Objective To evaluate the impact of donor age on graft short-term outcome after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Method Thirty living recipients were divided into 2 groups according to donor age:older donor group (O group,donor age ＞50,n =5) and younger donor group (Y group,donor age ＜30,n =25).Alanine transarninase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT) on the postoperative day 1 to 5 and graft liver regenerative ratio (LRR) on the postoperative month 0.5,1,3,and 6 between 2 groups were determined and compared.Result TB on postoperative day 1,2,3,4 and 5 was significantly higher in O group than in Y group there were significant differences between two groups (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference of other liver function parameters 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in LRRs on the postoperative month 0.5,1,3 and 6 months postoperatively between 2 groups after LDLT (P＞0.05).Conclusion Although allografts from older donors in LDLT have prolonged jaundice than those of their younger counterparts,after strictly preoperative evaluation,donor age has little effect on short-term outcomes of graft after LDLT.

Objective To evaluate graft regeneration and influencing factors after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using MSCT.Method Sixty-three living recipients were included in this study.We measured graft volume periodically by using MSCT and IQQA-Liver workstation.The liver regenerative ratio (LRR) of different stages of recipients after LDLT was calculated and compared,and stepwise regression analysis was done to set up the regression equation.Result Within 0.5 month after LDLT,graft volume was increased rapidly,and LRR reached maximum [(106.11 + 30.90)％],then decreased slowly.There was significant difference in LRR among 0.5,1 month and 3,6 months after LDLT (P＜0.05).The following factors,including whether the graft containing middle hepatic vein or not,age and sex of recipients,had no significant influence on LRR after LDLT (P＞0.05).The status of liver function of recipients preoperatively had significant influence on LRR 0.5 month after LDLT (P＜0.05).There was significantly negative correlation between the graft volume and LRRs of recipients at different stages after LDLT (P ＜ 0.05).Regression equation could be derived.Conclusion Most evident graft regeneration occurs in early stage after adult LDLT.There are many and different factors influencing graft regeneration at the different stages after LDLT.Graft volumetric measurement by using MSCT is a valid modality to evaluate graft regeneration after LDLT.

Objective To evaluate donor remnant liver regeneration and influencing factors at different stages after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT).Methods 68 living donors were included in this study,We did CT volumetric measurement of the liver by using IQQA-Liver workstation.Liver regenerative ratio (LRR) at different stages of donors after LDLT were calculated and compared,correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were calculated.Results The difference between LRRs at different stages after LDLT were significant (F =3.323,P =0.009),there were significant difference between LRR of 7-day and 1-month,3-month (respectively t =-2.065,-2.214,all P ＜ 0.05).The inclusion of middle hepatic vein and donor gender had no influence on LRR (respectively t =0.600,-0.622,1.464,0.926,-1.228,0.624,-0.688,0.131,all P ＞ 0.05).There were negative correlation between the remnant liver volume and LRRs (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions MSCT is a valid modality to evaluate remnant liver regeneration after LDLT.Most evident remnant liver regeneration occurs in early stage after adult LDLT.

Objective To evaluate the impact of donor age on early remnant liver function and regeneration after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) donation.Methods 43 living donors were divided into 2 groups:donor age ＞ 50,n =8,and donor age ＜ 30,n =35.Alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TB) and liver regenerative ratio (LRR) of donors between the 2 groups were compared.Results There were no significantly different in ALT,AST and TB on days 1,2,3,5 after LDLT between the 2 groups (respectively t =0.147,1.030,-0.903,0.013,0.043,1.362,0.817,0.003,1.121,0.241,1.061 and 0.943,all P＞0.05).There was significant difference between LRR on day 7 (t =-0.965,P =0.042),but the difference was not statistically significant in LRR when evaluated on day 15 after LDLT (t =0.585,P =0.385).Conclusions Remnant liver regeneration on the first week is reversely affected by donor's age after hepatectomy,while the influence of age decreases significantly after 2 weeks.

To clone the differential genes in antibiotic resistence Neisseria gonorrhoeae,the library that contains the fragments of differential genes between antibiotic resistance strain and standard reference strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was constructed which used suppression subtractive hybridization technique. Then the antibiotic resistance relational genes fragments were cloned and analyzed. Antibiotic resistance Neisseria gonorrhoeae subtractive library that has high subtractive efficiency was set up successfully. The amplified library contained 2500 positive clones. Sequence analysis was performed to find the fragments of antibiotic resistance relational genes. Five sequences were unknown previously. The fragments of antibiotic resistance genes may provide an important clue for studying the mechanism of occurrence and development of antibiotic resistance Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Objective To evaluate MSCT appearance and impaction of Ⅴ, Ⅷ segments' hepatic venous congestion ( HVC ) on hepatic functional recovery in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Methods In this study, 83 patients undergoing LDLT in our hospital were included, all subjects received plain and contrast MSCT examinations at early stage (within 1 month) and later stage (3 months later) after LDLT. MSCT appearance of HVC was recorded, at the same time, gutamic pyruvic transaminase ( ALT),glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST), total bilirubin (TB) and prothrombin time (PT) of 1 to 7 days after LDLT between congestion group and non-congestion group were recorded and compared.Results Segments Ⅴ and Ⅷ congestion was identified by after LDLT CT scanning in 20 patients (24. 10% ). Congestion volume and congestion ratio was (218. 25 ± 130. 29) cm3 and 16. 68% ±8. 81%,respectively. HVC often appear as hypoattenuation on plain CT scan and arterial phase, mixed or hyperattenuation on portal vein phase. There was no significant difference of ALT, AST, TB and PT after LDLT between congestion group and non-congestion group (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusions MSCT is a valuable method to evaluate Ⅴ, Ⅷ segments' HVC after LDLT, most HVC has no impaction on hepatic functional recovery in LDLT patients.

Objective To analyze the discrepancy and similarities of clinical characteristics in elderly patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and ischemic colitis (IC).Methods A total of 43 elderly patients (age≥60 yrs) with UC and 36 elderly patients with IC were enrolled from 2004 to 2015 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.The clinical characteristics were retrospectively analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results Compared with IC group,the disease course was longer with lower incidence of cardiovascular comorbidities in UC patients (P ＜ 0.05).In UC group,more patients presented with diarrhea,mucopurulent bloody stool [39 (90.7％) vs 16 (44.4％) and 34 (79.1％) vs 2 (5.6％)respectively,both P ＜ 0.01].Yet bloody stool as the only symptom was seen in more IC patients than UC patients [61.1％ (22/36) vs 7.0％ (3/43),P ＜ 0.01].The ratio of extra-intestinal manifestations was higher [18.6％ (8/43) vs 0 (0/36)] in UC patients,while complications were lower [11.6％ (5/43) vs 30.6％ (11/36),P ＜ 0.05].As to the laboratory parameters,median platelet count [(294.38 ± 104.83) × 109/L vs (235.47±94.82) × 109/L,P ＜0.05] was higher in UC group.In addition,more patients with UC had positive perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA) [50.0％ (15/30) vs 10.0％ (2/20),P ＜ 0.05].The most commonly involved regions of IC were descending colon and sigmoid colon,in which the lesions were clearly demarcated with the normal mucosa.Lesions in patients with UC mainly originated from rectum and might spread to the whole colon.Vascular occlusion and micro thrombosis were characteristic pathological findings of IC.The crypt abscesses were frequently seen in the UC group.Conclusion Even though UC and IC have some similar manifestations in the elderly patients,clinical and pathological discrepancy is still helpful to differentiate each other.

Objective To investigate the predictors of deep remission in patients with Crohn′s disease (CD)treated with infliximab.Methods From February 2008 to February 2015 ,the clinical, laboratory and follow up data of 44 CD patients who received infliximab treatment and maintained clinical remission over six months were retrospectively analyzed.Mucosal healing was defined as no ulcer under endoscopy.Deep remission was defined as clinical remission with mucosal healing.According to results of endoscopy examination,the enrolled patients were divided into deep remission group and non-deep remission group.T test or Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for comparison of measurement data between groups,and chi square test was performed for the rate comparison.Multivariate analysis was made with Logistic regression.Results Median age of 44 patients was 19.5 yeares,39 males (88.6%),five females (11 .4%),and the median disease duration was 35 .0 months (18.5 to 73.5 months).Deep remission was achieved in 20 CD patients with long-time follow-up (median follow-up time 19 months,12 to 29 months). The mean duration of achieving deep remission was (28.9 ± 14.3 )weeks.There was no statistically significant difference between 20 patients with deep remission and 24 patients without deep remission in age of onset,disease duration,smoking status,Montreal phenotype,concurrent medications (mesalazine, steroids and azathioprine ), as well as body mass index (BMI ) and laboratory tests (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP),hemoglobin (Hb)and platelet (PLT)count)before administrating.The results of Logistic regression demonstrated that extraintestinal manifestations (arthralgia)(odds ratio (OR)=29.9,95 % confidence interval (CI )1 .26 -714.20,P =0.036),normalization of hs CRP at 14 th week after induced remission (OR=0.88,95 %CI 0.78-0.99, P =0.045)and thrombocytopenia (OR = 0.98,95 %CI 0.96 - 0.99,P = 0.016 )were independent predictive factors of deep remission.Conclusions Infliximab could effectively maintain long term deep remission in treatment of CD.Arthralgia,normalization of hsCRP and PLT counts at 14 th week after induced remission are predictive factor of deep remission.
