Objective To explore the management of unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma (UGC) discovered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods From January 2000 to May 2007, 15 560 cases of LC were performed in our hospital, UGC was discovered in 28 of the cases. Clinical data of the 28 patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 28 cases of UGC, 12 were discovered intraoperatively, and 16 were diagnosed postoperatively.Radical cholecystectomy was performed on the 12 cases who were detected during the operation,and 5 of the 16 patients who were diagnosed after the operation.LC was carried out in the remaining 11 cases. Postoperative pathological examination showed TNM stageⅠin 3 cases, stageⅡin 23, and stage Ⅲ in 2. The patients were followed up for 7-66 months with a mean of 22 months. During the period, 19 patients died. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate of the 17 patients who received radical cholecystectomy were 76.5% (13/17), 23.5% (4/17), and 11.8% (2/17), respectively. Whereas, in the 11 patients who underwent LC, the 1-year survival rate was 45.4%; moreover, none of the 11 survived for more than 2 years. Conclusions For high-risk population, attention should be paid to UGC during operation. Most of the UGCs discovered during LC are early-stage carcinomas, which should be treated with standard radical cholecystectomy, but not LC.

BACKGROUND: Rat models induced by unilateral nephrectomy combined with adriamycin are widely used in screening anti-drugs of glomerular sclerosis. However, few reports concerning this method on inducing rabbit model of glomerular sclerosisOBJECTIVE: To establish a rabbit model of glomerular sclerosis, and to observe the renal function and histopathological changes during model preparation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled animal experiment was performed in Laboratory Animal Center of Kunming General Hospital of Chengdu Military Region between December 2008 and May 2009. MATERIALS: Twenty-five Japanese big-ear rabbits, weighing 1.75-2.25 kg, half males and half females, were selected to establish glomerular sclerosis models, and randomly divided into normal (n=10) and model (n=15) groups. METHODS: The left kidney of rabbits in the model group was removed under anesthetized with 30g/L saline solution of sodium pentobarbital (1 mL/kg). Rabbits in the normal group underwent a similar surgical procedure without kidney removing. At 1 week after operation, 5 mg/kg adriamycin was injected into rabbits in the model group, 3 mg/kg adriamycin was reinjected 2 weeks later. Same volume of physiological saline was injected in the normal group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The renal blood biochemical indexes were detected prior to and at weeks 4, 6, and 8 after model preparation. One nephridial tissue was harvested from each group to undergo pathological observation at week 8 after the second medication. RESULTS: ①Kidney in the normal group presented slightly white, slightly tough texture with smooth surface. ②Pathological features of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis was showed in the model group under a light microscope, presented as extracellular matrix hyperplasia, mesangial region expansion, renal glomerular capillary wall ball mix adhesion, tubule degeneration, or even interstitial fibrosis, as well as interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cells. ③Compared to the normal group, the total protein and albumin was and decreased, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, urea nitrogen, and creatinine were significantly increased in the model group. The urine protein content of rabbits in the model group was obviously increased at 4 weeks, gradually reached a platform after 8 weeks, which still greater than that of the normal group. ④SPECT showed that the glomerular filtration rate of the model group was notably decreased (33 mL/min) than the normal group (92.6 mL/min).CONCLUSION: The unilateral nephrectomy combined with adriamycin in rabbits results in the formation of glomerular sclerosis, renal function and 24 h urinary protein is more visible in the phase change.

Objective To investigate the changes of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in elderly patients with septic shock, and to evaluate the effects of the changes on 28-day mortality rate.Methods The 75 consecutive elderly patients with septic shock were recruited from December 2006to December 2008, and the general states and clinical characteristics of them were analyzed. The CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3 regulatory T cells and human leucocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) were measured by flow cytometer at the 1st, 4th and 7-10th day of septic shock after being diagnosed. Results The patients were at an average age of (69.2±7.5) years, and the 28-day mortality rate was 53.3%.There were no significant differences in the percentage of CD4 + CD25+ FoxP3/CD4+T cells between the survivors and the non-survivors at the 1st day (1.76 % ±0.31% vs. 1.68 %±0.24 %, P>0.05)and the 4th day (1.94%±0.32% vs. 1.82% ±0.28%, P>0.05). However, compared with the survivors, non-survivors had a higher percentage of CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3/CD4+ T cells (2.65%±0.28% vs. 1.79%±0.27%, P<0.01) at the 7-10th day of septic shock after being diagnosed.Furthermore, from the 4th day to the 7-10th day, the expressions of monocyte HLA-DR in the nonsurvivors were significantly lower than in the survivors (P<0. 01), and they were inversely correlated with the percentage of CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3/CD4+ T cells at the 4th day (r=-0.39, P=0.023) and the 7-10th day (r= -0. 58, P<0. 01) respectively. The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the percentages of CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3/CD4+ T cells (OR = 3.47, 95% CI: 1.33-10.0) and HLA-DR (OR= 0. 27, 95% CI: 0.14-0.73) were independent predictors of 28-day mortality rate.Conclusions Persistent higher percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Treg cells in the elderly patients with septic shock indicates that the patients are under the states of immunosuppression and have a higher risk ofmortality in intensive care unit at admission.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and minimally invasive interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.Methods:Data of 40 patients with I-II degree single level degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis from January 2018 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the operation procedure, they were divided into two groups: OLIF group and MI-TLIF group, and each group had 20 patients. There were 15 males and 5 females in the OLIF group, aged 50.3±8.8 years; and there were 13 males and 7 females in the MI-TLIF group, aged 51.7±8.7 years. According to the Meyerding's grade system, there were 16 patients of type I in the OLIF group and 15 cases in the MI-TLIF group; and there were 4 patients of type II in the OLIF group and 5 cases in the MI-TLIF group. The operation time, intra-operative hemorrhage, postoperative drainage, recessive blood loss and albumin loss were recorded. The CRP and ESR on the third day after operation, the VAS score and ODI score before and after operation were recorded. The lumbar lordosis (LL), fused segmental lordosis (FSL) and disc height (DH) before and after operation were recorded. The time of getting out of bed and walking and the hospital stay were recorded. Paired t-test was used to analyze the data.Results:Forty patients successfully underwent the operation. The operation time of OLIF group was 96±20 min, with intraoperative blood loss of 61±32 ml and postoperative drainage volume of 18±8 ml. The operation time of MI-TLIF group was 132±26 min, with intraoperative blood loss of 262±102 ml and postoperative drainage volume of 95±42 ml; and there was statistical difference between the two groups ( t=4.901, 8.404, 8.064; P< 0.001). On the third day after operation, the occult blood loss was 139±47 ml in the OLIF group and 486±192 ml in the MI-TLIF group; the albumin loss was 4.2±1.9 g/L in the OLIF group and 10.2±3.9 g/L in the MI-TLIF group; CRP was 34±11 mg/L in the OLIF group and 106±39 mg/L in the MI-TLIF group; ESR was 41±15 mm/1 h in the OLIF group and 71±24 mm/1 h in the MI-TLIF group, and there all were statistical differences between the two groups ( t=7.838, 6.184, 7.983, 4.675; P< 0.001). The VAS scores were 2.2±1.5, 1.8±1.3 and ODI scores were 14%±11%, 59%±17%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups. The LL were 33.41°±9.25°, 32.07°±9.54°, FSL were 11.59°±5.09°, 10.61°±4.56° and DH were 10.35±2.30 mm, 10.85±1.85 mm, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups. The follow-up time was 13.5±2.3 months in the OLIF group and 14.1±2.8 months in the MI-TLIF group. Three patients in the MI-TLIF group had radiation pain in the lower extremity on the third day after operation, which relieved after NSAID drugs and mannitol treatment. In the group of OLIF, the skin temperature of the left lower extremity increased in 1 case on the first day after operation, in which sympathetic chain injury was considered, and the patient recovered after 2.5 months; in the group of OLIF, the numbness in the front of the left thigh and the weakness of flexion of the hip was found in 3 cases, in which the edema or injury of the psoas major muscle was considered. Conclusion:Compared with MI-TLIF in the treatment of I, II degree single segment degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, OLIF has the advantages of shorter operation time, less intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, lower inflammation index, earlier time to get out of bed and shorter hospital stay. However, the outcomes of the two surgeries were similar.
