ObjectiveThe total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) offers a palliation for the hemodynamic derangements associated with congenital heart lesions characterized by a single functional ventricle, but it may cause acute hepatic injury because of the special physiology. The objective of this study was to characterize hepatic function and its relationship to cardiac function in children who had undergone the Fontan procedure. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 114 children who had undergone TCPC operation in Shanghai Children's Medical Center between January 2013 and March 2014. There were 65 males and 49 females with a median age of 3.8 years (range 2.5 to 13.2) and a median weight of 14.8 kg (range 12.0 to 33.0). The study cohort was further divided into three groups according to the Child-Pugh classification. The total scores were calculated regarding to ascite, bilirubin, albumin, and international normalized ratio (INR). The scores from 4 to 5 were classified in Child A group, from 6 to 8 classified in Child B group, from 9 to 11 classified in Child C group. Thirty-four patients met criteria for Child Class A, 53 patients for Child Class B, and 27 patients for Child Class C. The univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression model were used to compare demographic, anatomic, and physiological variables among the three groups. ResultsWithin the study population, 80 patients of Child B group and Child C group met criteria for acute hepatic injury. Univariate risk factors for acute hepatic injury included longer total bypass time (P=0.044), longer aortic cross-clamping time (P=0.005), longer ventilation time (P=0.000), higher postoperative mean pulmonary arterial pressure (P=0.000), elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (P=0.001), higher vasoactive inotropic score (P=0.000), lower mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2, P=0.000) and arterial oxygen saturation (P=0.001), higher incidence of arrhythmia (P=0.000), and low cardiac output syndrome (P=0.003), the need of peritoneal dialysis (P=0.000). In the multivariable logistic model, the need for peritoneal dialysis (OR=17.018, 95%CI 5.117-56.602) and the lower postoperative SvO2 (OR=0.922, 95%CI 0.871-0.976) were two independent risk factors for acute hepatic injury after the TCPC. ConclusionThe need for peritoneal dialysis and lower postoperative SvO2 may represent the compound effects of multiple risk factors including preoperative hemodynamic and a marked hepatic vascular inflammatory response to surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass, which in turn may mediate acute hepatic injury.

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TB) were selected as the liver functional parameters,and perioperative changes of the two parameters were measured. Influence of RFA on hepatic function was analyzed and corresponding nursing measures were summarized. Results: Significant changes of ALT and TB were observed early after RFA,and there were statistical difference between preoperation and postoperation (P＜005). Conclusion: Proper nursing measures should be applied to improve hypohepatia and promote recovery of patients.
Objective To explore favorable factors of reducing incidence of postoperative liver failure after radical resection of Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma in condition of hyperbilirubinemia. Methods All the clinical data of one patient with Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent radical resection in June 2017 in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University were collected. The preoperative total bilirubin level of this patient was 470.3 μmol/L, the patient didn’t receive preoperative biliary drainage. The preoperative jaundice time and cholangitis were calculated accurately. A 3D imaging system for quantitative evaluation of the liver was used to reconstruct the images with contrast-enhanced CT images of this patient. And the total liver volume and the future liver remnant volume (FLRV) were calculated. Finally, 6 months of follow-up were conducted after surgery. Results The exact jaundice time was 20 d and there was no preoperative cholangitis. The postoperative FLRV accounted for about 70%. No postoperative liver failure occurred. No recurrence of tumor and death of patient occurred after 6 months of follow-up. Conclusions Radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in condition of hyperbilirubinemia is not an absolute contraindication for surgery, but indications should be strictly controlled. For special patient whose jaundice with short duration, no preoperative cholangitis and a high FLRV may be treated with directly radical surgery to prevent for losting the best time of surgery.
Several unusual manifestations such as white bile draining in common bile duct (14 cases) and casual massive bleeding (2 cases ) during and following hepatobiliary and pancreatic operations is reported. These manifestations were in fact signs of hepatic insufficiency. The manners of manifestations of hepatic insufficiency and their treatment are discussed, with a stress that liver-protective treatment and nutritional support are the fundamental modalities.
We have measured the serum levels of total cholic acid (TCA) in 103 samples of obstructive jaundiced patients (OB group) and 83 samples of gallbladder stone patients without jaundice (control group) by enzymeconjugated colorimetric analysis method. The results revealed that TCA level was higher in OB group than in control group (Plt;0. 001) and had postive correlation with total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase in OB group (Plt;0.01 in all). The clinical value of TCA in obstructive jaundice in comparison with alkaline phosphatase is discussed.
Objective To investigate the changes of indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes (ICGR15) of autologous peripheral blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transplantation in end-stage liver disease (end-stage liver, disease, ESLD) patients with different Child-Pugh grades during before and after transplantation of 3, 6, 12, 36, and 60 months. Methods The CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transplantation were performed in 60 cases of advanced liver cirrhosis with different Child-Pugh grades who were ineffectively treated with strictly conservative treatment and complied with the criterion of liver transplantation. The ICGR15 were performed before transplantation and in 3, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months after transplantation. And the results of each time point in each Child-Pugh classification group were compared, and the rate of change of ICGR15 value were compared between each Child-Pugh classification group. Results The ICGR15 values of the Child-Pugh grading groups all decreased with time. In Child A group, there were respectively significant differences between the 6 months, 12 months, 36 months, and 60 months groups after transplantation and preoperative and 3 months groups after transplantation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between preoperative and 3 months group after transplantation (P>0.05), and there was significant difference between the 12 months and the 60 months group after transplantation (P<0.05). As same as Child A group, there were also significant differences between that time groups in the Child B group (P<0.05), but there were also significant differences between the 3 months group after transplantation and preoperative (P<0.05), and there were respectively significant differences between the 6 months and 12 months, 36 months, and 60 months group after transplantation in the Child B group (P<0.05). Also in the Child C group, there were significant differences between that time groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between preoperative and 3 months group after transplantation (P>0.05), and there were respectively significant differences between the 6 months and 12 months, 36 months, and 60 months group after transplantation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of ICGR15 between Child-Pugh classification groups. Conclusion Autologous peripheral blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transplantation can effectively improve the liver function reserve capacity of ESLD patients and improve the safety of operation for a long time.

Methods A patient with dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted in October, 2010. During the procedure, the use of amiodarone hydrochloride injection made the patient suffer from liver and kidney dysfunction. We retrieved the literatures about liver and kidney toxicity of amiodarone from CNKI, Pubmed, and Embase (from the establishment of the databases to November 2011). We also ssessed the possibility of the adverse drug reaction, discussed the mechanism of amiodarone-induced hepatic insufficiency. Results According to the literature, There was a great possibility of hepatic insufficiency induced by amiodarone, and the total score of the Naranjo probability score was 7. Conclusion It is important to pay more attention to the pharmaceutical care of amidarone to timely recognize and effectively prevent or treat hepatic and renal insufficiency induced by intravenous injection with amiodarone.
ObjectiveTo analyze factors affecting post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore value of combining albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score with standardized future liver remnant (sFLR) in prediction of PHLF.MethodsThe clinical data of patients with HCC underwent curative hepatectomy in the Second and the Fifth Departments of General Surgery of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The risk factors of PHLF were identified through the logistic regression, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to analyze the predictive value of the ALBI score, sFLR, or ALBI score×sFLR.ResultsA total of 72 patients with HCC were enrolled, all of them were the Child-Pugh A grade. The incidence of PHLF was 27.78% (20/72) in these 72 patients with HCC, which was 12.96% (7/54) and 72.22% (13/18) in the 54 patients with ALBI- Ⅰ grade and 18 patients with ALBI- Ⅱ grade respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The results of multivariable analysis of PHLF showed that the PLT (OR=0.030, P=0.018), ALBI grade (OR=11.758, P=0.020), and sFLR (OR=0.835, P=0.003) were identified as the independent predictors of PHLF. The AUC for the ALBI score×sFLR in predicting the PHLF was 0.892, it was greater than that of the ALBI score (AUC=0.799) or the sFLR (AUC=0.773).ConclusionCompared with Child-pugh grade, ALBI grade is more accurate in predicting PHLF of HCC patients, and combining ALBI score with sFLR is better than sFLR or ALBI score alone in predicting PHLF of patients with HCC.
Objective To study the effect of recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) on improvement of liver function and liver regeneration in animal and patients after hepatectomy. Methods The liver cirrhosis model of SD species mouse was set up, then the mouse were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, then 30%-40% liver of all the models were resected, rhGH was used by hypodermic injection (0.2-0.4ml/100g) in experimental group, and the equal dose of N.S. were given in control group every day. Then liver function, arterial blood ketone body ratio(AKBR), and the regenerated liver/body weight ratio (RL/W) were determined, histopathology of the cirrhosis with microscope and electron microscope and the mitotic index (MI) of liver cell on 7, 14 and 28th day after operation were observed. Clinically,39 hepatectomized patients were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, liver function, PA， Glu, RI and AKBR were measured preoperatively and on 1, 7,14th day after operation. Postoperative clinical course were also compared between the two groups. Results In the animal experiment group, as compared with the control group, AKBR was obviously higher (P＜0.01), seruim level of total protein and PA were increased faster (P＜0.05), and RL/W was higher. The mitotic index of liver cell was increased faster on 14th day, the numbers of regenerated liver cell with double nucleus and rough endoplasmic reticulum were higher in 14 and 28th day. In the clinical experiment group, as compared with the control group, serum total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were lower on 7 and 14th postoperative day (P＜0.05). Serum albumin, PA, Glu, RI and AKBR were higher on 7, 14th postoperative day (P＜0.05). Conclusion Both experimental and clinical study show that the rhGH can promote liver regeneration and improve liver function after hepatectomy.
ObjectivesTo explore the association between liver dysfunction and premature birth (PTB).MethodsA prospective cohort of HBV-infected or uninfected pregnant women of Han nationality attending antenatal care at Nantong Maternal and Child Health Hospital was recruited from January 1st, 2012 to June 30th, 2016. Liver function tests (LFTs) were monitored through pregnancy. Robust Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted risk ratios (RRs) on HBV infection and LFT abnormalities.ResultsAmong 35 452 pregnant women (1 073 HBV carriers and 34 379 non-HBV women), 4 266 (12.03%) had at least one instance of abnormal LFT results. One fold upper limit of normal aspartate aminotransferase (AST), two folds upper limit of normal total bilirubin, and four folds upper limit of normal total bile acid rather than HBsAg positivity, were identified as independent risk factors for PTB by Robust Possion regression analysis.ConclusionsAbnormal LFTs among pregnant women is an independent risk factor of PTB. We suggest monitoring the LFTs results of high-risk population throughout pregnancy.
