Objective To compare the incidences of biliary complication after adult living donor liver transplantation (ALDLT) using Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (R-Y HJ) with duct-to-duct hepaticocholedochostomy (D-D HC).Methods A meta-analysis was conducted by searching the Medline-PubMed,EMBASE,Scielo-LILACS,and Cochrane Databases.A comparison using 95% confidence intervals was performed on different biliary reconstruction techniques in liver transplantation with regard to occurrence of biliary complications.Results According to our predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria,seven clinical studies were selected to compare D-D HC with R-Y HJ.The overall biliary comphcation rates,biliary stricture rates and biliary leakage rates were compared.The overall biliary complication rate and the biliary stricture rate of R-Y HJ were significantly less than D-D HC,but the biliary leakage rate of R-Y HJ was similar with the D-D HC (overall biliary complication rate P < 0.05,OR =0.35,95% CI:0.15 ~ 0.81,I2 =28% ; biliary stricture rate P < 0.05,OR =0.43,95% CI:0.29 ~ 0.65,I2 =49% ; biliary leakage rate P=0.05,OR=1.62,95% CI:1.01 ~2.60,I2 =19%).Conclusions The meta-analysis showed that biliary reconstruction in ALDLT should be performed using R-Y HJ.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sirolimus (SRL) in immunosuppression following liver transplantation. Methods SRL was applied in 21 patients totally.Indication for adoption was Tac-related nephrotoxicity (4/21), suspiciously Tac-related hepatoxicity (8/21), Tac overdose (3/21), renal insufficiency pre-operation (2/21), or cancer (4/21). Median follow-up was 25. 4 months. Results SRL provided an adequate prophylaxis against rejection in all study patients, with one case of acute rejection. Sirolimus was Withdrawn in 2 cases due to its sideeffect. Tat-induced hepatoxicity in 6 cases and nephrotoxicity in 3 cases were relieved significantly.Conclusions SRL given alone appears to be an effective primary immunosuppressant regimen fororthotopic liver transplantation patients. Early conversion contributes to significant improvement of Tac-related hepatoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

ObjectiveTo analyze clinical manifestations and treatment of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) in children.MethodsThe clinical data of 10 children with EGE under the treatment from June 2014 to June 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 10 children (6 males and 4 females) aged from 9 months to 14 years. Clin-ical symptoms of eight preschool and school age children included abdominal pain (8 cases), vomiting (4 cases), diarrhea (3 cases), ascites (3 cases), rash (3 cases), fever (2 cases) and hypoalbuminemia (2 cases). Clinical symptoms of two in-fant and toddler were diarrhea and hematochezia. Peripheral blood eosinophils were increased in 10 children. IgE was elevated in 9 children. One child had very high C-reactive protein. Endoscopic examination showed mucosal congestion, swelling, erythema, erosion. Multiple sites of biopsy showed eosinophil count> 20/HP. One child was diagnosed by lap-aroscopic exploration. The treatment included diet avoidance, omeprazole, anti-allergic drug. Four children were treated with corticosteroids. All children had been followed up for 6 months to 2 years. One child had relapsed.Conclusion The clinical manifestations of EGE are various. Endoscopic biopsy is necessary for diagnosis. Laparoscopy also is help-ful for diagnosis. Dietary and glucocorticoid therapy were effective.
7. Mechanisms of Ertong Huichun Granules in treatment of respiratory virus infection diseases by network pharmacology and molecular docking
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2020;51(19):5010-5018
Objective: To explore the mechanism of Ertong Huichun Granules in treatment of respiratory virus infection diseases by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods: TCMIP, TCMSP and BATMAN-TCM databases were used to search and summarize the meridian and components of medicinal materials from Ertong Huichun Granules. PubChem and Swiss Target Prediction database were used to query the targets corresponding to the active components, and the respiratory virus infection-related targets were inquired in the GeneCards database. The KEGG pathway and GO biological process enrichment were analyzed by DAVID database, and the relevant network was constructed by Cytoscape software. According to the analysis results of the network diagram, components and targets were selected for molecular docking. Results: The herbs in Ertong Huichun Granules were most attributed to lung, stomach, liver meridian; combining database and literature retrieval. A total of 126 Chinese native medicine ingredients and 55 targets were ensured for constructing network. KEGG pathways mainly included cancer, hepatitis related pathways, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, and HIF-1 signaling pathway, which were mainly involved in inflammatory response, transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway, hypoxia response, and other biological processes. Molecular docking results showed that 7,8-didehydrocimigenol, cimicifugoside, and cimigenol from Cimicifuga foetida had good binding capacity with PTGS2, MAPK, ACE2, and 3CL hydrolase (3CLpro), and maybe have potential anti-respiratory virus effects. Conclusion: Gallic acid, 7,8-didehydrocimigenoll, ccimicifugoside, baicalin, and other ingredients from Ertong Huichun Granules can be through PTGS2, EGFR, MAPK, IL2, ACE2, and 3CLpro targets for reducing inflammatory reaction, interference virus invasion of the host and inhibiting the virus replication to play the role of treating the respiratory virus infection diseases.

Objective To measure serum ghrelin level in elderly Chinese, and investigate the relationship of the serum ghrelin level with age, obesity and other metabolic disorders. Methods A total of 109 men aged over 60 years without history of smoking and alcohol consumption from health examination were enrolled in this study. Subjects were excluded if they had serious diabetic complications, coronary artery disease and hepatic or renal dysfunction. A cross sectional study was made on ghrelin level and the correlated metabolic disorders. Results Compared with ghrelin level in subjects with normal BMI [(823. 57±410.40) ng/L], the ghrelin level was significantly decreased in overweight and obese elderly male, [(442.42 ± 171.10) ng/L and (434.64 ± 177.65) ng/L respectively]. ghrelin was significantly lower in subjects with three or more metabolic disorders (420.84±165.91) ng/L than in those with less disorder. Single factor analysis showed ghrelin was inversely associated with BMI, TG and uric acid (r=-0.359,-0.243,-0.189), but it was not associated with age, blood pressure, fasting glucose and insulin levels. Multivariate analysis revealed only BMI significantly affected the level of ghrelin (β =-0.386). Conclusions BMI is closely associated with ghrelin in elderly male,ghrelin is significantly lower with increased number of metabolic disorders.
