Objective To determine the perioperative risks of partial hepatectomy by determining the preoperative liver functional reserve in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and to compare the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score with the Child-Pugh classification in predicting prognosis.Methods We reviewed the clinical data of 202 patients with HCC who underwent partial hepatectomy.The MELD score and the Child-Pugh classification were determined preoperatively.Results The incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction happened in 44.0％ of Child A patients,50％ in Child B patients,41.6％in patients with a MELD score below 14,and 91.7％ in patients with a MELD score of ＞ 14.The difference between the rates of postoperative liver dysfunction in patients with a preoperative MELD score above 14 and below 14 was significant (P ＜ 0.05),while that between patients with Child-Pugh A and B was insignificant (P ＞ 0.05).The incidences of postoperative liver dysfunction in patient with a MELD ＜ 8,8 ≤ MELD ≤ 14,MELD ＞ 14 were 38.2％,57.6％ and 91.7％,respectively,indicating that there was a positive co-relationship between the MELD score and the incidences of liver dysfunction.The Spearman rank correlation test showed the MELD score was significant correlated with the Child-Pugh score (r =0.404 ; P ＜ 0.05).The areas under the ROC curves of the MELD score and the Child-Pugh score were 0.703 and 0.587 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The MELD score predicted postoperative liver dysfunction more accurately than the Child-Pugh classification.HCC patients undergoing partial hepatectomy with a preoperative MELD score ＞ 14 had a high perioperative risk.To ensure the safety of partial hepatectomy,HCC patients with a preoperative MELD score ＞ 14 requires active preoperative preparation,bringing the score near to or less than 14.

BACKGROUND: Extract of astragalus mongholicus has good effects on antioxidization and oxygen free radical scavenge. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have multiple directional differentiation potential and superiority of autologous transplantation. This can provide a new way for treating neurodegenerative diseases.OBJECTIVE: To explore the differentiation of BMSCs of rats following astragalus mongholicus induction.DESIGN: A cytological in vitro study.MATERIALS: One clean male rats aged 6 weeks were purchased from Experimental Animal Center of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Astragalus mongholicus injection (lot number 060105) were obtained from Dali Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.METHODS: Rat BMSCs were in vitro isolated, cultured and purified by the whole bone marrow method. At the fourth passage, BMSCs at a density of 4×10<'8>/L were incubated in 12-well plate with a coverslip. After 80% 90% cells were confluent, the medium was changed. BMSCs were then incubated in DMEM, supplemented with 200 g/L astragalus mongholicus injection and 15% fetal bovine serum, for 6 days. BMSCs in the control group were not treated with astragalus mongholicus injection.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological changes in BMSCs were observed under the inverted microscope before and after induct.ion. Expression of specific markers was determined by immunocytochemical staining following induction.RESULTS: Primary cultured BMSCs were round. At the fourth passage, BMSCs were spindle. BMSCs after induction showed processes, which became more with prolonged time. Some processes were branch-shaped, forming a network structure. Results of immunocytochemical staining demonstrated that many cells were positive for nestin, neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein on day 3, and abundant cells were positive for microtubule-associated protein-2 on day 6.CONCLUSION: Astragalus mongholicus induces differentiation of BMSCs into neural stem cells, and then promotes the differentiation into neurons or glial cells, and makes differentiated cells mature and aging.
