Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of bilateral route minimal- incision necrosectomy combined with continuous lavage for the treatment of infected necrotizing pancreatitis (INP).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 20 patients with IPN who were admitted to Daping Hospital, Army Medical University from April 2016 to July 2019 were collected. There were 11 males and 9 females, aged (42±9)years. All the 20 patients underwent bilateral route minimal-incision necrosectomy, and then be continuous perfused and drainage within the purulent cavity postoperatively. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detected patients fever, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea, peripancreatic residual infection and survival up to January 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: of the 20 patients who underwent surgery successfully, 14 patients underwent upper abdomen combined with left retroperitoneal approach, 1 patient underwent upper abdomen combined with right retroperitoneal approach, and the other 5 patients underwent upper abdomen combined with bilateral retroperitoneal approach. Fourteen of the 20 patients underwent additional surgery including 10 cases undergoing jejunostomy, 2 cases undergoing gastrostomy combined with jejunostomy, 1 case undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with jejunostomy, and 1 case undergoing cholecystectomy. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 20 patients were (228±41) minutes and 100 mL (range, 50-700 mL), respectively. (2) Postoperative situations: 20 patients began continuous perfused with 0.9% sodium chloride solution within the purulent cavity at postoperative day 2 (range, day 1-14). Six of the 20 patients had postoperative complications including 1 case with postoperative gastric fistula combined with intraperitoneal hemorrhage who underwent laparotomy hemostasis combined with gastrostomy at day 13 postoperatively, 1 case with postoperative duodenal fistula who underwent gastrointestinal anastomosis and jejunostomy at day 111 postoperatively, 1 case with postoperative retroperitoneal residual tissue necrosis and infection who underwent peripancreatic necrotic tissue debridement and drainage at day 11 postoperatively, 1 case with postoperative gallbladder fistula who underwent cholecystectomy at day 71 postoperatively, and 2 cases with postoperative pancreatic fistula who were cured with conservative treatment. The duration of hospital stay after 1st operation of the 20 patients were 42 days (range,20-178 days). (3) Follow-up: all 20 patients were followed up for 6.0 to 45.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 14.5 months. During the follow-up, 1 case developed secondary diabetes, and none of patient showed clinical manifestation such as fever, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and diarrhea. The peripancreatic residual tissue of all 20 patients absorbed well, and none of patient died.Conclusion:Bilateral route minimal-incision necrosectomy combined with continuous lavage is safe and feasible for the treatment of INP.

How to effectively remove the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts in the electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, when EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) are simultaneous recorded, is a challenge for integration of EEG and FMRI. According to the temporal-spatial difference between MRI artifacts and EEG, a new method based on sparse component decomposition in the mixed over-complete dictionary is proposed in this paper to remove MR artifacts. A mixed over-complete dictionary (MOD) of waveletes and discrete cosine which can exhibit the temporal-spatial discrepancy between MRI artificats and EEG is constructed first, and then the signals are separated by learning in this MOD with matching pursuit (MP) algorithm. The method is applied to the MRI artifacts corrupted EEG recordings and the decomposition result shows its validation.

During natural viewing, we often recognize multiple objects, detect their motion, and select one object as the target to track. It remains to be determined how such behavior is guided by the integration of visual form and motion perception. To address this, we studied how monkeys made a choice to track moving targets with different forms by smooth pursuit eye movements in a two-target task. We found that pursuit responses were biased toward the motion direction of a target with a hole. By computing the relative weighting, we found that the target with a hole exhibited a larger weight for vector computation. The global hole feature dominated other form properties. This dominance failed to account for changes in pursuit responses to a target with different forms moving singly. These findings suggest that the integration of visual form and motion perception can reshape the competition in sensorimotor networks to guide behavioral selection.
