Objective To investigate the effect of donor specific immature dendritic cells infusion in combination with CsA on differentiation of liver recipient′s Th1/Th2 cell in rats. Methods Allograft models of orthotopic rat liver transplantation were established, 88 LEW rats (recipient) and SD rats (donor) were randomly divided into three groups: (1) in control group no immunosuppresive drug was used after liver transplantation. (2) in CsA group 1 mg/100 g body weight of CsA was injected intraperitoneally every the other day for 3 times beginning the 2nd day after liver transplantation. (3) in CsA+DC group additional 1? 10 6 immature DC from donor bone marrow was injected through penile vein at the 8th day after operation, in combination with CsA as in CsA group. Rats were sacrificed for immunopathological examination and detection of INF ?mRNA, IL 6 mRNA of celiac lymph node on 5th, 10th, 15th, and 25th day after transplantation. Results The average recipient survival time in the CsA+DC group was (27 0?1 0) days, significantly longer than that in control and CsA group (all P

Objective To study the effect of portal vein blocking on the permeability of the intestinal mucosa in pigs. Methods Healthy Rongchang pigs were divided into 3 groups: ① sham operation group(SO), ② portal vein clamping for 45 min group (PVC-45'), ③ portal vein clamping for 60 min group (PVC-60'). Urine lactulose/mannitol(L/M) ratio was measured after portal vein blocking. Results The L/M ratio was increased significantly (P<0.05) in PVC-45' and 60' groups than in SO group, with that of PVC-60' higher than that of PVC-45' group, but not significantly. Conclusion The increase of intestinal mucosal permeability after portal vein blocking is an early and important index for the damage of the intestinal mucosa barrier.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of histopathologie analysis vs cytomegalovirus (CMV) detection for the diagnosis of CMV-infected hepatitis post liver transplantation. Methods Twenty-five biopsies with CMV infection and twenty-five without CMV infection were collected. Histopathologic observation, immunohistochemical staining and virus detection were performed on both groups to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of these examinations for the diagnosis of CMV-infected hepatitis. Results The detection rate of microabscess, aggregation of monocyte and rnacrophage, and cytomegalic change in CMV infection group was higher than that in the group without CMV infection (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in intranuclear inclusion and eosinophilic body between the two groups (P>0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of IHC and PCR for CMV detection were 20% and 100%, 72% and 84%, respectively. Conclosions CMV detection with PCR combined with histological observation is the most effective diagnostic scheme for CMV disease of liver.

Objective To investigate the survival condition of the liver transplant recipients and determine the factors which influence the long time survival. Methods Retrospective study of the follow-up data of the orthotopic liver transplantation recipients during 1999-2009 was performed.The survival rate of different primary disease was analyzed respectively. The recurrence of the primary disease, mortality and morbidity was also analyzed. Results 331 recipients were follwed up. The follow-up duration ranged from 8-120 months. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rate of patients with benign end-stage liver disease was 86 %, 85 %, 83 %, and 83 %, respectively. There was no difference in the long- term survival rate between the patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis and severe liver failure. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rate of patients with HCC matching Millan criteria was 96 %, 87 %, 87 %, and 87 0%, while those of HCC exceeding Millan criteria were 42 % ,26 % ,24 % ,24 % resepectively. There was significant difference between them at the same period (P<0. 01). The total recurrent rate of HCC recipient was 54. 3 %, and that of HCC matching and exceeding Millan criteria was 4.3 % and 72. 7 0% respectively (P<0. 01 ). Tumor recurrence was the main cause of death of the malignancy. The HBV recurrent rate was 6. 0 0%, and all the cases were controlled by changing the antivirus regimen. The morbidity of billiary complication was 11.8 %, and intrahepatic biliary stricture was the most common type. CNIs-related renal impairment morbidity was 8. 2 % and the damage was reversible in condition of early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion Orthotopic liver transplantation is an effective and safe treatment for end stage liver disease. The LTx recipients can get long time survival with perfect quallity life under proper medical supervision.
