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 assess the effects of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) on the quality of life (QoL) of the patients with end stage liver disease. Methods QoL of OLT recipients was assessed by the GLQI index of the digestive system disease. A total of 43 recipients with benign end stage liver disease without operational complications, who were clearly conscious and had no difficulty in comprehending the investigation table because of their relative good education above the middle school, had been investigated during May 2000 to December 2002. The detecting data were divided into three parts including before OLT, at discharge, and 3 months after discharge. Results At the stage of discharge, QoL of OLT recipients was improved as compared with that before OLT. The physical function, psychological status, symptom of the recipients had been significantly improved than as compared with those before OLT ( P 0.05). And at the stage of 3 months after discharge, QoL of the recipients was improved significantly than that in the hospital ( 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.
