Twenty cases of hypospadiasundergone urethro-plasty with blad-der mucosa and correction of cordein one stage surgery are reported.Sixteen of 20 cases had satisfactoryresults .Two cases with structureof anastomosis have been improvedby urethral dilatation and the othertwo cases complicated with urethral-cutaneous fistula have gradually heal-ed with prolonged diversion of cysto- tomy. The indication and techniqueof this surgery are discussed indetail.
Modified Goligher’s highly selective vagotomy (HSV) for 217 cases of duodenal ulcers is reported. In this series they were: duodenal ulcer (100 cases), combined gastric and duodenal ulcers (79 cases) and complicated perforating, bleeding or stenosed ulcers (38 cases). In the complicated duodenal ulcer, HSV was usually carried out with suturing bleeding point, perforated ulcer or with pyloroplasty. With a follow-up of 3~20 years, the recurrence rate werelt;2% and 85.7% of cases had excellent or good results as Visick classification. Considerations relevant to the HSV technic are deemed worthy of emphasis; complete resection of gastric branches of anterior and posterior vagal trunks and preservation of the first limb of the "Crow’s foot", extended dissection of the distal 5-7cm of the esophagus and division of the distal 8-10cm of the bundle of the gastroepiploic vessels in order to deprive the whole parietal cell mass of its vagal supply. In 4 patients, recurrence were easily controlled with remedies or operation for gastric retention by rational type. The authors suggest that the modified HSV plus mucusdeprived antrectomy be the rational surgical choice for duodenal ulcer.
The expression of T antigen in rectal cancer and mucosa remote from carcinoma by immunohistochemistry was investigated. Mucin protein was also examined by HID-AB staining. The results showed that the expression of T antigen in rectal cancer was much ber than those in 10cm mucosa remote from carcinoma and no significant difference as compared with 5cm mucosa. The sialomucin reactions in 5cm and 10cm mucosa remote from carcinoma were 45% and 20% respectively. The coincident sialomucin positive reaction and expression of T antigen were found in 40% 5cm remote mucosa .There is significant correlation between them (Ｐ＜0.05). The authors conclude that the expression of tumorrelated antigen and change of mucin protein in remote mucosa without malignant invasion may suggest the malignant potential of the mucosa. Further investigations should be performed into the effect of these changes on the local recurrence after redical resection of rectal cancer.
From march 199 to marxh 1994, 25 patients sustained acute gastroduodenal muncosal hemorrhage after liver surgery of 1519 cases in this hospital. Among all patients, 24 cases were primary liver carcinoma with hepatocirrhosis and one was cavernous hemangioma of the liver gt;all were treated by non-operative method, including nutritional support, liver function protection, blood transfusion and infusion to increase the blood volume and administration of hemostatic and antagonist of H2-receptor or H+/K+ATP enyme. Twenty one patients recovered and 4 deaths were cases of severe hepatocirrhosis. The result indicates that there is a direct relationship between acute gastroduodenal mucosal lesions and hepatic cirrhosis. The severer the degree of hepaticcirrhosis and the worse the general condition after surgery is the more severely the liver function impaired, there will be more chance of developing acute gastricmucosal erosion and bleeding.
Eighteen paticnts (17 females and 1 male ) with acguired preanal fistula were treated surgically. The ages ranged from 4 months to 12 years. Their locations were between the anorectum and the vestibulum (12 cases), the anorectum and the labia (2 cases), the anorectum and the vagina (3 cases), and the anorectum and the urethra (1 case). All of them were tueated by intraectal repair. The surgical procedures were briefly discused. The operation could be used in all types of acquired preanal fistula and has no danger of trauma to the anal sphincter and posterior vaginal wall. A long term follow-up study of 7 patients showed that there was a cure in 18 cases with normal function.
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on repairing injury of intestinal mucosa in acute necrotic pancreatitis (ANP). METHODS Sixteen dogs of ANP animal model were made by injection of 5% sodium taurocholate (0.5 ml/kg) with 3,000 U/kg trypsin into the pancreatic duct. The mucosa structure, content of protein, DNA and malondiethylaldehyde (MDA) were observed after ANP and treatment with bFGF, and the plasma lipopolysaccharide and endothelin-1 were detected. The organs of dogs were made to bacterial culture. Ileal mucosa was collected for histological and ultrastructural studies. RESULTS The results showed that after treatment with bFGF, the injury of intestinal mucosa in ANP was abated. The length, height and area of mucosa microvillus, the content of DNA and protein of ileal mucosa were significantly increased, while the plasma endothelin-1 and lipopolysaccharide were reduced. The organ bacterial translocation rate was also decreased in 50%. CONCLUSION bFGF has good effects on abating injury of intestinal mucosa, protecting gut barrier function, reducing the incidence of lipopolysaccharide and bacterial translocation after ANP.
This experimental study was aimed at observing the influence of bile salt and lactulose on intestinal mucosa of obstructive jaundiced rat. Twenty adult Wistar rate were divided into four groups (five rats for each group): sham operation, common bile duct ligation (CBDL), CBDL plus sodium deoxycholate feeding and CBDL plus lactulose feeding. The results showed that the intestinal mucosa of rats with obstructive jaundice took on marked edema, markedly decreased activities of adenosine triphosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and succinic dehydrogenase and intensified acid phosphatase activity. However, the intestinal mucosa of the rats, treated with bile salt or lactulose as compared with that of the obstructive jaundiced rats showed both pathological and histochemical improvement.
Twenty - three cases of hypospadiaswere treated by primary cystomucoso - ure-throplasty。Twenty cases had the success inthe first operation with the success rate of86.9%。The external urethral orifice was re-constructed to the coronary groove in 17 cas-es ,and to the glans in 6 cases。The early re-sults were satisfactory。This operative tech-nique had the advantages of convenient forobtaining the materials, reasonable physiolog-ical needs, high success rate, satisfactory ex-ternal feature, and useful in various type of hypospadias.
Objective To summarize the role of inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP) and gut barrier dysfunction in recent years. Methods Literatures on cytokines and experimental pancreatitis as well as clinical pancreatitis were collected and reviewed. Results Tumor necrosis factor-α and other inflammatory cytokines were elevated significantly during pancreatitis in many tissues, especially in pancreas and alimentary tract, in a fashion independent of the animal model used. Anti-cytokine therapy could decrease the concentration of the cytokines in experimental animal. Conclusion Inflammatory cytokines are believed to be primarily responsible for the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis and its associated distant organ dysfunction. Further study of the nature of these cytokines may provide a new approach to treating this disease.
Objective To investigate the effects of highly selective vagotomy plus mucosal antrectomy (HSVMA) and highly selective vagotomy (HSV) alone on the functions of the gastric antrum. MethodsEighteen dogs and 48 patients with chronic duodenal ulcer were tested. The time of gastric emptying, antral myoelectric activity, antral pressure were measured 4-6 months after operation in 18 dogs which were randomized into the control, HSV and HSVMA groups. The gastric evacuation, frequency and amplitude of electrogastrography (EGG) were observed 4-6 months after operation in 48 patients who were randomly divided into HSV (20 patients) and HSVMA (28 patients) group, their preoperative values were considered as control group. ResultsIt was found by barium meal examinations that the shape of the stomach and duodenum was normal and gastric peristalsis was clearly visible in all the animals and patients of two postoperative groups. The beginning and ending time of gastric emptying were (5.0±0.06) min and (4.0±0.4) h respectively in the dogs of HSVMA group, which were similar to those of the dogs of control and HSV group (Pgt;0.05). The frequency of the antral myoelectric action potential was (3.11±0.65 ) cycles/min in the dogs of HSVMA group, the frequency of EGG was (3.25±0.75) cycles/min in the patients of HSVMA group, which were significantly lower than that of the dogs or patients of control and HSV group (P＜0.05). Injection of pentagastrin in dogs or taking meal in patients significantly increased the antral pressure or amplitude of EGG. Conclusion The motor function of the reconstructed antrum in the HSVMA group approaches the normal level despite a lower antral myoelectric frequency. It is believed that HSVMA will be a choice for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
