Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2011;32(3):182-185
Objective To explore a simple and effective way of establishing a 30 % small-forsize liver transplantation in rats. Methods SD rats were selected as the donors and recipients. Smallfor-size orthotopic live transplantation was performed using Kamada's two-cuff method. Donor's liver was flushed via abdominal aorta and hepatectomy in situ was done. Animals were divided into 3 groups (40 pairs of rats in each): group Ⅰ , median lobe was used as graft; group Ⅱ, right of median lobe and right lobe were used as graft; group Ⅲ, median and right lobes were used as graft. The body weight of the donor was the same as the recipient in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ , but 100~ 120 g less than in group Ⅲ. The operating time, 7-day survival and technical complications were compared among these 3 groups. Results The operating time of hepatectomy was shorter in group Ⅲ than in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (8. 8±0.7 vs 11.5± 1.1 vs 10.1 ±1.0 min, P<0.01). The cold ischemia time of graft, the anhepatic time, the operating time of recipient and the transplanting successful rate showed no significant difference among the 3 groups. Compared with groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ , the incidence of bleeding,bile leakage and IVC stricture was significantly decreased in group Ⅲ (P<0. 05). Other complications after operation showed no significant difference among the 3 groups (P>0. 05). Group Ⅲ had more 7-days survivors and longer median survival time, but there was no significant difference among the 3groups. Conclusion Small for donor body weight with median and right lobes as graft was a more effective and simple way of establishing a 30 % small-for-size liver transplantation in rats with shorter hepatectomy time and less complications after operation.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infected patients in Beijing and investigate the associated factors.Methods:The clinical data of patients with HIV infection who were treated in HIV/AIDS designated hospitals (Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Ditan Hospital and Beijing Youan Hospital) were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 11 572 patients were finally included in the study, among whom 532 patients (4.6%) were co-infected with HIV and HBV. Most of the co-infected patients were young male adults (28~48 years old), accounting for 85.9%. The main transmission route was homosexual behavior (74.8%). There were 87.4% co-infected patients treated with two anti-HBV drugs, including lamivudine (3TC) and tenofovir (TDF). From 2013 to 2018, the annual prevalence of HIV and HBV co-infection decreased gradually, with the rate of 6.37%, 4.55%, 3.92%, 4.68%, 4.24% and 2.74%, respectively. In our study, The main influencing factors of HIV and HBV co-infection were age older than 28 years old versus<28 years old ( OR=2.807, 95% CI 1.241-6.345) and marriage status (married versus unmarried, OR=1.259, 95% CI 1.004-1.579). Conclusions:The proportion of HBV infection in HIV-infected patients is 4.60% (532) in our cohort. From 2013 to 2018, the prevalence of HIV and HBV co-infection in Beijing shows a decreasing trend. The risk of co-infection is higher in married young adults (28~48 years old).

Objective To explore the methods and effects of specialty training for wound care. Methods Fourteen nurses working and studying in the wound care center received specialty training of wound care. Their current knowledge and train-ing needs were assessed through writing test and symposium before the training. Then,the training contents and plan were de-signed. The training duration was identified as 3-6 months. The open teaching method was applied in the training directed by the entrostomal therapists(ET). According to the evaluation index,the nurses were asked to finish a reading report in the first month,a case report in the second month,and group discussion on a case of complicated wound care the third month. In ad-dition,they needed to finish the exam of wound care theory and skills every three months. The correlations between perfor-mance in the examination and the nurses' age,years of working experlence,educational level,professional title,duration and times of training by correlation analysis. Results The times of training was significantly correlated with the performance in the examination(r=-0.49,P<0.05),especially with the performance of case report,reading report,and group discussion on compli-cated wound care(r=0.51,-0.60,P<0.05). There was no correlation between the performance with nurses' age,years of working experience,educational level,professional title and duration of training. Conclusion One time of specialty training at least 3 months can achieve good effect. The times of training is correlated with the training effect,especially in case report,reading report and group discussion on complicated wound care.
