Objective To select a safe and feasible way by comparing the two main styles of splitting liver transplantation classical splitting and modified splitting.Methods In order to compare the distribution of artery, vein and bile duct of all segments of liver, 58 formaldehyde fixed livers and 8 fresh livers were divided into two groups. One group was subjected to classical splitting and the other group to modified splitting. Results Among 66 livers, 66.7?% of the segment VIII and 100?% of the segment V (all or some) drained to middle hepatic vein. In classical splitting group, the vein drainage of 5th and 8th segments of right graft was destroyed.Conclusion Modified splitting is safer and more reliable than classical splitting, so the former is the first choice when the size of donor liver is suitable.

Objective: To compare the long term prognosis between revascularization (REV) and medical therapy (MP) in patients with three-vessel disease (3VD) with or without left main (LM) lesion.
Methods: A total of 4,875 consecutive patients with elective coronary angiography (CAG) diagnosed 3VD with or without LM lesion treated in our hospital from 2007-01 to 2008-12 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups: MT group,n=705 (14.5%) and REV group,n=4170 (85.5%). The all cause mortality and the rate of revascularization during follow-up period were compared between 2 groups by inverse-probability-weighting approach with propensity score.
Results: There were 3962/4875 (81.3%) patients with simple 3VD (right, left anterior descending and left circumlfex coronary arteries) and 913 (18.7%) with 3VD+LM lesion. The in-hospital mortality was similar between 2 groups (OR=0.7, 95% CI 0.3-1.4,P=0.30). With the longest 2-year follow-up study, the adjusted all cause mortality and the rate of revascularization in MT group were both higher than those in REV group (HR=8.3, 95% CI 6.7-11.1,P<0.001) and (HR=1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.6,P<0.001). No matter the patients with simple 3VD or 3VD+LM lesion, compared with REV group, MT group had the higher all cause mortality, for 3VD+LM lesion (HR=10.4, 95% CI 7.1-15.4,P<0.001) and for simple 3VD (HR=7.1, 95% CI 5.3-10.0,P<0.001).
Conclusion: In real world, the long term prognosis by revascularization treatment was superior to medical treatment in patients with either simple 3 vessel coronary disease or 3 vessel combining LM disease.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of CT spectral imaging using quantitative iodine-based material decomposition images in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism. Methods Fifty-three patients underwent CT angiography with spectral imaging mode on a GE Discovery CT750HD scanner. Iodine distribution in the lung parenchyma using the iodine-based material decomposition images was quantitatively measured by post-processing. Monochromatic CT angiographic images were reconstructed from the same data sets and thee images were reviewed for the identification and localization of pulmonary embolism as well as the degree ( partial or complete) of the embolic occlusion. The number and location of perfusion defects were recorded. The iodine content of perfusion defects and normal lung parenchyma on the iodine maps were measured by one reader using an ROI analysis. Comparative analyses were obtained using the Chi-square test for categorical data. Two independent samples rank test and 2 related samples signed-rank test were used to compare iodine densities between different groups. Results CT angiography showed no pulmonary embolism in 33 patients, and iodine distribution was homogeneous. A total of 93 clots with lobar ( n = 26), segmental (n = 54) and sub-segmental (n=13) distribution were detected in 19 patients; Fifty-one clots were occlusive and 42 clots were non-occlusive. The iodine-based material decomposition images of all occlusive clots showed lobar, segmental or sub-segmental iodine distribution defects; whereas eleven of 42 non-occlusive clots had evidence of iodine distribution defects. There was significant difference ( x2 = 39. 94,P＜0. 01 ) in the perfusion defects between occlusive and non-occlusive clots. There was a significant difference in iodine content between normal lung parenchyma [ (1.92 ±0. 54) g/L] and perfusion defects [ (0. 30 ± 0. 20)g/L] (Z= -5.63, P ＜ 0. 01 ). There was a significant difference in the iodine content of peffusion defects before [ (0. 26 ± 0. 23 )g/L] and after anticoagulation [ (0. 94 ± 0. 50 )g/L ] ( Z = -3.93,P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion With the ability of iodine mapping, CT spectral imaging is areliable method in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism both qualitatively and quantitatively, and may be a useful tool in providing information regarding the severity of PE and monitoring therapeutic efficacy.
