Objective To discuss the liver function recovery affected by the portal vein flow in patients who underwent adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using the right lobe. Methods Seventy-four donors and recipients were included in this study. Intraoperative Doppler ultrasound (IOUS)were performed before splitting the donor liver and 1 hour after the graft reperfusion. The diameter and velocity of portal vein were measured and recorded for calculation of portal vein flow(PVF). Liver function tests were undertaken at the day 2nd,7th, 15th and 30th postoperative,respectively. Results One hour after reperfusion of 74 grafts,the PVF were significantly increased (2. 84 ± 0. 93) fold. Seventy-four grafts were divided into 4 groups according to the different degrees of the increase of PVF. The levels of blood bilirubin total(TBIL) among 4 groups were differently at the day 2nd,7th, 15th and 30th postoperative. High PVF contributed to recipient's prolonged hyperbilirubinemia ( P ＜0. 001 ). The levels of ALT, AST among 4 groups were differently at the day 7th, 15th and 30th postoperative( P ＜0. 001). Conclusions Detection of portal vein hemodynamics in living donor liver transplantation by IOUS may assist surgeon to anticipate the graft's function and take surgical therapies to secure the graft and the recipient.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of glioma microenvironment and COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib on the phenotypes and function of dendritic cell (DC).MethodsThe expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production were detected in glioma C6 cells treated with different concentration of celecoxib.Monocytes were isolated from human peripheral blood and cultured with 200 ng/ml rhGM-CSF and 50 ng/ml rhIL-4,either C6 tumor cells supernatant (TSN) or TSN from C6 cells treated with celecoxib to generate DCs.Cell morphology was observed.Cell phenotype including CD1a,CD80,CD83 and D86 were analyzed on a FACScan.Production of IL-12 in DC supernatant and the potential to stmiulate allogeneic T cell proliferation were detected.ResultsThe expression of COX-2 and PGE2 production in C6 cells decreased after treated with celecoxib in a concentration dependant manner.Typical DCs were induced in all groups and the expression of CD1a ((75.56±2.40)％,(75.09±3.67)％,(76.03 ±3.43)％),CD83((72.04±3.45)％,(71.44±3.78)％,( 73.63 ± 3.31 ) ％ ) had no difference (P ＞ 0.05 ).Expression of CD80 ( ( 58.41 ± 3.85 ) ％ ),CD86 ( ( 58.22 ±3.25)％ ) in DC with TSN obviously decreased compared with normal group( (70.36 ± 2.91 )％,(69.31 ±4.29 ) ％,P ＜ 0.01 ) as well as the IL-12 production ( ( 137.88 ± 5.33 ) pg/ml,( 186.04 ± 4.76 ) pg/ml) and the potential to stmiulate allogeneic T cell proliferation ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Celecoxib increased the expression of CD80,CD86 (66.83 ± 2.51,63.51 ± 5.47,P＜ 0.01 ) in DC and the same as IL-12 production( ( 170.31 ± 3.46) pg/ml,P ＜ 0.01 ) and the potential to stmiulate allogeneic T cell proliferation ( P ＜ 0.01 ),which were lower than the normal level.ConclusionGlioma microenvironment may induce the celecoxib can inhibit the expression of COX-2 and PGE2 in gliomas cells and improve the phenotypes and function defect of DCs.

Objective To summarize the clinical features and vascular lesions in patients who suffered from cerebellar infarction with vertebral artery hypoplasia(VAH). Methods Retrospective analysis was used in the research. The selected patients suffered from cerebellar infarction with VAH or stenosis (stenosis rate≥50%). Seventy-one patients with cerebellar infarction were enrolled. There were 34 patients in VAH group and 37 patients in vertebral artery stenosis group. The age, sex, risk factors, clinical manifestations and characteristics of vascular examination were compared. Results The age, sex, risk factors between two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). The scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) between two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). The proportion of early neurological deterioration in VAH group (41.2%, 14/34) was higher than that in vertebral artery stenosis group (18.9%, 7/37), χ2=4.21, P<0.05. There were more patients with anterior circulation artery stenosis in the VAH group (35.3%, 12/34), compared with that in artery stenosis group (13.5%, 5/37),χ2=4.62, P<0.05. Except the ipsilateral vertebral artery, other arteries stenosis in VAH group (44.1%, 15/34) was significantly higher than that in vertebral artery stenosis group (13.5%, 5/37),χ2=8.20, P<0.05. Conclusions Cerebellar infarction with vertebral artery hypoplasia is more likely to have multiple cerebral arterial stenosis (stenosis rate ≥50%). The patients who suffered from cerebellar infarction with vertebral artery hypoplasia might be prone to early neurological deterioration.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis of postoperative complications after pancreas transplantation.Methods Eighty-six post pancreastransplantation patients were examined by CEUS to observe the perfusion of contrast agent,plot timeintensity curve (TIC),and compare to the results of enhanced CT,MRI and pathology.Results Eleven cases of thrombosis,13 cases of rejection and 13 cases of pancreatitis were observed among 86 patients.Result from CEUS showed that:① Distribution of normal pancreatic grafts vascular and parenchyma was even,TIC follows positive skewed distribution.②Thrombosis:there was no perfusion in the embolic vessels and no enhancement or low uneven enhancement in the parenchyma.③ Rejection:perfusion of the parenchyma was slow,peak value was decreased,rising and falling slope of the TIC was reduced with blunt peak.④Pancreatitis:perfusion of the parenchyma was uneven,the regional low enhanced area was visible,clear of the contrast agent was relatively slow,rising slope of TIC was reduced and the peak value was decreased.Conclusions CEUS can monitor the perfusion of the pancreatic grafts vascular and parenchyma,and get useful perfusion parameters.It has been proven as an effective method to definitely diagnose postoperative complications after pancreas transplantation.

Objective To investigate the quantitative analysis of tissue diffusion of real-time elastography(RTE) in chronic renal allograft injury(CRAI) and the relationship between RTE and the level of serum creatinine(Cr).Methods Sixty-nine cases of allograft renal transplantation patients were detected by conventional ultrasound and RTE.According to the time after operation and Cr,they were divided into three groups:group A (in three months after operation and normal Cr,25 cases),group B (more than three months after operation and normal Cr,23 cases),and group C (more than three months after operation and high Cr,21 cases).The results were compared and analyzed.Results ①Contrast between group A and group B,there were differences on Cr and average ralative strain value(MEAN),area ratio of low-strain region (％ AREA),complexity (COMP),skewness (SKEW),(P ＜ 0.05).② In group B,there was correlation between Cr and ％AREA,MEAN,SKEW (r =0.682,P ＜0.05; r =0.628,P ＜0.05; r =-0.481,P ＜0.05).③To make ROC curve,MEAN has higher sensitivity (90.9％),COMP has higher specificity and accuracy (68.0％,81.8％).④ To apply the third result in group C,4 or 5 cases in 21 were abnormal.Conclusions There is a good correlation between the quantitative analysis of tissue diffusion and the level of serum creatinine.RTE can indirectly reflect CRAI,and it is a new method of ultrasonic to evaluate renal allograft function.
