Objective To review the various imaging modalities and their appropriate applications in the preoperative evaluation of both donors and recipients in liver transplantation (LT). Methods All the relevant literatures were reviewed. Different kinds of imaging modalities have been used in potential LT donors and recipients to assess the volume, the parenchyma and the vasculature of the liver, the biliary system, and the extrahepatic region of the upper abdomen and beyond. The techniques, the imaging findings, and the merits and shortcomings of various imaging modalities were presented.Results Traditional imaging techniques are still of valuable, while CT can provide rich and accurate information. "One-stop" comprehensive MR examination is emerging as the method of choice for the preoperative evaluation LT recipients and donors. Conclusion Each imaging method has its merits and limitations. Those imaging methods which can provide accurate and comprehensive information are likely to have better application future.

Objective To detect the changes of hemodynamics in patients with portal vein embolization (PVE) before surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and analyze the relationship between hemodynamics and liver hypertrophy. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from April 2008 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Relevant hemodynamic variables were detected and analyzed before and 3, 7, 14 days after PVE. Data were processed using Student t test or linear correlation analysis. Results The main portal vein pressure after PVE was (25.9 ± 4.1 ) cm H2O ( 1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa), which was ( 3.5 ± 2.5 ) cm H2O higher than that before PVE [( 22.4 ± 4.1 ) cm H2O] ( t = - 6. 504, P < 0.05 ). The blood flow velocity in the non-embolized branch of portal vein increased after PVE, and reached peak [(26 ±9)cm/s] at the seventh day after PVE. A positive correlation was found between the hypertrophic rate of the non-embolized lobes and the ratio of embolized lobes to total liver volume ( r = 0. 593, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Greater scope of the embolized vascular bed of portal vein induces higher hypertrophic rate of non-embolized liver.

The complete genome sequence of transmissible Gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) strain TS, previously isolated from Gansu province, was cloned and compared with published sequence data from other TGEV strains.Phylogenetic tree analysis based on the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the S gene showed that the TGEV strains were divided into 3 clusters. TGEV TS showed a close evolutionary relationship to the American Miller cluster but had a 5' non-translated region (NTR) sequence closely related to the American Purdue cluster.Continued culture in different cell types indicated that TGEV TS virulence could be attenuated alter fifty passages in Porcine kidney (PK-15) cells, and that the Porcine kidney cell line IB-RS-2 (IBRS) was not suitable for culture of the TGEV strain TS.

The structure genes spike (S), nucleocapsid (N), membrane (M), small membrane (sM) of a porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain DX isolated in Gansu province, North-west of China, were cloned, sequenced and compared with published sequences of PEDV strains. The nucleotide sequences encoding the entire S, sM, M and N genes open reading frame (ORF) of DX were 4 152, 231, 681 and 1 326 bases long respectively. There were transcription regulatory sequences (TRSs) upstream of the initiator ATG of the S, N and M genes. The amino acids sequences of S, M and N contained 30, 3 and 7 potential asparagine (N)-linked glycosylation sites. Homologous analysis and phylogenetic trees showed that DX had the closest relationship with strains LJB/06, JS-2004-2Z and CH/HLJH/06 that were also isolated from China and indicated the prevalence of some PEDV isolates in China were widespread since the JS-2004-2Z strain originated from the south of the China, and LJB/06 and CH/HLJH/06 were isolated from northeast China. The N gene was cloned using two primers which contained Nco I and BamH I restriction enzyme sites and subcloned into expression vector pET30a. The recombinant plasmid was then transformed into E.coli Rossta. SDS-PAGE showed there was a protein of about 55kDa as expected and Western blot indicated the N protein had biological activity.

There is high demand for a sensitive method for miRNA detection in clinical diagnosis. In this work, we developed a method for miRNA detection based on the surface plasmon-enhanced energy transfer ( SPEET ) between gold nanoparticles ( AuNPs ) and silver nanoclusters ( AgNCs ) , coupled with DNA polymerase and nicking enzyme-assisted isothermal amplification for target recycling. Two DNA probes ( Probe a and Probe b) were assembled onto the surface of AuNPs to form Probe b-Probe a-AuNP conjugates. Probe a consisted three domains:the complementary sequence of miRNA, the specific site of the nicking enzyme, and the self-assembly sequence for AgNCs. The 3′ end of Probe a was modified with thiol as a binding site for AuNPs. The SPEET of AgNCs and AuNPs was inhibited when miRNA was added to produce the dumbbell shaped template by polymerase. The template could promote synthesis of AgNCs, resulting in replacement and subsequently recycling of the target molecule for signal amplification. In comparison with the traditional method of miRNA detection with commercial RT-PCR kits, this method avoided the process of reverse transcription and was easy to perform. In addition, this method with a detection limit of 2. 5×10-11 mol/L was cost-effective, label-free, and highly selective for detecting miRNA, and could be applied to the analysis of miRNA in biological samples.
