Objective To evaluate surgical indications and method for regional pancreatoduodenectomy combined with blood vessel reconstruction. Methods Forty-four patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy combined with superior mesenteric vein and portal vein(smv-pv) resection and reconstruction between April 1994 and March 2001.Among them superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and hepatic artery (HA) were reconstructed in 4 and 2 cases, respectively. Partial resection of the anterior wall of the inferior vena cava was performed in one case for tumor invasion. Results The overall mortality was 7.1%,with no complications. The resected endothelium or margins of the blood vessel and pancreas were microscopically tumor free in all cases. Histological specimen examinations demonstrated adenocarcinoma of pancreas head in 43 cases, neuroendocrine adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in one case. Patients were followed-up from 3～87 months with 2 cases lost after PV/SMV for pancreatoduodectomy. Six patients have survived more than 5 yearsand 21 cases more than 3 years. Conclusion Regional pancreatoduodenectomy combined with reconstructionof blood vessel could increase tumor resection rate in properly selected patients and could be performed safely without increased morbidity and mortality.

Objective To establish a high-performance induction culture system for Raw264.7 cells to differentiate into osteoclasts(OC)invitro by improving the cell culture program.Methods The Raw264.7 cells were cultured withα-MEM medium containing 50 μg · L-1 M-CSF, 100 μg · L-1 RANKL, and 1 × 10-8 mol · L-1 1α,25-(OH)2 D3 in 5% CO2 for 12 d at 37℃. The cells were digested transiently every time before the medium was changed after every three days. The morphologic changes of the Raw264.7 cells were observed by inverted microscope.The maturation and phagotrophic function of OC were identified by HE,TRAP,FITC-phalloidin staining and immunofluorescence.Results The cells remained to grow in single layers all the time in most areas of the well during the whole induction by the improved culture program. The observation results of inverted microscope and HE staining showed that the growth area of the polykaryotic OC reached to 70% of the well on day 1 2. FITC-phalloidin staining showed that in the maturation of the OC, the cluster-shaped podosomes in the pseudopodia gradually transformed into rings,which finally fused to form a large belt surrounding the periphery of the cytoplasm. The calcitionin receptor (CTR) expressed by OC was markedly enhanced compared with the precursor cells by immunofluroescence staining,and a large number of red granules appeared in the cytoplasm of OC with TRAP staining on day 1 2. These results comfirmed that the obtained OC were maturated and owned phagotrophic function. Conclusion A high-performance induction culture system for Raw264. 7 cells to differentiate into OC in vitro induced by combination of 50μg · L-1 M-CSF, 100 μg · L-1 RANKL,and 1 × 10-8 mol·L-1 1α,25-(OH)2 D3 is established by improving the cell culture program.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between the cancer related fatigue and social support in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy. METHODS: According to the uniform inclusive and exclusive criteria, 396 breast cancer patients after chemotherapy were sampled randomly from 4 hospitals in Changsha and investigated on the spot by cancer fatigue scale and social support scale. RESULTS: The levels of social support, subjective support, Objective support, and utilization of support of the breast cancer patients after chemotherapy were 36.63±7.80, 21.05±4.67, 8.45±3.06, and 7.13±2.10, respectively, which were lower than the normal level, with significant difference(P<0.001). There was a negative correlation between each fatigue dimension and social support, subjective support, Objective support, and utilization of support (P<0.05 or P<0.001). CONCLUSION The social support system in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy is poor. There is a negative correlation between the social support system and cancer related fatigue.

OBJECTIVE: To study the relevance between cancer related fatigue and coping styles in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy. METHODS: A survey was conducted in 396 patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy on cancer related fatigue scale and Jalowiec coping scale, and the relation was analyzed. RESULTS: The rate of overall fatigue in breast cancer patients was 96.97%, mostly moderate fatigue. The rate of fatigue dimensions from high to low was physical fatigue, feeling fatigue and cognitive fatigue, respectively. The score of coping styles in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy from high to low was optimistic coping, facing bravely, support seeking, self-reliance, emotional catharsis, avoidance, fatalism, and conservation. The most widely used coping style was optimistic coping style, and the least was emotional catharisis. There was a positive correlation between coping style of emotional catharsis and cancer related fatigue of all dimensions (P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between emotional fatigue and optimistic,facing bravely, support seeking, self-reliance, or conservation (P<0.05). There was also a negative correlation between physical fatigue and optimistic or support seeking (P<0.05), but there was a positive correlation between avoidance or fatalism and the dimensions of general fatigue, physical fatigue, and cognitive fatigue (P<0.05). CONCLUSION There is prevalent cancer related fatigue in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy. We should guide the patients to more active coping styles, to enhance the ability of psychological adaption in patients, reduce cancer related fatigue, and improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the incidence of anatomic variations of hepatic artery and methods of procurement and reconstruction to prevent the accidental injury of the hepatic artery.Methods The clinical data of 843 patients receiving orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in our hos-pital from June 2001 to July 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Liver and kidney separate procure-ment was performed for 148 cases and abdominal organ combined procurement in 695. The variations of the hepatic artery as well as the relationship between the anomalous hepatic artery and accidental in-jury of the hepatic artery were analyzed. Results Anatomic variations of hepatic artery which were most frequently observed, were the right hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery and left hepatic artery originating from left gastric artery. The rate of the anomalous hepatic artery concomitancy increased along with elevation in the rate of accidental injury. Conclusion Abdominal or-gan combined procurement can reduce the incidence of accident injury of hepatic artery. Familiarity of the he-patic arterial variation and careful anastomosis are important to reduce injury of the hepatic artery.
