Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and management strategies of late bleeding after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients with post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 42 males and 16 females, aged (61.88±11.02) years old. According to the occurrence of intra-abdominal erosion factors (e.g., pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, intra-abdominal abscess), patients were divided into the erosion group ( n=42) and non-erosion group ( n=16). All patients underwent standard lymphadenectomy. Clinical data including the PPH time-point, occurrence of rebleeding, and treatment outcomes were accessed. The management strategies of PPH in the two groups of patients were analyzed. Results:The PPH time-point in the erosion group and non-erosion patients was 8.00 (5.00, 19.25) d and 21.50 (12.75, 26.75) d, respectively ( P=0.001). PPH can occurred within one month after surgery in both erosion and non-erosion groups. In the erosion group, 31 cases (73.81%, 31/42) were treated by re-operation, two (4.76%, 2/42) by interventional radiology and nine (21.43%, 9/42) with conservative protocol, respectively. In the non-erosion group, five cases (31.25%, 5/16) were treated by re-operation, seven (43.75%, 7/16) by interventional radiology and four (25.00%, 4/16) with conservative protocol, respectively. The incidence of re-bleeding is higher in the erosion group [47.6% (20/42) vs 12.5% (2/16), P<0.05]. Clinical manifestations, sites and severity of bleeding, and treatment outcomes were also different in the erosion and non-erosion groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The occurrence of intra-abdominal erosion factors can affect the clinical characteristics and treatment strategy of late bleeding after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgery remains the treatment of choice for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage either as an urgent or last resort.

Objective:To observe the occurrence of medication deviation in elderly patients with chronic diseases, and analyze the related factors leading to its occurrence.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 164 elderly patients with chronic diseases who were discharged from the hospital after treatment from April 2021 to March 2022 as the study subjects.The pharmacists reviewed the patient's discharge medication and counted the occurrence of medication deviation.The patients were divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group, and the relevant data of the two groups and their attending physicians were analyzed and compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to test the influencing factors of medication deviation in elderly patients with chronic diseases. Results:Medication deviation were identified in 110 of the 164 patients, and the incidence of medication deviation was 67.1%.Compared with the non-occurrence group, the number of diseases, discharge prescriptions of patients were more, the differences were statistically significant( Z=2.552, t=3.063, both P<0.05). The age of attending physicians in the occurrence group were younger, and their working years were shorter, professional title was lower compared with those in the non-occurrence group( Z=3.754, 3.713, Z=2.016, P<0.05 for all); Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of diseases and discharge prescriptions were the risk factors for medication deviation in elderly patients with chronic diseases( OR=1.260, 1.227, both P<0.05); older age and longer working years of attending physicians were the protective factors for medication deviation( OR=0.925, 0.930, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of medication deviation in elderly patients with chronic diseases in our hospital is high.Number of chronic diseases, discharge prescriptions, younger age and relatively shorter working years of attending physicians may lead to medication deviation.

Objective:To study the single purse-string parachute suturing technique for pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, and to determine its feasibility and safety.Methods:The clinical data of 71 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy using the single purse-string parachute suturing technique for pancreaticojejunostomy from October 2018 to October 2021 at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 41 males and 30 females, with age (59.1±9.7) years old. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, complication rate and other data were analyzed.Results:All 71 patients successfully underwent total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, with 5 patients who underwent 2D laparoscopic surgery and 66 patients 3D laparoscopic surgery. There were additional vascular resection and reconstruction in 2 patients. The operative time was (388.9±92.9) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (411.3±176.9) ml, and the postoperative hospital stay was (14.1±5.8) d. The operation time of 71 patients who underwent the single purse-string parachute technique of pancreaticojejunostomy was (26.9±6.8) min. Postoperative complications occurred in 18 patients (25.4%). Grade B pancreatic fistula occurred in 2 patients (2.8%), and the longest time for removal of abdominal drain was 17 days after operation. Among the 71 patients, complications including biliary fistula occurred in 6 patients (8.5%), delayed gastric emptying in 5 patients (7.0%), pulmonary infection in 4 patients (5.6%), non-pancreatic fistula-related abdominal infection in 4 patients (5.6%), non-pancreatic fistula-related abdominal bleeding in 1 patient (1.4%), biliary tract bleeding in 1 patient (1.4%), and chylous leakage in 2 patients (2.8%).Conclusion:The single purse-string parachute technique of pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy had the advantages of being safe and reliable. The procedure is worthy of furthers promotion.

Objective:To understand the relationship between new-type drug use and high risk behavior in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shandong province.Methods:Cross-sectional surveys was conducted to collect the information about demographics, sexual and drug use behaviors of MSM and HIV-related services in MSM in three sentinel surveillance sites in Shandong from April to July in 2019. Blood samples were taken from the MSM for serological tests of HIV antibody and syphilis antibody.Results:A total of 1 203 MSM were included in this study. The average age of the MSM was 30.2±8.9 years. Among these MSM, 67.7 % (815) were unmarried; 66.9 % (805) had education level of college or above; 62.2 % (721/1 160) had unprotected sex behaviors and 16.3 % (189/1 160) had group sex behavior in the past six months and 54.2 % (652/1 203) ever used new-type drugs. HIV infection and syphilis prevalence rates were 3.1 % (37/1 203) and 4.7 % (56/1 203), respectively. Multivariable logistic analysis indicated that MSM who had unprotected anal sex in the past six months were more likely to be from Qingdao (a OR=1.59, 95 %CI:1.13-2.23), with education level of high school or below (a OR=1.61, 95 %CI: 1.20-2.16), with male sex partners from bars/dance halls or other venues (a OR=1.69, 95 %CI: 1.06-2.69), with HIV knowledge awareness score <6 (a OR=1.55, 95 %CI: 1.01-2.37), with ≥2 sex partner in the past week (a OR=1.48, 95 %CI: 1.12-1.95), to have group sex behaviors in the past six months (a OR=2.43, 95 %CI:1.61-3.67) and to use new-type drugs (a OR=1.46, 95 %CI: 1.11-1.91). MSM who had group sex were more likely to have following features: being from Qingdao (a OR=2.21, 95 %CI: 1.45-3.38), non-Shandong residents (a OR=2.13, 95 %CI: 1.28-3.55), HIV knowledge awareness score ≥6 (a OR=3.11, 95 %CI: 1.55-6.25), ever having unprotected anal sex behaviors (a OR=2.60, 95 %CI: 1.71-3.96) and ever having male commercial sex (a OR=3.38, 95 %CI: 1.92-5.95) in the past six months, ever using new-type drugs (a OR=2.71, 95 %CI: 1.82-4.04), and never having HIV testing in the past year (a OR=2.66, 95 %CI: 1.59-4.43). Conclusion:New-type drug use is common in MSM in Shandong. The use of new-type drugs promotes unprotected sex and group sex in MSM. Surveillance and intervention measures targeting this population should be strengthened.

Objective:To compare the characteristics of MSM with different types of primary sexual partners and to analyze the factors associated with MSM not being tested for HIV in the last six months.Methods:MSM were recruited in nine cities of Shandong Province from April to July 2021, and face-to-face questionnaires were conducted to collect information on sociodemographic characteristics, high-risk behaviors, and HIV testing of MSM. Blood samples were taken for serological tests of HIV and syphilis antibodies.Results:A total of 3 008 men who had anal sex with men in the last six months were divided into three groups according to the type of primary sexual partner in the last six months: the fixed sexual partner group (36.83%, 1 108/3 008), the commercial sexual partner group (3.06%, 92/3 008), and casual sexual partner group (60.11%, 1 808/3 008). There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of age, local residence time, education level, the primary place to find male sexual partners, use of new-type drugs in the last six months, consistent condom use every time during same-sex anal sex in the last six months, group sex in the last six months, no HIV testing in the last six months, having had a sexually transmitted disease in the last year, receiving peer education in the last year, and frequency of syphilis testing in the last year among different groups ( P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that related factors of not being tested for HIV in the last six months in MSM were those aged less than 30 years old (a OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.06-1.83), married/cohabiting (a OR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.39-2.16), high school education or less (a OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.15-1.67), had not used new-type drugs in the last six months (a OR=2.27, 95% CI: 1.89-2.71), had not received peer education in the last year (a OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.28-1.98), had never been tested for syphilis (a OR=11.30, 95% CI: 8.15-15.66), had not been tested in the last year but had been previously tested for syphilis (a OR=5.65, 95% CI: 4.19-7.62), the type of primary sexual partner in the last six months being a commercial sexual partner (a OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.01-3.20), and the type of primary sexual partner in the last six months being a casual sexual partner (a OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.26-1.80). Conclusions:The characteristics of MSM with different types of primary sexual partners are different, and the proportion of HIV testing still needs to be improved. In the future, we should make full use of the Internet and peer education to expand the coverage of HIV testing for MSM, targeting the characteristics of MSM with different types of primary sexual partners.
