The small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) is widely recognized as one of the most serious clinical complications. It substantially contributes to a poor prognosis after adult living donor liver transplantation. Currently, there is still no consensus on the exact definition and pathogenesis of SFSS. We reviewed the progress on research of pathogenesis of SFSS and put forward some relevant preventive and treatment measures, including donor selection, graft assessment, reduction of high portal vein perfusion, dual grafts technology, advanced molecular medicine and other innovative approaches. Also, we offered some relevant insights into the future research directions of SFSS.

BACKGROUND:Traditional studies on foot and ankle biomechanics have limitation. Ankle joint was complicated and had big range of motion, so it is difficult to establish finite element models and to analyze the type of fracture.
OBJECTIVE: To construct the finite element models of distal tibial fractures and analyze the stability.
METHODS: CT data of ankle were colected from a normal male volunteer and the three-dimensional reconstruction of volunteer was made by Mimics software, and the effectiveness was verified. The ratio of different joint involvement and height of fracture block were assumed with Solidwork software, and finite element models of distal tibial fractures were established. Fracture stability was analyzed by ANSYS software using finite element method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The distal tibia fracture model was consistent with the relevant literature data, and finite element analysis could be further conducted. The ratio of articular surface involved was positively associated with fragment height and fracture displacement, and negatively associated with fracture stability. These results indicate that the three-dimensional finite element models of distal tibial fractures were successfuly established. Fracture stability was associated with the ratio of articular surface involved and fragment height.

Objective To analyze the correlation of carotid artery stenosis(CAS)with postoperative cognitive dysfunc?tion(POCD)in patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG). Methods Between March 2014 and October 2014, a total of 157 patients who underwent OPCABG in our hospital were enrolled and divided into POCD group and non-POCD group according to their performance respondent to MMSE questionnaire survey conducted 5 days before operation. LOTCA questionnaire survey was conducted at the first day and 7th days pre-and post-operation re?spectively in order to investigate the influence of CAS on POCD in patients. Results The incidence of POCD was 30.6%(48 out of 157). Advanced age, diabetes,cultural level,carotid artery stenosis, Hb level after operation, score of LOTCA question?naire survey conducted before surgery,time of respirator and the time spend in ICU were significant predictive factors for POCD. However, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, CAS and the time spend in ICU were independent risk factors for POCD, especially CAS(OR=5.078,95%CI:2.211-11.662, P<0.001). Patients with severe CAS suffer from a significant decline in cognitive function on space, time, action and ideation. Conclusion CAS is a predominant risk factor for POCD in patients undergoing OPCABG.

Objective To explore the surgical treatments through anterior and posterior approaches for anterior and posterior compression of cervical spinal cord. Methods The clinical data of 25 cases of anterior and posterior compression of cervical spinal cord from June 1999 to November 2003 were summarized retrospectively. There were 18 males and seven females with age range of 28-56 years (average 36.4 years). Of all,18 cases were with tricolumnae fractures of cervical spine caused by traffic injury,five with cervical herniation and two with malignant macrophage tumor in vertebral body and annex and vertebral lamina. Results All 25 cases underwent internal fixation decompression with I-stage combination operation of anterior and posterior approaches. Of 18 cases with tricolumnae fractures,one died and 17 recovered in various degrees. In five cases with cervical herniation,the positive sign disappeared basically. Two cases of malignant giant-cell tumor appeared metastatic carcinoma in the lungs 10 months after operation. Conclusions The I-stage combination operation of anterior and posterior approaches is an ideal way for the patients suffering from anteropsterospinal compression in cervical spinal cord. It can not only decompress completely the cervical spinal cord,stabilize the wounded cervical vertebra,but also facilitate nursing and function training and be beneficial to the recovery of spinal cord function.
