Objective To study the clinical features of duodenal trauma and its surgery to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment. Methods Methods of diagnosis and results of surgical treatment were analysed retrospectively of 35 cases of duodenal trauma. Results The positive rates of abdominal X-ray and abdominal puncture were 32.0%, 13.3% respectively. The extraperitoneal duodenal injuries occured in 30(85.7%) cases. 25(71.4%) cases were complicated by additional intraabdominal organ injuries. The rate of failure to diagnose intraoperatively was 11.4%. The postoperative complication rate was 37.1% and the death rate was 11.4%. Conclusion Duodenal trauma is characteristic of low diagnostic rate preoperatively, high failure rate intraoperatively and most of the cases are complicated by other intraabdominal organ injuries, so both the complication and mortality are high. If the diagnosis is certain, surgery should been taken suitably. This is the key to improve prognosis. The procedure performed is based on the condition of duodenal injuries.
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.
Six dogs underwent high selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA). The gross and histological change of dog’s stomach were observed at 4-6 months after operation. It was found that the reconstructed antrum healed well and there was no stasis and distension in the stomach .The appearance of the nerves in muscular layer of the antrum was normal. No serious gastritis and mucosal atrophy was observed. These results indicat that HSV+MA is a reasonable procedure for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
Forty-two patients with duodenal ulcer underwent highly selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA) and were followed up for 3 years. Two weeks, 1 year and 3 year after operation, serum gastrim level and gastric emptying capacity were tested. The results show that he postoperative levels of serum gastrin were lower than the preoperative ones, but wih no significant difference (Ｐ＞0.05). Only a few patients had delayed gastric emptying 2 weeks and 1year after operation,but it returned to normal in 3 years .The authors conclude that HSV+MA is a better operative treatment for duodenal ulcer since it can abolish the factors of postoperative ulcer recurence and perserve the functions of the antrum and the pylorus.
Objective To investigate the efficacy of pantoprazole and omeprazole as part of triple therapy in treatment of duodenal ulcer. Methods Seventy-eight patients with duodenal ulcer and HP-positive were randomized to two groups. A random number table was used to generate random sequence. The sequence was not concealed. No blinding was used. Thirty-nine patients received pantoprazole 40 mg + amoxicillin 1.0 g + clarithromycin 0.5 g (PAC group) and 39 patients received omeprazole 20 mg + amoxicillin 1.0 g + clarithromycin 0.5 g (OAC group), twice daily with duration of 7 days. The follow-up time was 4 to 6 weeks. Results At the end of the treatment, 38 patients completed the study, and 1 patient lost to follow-up in the PAC group; thirty-seven patients completed the study, two patients lost to followup in the OAC group. The results of intention-to-treat analysis and per-protocol analysis showed that the HP eradication rates were 87.2%/89.5% in the PAC group and 87.2%/91.9% in the OAC group (P＞0.05); the clinical improvement rates were 79.4%/81.6% in the PAC group and 82.0%/86.5% in the OAC group (P＞0.05). The side effect rates were 10.6% in the PAC group and 8.1% in the OAC group (P＞0.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions The PAC group is therapeutically effective for eradication of HP and improves symptoms and has an equivalent effect to OAC group for patients with HP-positive duodenal ulcer. Both drugs are well tolerated.
Objective To explore the feasibility and operation points of establishing duodenal-jejunal bypass （DJB）surgery animal model in Goto-Kakizaki （GK） rats. Methods Sixteen GK rats were randomly divided into experimental group （n=8） and control group （n=8）. In a standardized preoperative， intraoperative， and postoperative operation， the rats of experimental group and control group received DJB and sham surgery respectively. The fasting plasma glucose and body mass were observed before operation， and 1， 2， 3， and 4 weeks after operation in order to evaluate whether the models were established successfully. Survival situation of rats were observed too. Results All experimental rats survived at 4 weeks after the operation. Compared with the levels before operation， the fasting plasma glucose levels of experimental group decreased significantly （P＜0.05） at 1 week after operation， and remained stable at 2， 3， and 4 weeks after operation.The fasting plasma glucose levels of control group did not change statistically at all time points after operation （P＞0.05）. Compared with control group at the same time point， the fasting plasma glucose level of experimental group was lower （P＜0.05）， indicating that DJB models were established successfully. After 4 weeks， the value of body mass added in experimental group was significantly lower than those of control group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions DJB is a feasible， safe， and effective hypoglycemic surgery. The application of this set of experimental operating procedures can reduce the risk of intraoperative and postoperative mortality， and can develop a stable DJB model in Goto-Kakizaki rats.
Objective To evaluate the effect of ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage on acute perforation of gastroduodenal ulcer in elderly patients. Methods The clinical features, treatments, and the curative effects of 86 elderly cases (≥65 years) of acute perforation of gastroduodenal ulcer in our hospital between January 2004 and October 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-one cases were treated by ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage (drainage group), and 65 cases were treated by exploring operation (operation group). Results Drainage group was cured and had no complications. In 15 patients which accepted recheck one month after drainage, gastroscope showed the ulcer healed in 12 cases， and improved in 3 cases. In operation group, 63 cases were cured and 2 cases died. Compared with the drainage group, there was no significant difference in cure rate (Pgt;0.05). However, 11 patients had operative complications in operation group, which was significantly more than that in the drainage group （Plt;0.05）. In 45 patients which accepted recheck one month after operation, gastroscope showed the ulcer healed in 38 cases， and improved in 7 cases. Conclusion For elderly patients with acute perforation of gastroduodenal ulcer， if the patients do not fit for exploring operation， ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage is proved to be a simple, safe, and effective means.
Objective To explore the effect of laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy (Hill) on the treatment for acute perforating duodenal ulcer. Methods In 19 patients with acute perforating duodenal ulcers, laparoscopic repair of the perforation, laparoscopic freeing of the vagus, cutting off of posterior vagal trunk, and highly selective resection of anterior vagal trunk were performed. Results In all 19 cases the operation was successful. No patient was converted into open highly selective vagotomy. Ulcer symptoms of 17 patients disappeared after operation, and gastroscopy in follow up after 6 months showed that the ulcers had healed. The postoperative ulcer symptoms of 2 patients were markedly relieved and were easily controlled by medication. Conclusion The treatment of acute perforating duodenal ulcer by laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy (Hill) has the advantages of minor trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, and good results, it is a good procedure for the treatment of perforating duodenal ulcer.
Objective To study the earlier and later clinic results of 64 chronic duodenal ulcer patients treated with high selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA). Methods The clinic results of the patients and the changes of gastrin, motilin and somatostatin in the blood were prospectively investigated. Results Fifty nine (92.2%) patients after 3-6 months of follow-up and 26 (92.9%) patients after 5-8 years of follow-up achieved Visick grates Ⅰ-Ⅱ. No patients died. Gastric acid secretion and infection rate of helicobacter pylori in antral mucosa were significantly reduced after operation. No significant difference was showed in bile acids and total bacterial counts of gastric juice before and after operation. No ulcer recurrence was found by barium meal and endoscopy. There was no significant difference in serum gastrin and plasma motilin before and after operation. The level of somatostatin in the blood of patients after 5-8 years of follow-up was decreased. Conclusion HSV+MA is the better operative treatment for duodenal ulcer, since it can not only effectively and lastingly decrease acid secretion and rates of ulcer recurrence, but also preserve the function of the antrum and pylorus and keep the gastric milieu interne relatively stable.
ObjectiveTo observe the influence and interaction of duodenal jejunal bypass (DJB) and hepatic branch of vagus on glucose metabolism, and fasting serum glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) in non-obese rat with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsForty non-obese Wistar rats (GK) with T2DM were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group (SO group), sham operation plus hepatic branch of vagus resection (HBVR) group (SO+HBVR group), DJB group, and DJB+ HBVR group. The changes of preoperative and postoperative body weight, fasting blood glucose level, fasting serum insulin level, fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents among four groups were observed. ResultsIn the DJB group, the postoperative body weight and fasting blood glucose level were decreased significantly (P < 0.05) and the fasting insulin level, fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents were increased significantly (P < 0.05) as compared with the preoperative corresponding values in the same group, and it was found that the hepatic branch of vagus could more lastingly maintain postoperative lower body weight (P < 0.05), improve the level of insulin (P < 0.05), increase the fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents (P < 0.05) as compared with the DJB+HBVR group. ConclusionDJB could improve glucose metabolism effect of GK rats, the hepatic branch of vagus might play a role in it, too.
