Objective To observe the protective effect of different doses of left carnitine on cardiomyocyte function in children with viral myocarditis.Methods94 cases of children with viral myocarditis were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table, 47 cases in each group.Both groups were treated with fructose 1,6-diphosphate(100~250mg/kg, add 150mL of 10% glucose in intravenous infusion, 1times/d) combined with left carnitine.Large dose group of left carnitine 100 mg/kg, low dose group 50mg/kg, all added 150mL of 5% glucose intravenous infusion, 1 times/d.The total effective rate, creatine kinase(CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiac ejection fraction(EF), ventricular short axis shortening (FS) And the total incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.ResultsThe total effective rates of two group were 93.62% and 87.23%.The level of CK,CK-MB,LDH in two groups were significantly decreased after treatment of two weeks(P<0.05), EF, FS were increased after treatment of two weeks(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in CK, CK-MB, LDH, EF and FS between the high dose group and the low dose group after treatment of two weeks.The overall incidence of adverse reactions in the high dose group was 25.53%, which was lower than that in the low dose group (8.51%,P<0.05).ConclusionThe use of low-dose left carnitine in children with viral myocarditis can effectively remove free radicals, protect cardiomyocyte function and improve myocardial energy metabolism and cardiac function, and safer than high-dose groups.

Objective To investigate the role of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in the treatment of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation. Methods MDT consultation was conducted to clarify the causes and therapeutic strategies for one case of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation admitted to Liver Transplantation Center of the First Hospital of Jilin University on June 23, 2020. And the role of MDT in the treatment of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation was summarized. Results The patient presented with abnormal liver function after liver transplantation. The diagnosis of biliary stricture, rejection and biliary tract infection was confirmed successively. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) stent internal and external double drainage, glucocorticoid shock and anti-infection therapy yielded low clinical efficacy. After MDT consultation, complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation was confirmed. It was suggested to optimize the immunosuppressive regimen based on the exclusion of rejections by pathological examination, deliver targeted anti-infection interventions and prevent the potential risk of concomitant drug-induced liver injury. The patient was discharged after proper recovery. Conclusions The causes of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation are diverse, and the condition changes dynamically. MDT consultation are performed to deepen the understanding of this disease, strengthen the classification of diagnosis and treatment ideas and enhance the precision and efficacy of corresponding treatment.

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a common complication after liver transplantation, which could prolong the length of postoperative intensive care unit stay, affect clinical efficacy of liver transplantation and even lead to the death of recipients. ALI/ARDS has attracted extensive attention from liver transplant surgeons in clinical practice. ALI/ARDS after liver transplantation may be directly caused by pulmonary factors (such as mechanical ventilation-related lung injury, lung infection and aspiration,
