Objective:To valuate the relationships between operation modus,pathological characteristics and the prognosis on hilar cholangiocinoma(HCC). Methods:The clinical features,diagnostic methods,operation modus and histopathology results of the 223 cases with HCC were analyzed retrospectively. Results:1) Radical excision had been performed in 85 cases with the excision rate of 38.1%,1,3,5 years survival rates were 58.8%,30.9%,8.8% respectively. Palliative therapy had been performed in 110 cases; the median life span was 8 months. The average life span of those who had given up treatment was about 5 months. 2) In 132 cases of HCC,121 cases were adenocarcinoma,accounting for 91.7%. Well-differentiated was 29 cases (24.0%),medium-differentiated was 43 cases (35.5%),and poor-differentiated was 49 cases(40.5%). The others accounted for 8.3%,in total. The 1,3,5 years survival rate after radical excision of the well-differentiated and the medium-differentiated groups were 55.0%,40.0% and 15.0% respectively,those of the poor-differentiated group were 45.8%,16.7% and 0% respectively. 3) According to the Bismuth Corlette grouping type I was 20.1%,type II was 23.2%,type IIIa was 10.3%,type IIIb was 23.2%,type IV was 7.2%,and the others were 16.0%. Conclusions:1)Radical excision is the key to raise the long-term survival rate. The average life span of those who had given up treatment was about 5 months,which can reflect the natural life span. 2) Poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma accounted for considerable proportion in histopathology types of the hilar cholangiocarcinoma. 3)Bismuth Corlette grouping has some certain limit and disadvantages in the application.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on acupoint local extracellular ionized atom concentrations under physiological status and provide a basis for exploring the mechanism of action of electroacupuncture. Method Twenty male SD rats were selected. Rat point Zusanli (ST36) was given electroacupuncture (1 mA, 0.2 ms and 2 Hz) for 60 min. Meanwhile, local tissue fluid was collected at point Zusanli and non-acupoints using a microdialyzer. The collection by molecular probe membrane sampling lasted 4 hrs: 60 min physiological status before electroacupuncture, 60 min electroacupuncture, 60 min after electroacupuncture and 120 min after electroacupuncture. Real-time analysis of the sample was made by electrolyte analysis to observe local changes in concentrations of Ca﹢﹢, K﹢, Na﹢and Cl- at point Zusanli. Result Local Ca﹢﹢concentrations at point Zusanli increased significantly during electroacupuncture (P=0.003, vs before electroacupuncture), rose gradually afterwards and reached the peak at 60 min after electroacupuncture (P=0.75, vs during electroacupuncture). Ca﹢﹢concentrations decreased at 120 min after electroacupuncture; there was a statistically significant difference comparedwith during electroacupuncture (P=0.04). Acupoint local extracellular concentrations of Na ﹢ and Cl- also increased significantly during electroacupuncture (P<0.001, P=0.007, vs before electroacupuncture) but decreased gradually during 60 min after electroacupuncture and to (71.81±15.09) mmol/L and (57.42±14.30) mmol/L, respectively, at 60 min after electroacupuncture (P=0.09, P=0.07 vs during electroacupuncture). Acupoint extracellular K ﹢concentrations had a tendency similar to those of Na﹢and Cl- but there was no statistically significant difference. Non-point electroacupuncture slightly increased extracellular concentrations of Ca﹢﹢, K﹢, Na﹢and Cl- but there were no statistically significant differences compared with before electroacupuncture (P>0.05). Conclusion Rat point Zusanli electroacupuncture can induce significant increases in acupoint local extracellular concentrations of Ca﹢﹢, K﹢, Na﹢and Cl- . Ionized atom concentrations decrease in different degrees after electroacupuncture. These provide an experimental basis for studying the physiological mechanism of electroacupuncture treatment.
