This is a specific complication of functional end-to-end anastomosis. Saccular extended obstruction of the anastomotic site of func-tional end-to-end anastomosis causes postoperative intestinal obstruction. Saccular extended obstruction places a heavy burden on patients because surgery is necessary for treatment of intestinal obstruction due to saccular extended obstruction. However, saccular extended obstruction is not a commonly recognized complication. The greatest factor contributing to the development of saccular extended obstruction is an acute angle between the portions of the intestinal tract oral and aboral to the anastomotic site. When this angle approaches obtuse angle, preferably close to a straight line, stagnation of the intestinal contents does not occur at the anastomotic site of functional end-to-end anastomosis and saccular extended obstruction is avoided. For making the angle of anastomotic intestinal tracts obtuse or straight, it may be effective that the entry hole of stapling suture instrument creating the anastomotic stoma is closed perpendicular to the intestinal axis.展开更多

The fact that different types of links have different degree of Self-Similarity is also obtained. By constructing appropriate network architecture and neural functions, functional networks can be used to model the Internet end-to-end nonlinear delay time series. Furthermore, by using adaptive parameter studying algorithm, the nonstationarity can also be well modeled. The numerical results show that the provided functional network architecture and adaptive algorithm can precisely characterize the Internet end-to-end delay dynamics.展开更多

In this study, we evaluated its impact on the colonic physiologic functions. Methods A total of 20 pigs were assigned randomly to either a stent anastomosis group （SA, n=10） or a conventional anastomosis group （CA, n=10）. Colonic anastomosis with a degradable stent was performed in the SA group, and conventional hand-sewn anastomosis was performed in the CA group. Body weight, fecal weight, total colonic transit time, immunohistochemistry staining of interstitial cells of Cajal （ICC）, plasma diamine oxidases （DAO） levels, and Western blotting analysis of occludin were evaluated before and after anastomosis. Results No obvious diarrhea or constipation was observed in all pigs. No significant difference in body weight between the groups was detected at any time. Yet, the fecal weight was less in the CA group compared with the SA group on postoperative day （POD） 7. No observable colonic paralysis or retention occurred. For total colonic transit time, there was no significant difference between the two groups at any time or among different time points in the same group. The integrated optical density of ICC showed no significant difference on either POD 14 or 30. The plasma DAO levels were remarkably elevated after surgery, and began to decrease since POD 3. However, there was no significant difference between both two groups in plasma DAO levels at any time either. For both groups, the expression of occludin was not significantly different from their pre-surgery level on either POD 14 or 30. Conclusions According to these results, this procedure with a degradable stent was supposed to be the same as the conventional hand-sewn procedure in their impact on the colonic physiologic functions.展开更多
