Objective To summarize the clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas(SPTP),and to work out the diagnosis and treatment process which matches the conditions of China.Methods The clinical data of consecutive 50 patients with SPTP who had been admitted to our hospital from January 2001 to March 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Of all patients,3 were male and 47 female.Their median age Was 24 years(13-60 years).Preoperative imaging examination revealed typical findings and tumor markers were negative.SPIP of 23 cases were located in the head of pancreas,3 in the neck of pancreas,2 in the uncinate process of pancreas.3 in the body of pancreas,18 in the tail of pancreas,and the location of SPTP of 1 case was uncertain.Forty-eight patients underwent the operation of SPTP resection,1 of exploratory laparotomy and 1 of CT-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of metastatic lesions.Results Forty-nine out of 50 patients were diagnosed"pancreatic mass"preoperatively.Eighteen of the 32 patients with intact tumor capsule and 11 of the 16 patients without intact tumor capsule underwent operation without pathological examination.Thirty-two patients were followed up for 3-55 months,and no metastasis or invasion of the SPTP was observed.Conclusions Yong females are in the high risk group of SPTP.CT is the most valuable preoperative imaging test.Complete surgical resection is the first choice treatment with good prognosis.Resection of the head of pancreas with the preservation of duodenum and resection of body and tail of pancreas+splenectomy are the commou modalities used for the treatment of SPTP.The intactness of the tumor capsule is an important factor in making surgical plan and deciding the necessity of intraoperative frozen section pathological examination.The most common postoperative complication of SPTP resection is pancreatic fistula.

Objective To retrospectively study the variation of glucose in patients with insulinomas. Methods The medical records of patients who underwent operations in the last 20 years at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who received repeated operations, or just exploratory laparotomy or liver biopsy were excluded. The clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results There were 245 patients, including 103 males and 142 females. The mean age was (42.2+ 14.6) years old. The mean value of preoperative fasting glucose was (1.47+0. 57) mmol/L, and the ratio of insulin to glucose was greater than 0.3 in 87.4% patients. The glucose level rose gradually after removal of the tumor(s). The blood sugar rising more than 1 time over the baseline value at one hour after resection was observed in 79.6% patients. For all the other patients, the glucose level rose to this level in the morning of the first postoperative Day 1. Rebound hyperglycemia was common after operations, and the glucose gradually returned to normal, with a mean level of 5.56 mmol/L at the time when the patients were discharged home. Conclusions Patients with insulinomas had a serum fluctuation in glucose (low→high→normal) during the perioperative period.Intraoperative glucose test combined with ultrasound and frozen section helped to localize and to remove all the lesions. Rebound hyperglycemia after surgery should be treated with insulin pump actively to minimize the incidence of complications.

Objective To determine the effecting factors for diagnosis of binign or malignant in cystic lesions of pancreas(CLP).Methods One hundred twenty-six patients undergoing operations for CLP or suspected CLP in this hospital from January 1984 to June 2008 were reviewed.Patients were divided into two groups according to lesion's histological features after operation.The predictive effect of various preoperative factors on the malignant potential of CLP was evaluated.Results One hundred twenty-six patients underwent operations for suspected pancreatic cystic neoplasms.There were 89 benign and 37 malignant CLPs.The univariate analysis showed that gender, clinical symptoms(jaundice and weight loss), elevated serum CA199, and presence of one or more of three morphologic features such as solid component, nodule or septation were significantly different between benign and malignant cystic neoplasm of pancreas.The multivariate analysis indicated that imaging features and gender were independent predictors of malignancy.Conclusion In patients with suspected pancreatic cystic neoplasms, elevated serum CA199, clinical symptoms(jaundice and weight loss)and presence of suspicious morphologic features on imaging are predictors of malignant potential of CLP.Patients with a high likelihood of a potentially malignant or malignant lesion based on these three factors should undergo operation without additional investigations.

Objective To evaluate the post-operative glucose level and insulin dose of patients undergoing total pancreatectomy.Methods From September 1980 to September 2014, 21 patients underwent total pancrea-tectomy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, who were enrolled in our study.We reviewed the changes in their insulin dosage and glucose levels after operation, also summarized type and dose of insulin as well as glucose level in stable period.Results The required insulin dose reached peak within 4 days after surgery ( maximum dose 300 U/d).The average dose was (143.5 ±62.8) U/d and decreased gradually.During the perioperative period (needing parenteral nutrition), the blood glucose level fluctuated markedly (1.52-29.06 mmol/L) and the average level was (11.18 ±0.95) mmol/L.During the stable period ( without parenteral nutrition) , patients on average had (5.3 ±2.0) U of preprandial rapid-acting insulin and (8.1 ±2.9) U of long-acting insulin be-fore sleeping;the average fasting blood glucose was (6.69 ±1.48) mmol/L, 2 h postprandial blood glucose was (9.08 ±2.84) mmol/L, bedtime blood glucose was (9.66 ±2.49) mmol/L, and blood glucose level at night was (8.15 ±2.78) mmol/L.67%of the patients had 13 hypoglycemic episodes monthly on average.For those five followed-up patients, the average hemoglobin A1c was (6.15 ±1.20)%.Conclusions Patients undergoing total pancreatectomy may experience marked fluctuation of blood glucose level and short-term increase of insulin need which gradually decreases afterwards.After entering the stable period, the glucose level could be well-con-trolled but with frequent hypoglycemia.There is no diabetic ketoacidosis.

Objective To summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic experiences for multiple insulinoma. Methods Clinical data of 34 cKsefl of multiple insulinoma treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 1984 and 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Multiple insulinoma was identified in these 34 cases for 37 instances.Malignant insulinoma was found in 2 cases.Three cases suffered from postoperative recurrent multipie tumors.35.3% cases belonged to MEN1;13.5% cases were of insulinoma combined with islet hyperplasia;43.2% cases had 3 or more than 3 insulinomas;Fifteen cases (40.5%)had had a misdiagnosis.45.2%tumors were smaller than 1 cm in diameter:88.9%multiple insulinonla located at the body and tail of the pancreas.Enucleation of multiple tumors was performed for 48.7 percent of cases. Conclusions Most multiple insulinomas were small,it was difficult for preoperative examination to locate all the tumors therefore.Being on the alert against multiple insulinoma and such measures as careful exploration,intraoperative blood glucose determination.fine needle aspiration biopsy,frozen sections helps to avoid missing multiple imuhnoma.

Objective To investigate the imaging anatomy and clinical significance of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal veins (IPDVs).Methods The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 42 patients with pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma who were admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January to June 2018 were collected.There were 24 males and 18 females,aged from 41 to 78 years,with an average age of 61 years.Patients received preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination with 1 mm slice thickness,and underwent corresponding surgery according to the preoperative evaluation.Observation indicators:(1) results of preoperative CT examination;(2) surgical situations.Normality of measurement data was analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (QR) or M (range),and comparison between groups was analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test.Count data were described as absolute number or percentage,and comparison between groups was analyzed by the chi-square test.Results (1) Results of preoperative CT examination:42 patients received preoperative contrast-enhanced CT examination with 1 mm slice thickness.① The first jejunal venous trunk was identified in all the 42 patients.The first jejunal venous trunk crossed dorsal to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in 34 patients and ventral to the SMA in 8 patients.② Of 42 patients,2 showed no IPDV,and 40 showed IPDV including 23 with 1 IPDV,13 with 2 IPDVs,3 with 3 IPDVs,and 1 with 4 IPDVs.A total of 62 IPDVs were identified in the 42 patients,with an average IPDV number of 1 (range,0-4).There were 43 IPDVs drained into first or second jejunal venous trunks and 19 IPDVs drained into superior mesenteric vein (SMV).③ Of 42 patients,type Ⅰ IPDV was identified in 32 patients including 20 with 1 IPDV drained into jejunal venous trunk at dorsal side of SMA,7 with 2 IPDVs drained into jejunal venous trunk at dorsal side of SMA,2 with 3 IPDVs drained into jejunal venous trunk at dorsal side of SMA,and 3 with 1 IPDV drained into jejunal venous trunk at ventral side of SMA,and non-type Ⅰ IPDV was identified in 10 patients;type Ⅱ IPDV was identified in 18 patients including 17 with 1 IPDV drained into SMV and 1 with 2 IPDVs drained into SMV,and non-type Ⅱ IPDV was identified in 24 patients.Some patients can simultaneously had type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ IPDV.(2) Surgical situations:42 patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy,14 of which underwent laparoscopic surgery and 28 underwent open surgery.There were 5 cases with SMV or portal vein reconstruction,and 18 with intraoperative blood transfusion.All the 42 patients were diagnosed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by postoperative pathological examination,including 30 of R0 resection and 12 of R1 resection.The volume of intraoperative blood loss,cases with intraoperative blood transfusion,cases with R0 and R1 resection (situation of surgical margin),cases with SMV or portal vein reconstruction were 650 mL(853 mL),15,20,12,4 in the 32 patients with type Ⅰ IPDV,aod 475 mL (480 mL),3,10,0,1 in the 10 patients with non-type Ⅰ IPDV;there were significant differences in the volume of intraoperative blood loss and situation of surgical margin (Z=94.000,x2=5.250,P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the cases with intraoperative blood transfusion,cases with SMV or portal vein reconstruction between patients with type Ⅰ and non-type Ⅰ IPDV (x2 =0.045,0.886,P＞0.05).Conclusions IPDVs can be distinguished on the contrast-enhanced CT with slice thickness,and classified as IPDVs drained into SMV or jejunal venous trunk.It is necessary to carefully deal with IPDVs drained into jejunal venous trunk in the pancreaticoduodenectomy due to its more volume of intraoperative blood loss and lower R0 resection rate.

Glioma is the most common central nervous system tumor, mainly derived from the interstitial cells of the nervous system, showing diffuse and infiltrative growth, with the characteristics of high morbidity, high postoperative recurrence, high mortality and low cure rate. Currently, radical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the first choice of treatment. Accurate delineation of GTV-T is of significance for precision radiotherapy after surgery. In addition, CT/MR fusion imaging has been commonly used in the delineation of tumor targets in glioma. In recent years, PET/MR has been more and more widely applied in tumors. In this article, the application and differences between PET/MR and CT/MR for target delineation in glioma were reviewed.

In recent years, the application of alpha particle-based nuclide targeted therapy in tumors has shown great potential. 225Ac is a nuclide that can be used for alpha radionuclide targeted therapy which has been studied at home and abroad. A number of preclinical and clinical trials have been carried out, and some achievements have been obtained. This article summarizes the current research status of several malignant tumors, and analyzes the challenges and progress faced by 225Ac in radionuclide targeted therapy.

Objective: To discuss the impact of updated definition and classification system of pancreatic fistula published in 2016 on the postoperative classification of pancreatic fistula. Methods: Retrospective analysis was made on patients who underwent pancreatic surgery at ward 1 in Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2015 to December 2016.A total of 408 patients were included in this retrospective study, male/female was 184/224, aged from 9 to 81 years with mean age of 51.6 years.One hundred and fifty-two cases were performed pancreaticoduodenectomy, 125 cases for distal pancreatectomy, 43 cases for spleen preservation distal pancreatectomy, 61 cases for partital pancreatectomy or enucleation, 8 cases for middle pancreatectomy, 6 cases for pancreaticojejunostomy and 13 cases for other procedures.Clinical data including postoperative drainage fluid volume, amylase concentration, duration of hospitalization and drainage were obtained, revaluated and re-analyzed, classified grounded on 2005 edition and 2016 edition, respectively.t-test was adopted for data analysis. Results: According to the previous standards, the incident rate of pancreatic fistula was 57.4%, and the incident rate of B-level plus C-level pancreatic fistula was 35.8%, which decreased to 13.7% based on 2016 edition.Nine patients who received percutaneous puncture or endoscopic drainage was regraded from C-level to B-level. The average duration of postoperative hospitalization of patients without pancreatic fistula was (12.5±6.0)days, demonstrating no significant difference compared to (14.1±7.7)days, duration of postoperative hospitalization of A-level(under 2005 edition of criteria) pancreatic fistula group(t=1.66, P=0.09) and (12.4±6.1)days, duration of postoperative hospitalization of biochemical leakage group(t=0.14, P=0.89). Nevertheless, there was statistical significant difference between the average postoperative duration of hospitalization(30.7±16.9) days of B-level(under 2016 criteria) pancreatic fistula patients and pancreatic fistula-free patients as well as the biochemical leakage group patients (t=7.10, 7.13; both P<0.01). Conclusions Based on the new diagnostic criteria, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula decreased dramatically.New classification system downgraded part of cases graded C-level pancreatic fistula to B-level and some B-level to biochemical fistula.The new diagnostic classification and criteria facilitated clinical practice, accomplished better conformity to clinical reality and potentially enacted clinical outcome.
