ABSTRACT
Along with the increasing quantity of patients with end-stage liver diseases year by year, as an efficacious treatment, the safety and efficacy of liver transplantation are critical issues to be considered. In addition, liver transplant techniques have become a new research hot spot. In recent years, liver transplant techniques are constantly innovating and developing with the unremitting efforts of researchers. Researchers have successively developed multiple liver transplant techniques, such as split liver transplantation, ischemia-free liver transplantation, liver xenotransplantation, domino liver transplantation, delayed total hepatectomy combined with liver resection and segment Ⅱ-Ⅲ liver transplantation, heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation on splenic fossa and magnetic anastomosis. It has laid a foundation for expanding the donor pool, improving clinical efficacy of liver transplantation and enhancing the quality of life of liver transplant recipients. In this article, the exploration, development, innovation and improvement of liver transplant techniques were reviewed and prospected, aiming to provide reference for clinical application of liver transplantation.
ABSTRACT
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand activated nuclear transcription factors and one of the members of the non steroidal nuclear receptor superfamily.It can be divided into PPAR alpha,PPAR beta / delta and PPAR gamma three subtypes according to the different of its structure and function.Previous studies showed that PPARs participated in biochemical reactions and the regulation of other important biological activities such as lipogenesis,glucose metabolism,inflammation,insulin sensitivity and so on.Recent researches showed that PPARs also had effect of anti-fibrosis,protecting ischemia-reperfusion injury and inhibiting the growth and differentiation of tumor cells.This article reviewed the recent research progress of PPARs in these liver diseases.
ABSTRACT
Bilioenterostomy with a wide variety of techniques is a common surgical operation in digestive surgery.Each of these surgeries has its own advantages and disadvantages.At present,Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy seems to be the dominant surgery,while other operations are used in some particular circumstances.Furthermore,some modified surgeries for bilioenterostomy have been conducted with the deepening understanding of the complications.Additionally,different kinds of new facilities and techniques have been applied to bilioenterostomy.Despite the controversy on specific issues,reasonable choice of bilioenterostomy should follow thc principles of specific purpose,correct choice and reliable effect.In other words,whether or not using bilioenterostomy should be considered correctly from the whole system,and then surgical methods should be accurately chose for patients,and finally avoiding the technical errors and guaranteeing the surgical effects.
