METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 68 pancreaticoduodenectomies performed between 5/2000 and 12/2005 with end-to-side duct-to-mucosa pancreatojejunostomy (PJ). The results of pancreatography, as well as peripancreatic drain volumes, and amylase levels were analyzed. RESULTS: Of 68 pancreatojejunostomies, 48 had no leak by pancreatography and had low-drain amylase (normal); eight had no pancreatographic leak but had elevated drain amylase (parenchymal leak); and 12 had pancreatographic leak and elevated drain amylase (anastomotic leak). Although drain volumes in the parenchymal leak group were significantly elevated at postoperative day (POD) 4, no difference was found at POD 7. Drain amylase level was not significantly different at POD 4. In contrast, at POD 7, the anastomotic-leak group had significantly elevated drain amylase level compared with normal and parenchymalleak groups (14158 + 24083 IU/L vs 89 + 139 IU/L and 1707 + 1515 IU/L, respectively, P = 0.012). CONCLUSION: For pancreatic remnant reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy, a combination of pancreatogram and peripancreatic drain amylase levels can be used to distinguish between parenchymal and anastomotic leakage at pancreatic remnant reconstruction.展开更多

摘要BACKGROUND Bile duct leaks(BDLs)are serious postsurgical adverse events.Typically,conservative management with ab-dominal drainage is the initial treatment option.However,prolonged abdominal drainage without improvement can lead to biliary stricture and delay the optimal timing of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).AIM To identify the optimal timing for ERCP and the period during which clinical observation with conservative management is acceptable,balancing ERCP success and the risk of biliary strictures.METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study involving 448 patients with BDLs between November 2002 and November 2022.The patients were divided into four groups based on the timing of ERCP:3 days,7 days,14 days,and 21 days.The primary outcome was clinical success,defined as the resolution of BDL and related symptoms within 6 months without additional percutaneous drainage,surgery,or death.The secondary outcome was incidence of biliary strictures.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with ERCP success and biliary stricture occurrence.RESULTS In a cohort of 448 consecutive patients diagnosed with BDLs,354 were excluded,leaving 94 patients who underwent ERCP.Clinical success was achieved in 84%of cases(79/94),with a median ERCP timing of 20 days(9.5-35.3 days).Biliary strictures were identified in 29(30.9%)patients.Performing ERCP within 3 weeks,compared to after 3 weeks,was associated with higher success rates[92.0%(46/50)vs 75.0%(33/44),P=0.032]and a lower incidence of biliary stricture incidence[18.0%(9/50)vs 45.5%(20/44),P=0.005].Subsequent multivariate analysis confirmed the association with higher success rates(odds ratio=4.168,P=0.045)and lower biliary stricture rates(odds ratio=0.256,P=0.007).CONCLUSION Performing ERCP for BDLs within 3 weeks may be associated with a higher success rate and a lower biliary stricture rate.If patients with BDLs do not respond to conservative treatment,ERCP is suggested to be performed within 3 weeks.
摘要Dear Editor,The incidence of complications associated with ventriculoperitoneal(VP)shunts ranges from 24%to 47%,with abdominal complications comprising 25%of these cases[1].The shunt may migrate to various body parts,including the abdominal wall,gastrointestinal tract,vagina,bladder,scrotum,mediastinum,and the oral cavity.Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)leakage through the vagina is an uncommon complication of VP shunts;however,its exact incidence remains unknown.Such complications can result in failure of the shunt procedure,often requiring revision or reinsertion in affected patients[2].
摘要Biliary leaks can arise as a consequence of cholecystectomy,liver surgery,liver transplant,or,less frequently,trauma.Early identification and characterization of these leaks are crucial,as they can significantly enhance patient outcomes by reducing morbidity and mortality.Traditionally,surgical repair has been the standard treatment;however,advancements in endoscopic techniques and tools have established endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)as the primary approach for managing these often-complicated cases.Interventions such as sphincterotomy,nasobiliary drainage,and stent placement aim to alleviate the pressure within the bile duct,facilitating depressurization and promoting leak healing.Alongside ERCP,endoscopic ultrasound is playing an increasingly vital role in addressing challenging cases.Ongoing improvements in endoscopic technologies and methodologies offer promising prospects,often minimizing the need for invasive surgical interventions.Nonetheless,the management of biliary leaks continues to pose significant challenges for clinicians.An optimal approach for patients experiencing bile leakage should be determined on a case-by-case basis and discussed within a multidisciplinary team involving radiologists,endoscopists,and surgeons.This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the role of endoscopy in the management of various types of biliary leaks,providing clinicians with practical insights to navigate this complex field.

摘要Sound speed is essential for leakage detection in liquid pipelines when using acoustic methods,which can be significantly influenced by gas bubbles generated from leakage.The propagation characteristics and mechanism of acoustic waves in horizontal liquid pipelines containing gas bubbles are studied in detail in the present paper.The effect of sound wave frequency,bubble size and bubble distribution pattern on sound speed is studied through numerical simulations.The results show that the acoustic wave generated by leakage of liquid pipelines containing gas bubbles is a multi-frequency signal,and the energy of the signal is mainly concentrated within 200 Hz.In the low-frequency range,the propagation of sound waves has almost no dispersion in bubbly liquid.Sound speed at a certain void fraction is not constant,which is related to the bubble size and distribution pattern.The bubble size affects the gasliquid heat transfer equilibrium,during which sound speed is affected.For this reason,a thermodynamic correction factor is proposed,which enables the accuracy of the sound speed calculation to reach98.2%.What's more,sound speed increases non-linearly with the reduction of the bubble distribution space in the pipeline axial direction.This paper establishes a theoretical calculation model of sound speed based on the bubble distribution pattern in the pipeline axial direction,which is in good agreement with the numerical calculation results.The results of this paper provide the basis for applying acoustic leak detection technology in liquid pipelines containing gas bubbles.
摘要Post-esophagectomy anastomotic leak(AL)is a severe complication following esophagectomy,contributing to increased morbidity,prolonged hospitalization,and a significant risk of mortality.Endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure(EndoVac)has emerged as a promising first-line treatment,offering a highly effective approach for managing post-esophagectomy AL.EndoVac therapy utilizes continuous negative pressure within the esophageal lumen or mediastinal cavity,promoting granulation tissue formation,accelerating wound healing,and enhancing AL closure rates.Compared to stenting,EndoVac provides distinct advantages,including superior adaptability to varying leak sizes and locations,enhanced secretion drainage,and lower rates of reintervention.Clinical studies have demonstrated higher success rates,decreased post-intervention complications,and shorter hospital stays.Despite its advantages,challenges persist in patient selection,procedural expertise,and accessibility.EndoVac application requires experienced endoscopic teams and multidisciplinary expertise,which is best achieved in high-volume centers with specialized care.Variability in EndoVac protocols necessitate further refinement and standardization to optimize treatment outcomes.The integration of EndoVac into standardized treatment guidelines holds promise for improving patient outcomes and redefining the management approach for this challenging postoperative complication.

摘要Memory leak is a common software vulnerability that can decrease the reliability of an application and,in severe cases,even cause program crashes.If there are intentionally triggerable memory leak vulnerabilities in a program,attackers can exploit these bugs to launch denial-of-service attacks or induce the program to exhibit unexpected behaviors due to low memory conditions.Existing fuzzing techniques primarily focus on improving code coverage,and specialized fuzzing techniques for individual memory-related defects like uncontrolled memory allocation do not address memory leak vulnerabilities.MemLock is the first fuzzing technique to address memory consumption vulnerabilities including memory leakage.However,the coverage-centric guidance mechanism of MemLock introduces a degree of aimlessness in the testing process,that results in low seed quality and slow bug exposure speed.To address this issue,we propose a risk areas guidance-based fuzzing technique called RBZZER.First,RBZZER retains MemLock’s memory consumption-guided mechanism and introduces a novel distance-guided approach to expedite the arrival of fuzzing at the potential memory areas.Second,we introduce a new seed scheduling strategy called risk areas-based seed scheduling,which classifies seeds based on potential memory leak areas in the program and further schedules them,thereby effectively improving the efficiency of discovering memory leak vulnerabilities.Experiments demonstrate that RBZZER outperforms the state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques by finding 52%more program unique crashes than the second-best counterpart.In particular,RBZZER can discover the amount of memory leakage at least 112%more than the other baseline fuzzers.Besides,RBZZER detects memory leaks at an average speed that is 9.10x faster than MemLock.
摘要Gastrointestinal(GI)tract defects can be classified into three distinct entities:Leak,perforation,and fistula.Each arises from different mechanisms and is managed accordingly.Leaks occur most often after surgery,while perforations arise due to flexible endoscopic maneuvers.Fistulae arise from a variety of mechanisms,including specific disease states.Endoscopic management is vital in treating such defects if the region of interest can be accessed with the appropriate endoscopic accessories.The primary goal of endoscopic therapy is to interrupt the flow of luminal contents across a GI defect.Considering the proper endoscopic approach to luminal closure,several basic principles must be considered.Outcomes are dependent on the size and exact location of the leak/fistula,as well as the viability of the surrounding tissue.Almost all complex leaks and fistulae must be approached in a multidisciplinary manner,collaborating with colleagues in nutrition,radiology,and surgery.With advances in technology,a myriad of devices and accessories are available that allow a tailored approach.In this review,we discuss these modalities,provide technical tips,and review published outcomes data regarding each approach,as well as practical considerations for the successful closure of these defects.
摘要Bile duct leak(BDL)is a common complication of hepatobiliary surgery,including cholecystectomy,hepatic resection,and liver transplantation.Timely recognition and effective management are essential to prevent serious complications such as peritonitis,intra-abdominal abscesses,and sepsis.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)has become the first-line diagnostic and therapeutic approach.Despite the high overall success rate,the optimal treatment strategies remain a subject of ongoing debate.This review summarizes the existing classification systems and current endoscopic management of BDLs,including drainage strategies,optimal timing of ERCP and stent removal,and approaches for complex cases.

摘要Accurate localization of hazardous gas leaks,like 2-heptanone,is crucial for chemical environment safety.Conventional devices struggle to differentiate similar compounds and ignore airflow effects.This study demonstrates that modifying the interfacial and gas-phase reactivity of metal oxides such as In2O3 enhances gas specificity.Density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that In2O3(222) surfaces strongly adsorb and interact electrochemically with 2-heptanone,boosting interfacial catalytic activity.Gas-phase conversion tests show that In2O3 calcined below 1000℃ reduces interference from other gases,improving selectivity for 2-heptanone.The optimized sensor,using an In2O3 electrode,exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for 2-heptanone.To locate leaks accurately,we developed a wind-aware robot equipped with this sensor.The robot counters airflow effects using light detection and ranging(LiDAR) for spatial mapping and ultrasonic anemometry for wind measurement.By integrating real-time wind-field modeling with a Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(TD3) reinforcement learning algorithm,the robot can interpret chemical signals under fluctuating wind conditions,enabling precise leak localization.Simulations and wind tunnel tests yield localization success rates of 90% and 70%,respectively.This work combines advanced material design,aerodynamic intelligence,and autonomous navigation,providing a practical solution for gas leak detection in complex environments.

摘要Studies have indicated that approximately half of individuals with Crohn’s disease(CD)may undergo surgery at some point during their lifetime.Ileocolic resection(ICR)is the most frequently performed procedure for treating CD.Addressing anastomotic leak(AL)remains a critical focus in the perioperative and postoperative care of CD patients.A research study published in the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery by Cwaliński et al included 77 individuals who had open ICR and primary stapled anastomosis to assess the risk factors linked to anastomotic insufficiency.At present,research on anastomotic insufficiency has focused on AL.Therefore,this editorial mainly analyzes the current risk factors linked to AL after ICR and discusses potential prevention strategies.We comprehensively consider risk factors such as body weight,medication use,surgical history,smoking,penetrating behaviour,and albumin levels to stratify patient risk.Based on recent research insights,we propose that individualized surgical timing,approaches,and techniques should be selected according to the patient's risk level.
摘要BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)leaks in the temporal bone arise from osteodural defects,resulting in an abnormal connection between the subarachnoid space and the adjacent tympanomastoid cavity,which often manifests as otorrhea.Patients typically exhibit symptoms such as headache,unilateral hearing impairment,aural fullness,or even meningitis.Imaging studies are critical for identifying and differentiating the location and characteristics of CSF leaks.However,when the leak's origin remains ambiguous,diagnostic surgery may be warranted to both confirm the diagnosis and facilitate treatment.This report discusses an uncommon case while reviewing relevant literature,focusing on the surgical diagnostic intervention in a 58-year-old male with spontaneous temporal bone CSF leaks.CASE SUMMARY The patient,a 58-year-old man,was admitted for evaluation of left ear fullness,hearing loss,and nasal discharge.Notably,when supine,clear fluid drained from the left nasal cavity,with improvement noted upon sitting.A nasal examination did not reveal significant findings,while the otologic evaluation indicated an intact periosteum;however,considerable fluid accumulation was identified within the left middle ear.Despite undergoing multiple periosteal punctures and conservative medical management,the middle ear effusion persisted.Imaging studies,including magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and computed tomography,confirmed the presence of left-sided CSF otorrhea,and the head MRI indicated potential CSF rhinorrhea.This raised challenges in determining whether the CSF leak originated from the sphenoid sinus or the temporal bone.Given that CSF otorrhea may drain through the external auditory canal and CSF rhinorrhea from the sellar region can present as nasal leakage,differentiation proved complex.In this case,with an intact external auditory canal,CSF from the middle ear was observed to flow into the nasal cavity via the Eustachian tube.Therefore,leakage from both sites could be misconstrued as CSF rhinorrhea,complicating the diagnostic process.Consequently,an exploratory surgical procedure was performed,revealing an incomplete dura mater on the temporal aspect of the petrous bone,which was subsequently repaired.CONCLUSION Benign intracranial hypertension can result in meningeal protrusion or meningoencephalocele,which may lead to CSF leakage that generally responds favorably to mucosal repair.In instances where imaging fails to identify the source of the leak or when diagnostic options are limited,proactive exploratory surgery is advisable.Although surgical interventions carry inherent risks,the application of endoscopic techniques by experienced surgeons renders this approach a feasible choice for addressing both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
摘要BACKGROUND The root of mesentery dissection is one of the critical maneuvers,especially in borderline resectable pancreatic head cancer.Intra-abdominal chyle leak(CL)including chylous ascites may ensue in up to 10%of patients after pancreatic resections.Globally recognized superior mesenteric artery(SMA)first approaches are invariably performed.The mesenteric dissection through the inferior infracolic approach has been discussed in this study emphasizing its post-operative impact on CL which is the cornerstone of this study.AIM To assess incidence,risk factors,clinical impact of CL following root of mesentery dissection,and the different treatment modalities.METHODS This is a retrospective study incorporating the patients who underwent dissection of the root of mesentery with inferior infracolic SMA first approach pancreat-oduodenectomy for the ventral body and uncinate mass of pancreas in the Department of Gastrointestinal and General Surgery of Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital from January 1,2021 to February 28,2024.Intraop-erative findings and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.RESULTS In three years,ten patients underwent root of mesentery dissection with inferior infracolic SMA first approach pancreatoduodenectomy.The mean age was 67.6 years with a male-to-female ratio of 4:5.CL was seen in four patients.With virtue of CL,Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ or higher morbidity was observed in four patients.Two patients had a hospital stay of more than 20 days with the former having a delayed gastric emptying and the latter with long-term total parenteral nutrition requirement.The mean operative time was 330 minutes.Curative resection was achieved in 100%of the patients.The mean duration of the intensive care unit and hospital stay were 2.55±1.45 days and 15.7±5.32 days,respectively.CONCLUSION Root of mesentery dissection with lymphadenectomy and vascular resection correlated with occurrence of CL.After complete curative resection,these were managed with total parenteral nutrition without adversely impacting outcome.
摘要Beneath the soil,roots don’t just soak up water and nutrients-they actively recruit and organize their microbial companions.New research reveals how a tiny amino acid leak can shape underground communities,with implications for plant health and agriculture.
摘要AIM: To distinguish anastomotic from parenchymal leakage at duct-to-mucosa reconstruction of the pancreatic remnant. METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 68 pancreaticoduodenectomies performed between 5/2000 and 12/2005 with end-to-side duct-to-mucosa pancreatojejunostomy (PJ). The results of pancreatography, as well as peripancreatic drain volumes, and amylase levels were analyzed. RESULTS: Of 68 pancreatojejunostomies, 48 had no leak by pancreatography and had low-drain amylase (normal); eight had no pancreatographic leak but had elevated drain amylase (parenchymal leak); and 12 had pancreatographic leak and elevated drain amylase (anastomotic leak). Although drain volumes in the parenchymal leak group were significantly elevated at postoperative day (POD) 4, no difference was found at POD 7. Drain amylase level was not significantly different at POD 4. In contrast, at POD 7, the anastomotic-leak group had significantly elevated drain amylase level compared with normal and parenchymalleak groups (14158 + 24083 IU/L vs 89 + 139 IU/L and 1707 + 1515 IU/L, respectively, P = 0.012). CONCLUSION: For pancreatic remnant reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy, a combination of pancreatogram and peripancreatic drain amylase levels can be used to distinguish between parenchymal and anastomotic leakage at pancreatic remnant reconstruction.
