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 evaluate the clinical value of choledochoscopy combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) for the treatment of pancreatolithiasis. Methods From October 2002 to July 2006, choledochoscopy combined with EHL was used in 11 patients with pancreatolithiasis during a dissection of the pancreatic duct combined with pancreato-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis (EHL group). The data of these patients were compared with the data of 12 patients with pancreatolithiasis, who were treated by routine dissection of the pancreatic duct combined with pancreato-jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis from January 1995 to September 2002 (Routine group). Results The intraoperative blood loss and the postoperative rate of residual stones in the EHL group were significantly less than those in the routine group [(145.5?82.0) ml vs (406.7?384.9) ml, t=-2.201, P= 0.039; and 0% vs 41.7%, P= 0.037]. The postoperative rate of pain relief in the EHL group was higher than that in the routine group (90.9% vs 58.3%), however the difference was not significant (P=0.155). In the EHL group, 6 patients had diarrhea before the operation, 4 of them achieved relief after the surgery (4/6), which was not significantly more than that in the routine group (5/9, P=1.000). Before the operation, 7 patients in the EHL group and 9 in the routine group had diabetic mellitus; in each group, the disease was relieved in 2 patients after the operation (2/7 vs 2/9, P=0.665). Conclusions Choledochoscopy combined with EHL is effective for the treatment of pancreatolithiasis. The procedure can increase the rate of stone removal, decrease the intraoperative blood loss, and elevate the postoperative rate of pain relief.

Objective To introduce the experience of l ap aroscopic modified Swenson pull-through procedure for the treatment of Hirschspr ung's disease (HD). Methods A modified Swenson procedure was performed in 100 cases of HD, including 21 cases of short-segment phenotype, 72 cases of common phenotype, and 7 cases of long-segment phenotype. The patients w ere aged 8 months ~ 7 years, with a mean age of 1.5 years. A 0? or 30? laparos cope, with an inner diameter of 0.5 cm, was advanced from the umbilicular port, and operating instruments were introduced into the left and right lower quadaran t of the abdomen. The carbon dioxide was insufflated in the abdominal cavity at a pressure of 8~12 mmHg. Biopsies from the colonic seromuscular layer were made for pathological examinations. Laparoscopic dissection of blood vessels of the m esocolon was carried out closely near the colon, until the level 0.5~1 cm above the dentate line. The rectum and sigmoid was mobilized outside through the anus to complete rectal dissection. The proximal colon then was anastomosed to the re ctum by means of full-thickness suture and diagonal heart-shaped closure. Results All the cases were cured, without fatal cases. The operation time was 80~170 min (mean, 110 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was less than 10 ml. There were 5 cases of subcutaneous emphysema and 6 cases of urinary retention. On a follow-up in all the cases for 6~18 months, 5 cases of colitis, 2 cases of soiling, 1 case of anastomotic stricture, and 1 case of delayed anas tomotic leakage were observed. Conclusions Laparoscopic modifi ed Swenson pull-through procedure for Hirschsprung's disease is worthy of being recommended for its minimal invasion and simplicity of performance.
