Objective To investigate the indications, maternal and fetal/neonatal risks and treatments of pregnancy after liver transplantation. Methods The related published literatures were summarized and reviewed.Results Most females can recover a regular menstrual cycle. Hypertension, preeclampsia, bacterial and viral infection resulted from immuno-suppression therapy and increasing rate of caesarian section are the major risks for the mother. Abortion and pre-term delivery, premature rupture of fetal membrane, hypoadrenalism, abnormality, immune deficiency, hepatitis virus B and cytomegalovirus and bacterial infection are the major risks for the fetus/neonate.Conclusion Satisfactory results can be obtained in most pregnancies after liver transplantation. Evaluation before gestation and surveillance during gestation by the related departments are mandatory. A guideline based on large cases is necessary for pregnancy after liver transplantation.

Objective To observe histologic changes of human cytomegalovirus(hCMV)-infected explants of first trimester human placenta and expression of hCMV gene in the hCMV-infected explants, and investigate the mechanism of intrauterine transmission of hCMV from mother to fetus.Methods The first trimester placenta explants cultures were carried out, and they were infected with hCMV for 10 days. The expression of hCMV immediate early protein(IEP) 72-IEP86 were determined using indirect-immuno fluorescent assay, and in situ hybridization method was used to examine the hCMV late gene (LG)mRNA. For histologic evaluation of morphological changes in villi, transmission electron microscope was used.Results (1) Typical hCMV-induced lesions bearing hCMV IEP72-IEP86 were consistently localized in the trophoblast of covering placenta villi, interstitial cell and vascular endothelia cell 12 hours after infection, and were predominant in cytotrophoblast. (2) Replication of hCMV in placenta explants culture occurred from 12 hours to 24 hours and disappeared since 48 hours after infection with different concentrations of hCMV when examined by in situ hybridization. (3) Tissue integrity and viability of first trimester placenta explants were obtained in culture for 10 days and then explants were infected with different concentrations of hCMV 100 tissue culture infectious doses(TCID_ 50 ),200 TCID_ 50 and 300 TCID_ 50 , the progression of the infection was observed in the tissue that maintained its normal cellular organization under light microscope. But typical inflammation of cellular organization was observed under transmission electron microscope. Conclusions (1) A flash replication of hCMV in placental explants culture occurs; IEP72-IEP86 may be in intrauterine infection of hCMV for a long time. (2) There are pathological ultrastructure changes in hCMV-infected explants.

Objective To discuss the metabolic characteristics and significance of peripheral blood cell and T lymphocyte subgroup in patients with air condition disease.Methods Thirty-six patients diagnosed as air condition diseases with fever and 30 patients diagnosed as non-fever patients enrolled this study as observation group(fever group and non-fever group respectively),and 30 health population were used as control.The changes of peripheral blood cell and T lymphocyte was measured using regular blood examination and flow cytometry.Results(1)No significant diffence on white blood cell was found between the three groups(F =1.89,P =0.134);(2)The percentage of neutrophils was(68.13 ±5.67)％,(53.24 ±8.36)％ and(61.25 ±6.31)％ respectively in the fever,non-fever and control group,respectively.Compared to the non-fever and control group,the percentage of neutrophils were significantly higher(t =6.64,9.13; P =0.018,0.027 respectively).No signiciant difference in the percentage of neutrophils was found between the non-fever group and control group(P =0.356,0.125).The percentage of lymphocyte percentage was(31.66 ±7.11)％,in the fever group,which was significantly higher than those of(43.67 ±8.17)％ and(30.98 ± 8.76)％ in the nonfever and control group(t =5.59,4.98 ; P =0.022,0.021 respectively).(3)The percentage of CD4 + was (36.351 ± 6.531)％,(42.676 ± 5.169)％ and(39.253 ± 5.461)％ in the fever,non-fever and control group,respectively.The percentage of CD4 + in the fever group was significantly lower than that in the non-fever group(t =1.28,P =0.039),whereas the percentage of CD4 + in the non-fever group was significantly higher than that in the control group(t =3.80,P =0.048).The percentage of CD8 + was(28.084 ± 7.344)％,(21.186 ± 6.331)％ and(24.607 ± 7.108)％,respectively.Compared to nonfever group,the percentage of CD8+ was significantly higher(t =3.17,P =0.016).(4)The ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + was(1.629 ±0.554)％、(2.380 ± 0.391)％,and(2.079 ± 0.659)％.Compared to the non-fever and control group,the ration in the fever group was siginificantly lower(t =19.21,P ＜ 0.001 ; t =6.98 ; P =0.006),whereas compared to the control group,the ratio in the non-fever group was significantly higher(t =8.68,P =0.031).Conclusion The changes of T subgroup show the unbalance immunity function network in patients with air condition disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on lung injury for patients after liver surgery. Meth-ods Sixty patients who had liver surgery in our hospital from August 2009 to February 2014 were equally divided into the treatment group and the control group, with 30 patients in each group. Both of the two groups were given one-lung ventilation anesthesia. Patients in the treatment group were given continuous intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine after induction of anesthesia while paitents in the control group were not. In the time of before induction of anesthesia (T0), closed chest (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), all patients were given the gas analysis, expression of inflammatory cytokines and lung function testing and analysis. Results The diastolic blood pressure and heart rate at time points of T0, T1 and T2 in the two groups showed no significant difference (P> 0. 05). And the expression of TNF-αand SP-D at time points of T1 and T2 in the two groups were significantly higher than those at T0 (P<0. 05);while the expression of TNF-αand SP-D in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group at time points of T1 and T2 (P<0. 05). The plateau air-way pressure and airway resistance in the treatment group at T2 and T3 were significantly lower than that at T1 (P<0. 05), and there were statistically significant differences compared with the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion The dexmedetomidine pretreatment for the liver surgery patients can inhibit the inflammatory response, while improve lung airway plateau pressure and airway resistance. It has no significant effect for blood, so it can play a protective role for lung function.

Objective To assess the clinical efficiency and side effects of topical mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray for patients with naphazoline-induced rebound rhinitis. Methods A prospective, non-randomized and self-controlled study was applied. A total of 22 patients with naphazoline-induced rhinitis received two spray-puffs of 50 μg mometason furoate twice daily to each nostril in the morning for one week, followed by two spray-puffs of 50 μg mometason furoate once daily to each nostril every morning for another three weeks after withdrawn of naphazoline therapy. Nasal congestion was evaluated by visual an-alogue scale (VAS) recorded before and after treatment. Side effects like nose bleeding and perforation of the nasal septum was detected with rhinoscope. Results The statistical difference of VAS before and after treatment was significant. No adverse reac-tions as nose bleeding and perforation of the nasal septum were observed by the end of treatment. Conclusion It is safe and effective to use mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray for treating rebound rhinitis induced by misuse of naphazoline nasal drop.
