Objective To investigate the effects of simple topical anesthesia and intravenous general anesthesia on the occurrence of pancreatitis after ERCP.Methods 400 Patients who underwent ERCP due to pancreaticobiliary duct disease in our hospital from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected and divided into two groups:Simple topical anesthesia group and intravenous general anesthesia group,200 cases in each group.The levels of venous pancreatic amylase and abdominal symptoms and signs were recorded in the two groups before operation and 3 h and 24 h after operation.The observation results were hyperamylaseemia and postoperative pancreatitis at 3 h and 24 h after operation.Results The incidence of postoperative pancreatitis after ERCP was higher in the superficial anesthesia group than in the intravenous general anesthesia group(7.5%and 2.0%,respectively;P<0.05),there was statistical significance;The level of serum pancreatic amylase(198±216)U/L in intravenous general anesthesia group was significantly lower than that in superficial anesthesia group(379±327)U/L at 3h after surgery(P<0.05).The level of serum pancreatic amylase(129±98)U/L in intravenous general anesthesia group was lower than that in superficial anesthesia group(187±156)at 24h after surgery(P<0.05).The incidence of hyperamylasemia was 15.5%(31/200 cases)in the 3h postoperative intravenous general anesthesia group,lower than that in the simple surface anesthesia group(34.5%)(69/200 cases),and 5.5%(11/200 cases)in the 24h postoperative intravenous general anesthesia group,lower than that in the simple surface anesthesia group(19.0%)(38/200 cases)(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with simple surface anesthesia,intravenous general anesthesia can reduce the level of serum amylase after ERCP,and can reduce the occurrence of pancreatitis after ERCP.

【Objective】 To identify the risk factors for recurrence and malignant transformation (MT) in patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) after surgery. 【Methods】 The data of 163 patients who underwent LGG resection and subsequent follow-up from March 2009 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected. Patients who did not experience recurrence or MT after surgery were included in the control group (85 cases), those who experienced recurrence after surgery were included in the observation 1 group (44 cases), and those who experienced MT after surgery were included in the observation 2 group (34 cases). Based on the clinical data of the three groups of patients, their clinical characteristics were analyzed, and the risk factors and predictive value for recurrence and MT were explored using Logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 【Results】 There were significant differences between the control group and the observation 1 group in preoperative seizure, preoperative Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score, and surgical approach (P<0.05). There were significant differences between the control group and the observation 2 group in gender, preoperative KPS score, tumor size, and surgical approach (P<0.05). There were significant differences between the control group and the observation 1 group in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), cancer-testis antigen OY-TES-1, OY-TES-1 mRNA protein, tumor suppressor protein p53, mouse double minute 2 (MDM2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (P<0.05). There were significant differences between the control group and the observation 2 group in PCNA, MMP-9, cancer-testis antigen OY-TES-1, OY-TES-1 mRNA protein, or VEGF (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that IDH mutation, MMP-9, and PCNA were independent risk factors for LGG recurrence (P<0.05), while VEGF, MMP-9, and PCNA were independent risk factors for LGG MT (P<0.05). The area under curve (AUC) of PCNA, MMP-9 and IDH mutation for predicting LGG MT after surgery was 0.744, 0.790, and 0.799, respectively. The AUC of PCNA, MMP-9, and VEGF for predicting LGG recurrence after surgery was 0.729, 0.750, and 0.900, respectively. 【Conclusion】 This study found that IDH mutation, MMP-9 and PCNA were independent risk factors for LGG recurrence, while VEGF, MMP-9 and PCNA were independent risk factors for LGG MT by retrospectively analyzing the clinical data and protein expression of 163 patients with LGG after surgery. These proteins have high accuracy in predicting LGG recurrence and MT after surgery. Therefore, the proteins may play an important role in the biological behavior and treatment effect of LGG, and can be used as reference indicators for prognosis evaluation and individualized treatment of LGG patients after surgery.
