Living related liver transplantation (LRLT) may not be the only treatment for recurrent bleeding due to severe gastric varices secondary left-side portal hypertension and splenic vein thrombosis. Splenectomy is preferred long-term standard non-orthotopic patients, but additional treatments such as post-transplantation partial arterial embolization preserve immunological function of spleen thus prevent occurrence post LRLT infection are suggested these patients.
A recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is one the major concerns reflecting higher mortality HCC. This study aimed to explore impact circulating exosomes on HCC development and recurrence. One-shot transfusion hepatoma serum naïve rats induced cancer with gradual elevation alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), but exosome-free failed induce AFP elevation. The microarray analysis revealed miR-92b as highly expressing microribonucleic acids in...
The gut microbiota plays a role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but data about dysbiosis Asians with NAFLD remains scarce. We analyzed the differences fecal between adults and without NAFLD. This cross-sectional study examined histology-proven (25 (NAFL) patients, 25 steatohepatitis (NASH) living donors (healthy controls)). taxonomic composition of was determined by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing stool samples. NAFL NASH groups showed lower total bacterial diversity richness...
The traditional technologies for industrial and agricultural effluent treatment are often energy-intensive. Herein, we suggest an electrochemical redox strategy spontaneous simultaneous decontamination of wastewater generation both fuels electricity at low cost. Using hydrazine nitrate effluents as a demonstration, propose hydrazine-nitrate flow battery (HNFB) that can efficiently purify the meanwhile generate ammonia fuel with assistance our developed bimetallic RuCo precatalyst....
Electrically conductive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively studied for their potential uses in energy-related technologies and sensors. However, achieving that goal requires MOFs to be highly stable maintain conductivity under practical operating conditions with varying solution environments temperatures. Herein, we designed synthesized a new series of {[Ln4(μ4-O)(μ3-OH)3(INA)3(GA)3](CF3SO3)(H2O)6}n (denoted as Ln4-MOFs, Ln = Gd, Tm, Lu, INA isonicotinic acid, GA glycolic...
Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) affects outcomes in liver transplantation (LT). Existing risk models developed for deceased-donor LT depend on posttransplant factors and fall short living-donor (LDLT), where pretransplant evaluations are crucial preventing EAD justifying the donor's risks. This retrospective study analyzed data from 2944 adult patients who underwent LDLT at 17 centers between 2016 2020. We a logistic regression model to predict based this development cohort. used 1020 King...
The incidence of biliary atresia (BA) varies among different countries. It is supposed to be higher in Asian countries than Western countries; however, the BA Taiwan has not been well investigated. aim this study was analyze epidemiological characteristics and Taiwan.National Health Insurance (NHI) implemented 1995, covers most population (>99%). We use NHI database investigate features compare Taiwan's annual with that other countries.We identified 327 new cases during period from 1996...
Living-donor liver transplant (LDLT) offers advantages over deceased-donor (DDLT) of improved intention-to-treat outcomes and management the shortage allografts. However, conflicting data still exist on LDLT in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).To investigate potential survival benefit an HCC from time waiting list inscription.This multicenter cohort study design analyzed aged 18 years or older who had diagnosis were a for first transplant. Patients 12 collaborative centers...
To describe our approach in the decision-making for taking middle hepatic vein with graft or leaving it remnant liver right lobe live donor transplantation.Right living transplantation has been successfully performed. However, extent of hepatectomy is still a subject debate and main considerations decision making are functional adequacy safety.An algorithm based on donor-recipient body weight ratio, lobe-to-recipient standard volume estimate, venous anatomy was used to decide hepatectomy....
Abstract This study was aimed to validate the 5th and 6th editions of tumor‐node‐metastasis (TNM) system for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), attempted improve prognostic stratification by modifying edition according vascular invasion tumor size. From 1986 2002, a total 5,613 HCC cases from Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in southern Taiwan were enrolled. The modified dividing stage I into stages IA (single tumor, ≤2cm) IB >2cm), II IIA (multiple tumors, none >5cm)...
Complications in a donor are distressing but inevitable occurrence, since graft procurement is major undertaking. Although the technique for has some similarities to hepatic resection, very unlike patient with malignancy. The risk factors identified these patients cannot be extrapolated donors. Donor hepatectomy carried out from June 1995 March 2005 Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical Center was reviewed aim of identifying complications. There were 204 living liver transplants,...
Background. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) demonstrates certain survival benefits over deceased for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but there is no consensus on criteria the use of LDLT HCC taking into account strategies to improve survival. Methods. Thirty-five patients (89% men) underwent HCC. The mean age was 51 years (range, 22–61). median disease severity scores were B, 11–20, and 2B Child-Turcotte-Pugh, Model End-stage Liver Disease, United Network Organ Sharing,...
