Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of non-anastomotic biliary stricture (NABS) after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 403 patients who underwent liver transplantation in the past 10 years in our department were analyzed retrospectively,compared different methods to find out the most appropriate method in the diagnosis and management of NABS.Results NABS occurred in 13 out of 403 patients (3.2％),almost the same incidence as in patients who received DCD donor livers (4.16％,2/48).The clinical signs of NABS were frequent cholangitis and high TBil,r-GT and AKP (P ＜0.01).All these cases were finally diagnosed by cholangiography and they could be classified into 3 types:hepatic bile duct stricture (4 patients,type Ⅰ),multiple extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary strictures (7 patients,type Ⅱ),intrahepatic biliary strictures (2 patients,type Ⅲ).NABS were mainly treated by interventional therapy,Roux-en-Y anastomosis and retransplantation in our centre.All type Ⅰ patients were successfully managed with interventional therapy/ERCP and Roux-en-Y anastomosis,but 44.4％ (4/9) of type Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients required retransplantation.The TBIL,r-GT and AKP decreased significantly in 12 patients (P ＜ 0.05) and the total curative rate of NABS was 92.3％ (12/13) with one patient who died after retransplantation.Conclusions Cholangiography was an effective way to diagnose NABS which is common among patients after liver transplantation.Interventional therapy/ERCP,Roux-en-Y anastomosis and retransplantation were our 3 ways to treat this problem.We proceeded from easy to difficult and chose a suitable way to deal with NABS according to the different types of biliary stricture from cholangiography.Type Ⅰ patients had much better prognosis than Type Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients who should receive retransplantation if interventional therapy/ERCP failed.

Objective To obtain the frequency weighting contour for seated Chinese young males in z axis.Method 10 male volunteers served as the subjects.They were exposed to standard vibration stimulus (a sinusoidal vibration of 1.0 m/s2 at 8 Hz) and 14 kinds of sinusoidal experimental vibration stimuli at frequencies from 4 Hz to 80 Hz.The magnitude of the experimental vibration stimulus was changed by the subject through a signal condition and switching device made by ourselves to obtain an equal vibration sensation to the standard vibration.The data were fitted to the same form of the frequency weighting Wk of ISO 2631-1 with the least square method and optimization of parameters.Result Compared with ISO 2631-1,the frequencies weightings of Chinese young males at 16～80 Hz are significantly higher than those of ISO 2631-1(P<0.005),but there are no significant difference between two frequency weighting contours at other frequencies. Conclusion Chinese young males are more sensitive to vibration at 16～80 Hz in Z axis.

Aim To investigate the effects of lipophilic fraction of Ganoderma lucidum on PC12 differentiation. Methods Rat PC12 cells were cultured in DMEM medium. Differentiation of PC12 cells was evaluated by monitoring neurite outgrouth of PC12 cells with phase-contrast microscopy after treatment with lipophilic extracts of Ganoderma lucidum or it's effective component B_2. Expression of neuronal marker,microtubule-associated protein-2,was determined with immonofluorescence and western blot analysis. Results Lipophilic extracts of Ganoderma at the concentrations between 125 and 500 mg?L -1 induced neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nearly all cells showed morphological differentiation in response to lipophilic extracts of Ganoderma. Lipophilic extracts of Ganoderma also potentiated NGF-induced differenti-ation of PC12 cells. Lipophilic extracts of Ganoderma increased the expression of MAP-2. Conclusion Lipophilic extracts of Ganoderma lucidum can induce differentiation of PC12 cells and potentiate NGFs actions.

Objective To summarize the experiences and protocol of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technique in donors with brain death and unexpected cardiac arrest.Method We described here the organ donation of one case of brain death complicated with hemodynamic instability and cardiac arrest,and the corresponding recovery of the receptor liver.A 50-year old female developed brain death due to brain aneurysmal hemorrhage.He was given two kinds of high-dose vasopressor,but hemodynarnic instability was not improved.After ECMO support,the hemodynamics turned to stable,but unexpected cardiac arrest happened.The total operating time of ECMO was 5 h,including 4 h after cardiac arrest.The liver was transplanted into a 65-year old female with hepatocellular carcinoma (diagnosed by Hangzhou Criteria) by classic orthotopic liver transplantation with end-to-end anastomosis.Result One liver and two kidneys were obtained successfully,and all the receptors recovered uneventfully.The post-operative ALT and AST levels reached the peak at 169 U/L and 365 U/L respectively,and returned to normal two weeks later.Conclusion ECMO can be used to support brain death complicated with hemodynamic instability and unexpected cardiac arrest.It can save precious time for organ donation,and preserve the function of liver and kidney as well.

Objective To summarize the clinical experiences in liver transplantation from donation after cardiac death donors. Methods The clinical data of 20 recipients who underwent liver transplantation from donation after cardiac death of 20 donors at the Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area from July 2006 to May 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was applied to donors with brain and cardiac death to avoid warm ischemia.Donors in type Ⅲ according to the Maastricht classification did not receive ECMO.Liver grafts were obtained 5 minutes after the stop of heartbeat of the donors.Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed on recipients.Seventeen recipients received end-to-end bile duct anastomosis and 3 received cholangioenterostomy.All the recipients were followed up regularly.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method.Results Of the 20 donors,2 ( 10％ ) were in the type of Maastricht Ⅲ and 18 (90％) were donation after brain and cardiac death donors.Liver transplantation was successfully performed on all recipients,and the mean operation time,duration of anhepatic phase,mean volume of blood loss and duration of postoperative intensive care unit stay were (6.2 ± 2.7 ) hours,( 54 ± 13 ) minutes,( 2305 ± 1311 ) ml and (44 ±35) hours,respectively.There was no mortality during operation,and no recovering delay and non-function of the transplanted liver occurred.One recipient died of sepsis and 1 died of pulmonary infection at 1 month after operation,the other 18 recipients all survived.The longest survival time was 58 months.Conclusions Donation after cardiac death is the main source of liver grafts in China currently,and donation after brain and cardiac death is the main type.Establishment of rational flow-sheets of the donation after cardiac death and liver transplantation,rational application of ECMO for protecting the liver grafts are helpful for the work of organ donation after brain and cardiac death.

ObjectiveTo summarize the early clinical experience of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for protecting the liver donation after cardiac death (DCD).Methods Review and analysis the clinical data of 17 cases of liver transplantation with the donors from Chinese citizen after cardiac death from July 2009 to May 2011 in our liver transplantation center,and comprehend the primary diseases and the relevant index of the donors,the flow-sheet of donation and obtain of the organs from the donation after cardiac death,and the apply methods of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during those processes.ResultsAll 17 cases had been diagnosed as brain death before,and waited for cardiac death,so all were clearly the donation of brain death plus cardiac death(DBCD).During the processes waiting for cardiac death,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were introducted in every case,and the using time were 51-380 (mean 187)min.The donation after brain death plus cardiac death (DBCD) were all harvested liver donors and were transplanted to 17 receivers respectively.In our center,there was no operational death in liver transplantation in this series.The post-operation liver function recovered satisfactory,without transplant liver non-function or recovering delay.One case died of the pulmonary infection one month later after operation,and the other 16 cases all survived and were followed up to now.The longest survival time was 29 months.ConclusionThe donation after brain death plus cardiac death (DBCD) was the special donation type for citizen in China.The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) could well control the warm ischemia for protecting the liver donor just without ethics dispute.So,the using of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the liver donation after cardiac death(DCD)of citizen in our China have very important contribution.

Objective To explore the efficiency of the ABC-HOME in the rapid identification and assessment of potential donors.Methods We developed a submit system and a rapid assessment method of ABC-HOME for potential donors at 2013.They were on trial in service area hospitals of Guangzou General Hospital Organ Procurement Organization (GHOPO) from February,2015.We reviewed medical records of potential donors occurring in the intensive unit at 2014,from February to December 2015 and 2016,respectively.We examined data on the number of potential donors,actual donors and beds of ICU,and calculated the number of potential donors and actual donors per bed per year.The reasons for donation failure were analyzed.Results 19,38 and 50 organ donations were realized in 243,474 and 513 potential donors in 2014,from February 2015 to December 2015 and 2016,respectively.The growth rate of organ donation and the number of actual donors per bed per year was 95.0%,8.2% and 0.45,0.89 and 0.96,respectively.The conversion rate in these potential donors was 8.92% from February 2015 to December 2016.The reasons for donation failure included the family and social factors,doctor-patient relationship and communication factor and illness condition of donors' factors.Conclusion ABC-HOME is a convenient assessment method for potential donors,which can help to promote the identification of potential donors and to increase the number of potential donor information.
