ABSTRACT
Liver transplantation makes it possible to cure portal hypertension thoroughly.A new pattern of combined application of multiple treatments based on liver transplantation has emerged.Conventional surgical treatments such as splenectomy,devascularization and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting have important effects on the prognosis of liver transplant recipients.Portal vein stenosis,thrombosis as well as small-for-size liver graft lead to post-transplant portal hypertension and liver dysfunction.The author in this article provides an overview of the effects of various conventional treatments on the prognosis of recipients and the treatment of portal hypertension after liver transplantation,aiming to seek for optimal strategy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the prevalence and characteristics of overweight and obesity among Chinese children aged 0-5 years,in 2010-2013.Methods Data was from the ‘China Nutrition and Health Surveillance-0-5-Years-Old Children and Lactating Women’ project in 2013.Stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used to select 55 districts/counties from 30 provinces (autonomous regions,municipalities) with the sample size of children as 32 862.Definition of overweight and obesity were according to both the WHO 2006 growth standard in children less than 5-year-old and the WHO 2007 growth reference in children of 5-years-old.Results were calculated by complex weight based on national census from the National Bureau of Statistics in 2010.Results The overall prevalence of overweight was 8.4％ among the 0-5-year-old in 2013,with 9.4％ in boys and 7.2％ in girls.Both of the rates from urban and rural areas were the same,as 8.4％.The prevalence rates of overweight in the 0-,6-,12-,24-,36-,48-and 60-71 months age groups appeared as 13.0％,11.1％,8.3％,6.0％,4.8％,3.9％ and 15.9％,respectively.The rates of overweight in low,medium and high income families were 8.0％,8.8％ and 8.9％,respectively.The prevalence of obesity was 3.1％ among the 0-5-year-old,with 3.6％ in boys and 2.5％ in girls.There was no significant difference seen in urban (3.3％) and rural areas (2.9％).The prevalence rates for obesity in the 0-,6-,12-,24-,36-,48-and 60-71 months age groups were 5.8％,3.8％,2.5％,1.6％,1.2％,1.3％ and 7.8％,respectively.The rates of obesity in low,medium and high income families were 2.8％,3.3％ and 3.5％,respectively.Conclusion The prevalence rates of both overweight and obesity were increasing among the 0-5-year-olds in China,suggesting that it is necessary to timely conduct the surveillance and intervention programs on overweight and obesity in this target population.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the average systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) among adults aged 18 years old and above in China between 2010 and 2012; and to compare the difference in the results measured by mercury sphygmomanometer and converted electronic sphygmomanometer.@*Methods@#The data was collected from Chinese Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2010-2012. 120 428 adults aged 18 years old and above were selected from 150 survey counties (districts) of 31 provinces in China Mainland, by multi-stage stratified and probability proportion to size (PPS) cluster randomization sampling method. The average blood pressure value was calculated from three systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings measured by mercury sphygmomanometer. The value of Electronic Sphygmomanometer was converted by regression formula. Age-standardized results were calculated incorporating a complex sample weighting using the population data from the National Bureau of Statistics in 2009.@*Results@#The overall adjusted mean of SBP based on the value of mercury sphygmomanometer among Chinese adults aged 18 years old and above was 122 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 124 mmHg in men and 120 mmHg in women. The average SBP value was separately 115, 127, and 137 mmHg in groups of adults aging 18-44, 45-59 and ≥60 years old. The average SBP was 122 mmHg in urban and 122 mmHg in rural areas. Mean DBP was 78 mmHg, 79 mmHg in men and 76 mmHg in women. The average DBP was separately 75, 81, and 81 mmHg in groups of adults aging 18-44, 45-59 and ≥60 years old. The average DBP was 78 mmHg in urban and 77 mmHg in rural areas. The overall adjusted mean of SBP based on converted electronic device was 129 mmHg,130 mmHg in men and 127 mmHg in women, respectively. The mean of SBP was separately122, 134, and 143 mmHg in groups of adults aging 18-44, 45-59 and ≥60 years old. Mean SBP was both 129 mmHg in urban and in rural areas. Mean DBP was 76 mmHg, 78 mmHg in men and 75 mmHg in women, respectively. The average DBP was separately 74, 79, and 79 mmHg in groups of adults aging 18-44, 45-59 and ≥60 years old. The average DBP was both 76 mmHg in urban and rural areas.@*Conclusion@#The average SBP and DBP was different between the mercury sphygmomanometer and converted electronic device. However, the results from both measures showed that the blood pressure was higher in men than in women, the blood pressure increased with the increase of age, and there was no difference between urban and rural areas.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the related risk factors of hair loss in obese patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinical data of 54 obese patients who underwent LSG in the East Hospital of Tongji University between November 2013 and June 2015 were collected.All the patients received LSG,and postoperative hair loss of patients was observed.Factors affecting postoperative severe hair loss were analyzed,including gender,age,preoperative body mass index (BMI),postoperative excess weight loss (EWL),total bilirubin (TBil),albumin (Alb),hemoglobin (Hb),iron,zinc,copper,folic acid,vitamin B12 and vitamin D.Observation indicators:(1) follow-up and postoperative hair loss situations:cases with follow-up,follow-up time,cases with hair loss,severity of hair loss,time of hair loss,treatment of hair loss;(2) univariate analysis affecting severity of hair loss after LSG;(3) multivariate analysis affecting severity of hair loss after LSG.Follow-up using outpatient examination and Wechat was performed to detect the changes of BMI and hair loss up to September 2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s and comparison between groups was done by the t test.Comparison of count data was analyzed by the chi-square test.Multivariate analysis was done using the Logistic regression model.Results (1) Follow-up and postoperative hair loss situations:all the 54 patients were followed up for 15 months.Forty-two patients had hair loss,including 21 with slight hair loss,10 with moderate hair loss and 11 with severe hair loss.A proportion of hair loss was 6/11 in male and 36/43 in female.The onset time and end time of hair loss were (3.4± 1.4) months and (9.0± 3.6) months,respectively.Of 42 patients,15 took oral medication (6 with ferrous sulfate,5 with decavitamin and 4 with zinc gluconate oral solution) against hair loss,with no obvious improvement.During the follow-up,42 patients stopped hair loss and gradually grow new hair.(2) Univariate analysis affecting severity of hair loss after LSG:gender,postoperative EWL and folic acid were factors affecting severity of hair loss after LSG (x2 =5.161,t =-5.114,4.266,P＜0.05).(3) Multivariate analysis of affecting severity of hair loss after LSG:postoperative EWL and folic acid were independent factors affecting severity of hair loss after LSG (OR=1.039,0.499,95％ confidence interval:1.011-1.068,0.300-0.802,P＜0.05).A prediction accuracy of severity of hair loss after LSG was 85.2％.Conclusion Postoperative EWL and folic acid are independent factors affecting severity of hair loss after LSG.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of Hangzhou Criteria in selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)for living donor liver transplantation(LDLT)and their effects on recipient's post-transplant survival.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 43 patients with HCC who underwent LDLT in our center.All of the recipients were classified into subgroups according to Milan Criteria,Up-to-Seven Criteria and Hangzhou Criteria,and post-transplant total survival rate and tumor-free survival rate were compared among the criteria.Results The number of patients within Hangzhou Criteria was 61.5 %(8/13)more than that within Milan Criteria and 23.5 %(4/17)more than that within Up-to-Seven Criteria.The 1-,and 3-years total survival rate and tumor-free survival rate of the recipients within Milan Criteria(n=13)were 100 %,80.0 % and 84.6 %,84.6 %,those of the recipients within Up-to-Seven Criteria(n=17)were 100 %,75.2 % and 87.5 %,81.2 %,and those of the recipients within Hangzhou Criteria(n=21)were 100 %,80.0 % and 89.5 %,84.2 %,respectively.There was no significant difference among the three criteria in total survival rate and tumor-free survival rate(P>0.05).Conclusion Hangzhou Criteria further enrolled more liver transplantation candidates without decline of total survival rate and tumor-free survival.It is a more effective selection of HCC recipients for LDLT.
