Objective:To explore the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic local pancreatectomy in the treatment of cystic neoplasms of pancreatic head.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted of data on patients with pancreatic head cystic neoplasms who received laparoscopic surgery at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from February 2017 to October 2022. A total of 83 patients were enrolled, including 30 males and 53 females, aged (43.7±16.7) years old. All patients were divided into an observation group ( n=55) and a control group ( n=28) based on different surgical procedures. The observation group underwent laparoscopic local pancreatectomy (laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection or laparoscopic enucleation), while the control group underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). The age, gender, body mass index, postoperative hospital stay, proportion of discharged patients with drainage tubes, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion rate, and fistula were compared between two groups. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery, and there were no cases of conversion to laparotomy or perioperative deaths. There was no statistically significant difference in age, male proportion, body mass index, postoperative hospital stay, and discharge rate with drainage tube between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). The observation group had a surgical time of (194.4±114.0) min, intraoperative bleeding of 50 (50, 200) ml, and intraoperative blood transfusion rate of 5.5%(3/55), all of which were better than that of the control group, (380.0±71.6) min, 200 (100, 400) ml, and 32.1%(9/28), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Among them, the B/C fistula rates in the laparoscopic local pancreatectomy group and LPD group were 12.7%(7/55) and 10.7%(3/28) ( P=0.790), respectively. Conclusion:Compared with traditional LPD, laparoscopic local pancreatectomy can shorten surgical time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and lower intraoperative blood transfusion rate. And there is no significant disadvantage in the B or C grade fistula.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and management strategies of late bleeding after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients with post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 42 males and 16 females, aged (61.88±11.02) years old. According to the occurrence of intra-abdominal erosion factors (e.g., pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, intra-abdominal abscess), patients were divided into the erosion group ( n=42) and non-erosion group ( n=16). All patients underwent standard lymphadenectomy. Clinical data including the PPH time-point, occurrence of rebleeding, and treatment outcomes were accessed. The management strategies of PPH in the two groups of patients were analyzed. Results:The PPH time-point in the erosion group and non-erosion patients was 8.00 (5.00, 19.25) d and 21.50 (12.75, 26.75) d, respectively ( P=0.001). PPH can occurred within one month after surgery in both erosion and non-erosion groups. In the erosion group, 31 cases (73.81%, 31/42) were treated by re-operation, two (4.76%, 2/42) by interventional radiology and nine (21.43%, 9/42) with conservative protocol, respectively. In the non-erosion group, five cases (31.25%, 5/16) were treated by re-operation, seven (43.75%, 7/16) by interventional radiology and four (25.00%, 4/16) with conservative protocol, respectively. The incidence of re-bleeding is higher in the erosion group [47.6% (20/42) vs 12.5% (2/16), P<0.05]. Clinical manifestations, sites and severity of bleeding, and treatment outcomes were also different in the erosion and non-erosion groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The occurrence of intra-abdominal erosion factors can affect the clinical characteristics and treatment strategy of late bleeding after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgery remains the treatment of choice for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage either as an urgent or last resort.

Lateral epicondylitis is a common clinical disease with characteristics of lateral elbow pain, insidious onset and easy recurrence, which can cause forearm pain and decreased wrist strength, seriously affecting patients′ daily life and work. Although there are various treatment methods for lateral epicondylitis with different effects, standard treatments are still lacking nowadays. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has good effects on bone and tendon repair, and is now widely used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. However, there is a lack of a unified understanding of the technology and specifications of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Therefore, the Sports Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Branch of the Chinese Medical Association organized experts in the fields of sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine in China to formulate the "clinical expert consensus on platelet-rich plasma treatment for lateral epicondylitis (2022 version)", and proposed suggestions based on evidence-based medicine mainly from the concept, epidemiology and pathophysiology of lateral epicondylitis, symptoms, signs and imaging manifestations of lateral epicondylitis, PRP concept and application component requirements, quality control of PRP preparation technology, indications and contraindications of PRP in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, PRP injection in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, application of PRP in the operation of lateral epicondylitis, related problems after PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, evaluation of the results after PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, and health and economic evaluation of PRP treatment of lateral epicondylitis, so as to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To study the retrocolonic approach for laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenec-tomy (LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 53 patients who underwent LPD using the retrocolonic approach at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 36 males and 17 females, aged (61.9±8.8) years old. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative complications were analysed.Results:LPD was successfully performed in 53 patients via the retrocolonic approach. The operation time was (285.7±49.8) min, and the resection time for specimens was (120.0±10.5) min. The median intraoperative blood loss was 200 ml and blood loss ranged from 50 to 800 ml. Among the 53 patients, 3 patients underwent combined portal vein resection and reconstruction (end-to-end anastomosis). The operation time was 300, 325 and 385 min, respectively, and the intraoperative blood loss was 400-800 ml. During the operation, 5 patients (9.43%) had transection of the middle colonic artery and underwent resection of part of the transverse mesocolon due to invasion of the transverse mesocolon by tumours. Postoperative complications occurred in 5 patients (9.43%), including 4 patients with pancreatic fistula and 1 patient with hemorrhage and with delayed gastric emptying. The postoperative passage of first flatus was (5.40±1.14) days in 5 patients with transection and (2.92±1.03) days in 48 patients without transection of the middle colonic artery. All patients were discharged home successfully. The postoperative pathological results showed all patients to achieve R 0 resection. Conclusion:Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy via the retrocolonic approach was safe and feasible for patients with a large duodenal tumor, pancreatic head uncinate process tumor with or without invasion of the portal vein and mesenteric vessels.

Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of laparosocpic left-liver-first anterior radical modular orthotopic right hemihepatectomy (Lap-Larmorh) in treatment of Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:From June 2020 to April 2022, 13 patients with Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent Lap-Larmorh at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University. There were 8 males and 5 females, aged (60.9±8.4) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications and postoperative survival were analyzed.Results:Five patients were treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage to reduce jaundice before surgery. All 13 patients successfully underwent the Lap-Larmorh and there was no conversion to laparotomy. The operative time was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 390.0 (355.0, 435.0) minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 800.0 (300.0, 1 100.0) ml. Postoperative complications occurred in 4 patients with pleural effusion, and 1 patient had portal vein thrombosis associated with pleural effusion, who was managed successfully using low molecular weight heparin sodium anticoagulation therapy and pleural effusion tapping. The postoperative hospital stay was (12.5±5.5) days, and there was no perioperative death. Intraoperative frozen pathology showed 12 patients with left hepatic duct with negative margins, and 1 patient with moderate dysplasia. Postoperative paraffin pathology showed 12 patients with bile duct adenocarcinoma, 1 patient with bile duct mucinous adenocarcinoma, 2 patients with tumors of high differentiation, 10 patients with moderate differentiation, and 1 patient with poor differentiative. The R 0 resection rate was 100.0% (13/13) and the tumor diameter was (2.9±0.9) cm. Follow-up by telephone or outpatient clinics after operation showed 1 patients to be lost to follow-up. The 1-year survival rate after operation was 66.7% (8/12). Conclusion:For Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the new laparoscopic approach of Lap-Larmorh was safe and feasible.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of clinical application of " variable diameter measurable pancreatic duct" in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at the Second Hospital, Hebei Medical University Liver Surgical Team from July 2019 to July 2020 using the " HongShi single stitch" method of pancreatic duct to jejunum anastomosis on 147 patients who underwent LPD. According to the type of pancreatic duct, the patients were divided into having normal pancreatic ducts (the normal group, n=61) and those having " variable diameter measuring pancreatic duct" (the variable diameter group, n=86). The perioperative data and postoperative complications were compared and analyzed. Results:There were 89 males and 58 females, aged (56.7±1.5) years. There were no significant differences in age, gender and body mass index between groups ( P>0.05). For the variable diameter group, the diameter of the divided pancreatic stump was (3.2±0.1) mm, and the depth of internal pancreatic duct stenting was (4.7±0.2) cm. However, it could not be measured accurately in the normal group. The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula rate was significantly lower in the variable diameter group than the normal group [2.32% (2/61) vs. 11.47% (7/86), P=0.023]. Conclusion:The variable diameter measurement of pancreatic duct was safe and effective in choosing patients to undergo LPD.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in evaluating the influential factors of early insufficient flow after central venous catheter placement in dialysis patients.Methods:Three hundred and twenty seven hemodialysis patients who underwent central venous catheterization at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from May 2016 to June 2019 were selected. According to the catheter flow, the patients were divided into the low catheter flow group(43 cases) and the normal catheter flow group(284 cases). The distribution variance of clinical features(age, gender, blood pressure) were compared and whether some ultrasonic parameters(position of catheter tip, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, distance from the catheter tip to superior vena cava beyond right atrial opening) had influence on the insufficient catheter flow in the early stage between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The differences of left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial end-systolic diameter and position of catheter tip between the two groups were statistically different( P<0.05). However, univariate and multivariate analyses showed that there were significant differences in catheter tip approaches and touches the wall of right atrium( OR=5.393, 95% CI=2.039-14.263, P=0.001), increased left atrial end-systolic diameter( OR=0.321, 95% CI=0.124-0.827, P=0.019), left ventricular ejection fraction in critical range( OR=2.953, 95% CI=1.113-7.835, P=0.030) and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction( OR=5.828, 95% CI=1.869-18.174, P=0.002) were the independent risk factors of early insufficient catheter flow. Conclusions:Insufficient catheter flow after central venous catheterization is related to catheter position, left atrial end-systolic diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction. Ultrasonography evaluation is a primary method to observe the position of the catheter tip in dialysis patients and diagnose the early insufficient catheter flow after central venous catheterization.

Objective To understand the development of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)management organ-izations in China in the past 30 years.Methods Development of HAI management organizations in 12 provinces (municipalities,autonomous regions)in China was surveyed.Results A total of 166 hospitals were surveyed,96 (57.83%)were tertiary hospitals.Among 164 hospitals which had a history of development of HAI management department,46(28.05%)before 1995,63(38.14%)in 1995-2005,and 55(33.54%)in 2005-2015 set up HAI management departments.HAI management professionals per 1 000 beds in 165 hospitals decreased from 4.80 in 1995 to 4.09 in 2015,occupational categories in HAI management departments in 1995 -2015 were significantly different (χ2 =26.22,P <0.01).The constituent ratios of education background and profession of HAI manage-ment professionals in each province in 1995-2015 were significantly different(χ2 =242.91,47.10,respectively,all P <0.01).In 1995 and 2005,70.81%,53.30% of professionals were with college degree or below;in 2015,the percentage of professionals with bachelor’s degree,doctoral degree,and master’s degree were 53.79%,2.45%, and 22.86% respectively.Most professionals were nursing staff,but the percentage decreased from 58.38% in 1995 to 45.96% in 2015.Conclusion Although HAI management organizations have developed for 30 years and made some achievements,there still remain some problems,the proportion of professionals needs to be enhanced,and personnel structure should be optimized.

Objective To explore the direct economic loss caused by healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in general hospitals in China.Methods 68 hospitals were selected,a retrospective 1:1 matched survey was conducted to compare the direct medical cost in patients with and without HAI between January 1,2015 and December 31,2015. Results A total of 2 123 pairs of patients with and without HAI were included in the survey.The average cost of hospitalization in HAI and non-HAI groups were ￥25 845.30 and ￥12 006.14 respectively,￥13 839.16 on average was increased due to HAI.The average economic loss in provincial and ministerial levels of hospitals were￥21 409.83.The average economic loss in different regional hospitals were ￥9 725.42-￥18 909.59,and north China ranked the first.Economic loss caused by bloodstream infection and lower respiratory tract infection were more than other sites,which were ￥23 190.09 and ￥18 194.50 respectively.Conclusion HAI resulted in considerable direct economic loss.Prevention and control of HAI,especially bloodstream infection and lower respiratory tract infection should be paid more attention.
