1.Diagnosis and clinical staging of pancreatic cancer
China Oncology 2009;19(8):565-569
The incidence and prevalence of pancreatic cancer have been steadily increasing globally and domestically. The common risk factors of pancreatic cancer include diabetes mellitus, chronic panereatitis, cigarette smoking, family history of pancreatic cancer, and alcoholism. There is no specific symptom and early diagnostic marker of pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 is the most commonly used serum marker for the detection and follow-up of pancreatic cancer. However, its sensitivity and specificity precluded its use in screening of the disease. Enhanced spiral CT scan is the routine radiological modality for the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer. Newly developed diagnostic modality such as ultrasound contrast imaging, endoscopic ultrasound, PET/CT scan further improved the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis. Preoperative fine needle aspiration (FNA) is not recommended for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. Pathological confirmation by FNA is necessary for patients who will be treated by chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Preoperative staging laparoscopy can rule out the patients with abdominal seeding, so that unnecessary open surgery is avoided. In order to achieve better survival, every effort should be made to achieve R_0 resection for patients with stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ disease.
2.Effects on QT dispersion in patients who received maintenance hemodialysts by dialysate with different concentration of potassium
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(19):2609-2610
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects on QT dispersion in patients who received maintenance hemodialysis by dialysate with different concentration of potassium. MethodsTook 57 patients who received maintenance hemodialysis as dialysis group, took another 30 healthy subjects as control group, patients in dialysis group alternatively received hemodialysis by dialysate with potassium concentration of 2.0mmol/L and 3.0mmol/L once. QT interval of both groups were recorded by 12-lead synchronized ECG and then QT dispersion and QTcd were calculated. ResultsQTd and QTcd of dialysis group were(52.7 ±8.2) and(63.2 ±9.0)ms respectively and which were significantly higher than control group, the difference between groups was statistically significant( t =2. 638,2. 750, both P < 0.05 ) ; QTd, QTcd and the incidence of arrhythmia of 2.0mmol/L K + group were ( 63.5 ± 7.6), ( 72.3 ± 8.0)ms and 22.8% ( 13/57)respectively and which were all significantly higher than 3.0mmol/L K + group,the differences between groups were statistically significant ( t =2. 245,2.351, x2 =5. 599, all P < 0.05 ). ConclusionQT dispersion reflectsed the heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization and electrical instability,and the use of dialysate with potassium concentration of 3.0mmol/L could shorten QT interval and reduce the incidence of arthythmia.
3.Surgical management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2012;11(4):320-322
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) accounts for about 2% of all malignant pancreatic tumors.According to presence or absence of specific hormone related symptoms,pNET is classified as functional and non-functional.About 75% of pNET is non-functional.Surgery is the only potential treatment that cures pNET.Before operation,localization of primary tumor is very important.For localized lesions,pancreaticoduodenectomy,segmental pancreatectomy,distal pancreatectomy or enucleation could be chosen according to the site of primary tumor.For metastatic pNET,if the primary lesion and metastatic lesions could be resected simultaneously,aggressive approach is an optimal choice and better clinical outcome could be achieved.For those with big multiple metastatic lesions,especially in the liver,debulking operation should be considered when more than 90% metastatic lesions could be resected,for debulking operation could improve the survival and quality of life of those patients.Liver transplantation should be reserved to patients with no extra-hepatic metastasis and tumor is stable with low grade,while R0 resection could be achieved for primary lesion.

Objective To investigate the effect of budesonide suspension combined with terbutaline on the ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and rehabilitation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Methods Fifty-five patients underwent thoracic surgery from June 2006 to January 2017 in our hospital. The patients were treated with budesonide suspension combined with terbutaline atomization solution for inhalation. Forty patients with thoracic surgery were selected as the control group. Comparison of the two groups after the blood gas indicators, the incidence of VAP, mechanical ventilation and hospital stay. Results There was no significant difference in white blood cells, neutrophils and CRP between the two groups.The oxygen saturation of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, the arterial oxygen partial pressure was higher than the control group, PaCO2 was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAP of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. The time of mechanical ventilation was shorter than that of the control group. The hospitalization time was shorter than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of budesonide suspension and terbutaline atomization can improve the postoperative effect of thoracic surgery and reduce the incidence of postoperative VAP and promote the early rehabilitation of patients.
5.Consensus on diagnosis and treatment of very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
Journal of Zhejiang University. Medical sciences 2022;50(7):1-7
Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is a metabolic disease of long chain fatty acid oxidation. The clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, mainly with heart, liver, skeletal muscle and brain damage, and the onset of which can be from newborn to adult. Cardiomyopathy type is more serious with high mortality. The liver failure type and myopathy type would be potentially lethal, but generally the prognosis is relatively good. Recurrent hypoglycemia, energy metabolism disorder, liver dysfunction, cardiomyopathy and serious arrhythmia are the main causes of death. Most patients can be identified through neonatal screening, and the prognosis is usually good in patients with early diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this consensus is to standardize the diagnosis, treatment and management of VLCAD deficiency, so as to improve the prognosis of patients and reduce death and disability.
6.Diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasm in the multidisciplinary team model
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2016;15(6):540-542
Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NENs) is a kind of rare tumor which occurs in multiple human organs.The prognosis of NENs is relatively good,but the diagnosis and treatment of NENs is complicated and involve different specialties.In major medical centers,comprehensive and standard diagnosis and treatment could improve the prognosis of NENs and reduce the waiting and treatment time via multidisciplinary team (MDT) model.The regional variation and differences in the techniques among hospitals are decreasing through communication and learning among the members of MDT.Recently,the excellent MDT is working in a spirit of cooperation and sharing to create the patients-centered model,with professional doctors and complete hardware facilities.The NENs clinical center needs to strengthen diagnosis,treatment,research and training.

9.To do or not to do: surgical treatment for the non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2021;20(4):381-384
The incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors is increasing in recent years. Scientific treatment strategy will improve the prognosis of patients. Surgical resection is the main treatment for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, especially for localized tumors. At present, there are still controversies about the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors at home and abroad. Based on the literature and clinical practice, the author combs the related controversies and suggests that the age, physical condition, tumor location, staging, grading and functional status of the patients should be taken into consideration when making the surgical plan. The individualized treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor should be realized according to the specific situation of the patients and the evidence-based medicine.
