【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the relevant factors for fungal infection following pancreatoduodenectomy and offer the theoretical foundation for preventing the emergence of complications after operation． MethodsMedical records from 562 consecutive patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy in this hospital from 1995 to 2005 were retrospectively reviewed by using single factor and noncondition Logistic regression analyse. Results①Seventyeight patients (13.9%) developed invasive fungal infection. The most frequently isolated fungal were Candida albicans accounted for 67.0%， and followed by Candida glabrata, Candida papasilosis and Candida tropicalis and gastrointestinal tract was the most common infection site, followed by respiratory tract, abdominal cavity. ②Fungal infection occurred significantly more often in patients with the length of time in parenteral nutrition, antibiotic use or abdominal cavity complications. Conclusion The most common infection site and isolated fungal associated with pancreatoduodenectomy were gastrointestinal tract and Candida albicans. Abdominal cavity complications such as pancreatic fistula， biliary fistula and abdominal infection and extended use parenteral nutrition and antibiotic are the most important factors leading to invasive fungal infection after pancreatoduodenctomy. Eliminating the various risk factors will decrease the incidence of fungal infection.
【Abstract】Objective To observe concentration changes of substances including hepatocyte growth factor(HGF),interleukin-6(IL-6),nitric oxide(NO),nitric oxide synthase(NOS) that were secreted by sinusoidal endothelial cells(SECs) in different shear stress and study the effects of shear stress on the secretions of SECs.Methods To establish a hemodynamics equipment and to set up a way to separate and culture SEC. The rats were divided into two groups: the control group (shear stress was 0 dyn/cm2) and study group. Study group was divided into three subgroups according to shear stress (12, 24 and 48 dyn/cm2). Sinusoidal endothelial cell culture mediums were examined in different shear stress and phases.Results HGF, IL-6, NO and NOS secreted by sinusoidal endothelial cells in different shear stress were distinctive and had positive correlation with shear stress and action time. Conclusion In vitro, the secretion of HGF,IL-6,NO and NOS of sinusoidal endothelial cells are increased along with shear stress rising, which suggests that the rising pressure in portal vein after hepatectomy may result in SECs activated．Activated SECs then secret many cytokines and medias to trigger the regeneration of liver.
