In fact, ABD can be regarded as acute blood loss. Would ABD 2-3 d before operation affect the CVP level and subsequently result in less blood loss during liver resection was to be determined.METHODS： Eighty-four patients undergoing living donor left hepatectomy were retrospectively divided as group Ⅰ （GⅠ） and group Ⅱ （GⅡ） according to have donated 250-300 mL blood 2-3 d before living donor hepatectomy or not. The changes of the intraoperative CVP, surgical blood loss,blood products used and the changes of perioperative hemoglobin （Hb） between groups were analyzed and compared by using Mann-Whitney Utest.RESULTS： The results show that the intraoperative CVP changes between GⅠ （n = 35） and GⅡ （n = 49） up to graft procurement were the same, subsequently the blood loss,but ABD resulted in significantly lower perioperative Hb levels in GI.CONCLUSION： Since none of the patients required any blood products perioperatively, all the predonated bloods were discarded after the patients were discharged from the hospital. It indicates that ABD in current series had no any beneficial effects, in term of cost, lowering the CVP, blood loss and reduce the use of banked blood products, but resulted in significant lower Hb in perioperative period.展开更多

The theoretical analysis indicates that by the action of stripped external force (for examples, the sudden setting of stripped wind, moving stripped wind, etc. ), shear waves can be triggered. This is qualitatively consistent with satellite observations. The amplitude decay process of shear waves by the action of side friction is also discussed in the paper. The theoretical model is quantitatively consistent with satellite observations.展开更多

It was demonstracted that the cytotoxicity of PBL was higher than that of MPEL (P< 0.001), but the cytotoxicity and expansion of MPEL-activated by rIL-2 was much higher than that of PBL activated by rIL-2 (LAK cells) (P< 0.001). This shows that local immune reaction of the pleural cavity of patients with malignant pleural effusion was in the state of suppression. MPEL activated are better effector cells than LAK cells in tumor adoptive immunotherapy.展开更多

The aim of this study was to describe this new technique and the postoperative findings in adolescent knee with focal chondral defect. Methods The MACI consists of diagnostic arthroscopy and cartilage harvest, chondrocyte culture and seeding in tissue-engineering collagenous membrane, and implantation of the scaffold. Clinical outcome at minimum 1-year follow-up was assessed in seven patients （mean age （16.6＋1.5） years; 14-19 years） with full-thickness cartilage defects, with International Knee Documentation Committee （IKDC） score, the International Cartilage Repair Society （ICRS） score and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score （KOOS）. Besides, MR imaging was performed with T1 and T2-weighted imaging and three-dimensional spoiled gradient-recalled （3D-SPGR） MR imaging. Results Clinical evaluation showed significant improvement and MRI analysis showed that the structure was homogeneous and the implant surface was regular and intact in six patients, but irregular in one. Of all the seven patients, the cartilage defect site was nearly totally covered by the implanted scaffold. Conclusions These results indicated that MACI technique is an option for cartilage defect in adolescent knee joint, especially large defect of over 2 cm2. Long-term assessment is necessary to determine the true value of this technique.展开更多
