Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive chronic inflammatory disease of caused by gene and other environmental factors, and clinical manifestation includes recurrent abdominal pain and dysfunction of exocrine and endocrine. For the chronic pancreatitis therapy, surgical treatment mainly aims at the intractable pain which is unresponsive to medical and endoscopic treatment, as well as complications of chronic pancreatitis. Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) gradually becomes a major therapeutic option for chronic pancreatitis surgical treatment, because it relieves the abdominal pain, reduces the opioid dependent, improves the quality of life, and increases the opportunity of insulin independent. In the past few years, a range of researches have been focusing on islet isolation, surgical approach, curative effect and postoperative complication, improvement of islet function after operation. The purpose of this article is to summarize the progression of TPIAT related research in the recent years.

Through the relevant domestic and international consensus and based on clinical experience, the Thoughts and principles of diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in China is proposed. It is considered that in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds, in the case of fully understanding the patient′s medical history, the following thoughts and principles should be complied in order. (1) Pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound after being cleaned. (2) Reasonably perform debridement to avoid being " excessive" or " not thorough". (3) Reasonably perform examination, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of pathogenic factors. (4) Treat according to etiology. (5) Find comorbidities and prevent adverse outcomes. (6) Select the correct wound treatment method reasonably and timely. When the conservative wound care treatment is considered, pay attention to embodying the concept of etiological treatment, treat the wound according to the principles of safety, phase, selectivity, and effectiveness, and make a reasonable choice of continuing conservative treatment or surgical treatment in time after completing the preparation of the wound bed. When surgical treatment is considered, pay attention to the selection of reasonable surgical method and donor site, pay attention to the healing rate of surgical wound site and the outcome of donor site, and give reasonable protection to the wound site after surgery. (7) Carry out rehabilitation treatment after wound healing and related health education.

In comparison with the traditional two-dimensional tumor cell culture, the three-dimensional tumor spheroid culture can not only provide with an in vivo-like growth environment for tumor cells, but also maintain maximum cell activities. Therefore, the three-dimensional tumor spheroid culture is widely used in oncology research. In particular, the three-dimensional tumor cells retain the material and structural basis of the microenvironment of tumor in vivo, which is closer to the actual physiological environment, allowing it to be an ideal in vitro model for evaluating the tumor treatment response and drug resistance in tumors. This review summarizes the mechanisms of drug resistance in three-dimensional tumor cells, especially those induced by the morphology and microenvironment of three-dimensional tumor spheres, and puts forward the problems existing in the current three-dimensional tumor cells model, as well as the future development direction.

OBJECTIVETo review the application of thoracoscopic repair for treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates, so as to improve the cure rate.

METHODSClinical data of 47 neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia receiving thoracoscopic repair from June 2012 to June 2017 were reviewed. The admission age, gestational age, birth weight, timing of diagnosis, hernia location, clinical manifestation, surgical timing, surgical method, operation time, postoperative mechanical ventilation time of patients were analyzed.

RESULTSThere were 42 cases of left diaphragmatic hernia and 5 cases of right diaphragmatic hernia. Thirteen cases were diagnosed prenatally. Primary diaphragmatic repair was successfully accomplished under thoracoscope in 45 neonates without perioperative complications, while 2 patients were converted to open surgery. The average operation time was (63±13) min (42-150 min), the average blood loss was (3.0±1.7) mL (1.0-9.0 mL), and the average postoperative mechanical ventilation time was (3.9±1.4) d (2.0-11.0 d). Two patients died and the treatment was withdrawn in 3 patients with an overall cure rate of 89.4% (42/47).

CONCLUSIONSThoracoscopic repair is effective and can be used as first-choice treatment of diaphragmatic hernia in neonates.

OBJECTIVETo summarize experience in the treatment of complex congenital intestinal atresia in children, so as to investigate the key points and effect of the operation.

METHODSMedical notes of 49 children with complex intestinal atresia treated between January 2012 and January 2018 were reviewed. The information of age, sex, age at operation, full-term or premature, birth weight, clinical manifestation, auxiliary examination, preliminary diagnosis, treatment process, discharge diagnosis, pathological results and prognosis of patients were analyzed.

RESULTSAll patients underwent surgical treatment, including 42 cases with laparotomy (85.7%) and 7 with laparoscopic surgery (14.3%); 1 case undergoing laparoscopic surgery was converted to laparotomy due to meconium peritonitis. The mean operation time was (147±43) min (70-270 min); the mean fasting time after surgery was (8±3) d (4-16 d); the mean parenteral nutrition time was (12±6) d (3-30 d). Eleven cases were discharged against medical after operation and lost to follow-up. Among rest 38 children, 1 child (2.6%) received intestinal resection and ostomy five days after operation due to gastrointestinal perforation; 1 child (2.6%) received conservative treatment one month later due to adhered intestinal obstruction and left hospital with cure; 1 child (2.6%) received enterodialysis and ileostomy eight days after operation due to anastomotic leak, and received the operation for the closure of fistula after three months; 4 children had complications including fluid and electrolyte disorders, anemia, hypoproteinemia and so on, and recovered after conservative treatments. Postoperative follow-up showed that 1 child with duodenal atresia had lower body weight at 6 month after operation, but the body weight returned to normal when the child was one year old; 1 child with preterm labor of 32 weeks was treated with enteral nutrition, and gradually restored the normal diet after 6 months. Growth retardation was not observed in other children.

CONCLUSIONSWith active treatment and reservation of normal bowel tube as much as possible during the operation, the prognosis of children with complex intestinal atresia is usually favorable.
