ObjectiveTo discuss problems derived from operative treatment for liver echinococcosis.MethodEighty cases of vesiclectomy with different additional procedures were reviewed with respect to their efficacy or complication. ResultsThere was no mortality in all the patients undergoing various operations. Abscess developed in 6 out of 26 cases undergoing simple vesiclectomy. Two out of 52 cases undergoing "vesiclectomy coupled with tube drainage" suffered bile leakage, while there was no complication in 2 cases undergoing "vesiclectomy plus Roux en Y type vesicajejunostomy". ConclusionVesiclectomy plus tube drainage is the procedure of choice for the treatment of liver echinococcosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of standardization regional lymphadenectomy in radical resection of ductal adenocareinoma in the pancreatic head.Methods On the basis of routine panereaticoduodenectomy(whipple proceduce),we performed the standardization regional lymphadenectomy,the emphasis of the procedure was the resection of wide nodes,particularly the mesenteric root lymph nodes(14abcd),the paraaortic lymph nodes(16a2b1),the hepatoduodenal ligament lymph nodes(12abpeh),hepatic artery(Group 8)and coeliacus lymph nodes(Group 9). Results Eleven patients underwent this procedure,there was no operative mortality,1 case occurred pancreatic fistula,the lymph nodes metastasis occurred in 7(63.6%)patients,the posterior pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes(Groupl3)and superior mensenteric artery(Groupl4)was the predominant metastatic site of the tumor,the rate of the second site metastasis to lymph nodes was 57.1%.of the 11 cases follow-up 1 died. Conclusion The radical pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with wide resection of standardization regional lymph nodes is a safe and effective procedure of the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas.but the long-term survivalrate must be valued objectively with many cases.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of mucin-producing intrahepatic biliary tumor (MPIBT).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical,radiologic,surgical and pathologic findings of 16 MPIBT cases from January 2004 to December 2011.Results There were six men and ten women,age ranged from 44 to 69 years (mean 60 years).Clinical presentation included jaundice with abdominal dull pain in 5 patients,acute cholangitis in 4 patients,painless jaundice in 2 patients,upper abdominal dull pain in 3 patients,no obvious symptoms in 1 patient,body weight loss more than 5 kg within 3 months in 5 patients.The most characteristic appearance of MPIBT on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography were asymmetry of intrahepatic bile duct dilatation and the dilatation in both extraand intrahepatic bile duct distal to the hepatic mass and not sudden interruption in extrahepatic bile duct.The primary tumor located in the left hepatic bile duct in 15 cases,in the right hepatic bile duct in one.13 MPIBT cases received hemihepatectomy and extrahepatic bile duct resection and Roux-en-Y anastomosis was done in 8 cases,3 received palliative biliary drainage.Pathologically 13 was papillary adenocarcinoma and 3 was papillary adenoma.The 1-,2-,3-year survival rates for the 16 MPIBT patients were 81％,66％,56％,respectively.Conclusions MPIBT had no specific clinical manifestations,MRCP might be an effective means for the diagnositic strategy and assessment of tumor extension before surgery,radical resection was the first choice of treatment,palliative biliary drainage could prolong the survival time.

Objective To investigate kupffer cells (KCs) expressing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase(IDO)in the inhibition of allogeneic T-cell proliferation in vitro. Methods Real-time PCR was used to investigate the expression of IDO mRNA and FasL mRNA in KCs pretreated with or without IFNγ. High performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze the catabolism of tryptophan by IDO from KCs. Allogeneic T-cell response was used to confirm the inhibition of KCs in vitro. The proliferation of lymphocytes was detected using [3 H] thymidine incorporation. Cell cycle and lymphocyte apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometric assay. Results Real-time PCR revealed IDO mRNA and FasL mRNA expression in KCs pretreated with IFN-γ. IDO catabolic effect was confirmed by a decrease in tryptophan and increase in kynurenine concentration. KCs expressing IDO and FasL from BABL/c mice acquire the ability to suppress the proliferation of T-cells from C57BL/6, which could be blocked by the addition of 1-methyl-tryptophan and anti-FasL antibody. The co-cultured T-cells with KCs expressing IDO and FasL could induce allogeneic T-cell apoptosis and exhibited cell-cycle arrest in G1. Conclusion In addition to the Fas/FasL pathway, IDO may also play an important role in KCs to inhibit allogeneic T-cell proliferation in vitro.

Objective To investigate the technical and therapeutic effects of laparoscopic surgery for adult patients with Dong Type C bile duct dilatation.Methods A retrospective cohort study approach was used.The clinical data of 47 patients with Dong Type C adult biliary dilatation who underwent surgery in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2014 to December 2017 were collected.There were 12 males and 35 females.The age ranged from 16 to 68 years,with a median age of 30 years.According to different surgical methods,the patients were divided into the laparoscopic group (treated with laparoscopic cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy,n =21) and the open group (treated with traditional open operation,n =26).The intraoperative blood loss,complication rate,operation time,postoperative intestinal function recovery time and postoperative hospital stay were observed.Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ±SD) and analyzed by t test.Comparison of count data was done by the chi-square test.Results There was no perioperative deaths in either group.There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and complication rate between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The operation time of the laparoscopic group was significantly longer than that of the open group[(333.7 ±61.1) min vs (235.9 ±64.3) min],with statistically significant difference between graps (P =0.000).The recovery time for the intestinal function of the laparoscopic group was significantly shorter than that of the open group [(2.2 ± 0.5) d vs (2.9 ± 0.6) d],with statistically significant difference between groups (P =0.000).The postoperative hospital stay in the laparoscopic group was significantly shorter than the open group [(7.1 ± 1.8) d vs (12.0 ± 5.9) d],with statistically significant difference between groups (P =0.001).Conclusion For adult biliary dilatation patiens with Dong Type C,laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible with the advantages of mini-invasive and quick recovery.
