Objective To improve the resection rate of central type hepatoma. Method Under selective exclusion of hepatic blood flow and the use of caritational ultrasonic surgical aspiration (CUSA), hepatectomy of central hepatic segments was performed for liver tumors. Result There were 46 cases in this group. Preoperative hepatic function was Child A in 43 cases and Child B in 3 cases. Regional entire bloodstream was excluded ranging from 8 to 33 minutes in 39 cases, Intraoperative blood loss was 100 to 2400 ml,the average was 490 ml. Postoperative hepatic function recovery to Child A grade in 43 cases within one week, postoperative aacites developed in 3 cases, jaundice in 1 case, biliary fistula in 1 case, gastroplegia in 1 case. One patient died of myocardial infarction 3 days postoperatively. Thirty-five malignant cases were followed-up with a mean period of 9 months, one died of intraabdominal metastasis 10 months postoperatively, the other 34 cases was alive without recurrence. Conclusion Hepatic regional entire bloodstream exclusion is effective in the control of intraoperative blood loss ; Hypersound-emulsifying- attractor separates blood vessels and bile ducts in hepatic hilar region. The combination of these two techniques helps in the resection of central hepatic tumors.

BACKGROUND: Some studies have demonstrated that the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM), which matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participates in, plays a key step in the corneal neovascularization (CNV). Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2), a new type serine proteinase inhibitor found recently, can effectively inhibit the activity of MMPs. Whether TFPI-2 gene transfection can influence CNV is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of TFPI-2 gene transfection on CNV.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Laboratory for Department of Surgery, Wuhan Union Hospital; Central Laboratory, the Affiliated Third Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: This study was carried out in the laboratory for Department of Surgery of Wuhan Union Hospital and State Central Laboratory of the Third Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University between June 2004 and March 2006. Sixty healthy purebred adult New Zealand rabbits of either gender, weighing 2.5 to 3.0 kg, were involved. Preoperatively, no obvious anterior segment ocular lesion was found by slit-lamp examination. pBos-Cite-neo/TFPl-2 was kindly gifted by Dr. Zhong Ren (Department of Hematology, Union Hospital). Peroxydase blocking agent, nonimmune goat serum,mouse anti-human MMP-1, 2 and 3 monoclonal antibodies, biotin labeled goat-anti-mouse IgG second antibody (Santa cruz Company) were used in this study.METHODS: Experimental intervention: Experimental rabbit models of CNV were created in each group by silver nitrate cautery. Then, the rabbit models were randomized into 3 groups and 20 rabbits for each group. Different reagents were subconjunctivally injected via many points in each group: saline in the group Ⅰ, empty vector in the group Ⅱ, plasmid encoding TFPI-2 in the group Ⅲ. Experimental evaluation: CNV growth was observed under the slit-lamp biomicroscope.The expression of TFPI-2 in each rabbit model was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method 2 weeks after modeling; the expression of MMPs in corneal tissue was detected by immunohistochemical method at 3,5,7,9 and 14 days after modeling.TFPI-2 gene expression was significantly higher in the group Ⅲ than in the group Ⅱ and group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01); The MMP-1, 2, 3 expressions in the corneal tissue were significantly lower in the group Ⅲ than in the group Ⅱ and group Ⅰ,respectively, especially MMP-1, 3.

Hepatic failure following partial liver resection is a major complication and a cause of perioperative mortality for patients with primary liver cancer. Today, many different tests have been established for liver function evaluation. These tests contain conventional tests and quantitative tests.Furthermore, we should combine them to precisely evaluate hepatic functional reserve.
