Objective To compare CT perfusion changes of patients 1 month after living liver transplantation with healthy volunteers. Methods Twenty perioperative patients without complications and 25 healthy volunteers underwent dynamic multi-slice CT scan. On each targeted slice, liver was divided into 3 regions of interest (ROI) according to hepatic venous drainage, i.e. anterior segment area drained by middle hepatic veins (MHV) which was most likely congested, risk area drained by both MHV and RHV which was posterior to anterior segment, reference area drained by RHV. Perfusion parameters and relative perfusion difference were calculated.Results The relative perfusion differences of anterior segment and risk area in study group were as follows: BF 44.56±43.19 vs 25.41±27.49 [ml/(min〖DK〗·100 g)]; BV 3.91±2.45 vs 2.15±1.86(ml/100 g); PVP 41.50±39.15 vs 22.66±23.82 [ml/(min·100 g)]. Significant differences of RPDs of BF, BV and PVP were found in anterior segment (P<0.0001) and risk area (P<0.01) compared with control group.Conclusion In perioperative period, there are hemodynamic differences in hepatic segments drained by RHV and MHV. BF, BV, PVP of anterior segment decreases obviously.

Objective To study the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of asymptomatie IgA nephropathy (IgAN) children with pmteinuria and/or microscope haematuria .Methods Clinical and pathological characteristics of 54 children with IgA nephropathy confirmed by renal biopsy were analyzed . These children with IgAN were divided into two groups according to their clinical characteristics at the first onset: asymptomatic IgAN group (AsIgAN) and symptomatic IgAN group (SIgAN) . Histologic changes were classified by Lee SM and Katafuchi semiquantitative scoring system . Results Eighteen children were in AslgAN group and 36 children were in SIgAN group . The degree of proteinuria in SIgAN group [(2 .3±2 .2) g/d] was higher than that in AslgAN group [(0 .4±0 .3) g/d] at the time of biopsy (P<0 .05) . Although asymptomatic IgAN children were mainly of Lee's type Ⅰ ~Ⅱ, 2 children (11%) were of Lee's type Ⅳ~Ⅴ and 5 cases (27%) presented interstitial injury . Symptomatic IgAN children were mainly of Lee's type Ⅱ ~Ⅲ, there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0 .05) . Urine micrealbumin was increased in 87% children presented with microscope haematuria . After an average of (26 .9±8 .8)months follow-up, only one case of Lee's Ⅴ progressed into renal failure and the others maintained normal renal function . Conclusions Although children with asymptomatic IgAN have minor clinical symptoms, severe renal pathological lesion and poor prognosis also occur . Urine screening helps to detect renal diseases and renal biopsy should be performed in the patients with increased urine microalbumin .
