Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a breakthrough in the field of hepatobiliary surgery.The remnant liver regeneration was stimulated during the first stage of the operation,and the radical resection of the tumor could be successfully carried out during the second stage of the operation.ALPPS is a new approach for patients with tumor which is previously considered unresectable during one hospital stay.In April 2014,a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right liver and liver cirrhosis was admitted to the Southwest Hospital.Preoperative examination confirmed that the ratio of the remnant liver volume to the standard liver volume was 26.9%,which indicated that the patient was inappropriate to receive radical resection of HCC.Therefore,totally laparoscopic ALPPS was applied.In the first stage of the operation,the portal vein ligation associated with liver hanging tape placement and in situ splitting of liver were carried out after hanging the Glisson's pedicle under the laparoscope.Thirteen days after the first stage of the operation,the ratio of the remnant liver volume to the standard liver volume was 40.6%.The second stage of the operation was carried out 14 days after the first stage of the operation.The right hepatic pedicle and right hepatic vein were transected with a stapler.The tumor was removed after full mobilization of the right liver.The distance between the resection margin to the tumor was 1.5 cm.No complications were detected after the first stage of the operation,while the patient was complicated with pleural effusion after the second stage of the operation and was cured by pleural puncture and drainage.The patient was discharged at postoperative day 9 and followed up at postoperative month 1.The results of follow-up confirmed that the hepatic function was normal,and no mass occupying lesions and pleural effusion were detected.Totally laparoscopic ALPPS is safe and feasible with satisfactory short-term efficacy.

0.05).3.Under light microscope, there was no change of the glomeruli detected in all of the LMWH-treated groups compared with the controls,while congestion and swel-ling in part glomeruli of group RSV were observed significantly. 4.Under electron microscope,glomerular structures of the LMWH-treated groups were almost normal compared with the control, while extensive foot process effacement was observed in group RSV under an electron microscope. 5.RSV RNA signal expressed weaker in the LMWH-treated groups than in group RSV.Conclusions Positive charged RSV destroys the glome-rular filtration barrier through its electrostatic interaction with the negative charged heparan sulfate(HS) of GBM. LMWH, as the analog of HS, charged with anion, competes with GBM HS to combine with RSV to keep the glomeruli from being infected and destroyed, and then reduce the proteinuria.
