Objective:To compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) versus open hepatectomy (OH) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC).Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine Disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database and VIP Database were searched from inception of these databases to May 2022 to compare LH versus OH for ICC. The duration of operation, intraoperative bleeding, proportion of patients with intraoperative blood transfusion, number of resected lymph nodes, proportion of patients with R 0 resection margin, duration of hepatic occlusion, hospital stay, incidence of postoperative complication and postoperative mortality were compared between the two groups. Meta-analysis was carried out using the Review Manager 5.1 software, and the mean difference ( MD) or odds ratio ( OR) was used as the effect index. Results:This meta-analysis included twelve articles, all of which were retrospective cohort studies, with 3 189 patients. There were 667 patients in the LH group and 2 512 in the OH group. Meta-analysis showed that when compared to the OH group, the LH group had significantly less intraoperative bleeding ( MD=-116.06, 95% CI: -173.07--59.06, P<0.001), less proportion of patients receiving intraoperative blood transfusion ( OR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.10-0.62, P=0.003), less number of lymph nodes removed ( MD=-101.91, 95% CI: -124.78--79.03, P<0.001), less patients underwent portal occlusion ( OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.14 - 0.99, P=0.050), shorter hospital stay ( MD=-2.43, 95% CI: -4.59--0.28, P=0.030) and less postoperative complications ( OR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.28-0.61, P<0.001). However, the proportion of patients with R 0 margin ( OR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.14-1.95, P=0.003) in the LH group was significantly higher than the OH group. There were no significant differences in operative time and postoperative mortality between the 2 groups. Conclusion:LH was more effective and safe than OH in the treatment of ICC. However, its long-term effect still needs to be verified by large randomized controlled trials.

Objective To investigate the opportunity and skill of surgery for pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension.Methods Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed on 15 cases of pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension admired from Dec 2015 to Dec 2017.Results All fiften cases underwent surgical treatment,among them three cases were initially treated conservatively in the early stage and treated surgically for gastrointestinal bleeding,12 cases with definite pancreatic disease and pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension treated in the first stage.Three patients underwent second surgery for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding.The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months with symptoms significantly impioved without deaths.Conclusions Splenectomy combined with esophagogastric devascularization is the basic surgical treatment for pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension.

Objective:To understand the characteristics of sexualized drug use (SDU) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chengdu and classify their behavioral patterns by applying the two-step cluster (TSC) algorithm and by exploring the association between SDU patterns and high risk sexual behaviors, in order to provide a reference basis for the development of HIV prevention interventions.Methods:Supported by an MSM-friendly organization in Chengdu from December 2021 to February 2022, MSM were recruited by on-site survey and peer referral to collect information on sociodemographics, SDU characteristics, sexual behaviors, STD diagnosis, and HIV status. TSC was performed to classify the characteristics of SDU, and the differences between groups were compared. Chi-square test and multiple binary logistic regressions were used to identify the relationship between SDU clusters and HIV-related risk sexual behaviors.Results:A total of 727 MSM were surveyed, and 39.8% (289/727) of the respondents reported SDU experience with a same-sex partner in the last six months. TSC clustered SDU-MSM into three behavioral pattern groups. There were significant differences in monthly income, types of drugs used for SDU, mode, frequency, polydrug use, multiple sexual partners, non-adherence to condom use, and group sex among the three groups of SDU-MSM ( P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the third category of SDU-MSM was 2.22 (95% CI: 1.06-4.66) times more likely than the first category not to use condoms consistently; the third and second categories were 2.82 (95% CI: 1.18-6.77) times and 8.78 (95% CI: 3.42-22.42) times. Conclusions:The prevalence of SDU among MSM in Chengdu was more than 1/3, and different SDU clustering pattern was associated with high-risk sexual behaviors. MSM with higher SDU frequency, drug use, and polydrug abuse are more difficult to adhere to condom use and more likely to have group sex and high risk sexual behaviors, increasing the risk of STD and HIV infection, and need to strengthen SDU surveillance and intervention.
