Objective To evaluate the effects of dopamine (DA) alone or DA plus norepinephrine (NE) on hemodynamics, tissue oxygenation, acid-base balance and renal function during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods Thirty ASA IE or IV patients undergoing OLT were randomly divided into 2 groups of 15 patients each. In group A DA was continuously infused during operation. The initial infusion rate was 1-3 ?g?kg-1 ?min-1 . The rate was then adjusted to MAP between 60-80 mmHg. While in group B DA and NE were continuously infused. The initial infusion rate of DA was 1-3 (?g?kg-1?min-1 and that of NE 0.03 ?g?kg-1?min-1 . Both rates were adjusted to MAP between 60-80 mm Hg but the maximal DA infusion rate was 5 ?g?kg-1?min-1 . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium and maintained with isoflurane inhalation, continuous propofol infusion and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl, midazolam and pipecuronium. Radial artery was cannulated and S-G catheter was placed via right internal jugular vein. Hemodynamic variables such as MAP, CVP, PAP, PCWP, SVRI, PVRI, blood gases, mixed venous blood O2 saturation (SvO2), blood lactate, Cr and BUN were measured and O2 delivery (DO2 ) and O2 consumption (VO2 ) were calculated and recorded after induction and before surgery (T1 baseline), 60 min after operation was started (T2), at 60 min anhepatic phase (T3) and 60 min neohepatic phase (T4 ) and at the end of operation ( T5). Results There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to age, sex, body weight, duration of operation and types of surgery. MAP and HR were quite stable in both groups. CVP, MPAP, PCWP, cardiac output (CO) and CI were significantly decreased while SVR and SVRI were increased during anhepatic phase (T3 ) in both groups ( P

Objective To evaluate characteristics of hematopoietic and immunologic reconstitution in mixed cord blood transplantation. Methods Single, 2 human HLA-haploidentical or HLA-mismatched cord blood units were transplanted into sublethally irradiated severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, respectively. The characteristics of engraftment, multilineage hematopoiesis and immunologic reconstitution among the three guoups were compared. Results Single or 2 cord blood units could engraft SCID mice and reconstitute human hematopoiesis and immunologic functions. No significant differences in engrafting rate were observed. Cord blood cells were apt to differentiate into NK cells and B lymphocytes. One or 2 cord blood units could be implanted in SCID mice simultaneously as shown by HLA-DQB1 gene detection. The cord blood containing more hematopoietic progenitor cells and higher colony forming potentiality was apt to engraft. Moreover, in less HLA disparity group, 2 cord blood units were prone to engraft simultaneously. Conclusions Co-transplantation of two cord blood units can reconstitute hematopoietic and immunologic functions in SCID mice. However, imbalance in multilineage differentiation existed.

The absorption of 59 Fe incorporated into yeast was studied in rats. Yeast was cultured in a nutrient solution to which radioactive 59Fe was added as an intrinsic tag. The 59Fe-enriched yeast was separated from the solution by centrifuge and given to rats by a stomach tube. The rats of the control groups were given the radioactive " Fe together -with ordina-ly yeast plus ferrous sulfate or only with ferrous sulfate separately.All feces were collected until less than 0.5 per cent of the administered dose was present in a 24-hour specimen of feces. The radioactivity in the feces was then measured daily for three successive days. The absorption of iron was calculated by the difference between intake and fecal loss.The result revealed that the absorption of iron in "Fe-enriched yeast (38.7%) was similar to that of ferrous sulfate (38.3%). It indicated that the iron incorporated into yeast was easily to be absorbed.This study afforded the scientific data for researching and popularizing fortified food with iron-enriched yeast.
