Objective To analyze the individual immunosuppressive protocol (IP) after liver transplantation (LT) in benign end-stage liver disease. Methods The clinical data of 645 patients with benign end-stage liver disease undergoing LT in our institute from April 2002 to Aug 2010 wen analyzed retrospectively. 146 cases from Apr. 2002 to Dec. 2004 were in stage one, and triple therapy containing tacrolimus (Tac), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and methylprednisolone (MP) was used;273 cases from Jan. 2005 to Dec 2007 were in stage two, and the less dose of immunosuppressant than stage one was used; 226 cases from Jan. 2008 to Aug. 2010 were in stage three, and they wen divided into conventional group and severe patient group according to their preoperative model for endstage liver disease (MELD) score and patient condition, the individual IP was used. Results The overall survival rate of patients with MELD score <25 was 88. 9 % in stage one, 94. 2 % in stage two, and 95. 4 % in stage three; The overall survival rate of patients with MELD score ≥25 was 67. 7 % in stage one, 73. 4 % in stage two, and 82. 0 % in stage three. The incidence of rejection ir cases with MELD score <25 had no significant difference (P>0. 05). The incidence of rejection in cases with MELD score ≥25 in stage two and stage three was higher slightly than in stage one (P<0. 05). Conclusion The IP after liver transplantation should be individualized according to recipient conditions, which can increase survival rate.

Objective:To investigate the management in patients with complete portal vein (PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis during liver transplantation (LT). Methods:Seven patients with complete PV and SMV thrombosis undergone LT, The reconstruction of PV were the anastomosis PV to varicose coronary vein in 3 cases, PV to varicose vein near hilus of spleen in 2 case, PV to varicose vein in front of common bile duct in 1 case, PV to varicose right gastro-epiploic vein in 1 case. Results:All patients undergone successful LT. One case died 7 days after the transplantation of multi-organic nonfunction, but the PV was patent. One case was found stenosis at the anastomosis 6 months after LT, and he was cured by percutaneous transhepatic portography and stent placement. Other patients were followed-up12~22 months, the PVs were patent, and had sufficient blood supply, and they have normal liver and kidney functions now. Conclusion :The anastomosis between graft portal vein and the splanchnic varicose vein may be a applicable choice for the patients with complete PV and SMV thrombosis during LT.

Objective: To study the surgical strategy of portal vein organized thrombosis ( PVOT ) during liver transplantation ( LT ) . Methods: The clinical data of 41 patients with PVOT performed LT from January 2005 to June 2006 ( 359 cases ) in our institute was retrospectively analyzed . The reconstruction of portal vein ( PV ) were removing thrombosis in 22 cases , throm- boendovenectomy in 10 cases , PV to splanchnic varicose vein in 8 cases , cavoportal hemitranspo- sition in 1 case . Results: 1 case died of multiple organ failure , 1 case died of hepatic artery bleeding . Retransplantation and portosystemic shunt vein ligation were performed in 1 case 14 days after LT because of its insufficient PV flow 2 cases were found anastomotic stenosis and they were cured by balloon angioplasty and stent placement via hepatic vein . Other patients were followed up 6 to 20 months , all of them had normal PV flow . Conclusion: Thromboen- dovenectomy or removing thrombosis is applicable to manage PVOT during LT .
