ObjectiveTo investigate the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with pancreatic head carcinoma, the dynamic changes of these cells before and after pancreatoduodenectomy were also analyzed. MethodsThe proportions of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ Tregs in patients with pancreatic head carcinoma and normal individuals were examined by using flow cytometric analysis. The CD4+/CD8+ ratio was also studied before and after operation. ResultsThe patients with pancreatic head carcinoma showed higher ratio of CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25high Tregs compared with normal control before operation (Plt;0.05). However, the percentage of these T cells reduced significantly after pancreatoduodenectomy, which was most obviously on the 3rd day after operation (Plt;0.01, Plt;0.05). After operation, CA199 level began to decrease, which was obvious on the fourteen day after operation. This tendency of CD4+CD25high Tregs changes was similar to that of CA199. The patients showed an decreased ratios of CD4+/CD8+ compared with normal controls, which further declined after operation, and reached the lowest point on the seventh day after operation (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsPancreatoduodenectomy may be helpful for the recovery of antitumor immunity. The perioperative period of patients with pancreatic head carcinoma may be a beneficial windowphase for immune intervention and Tregs may be served as target cells.
【摘要】目的探讨提高可切除胰头癌疗效和降低手术风险的方法。方法回顾我院1996年1月至2001年12月期间行根治性胰十二指肠切除术治疗的胰头癌病例，对可切除胰头癌患者的术前评估、围手术期治疗和术式选择进行分析。结果外科收治胰头癌271例，行根治性切除术73例，根治切除率为26.9%（73/271），围手术期死亡率为6.8%（5/73）。其中56例行改良扩大的胰十二指肠切除术，1年和3年生存率分别为71.4%和33.9%。结论根治性胰十二指肠切除术是可切除胰头癌惟一可能提供治愈机会的治疗选择。加强术前评估并同时重视围手术期处理，有助于改善预后。
目的探讨如何减少胰十二指肠切除术后并发症及提高胰头及壶腹周围癌的疗效。方法总结我院41例胰头及壶腹周围癌患者行胰十二指肠切除术治疗的经验。结果癌肿切除率为17.7%，手术并发症发生率为26.8%，手术死亡率为14.6%。而1990年后仅发生2例且无胆、胰瘘发生，亦无死亡。结论应用胰肠、胆肠吻合口处双管减压引流，防止了术后胰、胆瘘的发生，是降低并发症及死亡率的重要手段。
Sixteen cases unresectable carcinoma of the head of the pancreas complicated with jaundice were treated by one stage cholecysto-jejunal and gastro-jejunal loop double anastomosis, the same result of jaundice drainage and prevention of bile reflux were obtained when compared with simple cholecysto-jejunal loop anastomosis, on the other hand, the obstructive symptoms resulting from postoperative cancerous comppression of duodenum and pylorus were avoided as well. The operation is simple with less physiologic disturbance and the patient can lead better postoperative live.
Forty-five pancreatoduodenectomies had been performed in our hospital from 1981 to 1994, of which 35 cases were diagnosed as carcinomas of Vater’s ampulla or pancreatic head, and 10 (cases) as benign lesions. Through analysis of misdiagnosed cases, the authors emphasize that it is important to take correct history of jaundiced patients in detail according to the character of the jaundice and associated symptoms before any operation done. Secondly, all clinical materials must be thoroughly collected and special examinations for diagnosis should be chosen scientifically to avoid relying only on one sort of examination result as diagnostic standard. Thirdly, during operation the area of pancreatic head should be explored carefully and any lesions in doubt should be examined pathologically by puncture biopsy and frozen section to avoid misdiagnosis and thus performing pancreatoduodenectomy.
Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of extended and standard surgery for carcinoma of head of pancreas by using meta-analysis. Methods Related articls （1990-2012） were searched in Pubmed， WOS， Embase， WanFang， SinoMed， and CNKI. Study on quality of these literatures were evaluated by using the Jadad score. The patients with pancreatic head carcinoma underwent extended radical resection and standard radical resection were classified to treatment group and control group， respectively. The mortality， morbidity， and survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year after operation in the two groups were evaluated by using meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 studies fitted the selection crit-eria， including 744 patients. Among them 357 cases were in standard radical resection group and 387 cases in the extended radical resection group. The results of meta-analysis showed that： ①The morbidity after operation did not significantly differed between the extended radical resection group and standard radical resection group （OR=1.360， 95% CI=0.990-1.870， P=0.050）. ②The mortality of the two groups did not significantly differed （OR=0.870， 95% CI=0.430-1.760，P=0.700）. ③There were no significant differences in survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year between the two groups （OR=0.880， 95% CI=0.450-1.720， P=0.710；OR=0.940， 95% CI=0.590-1.480，P=0.710；OR=1.000， 95% CI=0.600-1.67， P=1.000）. Conclusion Compared with standard radical resection， extended radical resection can not improve the survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year after operation， and can’t reduce the mortality and morbidity after operation
Objective To determine the safety and efficacy of surgical biliary bypass on the elderly patients with unresectable pancreatic head cancer. Methods The clinical data of 55 cases with unresectable pancreatic head cancer treated with palliation methods from July 2002 to June 2009 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups according to different age and therapeutic program: Nineteen patients, 65 years of age or older, were managed with surgical biliary bypass (group A), 19 patients under 65 years of age were treated by surgical biliary bypass (group B) and 17 patients with the age of 65 years or older received percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (group C). Then the therapeutic results were compared.Results With respect to the postoperative level of serum bilirubin, the incidence of early complications, postoperative hospitalization and mean survival time, no statistically significant difference was found between group A and B (Pgt;0.05). There was one case of recurrent jaundice and one case of gastric output obstruction in group B, while no one suffered postoperative complication in group A, and the difference was statistically significant (Plt;0.01). Compared with group A, the postoperative level of serum bilirubin, the number of patient readmitted, the rate of recurrent jaundice and gastric output obstruction were higher in group C (Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01). The mean postoperative hospitalization and overall survival time were significantly shorter in group C than group A (Plt;0.05 or Plt;0.01, respectively). Conclusion Surgical palliation does not increase the morbidity rate, but it does improve the quality of life in elderly patients with unresectable pancreatic head cancer.
