Congenital bile duct cysts, which is a kind of malformation of bile duct, will lead to the inflammation in the bile duct system for a long time. Therefore, patients with cholelithiasis and cyst canceration have a risk. Surgical operation is the only treatment option for the congenital bile duct cysts patients. Resection of the cysts and complete " biliary-pancreatic duct shunt" are the key points of the standardized treatment of congenital bile duct cysts. The non-standard surgical treatment will bring the postoperative complications such as the stricture of choledochojejunostomy, the remnant cysts and even the canceration of cysts, which will seriously affect the quality of life and threaten the health of patients. Based on the retrospective study of congenital bile duct cysts patients in Eastern Hepatobiliary Hospital, the author proposed a new classification system according to the pathological and anatomical characteristics of congenital bile duct cysts. The congenital bile duct cysts can be divided into three regions and five types, i. e. localized type and diffuse type of extrahepatic bile duct cysts of hilar, trunk and terminal type; central type; and intrahepatic bile duct cysts of limited and diffuse type. It is our hope that this typing system will accurately guide the design and implementation of surgical treatment plans for congenital bile duct cysts and reduce the risk of long-term postoperative complications for patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of holographic image navigation in urological laparoscopic and robotic surgery.Methods The data of patients were reviewed retrospectively for whom accepted holographic image navigation laparoscopic and robotic surgery from Jan.2019 to Dec.2019 in Beijing United Family Hospital and other 18 medical centers,including 78 cases of renal tumor,2 cases of bladder cancer,2 cases of adrenal gland tumor,1 cases of renal cyst,1 case of prostate cancer,1 case of sweat gland carcinoma with lymph node metastasis,1 case of pelvic metastasis after radical cystectomy.All the patients underwent operations.In the laparoscopic surgery group,there were 27 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of radical prostatectomy,2 cases of radical cystectomy and 2 cases of adrenalectomy.In the da Vinci robotic surgery group of 54 cases,there were 51 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection,1 case of retroperitoneal bilateral renal cyst deroofing and 1 case of resection of pelvic metastasis.There were 41 partial nephrectomy patients with available clinical data for statistic,with a median age of 53.5 years (range 24-76),including 26 males and 15 females.The median R.E.N.A.L score was 7.8 (range 4-11).Before the operation,the engineers established the holographic image based on the contrast CT images and reports.The surgeon applied the holographic image for preoperative planning.During the operation,the navigation was achieved by real time fusing holographic images with the laparoscopic surgery images in the screen.Results All the procedures had been complete uneventfully.The holographic images helped surgeon in understanding the visual three-dimension structure and relation of vessels supplying tumor or resection tissue,lymph nodes and nerves.By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally,the fused image guide surgeons about location vessel,lymph node and other important structure and then facilitate the delicate dissection.For the 41 cases with available clinical data including 23 cases of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and 18 cases of laparoscopic nephrectomy,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-225) min,the median warm ischemia time was 23 (range 14-60) min,the median blood loss was 80(range 5-1 200) ml.In the robotic surgery group,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-215)min,the median warm i schemia time was 21 (range 17-40)min,the median blood loss was 150(range 30-1 200)ml.In the laparoscopic surgery group,the median operation time was 160(range 80-225)min,the median warm ischemia time was 25 (range 14-60)min,the median blood loss was 50 (range 5-1 200) ml.All the patients had no adjacent organ injury during operation.There were 2 cases with Clavien Ⅱ complications.One required transfusion and the other one suffered hematoma post-operation.However,the tumors were located in the renal hilus for these 2 cases and the R.E.N.A.L scores were both 11.Conclusions Holographic image navigation can help location and recognize important anatomic structures during the surgical procedures..This technique will reduce the tissue injury,decrease the complications and improve the success rate of surgery.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection (DGMI) against oxidative stress induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in SH-SY5Y cells. METHODS SH-SY5Y cells were divided into five groups: normal control, model control (OGD group) and drug(25 mg · L- 1) administration groups including DGMI group, extract of ginkgo biloba leaves injection group (EGBLI) and lactones ginkgo biloba injection group (LGBI). The cells suffered from oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 4 h, followed by reoxygenation with drugs for 6 h. Then, cell viabilities were detect using CCK-8 assays, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels using fluorescence probe DCFH-DA and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities using WST-1 test. Western blotting was used to detected protein levels of hemeoxygenase-1(HO-1), NAD(P)H, quinone oxidore?ductase l (Nqo1), protein kinase B (Akt), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), nuclear factor-E2-related factor2 (Nrf2) and phosphorylated Nrf2 (p-Nrf2). The cells were induced by OGD for 4 h, followed by reoxygen?ation and DGMI for 1 h, combined with different concentrations of PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) (at the final concentration of 12.5, 25 and 50 μmol · L-1) before the protein levels of AKT, p-AKT, Nrf2 and p-Nrf2 were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS SH-SY5Y cells induced by OGD for 4 h resulted in an increase in ROS(P<0.01), but a decrease in cell viabilities(P<0.01), SOD activities(P<0.01), and antioxidant protein levels ( Akt, p-Akt, Nrf2, p-Nrf2, HO-1 and Nqo1) (P<0.01). Compared with OGD group, treatment with reoxygenation and drugs (DGMI,EGBLI and LGBI respectively) for 6 h resulted in a decrease in ROS (P<0.01), but an increase in cell viabilities, SOD activities and antioxidant protein levels of p-Nrf2, HO-1, Nqo1 and p-Akt(P<0.05,P<0.01). DGMI group showed the best efficiently. Moreover, after OGD for 4 h, compared with DGMI group, combining reoxygenation and DGMI with LY294002 for 1 h resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of the protein levels of p-AKT and p-Nrf2(P<0.01). CONCLUSION DGMI 25 mg · L-1 can inhibit oxidative stress in SH-SY5Y cells induced by OGD by increasing the activity and expression of Nrf2 through PI3K/Akt pathway, which may be one of the mechanisms by which DGMI protects neurons from stroke.

Gallbladder carcinoma (GC) is the most common malignant tumor in bile duct system.Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a benign inflammatory gallbladder disease.It is often misdiagnosed between them.This paper,through reviewing the literature and summarizing our own clinical experience,will give a better understanding on the two diseases,which was summarized as follows:inflammation is important both in the pathogenesis of GC and XGC,and we can make the correct diagnosis and choose an appropriate treatment by analy zing the feature of disease history,image data and rapid intraoperative pathological diagnosis.Radical resection remains the first choice in the treatment of GC,but the extent of resection is controversial.Normally,cholecystectomy is sufficient for curing XGC,but different surgeries are needed according to the specific disease conditions.

Objective To discuss the clinical feasibility and safety of modified invaginated pencreaticojejunostomy approach (Jiang's anastomosis) which was developed by the team of biliary surgery department from Shanghai Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital.Methods Clinical data of 289 patients receiving modified invaginated pencreaticojejunostomy approach in pancreaticoduodenectomy were retrospectively studied.Wilcoxon signed-rank test,Chi-square and logistic regression tests were comprehensively used to evaluate the postoperative complications and the association with POPF.Results One hundred and sixtythree of 289 patients (54.6％) experienced postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy procedure.There were 45 onsets of severe complications,accounted for 17.6％ (45/255).Perioperative mortality was 3.1％ (9/289).The most common complications included celiac effusion and infection (26.6％),delayed gastric emptying (17.6％),gastroenterological tract fistula (12.4％),gastroenterological tract hemorrhage (9.7％).Additionally,the incidence of POPF was 9.3％,which all conformed as biochemical fistula (6.9％) and grade-B fistula (2.4％).Conclusions As a risk factor,POPF may play crucial role in celiac hemorrhage and infection associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy.Modified invaginated pencreaticojejunostomy approach (Jiang's anastomosis) with easy manipulation,wide indication,safe and effective performance,could be recommended to reduce POPF incidence.

Objective To retrospectively study the clinical value and the advantages in " planned hepatectomy" for the "central type" intrahepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cysts.Methods The clinical data of 7 patients with the "central type" of intrahepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cysts which were treated with "planned hepatectomy" from January 2014 through April 2017 at the Department of Biliary Tract Surgery of the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital,Second Military Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Results All the patients completed radical resection of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cysts in accordance with the " planned hepatectomy".The operations included 6 patients who were treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) and 5 patients with portal vein embolization (PVE) prior to the surgical excision.Combined right liver resection was performed in 6 patients,and combined left liver resection in one patient.All the 7 patients had a history of chronic cholangitis.Liver volume tests demonstrated that the hemiliver volume to be removed (the embolized hemiliver) significantly decreased after PVE,whereas the hemilivers to be persevered were remarkably enlarged.No complication associated with PTCD and PVE occurred.The mean postoperative hospitalization was 12 days.Liver function tests suggested all the patients recovered well.No postoperative complication of bleeding,infection or liver function failure was observed,except in one patient who experienced pleural and abdominal effusion.Conclusions Combined subtotal hepatectomy may increase the risk of complications associated with the "central type" intrahepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cysts.The surgical strategy in planned hepatectomy can be used effectively to treat the "central type" of intrahepatic and extrahepatic choledochal cysts,with improved surgical safety,decrease in incidences of postoperative liver function failure and residual choledochal cysts.

Objective To determine the concentration of eupatilin and arteanoflavone in A rtemisia anomala by high per-formance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Methods A rtemisia anomala was extracted by ultrasonic for 60 minutes with 10 times volume of methanol.The HPLC was performed on a SHISEIDO MG-C18 column (3.0 mm × 100 mm,3μm).The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile (ACN) and 0.1% formic acid (40:60,V/V ).The detection wavelength was 350 nm,the column temperature was 25 ℃ and the injection volumn was 5μl.Results Eupatilin and arteanoflavone were separated at base-line within 15min with good linearity.The method validation results show that the precisions,repeatability and stability were all in the normal range.The low,medium and high level recoveries of eupatilin were 100.26%,99.58%,102.24%,and those of arteanoflavone were 99.09%,101.12%,101.43%,respectively.Conclusion The method was rapid,simple,reproductive and accurate.It can be used to control the quality of Artemisia anomala.

To investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection(DGMI)on SH-SY5Y cells induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R), and to explore its mechanisms. After 4 h of OGD, the SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 25 mg/L DGMI for 1 h. The release of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH)was measured by cytotoxicity detection kitplus. Cell apoptosis was detected by caspase-3/7 assays. Cell death was detected by ELISA. The concentration of ［Ca2+］i in cytoplasm was measured by Fluo-3 AM and the levels of calpain and cleaved capaease-12 were evaluated by western blot. As we expected, DGMI significantly decreased the release of LDH, the concentration of ［Ca2+］i, the protein levels of calpain and cleaved caspase-12. Furthermore, DGMI injection also attenuated the activities of caspase-3/7 and the contents of cytoplasmic histone-associated- DNA-fragments. These data demonstrated that the DGMI injection showed good anti-apoptotic effect in SH-SY5Y cells induced by OGD/R. The mechanisms may be associated with the inhibition of Ca2+/calpain/caspase-12/caspase-3 signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate T cell and CD4+ CD28-T in the development and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =10 each).An AAA animal model is established by enhancing perfusing elastase to the infrarenal abdominal aorta of the rats.The levels of T cell,B cell and macrophage cell of abdominal aorta of the rats on days 3,7,14 and 28,were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).CD4+ CD28-T cell of the peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry.Result There was significant T-lymphocyte infiltration both in middle and outer membrane of the artery of the rats on day 7 after surgery.T-lymphocyte,B-lymphocyte and macrophage cell infiltration were on the peak in middle and outer membrane of the artery on day 14 after surgery.The ratio of CD4+ CD28-T cell in rat peripheral blood reached peak on day 7(P ＜0.05).Conclusions T cell and CD4+ CD28-T cell expression increased in peripheral blood and abdominal aorta in AAA rat model,suggesting a potential role of T cell and CD4+ CD28-T cells in the pathogenesis of AAAs,especially during the early development of AAAs.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for postoperative liver failure of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and bile duct tumor thrombus through a risk evaluation model.Methods The clinical data of 107 patients with HCC and bile duct tumor thrombus who received hepatic resection at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from March 2002 to February 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the non-liver failure group (98 patients) and liver failure group (9 patients).Risk factors associated with liver failure were analyzed and a risk evaluation model was established.All data were analyzed using the bivariate regression model,and factors with significance were further analyzed using the multivariate regression model.Results Of the 107 patients,105 received hepatic resection + choledochotomy + thrombectomy and 2 received hepatic resection + extrahepatic bile duct resection + cholangiojejunostomy.The operation time was 2.0-5.5 hours,and the intraoperative blood loss was 200-3500 ml.In the non-liver failure group,5 patients had pleural and peritoneal effusion,3 had biliary bleeding,2 had incisional infection,1 had biliary infection,1 had bile leakage,1 had stress-induced ulcer of upper digestive tract and 1 had thoracic epidural hematoma.The bleeding of the patients with thoracic epidural hematoma was stopped after thoracic spinal decompression,but subsequent paraplegia occurred.In the liver failure group,2 patients died of postoperative acute liver failure,and 7 patients died of postoperative subacute liver failure (death caused by tumor recurrence or medicine was excluded).The results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative total bilirubin,albumin,pre-albumin,albumin/globulin ratio,distribution of tumor thrombus,operative blood loss and ratio of postoperative residual liver volume to the total liver volume were correlated with the postoperative liver failure in patients with HCC and bile duct tumor thrombus (OR =3.017,0.191,0.248,2.681,9.048,4.759,13.714,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative total bilirubin ＞ 256.5 μmol/L,albumin/globulin ratio ≤ 1.3 and postoperative residual liver volume ＜ 50％ were the independent risk factors of postoperative liver failure (OR =5.537,11.107,172.450,P ＜ 0.05).The risk evaluation model was Z =1.77 × preoperative total bilirubin + 2.408 × preoperative albumin/globulin ratio + 5.150 × ratio of postoperative residual liver volume to the total liver volume-17.288.The risk of postoperative liver failure increased as the increase of Z value.The risk of postoperative liver failure ＞ 50％ when the Z value ＞ 0.Conclusions Preoperative total bilirubin ＞ 256.5μmol/L,albumin/globulin ratio ≤ 1.3 and postoperative residual liver volume ＜ 50％ were the independent risk factors of postoperative liver failure.Risk evaluation model is helpful in screening the risk factors so as to decrease the incidence of postoperative liver failure.
