Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods One hundred SAP patients (including 41 gallstone,26 alcoholism,13 hypertriglyceridemia,11 after heavy meals,and 9 unknown) who were admitted into our hospital from January 2013 to October 2017 were assigned to the CRAI group (n =58) and the control group (n =42).The levels of laboratory measurements,hospitalization time and costs,complications and outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results On the sixth and tenth day of treatment,the levels of white blood cell,hemodiastase,urine amylase,blood glucose,blood calcium and APACHE-Ⅱ score improved in both the 2 groups.The degrees of improvement in the CRAI group were better than that in the control group.The abdominal pain relief time [(3.3± 1.2)d vs.(5.9±2.3)d],hemodiastase recovery time [(7.9±1.8)d vs.(13.3±2.5)d],and hospitalization stay [(21.3±3.6)d vs.(32.4±4.3)d] were shorter in the CRAI group.The costs were similar in the two groups.Retroperitoneal infection,pancreatic pseudocyst,and pancreatic drainage were less in the CRAI group.The improved and cure rates were 94.8% and 70.7% in the CRAI group,which were higher than those in the control group (71.4% and 47.6%,respectively).Moreover,the ineffective treatment and mortality rates were 5.2% and 1.7% in the CRAI group,which were lower than those in the control group (28.6% and 14.3%,respectively).Conclusions CRAI was an efficacious and safe treatment for patients with SAP.It can be used as an alternative to other effective treatments.

Objective:To study the effect of internal drainage tube and T tube in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.Methods:The data of 103 patients who underwent laparoscopic common bile duct exploration for the treatment of choledocholithiasis from January 2016 to April 2021 in Dongguan Kanghua Hospital were analyzed, including 50 males and 53 females, aged (50.3±17.2) years old, the age range was 15 to 90 years old. A total of 103 patients were randomly divided into T tube group ( n=60), who received laparoscopic cholecystectomy + choledocholithotomy and stone removal+ T tube drainage, and self-dropping stent group ( n=43), who received laparoscopic cholecystectomy + choledocholithotomy and stone removal + placed with self-dropping stent. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, postoperative hospital stay and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results:The operation time of self-dropping stent group was (107.2±26.1) min, intraoperative blood loss 10(5, 10) ml, and postoperative hospital stay (6.5±3.5) d, which were better than those of T tube group (143.5±52.7) min, 10(10, 20) ml, (8.8±3.8) d, the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). There were no significant difference in postoperative drainage volume and postoperative complications between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion:The internal drainage tube in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration is a safe and reliable surgical method for the treatment of choledocholithiasis, which can significantly shorten the hospitalization time of patients.
