From the March of 1993 to the May of 1994, we had performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for 200 patients of the age ranged 19-77 years. In these cases, 12 had previous abdominal surgery; 3 cases had hepatic cysts; 11 cases had stones in the neck of gall bladders. We had successfully performed LC for 190 cases (95%). But we also had some unsuccesful experiences, including accidental injury to the stomach or duodenum, and bleeding from cystic arteris of the gallbladder. Operation (LC) was abandoned in one patient because of severe cardiac arrhyshmia developed during operation, and billiary tract injury was found postoperatively in three patients with no postoperative death. The operative indications and technical problems of LC are discussed in detail and measures in avoiding injury to billiary or GI tract from LC are introduced.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of gallbladder stone in dialysis patients, determine whether it is higher than that in the general population, find out the difference of prevalence between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients, and analyzes the possible causes. MethodsWe analyzed the prevalence of gallbladder stone in 358 dialysis patients (126 cases of hemodialysis and 232 cases of peritoneal dialysis) followed up in our hospital from January 2009 to October 2012. And we compared it with 376 patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease stage 5 (CKD5) and the general population. ResultsThe prevalence of gallbladder stone in dialysis patients followed up in our hospital was 23.5%, which was higher than CKD5 patients (P=0.002). The prevalence was significantly greater in dialysis patients than that in the general population (P<0.000 5). In the dialysis patients who were younger than sixty years old, the prevalence of gallbladder stone in peritoneal dialysis patients was obviously higher than that in the hemodialysis patients (P<0.05). The albumin level was significantly lower in peritoneal dialysis patients than in the hemodialysis patients. At the same time, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, and the ratio of low density lipoprotein to high density lipoprotein were much higher with statistical significance. Logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age (OR=2.581, P=0.001), female (OR=2.554, P=0.000), the primary disease (diabetes mellitus) (OR=1.947, P=0.044) and dialysis period (OR=1.000, P=0.006) were risk factors for gallbladder stone in dialysis patients. ConclusionThe prevalence of gallbladder stone in dialysis patients is higher than that in the general population. Peritoneal dialysis patients have more risk factors to get gallbladder stone than hemodialysis patients. Risk factors for gallbladder stone in dialysis patients are increasing age, female, primary disease (diabetes mellitus), dyslipidemia, hypoalbuminemia, long dialysis period and so on.
Objective To study the feasibility of radical resection of gallbladder cancer with extensive invasion. Methods A patient of the gallbladder cancer with invasion of liver, gastric antrum, duodenum, caput pancreatis and colon transversum, was received radical resection (including pancreatoduodenectomy, hepatectomy and colectomy). Results Seven months later, the value of CEA and Hb were normal and cancer recurrence was not observed. Conclusion The radical resection of gallbladder cancer with extensive invasion, can improve survival quality and extent survival time.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the expression of tumor growth tactor β1 (TGFβ1) and p27 in gallbladder carcinoma and their relation to the development of the carcinoma. Methods The expression of TGF-β1 and p27 in 36 cases of gallbladder carcinoma was detected by SP immunohistochemical staining. Twenty cases of chronic cholecystitis were collected as control. Results The positive rate of TGF-β1 （63.9%） was higher than that of the control （10.0%），P＜0.05， and the positive rate of p27 (47.2%) was lower than that of the control 100%(P＜0.05). The positive rate of TGF-β1 was significantly higher in metastasis or Nevin Ⅳ～Ⅴ stage cases than that of non-metastasis or Nevin Ⅰ～Ⅲ stage cases 33.3% (P＜0.05). The positive rate of p27 was statistically higher in moderate and highly differentiation (60.9%), nonmetastasis (75.0%) or Nevin’s Ⅰ～Ⅲ stage (75.0%) cases than those of poor differentiation (23.0%), metastasis (33.3%) and Nevin Ⅳ～Ⅴ stage (33.3%) cases (P＜0.05). The expression of p27 was negatively correlated with that of TGF-β1(r=-0.4473，P＜0.05). There was significant difference in survival time between patients with TGF-β1 positive and TGF-β1 negative（P＜0.05）. The difference was also found between patients with p27 positive and p27 negative. Conclusion The upregulation of TGF-β1 and downregulation of p27 in gallbladder carcinoma indicates the imbalance of TGF-β1/p27 system, which may play a role in the carcinogenesis and predict the malignant behaviors of the carcinoma.
【Abstract】Objective To study the regulatory ability of peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor γ(PPARγ) ligands to the inflammatory response in human gallbladder epithelial cells. Methods Culture human gallbladder epithelial cells and identify them . Cells were treated for 24 hours with 0, 10 μmol/L, 20 μmol/L, 30 μmol/L, 50 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L of Ciglitazone during cellular growth peak(5th day), then stimulated them with hIL-1β 5 ng/ml for 2 hours and measured the concentration of IL-6、IL-8 and TNF-α in cellular supernatants by riadioimmunoassay. Results Contrasted with control group, the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in each test group were inhibited （P＜0.001）. The IL-6 and IL-8 levels were gradually dropped and corelated with the dosage of Cigtitazone, and manifested dosagedependence (P＜0.001). The concentration of TNF-α could not be measured. Conclusion PPARγ ligands can inhibit the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in human gallbladder epithelial cells and probably produce effect in the regulation of cholecystic inflammation.

Objective To study the expressions of human ether-a-go-go related gene (HERG) in CD1 mice gallbladder and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and explore their possible implications. Methods The expression of HERG protein in gallbladder tissue slices obtained from CD1 mice was detected by immunohistochemistry method. The expression of HERG mRNA in gallbladder tissue was detected by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. The production of HERG protein was confirmed in the CD1 mice gallbladder by Western blot. Enzymatically dispersed cells were identified as ICC using the specific ICC marker c-kit antibody, and the double positive cells of c-kit and HERG were observed by laser passing confocal microscope. Results HERG was present in the CD1 mice gallbladder tissues for the yellow or buffy positive reaction. At the same time, the expression of mRNA specific for the HERG gene and production of HERG protein in the CD1 mice gallbladder tissues were indicated by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. Using double labeling of anti-c-kit and anti-HERG, the double positive cells of c-kit and HERG were observed in the CD1 mice ICC by laser passing confocal microscope. Conclusion The study demonstrates that HERG is present in the CD1 mice gallbladder tissues and ICC, which is likely related to the pacemaking activity of ICC.
To study the expressions of CA19-9 and CA125 and their clinicopathologic significancesin gallbladder adenocarcinoma , pericancerous tissues and chronic cholecystitis. Methods EnVisionTM immunohistochemist ry was used for assaying the expressive levels of CA1929 and CA125 in the routinely paraffin2embedded sections of specimens f rom gallbladder adenocarcinoma ( n = 108) , pericancerous tissues ( n = 46) , and chronic cholecystitis ( n = 35) . Results The positive rates of CA19-9 and CA125 were significantly higher in gallbladder adenocarcinoma ( 49. 1 % , 51. 9 %) than those in pericancerous tissues ( 26. 1 % , 15. 2 %) and chronic cholecystitis(14. 3 % , 5. 7 %) , respectively ( Plt; 0. 01) . The positive rates of CA19-9 and CA125 were significantly lower in thecases of adenomatous canceration , maximal diameter lt; 2 cm , no-metastasis of lymph node and no-invasion of regional tissues than those in the ones of low-differentiated adenocarcinoma , maximal diameter ≥2 cm , metastasis oflymph node and invasion of regional tissues ( Plt; 0. 05 , Plt; 0. 01 ) . The consistence of CA19-9 and CA125 expressivelevels was found in gallbladder adenocarcinoma (χ2 = 44. 69 , Plt; 0. 01) . Conclusion The expressions of CA19-9 andCA125 may be important tumor markers to reflect the carcinogenesis , progression , biological behaviors and prognosis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
Objective To study the relation between retinoblastoma (Rb) gene expression and biological characteristics of gallbladder carcinoma. Methods The expression of Rb protein in tissues of 41 cases of gallbladder carcinoma, 7 cases of gallbladder papilloma, and 14 cases of cholecystitis were detected by immunohistochemical staining of SP with polyclonal antibody. Results The rate of positive staining was 58.7% in gallbladder carcinoma which was significantly lower than that in cholecystitis and gallbladder papilloma (100%). There was a significant difference of Rb protein expression among the low, moderate and high differentiations and so was between S5, S4, S1, S2 and S3 stage (Ｐ＜0.05). Conclusion It sugests that expression or non-expression of Rb gene is closely related to the malignant potential invasiveness and prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma.
Objective To study the expression of p16 and Rb gene in primary gallbladder carcinoma (PGC). MethodsFiftysix cases of PGC and 26 of gallbladder benign lesions were observed by immunohistochemistry (SP). ResultsThe positive rates of p16 and Rb protein in PGC were 46.3% and 71.4% respectively. No association of Rb expression with histological grade, histological type, invasion, metastasis and prognosis was found. There were close correlation between p16 expression and invasion, metastasis as well as prognosis. The inverse correlation of p16 and Rb gene expression in PGC was confirmed. Conclusion The loss of p16 or Rb gene protein is an important molecular event in PGC,and closely related to the block in the negative regulatory pathway of all cell cycle. The detection of p16 protein may be useful in evaluating biological characteristics and prognosis in PGC.
