Objective To investigate the outcomes of fetuses with hemolytic anemia caused by red cell alloimmunization following intrauterine transfusion (IUT),and to analyze the influence of hydrops fetalis on IUT treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 fetuses,who were admitted to the Fetal Medicine Center,the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2005 to May 2018,with hemolytic disease requiring IUT.Clinical data of the fetuses and the gravidas were collected and divided into hydrops group (17 cases) and non-hydrops group (53 cases) based on their conditions before IUT.Results of routine blood tests before and after the first IUT,gestational age at the first IUT,prognosis and outcomes of the fetuses were compared between two groups.t-test,rank-sum test,Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test) and multivariant logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.Results Totally,the 70 fetuses underwent 231 times of IUT.Compared with the non-hydrops group,the hydrops group had a significantly increased incidence of severe anemia [14/17 vs 47.2％ (25/53),x2=6.458,P=0.011],but decreased hemoglobin [(38.5 ± 21.4) vs (68.7± 19.3) g/L,t=5.471,P＜0.001] and hematocrit level [0.110 (0.044-0.246) vs 0.222 (0.077-0.299),Z=-4.390,P＜0.001] before the first IUT.After the IUT,the survival rate of the fetuses in hydrops group was significantly lower than that of the non-hydrops group [11/15 vs 94.3％ (50/53),P=0.038].There was no significant difference in gestational age at birth,birth weight,neonatal hemoglobin level at birth,the incidence of exchange transfusion,the number of blood transfusions required or the incidence of severe neonatal complication between the two groups (all P＞0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the fetal hydrops was an independent risk factor for fetal survival (OR=12.8,95％CI:1.2-136.4,P=0.035).Conclusions Hydrops fetalis might reduce the survival rate of fetal hemolytic disease after 1UT.

Objective:To compare between laparoscopic and open pancreaticoduodenectomy in the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD group, n=101) and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD group, n=99) in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Hunan people's Hospital from Jan 2015 to Dec 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph node dissection, R 0 resection rate, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and overall survival rate were compared between the two groups. Results:The operation time was (475.0±90.7) min and (444.8±63.3) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (350.9±397.9) ml and (546.7±642.9) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was (11.5±4.7) d and (13.3±5.1) d, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).The number of lymph node dissection was 14.8±3.0 and 15.4±2.4, the R 0 resection rate was 93.1% and 96.0%, respectively, and there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of residual complications ( P>0.05). During the follow-up of 5-64 months, the OS of 1, 3 and 5 years in the two groups were 90.4%, 41.3%, 20.6% and 94.3%, 50.8% and 24.7%, respectively. ( P>0.05). Conclusions:LPD is safe and feasible in the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma, and its short-term curative effect, curative effect and long-term overall survival rate are similar to those of OPD.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 989 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Hunan People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 349 patients in the laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) group and 640 patients in the open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the baseline data of the two groups at a 1: 1 ratio. Data including operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, bile leakage, pancreatic fistula and wound infection were compared between the two groups.Results:After PSM, there were 345 patients in each of the 2 groups. When the LPD group was compared with the OPD group, there were no significant differences in postoperative mortality, reoperation, intraoperative blood transfusion, pancreatic fistula, bile leakage, abdominal hemorrhage, abdominal abscess, severe complications, and pulmonary complication rates. The number of lymph node dissected, R 0 resection and overall survival rates between the two groups were also not significantly different ( P>0.05). However, the operation time of the LPD group (478.2±91.3) min was significantly longer than that of the OPD group (410.8±62.0) min ( P<0.05). On the other hand, the postoperative hospitalization time (10.8±4.3) d, intraoperative bleeding (322.0±362.6) ml, wound infection rate 1.2% (4/345) in the LPD group were significantly better than those in the OPD group [postoperative hospitalization time (12.5±7.9) d, intraoperative bleeding (478.8±570.2) ml, and wound infection rate 5.8% (20/345)] ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:LPD was safe and feasible, and it achieved similar curative effect as OPD.

Objective:To study the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery in treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent surgical treatment from January 2010 to January 2018 at Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 50 males and 8 females, ranging in age from 28 to 78 (53.0±10.8) years old. Patients were divided into laparoscopic group ( n=27) and laparotomy group ( n=31) according to different surgical procedures. The differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, postoperative anal exhaustion time, postoperative complications and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results:The intraoperative blood loss of laparoscopy group and laparotomy group were 100.0(50.0, 400.0) ml vs 300.0(100.0, 500.0) ml, the postoperative anal exhaustion time were (2.7±0.6) d vs (3.3±0.6) d, the hospital stay were (14.8±3.8) d vs (21.4±6.3) d, and these differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The operative time of the two groups were (243.4±27.2) min vs (217.5±34.7) min, with no statistical significance ( t=0.59, P=0.344). There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative complications (bile leakage, abdominal infection, hemorrhage, pleural effusion and hepatic encephalopathy) (all P>0.05); thetumor free survival, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival rates of the two groups were also not significantly different (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective in the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma, and its prognosis is similar to laparotomy, its complications are not significantly increased, which is worthy of promotion in clinic.
