From the March of 1993 to the May of 1994, we had performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for 200 patients of the age ranged 19-77 years. In these cases, 12 had previous abdominal surgery; 3 cases had hepatic cysts; 11 cases had stones in the neck of gall bladders. We had successfully performed LC for 190 cases (95%). But we also had some unsuccesful experiences, including accidental injury to the stomach or duodenum, and bleeding from cystic arteris of the gallbladder. Operation (LC) was abandoned in one patient because of severe cardiac arrhyshmia developed during operation, and billiary tract injury was found postoperatively in three patients with no postoperative death. The operative indications and technical problems of LC are discussed in detail and measures in avoiding injury to billiary or GI tract from LC are introduced.
Objective To explore the feasibility， operation method， and clinical application value of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy （TUSP-LC） in treatment for children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with benign gallbladder diseases from June 2009 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into TUSP-LC group （n=41） and convention three-port LC （CTP-LC group， n=23）. The operative time， intraoperative blood loss， conversion to CTP-LC or laparotomy， operative complications， and hospital stay were recorded. The pains were registered at 3，6，12，24，48， and 72h postoperatively using visual analog scale （VAS）. The patients were given satisfaction questionnaires with surgery at 6 time points （1 week， 2 weeks， 1 month， 3 months， 6 months， 12 months） during a 12 months follow-up. Results A total of 64 pediatric LCs were performed successfully， no patients were converted to laparotomy. Except for one case of incision infection in the CTP-LC group 〔4.35%（1/23）〕 and one case of incision infection and one case of ecchymoma in the TUSP-LC group 〔4.88% （2/41）〕， no other complications such as bile duct injury， bile leakage， and incision hernia happened， the total complication rate was not significant difference in two groups （P＞0.05）. The operative time 〔（47.54±18.71） min versus（45.33±10.58） min〕， intraoperative blood loss 〔（18.56±13.34） ml versus （17.28±12.53） ml〕， and hospital stay 〔（1.67±0.36） d versus （1.81±0.38） d〕were not significant differences in two groups （P＞0.05）. The VAS score was not statisticly significant within 24h in two groups （P＞0.05）， but which in the TUSP-LC group was significantly lower than that in the CTP-LC group after 24h postoperatively （P＜0.05）. During a 12 months follow-up， the score of satisfaction in the TUSP-LC group was significantly higher than that in the CTP-LC group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions TUSP-LC is a safe and feasible method in the children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. It can be performed with the same technical exposure and outcomes as multi-port laparoscopy， with the added benefit of relieving postoperative pain and little no scarring.
Objective To manufacture fish swim bladder membrane material by crosslinking techniques, and to explore its physical and chemical properties and cytotoxicity. Methods After decellularization, the swim bladders were randomly divided into two groups. The swim bladders were treated with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) crosslinking method, surface hole making, and freeze-drying in crosslinking group, and only surface hole making and freeze-drying in non-crosslinking group. The physical and chemical properties of the materials were observed, including microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties (tensile strength and breaking elongation) by universal tensile machine, hydrophilicity by contact angle measuring instrument, porosity by ethanol infiltration method, degradation performance in vitro and thermal stability test, and the components of materials by infrared spectrum analysis. Mouse fibroblasts (L929) were cultured with the extracts of two groups of materials in order to determine the cytotoxicity of materials by using cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method. Results The porous structure and rough surface of materials were observed by SEM. Compared with the non-crosslinking group, the tensile stress of the crosslinking group was higher, the breaking elongation was lower, and the porosity increased, showing significant differences (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in contact angle between the two groups (P>0.05). The degradation was faster within the first 7 days and then tended to be smooth in the two groups. But the degradation rates of crosslinking group were significantly lower than those of non-crosslinking group (P<0.05). Differential scanning calorimeter showed that the denaturation temperature of the crosslinking group was (75.2±1.3)℃, which was significantly higher than that of the non-crosslinking group [(68.5±0.4)℃] (t=4.586, P=0.002). Compared with the non-crosslinking group, the crosslinking group produced new C=O bond and N-H bond, and no other new groups were introduced into the cross-linking group. CCK-8 method showed that the absorbance values of the crosslinking group and the non-crosslinking group were not significant when compared with the positive control group (P>0.05). Conclusion The fish swim bladder membrane obtained by crosslinking treatment with EDC/NHS method has good physical and chemical properties, no cytotoxicity, and is expected to be used as a dura mater repair material.
ObjectiveTo evaluate and analyze the clinical effect of ambulatory surgery applied to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).MethodsThe patients who underwent LC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2017 to February 2019 were collected, then were assigned to ambulatory surgery applied to LC group (ALC group) and conventional LC group (CLC group) according to the admission process mode. The patients in the ALC group received LC in the ambulatory ward and the patients in the CLC group received LC in the conventional ward. The preoperative waiting time, postoperative gastrointestinal recovery time, postoperative 6 h pain score, total hospitalization time, total hospitalization cost, patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 433 patients underwent LC were included in this study, including 176 patients in the ALC group and 257 patients in the CLC group. There were no significant differences in the age, gender, type of gallbladder diseases, etc. between the two groups (P>0.05) except body mass index (P<0.05). There was no perioperative death in the two groups. One patient converted to laparotomy in the CLC group. Compared with the CLC group, the preoperative waiting time, postoperative gastrointestinal recovery time, and the total hospitalization time were shorter, the postoperative pain score was lower, the total hospitalization cost was less, and the satisfaction rate of patients was higher in the ALC group (P<0.05). There was 1 case of incision infection and 1 case of ascites in the operation area in the ALC group and CLC group, 1 case of fever in the ALC group and 3 cases of fever in the CLC group, respectively. There was no difference in the overall incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). During the follow-up of 6 to 26 months, there was no readmission in both groups.ConclusionPatients who undergone LC based on ambulatory surgery mode recover quickly, and hospitalization cost is less, satisfaction rate is higher.
Objective To explore the value of expression of carcinomaassociated antigens in early diagnosis and predicting prognosis in gallbladder carcinoma. MethodsThe expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA50), Ecadherin (ECD) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in 10 cases of cholecystitis, 10 cases of gallbladder adenomas and 50 cases of gallbladder carcinomas were detected by immunohistochemistry. ResultsThe positive rate of CEA, CA50 and PCNA labeling index (LI) in gallbladder carcinomas were significantly higher than that of gallbladder adenomas and cholecystitis (P＜0.05 and P＜0.01). The positive rate of ECD in gallbladder carcinomas, especially with metastasis, was significantly lower than that of gallbladder adenomas and cholecystitis (P＜0.05). The 3year survival rate was significantly lower in gallbladder carcinomas with CEA and PCNA overexpression (P＜0.05), the 3year survival rate in patients with ECD positive tumors was higher than that of those with negative tumors (P＜0.05). Conclusion The detection of CEA, CA50 and PCNA is useful for early diagnosis of malignant change in gallbladder adenomas and gallbladder carcinomas. Therefore, the CEA, PCNA and ECD might be useful for predicting prognosis of gallbladder carcinomas.
Objective To observe the effect of selective sacral rhizotomy in treating spastic bladder after spinal cord injury and to explore the mechanism and the best surgical method of different sacral rhizotomies. Methods The spastic bladder models were established in 12 male dogsand were divided into 4 groups according to the different rhizotomies of the sacral nerve as the following: rhizotomy of the anterior root of S2(group A), rhizotomy of the anterior root of S2 and half of the anterior root of S3(group B), rhizotomy of the anterior roots of S2 and S3(group C), and total rhizotomy of the nerve roots of S2-4 (group D). By urodynamic examination and electrophysiological -observation, the changes of all functional data were recorded and comparedbetween pre-rhizotomy and post-rhizotomy to testify the best surgical method. In clinical trial, according to the results of the above experiments, rhizotomy of the anterior root of S2 or one of the halfanterior root of S3 were conducted on 32 patients with spastic bladder after spinal cord injury. The mean bladder capacity, the mean urine evacuation and the mean urethra pressure were (120±30), (100±30)ml and (120±20) cm H2 O, respectively before rhizotomy. Results After rhizotomy, the bladder capacity in 4 groups amounted to (150±50), (180±50), (230±50), and (400±50) ml, respectively; and the urine evacuation volume were (130±30), (180±50), (100±50) and (50±30)ml, respectively. In the treated 32 patients, the mean bladder capacity were raised to 410 ml, and the mean urine evacuation volume were also increased to 350 ml. Incontinence of urine disappeared in all patients. After 22-month follow-up on 13 patients, no recurrence was observed. Conclusion The effectof selective sacral rhizotomy in treating spastic cord injury is significant and worthy of further studies.
Objective To investigate the rule of the morphological changes of the detrusor muscle and its neuromuscular junction after the medullary cone injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight SDadult rats were divided into 6 groups randomly, each of which was 8. There werenormal control group(group A), 4 weeks group(group B), 6 weeks group(group C), 8 weeks group(group D), 10 weeks group(group E) and 12 weeks group(group F) after the medullary cone injury respectively. The medullary cone injury was completed in the level of L4,5 with a sharp and transsectional way. The HE dyeing of the detrusor muscle was performed firstly to observe the changes of the section areas of muscle fibers. And the electron microscopic samples of the detrusor muscle were made to investigate the rules of the ultrastructructral changes in the detrusor muscle and its neuromuscular junction. Finally, the Masson trichromatic dyeing of the detrusor muscles was performed to calculate the percentages of the smooth muscle and the connective tissue.Results The HE dyeing of the detrusor muscle indicated the section areas of muscle fibers in groups E, F was significantly less than that in group A (P＜0.05). The gradually aggravated ultrastructructral changes of detrusor cells in groups B-F were observed in atonic bladders，such as various shape and size，malalignment, wide separation between musclecells, abundant collagen fibrils and irregular dense structures between individual cells, obvious rough endoplasmic reticulum widen and mitochondrial edema were noted．And the ultrastructructral changes of the neuromuscular junctions manifested that the similar structures in group A and the reduction of the mitochondria and synaptic vesicles was seen in groups B, C and D, the conspicuous degenerative neuromuscular junction and the obvious reduction of the synaptic vesiclesand the mitochondria was observed in group E,and the deteriorative degenerativeneuromuscular junction and the obvious reduction or disappearance of the synaptic vesicles and the mitochondria even to the degenerative corpuscle was noted in group F. The Masson trichromatic dyeing in the detrusor muscles indicated that there were significant differences in the percentage of the connective tissue in the detrusor muscles between groups E,F and group A, and between group E and group F respectively (P＜0.05). Conclusion The irreversible changes of the detrusor muscle and its neuromuscular junction canbe seen in the 10th week after medullary cone injury in rat. And the nerverepairing procedures should be performed before this.
Objective To investigate the biocompatibility of acellular urinary bladder submucosa (AUBS). Methods The acellular collagen matrix of human urinary bladder submucosa was developed using freeze-thawed enzymatic treatment and freeze-drying technique. Human oral keratinocytes were cultured and seeded on AUBS at a density of 2×106/ml in vitro.The proliferation of the cells were observed. Pockets were created in the abdominal muscle wall of 18 SD rats. AUBS in size 1 cm×1 cm was implanted into the pocket. The grafts were observed by light microscope 3, 6, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days after operation. Results AUBSmainly consisted of collagen fibers with a three-dimensional network structure. After the oral keratinocytes were seeded, continous oral epithelium layer was formed on the surface of AUBS after 10 days in vitro. Histological observation of the grafted AUBS showed progressive cell infiltration at 6 days. New capillaries formed at 14 days. The collagen fibers arranged regularly at 28 days after implantation. Conclusion Freeze-dried AUBS may be used as a suitable scaffold for tissue regeneration, which can induce cell proliferation both in vivo and in vitro and has good biocompatibilty.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the expression of tumor growth tactor β1 (TGFβ1) and p27 in gallbladder carcinoma and their relation to the development of the carcinoma. Methods The expression of TGF-β1 and p27 in 36 cases of gallbladder carcinoma was detected by SP immunohistochemical staining. Twenty cases of chronic cholecystitis were collected as control. Results The positive rate of TGF-β1 （63.9%） was higher than that of the control （10.0%），P＜0.05， and the positive rate of p27 (47.2%) was lower than that of the control 100%(P＜0.05). The positive rate of TGF-β1 was significantly higher in metastasis or Nevin Ⅳ～Ⅴ stage cases than that of non-metastasis or Nevin Ⅰ～Ⅲ stage cases 33.3% (P＜0.05). The positive rate of p27 was statistically higher in moderate and highly differentiation (60.9%), nonmetastasis (75.0%) or Nevin’s Ⅰ～Ⅲ stage (75.0%) cases than those of poor differentiation (23.0%), metastasis (33.3%) and Nevin Ⅳ～Ⅴ stage (33.3%) cases (P＜0.05). The expression of p27 was negatively correlated with that of TGF-β1(r=-0.4473，P＜0.05). There was significant difference in survival time between patients with TGF-β1 positive and TGF-β1 negative（P＜0.05）. The difference was also found between patients with p27 positive and p27 negative. Conclusion The upregulation of TGF-β1 and downregulation of p27 in gallbladder carcinoma indicates the imbalance of TGF-β1/p27 system, which may play a role in the carcinogenesis and predict the malignant behaviors of the carcinoma.
