Objective To investigate the operation treatment of gallbladder carcinoma(GBC). Methods The clinical data of 132 patients with GBC from 1980 to 1999 were analysed. Results The mean age was 55 years and the occurrence sex ratio in female/male was 1.5∶1. Gallstone was found in 80% of the patients, and 87.1% of the GBC were adenocarcinoma. Before December 1990(forward group), simple cholecystectomy were performed on 11 cases, radical cholecystectomy on 9 cases, extended radical cholecystectomy on 5 cases, palliative extra- or intra- drainge on 15 cases, surgical biopsy on 30% cases. Hospital death occurred in 4 cases, the postoperative complications occurred in 20 cases including biliary fistula in 4 cases, pancreatic fistula in 2 cases. Since January 1991(latter group), radical simple cholecystectomy were performed on 2 cases, radical cholecystectomy on 16 cases, extended radical cholecystectomy on 24 cases; palliative extra- or intra- drainge in 9 cases, surgical biopsy on 8 cases. Hospital death occurred in 1 cases; postoperative complications in 12 cases, including biliary fistula in 1 cases, pancreatic fistula in 1 cases. Radical resection rate was 35.7% in forword group, 72.6% in latter group. Conclusions Surgical tech-nique progress and application with Peng's Multifunctional Operative Dissector can improve the resection rate of GBC. Extended redical resection is an effective and active method to treat middle or late stage GBC.

Objective To study the effects of enteral immunonutrition on immune function in patients with multiple trauma. Method A total of 32 patients with multiple trauma admitted to general ICU in ChangZheng hospital, Shanghai from March 2007 to May 2008 were randomly (random number) divided into two groups,enteral immunonutrition group (EIN group, n = 16)and the general formula enteral nutrition group (EN group, n = 16).Two groups of patients on the third day after injury began to accept the EIN and the general formula EN which respectively support at least 14 days. The patients peripheral blood lymphocyte count (TLC), immunoglobulin (IgG,IgM, IgA) ,and T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) were detected on the day of the group formation, the seventh and the fortteenth day of the nutritional support. Results TLC, IgG, IgM, IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher in EIN Group on the 7th and 14th day than that on the first day ( P <0.05), and extended with the EIN and sustained increase. All immunization indicators of EN group on the 7th day were no significant changes compared with the day of the group formation, and on the 14 th day TLC, IgG, IgM,IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher than that on the day of the group formation ( P < 0.05),but were significantly lower than that in the EIN group on the 14th day ( P < 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the general formula EN, EIN is more helpful to restore and increase the humoral and cellular immune function in early post-multitraumatic phase.
