RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of the " step-up approach" versus the " step-jump approach" in treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Method:The clinical data of IPN patients who underwent step-up strategy or step-jump strategy treatment at the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from December 2018 to November 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Propensity score matching (PSM) was done based on the nearest neighbor matching method (1: 1 ratio). After matching the baseline data (the caliper value was 0.01), a total of 62 patients with IPN were included, including 41 males and 21 females, aged (41.1±13.1) years old. Patients who were treated with the step-up strategy were included in the step-up group, while patients who were treated with the step-jump strategy were included in the step-jump group. There were 31 patients in each group after PSM, and the treatment effect of the two groups were compared.Results:Of the 62 patients with IPN, 43 received surgical intervention, and 19 were managed successfully using symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment or percutaneous catheter drainage. The total hospitalization cost of patients in the step-jump group was significantly higher than that in the step-up group [122 000 (73 000, 179 000) yuan vs. 88 000 (46 000, 144 000) yuan, P=0.034]. The overall cure rate of IPN patients in the step-jump group was 93.5%(29/31). The 2 patients who died had type Ⅲ IPN. In the IPN patients in the step-up group were all cured, and the overall cure rate was 100%(31/31), with no death. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the rates of death, postoperative complications, residual infection, debridement ≥2 times, and positive bacterial culture in blood or drainage fluid (all P>0.05). A total of 19.4% (12/62) patients had postoperative complications, including 4 patients with abdominal bleeding, 3 patients with new organ dysfunction, 2 patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, 2 patients with gastrointestinal fistula, and 1 patient with venous thrombosis in both lower limbs. Conclusion:Both the step-up treatment strategy and the step-jump treatment strategy were safe and effective for treatment of IPN patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the predictive value of PCT for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) in advance.Methods Clinical data of 62 consecutive patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) and 19 consecutive patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP) between Apr 2016 and Apr 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Patients with PD and DP were divided into pancreatic fistula group (12 cases,3 cases),and non-pancreatic fistula group (50 cases,16 case).The PCT,CRP and WBC count levels of preoperative and postoperative day 1,3,5 (POD1,POD3,POD5) were compared between two groups.The data were subjected to independent sample t-test,Mann-Whitney rank sum test,x2 test or Fisher exact test.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and area under curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the cutoff value,sensitivity and specificity.Results For PD and DP patients,there were no significant difference on age,gender,BMI,diabetes,obstructive jaundice,preoperative laboratory test,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,tumor type between the two groups,which were comparable.For PD patients,postoperative hyperglycemia rate,postoperative ICU admission rate and total hospital stay of pancreatic fistula group were significantly higher than those of non-pancreatic fistula group (P =0.011,P =0.023,P <0.001).The PCT levels of POD1,POD3 and POD5 of pancreatic fistula group were significantly higher than those of non-pancreatic fistula group (P < 0.001,P =0.010,P =0.002).PCT of POD1 had the highest sensitivity (100%) and specificity (80%) and PCT >0.76 μg/L was the risk factor for POPF.For DP patients,the PCT levels of POD1,POD3 and POD5 had the same predictive value for pancreatic fistula.Conclusion PCT has early predictive value for POPF of PD patients.

RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the prognostic factors of multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infection in patients with infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN).@*Methods@#A retrospective study was performed to assess the MDRO in IPN patients. The clinical data of 104 IPN patients admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from June 2013 to January 2019 were analyzed. Fifty-six patients were allocated in the MDRO group and 48 patients in the non-MDRO group depended on drug sensitivity test. There were 37 males and 19 females in the MDRO group with age of 40 (23) years. The duration time was 3(5) days between onset and admission. In the non-MDRO group, 34 males and 14 females were included with age of (42±14) years. The duration time was 3(4) days between onset and admission. Normally distributed quantitative variables was represented by ±s, non-normally distributed quantitative variables was represented by M(QR). Wilcoxon rank-sum test and χ2 test were used to analyze the data. Univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analytic model were used to figure out the risk factors associated with MDRO infection.@*Results@#The mean duration of hospital stay was 29.5(31.8) days and hospitalization expenses were CNY 166 991(270 692), which were much higher than those in non-MDRO group (16.5(15.7) days, CNY 56 789(62 354)) (W=1 889, 2 019, both P<0.01). Gram-negative isolates(67.2%, 80/119) were commonly detected in IPN patients.Acinetobacter baumannii was the most common MDRO(27.0%,20/74). Initial use of carbapenem(OR=2.22, 95%CI: 1.02-4.96, P=0.047) and open necrosectomy(OR=10.00, 95%CI: 3.14-44.77, P<0.01) were the potential risk factors for MDRO-induced infections in IPN. Furthermore, the Logistic regression analysis revealed that open necrosectomy was the independent variable for MDRO infections(OR=9.42, 95%CI: 2.92-42.42, P<0.01).@*Conclusion@#Open necrosectomy is the independent risk factor for the infection of MDRO.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To examine the association of hyperglycemia and postoperative complications in non-diabetic patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).@*Methods@#The clinical data of 209 non-diabetic patients who underwent PD from January 2012 to June 2018 at Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnostic criteria of postoperative hyperglycemia, the patients were divided into postoperative hyperglycemia group (167 cases, 79.9%) and control group(42 cases, 20.1%). The propensity score matching(PSM) method was used to eliminate the difference between groups(caliper value=0.02; 38 cases in control group including 30 males and 8 females with age of 59.0 years; 38 cases in postoperative hyperglycemia group including 32 males and 6 females with age of 61.0 years; 37 cases of pancreatic head carcinoma, 30 cases of periampullary carcinoma and 9 cases of benign diseases). A comparative analysis was applied for preoperative data, surgical related indicators and postoperative complication rates.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to calculate the area under the curve(AUC) of blood glucose values on postoperative day 1,3 and 5(POD1, POD3, POD5), to determine the high-risk blood glucose cutoff value of complications and to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of postoperative complications.@*Results@#Univariate analysis showed that the differences in gender, body mass index, preoperative blood glucose, and serum urea nitrogen levels were statistically significant before PSM.There was no significant difference in the preoperative data between the two groups after PSM. Compared with the control group, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (31.6% vs. 5.3%), abdominal infection(29.0% vs. 7.9%) and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications(31.6% vs.7.9%) were statistically different(χ2=7.092, P=0.008; χ2=4.290, P=0.038; χ2=5.316, P=0.021), respectively. According to the AUC on POD3, the blood glucose value≥8.860 mmol/L was an independent risk factor for pancreatic fistula with sensitivity of 58.3% and specificity of 76.9%, the blood glucose value ≥9.130 mmol/L was an independent risk factor for abdominal infection with sensitivity of 54.5% and specificity of 81.5% and the blood glucose value ≥7.685 mmol/L was independent risk factor of Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴcomplications with sensitivity of 75.0% and specificity of 57.7%.@*Conclusions@#Postoperative hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients is associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula, abdominal infection, and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications.According to the early postoperative blood glucose value, the occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula, abdominal infection and Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications can be effectively predicted.

Objective To study the delayed gastric emptying for patients underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and standard Whipple procedure.Methods Clinical data of 401 consecutive patients who underwent standard Whipple procedure/pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2012 and July 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Using the independent-samples t test,x2 test or Fisher's exact test,Mann-Whitney test and other statistical methods to compare the postoperative complications between pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and standard Whipple procedure group.Results Compare with standard Whipple procedure group,delayed gastric emptying after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy occurred in 8 of 35 patients (22.9%),obviously higher than it after standard Whipple procedure occurred in 40 of 366 patients (10.9%) (P =0.038).Other postoperative complications were not significantly different (P ≥ 0.05).Each level of delayed gastric emptying after pyloruspreserving pancreaticoduodenectomy and standard Whipple procedure were not significantly different (P ≥ 0.05),but the average recovery time of delayed gastric emptying after pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (12.13 ± 3.09) d was obviously shorter than it after standard Whipple procedure (17.28 ± 9.63) d (P =0.009).Conclusions Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy increases the risk of delayed gastric emptying,but it does not increase severity delayed gastric emnptying by each level.The recovery time of delayed gastric after pyloruspreserving pancreaticoduodenectomy is shorter.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To study the prognostic factors of delayed gastric emptying(DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD) and construct a prognostic predictive model for clinical application.@*Methods@#Clinic data of 401 consecutive patients who underwent PD between January 2012 and July 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The patients were randomly selected to modeling group(n=299) and validation group(n=102) at a ratio of 3∶1. The data of modeling group were subjected to univariate and multivariate analysis for prognostic factors and to construct a prognostic predictive model of DGE after PD. The data of validation group were applied to test the prognostic predictive model.@*Results@#DGE after PD occurred in 35 of 299 patients(11.7%) in the modeling group. The multivariate analysis of the modeling group showed that upper abdominal operation history(χ2=6.533, P=0.011), diabetes mellitus(χ2=17.872, P=0.000), preoperative hemoglobin <90 g/L(χ2=14.608, P=0.000) and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(PPPD)(χ2=8.811, P=0.003) were associated with DGE after PD independently. A prognostic predictive model of DGE after PD was constructed based on these factors and successfully tested. The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was 0.761(95%CI: 0.666-0.856) of the modeling group and 0.750(95% CI: 0.577-0.923) of the validation group.@*Conclusions@#Upper abdominal operation history, diabetes mellitus, preoperative hemoglobin<90 g/L and PPPD are associated with DGE after PD independently. The preoperative assessment of a patient′s prognostic for DGE after PD is feasible. The model is a valid tool to take precautions against DGE after PD.

Objective To investigate the effects and value of enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) application in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent liver resection.Methods One hundred and seventy-two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent liver resection in the first affiliated hospital of Harbin medical university from June 2013 to June 2015,ERAS group (92 cases) and control group (80 cases) were retrospectively studied.Laboratory indicators (ALT,AST,TBIL,ALB,PA,lymphocyte count),postoperative complications,postoperative hospitalization days and total hospitalization expenses were compared between two groups.Results For postoperative liver functional indicators (ALT,AST,TBIL),ERAS group Day 1 and Day 7 were respectively (216.3±141.7) U/Land (70.1 ±29.4) U/L,(184.0±155.8) U/Land (39.1 ±17.5) U/L,(22.4± 8.7) μmol/L and (20.0 ± 7.5) μmol/L,control group were respectively (304.5 ± 226.2) U/L and (83.9 ± 48.5) U/L,(294.1 273.0) U/L and (49.2 ±33.8) U/L,(26.9 ±15.6) μmol/L and (24.6 ± 10.8) μmol/L,the difference between two groups was statistically significant (F =9.33,9.84,9.26,P < 0.05).For postoperative nutritional indicators (ALB,PA),ERAS group Day 7 were respectively (35.3 ± 4.4) g/Land (136.3 ±34.1) mg/L,control group were respectively (33.6 ±4.2) g/L and (108.0 ± 32.5) mg/L,the difference was statistically significant (F =4.97,4.54,P < 0.05).For postoperative immune indicators (lymphocyte count),ERAS group Day 1 and Day 7 were respectively (0.9 ±0.3) × 109/L and (1.5 ± O.5) × 109/L,control group were respectively (0.7 ± 0.3) × 109/L and (1.3 ± 0.5) × 109/L,the difference was statistically significant (F =7.37,P < 0.05).For postoperative complications (hemorrhage,bile fistula,hepatic dysfunction,infection) were no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05),however,ascites had statistically significant difference (x2 =7.609,P < 0.05).Off bed time,postoperative exhaust time,postoperative hospitalization time and total hospitalization expense of ERAS group were respectively (1.7 ± 0.5) days,(2.3 ± 0.6) days,(9.8 ± 2.3) days,(4.6 ± O.9) × 104 RMB,control group were respectively (3.0 ± 0.7) days,(3.4 ± 0.8) days,(17.6 ± 5.8) days,(6.3 ± 2.1) × 104 RMB,the difference was statistically significant (t =13.032,10.937,11.371,7.118,P < 0.05).Conclusions Application of ERAS in patients with HCC underwent liver resection is safe and effective.ERAS effectively reduce stress reaction of patients,promote the recovery of liver function,improve the postoperative immune and nutrition status,shorter postoperative hospitalization time,and reduce the total cost of hospitalization.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the function of early persistent vacuum suction drainage in patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods From Jul.2010 to Jun.2013,the clinical data of 286 patients undergoing PD were retrospectively evaluated.87 patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula were screened and then divided into early persistent vacuum suction drainage group (the observation group) and conventional drainage group (the control group) according to postoperative drainage manners.We statistically analyzed the two groups in terms of general information,blood loss,operative time,medical expenses,hospital stay,mortality and morbidity of complications such as pancreatic fistula.Results There were 40 patients screened into the observation group and 47 patients into the control group.No difference was found between the observation group and the control group in basic clinical data or surgical data.There was no statistical difference between the two groups in delayed gastric emptying,bile leakage,bleeding or the incidence of pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal infection.The incidence of pancreatic fistula with grade B and C in the observation group was statistically lower than that of the control group(12.5% vs 34.0%,P<0.05).The incidence of intraabdominal infection in observation group was statistically lower than those in the control group (20.0% vs 40.4%,P<0.05).The incidence of total complications in observation group was statistically lower than that in the control group (60.0% vs 83.0%,P<0.05),but no difference was found between the observation group and control group in morality.Early persistent vacuum suction drainage could reduce hospital stay((21.93±7.14) days vs (28.70±12.45) days,P<0.05) and clinical expense ((64.8±12.0) thousands vs (75.2± 14.6) thousands,P<0.05) in patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula after PD.Conclusions Early persistent vacuum suction drainage can reduce the rate of grade B and C pancreatic fistula in patients with high risk of pancreatic fistula undergoing PD.The manner can also reduce the incidence of intra-abdominal infection,total complications and cost of hospital stay.This manner can accelerate postoperative recovery of patients undergoing PD and is worth of widely used.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate enteral or parenteral nutrition therapy effects in the aspects of patients' postoperative nutrition status,incidence of complications and health economics indicators of pancreatic head carcinoma or periampullary carcinoma patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of patients underwent PD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2010 to August 2015 were collected.According to different postoperative nutrition therapy,patients were divided into parenteral followed enteral nutrition group (treatment group) and parenteral nutrition group (control group).Observed indicators such as postoperative nutrition status,liver and kidney function,incidence of complications,length and total cost of hospitalization were assessed.Results This study enrolled 207 cases in treatment group and 92 cases in control group.There was no significant difference in preoperative NRS scores,surgical procedures,pathology and other preoperative clinical indicators (P > 0.05).Postoperative bilirubin reduction(△TB1.10) in treatment group versus control group had significant difference (P < 0.05).Compared with postoperative Day 1,the prealbumin level of Day 7 and Day 10 in treatment group recovered rapidly than control group(△PA7.1,△PA10-1),however the differernce was not significant (P > 0.05).Postoperative complications (pancreatic fistula,post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage,inna-abdominal infection,delayed gastric emptying) in treatment group and control group had no significant difference (P > 0.05).The average and median hospitalization in treatment group [(28 ± 11) d,26 d] versus control group [(32 ± 18) d,29 d] had significant difference (P < 0.05).The total cost of hospitalization in treatment group and control group were not significantly different(P > 0.05).Conclusions This study indicated that postoperative parenteral followed enteral nutrition therapy could significantly enhance the recovery of liver function,shorten the length of hospitalization in patients after PD.Moreover,parenteral followed enteral nutrition therapy did not significantly increase the postoperative complications.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the impact of blood transfusion on postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The medical data of 356 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy from January 2005 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.242 patients in the transfusion group received blood transfusion while the remaining patients in the non transfusion group received no blood transfusion.Results The rates of pancreatic fistula and pulmonary infection,mean operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay were 17.8%,16.5%,6.4 h,920.0 ml and 29.1 d in the transfusion group compared with 8.8%,6.1%,5.4 h,150.0 ml and 25.9 d in the non-transfusion group,respectively (P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the rates of biliary fistula,gastrointestinal and intraabdominal bleeding,delayed gastric emptying and death.Conclusions Patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy in the non-transfusion group had significantly lower rates of pancreatic fistula and pulmonary infection,shorter operative time and hospital stay,and less intraoperative blood loss.This study suggested that a reduction in intraoperative blood loss by advanced instruments and techniques,with operations carried out by experienced pancreatic surgeons in specialized pancreatic center,could result in a significantly lower postoperative complication rate.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate multiple minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods The clinical data of 93 patients with SAP who received minimally invasive treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2005 to July 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD),endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP),endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST),endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) and laparoscopy were applied according to the condition of the patients.The efficacies of different treatment methods were evaluated.Results On the basis of comprehensive treatment,32 patients received 1 kind of minimally invasive treatment,41 patients received 2 kinds of minimally invasive treatment,14 patients received 3 kinds of minimally invasive treatment and 6 patients received 4 kinds of minimally invasive treatment.Sixty-nine patients received ultrasoundguided PCD; 28 patients received ERCP,EST and (or) ENBD; 29 patients received laparoscopy; 19 patients received treatments with stepped approach; 4 patients were complicated with abdominal bleeding,and received interventional treatment.The mean time of abdominal pain relief and duration of hospital stay were (37 ± 18)hours and (31 ±21 )days,respectively.The abdominal infection rate,laparotomy transfer rate,curative rate and mortality rate were62%(58/93),4%(4/93),91% (85/93) and 9% (8/93),respectively.Conclusion Multiple minimally invasive techniques combined with individualized treatment may significantly improve the curative rate of SAP.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the clinical factors predicting long-term survival after curative resection of pancreatic head carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreatic head who underwent curative resection of carcinoma of pancreatic head from 1996 to 2004 were collected and were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 with Cox Proportional Hazards Model. Results 58 patients, including 30 male and 28 female patients, were involved in this study. Pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed in 14 cases and extended resections were performed in 44 cases. The overall 1, 3, 5 year survival rates was 46.6%, 29.3% and 8.6%, respeclively. The 1,3, 5 year survival rates of pancreatoduodenectomy with extended regional lymphadenectomy was 43.1%, 22.7% and 6.8%, respectively. UICC staging, peri-pancreatic nerve invasion and blood infusion had significant effects on the prognosis after curative resection. Conclusions The long-term prognosis after curative resection of pancreatoduodenectomy was still dismal. Much importance should be paid to early diagnosis and comprehensive management for pancreatic head cancer.
