Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discuss a new surgical strategy: Jinling procedure (subtotal colectomy combined with modified Duhamel procedure), of which the indications, technical notes and outcomes were analyzed. METHODS The 590 patients with refractory slow-transit constipation associated with outlet obstruction was strictly included between February 2000 and December 2011. The patients included 103 males and 487 females. Their age were 14-75 years (average 42 ± 13). The 412 patients received laparoscopic-assistant Jinling procedure, and 178 patients with open Jinling procedure. The pre- and post-operation data were collected. The follow up rate were 100%, 98.1%, 95.8% and 92.7% at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. RESULTS There was no surgery-related death. Mean hospital day was (12 ± 9) days. Most complications were managed conservatively without significant events. The common complications after surgery were adhesive intestinal obstruction (9.2%), anastomosis bleeding (8.1%) and anastomosis leakage (2.9%). The gastrointestinal quality of life index score was 72 ± 9 preoperatively and increased to 68 ± 11, 99 ± 6, 105 ± 9, 106 ± 9 at 3, 6, 12 and 24 month follow-up, respectively (t = 62.1, -25.1, -126.5, -143.2, P < 0.01). The Wexner constipation scale was 21.9 ± 4.5 preoperatively and decreased to 9.6 ± 2.4, 5.9 ± 2.1, 4.6 ± 1.9, 4.5 ± 1.8 at 3, 6, 12 and 24 month follow-up, respectively (t = 48.6, 61.8, 58.2, 45.9, P < 0.01). The satisfactory rate was 77.5%, 92.1%, 93.0% and 94.1% at 3, 6, 12, and 24 month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Jinling procedure provides a good surgical option for refractory slow-transit constipation associated with outlet obstruction.

Temporary rapid bowel ligation as a damage control adjunct improves survival in a hypothermic traumatic shock swine model with multiple bowel perforations. J Surg Res 2012; 179:e157-65. [PMID: 22480840 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2012.01.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2011] [Revised: 12/23/2011] [Accepted: 01/20/2012] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] [Imported: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary intestinal anastomosis is not the right choice for multiple bowel perforations under hemodynamically stable conditions. Our group has employed temporary rapid bowel ligation as a damage control procedure in a hypothermic traumatic shock swine model with multiple bowel perforations and hypothesized that damage control treatment would improve survival in the setting of a damage control surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The abdomen was shot one time with an experimental modified gun while pigs were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mm Hg and maintained in shock for 40 min. Cold lactated Ringer solution was gradually infused to induce hypothermia. Animals were randomized to control (no resuscitation), primary anastomosis (PA), or temporary rapid bowel ligation (damage control group, DC). Animals were resuscitated for 12 h with the shed blood and lactated Ringer solution. Delayed anastomosis was performed in DC animals after resuscitation. Surviving animals were humanely killed 24 h after operation. Systemic hemodynamic parameters were recorded and blood samples were obtained for biochemical assays. The lung and ileum was harvested at the end of the experiment for pathologic evaluation and test of wet/dry weight ratio, TNF-α level, and nuclear factor-κB activations. RESULTS All animals suffered extreme physiologic conditions: hypothermia, severe acidosis, hypotension, and depressed cardiac output. Control animals suffered 100% mortality. Compared with the PA group, DC animals required less resuscitation fluid, normalized lactate levels faster, had lower serum creatine kinase, aspartate amino transferase levels and tissue TNF-α level and nuclear factor-κB activations, suffered less severe histopathology, had greater early survival. CONCLUSIONS Multiple bowel perforations under hemodynamically stable conditions seem better managed with DC than with PA. Temporary rapid bowel ligation as a damage control adjunct is important to rapid control of multiple bowel perforations instead of a prolonged operative time.

The effect of intra-abdominal hypertension incorporating severe acute pancreatitis in a porcine model. PLoS One 2012; 7:e33125. [PMID: 22403734 PMCID: PMC3293917 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0033125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2011] [Accepted: 02/06/2012] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] [Imported: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra abdominal hypertension(IAH) are common clinical findings in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). It is thought that an increased intra abdominal pressure(IAP) is associated with poor prognosis in SAP patients. But the detailed effect of IAH/ACS on different organ system is not clear. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of SAP combined with IAH on hemodynamics, systemic oxygenation, and organ damage in a 12 h lasting porcine model. Measurements and Methods Following baseline registrations, a total of 30 animals were divided into 5 groups (6 animals in each group): SAP+IAP30 group, SAP+IAP20 group, SAP group, IAP30 group(sham-operated but without SAP) and sham-operated group. We used a N2 pneumoperitoneum to induce different levels of IAH and retrograde intra-ductal infusion of sodium taurocholate to induce SAP. The investigation period was 12 h. Hemodynamic parameters (CO, HR, MAP, CVP), urine output, oxygenation parameters(e.g., SvO2, PO2, PaCO2), peak inspiratory pressure, as well as serum parameters (e.g., ALT, amylase, lactate, creatinine) were recorded. Histological examination of liver, intestine, pancreas, and lung was performed. Main Results Cardiac output significantly decreased in the SAP+IAH animals compared with other groups. Furthermore, AST, creatinine, SUN and lactate showed similar increasing tendency paralleled with profoundly decrease in SvO2. The histopathological analyses also revealed higher grade injury of liver, intestine, pancreas and lung in the SAP+IAH groups. However, few differences were found between the two SAP+IAH groups with different levels of IAP. Conclusions Our newly developed porcine SAP+IAH model demonstrated that there were remarkable effects on global hemodynamics, oxygenation and organ function in response to sustained IAH of 12 h combined with SAP. Moreover, our model should be helpful to study the mechanisms of IAH/ACS-induced exacerbation and to optimize the treatment strategies for counteracting the development of organ dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypertonic saline (HTS) solution resuscitation has been used in a variety of clinical settings. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of HTS resuscitation on hemodynamics, systemic oxygenation, and organ damage in a porcine model of severe acute pancreatitis. METHODS Eighteen anesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs were divided into 3 groups: HTS group, lactated Ringer solution (LR) group, and sham-operated group. Severe acute pancreatitis was induced in the first 2 groups by injecting 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct, and the investigation period was 12 hours. Hemodynamic parameters, urine output, oxygenation parameters, and serum parameters were recorded consecutively. Finally, histologic examinations of the kidney, intestine, pancreas, and lung were performed. RESULTS In the HTS group, cardiac output decreased less significantly compared with the LR group. Furthermore, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and lactate levels increased significantly in all animals with severe acute pancreatitis, but the increasing tendency was slower in the HTS group. Nevertheless, the histopathologic analysis revealed similar injuries of the kidney, intestine, pancreas, and lung between the HTS and LR groups. CONCLUSIONS Early administration of HTS generally improves hemodynamics and peripheral oxygenation. Despite these normalized parameters, organ damage could not be diminished to a significant degree during observation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose a novel surgical procedure for refractory constipation, namely Jinling procedure, and to explore its safety and efficacy through long-term follow-up. METHODS A total of 614 patients with refractory constipation were admitted to the Department of General Surgery between February 2000 and June 2011. Five hundred and fifty-four patients received Jinling procedure and were included in this study. The general clinical data, complications after Jinling procedure, gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), Wexner constipation scale and satisfaction rate during follow-up were collected. RESULTS No operation-associated death occurred. Increased bowel movement frequency was observed during the perioperative period. Temporary difficulty in urination occurred in 24.5% of the patients. Other complications included small bowel obstruction (9.6%), anastomotic bleeding (8.1%), anastomotic leakage (3.1%), sexual dysfunction (3.1%), and wound infection (3.1%). Most postoperative complications were managed conservatively. The most recent follow-up was on August 2011, and the follow-up rate was 100%, 88.8%, 75.1%, 56.3% at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. GIQLI temporarily increased from 78.1±9.4 preoperatively to 92.0±9.5 at 3 months follow-up, but continued to decrease during the follow-up at the 6 months (48.4±14.1), 12 months (21.0±4.3), and 24 months (20.0±3.4). Wexner constipation scale decreased from 19.9±4.3 preoperatively to 8.4±2.1 at 3 months follow-up (P<0.01). The low Wexner scale sustained until 24 months after operation. The satisfaction rate at the 3, 6,12 and 24 months follow-up was 78.1%, 91.1%, 94.2% and 94.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION Jinling procedure provides refractory constipation patients with a novel, safe and effective surgical option.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anatomy and functional changes of pelvis before and after Jinling procedure (subtotal colectomy and side-to-side colorectal anastomosis) using defecography. METHODS Fifty patients with refractory mixed constipation received Jinling procedure in the Jinling Hospital between March 2009 and December 2010 and were included in this prospective study. The defecography was performed at one week before surgery and 6 months after Jinling procedure. Longo outlet obstructed score, Wexner constipation score and Wexner incontinence score were also recorded before and after the procedure. RESULTS After 6 months follow-up, defecography showed that anterior rectocele, prolapse, intussusception, and descending perineum were significantly improved (P<0.01). Anterior rectoceles were significantly reduced in depth from 22.0±1.8 mm to 2.4±0.4 mm (P<0.01). Intussusception decreased from 1.9±0.4 cm to 0.4±0.5 cm (P<0.01). Compared with preoperative score, Longo score and Wexner constipation score were significantly improved from 17.6±3.8 to 5.3±2.0 and from 19.5±4.8 to 5.5±2.4, respectively (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Jinling procedure can correct the anatomy and functional pelvic disorders in mixed constipation. Clinical improvement of obstructed defecation syndrome after Jinling procedure correlates well with morphologic correction of the rectal redundancy.

Prolonged indwelling time of temporary vascular shunts is associated with increased endothelial injury in the porcine mesenteric artery. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2011; 70:1464-70.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) have been used as a damage control surgery (DCS) adjuncts in superior mesenteric artery (SMA) injuries, both experimentally and clinically. However, no study to date has evaluated the relationship between shunt indwelling time and resultant endothelial cell (EC) injury. We hypothesized that prolonged use of TIVS in SMA injuries would jeopardize EC integrity. METHOD After laparotomy, the SMA was clamped and transected while pigs were hemorrhaged to 40 mm Hg for 30 minutes. A TIVS was inserted between transected ends of the SMA without systemic anticoagulation. Totally, 24 animals were resuscitated and randomized to different shunt indwelling time groups: A, 3 hours; B, 6 hours; C, 9 hours; and D, 12 hours. Patency of shunts was monitored and recorded. Continuous wave Doppler was used as a determinant of adequacy of flow through the shunts. Transmural SMA biopsies from areas of TIVS placement were examined with electron microscopy for histopathologic injury after staining with hematoxylin and eosin and immunofluorescence using a validated histopathologic injury score (minimum-maximum score: 0-4). RESULTS Severity of endothelial injury was observed to be directly related to shunt indwell time. SMA transmural biopsies harvested from group D animals showed the most profound injury, demonstrating extensive EC denudations and marked intimal rupture (injury grade, 3.4 ± 0.2). Sections from group A animals revealed the mildest EC injury (1.3 ± 0.3 vs. group D p < 0.01). No significant difference was detected between group A and B. EC injury grade in group C (2.7 ± 0.6) was higher than that in group B (1.8 ± 0.6) but did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.58). CONCLUSION When possible, vascular reconstruction following use of shunts should include an interposition graft after debridement of the arterial edges having interfaced with the shunt. Finally, to minimize intimal injury to the native vessel, this model suggests that indwell times of shunts should be <9 hours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop an animal model in rats and to investigate whether an intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) of 20 mm Hg will lead to a condition comparable with the abdominal compartment syndrome in humans. METHODS Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were used. In the study group, IAP was increased to 20 mm Hg using a nitrogen gas pneumoperitoneum for 4 hours. We also observed the next reperfusion period for another 4 hours. In the controls, IAP remained unchanged. Hemodynamic readings, peak inspiratory pressure, renal function parameters, and blood gas were obtained. Additionally, histopathologic examinations were performed. RESULTS In the presence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), mean arterial pressure was reduced, whereas central venous pressure was increased significantly. Peak inspiratory pressure remained >35 mbar in the 4 hours of IAH and recovered after decompression. Arterial Po(2) decreased substantially while Pco(2) increased soon after IAH. IAH caused a metabolic acidosis, which was further complicated by the respiratory acidosis. Decompression resulted in normocapnia but the metabolic acidosis persisted. Renal blood flow and urine output decreased obviously, whereas little change was found in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. The histopathologic study revealed parenchymal injury in lung and intestine. CONCLUSIONS This animal model was simple and easily reproducible. An IAP of 20 mm Hg can lead to a condition comparable with the abdominal compartment syndrome in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to trace the peripheral artery velocity with ultrasound in pigs and provide inference on diagnosis of the type, location and severity of vascular diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Limb tightening, adrenaline administration and arterial wall pinching were performed independently in six pigs, and then the evolution of the external iliac artery or femoral artery velocity tracing were monitored. RESULTS With the increase of the extents of hindlimb tightening, peak systolic velocity (PSV) of ipsilateral external iliac artery turned from 36.33±1.77 cm/s to 59.72±2.67 cm/s, minimum post-principal wave velocity (MPV from 13.68±1.11 cm/s to -7.48±0.82 cm/s, peak diastolic velocity (PDV) from 19.31±0.86 cm/s to 8.98±0.45 cm/s, and, end diastolic velocity (EDV) from 13.2±0.45 cm/s to 0. With the increase of the dose of the epinephrine injection, PSV increased from 36.33±1.77 cm/s to 43.97±2.15 cm/s but then decreased to 35.43±3.01 cm/s, and MPV negatively increased to -23.53±0.82 cm/s after decreasing from 13.68±1.11 cm/s to 0. PDV and EDV gradually decreased to zero. With the increase of the stenosis severity in the abdominal aortic wall pinching, PSV was reduced and had a linearly negative correlation with the stenosis severity (R=0.983, R2=0.967). MPV gradually increased, and its direction reversed when the stenosis severity increased, then diminished when the blood flow was occluded by more than 2/3. CONCLUSIONS The formation of peripheral artery velocity is the result of concurrent effects of cardiac ejection, vascular resistance, effective circulating blood volume and elastic recoil. Vascular resistance exerts pronounced effects on the diastolic waveform, and the occurrence of backward wave indicates that the downstream circulation resistance significantly increases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of liquid resuscitation on acid-base balance and electrolytes of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS According to the target of liquid resuscitation, 22 patients with SAP involved in this self-controlled prospective study received sufficient liquid resuscitation in acute stage of acute pancreatitis. The results of blood gas analysis, acid-base balance and electrolytes were compared before and after liquid resuscitation. The correlation between the volume of liquid used in resuscitation and the level of blood chlorine was analyzed. RESULTS The mean resuscitation duration was (15.0±2.4) hours, and the volume of liquid resuscitation was 3 4594 203 ml, with mean volume (3 910± 102) ml in 22 patients; blood sodium (mmol/L) and chlorine (mmol/L) levels were both significantly higher after resuscitation compared with those before resuscitation (Na(+): 145.83±1.85 vs. 139.67±2.25, Cl(-): 117.33±1.64 vs. 101.83±1.77, both P<0.05). Blood pH value, hematocrit (Hct), anion gap (AG, mmol/L), blood lactic acid (mmol/L) were slightly lowered after resuscitation (pH value: 7.39±0.02 vs. 7.42±0.02, Hct: 35.63±1.58 vs. 46.85±2.38, AG: 8.02±1.21 vs. 14.47±0.89, blood lactic acid: 1.10±0.18 vs. 1.97±0.15, P<0.05 or P <0.01). In addition, the level of blood chlorine was significantly correlated with the volume of liquid used in resuscitation (r=0.720 8,P<0.01). CONCLUSION The target of liquid resuscitation in patients with SAP should be cautiously determined, including control of the volume of liquid for resuscitation, in order to avoid acid-base imbalance or hyperchloraemia. At the same time, the change in internal environment should be monitored.

Abstract
AIMS To compare retrospectively the clinical outcomes in patients treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) using the novel polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stents (Fluency) and bare stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty consecutive patients with portal hypertension treated with TIPS from April 2007 to April 2009 were included. TIPS creation was performed with Fluency stent grafts in 30 patients (group A) and with bare stents in 30 patients (group B). Liver function, TIPS patency and clinical outcomes were evaluated every 3 months after procedures. RESULTS During hospitalization, there were no cases of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and recurrence of variceal bleedings. Acute shunt occlusion was found in one patient in each group. Follow-ups were performed in group A with average time of 6.16 +/- 3.89 months and in group B with 8.34 +/- 4.42 months. The rates of recurrent bleeding, shunt occlusion, HE and mortality were 0.03, 0.0, 16.7 and 0% in group A, and 20.0, 30.0, 20.0 and 13.3% in group B, respectively. There was no difference of HE between group A and group B. The decrease of portal pressure and portosystemic pressure gradient, and the increase of portal flow were 34.1 and 23.3%, 60.0 and 52.8%, and 189.5 and 111.1% in group A and B, respectively. There were no differences of liver function between group A and B. CONCLUSION The Fluency stent graft is relatively safe and effective in TIPS creation, with a high patency rate compared with bare stents.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of a modified transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (MTIPS) in the treatment of the Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS, occlusion of the hepatic veins). METHODS Eleven patients with severe BCS were selected for MTIPS treatment. Three patients had an acute history (< 2 months) and eight had a subacute or a chronic course of the disease. All patients were associated with variceal bleeding and massive ascites. The diagnosis of BCS was established by duplex sonography, computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography of hepatic veins and inferior vena cava, and liver biopsy. The shunt was established using conventional self-expandable stents with diameter of 10 cm in all patients. The mean follow-up was 60.55 +/- 42.76 months. RESULTS The shunt reduced the portosystemic pressure gradient from 30.32 +/- 7.69 to 9.08 +/- 3.43 mmHg and improved the portal flow velocity from 11.24 +/- 2.75 to 52.16 +/- 13.68 cm/s. Clinical symptoms as well as the biochemical test results improved significantly during 3 weeks after shunt treatment except for one death caused by hepatic failure. Ten patients are alive without clinical symptoms. Three revisions in two patients were needed during the follow-up. The inflation of stenosised shunt was performed in one patient, and the inflation of stenosised shunt and the reimplantation of stent in another patient. The other eight patients had no revisions. CONCLUSIONS Modified transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt provides an excellent outcome in patients with BCS (occlusion of the hepatic veins). It may be regarded as an option for the acute and long-term managements of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporary ligation, primary anastomosis, and temporary shunt have been reported to deal with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) injuries. We aimed to investigate which brought minimal ischemia reperfusion injury in a hypothermic traumatic shock swine model. METHODS SMA was completely clamped while pigs were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 40 mm Hg. Animals were then randomized into temporary ligation (A, n=8), primary anastomosis (B, n=8), temporary shunt (C, n=8), and control groups (n=4). Animals in group A remained SMA interrupted for additional 1h while the other groups underwent the corresponding procedures immediately. Intestine injury was assessed by histologic examination and measurement of lipid peroxidations at the end of ischemia and experiment. RESULTS Overall mortality rate was 50%, 25%, and 0% in groups A, B, and C, respectively (P<0.05). The total intestine ischemia time was predominantly shorter in group C in the other groups. Remarkable elevations of malonaldehyde (MDA) in small intestine were noted after reperfusion in group A. Animals in other groups, however, did not exacerbate during the 6-h reperfusion (resuscitation period). Group C showed the lowest MDA level at the end of experiment. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels showed no significant elevations during the ischemia or early reperfusion period; nevertheless, it reached approximately 3- to 6-fold in groups A and B (compared with baseline, P<0.01), and remained unchanged in group C at the end of experiment. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that temporary shunt insertion might be preferred as it shortens ischemia time, alleviates intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury, and thus decreases early mortality in this animal model.

Temporary intravascular shunting improves survival in a hypothermic traumatic shock swine model with superior mesenteric artery injuries. Surgery 2009; 147:79-88. [PMID: 19744445 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2009.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2008] [Accepted: 05/18/2009] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] [Imported: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Repairs of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) injuries are difficult and often result in high mortality. Our group has employed temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) as a damage control procedure in a SMA transection model and hypothesized that TIVS would improve survival when compared with primary vascular anastomosis in the setting of a damage control surgery. METHODS The SMA was clamped and completely transected while pigs were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg and maintained in shock for 30 minutes. Cold lactated Ringer's solution was gradually infused while the abdomen was open to induce hypothermia. Animals were randomized to control (no resuscitation), primary anastomosis (PA), or temporary shunting (TS) of the SMA. Animals were resuscitated for 6 hours with the shed blood and lactated Ringer's solution. Delayed anastomosis was performed in TS animals after resuscitation. Surviving animals were humanely killed 2 days after operation. Systemic hemodynamic parameters were recorded hourly. The ileum was harvested at the end of resuscitation and experiment for pathologic evaluation. RESULTS All animals suffered extreme physiologic conditions: hypothermia, severe acidosis, hypotension, and depressed cardiac output and oxygen delivery. Control animals suffered 100% mortality. Compared with the PA group, TS animals required less resuscitation fluid, retained higher SMA flow rates, normalized lactate levels faster, suffered less severe intestine histopathology, and had greater early survival. CONCLUSION Damage control surgery in the setting of SMA transection seems better managed with TS than with PA. Further validation of this model is required before generalization to human applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to study the impact of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) on the intestine. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty Sprague-Daley rats were divided into four groups. In the ACS group, the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was increased to 20 mmHg. In the ACS/DE group, increased IAP was followed by decompression. In the control1 and control2 groups, the IAP remained unchanged. Malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) enzymes of the intestine were measured. Additionally, ileal tissues were obtained for histopathological examinations and apoptosis detection. Liver, spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes were obtained for microbiological analysis. RESULTS In the presence of IAH, MDA and MPO were increased, while GSH and GSH-Px were decreased. Microbiological analysis suggested bacterial translocation across the gut. Morphological examinations indicated that the Chiu's score and apoptotic index in the ACS/DE group were the highest in the four groups. CONCLUSIONS Oxidative stress plays an important role in the intestinal damage and bacterial translocation in abdominal compartment syndrome. Additionally, the influence of oxygen free radicals occurs mainly during the period of reperfusion rather than during the IAH period.

Abstract
In this systemic review, we summarise the types, configurations, durations, indications and complications of the temporary intravascular shunts used as an adjunct of damage control surgery (DCS) in severe vascular injuries. We conclude that temporary intravascular shunts can be used without systemic anticoagulation for a prolonged time to maintain distal perfusion in combined orthopaedic and vascular injuries, in the setting of DCS and transferring.
