Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2005;3(2):61-62
Sixty cases of simple obesity of stomach-intestine excessive heat type were randomly divided into acupuncture-Tuina groupand single acupuncture group, 30 cases in each group, and were given acupuncture-Tuina and single acupuncture respectively. The clinical effects of two groups were analyzed and compared by obesity and fat indexes before and after treatment. The total effective rates in acupuncture-Tuina and simple acupuncture group were 90.0% and 73.3% respectively. The effect of acupuncture-Tuina in treating simple obesity with stomach-intestine excessive heat type was satisfactory, and better than that of acupuncture(P<0.05).

Objective:Ventricular septal defect(VSD)is a prevalent congenital cardiac anomaly.By enhancing the occluder design and optimizing procedural approaches,the indications for VSD closure can be broadened while minimizing associated complications.The utilization of fully biodegradable occluder holds promising potential in resolving conduction block issues encountered during VSD closure.This study aims to compare the results of the fully biodegradable occluder with the metal occluder in transoesophageal echocardiography-guided VSD closure via lower sternal level minor incision at the interim follow-up,and to find risk factors for the occurrence of electrocardiographic and valvular abnormalities postoperatively. Methods:We reviewed the postoperative and 3-year follow-up data of all patients who underwent the randomized controlled study of VSD closure from January 1 to November 7,2019 in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.The safety and efficacy of the procedure were assessed and compared between the 2 groups by electrocardiogram and echocardiography results,and the risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative electrocardiogram and valve abnormalities were studied with Logistic regression analysis. Results:Twelve and fifteen patients underwent VSD closure with the metallic occluder and the fully biodegradable occluder,respectively.All patients survived during the follow-up period without major complications such as atrioventricular block,significant residual shunt,too rapid absorption of the occluder,and significant valvular regurgitation.There were no significant differences in the results of electrocardiograph and color Doppler ultrasonography the metal occluder group and the fully biodegradable occluder group 1,2,and 3 years after operation(all P>0.05).The size of the occluder were risk factors for tricuspid regurgitation at 2 and 3 years postoperatively,and the difference between the occluder size and the VSD defect size were risk factors for tricuspid regurgitation at 2 years postoperatively(P<0.05). Conclusion:This study adequately demonstrates the safety and efficacy of fully biodegradable occluders in small VSD closure and shows the same postoperative effects as conventional nitinol occluders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of two-step separation approach in laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy (LLLS).MethodsA total of 156 patients undergoing LLLS with two-step separation approach in Hunan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2009 and September 2014 were included in this prospective study. Among the 156 patients, 76 were males and 80 were females with the age ranging from 18 to 75 years old and the median of 56 years old. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. The patients were in bladder lithotomy position or straddle position and pneumoperitoneum was established with 4-hole approach and periumbilical puncture. Hepatectomy was performed using two-step separation approach. The liver parenchyma was dissected to the plane of left lateral hepatic pedicle-left hepatic vein using ultrasonic scalpel along the left of falciform ligament. Then, the hepatic pedicle and the left hepatic vein was dissected using Endo-GIA stapler.ResultsAll patients completed the surgery successfully and no case was converted to laparotomy. Eighty-nine patients underwent simple left lateral hepatic artery occlusion and 67 patients did not undergo hepatic inlfow occlusion. The median operation time was 85 (53-150) min and the liver dissection time was 17 (8-35) min. The intraoperative blood loss was 25 (10-100) ml and the postoperative length of stay was 7 (5-10) d. No death case and no serious postoperative complication was observed. Only 7 patients developed mild bile leakage and recovered after effective drainage.ConclusionTwo-step separation approach in LLLS is safe and easy, which can be taken as a standard operation and widely popularized.

Objective:
To summarized the experience in laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR).
Methods:
The clinical data of four patients who underwent LDPPHR from February 2017 to June 2018 in Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The Clinical characteristics, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, biliary fistula rate, pancreatic fistula rate and follow-up data were analyzed.
Results:
The four patients included one patient with a solid pseudopapillary tumor and three patients with a serous cystadenoma. Two patients underwent duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection, and two patients underwent duodenum-preserving subtotal pancreatic head resection. The operation time of the four patients was (525.8±121.8) minutes, and the blood loss (250.0±191.5) ml. Biliary duct drainage was carried out in 2 patients: one patient developed biochemical bile leakage, while another had no postoperative complication. The two patients without biliary drainage developed grade B pancreatic leakage, delayed bile leakage, abdominal bleeding and infection. All the three patients who developed postoperative complications were treated conservatively and they recovered well.
Conclusions
LDPPHR was designed to better preserve the integrity and function of digestive tract. However, the perioperative complications were high. This operation should only be carried out in large pancreatic centers. Routine biliary drainage is recommended to surgeons with little experience in this operation.

Objective:
To summarize our clinical experience and management of an anomalous proximal bile duct joining the cystic duct in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on 8 patients who had an anomalous right anterior bile duct joining the cystic duct who were treated at the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2003 to January 2019.
Results:
All the 8 patients were diagnosed to have gallstones cholecystitis on preoperative CT, MRI and abdominal ultrasound. There were no suggestions of an anomalous bile duct. A total of 6 patients underwent reoperation after LC due to abdominal pain and biliary peritonitis. These 6 patients were treated with drainage and T-tube insertion. In the other 2 patients, the anomalous bile duct opening which joined the cystic duct were detected during LC. There was one patient converted to open laparotomy with preservation of the cystic duct and underwent common bile duct T-tube drainage. The other patients continued with laparoscopic surgery. The cystic duct was partially resected with removal of gallbladder, followed by common bile duct drainage. The average follow-up period was 3.4 years and the results were satisfactory.
Conclusions
Biliary duct anomaly is the main cause of iatrogenic proximal bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is not uncommon to have the anomaly of insertion of right anterior segmental bile duct to the cystic duct. To avoid iatrogenic biliary tract injury, careful preoperative study of X-ray films, accurate identification of the intraoperative gallbladder triangle anatomical structures. Strict adherence to carry out the three-word procedure of " discrimination, cut, identify" will help to reduce the incidence of biliary tract complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
