Clinical studies remain the corresponding risk, during the study period can sometimes cause pa-tients/subjects health damage directly or even life safety;also some at the end of the study after a certain period or in the offspring can reflect the long-term adverse effects. Clinical research project risk classification method is dis-cussed, according to the influencing factors of risk can be divided into two categories, their sexual and artificially, and from their sexual risk, the researchers risk, the sponsor problems and subjects of the four aspects of risk identi-fication and evaluation is discussed in detail. Based on this, advances the tactics of risk aversion: construction of clinical research and regulation of ethical management platform,To strengthen the external supervision of research project risk, The sponsor or researchers do their job, To strengthen the construction of institutional ethics committee ability, Give full play to the institutional ethics committee functions,Risk transfer and reduce the risk.

Objective To study the classification, its incidence and some related factors of neurological complications after liver transplantation.Methods 166 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation were retrospectively studied. The classification and the incidence of the neurological complications were analyzed. In addition, the patients were divided into two groups, according to whether they suffered from neurological complications or not, to study the difference of related factors, which included gender, age, primary disease, type of operation procedure, operation time, non-hepatic time, ischemia time of donor liver, blood loss, blood infusion and immunosuppressive regimen.Results Neurological complications occurred in 28 cases (32 times), which included encephalopathy, seizure, stroke, infection of central nervous system, serious para-pyramidal syndrome and peripheral neuropathy. The total incidence was 16.9 %. Between the neurological complication group and non-neurological-complication group, no difference was found in gender, age, type of operation procedure, operation time, non-hepatic time, ischemia time of donor liver, blood loss, blood infusion and immunosuppressive regimen, but the neurological complications were closely related with primary diseases. The incidence of neurological complications was 30 % in acute liver failure, followed by post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis (21 %), primary liver carcinoma (17.8 %), Wilson disease (16.7 %) and primary biliary liver cirrhosis (12.5 %). Interestingly as a sole complication disease, the incidence of encephalopathy in acute liver failure was 15 %, that was much higher than that in other primary disease. So was the peripheral neuropathy, which was 10 % in primary liver carcinoma.Conclusions The neurological complication is a kind of serious disease with high incidence after liver transplantation. Its onset may have some relationships with the primary liver disease.

As an essential technique involved in complicated liver surgery,portal vein reconstruction results in eradication of macro- or microscopic tumor residual on surgical margins when combined with precise hepatectomy,improving both the living quality and the survival rate of patients.The application of this reconstruction technique needs precise evaluation of pre-operational image data,clearly dissection of portal vessels and tremendous amount of collaborative effort by the surgery team. Other techniques performed during the surgical procedure include intra-operative ultrasound scan,revitalizing the cryopreserved vessels,and angioplasty.

Objective To establish a new model of acute hepatic failure in canines for bioartificial liver treatment research . Methods Acute hepatic failure was induced by end to side portocaval shunt combined with common bile duct ligation and transection. The survival rate, liver function, ammonia, Fischer's ratio (BCAA/AAA) and pathological change of injury liver were investigated. Results The ammonia, ALT, AKP, total bilirubin and PT were elevated dramatically and Fischer's ratio declined significantly 14 days after the operation. The survival rate of the models decreased with time 14 days after the operation. Pathological examination of liver tissues revealed evidence of cholestasis, inflammation with accumulation of neutrophils, degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes.Conclusions End to side portocaval shunt combined with common bile duct ligation and transection can produce a satisfactory acute hepatic failure model in canines, which could be used in the study of bioartificial liver.

Natural product is an important source of new drug research and development (R&D). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) innovation is the key step for its modernization and internationalization. However, due to the complexity of TCM, there are many difficulties and confusions in this process. Target-based drug discovery is the mainstream model and method of R&D. TTD, short for therapeutic target database, is developed by National University of Singapore. Besides a large amount of information on drug targets, the database also contains considerable information related to natural products. This paper briefly introduces the TTD, analyzes the natural products derived drugs/compounds recorded in TTD, which we think might provide some inspiration for the innovation of TCM.

Objective To explore the optimal surgical treatment strategy of advanced gallbladder carcinoma (Nevin Ⅲ - Ⅴ ), with an aim to prolong patients' overall survival. Methods 17 patients with advanced gallbladder carcinoma were reviewed. Their preoperative diagnosis, surgical treatment, complications and survival time were studied. Results The diagnosis of advanced gallbladder carcinoma was done using different medical imaging techniques, but incorrect diagnosis still happened. There is a wide range of surgical treatment for advanced gallbladder carcinoma. Controversy still exists as whether lymph node resection should be done. In our patients, 35.3% of the 13a lymph nodes and 23. 5% of the 8 lymph nodes were positive for metastasis, which showed that lymph node resection should be carried out. Extended surgery was sometime required to ensure a R0 resection.The main complications of surgery were intraabdominal infection, bile leakage and paralytic ileus.Conclusion An aggressive surgical approach for advanced gallbladder carcinoma is required to ensure a R0 resection, which contributed to better overall survival.
