Objective To analyze and evaluate the efficay of split liver transplantation in children.Method From September 2006 to December 2014,210 children were treated with liver transplantation in Tianjin First Central Hospital.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and the difference in postoperative survival was compared between the groups.The 210 childrens were categorized into living donor liver transplantation group (183 cases) and split liver transplantation group (27 cases) based on their operation styles.In living group,all donors to recipients were immediate relatives within three generations.In split group,all donors were men,and livers were obtained from no heartbeat donors.Postoperatively,tacrolimus combined a duplex of prednisolone served as immunosuppression scheme.The survival and incidence of complications were observed.Result There was significant difference in the sex ratio between two groups (P<0.05).The donor liver cold ischemia time was significantly longer in split group than in living group (P<0.05).The 1-month,6-month,1-year and 2-year overall survival rate in 210 recipients was 99.5%,98.1%,96.2% and 94.2% respectively.The median follow-up time in living group and split group was 15.2months and 26.1 months,respectively.The 1-mont,6-month,1-year and 2-year survival rate was 99.5%,96.7%,92.6% and 74.1 % in living group,and 97.8%,96.2%,77.8% and 74.0% in split group,respectively (P<0.05).During the follow-up period,8 cases died (29.6%) in split group (5deaths due to infection and sepsis,and 3 deaths due to multiple organ failure),and 10 cases died (5.5%) in living group (6 deaths due to infection and sepsis,and 4 deaths due to multiple organ failure).Conclusion In the case of strict selection of donors,split liver transplantation can obtain good effect,but the incidence of complications is higher than living donor liver transplantation.Especially,the biliary complications should be prevented and managed actively.

Objective To identify the long-term survival of patients with hepatic carcinoma who received hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive donor livers.Method A total of 195 patients were enrolled in the study.They were all diagnosed as having hepatic carcinoma with malignant thrombus in portal vein pre-operation and received liver transplantations between 1999 and 2014.The long-term survival between the patients who received HBsAg positive grafts and those who received HBsAg negative grafts was compared.Result There were no differences in ages,preoperative tumor stages and postoperative mortality between the two groups.There was significant difference in survival time between the two groups (Z=-2.038,P =0.042),with the median survival time of 8.83 months (2.50-24.80 months) in HBsAg positive graft group and 13.12 months (6.50-27.65 months) in HBsAg negative graft group,respectively.The long-term survival rate in HBsAg positive graft group was 48% and that in HBsAg negative graft group was 34.7% (P =0.740,x2 =0.110).However,the proportion of deaths due to recurrence of tumor was high to 75.8% in all causes.Conclusion To prolong the survival time,it is safe and feasible to receive HBsAg positive donor livers in patients with hepatic carcinoma in late stage.However,tumor recurrence was still the main causes of deaths in patients post-operation because of the advanced tumor conditions pre-operation.

Objective To analyze the incidence and risk factors of de novo hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection from anti-HBc-positive donors in pediatric living donor liver transplantation and to explore the diagnosis and treatment.Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 105 cases of pediatric living donor liver transplantaions (LT) perfomed during September 2006 to December 2013.HBV markers,including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody (anti-HBs),anti-HBc,hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and antibody (anti-HBe) were determined in both donors and recipients before LT and in recipients after LT.HBV DNA titer was measured if the recipients were strongly suspected of de novo HBV infection.Result After 4 perioperative deaths were excluded,101 cases were studied.The median follow-up period of all the patients was 20.5 months (2.7-97.7 months).de novo HBV infection occurred in 6 of 101 recipients (5.9%) 3.5 18 months after LT.Forty-four (43.6%) of the children received HBcAb-positive allografts,and 11.4% (5/44) of the children were had de novo hepatitis B infection.All five of the HBV-infected children received HBcAb-positive allografts without preventive treatment in 11 cases (5/11,45.5 %),57 (56.4%) of the children received HBcAb-negtive allografts,and 1.7% (1/57) of the children had de novo hepatitis B infection.Conclusion Anti-HBc-positive donors can significantly increase the incidence of de novo HBV infection in HBsAg-negative recipients without preventive treatment.with the appropriate treatment strategy,HBcAb allografts can safely used in pediatric recipients.
