  • Prophylactic Measures for Non Traumatic Complications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

    【Abstract】Objective To investigate prophylactic measures for nontraumatic complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods The data of 13 000 patients who underwent LC in Kunming general hospital of PLA over 13 years(1991-2004) were retrospectively reviewed. Results Nine malignant tumors and 47 common bile duct stones were missed at LC. The 9 malignant tumors included hepatic cancer (n=1), gastric cancer (n=1), gallbladder cancer (n=2), pancreatic cancer (n=2) and right colon cancer (n=3). Of all the carcinomas, 3 patients with right colon cancer underwent colectomy, the other 6 patients couldn’t be cured radically. All the 47 patients with choledocholithiasis were cured successfully, among them 31 patients were performed with ERCP and 16 were reoperated on with cholangiotomy. Conclusion This study emphasizes the necessity to analyze carefully patients’ symptoms before operation and pay attention to pathological changes of gallbladder and intraabdominal situation intraoperatively. If necessary, laparoscopic ultrosonography can be used to avoid missing malignant tumors and biliary stones.

  • The Early Responses of VEGFs During Acute Lung Injury Induced by Immersion in Seawater after Open Chest Trauma

    【Abstract】Objective To investigate the role of VEGF and its soluble VEGF receptor ( sVEGFR-1) in pathogenesis of acute lung injury ( ALI) induced by immersion in seawater after open chest trauma. Methods Sixteen hybridized adult dogs were randomly divided into control group and seawater group. The control group only suffered from open chest trauma, whereas the seawater group were exposed to seawater after open chest trauma. Blood samples were collected at the 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 h after trauma for measurement of white blood cell count, arterial blood gas, plasma osmotic pressure ( POP) , electrolyte concentration, IL-8, vWF, VEGF and sVEGFR-1 levels. The lungs tissue and BALF was collected at 8 h after trauma. Pathological changes of the lung was observed under light microscope by HE staining. Meanwhile VEGF and sVEGFR-1 levels were measured in BALF and lung tissue homogenate. Total protein concentrations in plasma and BALF were measured to calculate the pulmonary penetration index ( PPI) . Results The lung of the seawater group showed interstitial mononuclear cell and neutrophil infiltration, interstitial edema, and vascular congestion. VEGF and sVEGFR-1 were significantly increased in the plasma, while VEGF was significantly reduced in the lung tissues and BALF. The levels of IL-1β, IL-8 and vWF, just as the level of VEGF, were significantly increased in the plasma. Meanwhile, the POP and electrolyte concentration were significantly increased. In the plasma, the responses of VEGFs during the early onset of ALI induced by immersion in seawater after open chest trauma were consistent with the POP and PPI. Conclusions High plasma levels and low BALF/ lung tissue levels of VEGFs is a distinguishing characteristic during the early onset of ALI induced by immersion in seawater after open chest trauma. VEGF may be a novel biomarker which has an important role in the development of ALI.

  • Application and Modification of Revised Trauma Score for Emergency Treatment of Trunk Injury

    Objective To testify the efficacy of revised trauma score (RTS) in evaluating the severity of trunk injury,analyze its inadequacy and make modifications to improve its specificity and accuracy in evaluating trunk injury. Methods Medical records of 278 patients undergoing emergency surgery for the treatment of trunk injury in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2006 and June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 231 males and 47 females in the age of 1-75 (33.7±14.1) years. RTS was calculated for each patient. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in these patients acquired at the emergency room were included to reflect the severity of blood loss. The correlations between RTS and patient response to treatment as well as RTS and prognosis were analyzed. Patient response to treatment and prognosis were compared between the normal RTS group and the abnormal RTS group. Univariate analysis was performed followed by multivariate analysis for the variables which may impact prognosis. Modified RTS was established by regression analysis. Results RTS was significantly correlated with patient response to treatment as well as prognosis. RTS was significantly correlated with the time duration between the onset of injury and the beginning of operation (r =0.249,P<0.001), thoracic and abdominal blood loss volume (r = -0.255,P<0.001),fluid resuscitation volume (r = -0.244,P<0.001) as well as length of ICU stay (r = -0.202,P=0.001). Mortalities in patients with different RTS were statistically different (P=0.004). In the patient group with normal RTS the mortality was 5.1%,which indicates the inadequacy of RTS in evaluating trunk injury. Univariate analysis revealed that both emergency room Hb and RTS were correlated with patients’ prognosis. After putting these two factors into the regression analysis,a new formula to calculate modified RTS is established:Logit (P death)=6.450-0.769×RTS-0.029×Emergency room Hb. Conclusion Modified RTS is more specific in evaluating trunk injury and maintains the advantages of simplicity and rapidness.

  • The Relationship Between Cardiac Dysfunction and the Changes of Adenosine Triphosphate Enzyme in Myocardial Cells after Blunt Chest Trauma

    Objective To investigate the changes and roles of myocardial adenosine triphosphate enzyme(ATPase) in the mechanism of cardiac dysfunction after blunt chest trauma(BCT). Methods Thirtysix rabbits were divided into 6 groups with random number table, control group, 2 h group, 4 h group, 8 h group, 12 h group and 24 h group, 6 in each group. The models of BCT were established with BIMⅡ biological impact machine, catheterization technique was used through the right jugular artery into the left ventricle measure its pressure. The hemodynamics and the activities of ATPase in myocardial cell plasm, homogenate and mitochondria were measured at preinjury(control group), 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h postinjury. Results Left ventricular endsystolic pressure(LVESP), the maximal ascending rate of left intraventricular pressure(+dp/dtmax), isovolemec pressure(IP) and the maximal physiological velocity(Vpm) decreased significantly at 2 h group after BCT(Plt;0.05), and recovered to preinjury level in 4 h, 8 h and 12 h group during 4-12 h after BCT; isovolumic relaxation phase left ventricular pressure descending time constant (T). Left ventricular enddiastolic pressure(LVEDP) and the maximal descending rate of left intraventricular pressure(-dp/dtmax) were significantly higher (Plt;0.05, 0.01). The activity of ATPase in homogenate, mitochondria and cell plasm decreased significantly at 2 h group and 4 h group after BCT(Plt;0.05, 001, respectively), and 8 h group and 12 h group recovered after BCT. There was negative correlations between [CM(159mm]LVEDP and -dp/dtmax and the decrease of the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in homogenate(r=-0.674, -0.691, Plt;0.05), the Ca2+-ATPase in homogenate(r=-0.613,-0.642, Plt;0.05), the Na+-K+-ATPase in mitochondria(r=-0.622,-0.616, Plt;0.05),the Ca2+-ATPase in myocardial cell plasm(r=-0.672,-0.658, Plt;0.05), the Na+-K+-ATPase in myocardial cell plasm(r=-0.627,-0.632,Plt;0.05),and the Mg2+-ATPase in myocardial cell plasm(r=-0.677,-0.661, Plt;0.05). Conclusion The left ventricular function is impaired obviously after BCT, especially in diastolic phase. The decrease of the activity of ATPase in myocardial cells may be one of the reasons of cardiac dysfunction after BCT.

  • The Changes of Cardiac Functions after Blunt Chest Trauma in Rabbits

    Objective To investigate the changed rules of the cardiac functions in rabbits and to provide theoretical gists for clinical diagnosis and treatment after blunt chest trauma(BCT). Methods Using the models of moderate to severe BCT with BIM-Ⅱ Bio-impactor in 20 rabbits to examinate the cardiac functions with cardiac catheterization, the single photonemission computed tomography(SPECT) and the Doppler echocardiography at preinjury and 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h and 24h after BCT. Results Central venous pressure( CVP), left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP) and the decreasing time constant of left intraventricular pressure (T) at 24h after trauma were higher obviously than those before trauma (Plt;0.05,0.01). The -dp/dtmax at 24h after trauma was lower markedly than that before trauma (Plt;0.05 ). The ejection fraction(EF),1/3 EF, 1/3 ejection rate(1/3ER) and the ratio of 1/3 filling rate (1/3FR) to 1/3ER of the right ventricle at 24h after impacted were lower markedly than those before impacted (Plt;0.05). The peak filling rate, 1/3 filling fraction, 1/3 filling rate, the ratio of peak filling rate to peak ejection rate and the ratio of 1/3FR to 1/3ER of the left ventricular at 24h after impacted were lower obviously than those before impacted (Plt;0.05, 0.01). Conclusion The cardiac functions are changed significantly after BCT. The expressions of the right ventricular dysfunctions mainly are systolic dysfunction while the left ventricular dysfunctions are mainly diastolic dysfunction after BCT. All the cardiac catheterization, SPECT and the Doppler echocardiography are beneficial to the diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction after BCT. The SPECT is more exactitude and the Doppler echocardiography is more cheaper.
