Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage liver diseases.To expand the donor source,the Ministry of Health (MOH) initiated a new national program called Donation of Citizen's Deceased (DCD) to address the need for organ transplantation in 2010.However,it has been proven that DCD liver transplantation has the poorer graft function in short-and long-term outcome compared to live donor liver transplantation.In order to improve the effect of DCD liver transplantation,the preconditioning of DCD liver,as an effective measure,is gaining more and more attention.This review summarizes the recent research progress on the application of preconditioning in DCD liver transplantation during perioperative period.

Tooth ankylosis is a clinical condition where the tooth cementum directly fuses with the surrounding alveolar bone,leading to functional and aesthetic defects.The etiology involves genetic,metabolic,and local stimulation factors.The diagnosis of tooth ankylosis requires a combination of clinical manifestations and imaging examinations to improve the diagnostic accuracy.The treatment of tooth ankylosis presents significant challenges.Orthodontic treatment combined with other disciplines offers a new,comprehensive treatment approach,integrating traditional orthodontic techniques with osteotomy,distraction osteogenesis,orthodontic bone traction,corticotomy,dislocation,and autologous tooth transplantation techniques.The treatment of tooth ankylosis requires the cooperation of multiple disciplines,and the experts from orthodontics,oral surgery,and oral medicine collaborate to develop the optimal treatment plan.This comprehensive treatment method achieves better outcomes compared with traditional treatments.This review discusses the etiology,diagnosis,and orthodontic combined multidisciplinary treatment methods of tooth ankylosis,analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment options,evaluates the efficacy and risks,and provides new perspectives for the treatment of tooth ankylosis.

Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of unilateral biportal endoscopy(UBE)in the treatment of extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation(ELLDH).Methods From June 2019 to June 2022,25 patients with ELLDH were treated with UBE-guided discectomy,including 16 males and 9 females.The age ranged from 26 to 62 years with a mean of(53.67±17.45)years.History ranged from 3 d to 10 years.There were 9 cases of internal foraminal type(type Ⅰ),13 cases of external foraminal type(type Ⅱ)and 3 case of mixed type(type Ⅲ).There were 8 cases of L4/5 space and 17 cases of L5/S1 space.All the patients underwent anterior and lateral lumbar X-rays,CT and MRI scans before surgery.The visual analogue scale(VAS)pain score and Oswestry disability index(ODI)assessed lower limb and lower back pain and functional recovery before surgery and at 3 d and 3 months after surgery,respectively.Macnab criteria evaluated the immediate surgical outcome.Results The UBE technique was used to treat ELLDH.The operative time was(79.79±23.97)min,the intraoperative bleeding volume was 40~80 mL,with an average of(55.80±10.74)mL.Follow-up time was(7.02±4.26)months.Preoperative VAS of lower limb was(7.04±0.92),lower back VAS was(3.49±1.52),ODI was(35.03±2.97)%.Compared with the preoperative results,the lower limb VAS was(2.17±0.61),lower back VAS was(1.48±0.43),and ODI was(18.77±3.15)%on day 3 after surgery,lower limb VAS was(1.38±0.65),lower back VAS was(1.03±0.48)and ODI was(6.05±1.80)%on the 3 months after surgery were improved(P<0.05).The excellent and good rate was 96.0%(excellent 20,good 4,fair 1),and no obvious complications were observed during the follow-up.Conclusion UBE is effective,with little trauma,clear intraoperative visual field,good intraoperative experience,and less traumatic and safe in the treatment of ELLDH.
