Objective To review the recent studies regarding etiology and management of diarrhea after liver transplantation. Methods The current related literatures about the etiology and management of diarrhea after liver transplantation were reviewed. Results There were approximately 10.00% to 35.44% recipients developed diarrhea after liver transplantation. Other symptoms such as severe body fluid and electrolyte loss, discomfort, and increase blood level of immunosuppressive drug can be caused by diarrhea as well. Clostridium difficile, cytomegalovirus, rotavirus infection and immunosuppressant were main etiological factors. It is important to find out the inducement of diarrhea and work out the corresponding management and other supportive care on the basis of the etiology. Conclusion Diarrhea is a common complication of liver transplantation whose etiology is complex. Appropriate approaches may be helpful to decrease the risk of this complication.

Objective To explore the relationship between anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal junction(APBDJ) and gallbladder carcinoma. Methods The current related literatures were reviewed.Results APBDJ was associated with gallbladder carcinoma development. A proposed mechanism was free reflux of pancreatic juice into the gallbladder and molecular alterations of gallbladder epithelial cells.Conclusion APBDJ is a high risk factor for gallbladder carcinoma. Prophylactic cholecystectomy is recommended for patients with APBDJ.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR) belongs to the superfamily of nuclear hormone receptor.Three PPAR subtypes have been identified to date(PPAR?,PPAR? and PPAR?)and the relationship between PPAR? and tumor has drawn great attention.Current data showed that PPAR? agonists exert their antineoplastic effect through inhibiting cell growth and angiogenesis,inducing cell apoptosis and differentiation,and reducing tumor invasive ability.PPAR? agonists may be a promising tool for cancer chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the qualitative diagnosis of salivary gland mass with contrastenhanced ultrasound(CEUS).Methods The CEUS manifestations in 78 cases with salivary gland mass were observed after intravenous bolus injection with contrast agent SonoVue and confirmed by histology.Results Among 78 salivary gland masses,there were 29 cases with pleomorphic adenomas (37.2％),19with Warthin's tumors (24.4 ％),7 with basal cell adenomas (8.9 ％),and 11 with the other benign masses (14.1％),12 with malignant tumors (15.4％).The intensity of contrast-enhanced masses,whether the enhanced mass margin was clear,whether the peripheral enhancement rim was complete and whether the mass was enlarged were the diagnostic criteria to differentiate the benign and malignant tumors.The accuracy,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 87.2％,95.2％,56.3％,89.4％,75.0％ respectively,and the results also displayed positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 2.178,0.085 respectively.Although they presented with the highest incidence among benign tumors,their CEUS manifestations showed remarkable statistical differences when the pleomorphic adenoma was compared with Warthin' s tumor and basal cell adenoma respectively in enhancement intensity(P ＜0.01) while there were no statistical differences between Warthin's tumors and basal cell adenomas (P ＞0.05).Conclusions CEUS manifestations of salivary gland mass were helpful to the differential diagnosis of various salivary gland tumors.

Objective To evaluate the optimal surgical approach for huge liver neopiasms in the caudate lobe.Methods Thirty-three patients with huge liver neplasms（≥10cm) underwent caudate lobectomy at a single tertiary referral center between January 2001 and June 2007.The surgical out-comes of pateints who underwent isolated caudate lobectomy or caudate lobectomy combined with partial hepatectomy were compared.Result Fifteen（45.5％）of 33 patients underwent isolated total or partial caudate lobectomy（group A）,whereas 18（54.5％) had total or partial caudate lobectomy cellular carcinoma (HCC) (51.5％),followed by hemangioma(21.2％),intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(9.1％),angiomyolipoma(6.1％),hepatic adenoma (3％),focal nodular hyperplasia(3％),colorectal liver metastases(3％)and sarcoma(3％).The median diameter of the tumour was 12.3 (range,10.2-21)cm.Patients in group A had significantly longer operative time (280 minutes vs.170 minutes),longer length of hospital stay (17 days vs.12 days)and more blood loss(1250 ml vs.670 ml) than patients in group B.There was no perioperative death in the 2 groups of pateints.Complication rates in group A and group B were 26.7％ and 16.7％ respectively.There was no disease-related death in patients with benign lesions.The1-,3- and 5-year disease-free survivals of patients with malignant lesions in group A and group B were 25.9％,0％,0％and 74.3％,46.7％,31.2％,respectively.The 1-,3- and 5-year overrall survivals were 68.6％,19.7％,0％ and 100％,66.5％,41.8％,respecively.Conclusion The approach to caudate lobectomy depends on the size and location of the lesion and the liver functional reserve.For patients with sufficient liver functional reserve,caudate lobectomy combined with partial hepatectomy is preferred because it is technically less demanding.For patienls with marginal liver functional reserve,isolated caudate lobectomy is the only viable surgical option.

Objective To evaluate the effects of exercise therapy in children with congenital heart disease. Methods To search databases such as PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, VIP, China Biology Medicine for all the randomized controlled trials. After evaluating the quality of each article, the software of RevMan 5.3 were used to analyze. Results A total of 10 randomized controlled trials were included. Compared with the routine nursing, meta-analysis showed that exercise therapy can improve the peak oxygen uptake(MD=4.82,95%CI 2.25-7.39, P=0.0002) and the postoperative compliance (RR=2.84, 95%CI 1.75-4.63, P<0.01), shorten the postoperative hospital time(MD=- 4.41,95% CI - 6.15-- 2.68, P <0.01). Conclusions Exercise therapy can improve the pulmonary function and quality of life on children with congenital heart disease, shorten the postoperative hospital time, increasing the postoperative compliance. However, there were few research on present, so we need a large sample randomized controlled trials of long time to confirm the effects of exercise therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-paracrine substance on fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) rat, and to study the effect on liver function and hepatocyte proliferation. MethodsMesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)were separated from human umbilical cord, and surface makers of cells were detected by flow cytometry. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned medium(MSC-CM) was prepared. FHF rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine and they were randomly diveded into three groups: MSC-CM group, NS group, PHGF group. 24 h later, 1 ml MSC-CM, 1 ml 0. 9% NaCl solution and lml PHGF solution was injected into the tail vein of MSC-CM, NS, and PHGF rats, respectively. In each group (n=8 per group), blood samples were collected at 12, 24, 36, and 60 h after treatment from inner canthus for analysis of blood ALT and TBIL levels. We used five rats per group for tissue collection after sacrifice at 36 h after treatment and 10 animals per group for survival analysis. PCNA immunohistochemical staining was used in the sections of liver tissue to detect hepatocyte proliferation. Results24 h after treatment, the levels of ALT and TBIL in the MSC-CM and PHGF groups were lower than those in the NS group(P＜0. 05), but there was no significant difference between the MSC-CM and PHGF groups. There were more PCNA-positive hepatocytes in the MSC-CM and PHGF groups than in the NS group(P＜0.01), but there was no significant difference between MSC-CM and PHGF group. Survival analysis found that the survival rate of rats in the MSC-CM and PHGF groups was higher than that of rats in the NS group (P=0. 049), but there was no significant difference between the MSC-CM and PHGF group. ConclusionsThe paracrine substance of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can stimulate hepatocyte proliferation and improve liver function of FHF rats, potentially creating a new avenue for the treatment of FHF.

Objective To explore the clinical features of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during pregnancy. Methods Clinical data of 4 patients with HCC in pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed.Results All 4 patients were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. A marked increase in maternal serum a-fetoprotein (AFP) was found in 3 patients (310.1-5630.0 ng/ml ). Three patients were diagnosed at their advanced stages and died of disease in the 4th, 6th and 7th months, respectively. One patient diagnosed as having early HCC underwent curative surgery and has been without recurrence for 26 months. Conclusion The overall survival of patients with HCC in pregnancy is grim because most patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage. Surveillance with AFP and ultrasonography should be recommended for pregnant woman for the detection of early HCC, especially in hepatitis B virus carriers from high endemic areas, to improve patient survival.
