    Abstract Background: In the perioperative period of biliary surgery, various factors can induce the release of a large number of inflammatory factors, leading to an imbalance in pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses and resulting in gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols in biliary surgery have been shown to reduce the stress response and accelerate postoperative recovery. It is crucial to reduce the inflammatory response and promote the recovery of GI function after biliary surgery, both of which are the basis and key for perioperative care and postoperative recovery.
    Aim: To better understand the effects of Modified Xiao-Cheng-Qi decoction (MXD) on inflammatory response and GI function in the perioperative management of cholelithiasis and their correlation.
    Methods: This was a prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial, in which 162 patients who received biliary tract surgery were randomly assigned to three groups: MXD group, XD group, and placebo-control group. The observed parameters included frequency of bowel sounds, time of first flatus and defecation, time of diet, and amount of activity after surgery. The serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, serum amyloid A protein (SAA), and substance P were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then, the spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the indicators of GI function and inflammation.
    Results: Compared to the placebo-control, improvements in GI function were observed in the MXD groups including reduced incidence of nausea, vomiting, and bloating; and earlier first exhaust time, first defecation time, and feeding time after surgery (
    Conclusion: Treatment with MXD can relieve inflammatory response and improve GI function after surgery. Moreover, there are significant correlations between them. Furthermore, it does not cause serious adverse reactions.

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) has been developed gradually with the advances in surgical laparoscopic techniques. It is technically challenging to perform LPD with portal vein resection and reconstruction.
    Case summary: A 71-year-old female patient was diagnosed with distal cholangiocarcinoma. After preoperative examination and rigorous preoperative preparation, the patient underwent LPD using 3D laparoscopy on July 17, 2018. During the surgery, we found that the tumor invaded the right wall of the portal vein; thus, pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with partial portal vein wall resection was performed. The defect of the portal vein wall was approximately 2.5 cm × 1.0 cm. The hepatic ligamentum teres was excised by laparoscopy and then recanalized
    Conclusion: It is safe and feasible to use the hepatic ligamentum teres patch to repair portal vein in LPD. However, the long-term patency of this technique for venous reconstruction requires further investigation.

    Abstract Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with portal vein (PV) and/or superior mesenteric vein (SMV) resection in patients with pancreaticobiliary malignancy has become a common surgical procedure. There are various grafts currently used for PV and/or SMV reconstruction, but each of these grafts have certain limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to explore novel grafts that have an extensive resource pool, are low cost with good clinical application, and are without immune response rejection or additional damage to patients.
    Aim: To observe the anatomical and histological characteristics of the ligamentum teres hepatis (LTH) and evaluate PV/SMV reconstruction using an autologous LTH graft in pancreaticobiliary malignancy patients.
    Methods: In 107 patients, the post-dilated length and diameter in resected LTH specimens were measured. The general structure of the LTH specimens was observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Collagen fibers (CFs), elastic fibers (EFs), and smooth muscle (SM) were visualized by Verhoeff-Van Gieson staining, and the expression of CD34, factor VIII-related antigen (FVIIIAg), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) were detected using immunohistochemistry in LTH and PV (control) endothelial cells. PV and/or SMV reconstruction using the autologous LTH was conducted in 26 patients with pancreaticobiliary malignancies, and the outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.
    Results: The post-dilated length of LTH was 9.67 ± 1.43 cm, and the diameter at a pressure of 30 cm H
    Conclusion: The anatomical and histological characteristics of LTH were similar to the PV and SMV. As such, the LTH can be used as an autologous graft for PV and/or SMV reconstruction in pancreaticobiliary malignancy patients who require PV and/or SMV resection.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the protective functions of recombinant protein RANK-Fc against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury and clarify its possible mechanism.
    Methods: Sixty male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different treatments: serum-free medium control (Sham) group, target gene retrovirus (RANK-Fc) group and empty vector retrovirus (eGFP) group. All mice were injected with 2.5 ml solution (with or without retrovirus) within 6 seconds via tail vein. After 3 days, the model of 70% hepatic ischemia/reperfusion was induced under warm conditions for 90 minutes after different periods of reperfusion in RANK-Fc and eGFP groups; Sham group underwent the same procedure without the occlusion of blood supply. Blood and liver samples were obtained at different time points (1, 3, 6 and 24 h; n = 5 in each). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the evaluation of eGFP mRNA expression. RANK-Fc was assessed by Western blot. Liver transaminases and histopathological changes were used for the evaluation of hepatic injury. The activity of NF-κB in liver nucleus was analyzed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The activation level of JNK was also assessed by Western blot. Liver homogenate levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Apoptosis was identified by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) analysis. The differences between three treatment groups at each time point were detected by the one-way ANOVA. Statistical analysis for inter-comparison was performed by Student's t test.
    Results: RANK-Fc and eGFP were successfully expressed in liver after hydrodynamics-based transfection. Compared with eGFP group, RANK-Fc significantly improved liver functions at the same time point (P < 0.01), decreased NF-κB nuclear translocation (t = 6.726, P < 0.01)and JNK phosphorylation (t = 6.713, P < 0.01)and obviously suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α (t = 4.779, P < 0.01) and IL-6 (t = 5.482, P < 0.01). Morphological injuries were markedly alleviated while the expressions of immunohistochemical positive cells and TUNEL staining positive cells decreased in RANF-Fc group.
    Conclusion: RANK-Fc has protective functions against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice. Its mechanism is at least partially related with the suppressions of proinflammatory NF-κB and proapoptotic JNK signaling pathways.

    Abstract Aim: To explore a simple method to create intestinal autotransplantation in rats and growing pigs and to investigate the effect of L-arginine supplementation on serum nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and intestinal mucosal NOS and Na+-K+-ATPase activity during cold ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in growing pigs.
    Methods: In adult Wistar rat models of small bowel autotransplantation, a fine tube was inserted into mesenteric artery via the abdominal aorta. The superior mesenteric artery and vein were occluded. Isolated terminal ileum segment was irrigated with Ringer's solution at 4 degrees and preserved in the same solution at 0-4 degrees for 60 min. Then, the tube was removed and reperfusion was established. In growing pig models, a terminal ileum segment, 50 cm in length, was isolated and its mesenteric artery was irrigated via a needle with lactated Ringer's solution at 4 degrees. The method and period of cold preservation and reperfusion were described above. Ten white outbred pigs were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. L-arginine (150 mg/kg) was continuously infused for 15 min before reperfusion and for 30 min after reperfusion in the experimental group. One, 24, 48, and 72 h after reperfusion, peripheral vein blood was respectively collected for NO and NOS determination. At the same time point, intestinal mucosae were also obtained for NOS and Na+-K+-ATPase activity measurement.
    Results: In adult rat models, 16 of 20 rats sustained the procedure, three died of hemorrhage shock and one of deep anesthesia. In growing pig models, the viability of small bowel graft remained for 72 h after cold IR in eight of 10 pigs. In experimental group, serum NO level at 1 and 24 h after reperfusion increased significantly when compared with control group at the same time point (152.2+/-61.4 micromol/L vs 60.8+/-31.6 micromol/L, t=2.802, P=0.02<0.05; 82.2+/-24.0 micromol/L vs 54.0+/-24.3 micromol/L, t=2.490, P=0.04<0.05). Serum NO level increased significantly at 1 h post-reperfusion when compared with the same group before cold IR, 24 and 48 h post-reperfusion (152.2+/-61.4 micromol/L vs 75.6+/-16.2 micromol/L, t=2.820, P=0.02<0.05, 82.2+/-24.0 micromol/L, t=2.760, P=0.03<0.05, 74.2+/-21.9 micromol/L, t=2.822, P=0.02<0.05). Serum NOS activity at each time point had no significant difference between two groups. In experimental group, intestinal mucosal NOS activity at 1 h post-reperfusion reduced significantly when compared with pre-cold IR (0.79+/-0.04 U/mg vs 0.46+/-0.12 U/mg, t=3.460, P=0.009<0.01). Mucosal NOS activity at 24, 48, and 72 h post-reperfusion also reduced significantly when compared with pre-cold IR (0.79+/-0.04 U/mg vs 0.57+/-0.14 U/mg, t=2.380, P=0.04<0.05, 0.61+/-0.11 U/mg, t=2.309, P=0.04<0.05, 0.63+/-0.12 U/mg, t=2.307, P=0.04<0.05). In control group, mucosal NOS activity at 1 and 24 h post-reperfusion was significantly lower than that in pre-cold IR (0.72+/-0.12 U/mg vs 0.60+/-0.07 U/mg, t=2.320, P=0.04<0.05, 0.58+/-0.18 U/mg, t=2.310, P=0.04<0.05). When compared to the normal value, Na+-K+-ATPase activity increased significantly at 48 and 72 h post-reperfusion in experimental group (2.48+/-0.59 micromol/mg vs 3.89+/-1.43 micromol/mg, t=3.202, P=0.04<0.05, 3.96+/-0.86 micromol/mg, t=3.401, P=0.009<0.01) and control group (2.48+/-0.59 micromol/mg vs 3.58+/-0.76 micromol/mg, t=2.489, P=0.04<0.05, 3.67+/-0.81 micromol/mg, t=2.542, P=0.03<0.05).
    Conclusion: This novel technique for intestinal autotransplantation provides a potentially consistent and practical model for experimental studies of graft cold preservation. L-arginine supplementation during cold IR may act as a useful adjunct to preserve the grafted intestine.
