Objective To improve the prognosis and radical resection of the extended pancreaticoduodenectomy for patients with pancreatic cancer in the ucinate process involving mesentery mot. Methods From Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2007, a total of 23 ( 14 male and 9 female, aged between 30 and 72 years old) patients with pancreatic cancer in the ucinate process involving mesentery root were treated in our department. Curative resection was performed for all patients by the extended pancreaticoduodenectomy with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) isolation and mesentery root resection. The surgical procedure, the safety and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results 12 patients underwent the procedure, among them 11 also underwent combined SMV partial resection and reconstruction. The operation time was (4.2 ± 1.1 ) hours, and the blood loss was ( 1 635 ± 1 362) ml with the blood transfusion of ( 1 609 ± 1 462 ) ml. There was no operation related death in this case series, and mild to severe diarrhea occurred in 6 cases. The post-operative stay ranged 9 to 30 days. The pathological examination showed that the tumor size was (5.3 ± 1.4) cm. 13 patients (57%) had one or more lymph nodes metastasis. 20 patients (87%) had nerve involvement. Among 11 patients with SMV partial resection and reconstruction, 10 patients had endangium involvement. 22 patients had negative surgical margins for all specimens. Rapid intra-operative frozen pathological examination showed negative surgical margins in one patient, however, post-operative paraffin section pathological examination revealed nerve involvement between SMA and celiac trunk. After a follow-up of 5 to 42 months, liver metastasis occurred in 4 patients, and local recurrence occurred in 3 patients. The 1-year and 2-year accumulated survival rates were 77.2% and 42.5%, respectively. Conclusions Isolation SMA and the mesentery resection in extended pancreaticodudenectomy were safe and useful. Using this modified technique, Radical operation resection could be achieved in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in uncinate process.

Objective To study the effect of robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy.Methods 63 patients who were originally scheduled for robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy were vetrospectively analyzed from July 2013 to June 2017 in Changhai Hospital.Results The operations were successfully carried out in 61 patients.One patient was converted to open surgery because of extensive adhesions,and another patient underwent local excision of a pancreatic tumor.17 patients underwent robot-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy,and 44 patients robot-assisted distal splenopancreatectomy.The mean operative time was 164.1 minutes.The intraoperative blood loss was 153.7 ml.Only 1 patient received 400 ml.of blood transfusion.The rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula was 45.9％.The rates of biochemical fistula and level B fistula were 37.7％ and 8.2％,respectively.No level C fistula was observed.Conclusion Robot-assisted distal pancreatectomywas an efficacious and safe technique with its unique advantages in spleen-preserving operations.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic factors of hyperamylasemia following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) . Methods: Clinical data of 359 patients were collected prospectively who underwent PD by the same group at Changhai Hospital of Navy Medical University from January 2017 to June 2018.There were 212 males and 147 females.The median age was 63 years old (range: 23 to 82 years old) .According to whether the patient′s serum amylase was greater than 120 U/L at 0 or 1 day after surgery,the patients were divided into hyperamylasemia group and non-hyperamylasemia group. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to find out the prognostic factors of hyperamylasemia after PD. Results: Of the 359 patients, 238 cases (66.3%) developed hyperamylasemia.The incidence rate of clinically related pancreatic fistula (15.1% vs.2.5%, P<0.01) , grade B/C post pancreatectomy hemorrhage (8.8% vs. 2.5%, P<0.01) , and surgical site infection (9.2% vs. 3.3%, P=0.04) was significantly higher in the hyperamylasemia group.The severity of complications (CD grade≥Ⅲ: 11.3% vs.4.1%, P=0.023) and postoperative hospital stay (11 days vs. 9 days, P=0.001) were higher in the hyperamylasemia group.In the multivariate analysis, the main pancreatic duct diameter (MPD) ≤3 mm (OR=4.469, 95% CI: 2.563-7.793, P<0.01) , pathological type of disease (pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis) (OR=0.230, 95% CI: 0.122-0.436, P<0.01) and soft texture of pancreas (OR=3.297, 95%CI: 1.930-5.635, P<0.01) were independent prognostic factors for hyperamylasemia. Conclusions Post-PD hyperamylasemia increased the incidence and severity of postoperative complications after PD.MPD≤3 mm, soft texture of pancreas and pathological type of disease were independent prognostic factors of hyperamylasemia.

Background Arsenic is a toxicant that can affect the expressions of the cellular anti-apoptotic gene BCL-2 and its protein, but the effects of arsenic on BCL-2α and BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document} transcripts have not been reported. Objective To investigate the potential effects of arsenic and its metabolites, methylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsonic acid (DMA), on BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T (total of α and \begin{document}$\beta $\end{document} transcripts) in human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) and human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549). Methods 16HBE cells and A549 cells were randomly divided into three categories of exposure after in vitro culture: single-selected arsenic compound exposure groups with isoconcentration (16HBE cells were treated with 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ of MMA, DMA, and sodium arsenite, respectively, while A549 cells were treated with 60 μmol·L⁻¹ of MMA, DMA, and sodium arsenite, respectively), sodium arsenite exposure groups with different concentrations (16HBE cells were treated with 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ of sodium arsenite respectively, while A549 cells were treated with 20, 40, and 60 μmol·L⁻¹ of sodium arsenite respectively), and combined exposure groups (i.e. MMA+sodium arsenite, and DMA+sodium arsenite; the exposure concentrations of 16HBE cells were both 1.5 μmol·L⁻¹ and both 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ respectively, and those of A549 cells were both 20 μmol·L⁻¹ and both 60 μmol·L⁻¹ respectively). Meanwhile, a blank control group was also set up in each exposure category. After 48 h of continuous exposure, the relative expressions of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T in both cells were detected by real-time PCR. Results Regarding the single-selected arsenic compound exposure, in 16HBE cells, the expression levels of BCL-2α and BCL-2T under 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ MMA treatment were lower than those in their control groups (q=3.27, 2.93, both P<0.05), and the expression levels of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T under 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ sodium arsenite were lower than those in their respective control groups (q=11.06, 3.65, 10.70, all P<0.05). In A549 cells, the expression level of BCL-2T treated with 60 μmol·L⁻¹ DMA was lower than that in the control group (q=3.12, P<0.05), and the expression levels of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T treated with 60 μmol·L⁻¹ sodium arsenite were lower than those in their respective control groups (q=7.59, 7.27, 8.06, all P<0.05). Regarding the sodium arsenite exposure: 16HBE cells treated with 1.5 μmol·L⁻¹ sodium arsenite had a lower expression level of BCL-2α and a higher expression level of BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document} than those in their respective control groups (q=6.06, 11.92, both P<0.05); the expression level of BCL-2α under 3.0 μmol·L⁻¹ sodium arsenite was lower than that in the control group (q=12.72, P<0.05); and under 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ sodium arsenite treatment, the expression levels of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T were lower than those in their respective control groups (q=15.72, 6.79, 6.62, all P<0.05). The expression levels of BCL-2α gradually decreased with increasing concentrations of sodium arsenite (F_{α trend}=144.80, P<0.001), while BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document} and BCL-2T decreased in a dose-dependent manner in the range of 1.5-4.5 μmol·L⁻¹ (F\begin{document}${}_{\beta } $\end{document} _trend=135.40, F_{T trend}=38.24, both P<0.001). In A549 cells, the expression levels of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T under each concentration of sodium arsenite treatments were lower than those in their respective control groups (all P<0.05); the results of further trend tests showed that their expression levels gradually decreased with increasing concentrations of sodium arsenite (F_{α trend} =31.97, F\begin{document}${}_{\beta} $\end{document} _trend=549.50, F_{T trend}=252.40, all P<0.001). Regarding the combined exposure, under MMA+sodium arsenite treatment at both 60 μmol·L⁻¹, the expression levels of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T in A549 cells were higher than those in their respective control groups (q=6.37, 14.91, 5.33, all P<0.05); under DMA+sodium arsenite treatment at both 60 μmol·L⁻¹, their expression levels in A549 cells were also higher than those in their respective control group (q=8.60, 17.29, 6.91, all P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to a high concentration (16HBE: 4.5 μmol·L⁻¹, A549: 60 μmol·L⁻¹) of a single arsenic metabolite has no effect on BCL-2 transcripts in 16HBE cells and A549 cells. Exposure to a low concentration (1.5 μmol·L⁻¹) of sodium arsenite alone would decrease the expression level of BCL-2α and increase the expression level of BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document} in 16HBE cells, and exposure to all designed concentrations of sodium arsenite alone would decrease the expressions of all transcripts in A549 cells. The combined exposure to high concentrations (both 60 μmol·L⁻¹) of MMA plus sodium arsenite or high concentrations (both 60 μmol·L⁻¹) of DMA plus sodium arsenite would increase the expressions of BCL-2α, BCL-2\begin{document}$\beta $\end{document}, and BCL-2T in A549 cells, which are different from the effects presented by single exposure.
