To explore the operation methods and indications of the duodenoscopic papillotomy (IEST) with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (IENBD) for the treatment of duodenal papilla stenosis during the course of common bile duct operation.The clinical data of 219 cases of cholecystolithiasis with choledocholith and the stenosis of papillary underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy (IEST) plus endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (IENBD) in the Second People's Hospital of Chengdu were retrospectively analyzed.It was successful in 198 cases who had the gallbladder and common bile duct stones removed,and endoscopic papillary dissection was performed and the nasobiliary tube was successfully inserted.Nasobiliary drainage was successful in 186 cases (93.9%) of 198 cases.No liquid outflow was observed in nasobiliary drainage in 7 cases (3.5%).Nasal bile duct slipped early in 5 case (2.5%).Primary closure of bile duct incision was completed in 198 cases.It failed in 4 cases (2.0%) who had the bile leakage with primary closure of duct incision.Mild pancreatitis after operation occurred in 3 cases (1.5%).Nose bile duct ligation was performed in 1 case (0.5%).The overall postoperative complication rate was 4.0% (8/198).IEST + IENBD in open laparotomy was successful in 21 cases.No perforation of intestine and bile duct,bleeding,severe pancreatitis and other complications and death were detected postoperatively in two groups.During the course of laparoscopy and open laparotomy,IEST + IENBD in treating cholecystolithiasis with choledocholith and the stenosis of papillary and primary closure of duct incision after the endoscopic nasobiliary drainage is safe and effective.
2.Systemic therapeutic strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma: current status and prospects
Chinese Journal of Hepatology 2024;32(6):565-571
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common type of poorly prognosticated malignant tumor. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment method for early-stage HCC. However, at the time of the initial diagnosis, fewer than 30% of patients with liver cancer are suitable for radical therapy. Systemic therapy plays an important role in the treatment process of patients with intermediate- to advanced-stage HCC, as it can effectively extend patients’ survival time. With an emphasis on the status and role of systemic therapy for comprehensive management of HCC, this article summarizes the latest progress at home and abroad in the past five years, including first-line combined immunotherapy for advanced-stage HCC, second-line therapy selection, perioperative systemic therapy application, and combined therapy of systemic and local. Currently, the treatment model combined with local therapy has already become a new research hotspot in the treatment of advanced-stage HCC. Nevertheless, in the future, individualized and precise systemic therapeutic strategies will need further exploration.
