Abstract:
Objective
Study on the influences of injurys by ischemia and reperfusion to retrograde perfusion in orthotopic liver transplantations.
Methods
Thirty five standard orthotopic liver transplantation patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group.Retrograde perfusion via caval veins were performed in experimental group(17 cases)and normal reperfusions via portal veins were performed in control group(18 cases).The re-warm ischemia time,ALT,GGT,TB and PT in patients'serum were tested in the two groups respectively at one hour,1 day,2,3,5 and 7 days after operation.Concentrations of TNF-αand IL-1 in the caval veins were also tested two hours after the grafts transplanted into the patients.The ratio of hydropic degeneration and necrotic hepatocytes were detected under the light microscope and the morphologic changes of hepatocytes were detected under light and electro microscope respectively.
Results
The re-warm ischemia time of experimental group was remarkably shorter than that of control group(P<0.05).For serum TB,the experimental group was remarkably lower than the control group 1 hour,1 and 2 days after operation(P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between the two groups 3,5 and 7 days after operation.For serum ALT,the experimental group was remarkably lower than the control group 1 and 2 days after operation(P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between the two groups 1 hour,3,5 and 7 days after operation.For serum GGT,the experimental group was remarkably lower than the control group 1hour,1and 3 days after operation(P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between the two groups 2,5 and 7 days after operation.For PT,there were no significent differences between the two groups after operation.Concentrations of TNF-αand IL-1 in the caval veins of experimental group were remarkably lower than those of control group two hours after the grafts transplanted into the patients(P<0.05).The injury by ischemia and reperfusion,ratio of hydropic degeneration and hepatocyte necrosis for experimental group were remakably lighter than control group(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The injurys caused by ischemia and reperfusion might be reduced and the graft functions might be improved by using method of retrograde perfusion in orthotopic liver transplantations.
