postoperative infection rate was 17.19％.Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the postoperative total and infective complications were significantly associated with the increased (P =0.007) or decreased (P =0.007) serum potassium,the decreased serum sodium (P =0.016),the decreased serum phosphorus (P =0.004),and the decreased magnesium (P =0.049).Conclusions Electrolyte decrease is common after moderate elective abdominal operations.There is a certain correlation between postoperative electrolyte decrease and postoperative complications.Therefore,attention should be paid to maintain electrolyte balance during the perioperative period.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of hypocaloric enteral nutrition in patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A total of 100 patients with severe TBI [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 3-8 points] were enrolled and randomly divided into hypocaloric enteral nutrition group (hypocaloric group, 41.86-62.79 kJ · kg-1 · d-1) and traditional caloric enteral nutrition group (traditional caloric group, 104.65-125.58 kJ · kg-1 · d-1) ,50 patients per group.The enteral nutrition was given at 24-72 hours postoperatively.The changes of total serum protein (TP), serum-albumin (ALB), plasma hemoglobin (Hb), fasting blood glucose (Glu) and major gastrointestinal tract complications were observed and compared at 7 and 14 days after enteral nutrition support.Results Levels of TP, ALB and Hb were lowered in both groups at 7 and 14 days after nutritional support but showed no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).Glu was (6.37 ± 1.02) mmol/L in hypocaloric calorie group, significantly lower than (7.35 ± 1.70) mmol/L in traditional caloric group at day 7 after nutritional support (P ＜ 0.05).At 7 and 14 days after nutrition support, nausea, regurgitation, vomiting and complication incidence showed no significant difference between hypocaloric calorie group and traditional caloric group after nutritional support (P ＞ 0.05), but abdominal distension, diarrhea and stomach retention rate in hypocaloric group were significantly lower than those in traditional caloric group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hypocaloric enteral nutrition can significantly reduce the stress hyperglycemia, abdominal distention, diarrhea, gastric retention and other gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with acute severe TBI.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition among hospitalized elderly abdominal surgical patients with malignant tumors.MethodsTotally 269 elderly patents ( ≥ 65 years) with malignant tumor who were hospitalized in our department of abdominal surgery from December 2009 to November 2010 were consecutively enrolled.Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 ( NRS 2002 ) was performed on the next morning after admission.Body mass index (BMI) lower than 18.5 kg/m2 was considered as malnutrition.Results The NRS 2002 was completed in all the 269 enrolled patients.The overall prevalence of malnutrition was 30.1％ (81/269) ; more specifically,37.5％ (21/56) among geriatric patients ( ≥80 years) and 17.6％ (43/245) among the other age groups (P =0.001 ).The overall rate of nutrition risk was 38.3％ (103/269) ; more specifically,57.1％ (32/56) among the geriatric patients and 29.3％ (72/245) among the other age groups (P ＜0.001 ).The rate of nutrition risk in patients with pancreas cancer was 58.3％,which was higher than other elderly patients; on the contrary,and the rate of nutrition risk in the patients with colorectal cancer was relatively lower.ConclusionThe rates of nutrition risk and malnutrition in hospitalized elderly abdominal surgical patients ( ≥ 65years) with malignant tumor are relatively higher than other age groups,especially among the geriatric patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical outcome of the combined nutrition support for colorectal cancer patients.MethodsTwo research arms were obtained using a cohort sampling method.Ann A ( the study group): from 2009 to 2010,30 colorectal cancer patients were enrolled.They received nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002 after admission.Nutritional risk was defined as NRS 2002 score ≥3 three days before operation.Patients with nutritional risk received enteral nutrition (EN) for bowel preparation without laxative drug and enema.After operation,they received EN combined with parenteral nutrition (PN) supports provided.Arm B (control group): 30 cases with historically confirmed colorectal cancer were enrolled from 2007 to 2008.They received routine bowel preparation (diet control,laxative drug,and enema) and PN supports after operation.Nutritional parameters,the rate of infectious complications,the rate of systemic inflammatory response syndrome,and the duration of hospital stay were analyzed.ResultsThere were no significant difference in body weight and plasma albumin between these two arms ( P ＞ 0.05 ). The incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (13.3 ％ ),infectious complications (10.0％ ),and the duration of hospital stay [ (12.3 ± 6.5 ) d ] in arm A were significantly lowerthan those in arm B [33％,30％,and (15.0 ±7.2) d,respectively] (P =0.038,P =0.042,P =0.045).Conclusion For the colorectal cancer patients,nutritional risk screening on admission,bowel preparation with eneral nutrition before operation,and combined nutritional support after operation can improve the clinical outcome.

ObjectiveTo study the feasibility and technique in liver transplantation (LT) in an adult with situs inversus (SI) and reviewed the medical literature on this subject.MethodsA 45-year-old male with complete SI,suffered from progressive hepatic failure secondary to hepatolithiasis,obstructive jaundice,portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis.He underwent liver transplantation in July 2004.His anatomy was studied by preoperative CT scan and three-dimensional liver reconstruction imaging and angiography.LT was performed using the modified piggyback technique.The donor right liver was rotated 45 degree to the left,making the donor left liver pointing to the left paracolic sulcus and the donor right liver was in the recipient hepatic fossa.The donor suprahepatic vena cava was anastomosed end-to-side to the recipient vena cava,and the infrahepatic vena cava was closed by oversewing.ResultThe patient recovered uneventfully.His liver function was stable during a follow-up of 75 months.ConclusionLT in patients with SI is safe and feasible.Exact determination of the anatomy,comprehensive preoperative planning,and good technique in liver transplantation play important roles in LT for patients with SI.

Objective To summarize the perioperative clinical care experience of parenteral and enteral nutrition supports in post-hepatectomy patients.Methods The clinical data of 146 consecutive post-hepatectomy patients in Beijing Hospital were collected and analyzed.For these patients,nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002 was performed after admission,enteral nutrition support was provided before operation,and enteral and parenteral nutrition supports were provided after operation.Nutritional parameters,clinical outcomes,and nursing methods were evaluated.Results Among these 146 patients,91 patients had≥3 NRS2000 scores,and the remaining 55 patients scored ＜ 3.A total of 118 patients were administrated with enteral and pareteral nutrition;the average enferal nutrition time was 9.6 days,and the average pareteral nutrition time was 5.4 days.The average onset time of passage of gas by anus afar operation was (70.7±17.1) hours.Three patients died,15 patients suffered from infections after operation,and 13 patients experienced other complications.The median hospital stay was 25.5 days.Conclusions Post-hepatectomy patients need take nutritional risk screening after admission and receive appropriate nutritional supports in the perioperative period.It is equally important to strengthen clinical nursing for nutrition support.
