ABSTRACT

Hepatitis E virus infection is a common cause of acute viral hepatitis. In recent years, the incidence of hepatitis E has shown an increasing trend, which has gradually become an important cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. Age, sex, intensity of immunosuppression and socio-economic factors are all risk factors for hepatitis E virus infection. Liver transplant recipients require long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs for anti rejection treatment, prone to hepatitis E virus infection and at the risk of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis due to immunosuppression status. Therefore, special attention should be paid to liver transplant recipients in clinical practice. Meantime, related risk factors should be identified to assist diagnosis and take stricter preventive measures. According to literature review, the etiological characteristics of hepatitis E virus and the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis E virus infection in liver transplant recipients were reviewed, aiming to properly monitor, treat and prevent hepatitis E virus infection in liver transplant recipients in clinical practice, improving the prognosis of liver transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT

Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of portal hypertension, which could be applied in the evaluation of liver cirrhosis. Combined use of HVPG with model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scoring system may more accurately match the donors and recipients undergoing liver transplantation for liver cirrhosis, select the appropriate timing of surgery, and provide guidance for bridging treatment for patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation. Besides, HVPG may also predict clinical prognosis of liver transplant recipients, and provide evidence for early detection and intervention of potential complications. Therefore, the value of HVPG in preoperative evaluation and prognosis prediction of liver transplant recipients was reviewed, aiming to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment of liver transplant recipients before and after surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection in liver transplant recipients.Methods:Clinical data of 130 liver transplant recipients with COVID-19 infection followed in Hebei Medical University Third Hospital from November 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively collected, including 103 males and 27 females, aged (53.6±11.4) years. The severity of COVID-19 infection, its clinical symptoms, and negative conversion time for each recipient were analyzed and compared.Results:For the disease severity, 121 (93.1%) were mild, 5 (3.8%) were moderate, 3 (2.3%) were severe, and 1 (0.8%) was critically severe. The most common symptoms in the 126 patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection were successively fever, fatigue, cough and myalgia, with a negative conversion time of (10.1±4.5) (3.0-29.0)d. In those who underwent transplantation less than 12 months ( n=28), those who were taking mycophenolate mofetil ( n=53) and those who were taking methylprednisolone ( n=10), the negative conversion time was (11.6±5.1) d, (11.4±5.4) d, and (13.4±6.4) d, respectively, longer compared to those who underwent transplantation more than 12 months (9.7±4.2 d, n=98), and who were not taking mycophenolate mofetil (9.2±3.4 d, n=73) or methylprednisolone (9.8±4.2 d, n=116, all P<0.05). The negative conversion times were longer in recipients with symptoms (eg. fatigue and cough) than those in asymptomatic recipients (11.0±5.1 d vs. 9.0±3.3 d, t=2.64, P=0.009, and 11.4±5.2 d vs. 9.0±3.4 d, t=2.92, P=0.004). Conclusion:The COVID-19 infection in liver transplant recipients was mainly mild and moderate. The most common symptoms are fever, fatigue, cough and myalgia. The short time (less than 12 months) after liver transplantation, oral mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone, with symptoms (fatigue and cough) could be associated with a prolonged negative conversion time.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the prognostic values of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)and NLR-PLR score for carcinoma(HCC)patients undergoing liver transplantation(LT).Methods:From July 2015 to October 2021, clinical data are retrospectively reviewed for 110 HCC patients undergoing orthotopic LT at Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University.The values of NLR and PLR were calculated.And the cut-off values of NLR and PLR were obtained by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and then grouped according to the cut-off values.Survival time is analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test performed for inter-group comparison.Univariate and multivariate analyses are performed based on Cox proportional risk regression model.NLR <3.37 and PLR <105.96 are denoted as 0 point while NLR ≥3.37 and PLR ≥105.96 as 1 point.Two points are added up as NLR-PLR score.According to NLR-PLR score, they are divided into 3 groups of 0, 1 and 2.Results:Median overall survival(OS)is 27 months in patients with NLR-PLR score 0, 26.5 months in patients with NLR-PLR score 1 and 6 months in patients with NLR-PLR score 2.Median OS in patients with NLR-PLR score 2 is significantly shorter than that in those with NLR-PLR score 0/1.And the difference is statistically significant( P<0.001).Median disease-free survival(DFS)is 24.5 months in NLR-PLR 0 group, 24 months in NLR-PLR 1 group and 6 months in NLR-PLR 2 group.The difference is statistically significant( P=0.002).Univariate analysis show that Child-Pugh grade, MELD score, NLR/PLR level, NLR-PLR score, complying with University of California San Francisco Criteria(UCSF)criteria and absence/presence of microvascular invasion(MVI)have an impact on patient survival.Further multivariate analysis show that NLR-PLR score, complying with UCSF criteria and MELD score are independent risk factors affecting patients' prognosis and survival. Conclusions:NLR, PLR and NLR-PLR score may predict long-term survival of patients.And NLR-PLR score is an independent risk factor for patient survival.It has more predictive value than NLR/PLR.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC) and its relationship with the prognosis of patients with PDAC.Methods:From January 2001 to December 2012, 109 paraffin embedded PDAC tissue samples and 27 normal pancreatic tissue samples were collected from the Department of Pathology, Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The expression of HER2 protein in pancreatic tissue was detected by immunohistochemical Envision two-step method. HER2 expression was evaluated according to Hercept test, and its relationship with clinicopathological features and survival time was analyzed.Results:The expression of HER2 protein was negative (-) in 29.4% of PDAC tissues, weakly positive (+ ) in 35.8%, positive (+ + ) in 25.7% and strongly positive (+ + + ) in 9.2%, respectively, and the overexpression rate (+ + , + + + ) was 34.9%; the negative (-) and weakly positive (+ ) expression of HER2 protein in normal pancreatic tissues accounted for 88.9% and 11.1% respectively. There was no expression with positive (+ + ) or strongly positive (+ + + ), therefore, the overexpression rate was 0. The overexpression rate of HER2 protein in PDAC and normal pancreatic tissues was significantly different ( P=0.000). The expression of HER2 protein was significantly correlated with age, and the expression of HER2 protein in patients with PDAC over 65 years old was significantly higher than that in patients with PDAC under 65 years old ( P=0.043), but not with gender, tumor location, tumor grade, T stage, N stage and nerve invasion (all P>0.05). Univariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that HER2 expression was associated with postoperative survival time of patients with PDAC ( P=0.032). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that HER2 expression was an independent prognostic factor for survival of patients with PDAC ( P=0.040). The median survival period of patients with HER2 expression + + + was significantly longer than that of patients with HER2 expression -~+ + (128.4 months vs 21.5 months), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.038). Conclusions:The overexpression of HER2 in PDAC tissue was related to the age of patients. The survival time of patients with HER2 strongly positive PDAC was significantly longer. HER2 can be considered as an index to evaluate the biological behavior and prognosis of PDAC.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To compare two Taq-man Real-time PCR methods for detection of hepatitis B virus covalently closed circular DNA (HBV cccDNA) in serum or liver tissue.@*Methods@#Two sets of primers and probes (common Taq-Man probe and MGB Taq-Man probe) were synthesized according to the reference papers, and the sensitivity and specificity of the two methods were compared using prepared plasmid as standard curve, and HBV DNA samples were exlracted from serum and liver tissue samples of hepatitis B patients. The samples were tested with both methods separately before or after the digestion with a Plasmid-Safe ATP-dependent Dnase (PSAD).@*Results@#Both of these two kinds of detection methods had a good linear relationship with the prepared plasmid as standard curve (R2 0.989 or 0.976 respectively, CV were within 4% ), and obtained good specificity when the HBV DNA samples were tested before or after digestion with PSAD. The common Taq-Man probe had lower Ct value than MGB probe when the samples in the same concentration.@*Conclusions@#Both methods can be used for HBV cccDNA detection. The common Taq-Man probe has slightly higher sensitivity than MGB probe, while the MGB probe has lower background than the common Taq-Man probe in our test. One can select the appropriate probe according to the need.

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the protective effect of creatine phosphate (CP)on isolated rat liver against cold preservation.Methods Isolated perfused rat liver model under simple cold preservation was established.The liver of the control group was perfused with pure University of Wisconsin (UW)solution. With UW solution as the base fluid,the liver of the low-dose group was perfused with 1 g/100 ml CP in UW solution;the liver of the middle-dose group was perfused with 2 g/100 ml CP in UW solution;the liver of the high-dose group was perfused with 3 g/100 ml CP in UW solution.The livers of each group were cold preserved in the corresponding perfusion fluid at 4 ℃.The content of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)in preservation solution in infrahepatic vena cava were determined.The content of malondialdehyde (MDA)and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO)in liver tissues were detected.The apoptosis index (AI)of liver cells in liver tissues and positive expression rate of NF-κB in liver tissues were observed. Pathologic changes of liver tissues were observed under optical microscope.Results At 12 h after the cold preservation,the content of ALT and LDH in the rat livers of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were lower than those of the control group (all in P <0.05).At 18 h after the cold preservation,the content of MDA and MPO in the liver tissues of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were lower than those of the control group (all in P <0.05).At 12 h and 18 h after the cold preservation,AI and positive expression rate of NF-κB in liver cells in the rat livers of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were lower than those of the control group (all in P<0.05).At 24 h after the cold preservation,the content of ALT and MDA in preservation solution of the high-dose group was obviously higher than that of the control group as well as the low-and middle-dose groups (all in P <0.05).The results of pathological examination indicated that the injuries to the livers of the high-,middle-and low-dose groups were obviously lighter than that of the control group.There was no obvious difference among each dose group.Conclusions CP in UW solution may well protect the isolated rat liver against cold preservation,which is better than pure UW solution.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between level of Th17/CD4+T cell ratio in peripheral blood and postoperative complications in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-one patients with HBV-related cirrhosis who received OLT were enrolled in this study. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to measure the proportion of Th17 cells to CD4+T cells at the following time points:pre-OLT, and post-OLT days 7, 14 and 21. The relevant hepatic biochemistry indexes, serum concentration of FK506 and level of procalcitonin (PCT) were detected for all patients after OLT.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The transplant recipients were divided into four groups according to the postoperative complication, which included acute rejection (AR, n=12), postoperative infection (POI, n=10), transient intrahepatic cholestasis (TIHC, n=12) and no complications (n=17). The Th17/CD4+T cell frequencies were notably higher in the AR patients after OLT (vs. before OLT, P less than 0.01) and this increase was positively correlated with rejection activity index (RAI; r=0.759, P=0.004). Up to post-OLT day 14, the frequencies of Th1 7/CD4+T cells in the POI group were similar to those of the AR group but they decreased to near-baseline level at post-OLT day 21.Furthermore, the percentage of Th17/CD4+T cells in the POI group was positively correlated with PCT (r=0.768, P=0.010). The frequencies of Th17/CD4+T cells in the TIHC and no complications groups showed a slowly decreasing trend after OLT and became markedly lower than the before OLT levels (P<0.01). The concentration of FK506 in the AR group was significantly lower than that in the other groups at post-OLT day 14 (P=0.000).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Th17/CD4+T cell level in peripheral blood might be a useful marker for risk assessment and monitoring of OLT postoperative complications, such as acute rejection and postoperative infection, in the early stage, and might help to improve patient prognosis by allowing for timely application of anti-rejection and antibacterial agents.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the liver cooling effect of infusing cold fluid through the bile duct in liver injury models. Methods: A total of 14 BA-MA mini-pigs were randomized into two groups: control group (n=7) and hypothermia group (n = 7). All the animals underwent tracheal intubation under general anaesthesia and liver injury was created after opening the abdomen. The liver bleeding was allowed for 15 min, and then initial treatment was given by packing the liver injury and infusing fluid for 1 hour before suturing the wound. Then the cold fluid (4'C lactated Ringer's solution) was infused through the bile duct in the hypothermia group, with no further treatment given to the control group. The body and local liver temperature and hemodynamic variations were recorded. Blood samples were collected from the front vena cava to perform liver function tests. The liver specimens of animals were subjected to histopathological evaluation at the end of the experiment. Results: The primary bleeding volume, heart rate and mean artery pressure at different time points were not significantly different between the two groups. After 2 hours intervention, the liver temperature dropped by(1. 36 ±0. 80) C in the control group and by (2. 72±1. 01)'C in the hypothermia group, with significant difference found between the two groups(P=0. 020); at the same time point, thebody temperaturedropped by (0. 89 ± 0. 76) C and (0. 97 ± 0. 97) C, respectively; showing no significant ditference between the two groups (P = 0. 87). Liver function examination showed that at the end of infusion aspartate transaminase (AST) in the hypothermia group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). The inflammatory cell infiltration of liver tissues in the hypothermia group was slighter than that in the control group. Conclusion: Infusion with cold 4C lactated Ringer's solution has a protective effect on liver trauma by inducing liver hypothermia to promote the recovery of liver function and alleviate liver inflammation reaction.

ABSTRACT

In this article, an acetone-enhanced negative photoionization (AENP) source based on a 10. 6 eV vacuum ultraviolet ( VUV) lamp was developed and coupled to a home-made time-of-flight mass spectrometer for rapid detection of trace explosives. In the AENP source, acetone molecules absorbed 10. 6 eV photons and were ionized by single photon ionization to emit photoelectrons. The photoelectrons reacted with O2 , CO2 , etc. in the atmosphere to produce mainly CO-3 negative reactant ions. With this ionization source, common explosives, N-nitrobiz ( 2-hyolorolroxy ethyl )-amine dinitrate ( DINA ) , Tetryl, trinitrotoluene ( TNT ) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), could be detected sensitively, and the limit of detection of 2 pg ( TNT) with a linear range of 3 orders of magnitude was achieved. The simple structure, high sensitivity characteristics make the AENP source as a promising ionization source for mass spectrometry.
