Background: The main cause of PGD in PPG patients has been considered to be LAC. Relationships between LAC and PGD and GEF in PPG patients are still unknown. Methods: Of 50 patients who underwent PPG in our hospital from January 2001 to December 2015 were divided into 2 groups [Group A, short LAC of 1.5 to 2.5 cm (n = 24);Group B, long LAC of 2.6 to 3.5 cm (n = 26)]. The relationships among LAC, PGD, and GEF were retrospectively studied. Results: LAC was clearly shorter in group A than group B (P < 0.01). PAF, appetite and food consumption per meal were clearly more favorable in group B than in group A (P < 0.01, respectively). Symptomatic reflux esophagitis (RE), early dumping syndrome, decreased percent body weight for pre-illness, endoscopic RE and endoscopic gastritis in the remnant stomach were more frequent in group A than group B. Gastric stasis in the remnant stomach was clearly more frequent in group A than group B (P < 0.01). GEF with the solid diet in group A was clearly more delayed than in group B (P Conclusions: Patients with a short LAC showed worse postoperative QOL and delayed GEF with the solid diet compared with a long LAC.展开更多

By rewriting the EMPT as a form of perfect fluid,the dynamical back-reaction of HFGW on the background space-time was discussed. The result shows that the energy density of HFGW,which is in the gauge we chose,is positive definite. The HFGW serves as a source for curving the background space-time and affects the dynamical evolution and time evolution of the scale factor of the Robertson-Walker metric.展开更多
