Background The aim of this study is to clarify whether laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) to treat morbid obesity causes changes in
gastric emptying.
Methods Gastric emptying scintigraphy was performed before and 3 months after LSG, in 21 consecutive morbidly obese patients. After
an overnight fast, subjects consumed a standard semi-solid meal, to which 0.5 mCi Tc 99-labeled sulfur colloid had been added. The meal was consumed within 10 min. Scintigraphic imaging was performed with a gamma
camera immediately after the completion of the meal as well as after 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min. Quantitative and qualitative
analysis was performed by drawing a region of interest (ROI) enclosing the stomach on the anterior and the posterior images.
Time 0 was considered the time of meal completion (all the ingested activity) and was defined as 100% retention. The same
ROI was used on all consecutive images of the same projection for the same patient. The geometric mean of the anterior and
the posterior counts for each time point is calculated and corrected for Tc 99m decay. Gastric emptying curves were constructed. T 1/2 is the time interval between completion of the meal and the point at which half of the meal (by radioactivity counts)
has left the stomach. Retention is expressed as the percent remaining in the stomach at each time point (half, 1, 2, 3, 4 h).
Results The mean T 1/2 raw data was 62.39 ± 19.83 and 56.79 ± 18.72 min ( p = 0.36, t = −0.92, NS) before and 3 months after LSG, respectively. The T 1/2 linear was 103.64 ± 9.82 and 106.92 ± 14.55, ( p = 0.43, t = −0.43, NS), and the linear fit slope 0.48 ± 0.04 and 0.47 ± 0.05 ( p = 0.48, t = 0.7, NS).
Conclusions LSG with antrum preservation as performed in this series has no effect on gastric emptying.

Background Rotational kinematics has become an important consideration after ACL reconstruction because of its possible influence on knee degeneration. However, it remains unknown whether ACL reconstruction can restore both rotational kinematics and normal joint contact patterns, especially during functional activities. Questions/purposes We asked whether knee kinematics (tibial anterior translation and axial rotation) and joint contact mechanics (tibiofemoral sliding distance) would be restored by double-bundle (DB) or single-bundle (SB) reconstruction. Methods We retrospectively studied 17 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction by the SB (n = 7) or DB (n = 10) procedure. We used dynamic stereo x-ray to capture biplane radiographic images of the knee during downhill treadmill running. Tibial anterior translation, axial rotation, and joint sliding distance in the medial and lateral compartments were compared between reconstructed and contralateral knees in both SB and DB groups. Results We observed reduced anterior tibial translation and increased knee rotation in the reconstructed knees compared to the contralateral knees in both SB and DB groups. The mean joint sliding distance on the medial compartment was larger in the reconstructed knees than in the contralateral knees for both the SB group (9.5 ± 3.9 mm versus 7.5 ± 4.3 mm) and the DB group (11.1 ± 1.3 mm versus 7.9 ± 3.8 mm). Conclusions Neither ACL reconstruction procedure restored normal knee kinematics or medial joint sliding. Clinical Relevance Further study is necessary to understand the clinical significance of abnormal joint contact, identify the responsible mechanisms, and optimize reconstruction procedures for restoring normal joint mechanics after ACL injury. 相似文献

Introduction Resection of the capsule of the pancreas is part of the radical operation proposed by oriental authors for the treatment of
gastric cancer. It is unclear; however, if resection of the capsule is a safe procedure or even if it is necessary. This study
aims to assess in patients treated for gastric cancer the occurrence of: (a) pancreatic fistula and (b) metastasis to the
pancreatic capsule.
Methods We studied 80 patients (mean age 61 years, 42 males) submitted to gastrectomy with resection of the pancreatic capsule by
hydrodissection. Patients with pancreatic disease, tumoral invasion of the pancreas, submitted to concomitant splenectomy,
or anastomotic leakage were excluded. The tumor was located in the distal third of the stomach in 60% of the patients, in
the middle third in 27%, and proximally in 12%. Total gastrectomy was performed in 27% of the cases and partial gastrectomy
in 73%. In all patients, amylase activity in the drainage fluid was measured on day 2. If initial measurement was abnormal,
subsequent measurements were performed in alternated days until normalization. Pancreatic fistula was defined as amylase levels
greater than 600. In 25 of these patients (mean age 53 years, 16 males), the pancreatic capsule was histologically analyzed
for metastasis.
Results Pancreatic fistula was diagnosed in eight (10%) patients. The mean amylase level was 5,863. Normalization of amylase levels
was achieved within 7 days in all patients. No patient developed clinical signs of fistula besides abnormal amylase levels
in the drainage fluid, such as intra-abdominal abscesses. Pancreatic fistula was associated to younger age ( p = 0.03) but not to gender ( p = 0.1), tumor location ( p = 0.6), and type of gastrectomy ( p = 0.8). Metastasis to the pancreatic capsule was not identified.
Conclusion In conclusion, resection of the pancreatic capsule must be discouraged due to subclinical pancreatic fistula in a significant
number of the cases and absence of metastasis.

Introduction The implementation of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) has been appropriately met with apprehension, and concerns
exist regarding outcomes early in a program’s experience. We reviewed our early experience and outcomes of LPD. 相似文献

Background: Retrospective [1] studies fail to identify predictors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The authors prospectively studied 17,638 consecutive outpatients who had surgery to identify these predictors. Methods: Data on medical conditions, anesthesia, surgery, and PONV were collected in the post-anesthesia care unit, in the ambulatory surgical unit, and in telephone interviews conducted 24 h after surgery. Multiple logistic regression with backward stepwise elimination was used to develop a predictive model. An independent set of patients was used to validate the model. Results: Age (younger or older), sex (female or male), smoking status (nonsmokers or smokers), previous PONV, type of anesthesia (general or other), duration of anesthesia (longer or shorter), and type of surgery (plastic, orthopedic shoulder, or other) were independent predictors of PONV. A 10-yr increase in age decreased the likelihood of PONV by 13%. The risk for men was on third that for women. A 30-min increase in the duration of anesthesia increased the likelihood of PONV by 59%. General anesthesia increased the likelihood of PONV 11 times compared with other types of anesthesia. Patients with plastic and orthopedic shoulder surgery had a sixfold increase in the risk for PONV. The model predicted PONV accurately and yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.785 +/- 0.011 using an independent validation set. 相似文献

BackgroundInfection after open fractures is a common complication. Treatment options for infections developed after intramedullary nailing surgery remain a topic of controversy. We therefore used a rat fracture model to evaluate the effects of infection on osseous union when the implant was maintained. Questions/purposesIn a rat model, (1) does infection alter callus strength; (2) does infection alter the radiographic appearance of callus; and (3) does infection alter the histological properties of callus? MethodsAn open femoral fracture was created and fixed with an intramedullary Kirschner wire in 72 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, which were divided into two study groups. In the infection group, the fracture site was contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus (36 animals), whereas in the control group, there was no bacterial contamination (36 animals). No antibiotics were used either for prophylaxis or for treatment. We performed biomechanical (maximum torque causing failure and stiffness), radiographic (Lane and Sandhu scoring for callus formation), and histologic (scoring for callus maturity) assessments at 3 and 6 weeks. The number of bacteria colonies on the femur, wire, and soft tissue inside knee were compared to validate that we successfully created an infection model. The number of bacteria colonies in the soft tissue inside the knee was higher in the infection group after 6 weeks than after the third week, demonstrating the presence of locally aggressive infection. ResultsInfection decreased callus strength at 6 weeks. Torque to failure (299.07 ± 65.53 Nmm versus 107.20 ± 88.81, mean difference with 95% confidence interval, 192 [43–340]; p = 0.007) and stiffness at 6 weeks (11.28 ± 2.67 Nmm versus 2.03 ± 1.68, mean difference with 95% confidence interval, 9 [3–16]; p = 0.004) both were greater in the control group than in the group with infection. Radiographic analysis at 6 weeks demonstrated the fracture line was less distinct (Lane and Sandhu score of 2–3) in the infection group and complete union was observed (Lane and Sandhu score of 3–4) in the control group (p = 0.001). Semiquantitative histology scores were not different between the noninfected controls and the rats with infection (score 10 versus 9). ConclusionsRetaining an implant in the presence of an underlying infection without antibiotic treatment leads to weaker callus and impedes callus maturation compared with noninfected controls in a rat model. Future studies might evaluate whether antibiotic treatment would modify this result. Clinical RelevanceThis model sets the stage for further investigations that might study the influence of different interventions on fracture healing in implant-associated osteomyelitis. Future observational studies might also evaluate the histological properties of callus in patients with osteomyelitis. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of an additional ball and socket articulation in implanted knees and whether it can replicate post-cam function. Fifteen knees implanted with a cruciate substituting (CS) polyethylene without a post and ten knees implanted with a posterior stabilized (PS) polyethylene with a post were analyzed using 3D model fitting approach. Two types of designs showed similar posterior translation and similar axial rotation. Most of the contact points at the ball and socket joint stayed within the socket height for the PS group. This study indicates that the ball and socket joint is able to function as a replacement of the post-cam mechanism, which might serve as a new way to achieve posterior stability. 相似文献
