The MDA contents of platelet, plasma and lung tissue in rat endotoxemia were measured by TBA fluorescent method. It was showed that the lipid peroxidation of platelet and plasma was significantly increased, but there was no notable change of the lung tissue.

The endotoxemia model was established by intraabdominal injection of endotoxin Coli B. (E. Coli O55B5,8 mg/kg weight)in albino rats. Two hours before administration of endotoxin, the ejiao recovery-pulse decoction was perfused into the stomach tube of the rats in the experimental group (10mg/kg weight), and 12h later, the platelets were counted, kaolin activated partial thromboplastin time (KPTT), prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time (TT) were measured, and malondialdehyed (MDA) levels in plasma and platelet were determined by thiobarituric acid (TBA) fluorometry. The results demonstrate that the ejiao recovery-pulse decoction could prevent from peripheral platelet dropping, KPTT and TT prolonging and MDA level rising which were caused by endotoxin.

5 cm and portal vein tumor thrombus significantly affect the tumor-free survival of the patients.

Objective To study the early diagnosis and management of the patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with ARDS caused by CMV pneumonia after liver transplantation in our hospital from April 2001 to May 2004 was retrospectively analyzed. All cases were treated with intravenous infusion of gancyclovir, reduced dosage of cyclosporine A or tacrolimus to 1/3~1/2 of baseline and withdrawal of MMF and prednisone. The patients were subjected to breathing machine assist ventilation and nutrition supply.Results Five patients recovered and 3 died. No one developed acute rejection. Conclusions The key of early diagnosis lies in combining chest X-ray or CT scan with clinical presentation. Administration with anti-viral drugs, adjustment of immunosuppressive agents, management with breathing machine assist ventilation and effective nutrition supply are important for the treatment of patients with ARDS caused by CMV pneumonia after liver transplantation.

Objective To study the clinical application of Multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in renal arterial stenosis. Methods 36 patients clinically suspected of renovascular hypertension were examined by 16 slice or 64 slice spiral CT angiography. After scanning , three dimensional reconstruction of the blood vessels were operated. 28 cases were detected diseases of renal vessels and perivascular, and then compared with DSA. Results In the 36 cases, MSCTA showed 19 renal areterial stenosis, 3 adrenal gland neoplasms, 2 adrenal hyperplasia, 1 polycystic kidney disease. In 19 cases with MSCTA , there were 2 double renal areterial stenosis and 2 renal areterial anatomical variants. DSA showed 21 renal areterial stenosis with various degree, the accordant rate of MSCTA and DSA exceeded 90%. Conclusion MSCTA play an important role in clinical application in diagnosis of renal arterial stenosis.

With the increasing demand for liver transplantation,some previously abandoned donors,called marginal donor,started to be involved in clinical liver transplantation,which raises higher requirement on the organ preservation methods.Normothermic perfusion is regarded to be superior to the currently adopted hypothermic perfusion,and plays an important role in the organ preservation of marginal donors.This review will summarize the clinical applications of liver normothermic perfusion in transplantation and repair,as well as its roles in basic research.

Objective To investigate the repair function of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in vivo for the liver after cardiac death with warm ischemia injury for 30 min from cardiac death swinc.Method Ten landraces,30 to 40 kg,randomized to experimental group and control group,were used to make 30-min cardiac death models through clamping trachea after deep anesthesia.An intravenous cannula was placed through right iliac arteries and veins,and connected to ECMO extracorporeal circulation pipes in experimental group.The balloon catheter was placed to diaphragm plane through left femoral artery.The ECMO was performed to infuse abdominal organs,and pH and electrolyte were adjusted.The circulation flow rate,intraperitoneal organ perfusion pressure,venous blood gas,electrolyte,transaminase,and bile product,etc.were monitored and recorded.The livers of control group were retrieved after 30-min cardiac arrest and stored in cold UW for 4 h.Pathological tissue was sliced and stained by HE.Result After 30-min cardiac arrest,the liver showed obvious congestion appearance; pathologically,there were hepatic sinus expansion,blood cells clog,and erythrocyte aggregation.Circulating blood gas analysis revealed severe acidosis.After the ECMO recirculation started,circulation flow rate maintained to 1 L/min,the liver gradually restored bright red,pathological biopsy showed that hepatic sinus expansion disappeared,and clogged blood cells dispelled.AST was markedly increased to (226.0 ± 28.0) U/L after 30-min cardiac arrest and reduced to (150.0 ± 30.0) U/L 4 h after the ECMO recirculation.Average bile production was 7.75 ml/h.Conclusion ECMO recirculation in vivo can repair the injured livers from cardiac death donor with 30-min cardiac arrest.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic metastasis from gastrointestinal stromal turnor(GIST).Methods The clinical data of 16 patients with GIST who had been admitted to our hospitalfrom December 1993 to May 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of all patients,14 underwent radical resection and 2 underwent palliative operation.Two patients with palliative operation and 3 with radical resection were administered with imatinib postoperatively. All patients were followed up for 3-161 months,and GIST metastasis and invasion was observed in 8 of the 14 patients who received radical resection.Of the 7 patients with hepatic metastasis.3 were treated with hepatic artery chemoembolization,1 was administered with imatinib,2 received reoperation and 1 did not receive any treatment. Reoperation was carried out on 1 patient who had abdominal wall metastasis.The 1-and 3-year survival rates of the 16 patients were 92%and 74%,respectively.Conclusions The recurrence rate of GIST after hepatectomy is high.Complete surgical resection is the best curative treatment for hepatic metastasis from GIST and GIST recurrence.The combination of surgical resection and imatinib administration may help to improve the prognosis of patients with hepatic metastasis from GIST.

Objective To study the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in donor preservation and organ procurement of donation after citizens' death.Method From 2013 to 2014,according to the ECMO indications,we used ECMO to provide circulation and breathing support for circulatory or respiratory function failure donation after brain death (DBD) donor and uncontrolled donation after cardiac death(DCD) donors.Through percutaneous liver puncture and living tissue rapid frozen section,the liver steatosis and fibrosis degree was determined.ECMO indications,ECMO related parameters and the result of blood gas analysis were recorded.alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and creatinine(Cr) before and after ECMO intervention were detected to evaluate liver and kidney function and damage.Whether the liver and kidney reached the requirements of the organ transplantation was assessed.Result The ECMO was used in 6 donors.Five cases of DBD were assisted through V-A ECMO because of circulatory or respiratory function failure.In one case of uncontrolled DCD recirculation was established through the thoracic aorta-blocked V-A ECMO.Four livers and 8 kidneys,from 4 donors,were retrieved and transplanted.Two donors' organs were discarded for damage beyond the standard.Conclusion For DBD donor with circulatory or respiratory function failure and uncontrolled DCD donors,the use of ECMO to assist circulatory and respiratory function or establish DCD recirculation can avoid liver and kidney injuries from vascular active drugs and DCD warm ischemia injury,thus,reduce the organ discarding rate of donation after citizens' death.

Objective To investigate the effects of preventive chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exceeding Milan criteria after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 243 patients who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation for HCC exceeding Milan criteria from April 2001 to July 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all patients, 162 received preventive chemotherapy after transplantation. Results The 1- and 3-year survival rates and disease-free survival rates were not statistically different between patients who had received chemotherapy (78.5%, 63.7% ; 76.8%, 52.5% ) and those without chemotherapy (56.6%, 39.1%; 69.3%, 64.7% ) (X2 = 3.084, 0.444, P > 0.05). Cox regression analysis demonstrated that postoperative chemotherapy was not an independent factor affecting the survival rates of HCC patients without vascular invasion, but an independent factor affecting the survival rates of HCC patients with vascular invasion. Conclusions Early preventive chemotherapy could obviously increase the survival rate and delay the tumor recurrence of patients with HCC exceeding Milan criteria, especially for HCC patients with vascular invasion.
