Objective To investigate the imaging findings of primary bone malignant fibrous histiocytoma (PBMFH) in long bone. Methods MRI and XV ray examinations were performed in 10 patients with PBMFH in long bone confirmed by histology. CT scans were performed in 6 cases. Results Nine cases had single and 1 case had multiple lesions of single bone. Seven cases showed osteolytic bone destruction, and 3 cases showed mixed bone destruction. Only 1 case showed periosteal reaction. Gross bony ridge was seen in 3 cases on CT scan. All the patients demonstrated isointensity or hypointensity on T1WI, and slight hyperintensity signal on T2WI. Necrosis was seen in the lesion of 10 cases. Four cases showed obvious but heterogeneous enhancement after contrast medium injection. Eight cases had soft tissue mass beyond the scope of bone destruction. Conclusions Some imaging features may suggest the diagnosis of PBMFH in long bone.

Objective:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic pancreatic tumor enucleation (LapEN).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 47 patients who underwent LapEN in Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from September 2016 to June 2022 were collected. There were 18 males and 29 females, aged (49±12)years. Observa-tion indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative complications; (3) postoperative recovery; (4) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations. All 47 patients underwent LapEN successfully, with the operation time as (135±19)minutes and the volume of intraoperative blood loss as 100(50,100)mL. (2) Postoperative complications. Of the 47 patients, there were 12 patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula, 3 patients with postoperative abdominal infection, 1 case with postoperative hemorrhage, 1 case with postoperative gastric emptying disorder. (3) Postoperative recovery. Of the 47 patients, there were 13 cases with pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, 12 cases with insulinoma, 11 cases with pancreatic serous cystadenoma, 7 cases with pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (branched type), 4 cases with pancreatic mucinous cyst-adenoma. The tumor diameter of 47 patients was 1.9(1.6,2.3)cm and all patients with R 0 resection. There was no patient with perioperative death in the 47 patients. The postoperative duration of hospital stay and total hospital expenses of 47 patients was (13±4)days and (6.8±1.2) ten thousand yuan, respectively. (4) Follow-up. All 47 patients were followed up for 14(range, 8?18)months. None of the 47 patients had new onset diabetes or situations required postoperative exocrine replacement therapy, and no patient died. Conclusion:LapEN is safe and feasible for patients with pancreatic benign tumor or low potential malignancy.

Objective:To explore the value of fast susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) generated by a deep learning model in assessment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:From January 2019 to January 2021, 118 AIS patients [75 males and 43 females, aged 23-100 (66±14) years] who underwent MR examination and SWI sequence scanning within 24 h of symptom onset in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. MATLAB ′s randperm function was used to divide 118 patients into a training set of 96 cases and a test set of 22 cases at a ratio of 8∶2. Fourty-seven AIS patients [38 males and 9 females, aged 16-75 (58±12) years] from one center of a multicenter study were selected to build the external validation set. SWI image and filtered phase image were combined into complex value image as full sampling reference image. Undersampled SWI images were obtained by retrospective undersampling of reference fully sampled images, and the undersampling multiple was five times which could save 80% of the scanning time, then the complex-valued convolutional neural network (ComplexNet) was used to develop reconstruct fast SWI. Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) or Kappa tests were used to compare the consistency of image quality and the diagnostic consistency for the presence of susceptibility vessel sign (SVS), cerebral microbleeds and asymmetry of cerebral deep medullary veins (DMVs) in AIS patient on fully sampled SWI and fast SWI based on ComplexNet.Results:In test set, score of image quality was 4.5±0.6 for fully sampled SWI image and 4.6±0.7 for fast SWI based on ComplexNet, and coefficient was excellent (ICC=0.86, P<0.05). Full sampling SWI had good agreement with fast SWI based on ComplexNet in detecting SVS (Kappa=0.79, P<0.05), microbleeds (Kappa=0.86, P<0.05), and DMVs asymmetry (Kappa=0.82, P<0.05) in AIS patients. In the external validation set, score of image quality was 4.1±1.0 for fully sampled SWI image and 4.0±0.9 for fast SWI based on ComplexNet, and coefficient was excellent (ICC=0.97, P<0.05). Full sampling SWI had good agreement with fast SWI based on ComplexNet in detecting SVS (Kappa=0.74, P<0.05), microbleeds (Kappa=0.83, P<0.05), and DMVs asymmetry (Kappa=0.74, P<0.05) in AIS patients. Conclusions:Deep learning techniques can significantly accelerate the speed of SWI, and the consistency of image quality and detected AIS signs between fast SWI based on ComplexNet and fully sampled SWI is good. The fast SWI based on ComplexNet can be applied to the radiographic assessment of clinical AIS patients

Objective:To study the optional timing of removal of abdominal drains after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept versus conventional practice.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent LPD at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 127 patients included in this study, there were 74 males and 53 females, with age of (58.68±8.65) years old. Then patients were divided into two groups according to the timing of removal of abdominal drains based on the ERAS concept (the ERAS group, n=61), and conventional clinical practice (the control group, n=66). The abdominal drains in the ERAS group was removed based on 2 criteria: (1) no discharge of bile, gastrointestinal contents, pus, and active bleeding in the abdominal drains on the first day after operation; (2) amylase in abdominal drainage fluid was less than 5 000 U/L on the first day after operation. The abdominal drains in the control group was removed after meeting the following criteria: (1) no discharge of bile, gastrointestinal contents, pus, and active bleeding in the abdominal drains; (2) from the first day after operation, amylase levels in the drain fluid was measured once everyday, and the concentrations of the amylase were less than 5 000 U/L for 2 consecutive days; (3) the volume of drainage was less than 100 ml/24 h. The postoperative recovery and other clinical data of the two groups were also compared. Results:LPD was successfully performed in the 2 groups, and there was no perioperative death. The timing of removal of abdominal drains [1 vs. 7(5, 9) d], the first passage of flatus [3(2, 4) vs. 3(3, 5) d] and the postoperative hospital stay [14(10, 18) vs. 17(14, 22) d] in the ERAS group were significantly shorter than the control group, and the hospitalization cost was also significantly less [10.33(9.64, 11.52) vs. 11.22(10.38, 13.58) wan yuan] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The ERAS concept in guiding the timing of removal of abdominal drains after LPD was safe and feasible. The enhanced recovery after surgery concept is worthy of further promotion and application.

There are many methods of pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. It is suggested that the formation of "sinus healing" by pancreaticojejunostomy benefits pancreatic juice extravasation and intestinal fluid reflux. The healing of fibrous layer is based on mechanical connection, and there are various forms of connection. Our team summarized the experience since laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, using the improved "double needle pancreaticoenterostomy" and combined with "variable diameter measurable drainage catheter" to support the pancreatic duct to form "sinus healing" at the pancreaticointestinal anastomosis.The main techniques and experiences are summarized as follows.

Objective:To study the retrocolonic approach for laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenec-tomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 53 patients who underwent LPD using the retrocolonic approach at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 36 males and 17 females, aged (61.9±8.8) years old. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications were analysed.Results:LPD was successfully performed in 53 patients via the retrocolonic approach. The operation time was (285.7±49.8) min, and the resection time for specimens was (120.0±10.5) min. The median intraoperative blood loss was 200 ml and blood loss ranged from 50 to 800 ml. Among the 53 patients, 3 patients underwent combined portal vein resection and reconstruction (end-to-end anastomosis). The operation time was 300, 325 and 385 min, respectively, and the intraoperative blood loss was 400-800 ml. During the operation, 5 patients (9.43%) had transection of the middle colonic artery and underwent resection of part of the transverse mesocolon due to invasion of the transverse mesocolon by tumours. Postoperative complications occurred in 5 patients (9.43%), including 4 patients with pancreatic fistula and 1 patient with hemorrhage and with delayed gastric emptying. The postoperative passage of first flatus was (5.40±1.14) days in 5 patients with transection and (2.92±1.03) days in 48 patients without transection of the middle colonic artery. All patients were discharged home successfully. The postoperative pathological results showed all patients to achieve R 0 resection. Conclusion:Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy via the retrocolonic approach was safe and feasible for patients with a large duodenal tumor, pancreatic head uncinate process tumor with or without invasion of the portal vein and mesenteric vessels.

Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of laparosocpic left-liver-first anterior radical modular orthotopic right hemihepatectomy (Lap-Larmorh) in treatment of Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:From June 2020 to April 2022, 13 patients with Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent Lap-Larmorh at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. There were 8 males and 5 females, aged (60.9±8.4) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications and postoperative survival were analyzed.Results:Five patients were treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage to reduce jaundice before surgery. All 13 patients successfully underwent the Lap-Larmorh and there was no conversion to laparotomy. The operative time was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 390.0 (355.0, 435.0) minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 800.0 (300.0, 1 100.0) ml. Postoperative complications occurred in 4 patients with pleural effusion, and 1 patient had portal vein thrombosis associated with pleural effusion, who was managed successfully using low molecular weight heparin sodium anticoagulation therapy and pleural effusion tapping. The postoperative hospital stay was (12.5±5.5) days, and there was no perioperative death. Intraoperative frozen pathology showed 12 patients with left hepatic duct with negative margins, and 1 patient with moderate dysplasia. Postoperative paraffin pathology showed 12 patients with bile duct adenocarcinoma, 1 patient with bile duct mucinous adenocarcinoma, 2 patients with tumors of high differentiation, 10 patients with moderate differentiation, and 1 patient with poor differentiative. The R 0 resection rate was 100.0% (13/13) and the tumor diameter was (2.9±0.9) cm. Follow-up by telephone or outpatient clinics after operation showed 1 patients to be lost to follow-up. The 1-year survival rate after operation was 66.7% (8/12). Conclusion:For Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the new laparoscopic approach of Lap-Larmorh was safe and feasible.

Objective:To study the safety and therapeutic effects of the modified pancreaticogastrostomy based on the concept of " Hong's one-stitch method" in digestive tract reconstruction in pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 44 patients who underwent modified pancreaticogastresstomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2022 to October 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 males and 21 females , with a median age of 54 years old (range 18 to 70 years old). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative condition and complications were analysed.Results:All the 44 patients completed the operation successfully. There were 29 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, 11 patients laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, 1 patient laparoscopic central pancreatectomy, and 3 patients open pancreaticoduodenectomy. The time required for the pancreaticogastrostomy was (15.4±1.0) min in laparoscopic surgery, and (9.1±0.5) min in open surgery. There were 2 patients who developed grade A pancreatic fistula (4.55%, 2/44) and 7 patients gastric emptying disorder (15.91%, 7/44). There were no grade B or C pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, abdominal infection, postoperative bleeding and perioperative death.Conclusion:The modified pancreaticogastrostomy for digestive tract reconstruction in pancreatic surgery was safe and reliable. It effectively reduced the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula and improved prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD) total burden and the imaging markers and the degree of unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. Clinical and imaging data of patients with chronic unilateral MCA stenosis who underwent multimodal MRI from October 2015 to January 2019 in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 261 patients were included, 187 males and 74 females. According to the degree of MCA stenosis, the patients were divided into 102 cases in severe stenosis-occlusion group (stenosis degree ≥70%) and 159 cases in mild-moderate stenosis group (stenosis degree <70%). CSVD imaging marker scores (including white matter hyperintensity, perivascular space, cerebral microbleed, and lacune of presumed vascular origin) were assessed according to the ?standards for reporting vascular changes on neuroimaging 1 in the 2 groups, and the CSVD total burden score was calculated. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the indicators between the two groups, and the CSVD total burden score and imaging marker scores were ultimately included in a multifactorial binary logistic regression to assess the association of CSVD imaging markers with severe stenosis-occlusion of the MCA after adjusting for vascular risk factors (age, gender, drinking, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease). Results:There were significant differences in the CSVD total burden, centrum semiovale perivascular space and lacune of presumed vascular origin score between the mild-to-moderate stenosis group and the severe stenosis-occlusion group (all P<0.05), and none of the differences in the remaining imaging marker scores were statistically significant (all P>0.05). Multivariate binary logistics regression analysis showed CSVD total burden score ( OR=1.300, 95% CI 1.047-1.613, P=0.017), centrum semiovale perivascular space score ( OR=2.099, 95% CI 1.540-2.860, P<0.001) and lacune of presumed vascular origin score ( OR=2.609, 95% CI 1.294-5.261, P=0.007) were independent associated with severe stenosis-occlusion of MCA. Conclusion:The higher CSVD total burden score, centrum semiovale perivascular space score and lacune of presumed vascular origin score are associated with severe stenosis-occlusion of MCA.
