The expression of HB-EGF (heparine binding epidermal growth factor) in cells of mice increased just after partial level removal in hapatectomy and reached maximal value 3 hours later. TGF-A expression in mice cells after 2/3 hepatectomy reduced in comparing with control in 3 first hours later and increased in 6 hours later

In Viet Nam, the method of liver resection developed by Prof. Ton That Tung at Viet Duc Hospital was approved worldwide. After that realisation liver trasplantation had been considered. In 1965 Ton That Tung and his collaborators had carried an experiment to graft total liver on dog and had preliminary success, afterwards human liver tranplantation began to prepare. In 2002, in Viet Duc hospital, 15 cases of experimental liver tranplantation were performed totally in pig to get experience and the results were encouraged. For implementing a first case of liver transplantation in late year 2003 and for developing this technique in some main institution in next time, some preparation must be started

The study was divided into 2 phases: In phase 1 (1997), the left lobes were removed and transplanted autogenously to other sites. Phase 2 (1998 - 2000) was performed according to the human liver transplantation model. Results: In phase 1, the left lobes were removed in 6 animals, 4 animals were transplanted autogenously at spleen holes. 3/4 grafts had good outcomes. One out of 4 grafts discoloured with poor circulation. In second phase, 23 animals were removed left lobes, 21/23 grafts met requirements, and 5/23 animals had complications and dead soon postoperation. 18/23 animals remained to be survival postoperation. Among liver-received pigs, 5 animals were dead perioperation. 14/18 grafts had good outcomes. 4/18 grafts discoloured. The average extra survival of liver-received pigs was 14.6 hours

168 healthy livers from lead patients were studied. The results have shown that 4 basic anatomical forms of the right liver and 6 basic anatomical forms of left liver have been found. 36.9% of cases can be dissected the left hepatic vein. This finding can be applied for the liver transplantation and heapatectomy and plastic reconstruction of hepatic veins.

To study on 65 HBsAg positive mothers and 61 their newborns received differents dosages and types of hepatitis B vaccine at 0, 1, 2 months. HBeAg was detected in 25 (38.5%) mothers and all of them were HBV DNA positive. HBsAg and HBV DNA was detected in 19 (76%) and 23 (92%) respectively of the 25 cord blood from HBeAg positive mothers, while detected in 16 (40%) and 12 (30%) respectively of the 40 cord blood from HBeAg negative mothers. Testing at 6 months after completion of the vaccineation schedule, the failure risk (HBsAg positive) of vaccines for dosage of 2.5 g/ml is higher than others (5 g/ml and 10 g/ml). Hepatitis B vaccine with hepatitis B immune globulin or vaccine dosages of 5 and 10g alone may be recommended for high-risk neonates.

PURPOSE: Couinaud described segment IV as being equivalent to segments II and III, as the umbilical portion of the portal vein (PV), and its equal branch of segment II, originated from the transverse portion of the PV. On the contrary, Healey suggested the presence of left lateral and medial segments, on the basis of umbilical fissure. Recently, some author have claimed the branch of segment II originated from the distal portion of the ligamentum venosum (LV), and that this branch was not equal to, only a branch of, the umbilical portion. Our goal was to evaluate the surgical anatomy of the left lobe of the liver through dissecting Korean cadavers. METHODS: The number of cadavers dissected totaled 10. PV, its branches, and the LV were dissected and the length of the transverse portion measured. The distance between the origin of the transverse portion and that of the segment II branch were also measured. RESULTS: The branch of segment II originated from the distal portion of the LV in all 10 cases. The length of the transverse portion was 18.8+/-5.8 mm, and the distance between the origins of the LV and segment II branch was 7.0+/-3.1 mm. CONCLUSION: Considering the embryology of the liver, as well as the above result, the umbilical portion and segment II branch were not equal anatomic structures. The umbilical portion and LV are equal anatomic structures. The branch of segment II is only one of the branches of the umbilical portion. We think Healey's classification is more accurate for the left lobe of the liver.
