Some reports indicated extrahepatic clearance of the drug and that the lungs are the likely place where the process occurs. This study was undertaken to compare the plasma concentrations of propofol both in the pulmonary and radial arteries after constant infusion during the dissection, anhepatic and reperfusion phases of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) without veno-venous bypass, attempting to investigate extrahepatic clearance and to determine whether the human lungs take part in the elimination of propofol. METHODS: Fifteen patients undergoing OLT without veno-venous bypass were enrolled in the study, and propofol was infused via a forearm vein at a rate of 2 mg· kg-1·h-1. Blood samples were simultaneously collected from pulmonary and radial arteries at the end of the first hepatic portal dissection (T0), at the clamping of the portal vein (T1), 30, and 60 minutes after the beginning of the anhepatic phase (T2, T3), and 30, 60, and 120 minutes after the unclamping of the new liver (T4, T5, T6). Plasma propofol concentrations were measured using a reversed- phase, high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection. RESULTS: The concentrations of plasma propofol in the pulmonary and radial arteries at T2 and T3 rose significantly compared with T0 and T1 (P<0.01) respectively. After reperfusion, the drug concentrations at T4, T5 and T6 decreased significantly compared with T2, T3 (P<0.01)respectively. There were no significant differences in plasma propofol concentrations between the pulmonary and radial arteries at any time points. CONCLUSIONS: Propofol is eliminated mainly by the liver, and also by extrahepatic organs. The lungs seem to be not a major site contributing to the extrahepatic metabolism of propofol in humans.展开更多

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical re- cords of 120 patients receiving liver transplantation from April 1993 to October 2002. The patients' cli- nical characteristics, surgical techniques, complica- tions and survival were compared in the phases of 1993-1997 (phase Ⅰ), 1999 (phase Ⅱ), and 2000- 2002 (phase Ⅲ). Results: Malignant liver diseases were major indica- tions for liver transplantation in phase Ⅰ(100%) and Ⅱ(53. 3%), but decreased markedly in percentage in phase Ⅲ(34. 0%). When compared with recipi- ents in phase Ⅰ and Ⅱ, the survival of recipients with benign liver diseases in phase Ⅲ was significantly im- proved with the 3-month, 6-month and 1-year sur- vival rates of 85. 7%, 84. 5% and 83. 1%, respec- tively. For patients with malignant liver diseases, the 3-month, 6-month and 1-year survival rates were 87. 4%, 81. 1% and 46. 0%, respectively. The rein- fection rate of hepatitis B virus was 24% 12 months after transplantation. With technical refinements, the incidence of postransplantation vascular compli- cations has significantly decreased from 29. 4% in phase Ⅰ and Ⅱ to 4. 9% in phase Ⅲ. Biliary compli- cations remained one of the major obstacles to long- term survival. No reno-venous bypass was applied in phase Ⅲ, providing a promising outcome. Conclusion: Strict selection of potential recipients, technical refinement, appropriate management of vascular and biliary complications, and prophylaxis of recurrences of hepatitis B and malignant liver dis- eases are important to obtain long-term survival of patients receiving liver transplantation in China.展开更多
