Objective:To evaluate the effect of parental liver donation on early acute cellular rejection(ACR)after liver transplantation(LT)in children aged under one year.Methods:From January 2018 to January 2021, retrospective review is conducted for clinical data of living donor LT recipients and donors aged under 1 year at Tianjin First Central Hospital.Donor livers are assigned into two groups of paternal donor liver(156 cases)and maternal donor liver(206 cases)according to the source of donor liver, Clinical characteristics and postoperative ACR occurrence of two groups are analyzed.Results:The rates of ACR during early postoperative period is 14.9%(54/362), 20.5%(32/156)in paternal liver donor group and 10.7%(22/206)in maternal liver donor group.There is statistically significant difference(λ 2=6.763, P=0.009).In analysis of gender matching of donor recipients, the rates of ACR is 22.6% in paternal donor group and 10.3% in maternal donor group.There is statistically significant difference(λ 2=5.411, P=0.020).Median time of initial postoperative ACR is 13.00(8.25~20.25)day in paternal liver donor group and 17.00(9.00~28.25)day in maternal donor group.The difference is not statistically significant( P>0.05). ACR is mostly mild-to-moderate in two groups . Conclusions:In living donor LT for children aged under 1 year, the rates of early ACR is lower for maternal donor than that for paternal donor, especially in female recipients.
Objective:To explore the risk factors for the occurrence of thrombocytopenia (TCP) within 2 weeks after pediatric liver transplantation (LT) and examine the relationship between the occurrence of TCP and prognosis.Methods:From January 2021 to November 2021, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 162 pediatric LT recipients aged under 4 years at Organ Transplantation Center of Tianjin First Central Hospital.Based upon the lowest value of platelet count at Week 2 post-operation, they were assigned into two groups of TCP (n=90) and non-TCP (n=72). General preoperative profiles, intraoperative findings, postoperative complications, types of commonly used antibiotics, anticoagulant dosing and prognosis of two groups were compared.Univariate and multivariate analyses were utilized for examining the independent risk factors for TCP.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for examining the cut-off value of independent risk factors for diagnosing TCP.Results:Among them, 90 (55.56%) developed TCP within 2 weeks post-operation and 25(15.43%) developed TCP at Day 1 post-operation.The median preoperative platelet count was 178×10 9/L and the lowest value was 65×10 9/L at Day 3(1-4) post-operation with a declining rate of 63.5% and platelet count of recipient normalized at Day 6(4-7.25) post-operation.The results of univariate analysis showed statistically significant inter-group differences in operative duration[(574.43±80.53)min vs.(526.75±72.42)min], intraoperative blood loss[400(300, 550)ml vs.320(300, 400)ml], red blood cell transfusion[2(2, 3)U vs.2(1.5, 2.0)U], preoperative platelet count[178.5(141.75, 242.5)×10 9/L vs.257 (209.75, 357)×10 9/L], postoperative infection rate[27.8%(25/90)vs.13.9%(10/72)] and dosing rates of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium[8.9%(8/90)vs.25.0%(18/72)] ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed statistically significant inter-group differences in operative duration( P=0.008), red blood cell transfusion( P=0.01), preoperative platelet count( P<0.01) and postoperative infection rate ( P=0.02). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off values of operative duration, red blood cell transfusion and preoperative platelet count were 535 min, 2.75 U and 183.5×10 9/L respectively.Length of ICU stay was higher in TCP group than that in non-TCP group, and the difference was statistically significant [4(3, 5) vs.3(3, 4) day, P=0.006]. Conclusions:LT children aged under 4 years with intraoperative red blood cell transfusion>2.75 U, operative duration>535 min and preoperative platelet count<183.5×10 9/L are more likely to develop post-transplantation TCP.And occurrence of TCP prolongs the length of ICU stay in pediatric recipients.
Objective:To explore the reconstruction strategy and technical selection of S3 hepatic vein with middle hepatic vein confluence in pediatric liver transplantation(LT)using living donor left lateral segment to lower the risk of vascular complications caused by variant grafts.Methods:From January 2015 to June 2021, retrospective analysis is performed for 840 consecutive cases of pediatric living donor LT using left lateral segment(LLS).There are 32 cases of S3 hepatic vein with middle hepatic vein confluence with an overall incidence of 3.81%.Individualized reconstruction strategies are implemented according to the specific conditions of variation and different interposition vessels available: group I unification venoplasty technique with interposition vein graft is employed for reconstructing HV from grafts, prolonged S3 is formed into a single opening with S2 and then anastomosed with recipient(21 cases); group Ⅱ dual HV reconstructions were performed(11 cases); venoplasty of recipients'LHV, MHV and inferior vena cava(IVC)is performed for creating a large orifice for anastomosis with S2 HV from graft and S3 is anastomosed with stump of recipient right HV directly or interposed blood vessels.Clinical features and prognosis of two groups, the incidence, treatment and prognosis of HVOO and the incidence of HVOO between variant and non-variant groups were compared.Results:The median follow-up time of variant group(32 cases)is 23.8 month with an incidence of HVOO at 15.6%.During the same period, the non-variant group incidence of HVOO is 4.5%.There is inter-group statistical difference( P=0.014).The only statistical difference between groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ is ultrasonic blood flow velocity of S3 HV at 14 POD [(39.15±16.37)vs(20.05±8.52)cm/s, P=0.001].HVOO occurred in 7 cases and 6 cases respectively in groupⅠ and group Ⅱ.There is no statistical difference( P=0.310).There are no intractable vascular complications.Long-term vascular patency of allogeneic and autologous interposition vein is satisfactory and there is no graft failure or mortality related to HVOO. Conclusions:Selecting strategies and techniques for reconstructing S3 hepatic vein with middle hepatic vein confluence at our center are reasonable, safe and effective.And the overall treatment efficacy is satisfactory.Reasonable selection of multidimensional reconstruction methods and accurate application of various technologies are conducive to improving patient prognosis.
Objective:To explore the correlation between the percentage of eosinophils in peripheral blood and the occurrence of acute rejection and evaluate the predictive value of the percentage of eosinophils in blood for early rejection in children after liver transplantation (LT).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for children undergoing LT.They were divided into two groups of acute rejection and non-rejection based upon the pathological findings of liver biopsy within 6 months.The mean percentage of early postoperative eosinophil was compared between two groups.With a contour graph, repeated measurement ANOVA was performed for determining the correlation with the occurrence of acute rejection.And receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for determining the critical mean percentage of eosinophil during an early stage of rejection.Results:A total of 396 children undergoing LT were recruited.The postoperative incidence of early acute rejection was 17.93%(71/396). After stratification by age (0~1y/1-6y/>6y), the mean percentage of eosinophil during an early postoperative period was significantly correlated with the occurrence of rejection within 6 months in children aged 0~1 years, but not in children of other ages.The results of repeated measurement indicated that the mean percentage of eosinophil in acute rejection group was significantly higher than that in non-rejection group among children aged 0~1 ( F=25.38, P<0.001). ROC curve of the mean percentage of eosinophil predicting the rejection reaction at 1~7 days showed that its area under curve (AUC) was 0.743 (95% CI: 0.668-0.817) with a sensitivity of 65%, a specificity of 74%, a critical value of 3.23%, a positive predictive value of 31.18% and a negative predictive value of 91.05%. Conclusion:Among pediatric LT recipients, the mean percentage of eosinophil at Day 1-7 has certain predictive value for the occurrence of acute rejection after LT in children aged 0~1 years.With high specificity and negative predictive value, it may be utilized as an indicator of early risk screening.

Objectives: To study the risk factors for massive intraoperative blood loss in children with biliary atresia who underwent liver transplantation for the first time,and to analyze their impacts on graft survival,hospital stay and postoperative complications. Methods: The data of 613 children with biliary atresia who underwent liver transplantation at Department of Pediatric Organ Transplantation,Tianjin First Central Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were collected and analyzed. There were 270 males and 343 females, aged 7.4 (3.9) months (range: 3.2 to 148.4 months), the body weight of the recipients were (7.8±3.5) kg (range: 4.0 to 43.3 kg).According to the 85th quad of estimated blood loss(EBL),they were divided into two groups:massive EBL group(96 cases) and non massive EBL group(517 cases). The age,height,weight and other factors between the two groups were analyzed and compared. Univariate Logistic regression and multiple stepwise regression were used to determine the risk factors of massive EBL. Then,the postoperative complications of the two groups,including portal vein thrombosis and portal vein anastomotic stenosis etc.,were analyzed and compared by chi square test. Kaplan Meier curve and log rank test were used to analyze the recipient and graft survival rate of the two groups. Results: During the study period,713 transplants were performed and 613 patients were enrolled in the study. Ninety-six patients(15.7%) had massive EBL,and the postoperative hospital stay was 21(16) days(range:2 to 116 days),the hospital stay of non-massive EBL group was 22(12)days(range:3 to 138 days)(U=24 224.0,P=0.32). Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the recipient's weight,Kasai portoenterostomy,platelet count,operation time and cold ischemia time were the risk factors of massive EBL during biliary atresia transplantation. Multiple regression analysis showed that cold ischemia time ≥10 hours,prolonged operation time(≥8 hours) and body weight<5.5 kg were important independent risk factors for massive EBL.The incidence of portal vein thrombosis,hepatic vein stenosis,intestinal leakage and pulmonary infection in patients with massive EBL were significantly higher than those without massive EBL(3.1% vs. 0.8%,9.4% vs. 2.1%,6.3% vs. 0.8%,30.2% vs. 20.1%,all P<0.05). The 3-year overall graft and recipient survival rate were significantly lower in patients with massive EBL than those without massive EBL(87.5% vs. 95.7%,P=0.001;84.4% vs. 95.4%,P<0.01,respectively). Conclusions: In children with biliary atresia who underwent liver transplantation for the first time,the effective control of intraoperative bleeding should shorten the operation time and reduce the cold ischemia time as far as possible,on the premise of ensuring the safety of operation. For children without growth disorder,the weight of children should be increased to more than 5.5 kg as far as possible to receive the operation. Reducing intraoperative bleeding is of great significance to the prognosis of children.

Objective:This article discussed the risk factors of portal vein stenosis (PVS) after living liver transplantation (LDLT) so as to provide rationales for clinical prevention and treatment of PVS in children.Methods:The clinical data of 429 pediatric LDLT were retrospectively analyzed and the risk factors of PVS post-LDLT screened by univariate and multivariate analyses.Results:Among them, the overall incidence of PVS post-LDLT was 6.8% (29/429) and the median time of its initial diagnosis3 months (7 days to 14 months). Univariate analysis revealed that recipient's gender ( P=0.039), intraoperative portal vein anastomosis ( P=0.000), portal vein reconstruction with vein graft ( P=0.003) and intraoperative portal vein thrombosis ( P=0.000) were correlated with the occurrence of PVS post-LDLT. Multivariate analysis indicated that recipient's gender ( P=0.019) and intraoperative portal vein thrombosis ( P=0.000) were the risk factors for portal stenosis post-LDLT. Conclusions:Male and intraoperative portal vein thrombosis are risk factors for PVS after pediatric LDLT. For recipients with the above-mentioned risk factors, during postoperative follow-ups, special attention must be paid to the screening of PVS. Thus timely detection and prompt treatment are implemented for lowering the risk of LDLT failure due to PVS.
Objective To explore the use of muhifocal electroretinograms (mERG) in detecting changes in chronic arsenic poisoning. Methods 18 patients who were diagnosed chronic arsenic poisoning underwent mERG testing in both eyes using RETI Scan multifocal ERG (Version 5.2) , 18 ages matched normal peoples were included as controls. In order to observe changes in condition, they were tested in 21,60, 90 days. The first order kernel responses of mERG were recorded and to analyze in six concentric rings centred on the fovea. Results There were no significant differences in the amplitudes and the latencies between the 1 ring regions when compared with the normal control group. There was a significant difference in N1 wave amplitude and a significant difference in the P1 wave amplitude between the two groups at ring 2 - 6 (P0.01). And with the changes condition, the ring appears significant difference compared with normal controls. We also found that mERG changes even earlier than clinical manifestations. Conclusions Chronic arsenic poisoning will appear irreversible damage to the retina in the earlier mobility. The mERG is a useful test for clinical diagnosis and monitoring of disease change.
