Objective To compare the impact of the sirolimus and tacrolimus on the tumor recurrence after liver transplantation due to HCC beyond Milan criteria.Method Sixty-one liver transplantation recipients due to HCC beyond Milan criteria,between Jan.2008 and Apri.2012,were randomized,with the informed consent,into two different immunosuppression groups: sirolimus group (n=30) and tacrolimus group (n=31).In tacrolimus group,tacrolimus was used as the basic immunosuppressant,methylprednisolone was discontinued within one month postoperatively,and mycophenolate mofetil was used within the dosage of 1.5 g/d accordingly.In sirolimus group,the immunosuppresive scheme was the same as that of the tacrolimus group within postoperative one month,and from that,tacrolimus was transferred to sirolimus.No antineoplastic agents were given before tumor recurrence.The tumor recurrence rate and the survival rate of the recipients were compared between the two groups.Result The median follow-up duration was 35.2 months (10.3～ 60.2).The tumor recurrence rate at postoperative year 1,2,3 and 4 in the sirolimus group (13.3％,36.7％,43.3％ and 53.3％) was significantly lower than that in the tacrolimus group (38.7％,67.7％,74.2％ and 77.4％),P ＜ 0.05 for all.The one-year survival rate in the recipients postoperation had no significant difference between sirolimus group and tacrolimus group (90.0％ vs.87.1％,P=0.438).The 2-,3-and 4-year survival rate in the recipients was significantly higher in the sirolimus group (53.3％,33.3％ and 20.0％) than that in the tacrolimus group (41.9％,22.6％ and 9.7％),P ＜ 0.05 for all.The liver function and renal function of the recipients at the postoperative year 1,2,3 and 4 showed no significant difference between the two groups,P＞0.05.Conclusion In comparison with tacrolimus,sirolimus could significantly reduce the tumor recurrence rate and increase the survival rate for the liver transplant recipients due to HCC beyond Milan criteria.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the anesthesia management of applying minimally invasive percutaneous neplrolithotripsy for treating hepatolithiasis.Methods The anaesthesia method,anesthetic effect,the time of resuscitation after anesthesia and side -effect of anesthesia in 86 patients who were underwent minimally invasive percutaneous neplrolithotripsy for hepatolithiasis were analyzed.Results All 86 patients were satisfied with anesthetic effect and completed surgery successfully.Among them,48 patients underwent operation with epidural anesthesia,31 patients with general anesthesia and 7 patients with the management of anesthesia monitoring(MAC) plus with local anesthesia.The time of resuscitation after anesthesia in general anesthesia patients was longer than those of epidural anesthesia and MAC.6 patients were delayed recovery and hypothermia after general anesthesia, 4 cases of epidural anesthesia and 1 case of MAC appeared cholecyst -heart reflection,and 2 cases of epidural anesthesia vomiting intraoperation.Conclusion The rational anesthesia method for patients underwent minimally invasive percutaneous neplrolithotripsy for treating hepatolithiasis should consider reasonably heart and lung function, maintain hemodynamics and respiratory stably,pay attention to insulation intraoperation,prevent cholecyst -heart reflection and shorten the operation time,which can reduce the side -effect of anesthesia and were favor for recovery after operation.

Nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a set of intracellular protein complexes.NLRP3 inflammasome can trigger the activation of caspase-1 and contribute to the maturation of interleukin, and finally result in a series of inflammation responses in host.Inflammasomes are activated in a variety of cases, including multiple inflammation-related eye diseases, such as xerophthalmia, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and so on.This article aimed to interpret the effect and mechanism of the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, and reviewed how the mutation of gene or the structure disturbance of protein related to NLRP3 inflammasome affects the occurrence and development of inflammation-related eye diseases.

Objective To analysis the distribution of posterior corneal astigmatism (PA) and evaluate the influence of keratometric astigmatism (KA) and total corneal astigmatism (TCA) on the calculation of Toric intraocular lens (Toric IOL) in patients with age-related cataract (ARC) and high corneal astigmatism.Methods An observational study design was adopted.Pentacam was used to measure 200 eyes of 181 patients with ARC and KA＞0.75 D in Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from August 2016 to April 2017.KA,PA,TCA and anterior corneal astigmatism (AA) were recorded.The astigmatism magnitude and axis of PA was studied.The subjects were divided into astigmatism with the rule group,astigmatism against the rule group and oblique astigmatism group according to the axis of AA.The correlations of decomposition values between PA and AA or KA and TCA in each group were analyzed by Pearson linear correlation analysis.The difference of decomposition values between KA and TCA in each group was compared by paired sample t test.The type and axis of Toric IOL were calculated by online formula according to KA and TCA.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results The mean astigmatic magnitudes of PA was -0.32 D×93.1°.PA exceeded 0.5 D in 22 eyes (11％).The steepest posterior corneal meridian was vertically aligned in 163 eyes (81.5％).The decomposition value KP(0) and KP (45) of PA were positively correlated with those ofAA (r=0.480,P＜0.001;r=0.251,P＜0.001).The mean astigmatic magnitudes of KA and TCA were 1.44D×89.6° and 1.32 D×89.5° in astigmatism with the rule group,1.39 D×153.4° and 1.71 D×154.4° in astigmatism against the rule group and 1.13 D× 122.0° and 1.24 D× 124.2° in oblique astigmatism group.53 eyes (69.7％) had KA higher than TCA in astigmatism with the rule group.82 eyes (87.3％) had KA lower than TCA in astigmatism against the rule group;20 eyes (66.7％) had KA lower than TCA in oblique astigmatism group.There were significant differences in KP (0) between KA and TCA in different astigmatism groups (all at P＜0.001).The calculated Toric IOL type were inconsistent in 85 eyes(42.5％) and the calculated axis were inconsistent in 176 eye s (88.2％).Conclusions In patients with high corneal astigmatism,the astigmatism type of PA is mostly astigmatism against the rule.Ignoring the PA can lead to deviation of Toric IOL type selection and axis placement in some patients.For patients who cannot measure PA or TCA,the type of Toric IOL should be adjusted appropriately.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of donor kidneys in rhabdomyolysis(RM) combined with acute kidney injury(AKI).Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 10 donors with RM and 14 cases of renal transplantation from March 2017 to May 2018.Results AKI was caused by RM in 10 donors.Before harvesting the donor kidneys,blood creatine kinase (CK) level was (14 005.19 ± 11 894.27) U/L in 10 donors,plasma myoglobin level was ＞3 000 μg/L in 7 cases,and that was (2 288 ± 680) μg/L in 3 cases.LDH level was 883 ± 453 IU/L and serum creatinine (Cr) value was (216.55 ± 125) μmol/L.6 donors received continuous renal replacement therapy.Six patients with delayed renal function recovery (DGF) were treated with CRRT.The duration of GDF was 3-20 days,with an average of 10 ± 6.6 days.All the patients were followed up for 3-15 months.The glomerular filtration rate was (40.19 ± 19.55) ml·min· 1.73 m-2 and (55.01 ± 15.94) ml · min· 1.73 m-2 at 1st and 3rd month after operation,respectively.Conclusion The incidence of DGF in donor kidneys with RM and AKI is high,and the short-term effect is satisfactory.The long-term effect needs to be further observed.
