As one of the commonest postoperative complications after liver transplantation,fungal infection has a high incidence and mortality.Nowadays,the development of the organ transplantation technique in China has already entered into the era of donation after citizen's death (DCD).Donors of DCD are mainly derived from the patients after brain death,cardiac death or death of both brain and cardiac.These donors usually suffer from long-term hypotension,ischemia,anoxia and secondary recessive or dominant infections during emergency treatment.Hence,preventing the fungal infections in donor organs and recipients after transplantation plays an important role in improving the success rate of liver transplantation.This review focuses on the clinical significance of preventing fungal infection in DCD of liver transplantation.

Objective:To observe the protective effect of Yulangsan polysaccharide ( YLSP) on liver injury induced by cyclophos-phamide(CTX) in mice. Methods:Liver injury induced by CTX in mice was used as the animal model and the mice were randomly di-vided into the normal group, CTX model group, biphenyldicarboxylate ( BPDC) group, YLSP group respectively with high, medium and low dose. Except the normal group, the other groups were injected with CTX, i. p. , for 7 days to make the model. Then the ani-mals in the YLSP groups were intragastrically administered with YLSP for 7 days. The activities of alanine aminotransferase( ALT) , as-partate aminotransferase( AST) in serum, malondialdehyde( MDA) , superoxide dismutase( SOD) , glutathione( GSH) and glutathione peroxidase ( GSH-Px) in liver tissue were investigated. Hematoxylin and eosin ( HE) stain was used to study the changes in hepatic tissue of the pathological mice. Results:Compared with the model group, YLSP could obviously reduce the activities of ALT, AST and the content of MDA, and increase the content of GSH, SOD and GSH-Px (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). HE staining showed that YLSP had significant protective effect on liver injury induced by CTX. Conclusion:YLSP has protective effect on liver injury induced by CTX.
