Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of liver transplantation for liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.Methods The clinical data of 181 patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Peking University from January 2000 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The efficacy of liver transplantation for liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension was investigated.The indications of liver transplantation included repeated upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage,failure of medication,surgical treatment and interventional therapy,and portal hypertension combined with hepatic functional decompensation.Orthotropic liver transplantation or piggyback liver transplantation was selected according to the condition of the patients.The pressures of the portal vein were detected before and after the transplantation of the liver graft by the manometer tube.The incidence of postoperative complications was detected.Patients were followed up regularly till December 2012.The varices and rebleeding of the esophageal veins and the survival of the patients were monitored.The survival rates was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and the measurement data were analyzed using the t test.Results Of the 181 patients,65 received orthotropic liver transplantation,and 116 received piggyback liver transplantation.The operation time,volume of blood loss and anhepatic phase were (485 ± 97) minutes,(4 380 ± 1 993) mL and (56 ± 24) minutes,respectively.T tube was placed in 157 patients.The portal vein pressure was detected in 102 patients.The portal vein pressures before and after liver transplantation were (32 ± 11) cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) and (21 ± 6) cmH2O,respectively.There was significant difference in the portal vein pressure before and after liver transplantation (t =2.412,P ＜ 0.05).Severe infection was detected in 23 patients,acute renal failure in 20 patients,severe abdominal bleeding in 6 patients,vascular complications in 5 patients and primary graft non-function in 2 patients after liver transplantation.A total of 181 patients were followed up for 6-131 months.One hundred and thirty-eight patients received endoscopy or upper gastrointestinal imaging at 1 year after liver transplantation.The varices were disappeared in 112 patients and alleviated in 26 patients,with the overall alleviation rate of 85.71％ (138/161).Four patients were complicated with upper gastrointestinal rebleeding within 1 year after liver transplantation,and the rebleeding rate was 3.70％ (4/108).The condition of 3 patients was alleviated by haemostatics and endoscopic treatment,and 1 patient died of liver failure caused by rebleeding.The 1-month,1-,5-year survival rates were 86.8％,84.9％ and 77.4％,respectively.Twenty-three patients died.Fifteen patients died of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome,5 died of vascular complications (2 died of hepatic artery thrombosis,2 died of portal vein thrombosis and 1 died of anastomotic stricture of vena cava),2 died of primary graft non-function,and 1 died of respiratory complications.Conclusion Liver transplantation is an efficient method for the treatment of liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension with the advantages of low rebleeding rate and ideal efficacy of reducing portal vein pressure.

Objective To preliminarily study the effect of high concentration prolactin (PRL) on the immune system in schizo-phrenic patients by analyzing the changes of lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulins (IgG ,IgM ,IgA) levels .Methods The flow cytometry was used to detect the T lymphocytes CD3+ ,CD4+ and CD8+ subsets ,NK cell percentages and CD4+ /CD8+ ratio re-spectively .The three humoral immune indicators(IgG ,IgM ,IgA) in peripheral blood were detected by using the immunoturbidimet-ric turbidimetric method .The data were analyzed by adopting the analysis of variance .Results Compared with the healthy control group and schizophrenia normal PRL group ,T lymphocytes CD4+ subsets percentages and CD4+ /CD8+ ratio as well as IgG were increased in the schizophrenia PRL increase group(P<0 .05) ,while the percentage of NK cells was decreased(P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion High concentration PRL may have a certain effect on the immune system by influencing the balance among lymphocyte sub-sets and the production of immunoglobulins .

CM gynecology is one of the main courses of traditional Chinese medicine. The cultivation of the doctor-patient communication skills is a very important among the eduction of graduate students. The paper was encouraged to summarize the condition and problems of doctor-patient communication, in order to standardize CM gynecology training and improve the quality of teaching practice.

The National Excellent Course of Gynecology of Chinese Medicine is a main clinical subject of TCM,which puts emphasis on clinical application.The non-medical doctoral students are lack of the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and clinical experience,and the existing classroom teaching has the problem of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine being out of line with the clinical application,which has become the hindering factors of TCM gynecology teaching.By designing and perfecting the process of preparation before class-classroom teaching-discussion teaching-clinical probation-after class feedback,the related teaching teachers better improve the non medical doctoral students' ability to put the traditional Chinese medicine gynecology basic knowledge into clinical practice,which is well received by the students.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of spontaneous discharges of hippocampal pyramidal cells (PC) in rats in age and memory groups with the help of nonlinear theory. Methods Rats were randomly divided into age group and memory group. Age group included aged group (16-19 months) and young group (3-4 months) whereas memory group included good memory and poor memory groups in adult. Extracellular single cell recording was performed in vivo . Results No characteristics of the rhythm of spontaneous discharges of hippocampal pyramidal cells in distribution figure of interspike interval(ISI) were found, but the loss of complexity(C) and low percentage of favored patterns(PF) were found in age and poor memory groups. Conclusion The ISI complexity and the PF of the hippocampal pyramidal cells are correlated to age and memory, suggesting that the analysis of the complexity and favored patterns may be helpful for the discovery of the characteristics of the information coding in spontaneous discharges of hippocampal pyramidal cells.

Objective To analyze clinical features,surgical treatment efficacy and prognostic factors of bone metastasis patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods A retrospective clinical data of 20 bone metastasis patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma from July 2000 to January 2010 were received.The effect of surgery aimed at bone metastasis was evaluated.Univariate and multivariate prognostic risk factors were analyzed.Results The median survival time of these patients was 7.5 months and 1-year survival rate was only 20％.Surgical treatment could relieve pain and promote patients' peformance status significantly.Univariate and multivariate analysis found that tumor microvascular invasion within the removed recipient liver was the only prognostic risk factor.Conclusions Patients of bone metastasis after liver transplantation for HCC had poor prognosis.Surgical treatment helps improve patient's quality of life.Tumor microvascular invasion is the risk factor of surgical prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the application of helix hydro-jet in laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH).Methods Clinical data of 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy by helix hydro-jet were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 18 cases including 9 cases of hepatic cavernous hemangioma,5 cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma,2 cases of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia,1 case of hepatic metastasis from colon carcinoma and 1 case of biliary cystadenoma in left liver.In 17 out of 18 patients laparoscopic hepatectomy was successfully completed by using helix hydro-jet.Only 1 patient was converted to open hepatectomy during operation due to uncontrollable hemorrhage from the branch of left hepatic vein.Partial hepatectomy was performed in 14 cases and hepatic left lateral hepatectomy was performed in 3 cases.Average intraoperative blood loss was 230 ml and average operation time was 170 minutes.No postoperative hemorrhage and hepatic function failure was observed.Postoperative bile leakage was observed in 1 patient,which was cured by drainage.Asymptomatic pleural effusions was found in 2 patients,necessitating no special intervention.The average hospital stay after the surgery was 5.6 days.5 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were followed up for an average of 17 months and the patient converted to open hepatectomy suffered from tumor recurrence 13 month postoperatively.No implantation metastasis was observed on the trocar sites.Conclusions Laparoscopic hepatectomy by helix hydro-jet device can provide excellent visualization of vessels and bile ducts,which can assure the safe margin of hepatic neoplasm.No severe complications were observed.Laparoscopic hepatectomy by helix hydro-jet is a safe and feasible technique.
