METHODS:From January 2001 to April 2007,766 HCC patients who had undergone resection were included in this research. Lipiodol angiography was performed within 2 mo after surgery and followed by post-Lipiodol computed tomography (CT) 4 wk later for all 766 patients to monitor tumor in the remnant liver. Tumor detected within the first 3-mo postoperative period was defined as residual tumor. Patients were divided into 2 groups:disease or disease-free within the first 3 mo after surgery. Risk factors for residual tumor were investigated among various clinicopathological variables. RESULTS:A total of 63 (8.22%) patients were found to have residual tumor after surgery. Three independent factors associated with residual tumor were identified by multivariate analysis:preoperative serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) level [odds ratio (OR) = 1.68 (95% confidence interval (CI):1.20-2.36)],tumor size [OR = 1.73 (95% CI:1.29-2.31)] and microvascular invasion [OR = 1.91 (95% CI:1.12-3.24)]. CONCLUSION:Residual tumor is related to AFP level,tumor size and microvascular invasion. Patients at high risk should undergo closer follow-up and could be candidates for multimodality therapy.展开更多

METHODS:Twenty-four patients underwent RAMPS with curative intent between January 2005 and June 2009 at the National Cancer Center, South Korea. Clinicopathologic data, including age, sex, operative findings, pathologic results, adjuvant therapy, postop-erative clinical course and follow-up data were retro-spectively collected and analyzed for this study. RESULTS:Twenty-one patients (87.5%) underwent distal pancreatectomy and 3 patients (12.5%) underwent total pancreatectomy using RAMPS. Nine patients (37.5%) underwent combined vessel resection, including 8 superior mesenteric-portal vein resections and 1 celiac axis resection. Two patients (8.3%) underwent combined resection of other organs, including the colon, stomach or duodenum. Negative tangential margins were achieved in 22 patients (91.7%). The mean tumor diameter for all patients was 4.09 ± 2.15 cm. The 2 patients with positive margins had a mean diameter of 7.25 cm. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 20.92 ± 11.24 and the node positivity rate was 70.8%. The median survival of the 24 patients was 18.23 ± 6.02 mo. Patients with negative margins had a median survival of 21.80 ± 5.30 mo and those with positive margins had a median survival of 6.47 mo (P = 0.021). Nine patients (37.5%) had postoperative complications, but there were no postoperative mortalities. Pancreatic fistula occurred in 4 patients (16.7%):2 patients had a grade A fistula and 2 had a grade B fistula. On univariate analysis, histologic grade, positive tangential margin, pancreatic fistula and adjuvant therapy were significant prognostic factors for survival. CONCLUSION:RAMPS is a feasible procedure for achieving negative tangential margins in patients with carcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas.展开更多

文摘Background:Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)is recently proposed an entity by a group of international experts.However,the impact of MAFLD on the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is not clear.The aim of this study was to explore the influence of MAFLD for the prognosis of HCC after radical resection.Methods:HCC patients who received radical resection were enrolled.The recurrence-free survival(RFS)and overall survival(OS)were compared between MAFLD and non-MAFLD.Results:A total of 576 HCC patients were included,and among them 114(19.8%)met the diagnostic criteria of MAFLD.The median RFS was 34.0 months in the MAFLD group and 19.0 months in the non-MAFLD group.The 1-,3-,and 5-year RFS rates were 64.9%,49.1%and 36.1%in the MAFLD group,which were higher than those of the non-MAFLD group(59.4%,35.3%and 26.5%,respectively,P=0.01).The mean OS was 57.0 months in the MAFLD group and 52.2 months in the non-MAFLD group.There was no statistical difference in OS rate between the MAFLD group and non-MAFLD group.Similar results were found in HBV-related HCC patients in the subgroup analysis.Univariate analysis revealed that MAFLD was a protective factor for RFS in HCC patients after radical resection(P<0.05),and there was no association between MAFLD and OS rate(P>0.05).Multivariate analysis demonstrated that MAFLD was not an independent protective factor for HCC patients with radical resection.Conclusions:MAFLD improves RFS rate in HCC patients with radical resection,but is not an independent protective factor and not associated with OS rate.
文摘BACKGROUND Radical resection offers the only hope for the long-term survival of patients with gallbladder carcinoma(GBC)above the T1b stage.However,whether it should be performed under laparoscopy for GBC is still controversial.AIM To compare laparoscopic radical resection(LRR)with traditional open radical resection(ORR)in managing GBC.METHODS A comprehensive search of online databases,including Medline(PubMed),Cochrane Library,and Web of Science,was conducted to identify comparative studies involving LRR and ORR in GBCs till March 2023.A meta-analysis was subsequently performed.RESULTS A total of 18 retrospective studies were identified.In the long-term prognosis,the LRR group was comparable with the ORR group in terms of overall survival and tumor-free survival(TFS).LRR showed superiority in terms of TFS in the T2/tumor-node-metastasis(TNM)Ⅱstage subgroup vs the ORR group(P=0.04).In the short-term prognosis,the LRR group had superiority over the ORR group in the postoperative length of stay(POLS)(P<0.001).The sensitivity analysis showed that all pooled results were robust.CONCLUSION The meta-analysis results show that LRR is not inferior to ORR in all measured outcomes and is even superior in the TFS of patients with stage T2/TNMⅡdisease and POLS.Surgeons with sufficient laparoscopic experience can perform LRR as an alternative surgical strategy to ORR.

文摘BACKGROUND Situs inversus totalis(SIT)is a rare group of congenital developmental malformations in the clinical setting,with all organs in the chest and abdomen existing in a mirror image reversal of their normal positions.Few reports have described laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in patients with SIT,and it is considered difficult even for an experienced surgeon because of the mirror positioning.We present a case report of laparoscopic radical resection of a colonic splenic flexure carcinoma in a patient with SIT.CASE SUMMARY A 72-year-old male was referred to our hospital with colonic splenic flexure carcinoma,and computed tomography showed that all the organs in the chest and abdomen were inverted.Laparoscopic hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision was safely performed.The operating surgeon stood on the patient’s left side,which is opposite of the normal location.CONCLUSION Abdominal computed tomography is an effective method for diagnosing SIT preoperatively in patients with colonic splenic flexure carcinomas.Laparoscopic radical resection is difficult,but it is well established and safe.The surgeon should stand in the opposite position and perform backhand operations.
文摘Objective. To improve the recognition of diagnosis and treatment of gallbladder cancer. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 52 cases of gallbladder carcinoma in our hospital from 1988 to 1998. Results. Preoperative diagnostic rate was 90.3%, of which 12 cases (23%) were early stage of carcinoma. The total operation resection rate was 55.8%, for which only 17.8% were advance stage of carcinoma. Conclution.The early diagnosis is the key factor of increasing treatment successful rate. The following are the symptoms that raise our special attention to carcinoma of gallbladder: (1) Age over 50 have recurrent cholecystitis and with past history of gallstone; (2) Congenital malformation of bile duct; (3) Local thickening and irregularity of gallbladder wall; (4) Polypoid lesion larger than 1cm inside gallbladder; (5) Atrophic gallbladder; (6) Intraluminal stone of gallbladder does not move when change in body position; (7) Regional lymph node enlargement.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the surgical outcomes following radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) for pancreatic cancer. METHODS:Twenty-four patients underwent RAMPS with curative intent between January 2005 and June 2009 at the National Cancer Center, South Korea. Clinicopathologic data, including age, sex, operative findings, pathologic results, adjuvant therapy, postop-erative clinical course and follow-up data were retro-spectively collected and analyzed for this study. RESULTS:Twenty-one patients (87.5%) underwent distal pancreatectomy and 3 patients (12.5%) underwent total pancreatectomy using RAMPS. Nine patients (37.5%) underwent combined vessel resection, including 8 superior mesenteric-portal vein resections and 1 celiac axis resection. Two patients (8.3%) underwent combined resection of other organs, including the colon, stomach or duodenum. Negative tangential margins were achieved in 22 patients (91.7%). The mean tumor diameter for all patients was 4.09 ± 2.15 cm. The 2 patients with positive margins had a mean diameter of 7.25 cm. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 20.92 ± 11.24 and the node positivity rate was 70.8%. The median survival of the 24 patients was 18.23 ± 6.02 mo. Patients with negative margins had a median survival of 21.80 ± 5.30 mo and those with positive margins had a median survival of 6.47 mo (P = 0.021). Nine patients (37.5%) had postoperative complications, but there were no postoperative mortalities. Pancreatic fistula occurred in 4 patients (16.7%):2 patients had a grade A fistula and 2 had a grade B fistula. On univariate analysis, histologic grade, positive tangential margin, pancreatic fistula and adjuvant therapy were significant prognostic factors for survival. CONCLUSION:RAMPS is a feasible procedure for achieving negative tangential margins in patients with carcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas.
文摘目的探讨右美托咪定联合七氟烷对食管癌根治术患者应激指标、脑氧代谢指标、认知功能及高迁移率族蛋白B1(high mobility group protein B1,HMGB1)水平的影响。方法选取2020年1月至2022年12月周口市中心医院收治的124例食管癌患者,随机分为对照组及观察组各62例。观察组麻醉诱导前给予右美托咪定,对照组麻醉诱导后给予生理盐水,两组采用相同的麻醉诱导及麻醉维持方案。比较两组患者应激反应指标、脑氧代谢指标、术后认知功能障碍发生情况及外周血HMGB1含量。结果在T_(0)时两组皮质醇(Cor)、丙二醛(MDA)水平、脑氧摄取率(CERO_(2))及动脉—颈内静脉血氧含量差(Da-jvO_(2))无显著差异(P>0.05);T_(1)及T_(2)时观察组患者Cor及MDA水平、CERO_(2)及Da-jvO_(2)水平均显著低于对照组患者(P<0.05)。观察组术后认知功能障碍发生率(6.45%)与对照组(22.58%)相比显著降低(P<0.05)。观察组术后1 d及3 d外周血HMGB_(1)水平显著下降(P<0.05)。结论麻醉诱导前输注右美托咪定应用于食管癌根治术可缓解患者应激反应、调节脑氧代谢并降低术后认知功能障碍的发生率。
