ABSTRACT
Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) can induce accelerated regeneration of future liver remnant (FLR) and provide the opportunity of radical resection for previously inoperable patients with liver cancer, which has been considered to be one of the most important breakthroughs in liver surgery during the 21st century. It is of great significance to fully understand the mechanism of accelerated liver regeneration induced by ALPPS. This article comprehensively reviews the research progress in this field during the past 10 years.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association among job burnout, tolerance to uncertainty and working with sickness in clinical nurses. METHODS: A total of 1 159 clinical nurses from 10 cities in Henan Province and Fujian Province were recruited by stratified cluster sampling method and tested by questionnaires including the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale-14, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12, the Sickness Presenteeism Questionnaire, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-general Survey. Bootstrap was used to analyze the association among perceived stress, tolerance to uncertainty, working with sickness and job burnout. RESULTS: Perceived stress score was(31.4±4.8), and 802(69.2%) of nurses had high perceived stress level. The score of tolerance to uncertainty was(29.8±8.5), and the score of working with sickness score was(5.5±2.0). The job burnout score was(47.9±11.8), and 570(49.2%) nurses had job burnout. Bootstrap test results showed that the perceived stress score positively affected job burnout score [standardized partial regression coefficient(β)=0.30, P<0.01]. Working with sickness score played a regulatory role between perceived stress and job burnout scores(β=0.16, P<0.01), and tolerance to uncertainty score played an intermediary role between perceived stress and job burnout scores(β=0.08, P<0.01). The regulating effect of working with sickness score played a role through the mediation of tolerance to uncertainty score. CONCLUSION: Job burnout was very serious in clinical nurses. Perceived stress can directly or through tolerance to uncertainty affect the job burnout of clinical nurses and is synergistically affected by sickness presenteeism.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the judgment strategies of stroke patients facing different visual stimulus and the main factors affecting the mental rotation test results. Methods:From May to October, 2018, 15 stroke patients and 15 age-sex-education-matched healthy controls accepted standard software-based mental rotation tests with four kinds of visual stimulus: hand back, hand palm, Chinese characters and alphabets. Reaction time and response accuracy were recorded. All the subjects were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the patients were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) additionally. Results:When hand back, hand palm and alphabets worked as visual stimulus, the response accuracy was less in the patients than in the controls (F > 7.027, P < 0.05). For all the tests, the reaction time was more in the patients than in the controls (F > 14.827, P < 0.001). The main effect of rotation angle was significant to reaction time when picture of hands as visual stimulus (F > 7.747, P < 0.001), while it was the least at 0°. The MoCA scores negatively correlated with reaction time in both groups (r < -0.375, P < 0.05), as well as the FMA-UE scores in the patients (r < -0.581, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Different types of visual stimulus may affect the judgment strategies and results of mental rotation test. Motor imagery ability is impaired for stroke patients, however, the basic reaction model maintains somehow.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the immune genome environment of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), find the immune genes related to the prognosis of COAD patients, and construct a prognostic risk score model to provide a basis for prognosis evaluation and individual diagnosis and treatment of COAD patients. Methods The RNA-seq data and clinical data of COAD patients were downloaded from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database. Samples were divided into Tumor group and Normal group according to the type of tissues, and the differentially expressed immune genes were screened by R language. The immune genes related to the prognosis of COAD patients were screened by Cox regression analysis, and the prognostic risk score model was constructed. The COAD patients were divided into high-risk group and low-risk group according to their median risk score. The predictive efficiency of the immune gene prognosis model was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and the correlation between immune gene prognostic risk model and the immune cell infiltration was analyzed. Results A total of 220 differentially expressed immune genes existed in Tumor group and Normal group. By Cox univariate and multivariate regression analysis, seven prognosis-related immune genes were screened, i.e. CXCL5 (C-X-C motif Chemokine Ligand 5), IGHV5-51 (Immunoglobulin Heavy Variable 5-51), IGKV1-33 (Immunoglobulin Kappa Variable 1-33), CHGA (Chromogranin A), UCN (Urocortin), VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) and NR3C2 (Nuclear Receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2). The overall survival rate of COAD patients was higher in low-risk group than in high-risk group (P<0.001). The overall 5-year survival rate in high-risk group and low-risk group were 49.4% and 75.8%, respectively. ROC curve showed that AUC was 0.741, suggesting that the immune gene prognosis model had a good predictive efficiency, and was associated with immune cell infiltration of B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and natural killer cells. Conclusions An immune gene risk score model has been constructed, The importance of such a prognostic model is systematically evaluated and verified in individualized treatment of patients with colon adenocarcinoma, so as to provide a direction for finding new immunotherapy targets.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the feasibility and safety of simultaneous super-selective hepatic arterial and portal vein embolization for staged hepatectomy (ASAPS) in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis.Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with HCC who underwent ASAPS at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University from December 2016 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients,including 7 males and 1 female with an average age of 44.3± 9.2,were diagnosed to have cirrhosis with insufficient volume of future liver remnant (FLR).Portal vein embolization (PVE) and super-selective hepatic arterial embolization (SHAE) were performed simultaneously.The patients were then closely monitored for the volumes of FLR.Once the FLR achieved the target volume,a second staged resectional surgery would be performed.The postoperative major complications,laboratory tests and patient long-term survival were studied.Results The ratio of FLR to the average standard liver volume (SLV) increased from (28.5±5) ％ to (49.6±7.3) ％ following the first-stage procedure.All the patients underwent liver resection successfully.The average second-stage operation time was 342.6±92.8 min,and the intraoperative blood loss was 743.8±432.1 ml.Both the postoperative serum alanine amin otransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were elevated remarkably and then droppedto the near normal levels.All the patients were discharged home without any severe complications.Among them,3 patients relapsed early in the postoperative period,5 survived without recurrence,and 3 survived for over 1 year.Conclusions The first-stage surgery of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) using ASAPS was minimally invasive.The volume growth rate of the FLR after ASAPS was comparable to that of the conventional first stage of ALPPS.In conclusion,ASAPS is a promising alternative to the traditional ALPPS as the first-line treatment of patients with insufficient FLR.

ABSTRACT
The majority of the pancreatic cancer was diagnosed at advanced stage.The tumor may invade portal vein and/or superior mesenteric vein.Moore et al.firstly reported pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein and superior mesenteric vein resection and reconstruction in 1951.This procedure has improved the resection rate of pancreatic cancer.A 72-year-old man suffered from pancreatic cancer was admitted to the Southwest Hospital in September 2011.Because the tumor invaded the confluence of portal vein and superior mesenteric vein,thus the patient underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein and superior mesenteric vein resection and reconstruction.The patient recovered smoothly without any complication,and he had a normal liver function and CA19-9 value,and no local and remote metastasis was detected during the follow-up.
ABSTRACT
Most of the pancreatic cancer was diagnosed at advanced stages and the resection rate was only 10％-20％.Vascular invasion was a common event in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer.However,in the traditional view,vascular invasion is a contraindication of pancreatic resection.With the development of surgical techniques and perioperative management,radical resection of pancreatic cancer with vascular resection and reconstruction was performed in some large centers.Preliminary results suggested that this procedure could increase the resection rate and 5-year survival to 26％-46％ and 20％ respectively,without increasing morbidity and mortality.Radical resection of pancreatic cancer with vascular resection and reconstruction was a safe and effective method for the surgical treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer,which should be performed by experienced pancreatic surgeons.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with vascular resection and reconstruction.Methods The clinical data of 56 patients who received PD combined with vascular resection and reconstruction at the Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University from January 2007 to May 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of perioperative complications,mortality and postoperative conditions were also analyzed.Results The mean operation time and intraoperative blood transfusion were 473 minutes (range,234-853 minutes) and 781 ml (range,0-900 ml),respectively.Seven patients did not receive blood transfusion.The median period of hospital stay was 25.9 days (range,17-100 days).A total of 43 patients underwent PD combined with vascular reconstruction.The incidence of perioperative complications and mortality rate were 34％ (19/56) and 7％ (4/56),respectively.There were 42 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,5 with ampullary carcinoma,3 with distal bile duct carcinoma,4 with papillary carcinoma of duodenum,1 with pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma and 1 with pancreatic serous cystadenoma.All patients were followed up till August 2011,and the 1-year survival rate was 57％ (32/56).The mean survival time was 13.5 months.The weight of 32 surviving patients increased and no abdominal pain occurred.Within 3 months after the operation,5 patients had slight diarrhea and were administered antidiarrheal; thrombosis in the artificial blood vessels and peritoneal effusion were found in 1 patient,while 6 months later,collateral circulation was formed and the peritoneal effusion was diminished.Conclusion PD combined with vascular resection and reconstruction can improve the quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer and with blood vessels involvement.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of functional pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs). Methods The clinical data of 45 patients with functional PETs who were admitted to the Southwest Hospital from January 1998 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Etiologic and localization diagnosis were made preoperatively according to the manifestation and the results of color doppler ultrasound and computed tomography, respectively. Eight patients received resection of the body and tail of the pancreas and spleen, 32 received tumor enucleation, one received resection of the pancreaticobiliary junction and four received pancreaticoduodenectomy. All patients received chemotherapy after the operation. Results Thirty-four cases of the PETs were benign and the rest eleven cases were malignant. Eight cases of the PETs were in the head of the pancreas,26 in the tail of the pancreas, seven in the body of the pancreas and four cases were with multiple PETs. The diameters of the PETs were 0. 3-5.0 cm, and the diameters of the PETs in 19 cases were above 2.0 cm. Eight patients were complicated with pancreatic leakage, two with incision infection and one with abdominal infection. Of the 33 patients with insulinoma, the blood glucose of five patients with multiple PETs was still abnormal after the operation, three patients underwent reoperation and the other two were treated by diazoxide to control the blood glucose in the normal range. The clinical symptoms of the seven patients with gastrinoma disappeared after the operation, and the gastric ulcer was healed, the 12-hour gastric juice volume and the level of the gastric acid were in the normal range after a continuous treatment with proton pump inhibition agents for 6 months. Necrotizing or migratory rash and diabetes of the four patients with glucagonoma were cured three weeks later, and the level of the amino acid was back to normal. Diarrhea and electronic disturbance of one patient with vasoactive intestinal peptide tumor were alleviated after the operation. Thirty-nine patients were followed up for 20-120 months. Of the 32 patients with benign PETs, two patients had tumor recurrence, and three patients died of other diseases. Of the seven patients with malignant PETs, two patients survived, and three patients died of hepatic metastasis or tumor recurrence, two patients died of other diseases. Conclusions Surgical treatment is effective for the treatment of functional PETs. Palliative resection of the tumor also can obviously improve the life quality of patients with fuctional PETs.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To develop 22 Chinese Mandarin monosyllable lists with good psychometrical equivalence. This study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of these lists when it was used in speech recognition test in normal hearing dialectal speakers.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seven cities including Dalian, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Xiamen were selected as testing centers which contain 6 typical Chinese dialectal regions including north of China, East of China, north of Fujian, south of Fujian, Guangdong and mid-south of China. At each center, 22 local normal hearing people were selected to join this study. Every participant was tested by each recognition test of all 22 lists twice in two sessions and same test order respectively. The second run of testing was carried out within 10 days-1 month since first run of testing.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was a significant correlations between scores obtained at the two sessions (r = 0.682, P < 0.01). Paired student-t test had shown that a gross score of all dialectal participants was significantly higher than that of initial test to retest (P < 0.01). The mean increment of score was (2.7 +/- 10.1)%. A significant difference of test-retest score in 7 sites was 19.8% and it was equal to 5 test items. A one way ANOVA analysis had indicated that there were statistically significant difference between the score improvement of 7 test sites (P < 0.01). Another analysis had shown that there was no significant correlation between test-retest score improvement and intra-session intervals (P = 0.947).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Mandarin monosyllabic recognition test seems to be more stable, and the present study has indicated a systematic differences in Chinese Mandarin monosyllable recognition scores between test and retest. Monosyllable recognition test is not susceptible to memory effect. Pearson's correction analysis is not suitable to evaluation for test-retest reliability.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the change of bile composition and its role in bile duct injury after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A (sham surgery), group B (OLT with 1 h cold preservation), group C (OLT with 12 h cold preservation). The arterialized rat liver transplantation model with biliary extra-drainage was used in group B and C. Animals were sacrificed at posttransplant 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 day. Routine bile chemistry and pathological assays were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Cold preservation/reperfusion injury (CPRI) could repress the secretion of bile salts and phospholipid. However, in contrast with a rapid increase of bile salt secretion, the biliary secretion of phospholipid recovered more slowly, leading to an abnormal high bile salts/phospholipid ratio early after transplantation. Further analysis suggested that the secretion of bile salts correlated strongly with biochemical and histopathological signs of bile duct injury.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CPRI can lead to great changes of graft bile composition, which plays a role in the pathogenesis of bile duct injury following liver transplantation.</p>

Objective To establish a stable orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT)model with hepatic artery reconstruction in mice.Methods Of the 66 OLT mice,33 recipient mice underwent conventional 'two cuff' technique without hepatic artery reconstruction(control group),33 with hepatic artery reconstruction using 'stent' technology(experimental group).Results The 2 week posttransplant survival rate was 84.85%(28/33)and 81.82%(27/33)in the arterialized and nonarterialized groups respectively.Serum γ-GT and ALP level of arterialized recipient were much lower than those of nonarterialized animals.The pathology of the donor liver showed that rearterialization helps to relieve bile duct injury of liver allograft.Conclusions The hepatic artery supply plays a central role in preventing bile duct injury after transplantation.This mouse OLT model may meet the need for the study of problems associated with liver transplantation.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the early operative treatment and clinical results of pelvic fractures associated with urethra disruption.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 1995 to January 2005, 25 patients suffered from pelvic fractures combined urethra disruption treated by operation were retrospectively analyzed. According to Tile's classification, 1 case was stable pelvic fracture, 17 rotational unstable fractures, and 7 rotational combined vertical unstable fractures. The complete urethra rupture were in 23 cases and incomplete in 2 cases. The operative methods included: (1) emergency open reduction and internal fixation of the pelvis combined primary urethra suturing in 2 cases, partial suturing after realignment in 4 cases, realignment in 2 cases, and urethrovaginal penetrating wound repairing in 1 case; (2) primary urethra realignment only and delayed (range, 7 to 21 days) pelvic internal fixation in 10 cases; (3) early cystostomy and delayed (range, 3 to 21 days) urethra realignment and pelvic internal fixation in 6 cases.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean follow-up time of all patients was 34 months (range from 6 to 120 months). According to Majeed's evaluation, 17 cases of pelvic injury showed excellent results, 5 good, and 3 fare. After urinary catheter removed, the mean maximal urine flow rate of 19 (76%) patients was 18.6 ml/s and the mean scar length between both disrupted ends on the film of excretion urethrography was 0.51 cm. Five (20%) cases suffered in dysuria needed urethral dilatation or further surgery. One (4%) female could not control urination who need a second-look operation. The primary suprapubic soft tissue avulsion wound infection secondary to retropubic abscess was found in 1 case, posterior urethra-stenosis in 5 cases, sexual impotence in 3 cases, and incontinence in 1 case.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The satisfactory reduction and effective fixation of the pelvic fractures is an anatomical basis for receiving "tension-free urethral anastomosis".</p>
