We sought to establish a recurrence risk scoring system to predict recurrence of HCC patients receiving surgical curative treatment(liver resection or transplantation).METHODS: We retrospectively studied 286 HCC patients with preserved liver function receiving liver resection(n=184) or transplantation(n=102). Independent risk factors were identified to construct the recurrence risk scoring model. The recurrence free survival and discriminatory ability of the model were analyzed. RESULTS: Total tumor volume, HBs Ag status, plasma fibrinogen level were included as independent prognostic factors for recurrence-free survival and used for constructing a 3-factor recurrence risk scoring model. The scoring model was as follows: 0.758×HBs Ag status(negative: 0; positive: 1)+0.387×plasma fibrinogen level(≤3.24 g/L: 0; 〉3.24 g/L: 1)+0.633×total tumor volume(≤107.5 cm3: 0; 〉107.5 cm3: 1). The cutoff value was set to 1.02, and we defined the patients with the score ≤1.02 as a low risk group and those with the score 〉1.02 as a high risk group. The 3-year recurrence-free survival rate was significantly higher in the low risk group compared with that in the high risk group(67.9% vs 41.3%, P〈0.001). In the subgroup analysis, liver transplantation patients had a better3-year recurrence-free survival rate than the liver resection patients in the low risk group(80.0% vs 64.0%, P〈0.01). Additionally for patients underwent liver transplantation, we compared the recurrence risk model with the Milan criteria in the prediction of recurrence, and the 3-year recurrence survival rates were similar(80.0% vs 79.3%, P=0.906).CONCLUSION: Our recurrence risk scoring model is effective in categorizing recurrence risks and in predicting recurrencefree survival of HCC before potential surgical curative treatment.展开更多

In contrast, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) for the treatment of rectal cancer has been welcomed with significantly less enthusiasm. While it is likely that patients with rectal cancer will experience the same benefits of early recovery and decreased postoperative pain from the laparoscopic approach, whether the same oncologic clearance, specifically an adequate TME can be obtained is of concern. The aim of the current study is to review the current level of evidence in the literature on laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery with regard to short-term and long-term oncologic outcomes. The data from 8 RCTs, 3 metaanalyses, and 2 Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was reviewed. Current data suggests that laparoscopic rectal cancer resection may benefit patients with reduced blood loss, earlier return of bowel function, and shorter hospital length of stay. Concerns that laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery compromises short-term oncologic outcomes including number of lymph nodes retrieved and circumferential resection margin and jeopardizes long-term oncologic outcomes has not conclusively been refuted by the available literature. Laparoscopic rectal cancer resection is feasible but whether or not it compromises short-term or long-term results still needs to be further studied.展开更多

Therapeutic ERCP intervention is performed much more extensively for its minimally invasive nature, but a part of patients are referred to surgery at last. Historical and follow-up data of 21 young patients with chronic pancreatitis undergoing duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection were ana- lyzed to evaluate the outcomes of therapeutic ERCP intervention and surgical intervention in this study. The surgical complications of repeated therapeutic ERCP intervention and surgical intervention were 38% and 19% respectively. During the first therapeutic ERCP intervention to surgical intervention, 2 patients developed diabetes, 5 patients developed steatorrhea, and 5 patients developed pancreatic type B pain. During the follow-up of surgical intervention, 1 new case of diabetes occurred, 1 case of stea- torrhea recovered, and 4 cases of pancreatic type B pain were completely relieved. In a part of young patients with chronic pancreatitis, surgical intervention was more effective than therapeutic ERCP in- tervention on delaying the progression of the disease and relieving the symptoms.展开更多

文摘A pancreas surgeon’s constant goal is to do"less damage,more radical".Currently,a small number of highly trained surgeons opt for single-incision laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(SILPD)or single-incision plus one-port LPD(SILPD+1)to minimize post-operative pain,improve convalescence,and provide a more pleas-ing cosmetic outcome[1,2].Additionally,some skilled surgeons have claimed that laparoscopic duodenum-preserving complete pancreatic head resections(LDPPHR)result in less trauma and en-hanced quality of life[3,4].However,LDPPHR is still challenging because of its lengthy learning curve and"sword-fighting"impact.Additionally,there has not been any global reporting on the suit-ability of single-incision plus one-port DPPHR with pancreaticogas-trostomy(SILDPPHR-T+1)in place of SILPD+1.This study aimed to illustrate the SILDPPHR-T+1 procedure specifics for a patient with pancreatic head intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN)(main pancreatic duct type)(MD-IPMN).

During the follow-up of surgical intervention, 1 new case of diabetes occurred, 1 case of stea- torrhea recovered, and 4 cases of pancreatic type B pain were completely relieved. In a part of young patients with chronic pancreatitis, surgical intervention was more effective than therapeutic ERCP in- tervention on delaying the progression of the disease and relieving the symptoms.
文摘Glioblastoma multiform(GBM)is the most common malignant brain tumor characterized by poor prognosis,increased invasiveness,and high relapse rates.The relative survival estimates are quite low in spite of the standard treatment for GBM in recent years.Now,it has been gradually accepted that the amount of tumor mass removed correlates with longer survival rates.Although new technique advances allowing intraoperative analysis of tumor and normal brain tissue and functional paradigms based on stimulation techniques to map eloquent areas have been used for GBM resection,visual identification of tumor margins still remains a challenge for neurosurgeons.This article attempts to review and summarize the evolution of surgical resection for glioblastomas.
文摘Background:Myxofibrosarcoma(MFS),especially radiation-Induced MFS(RIMFS)in the head and neck,is an extremely rare malignant fibroblastic tumor.The diagnosis and treatment of MFS remain great challenges.In the present study,we presented one case of RIMFS.Combined with previous literature,the clinical features,essentials of diagnosis,and treatment modalities of MFS in the head and neck were reviewed to better understand this rare entity.Case presentation:We reported a case of RIMFS under the left occipital scalp in a 20-year-old girl with a history of medulloblastoma surgery and radiotherapy in 2006.A total tumor resection was performed with preservation of the overlying scalp the underlying bone,and no adjuvant therapy was administered after the first operation.The postoperative pathological diagnosis was high-grade MFS.The tumor relapsed 6 months later,and then,a planned extensive resection with negative surgical margins was carried out,followed by radiotherapy.No relapse occurred in a 12-month postoperative follow-up.Conclusions:Planned gross total resection(GTR)with negative margins is the reasonable choice and footstone of other treatments for MFS.Ill-defined infiltrated borders and the complicated structures make it a great trouble to achieve total resection of MFS in the head and neck,so adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy seem more necessary for these lesions.
