RESUMO
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to report the imaging findings of malignant pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) with macroscopic venous tumor thrombi. METHODS: The clinical features and imaging findings of 4 cases of malignant pancreatic SPT with venous tumor thrombi were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The tumor thrombi were located in the splenic vein (n = 3) or the main portal vein and the proximal splenic vein (n = 1). Venous thrombi were connected with the main pancreatic tumors and showed venous filling defects on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Tumor thrombi primarily consisting of necrotic component and/or hemorrhage displayed no enhancement after contrast injection (n = 3). The enhancement pattern of the tumor thrombi that consisted mainly of tumor nests was consistent with pancreatic SPT (n = 1), that is, a slight enhancement in the arterial phase and a progressive enhancement in the portal venous phase and the equilibrium phase. Venous tumor thrombi associated with hemorrhage were hyperintense on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. CONCLUSIONS: It is uncommon for pancreatic SPTs to spread by invading the venous system and forming macroscopic venous tumor thrombi.

BACKGROUND: To retrospectively review the MRI imaging features of adult choledochal cysts associated with biliary malignancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ten out of 72 cases of adult choledochal cysts were found to be associated with biliary malignancy between January 1, 2003 and April 1, 2011 in our hospital database. The following MRI findings of these ten patients were retrospectively reviewed: the type of choledochal cysts, the presence of anomalous union of the pancreaticobiliary duct (AUPBD), manifestations of biliary malignancy, and concomitant findings. RESULTS: Among the ten patients, there were five type I and five type IVA choledochal cysts. AUPBD was noted in four cases. The biliary malignancy was diagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma in seven cases (70.0%) and as gallbladder cancer in three cases. Cholangiocarcinoma manifested with irregularly thickened cyst wall (n = 2), mass with irregularly thickened cyst wall (n = 4), or multiple papillary nodules without thickened cyst wall (n = 1). Most of them showed mark enhancement (n = 4) after contrast administration. Gallbladder cancer appeared as mass with irregular thickening of the gallbladder wall with inhomogeneous enhancement. Concomitant findings included liver invasion or metastases in five cases, lymph node metastases in two cases, cholangitis and/or hepatic abscess in two cases, biliary stones in three cases. The type of choledochal cysts and the extent of malignant tumor invasion revealed by MRI were consistent with the surgical findings. CONCLUSION: Most malignancies associated with choledochal cysts are cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer. MRI is a reliable method for the detection of choledochal cysts with biliary malignant changes. MR features such as irregular thickening of the gallbladder wall or cyst wall, mass or papillary nodules are suggestive of biliary malignant changes.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy still remains a debate because of high incidence of complications. To compare the effect of duct-to-mucosa and end-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy, we retrospectively reviewed two groups of patients who underwent duct-to-mucosa or end-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction. METHODOLOGY: Over a period of 6 years, 240 consecutive patients underwent duct-to-mucosa (group A) or end-to-side (group B) pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy. RESULTS: There were no statistical differences between group A and B in regards to age, gender, preoperative serum levels of total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, pathological features, amount of intraoperative bleeding and duration of operation. The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 26.7 % (22.2% in group A, 30.3% in group B, p>0.05). Of 108 patients in group A, pancreatic fistula occurred in 10 (9.3%) patients and of 132 patients in group B, pancreatic fistula occurred in 14 (10.6%) patients (p>0.05). The overall hospital mortality was 4.2% (3.7% in group A, n=4; 4.5% in group B, n=6, p>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay (mean ±SD) for group A was 20.3±19.7 days, for group B was 23.3+14.3 days (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed no statistical difference between the two techniques in decreasing postoperative complications including pancreatic fistula or postoperative hospital stay.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies and most of the patients diagnosed with advanced CRC have unsatisfactory treatment effect and poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of CCNI2 on the development of CRC. In this sutdy, immunohistochemical staining was used to detect CCNI2 expression levels in clinical samples, meanwhile, the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted. Celigo cell counting assay was used for screening shCCNI2s. QPCR and WB were performed to verify knockdown efficiency of CCNI2. Cell proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and mechanism investigation of CCNI2 knockdown were investigated by MTT assay, colony formation assay, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and human apoptosis antibody array, respectively. Otherwise, the mouse model of CCNI2 knockdown was also constructed. The results of immunohistochemical staining and qPCR indicated that CCNI2 had a high expression level in the CRC tissues and cell lines. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis manifested that the high expression of CCNI2 suggested poor prognosis. The expression of CCNI2 was significantly reduced by CCNI2-siRNAs, and the downregulated expression level of CCNI2 inhibited CRC cell proliferation and colony formation, arrested cell cycle in G2 phase, as well as promoted cell apoptosis. The various indexes of solid tumor in mice models indicated that CCNI2 knockdown could suppress the growth of CRC tumor. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the above results, CCNI2 was contributed to the progression of CRC and could serve as a prognostic marker for CRC.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of lymph nodes detection on the pathological staging in rectal cancer specimens. METHODS: From January 2007 to June 2008, 75 patients with rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision were randomly divided into two groups: conventional group (n = 39), in which lymph nodes were detected by sight and palpation; fat clearance group (n = 36), in which lymph nodes were harvested after the specimens immersed in a fat clearance solution for 24 hours. The lymph node number harvested was compared between the two groups, and metastasis of the lymph nodes and its impact on the pathologic staging was analyzed in the two groups. RESULTS: A total of 75 patients (42 male and 33 female, the average age was 53.2 years) were enrolled in this study. In the conventional group, a mean of 14.4 lymph nodes (range, 8 - 27) was detected, and was significantly less than that in fat clearance group (mean 36.2, range, 18 - 62) (t = 5.800, P < 0.05). The tumor invasion was classified as T1 in 4 cases and 5 cases, T2 in 9 cases and 6 cases, T3 in 24 cases and 22 cases and T4 in 2 cases and 3 cases in conventional group and fat clearance group, respectively. No significant difference was found in T classification between the two groups (Z = 0.160, P = 0.850). The mean number of metastatic lymph nodes harvested in conventional group was 1.5, and it was 3.2 in the fat clearance group (Z = 3.500, P < 0.05). According to the regional lymph nodes, patients classified as N0, N1 and N2 were 20, 12, 7 cases in conventional group, and were 9, 14, 13 cases in the fat clearance group, respectively; and there was significant difference between the two groups (Z = 2.410, P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS: The variation of the number of harvested lymph nodes in surgical specimens from rectal cancer after total mesorectal excision is great. The metastasis of mesorectal lymph nodes is not only associated with the tumor staging, but also related to the number of harvested lymph nodes. It is questionable that 12 lymph nodes is currently seen as enough to evaluate the pathologic staging for rectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the operation skills and evaluate the effects of open total extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy for inguinal hernia via a ventral midline incision. METHODS: From June 2008 to December 2009, 106 patients with inguinal hernia received open total extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy via a ventral midline incision, the clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the patients, 86 cases were male, 20 were female, the mean age was 60.2 years (range, 21 - 86 years). The mean operation time was (32.6 ± 10.5) minutes. The postoperative hospital stay was (2.3 ± 0.7) days. Intra-operative peritoneal perforation occurred in 2 cases. Four cases experienced urine retention and seroma happened in 2 cases, 6 cases suffered early surgical-site pain, and all of the complications were cured with conservative treatment. Three cases developed scrotal hydrocele. No neuralgia or incisional infection occurred in this group. During a 3- to 22-months follow-up period (mean, 10.2 months), no patient complained of discomfort or foreign body sensation in the inguinal area. Two cases recurred 2 and 11 months after the surgery, respectively; the recurrence rate was 1.9%, the two patients healed after reoperation. CONCLUSIONS: Open total extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy operation via a ventral midline incision is a safe, effective and convenient technique for inguinal hernia with few postoperative complications. This method is worth popularizing.

PURPOSE: To construct a new biomaterial-small intestinal submucosa coated with gelatin hydrogel incorporating basic fibroblast growth factor, and to evaluate the new biomaterials for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. METHODS: Thirty six Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the animal experiments and randomly divided into three groups. The new biomaterial was constructed by combining small intestinal submucosa with gelatin hydrogel for basic fibroblast growth factor release. Abdominal wall defects were created in rats, and repaired using the new biomaterials (group B), compared with small intestinal submucosa (group S) and ULTRAPROTM mesh (group P). Six rats in each group were sacrificed at three and eight weeks postoperatively to examine the gross effects, inflammatory responses, collagen deposition and neovascularization. RESULTS: After implantation, mild adhesion was caused in groups B and S. Group B promoted more neovascularization than group S at three weeks after implantation, and induced significantly more amount of collagen deposition and better collagen organization than groups S and P at eight weeks after implantation. CONCLUSION: Small intestinal submucosa coated with gelatin hydrogel incorporating basic fibroblast growth factor could promote better regeneration and remodeling of host tissues for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects.

The present study investigated bladder and urogenital fatty fascial compartment (UFFC) variations during bladder filling in an attempt to identify other possible causes of hernia repair-related bladder injury besides mesh migration. The study included 30 patients scheduled for abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan for nonhernia diseases. Sixty-four-slice CT scan was performed immediately after urination and no more than 30 minutes later. Three-dimensional images were constructed by two independent experienced readers. The empty bladder was triangular in shape, narrow in the front and broad in the rear. Its vertex deviated from midline of the abdominal wall in 11 cases (36.7%).With normal filling, it appeared as an irregular oval shape. Only two cases (6.7%) of empty bladder extended inside Hesselbach's triangle. However, this area was occupied to some extent in all cases during bladder filling (P = 0.003). The UFFC formed a molar-like structure in cross-section. In three dimensions, it appeared as an inverted V-shaped structure from the front. In the lateral view it appeared as a spoon that contained the bladder. UFFC volume increased from 61.85 ± 6.23 to 139.23 ± 5.29 cm(3) with bladder filling (P < 0.0001). The UFFC can be clearly identified by CT scanning or three-dimensional reconstruction. The considerable spatial variation of the UFFC and movement and deformation of the mesh within this area may be related to bladder injury.

AIM: To retrospectively analyze the imaging features of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in children on dynamic contrast-enhanced multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) images. METHODS: From September 1999 to April 2012, a total of 218 cases of hepatic FNH were confirmed by either surgical resection or biopsy in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the Cancer center of Sun Yat-sen University, including 12 cases (5.5%) of FNH in children (age ≤ 18 years old). All the 12 pediatric patients underwent MSCT. We retrospectively analyzed the imaging features of FNH lesions, including the number, location, size, margin, density of FNH demonstrated on pre-contrast and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning, central scar, fibrous septa, pseudocapsule, the morphology of the feeding arteries and the presence of draining vessels (portal vein or hepatic vein). RESULTS: All the 12 pediatric cases of FNH had solitary lesion. The maximum diameter of the lesions was 4.0-12.9 cm, with an average diameter of 5.5 ± 2.5 cm. The majority of the FNH lesions (10/12, 83.3%) had well-defined margins. Central scar (10/12, 83.3%) and fibrous septa (11/12, 91.7%) were commonly found in children with FNH. Central scar was either isodense (n = 7) or hypodense (n = 3) on pre-contrast CT images and showed progressive enhancement in 8 cases in the equilibrium phase. Fibrous septa were linear hypodense areas in the arterial phase and isodense in the portal and equilibrium phases. Pseudocapsule was very rare (1/12, 8.3%) in pediatric FNH. With the exception of central scars and fibrous septa within the lesions, all 12 cases of pediatric FNH were homogeneously enhanced on the contrast-enhanced CT images, significantly hyperdense in the arterial phase (12/12, 100.0%), and isodense in the portal venous phase (7/12, 58.3%) and equilibrium phase (11/12, 91.7%). Central feeding arteries inside the tumors were observed on CTA images for all 12 cases of FNH, whereas no neovascularization of malignant tumors was noted. In 9 cases (75.0%), there was a spoke-wheel shaped centrifugal blood supply inside the tumors. The draining hepatic vein was detected in 8 cases of pediatric FNH. However, the draining vessels in the other 4 cases could not be detected. No associated hepatic adenoma or hemangioma was observed in the livers of the 12 pediatric cases. CONCLUSION: The characteristic imaging appearances of MSCT and CTA may reflect the pathological and hemodynamic features of pediatric FNH. Dynamic multi-phase MSCT and CTA imaging is an effective method for diagnosing FNH in children.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the use of fat clearance technique improves the accuracy of staging for colon cancer. METHODS: Between June 2007 and December 2008, surgical specimens of 91 patients with colon cancer were procured. Between June 2007 and January 2008, routine technique for lymph node harvest including visualization and tactile sensation was used in 45 patients (conventional group), while lymph nodes of 46 patients between February 2008 and December 2008 were examined using fat clearance technique(fat clearance group). RESULTS: The mean of lymph nodes harvested was 32.7 using fat clearance technique, significantly higher than that(15.3) of the conventional group(P<0.01). The mean positive lymph nodes was 2.7 and 1.8 in the two groups, respectively, with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). There were more stage III( colon cancer in the postoperative staging than that in the preoperative staging using fat clearance technique (31 vs.19, P<0.05), while there was no difference in stage III( colon cancer between postoperative staging and preoperative staging using conventional method (21 vs.19, P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Fat clearance technique significantly increases number of lymph node retrieval and positive nodes, therefore the accuracy of postoperative staging is improved.

AIM: To investigate the clinicopathologic features of bile duct tumor thrombus (BDTT) occurrence after treatment of primary small hepatocellular carcinoma (sHCC). METHODS: A total of 423 patients with primary sHCC admitted to our hospital underwent surgical resection or local ablation. During follow-up, only six patients were hospitalized due to obstructive jaundice, which occurred 5-76 mo after initial treatment. The clinicopathologic features of these six patients were reviewed. RESULTS: Six patients underwent hepatic resection (n = 5) or radio-frequency ablation (n = 1) due to primary sHCC. Five cases had an R1 resection margin, and one case had an ablative margin less than 5.0 mm. No vascular infiltration, microsatellites or bile duct/canaliculus affection was noted in the initial resected specimens. During the follow-up, imaging studies revealed a macroscopic BDTT extending to the common bile duct in all six patients. Four patients had a concomitant intrahepatic recurrent tumor. Surgical re-resection of intrahepatic recurrent tumors and removal of BDTTs (n = 4), BDTT removal through choledochotomy (n = 1), and conservative treatment (n = 1) was performed. Microscopic portal vein invasion was noted in three of the four resected specimens. All six patients died, with a mean survival of 11 mo after BDTT removal or conservative treatment. CONCLUSION: BDTT occurrence is a rare, special recurrent pattern of primary sHCC. Patients with BDTTs extending to the common bile duct usually have an unfavorable prognosis even following aggressive surgery. Insufficient resection or ablative margins against primary sHCC may be a risk factor for BDTT development.

OBJECTIVE: To compare fat clearance and fat lucidification in the examination of rectal cancer specimen, and to study the distribution pattern of lymph nodes in rectal cancer specimen. METHOD: Between January 2007 and December 2007, sixty-four cases undergone total mesorectal excision were divided into two groups. The fat clearance technique was used to examine the specimens in one group, while fat lucidification was used in the other. The total number and the number of metastatic lymph nodes between two groups were compared, as well as the time for processing specimens and that for dissecting the lymph nodes. RESULTS: An average of 37.4 lymph nodes were detected with fat clearance, in which 3.3 lymph nodes were metastatic; while an average of 36.2 nodes were detected with fat lucidification, in which 3.2 were metastatic. There were no significant differences in either the total number or the number of metastatic lymph nodes. The time for processing specimens in the fat lucidification group was 28 hours, while in the fat clearance group was 72 hours. The time for specimen processing was significantly shorter in the fat lucidification group (P<0.05). The mean time for dissecting lymph nodes in the fat clearance group was 2.1 hours, while in the fat lucidification group was 2.0 hours, the difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: When processing rectal cancer specimens with the fat lucidification technique can result in the similar number of lymph nodes compared to the fat clearance technique, with significantly shorter specimen processing time. The spatial position of the lymph nodes is better preserved using the fat lucidification technique, which may help study the distribution pattern of the normal and metastatic lymph nodes.

BACKGROUND: The biofragmentable anastomosis ring (BAR) is a simple alternative device to create intestinal anastomosis. Our study was designed to evaluate the clinical value of BAR in intestinal anastomosis. METHODS: A total of 167 patients performed intestinal anastomosis from January 2002 to February 2006 were randomized to BAR group (n = 82) and manual suture group (n = 85) as control. They were equally allocated to the two groups regarding sex, age, site of anastomosis, emergent or elective surgery and contaminant diseases. The results of postoperative complications and recovery were recorded in each group. RESULTS: Eighty-seven intraperitoneal BAR anastomoses were completed in 82 patients. Two and one postoperative deaths were recorded in BAR and suture group, respectively, no deaths were directly related to anastomotic technique. In suture group, anastomotic leakage and early bleeding both occurred in two patients respectively, no anastomotic bleeding occurred in BAR group, one patient in BAR group developed enterocutaneous fistulae. Perioperative bleeding, operation time and length of hospitalization were similar in two groups (P > 0.05). Time for return of bowel function was significantly shortened in BAR group than that in suture group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The BAR appears to be a standard, easy, safe and effective alternative either in elective or emergent intraperitoneal intestinal anastomotic surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate and compare the clinical effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and Ligasure technique (LT) for the treatment of severe hemorrhoids. METHODS: Patients with prolapsed hemorrhoids were randomly divided into two groups treated with PPH (n=44) and LT (n=42). The outcomes were evaluated postoperatively (i.e., operation time, length of hospital stay, pain intensity scoring, relapse of prolapse, bleeding and cost). RESULTS: (1)The average operating time for patients treated by LT was (12.0+/- 4.1) min, while for those by PPH was(19.0+/- 6.4)min (P < 0.05). (2)The average scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) for PPH and LT patients were 3.1 points (2 approximately 6) and 5.4 points (3~8) respectively(P < 0.05). (3)The average costs for LT group and PPH group were (4838+/- 301) yuan and (7796+/- 492) yuan respectively (P < 0.05). (4)In PPH group, 4 patients were complicated with hemorrhage (over 50 ml) and 1 patients with relapse, while there were no complications occurred in LT group. (5)Six months after operation, the self scores of postoperative pain,defecation and total satisfaction were 95.0%, 100% and 100% in PPH group, and 87.2%, 97.4% and 97.4% in LT group respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with PPH, LT has the advantages of shorter operation time, less hemorrhage and expense, but more postoperative pain. Both LT and PPH are effective procedures for severe hemorrhoids.
