Objective To probe the surgical approach and effect on upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancrea. Methods Thirty patients with upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancreas or tissue around pancrea were treated by radical resection on primary tumor combined pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results Three patients died in 1 month after operation due to multiple organ failure. The patients with gallbladder cancer and metastatic lymph nodes fixed behind caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 35 months. The patients with gastric antrum carcinoma infiltrating caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 31 months. The patients with recurrent gastric cancer infiltrating caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 13 months. The patients with pancreatic and duodenal invasion by cancer of hepatic flexure of colon were followed up averaged 41 months. The patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes fixed behind caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 11 months. Conclusion The patients with upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancreas should be operated by radical resection on primary tumor combined pancreaticoduodenectomy, which can increase the rate of tumor resection, and be expected to prolong the survival period.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of combined intravenous rt-PA and free-radical scavengen (edaravone) on Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Eighty-nine subjects with ultra-acute ischemic stroke were assigned to the group treated with intravenous rt-PA and another group treated with a combination of intravenous rt-PA and edaravone. The NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI) in 30 days and 90 days after thrombolysis were compared between two groups. Results There were statistically significant differences between the group of rt-PA thrombolysis and the group of combined with rt-PA and edaravon in the ratio of NIHSS 0-1 of 30 days after therapy (25.0% vs35.6%, χ2=8.259,P=0.041) and 90 days (27.3%vs 40.0%, χ2=9.158,P=0.027),as well as in the proportion of BI 95-100 of the same time points(30 days:20.5%vs33.3%,χ2=8.833,P=0.032;90 days:25.O%vs37.8%,χ2=8.221,P=0.042).The rates of hemorrhagic conversion and mortality in two groups were similar. Conclusion rt-PA combined with free radical scavenger edaravone safely and effectively decreases the loss of neurofunctions and reserves more self-dependence capability in patients with acute ischemic stroke 30 days and 90 days after treatments.

Objective. To understand drug susceptibilities to common antibacterials, resistance mechanism to β-lactams and quinolones and the clonal spread of resistant stains of Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) and Haernophilus parainfluenzae (H. parainfluenzae) isolated from some hospitals in Shanghai. Methods The in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities to 13 antibacterials, such as ampicillin, of 156 Haemophilus strains collected from 5 hospitals of Shanghai in 2006 were tested by agar dilution method. The β-lactamase production was determined by chromogenic cephalosporin test. TEM and ROB type of β-lactamase genes and quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDR) of ciprofloxacin-resistant strains were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The homology of H. influenzae strains were analyzed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR. Results The susceptible rate of 109 strains H. influenzae to ampicillin was 74.3%, while those to ampicillin-sulbactam, cephatosporins and fluoroquinolones were all 100.0%. The β-lactamases-producing rates of 109 strains H. influenzae and 47 strains H. parainfluenzae were 25.7% and 19.1% (χ2=0.776,P=0.378), respectively. TEM gene was detected in all β-lactamases-producing strains. Of 109 H. influenzae isolates, only one was resistant to ciprofloxacin, and Ser84Leu mutation was detected in gyrA gene and Gly206Arg mutation in parC gene. The results of ERIC-PCR showed that 106 H. influenzae strains were clustered into 73 groups with similarity level of 85%. Conclusions Clinical isolates of H. influenzae from hospitals in Shanghai remain highly susceptible to common antimicrobial agents except ampicillin. TEM type of β-lactamase production is the main ampicillin-resistant mechanism of the tested stains. The clonal spread of H. influenzae, including ampicillin-resistant strains, is not prevalent.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical strains ofEnterobacteriaceae isolated from Huashan Hospital in 2014.MethodsEnterobacteriaceae were isolated from January to August 2014. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by agar dilution method. TheblaKPC gene was screened by PCR and DNA sequencing. Results were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 719 strains ofEnterobacteriaceae were collected, of whichKlebsiella spp., andE .coli accounted for 43.8% (315/719) and 30.4% (219/719), respectively. Resistance rates ofKlebsiella spp.,E. coli, andCitrobacter spp., to polymyxin B and polymyxin E were low (<3%). The percentage of theEnterobacter strains resistant to polymyxin B and polymyxin E was 10.9% and 11.1%, respectively. About 47.5% and 44.7% of theSerratia strains were resistant to polymyxin B and polymyxin E, respectively. More than 90% of theMorganella andProteus isolates were resistant to polymyxin B or polymyxin E. The carbapenem-resistantEnterobacteriaceae strains were mainly identiifed inKlebsiella isolates, more than 40% of which were resistant to meropenem and ertapenem, but only 2.9% and 2.6% were resistant to polymyxin B and polymyxin E, respectively. Ertapenem resistance was identified in 27.8% of theCitrobacter isolates and 17.9% of theSerratia isolates. Less than 10% of the otherEnterobacteriaceae strains were resistant to carbapenem. Overall, 20.7% (149/719) of the isolates wereblaKPC positive, mainly inK. pneumoniae (129/315, 41.0%). Seven strains ofSerratia marcescens and 2 strains ofK. Pneumoniae were resistant to both carbapenems and polymyxin.Conclusions The clinical isolates ofKlebsiella, E. coli, Enterobacter andCitrobacter in 2014 were still highly susceptible to polymyxin antibiotics.

Objective To study the efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD),percutaneous gallbladder drainage,and percutaneous transhepatic biliary stent implantation for the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice in patients who are observed to fail endoscopic drainage. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 17 patients diagnosed with obstructive jaundice between August 2015 and July 2017 who were observed to have failed endoscopic drainage. Percutaneous puncture drainage had been performed in all patients-different methods were chosen based on the type of lesion and the patient's intraoperative condition. Among these patients, 9 underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary stent implantation (53%),5 underwent PTCD (29%),and 3 underwent percutaneous gallbladder drainage (18%). The serum levels of total bilirubin (TBIL) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were assessed a day preoperatively and a week postoperatively. The postoperative decrease (or drop) in the serum TBIL and ALT levels was used as a parameter to assess the efficacy of treatment. Patients were divided into a stent and a tube group. The therapeutic effects were compared between the groups in terms of the drop in the serum TBIL and ALT levels and the survival time of patients. Results The postoperative serum TBIL and ALT levels were significantly decreased in all patients (P < 0. 05). No statistically significant difference was observed between the stent and the tube group in terms of the decrease in serum TBIL and ALT levels (P > 0. 05). However,a statistically significant difference was observed between the stent and the tube group in terms of the survival time of patients (P < 0. 05). Conclusion Percutaneous puncture is an effective treatment modality to manage malignant obstructive jaundice in patients who fail endoscopic drainage. Compared to tube drainage,stent placement can prolong patient survival time. Regarding the decrease in serum TBIL and ALT levels,we conclude that stent implantation is not significantly better than tube drainage.
