Objective To explore the technology of excision,and finishing on donative pancreas during combined pancreas-kidney transplantation.Methods We successfully harvested multiple abdominal organs together on 40 cases.Wide surgical exposure was obtained.Cannulas were placed for in situ cooling in portal vein and abdominal aorta,and flushed with HC-A (2000 ml) and UW (1000 ml) with the pressure being 10 cm H2O.The intestine was flushed with 0～4 ( normal saline (1000 ml) and metronidazole (200 ml),the liver,kidney,pancreas,spleen and duodenum were en bloc excised and isolated,and the pancreas and kidney were pruned.Results Excision of donative abdominal organ was successfully performed on all 40 cases.The en bloc warm ischemic time was 3.2 min (2～5 min).The cold ischemic time of pancreas was 10.6 h (8～15 h).The cold ischemic time of kidney was 8.5 h (4～16 h).Post-operation mean withdrawal-insulin time was 9.5 days (4～17 d),FFG 6.7 μmol/L (4.4～10.7 μmol/L),GHbA1c 4.4 ％ (4.1 ％～4.7 ％).Creatine was 87.2 (56～121) μmol/L one month after operation.There were 2 cases of DGF after operation,and the creatine level was returned to the normal within one month after operation.Conclusion Technology of excision,preservation and finishing on donative pancreas for combined pancreas-kidney transplantation was one of the key points for successful transplantation.

Objective To study the effects ofautologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs)transplantation during coronary artery bypass gafting (CABG) on myocardial infarct size. Methods Forty myocardial infarction patients diagnosed by coronary angiography (CAG) and SPECT and confirmed at surgery were enrolled and randomly assigned CABG alone (group Ⅰ) or CABG with intramyocardial or intracoronary injection of autologous BMMCs (group Ⅱ), 20 cases in each group. Baseline and followed up evaluations included SPECT and NYHA-FC before and after 6 months operation, recorded the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at the same time. The number of autologous BMMCs injected was (6.84 ± 2.88) ×107 in group Ⅱ. Results There was no procedure-related complication during 6 months followed up in all patients. After 6 months operation,left ventricular ejection fraction in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅰ [(57.40 ±5.21)% vs. (50.75 ±5.88)%,t =3.79,P＜0.05],NYHA-FC in group Ⅱ was significantly improved than that in group Ⅰ [(1.30 ± 0.47) grades vs. (1.85 ± 0.59) grades, t = 3.27, P ＜0.05],SPECT showed myocardial infarct size in group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅰ[(14.57 ±5.20)% vs. (20.45 ±5.18)% ,P ＜0.05]. Conclusion Autologous BMMCs transplantation during CABG is safe and feasible, which can reduce the myocardial infarct size in patients with myocardial infarction.

Objective:To explore the biological activities of interferon-? on the fibroblasts from rat palatal scar.Methods:Fibroblasts were cultured from rat palatal scar.The cells of pasage 4-6 were suspended into culture medium at (2.5)?105 cells/ml.Then the cells were cultured as fibroblasts-populated collagen latice(FPCL) with the final cell density of 5?104/ml.The cultures were exposed to IFN-?(U/ml) at 0,40, 400 and 4 000 for 24 h respectively.The cell proliferation was studied by MTT assay and FPCL contraction was studied by diameter measuring.Results:The absorbance of the cells treated with IFN-?(U/ml) at 0,40,400 and 4 000 was 0.247?0.014,0.235?0.014,0.190?(0.024) and 0.184?0.021 respectively,the contraction idex(%) of FPCL treated with above concentrations of IFN-? was 88.53,64.47,46.00 and 23.63 respectively.Conclusion:IFN-? may inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and the contraction of FPCL.

Objective To explore the technique of allocation and rebuilt of vessels of donor pancreas during pancreas-kidney transplantation.Methods Multiple abdominal organs were successfully retrieved from 40 donors.Results Excision of donor abdominal organs was successful in all the 40 cases.The average warm ischemic time was no 3.2 min,ranging from 2 min to 5 min.No injury occurred in any of the donor organs or vessels.After transplantation,2 patients lost the transplant,one because of abdominal infection,and the other because of venous thrombosis.Conclusion A good trim or rebuilt of donor pancreas vessels is one of the key points for successful combined pancreas-kidney transplantation.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAPA) after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 4 patients who had HAPA after liver transplantation at the No.309 Hospital of PLA from April 2002 to April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 4 patients had abdominal massive hemorrhage,and 2 of them were complicated by bile leakage and bile duct bleeding.Peritoneal effusion was observed in the 4 patients,and 3 of them were complicated by peritoneal infection.All the patients were diagnosed and treated by angiography and exploratory laparotomy.Results The mean time of hemorrhage of ruptured HAPA was 24.6 days (range,14-35 days).One of the patients was diagnosed by exploratory laparotomy,and the other 3 patients were diagnosed by angiography.Hemostasis of HAPA was successed in 1 patient by hepatic artery ligation,2 patients by interventional embolization + endovascular covered coronary stent grafts implantation guided by digital subtraction angiography (DSA),1 patient by interventional embolization.1 patients died of hepatic failure and 1 died of multiple organ disfunction syndrome.Conclusions Early diagnosis of HAPA after liver transplantation is difficult and the mortality is high.Interventional embolization + endovascular covered coronary stent grafts implantation guided by DSA is the first choice for the diagnosis and treatment of HAPA.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have reported the cause and treatment of biliary complication. However, how to improve operative technique for preventing the complication is rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of operational skil s during liver transplantation on biliary complications.
METHODS:Biliary complications in 475 patients who underwent liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between operational skil s and biliary complications after liver transplantation was observed. The potential risk factors about operative technique were summarized. Some preventive interventions for biliary complications were suggested.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biliary complication was diagnosed in 36 (7.6%) of 475 patients who underwent liver transplantation. They were nonanastomotic biliary stricture (n=19, 4.0%), anastomotic biliary stricture (n=7, 1.5%), biliary leakage (n=3, 0.6%), twisted common biliary duct (n=3, 0.6%), residual common duct stone (n=1, 0.2%), and neoformative common duct stone (n=3, 0.6%). There was no difference in the incidence of nonanastomotic biliary stricture among the three biliary anastomotic styles. The possibility of anastomotic biliary stricture in placing T-drainage tube group was lower than the other two groups according to clinical data. Nevertheless, there was no statistical difference between these three groups. Infusing UW into the liver from cranial mesenteric vein and douching the biliary duct immediately while taking the donor could decrease the incidence of biliary complication after liver transplantation (P=0.013 and P=0.018, OR=0.26 and OR=0.28), the later factor could also decrease the incidence of nonanastomotic biliary stricture (P=0.001, OR=0.09). Meanwhile, some operational skil s also decrease the incidence of biliary complications, such as protecting the artery around the biliary duct, and elevating the liver when suturing the common biliary duct.

Objective To study the effects of treating herpes zoster with the combination of Chinese and western medicine.Methods 160 cases of herpes zoster were randomly recruited into a treatment group(n=80),and a control group (n=80).The control group was treated with westem medicine(acyclovir,ethacridine solvents,and vitamin B6 and B12).The treatment group was administrated with Chinese medicines,acupuncture and cupping on the basis of treats in the control group Results The total effective rate was 100%in the treatment group and 72.5%in the control group.There was significant difference between the two groups(χ~2=23.85,P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of Chinese and western medicine is effective in treating herpes zoster and worthy of generalization.

Objective To investigate the expression of IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA in allograft and peripheral blood of mice receiving skin transplantation under different immune states. Methods Mice skin allograft models were established and divided into 3 groups: synergeneic transplant group (BALB/c→BALB/c), allogeneic transplant group (C57BL/6→BALB/c), donor spleen cells infusion group (C57BL/6→BALB/c). Peripheral blood plasma concentration of IL-23 was measured by ELISA. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of IL-23 mRNA in the skin allograft. Results There was no significant difference in the IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA expression among all three groups one day after skin transplantation (P＞0. 05). On the day 3, 5, and 7 after skin transplantation, there was significant difference in the IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA expression levels between synergeneic transplant group, donor spleen cells infusion group and allogeneic transplant group (P ＜ 0. 01 ), but there was no significant difference between synergeneic transplant group and donor spleen cells infusion group (P＞0. 05). Conclusion The high expression levels of IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA were detected when early acute rejection took place in recipient mice. IL-23 could serve as a predictable and prognostic marker for the acute rejection. Infusion of donor spleen cells can significantly prolong the allograft survival.
