    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To explore differences in biochemical indices between neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) and that with other etiologies.METHODS:Patients under 6 mo of age who were referred for investigation of conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia from June 2003 to December 2010 were eligible for this study.After excluding diseases affecting the extrahepatic biliary system,all patients were screened for the two most common SLC25A13 mutations; the coding exons of the entire SLC25A13 gene was sequenced and Western blotting of citrin protein performed in selected cases.Patients in whom homozygous or compound heterozygous SLC25A13 mutation and/or absence of normal citrin protein was detected were defined as having NICCD.Cases in which no specific etiological factor could be ascertained after a comprehensive conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia work-up were defined as idiopathic neonatal cholestasis (INC).Thirty-two NICCD patients,250 INC patients,and 39infants with cholangiography-confirmed biliary atresia (BA) were enrolled.Laboratory values at their first visit were abstracted from medical files and compared.RESULTS:Compared with BA and INC patients,the NICCD patients had significantly higher levels of total bile acid (TBA) [all measures are expressed as median (inter-quartile range):178.0 (111.2-236.4) μtmol/L in NICCD vs 112.0 (84.9-153.9) μmol/L in BA and 103.0 (70.9-135.3) μmol/L in INC,P =0.0001].The NICCD patients had significantly lower direct bilirubin [D-Bil 59.6 (43.1-90.9) μmol/L in NICCD vs 134.0(115.9-151.2) μmol/L in BA and 87.3 (63.0-123.6)μmol/L in INC,P =0.0001]; alanine aminotransferase [ALT 34.0 (23.0-55.0) U/L in NICCD vs 108.0(62.0-199.0) U/L in BA and 84.5 (46.0-166.0) U/L in INC,P =0.0001]; aspartate aminotransferase [AST 74.0 (53.5-150.0) U/L in NICCD vs 153.0 (115.0-239.0)U/L in BA and 130.5 (81.0-223.0) U/L in INC,P =0.0006]; albumin [34.9 (30.7-38.2) g/L in NICCD vs 38.4 (36.3-42.2) g/L in BA and 39.9 (37.0-42.3) g/L in INC,P =0.0001]; glucose [3.2 (2.0-4.4) mmol/L in NICCD vs 4.1 (3.4-5.1) mmol/L in BA and 4.0 (3.4-4.6)mmol/L in INC,P =0.0014] and total cholesterol [TCH 3.33 (2.97-4.00) mmol/L in NICCD vs 4.57 (3.81-5.26)mmol/L in BA and 4.00 (3.24-4.74) mmol/L in INC,P =0.0155] levels.The D-Bil to total bilirubin (T-Bil) ratio was significantly lower in NICCD patients [all measures are expressed as median (inter-quartile range):0.54(0.40-0.74)] than that in BA patients [0.77 (0.72-0.81),P =0.001] and that in INC patients [0.74 (0.59-0.80),P =0.0045].A much higher AST/ALT ratio was found in NICCD patients [2.46 (1.95-3.63)] compared to BA patients [1.38 (0.94-1.97),P =0.0001] and INC patients [1.48 (1.10-2.26),P =0.0001].NICCD patients had significantly higher TBA/D-Bil ratio [3.36(1.98-4.43) vs 0.85 (0.72-1.09) in BA patients and 1.04(0.92-1.14) in INC patients,P =0.0001],and TBA/TCH ratio [60.7 (32.4-70.9) vs 24.7 (19.8-30.2) in BA patients and 24.2 (21.4-26.9) in INC patients,P =0.0001]compared to the BA and INC groups.CONCLUSION:NICCD has significantly different biochemical indices from BA or INC.TBA excretion in NICCD appeared to be more severely disturbed than that of bilirubin and cholesterol.

    查看更多>>摘要:To investigate the effects of emergent preoperative self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) vs emergent surgery for acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction.METHODS:Two investigators independently searched the MEDLINE,EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,as well as references of included studies to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs)that compared two or more surgical approaches for acute colonic obstruction.Summary risk ratios (RR)and 95% CI for colonic stenting and emergent surgery were calculated.RESULTS:Eight studies met the selection criteria,involving 444 patients,of whom 219 underwent SEMS and 225 underwent emergent surgery.Seven studies reported difference of the one-stage stoma rates between the two groups (RR,0.60; 95% CI:0.48-0.76;P < 0.0001).Only three RCTs described the follow-up stoma rates,which showed no significant difference between the two groups (RR,0.80; 95% CI:0.59-1.08;P =0.14).Difference was not significant in the mortality between the two groups (RR,0.91; 95% CI:0.50-1.66; P =0.77),but there was significant difference (RR,0.57; 95% CI:0.44-0.74; P < 0.0001) in the overall morbidity.There were no significant differences between the two groups in the anastomotic leak rate (RR,0.60; 95% CI:0.28-1.28; P =0.19),occurrence of abscesses,including peristomal abscess,intraperitoneal abscess and parietal abscess (RR,0.83; 95% CI:0.36-1.95; P =0.68),and other abdominal complications (RR:0.67; 95% CI:0.40-1.12; P =0.13).CONCLUSION:SEMS is not obviously more advantageous than emergent surgery for patients with acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction.

    查看更多>>摘要:To compare postoperative complications and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with different routes of reconstruction.METHODS:After obtaining approval from the Medical Ethics Committee of the Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center,we retrospectively reviewed data from 306 consecutive patients with histologically diagnosed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who were treated between 2001 and 2011.All patients underwent radical McKeown-type esophagectomy with at least two-field lymphadenectomy.Regular follow-up was performed in our outpatient department.Postoperative complications and long-term survival were analyzed by treatment modality,baseline patient characteristics,and operative procedure.Data from patients treated via the retrosternal and posterior mediastinal routes were compared.RESULTS:The posterior mediastinal and retrosternal reconstruction routes were employed in 120 and 186patients,respectively.Pulmonary complications were the most common complications experienced during the postoperative period (46.1% of all patients;141/306).Compared to the retrosternal route,the posterior mediastinal reconstruction route was associated with a lower incidence of anastomotic stricture (15.8%vs 27.4%,P =0.018) and less surgical bleeding (242.8± 114.2 mL vs 308.2 ± 168.4 mL,P < 0.001).The median survival time was 26.8 mo (range:1.6-116.1mo).Upon uni/multivariate analysis,a lower preoperative albumin level (P =0.009) and a more advanced pathological stage (pT; P =0.006; pN; P < 0.001)were identified as independent factors predicting poor prognosis.The reconstruction route did not influence prognosis (P =0.477).CONCLUSION:The posterior mediastinal route of reconstruction reduces incidence of postoperative complications but does not affect survival.This route is recommended for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
