This study evaluates long-term results of intended laparoscopic treatment for suspected GBC confined to the gallbladder wall, based on our experience over 10 years.Methods: Between August 2006 and December 2015, 164 patients with suspected GBC confined to the wall were enrolled in the protocol for laparoscopic surgery. The process for GBC treatment was analyzed to evaluate the feasibility of computed tomography(CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) combined with frozen-section examination in identifying GBC confined to the wall. Of 159 patients who underwent the intended laparoscopic radical treatment, 47 with pathologically proven GBC were investigated to determine the safety and oncologic outcomes of a laparoscopic approach to GBC.Results: Among the 164 patients, 5 patients avoided further radical surgery because of unresectable disease and12 were converted to open surgery; in the remaining 147 patients, totally laparoscopic treatment was successfully accomplished. Extended cholecystectomy was performed in 37 patients and simple cholecystectomy in 10. The T stages based on final pathology were Tis(n=6), T1 a(n=2), T1 b(n=9), T2(n=26), and T3(n=4). Recurrence was detected in 11 patients over a median follow-up of 51 months. The disease-specific 5-year survival rate of these 47 patients was 68.8%, and rose to 85% for patients with a normal cancer antigen 19-9(CA19-9) level.Conclusions: The favorable long-term outcomes demonstrate the feasibility of combined CT/MRI and frozensection examination in the selection of patients with GBC confined to the gallbladder wall, confirm the oncologic safety of laparoscopic treatment in selected GBC patients, and favor measurement of preoperative CA19-9 in the selection of GBCs suitable for laparoscopic treatment.展开更多

Method:140 patients with colon cancer admitted to a hospital from January 2016 to November 2017 were divided into control group and observation group according to the operation method, 70 cases in each group. The control group was treated with open radical resection of colon cancer, while the observation group was treated with laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer. The changes of immune function, stress response, visceral protein and gastrointestinal hormone were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:There was no significant difference in immune function, stress response, visceral protein and gastrointestinal hormone between the two groups before operation (P>0.05). The ratio of Th1 cells was decreased, while the ratio of Th2, Th17 and Treg cells was increased in the two groups (P<0.05). The proportion of Th1 cells in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,while the ratio of Th2, Th17 and Treg cells in the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The levels of Cor, E and NE were increased in the two groups (P<0.05). And the levels of Cor, E and NE in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of PA, TRF and RBP were decreased in the two groups (P<0.05). And PA, TRF and RBP levels were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The GAS, MTL and GIP levels were lower in the two groups (P<0.05). And the GAS, MTL and GIP levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: Laparoscopic radical mastectomy has little effect on the immune function of patients. It can alleviate the surgical stress response to a certain extent, which is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function and can be extended to clinical application.展开更多
