巨大右半肝肿瘤切除术时的出血控制

巨大右半肝肿瘤切除过程中的出血量是决定手术能否成功的关键因素,控制手术过程中出血的技术也是右半肝切除术中的最重要的技术,有效控制术中出血的方法贯穿于整个手术过程中：良好的术前评估,术中于第一肝门处选择性阻断支配右半肝的入肝血流,于第二肝门处切断肝右静脉,于第三肝门处切断肝短静脉,在无血条件下用超声吸引刀切除预定的右半肝以及肝断面的处理等。此方法能有效控制手术过程中出血,保证左半肝血液供应,减轻肝脏缺血/再灌注损伤,减少术后肝功能不全的发生,保证了胃肠道血流的通畅,避免了黏膜屏障受损,全身血流动力学平稳,对其他脏器功能影响小,缩短了手术时间,极大地提高了手术的安全性。

Modulation of Double‐Stranded RNA‐Activated Protein Kinase in Insulin Sensitive Tissues of Obese Humans

Objective: The double‐stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase (PKR) was recently implicated in regulating molecular integration of nutrient‐ and pathogen‐sensing pathways in obese mice. However, its modulation in human tissues in situations of insulin resistance has not been investigated. The present study was performed to first determine the tissue expression and phosphorylation levels of PKR in the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue in obese humans, and also the modulation of this protein in the adipose tissue of obese patients after bariatric surgery. Design and Methods: Eleven obese subjects who were scheduled to undergo Roux‐en‐Y Gastric Bypass Procedure participated in this study. Nine apparently healthy lean subjects as a control group were also included. Results: Our data show that PKR is activated in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue of obese humans and, after bariatric surgery, there is a clear reduction in PKR activation accompanied by a decrease in protein kinase‐like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase, inhibitor of kappa β kinase, and insulin receptor substrate‐1 serine 312 phosphorylation in subcutaneous adipose tissue from these patients. Conclusion: Thus, it is proposed that PKR is an important mediator of obesity‐induced insulin resistance and a potential target for the therapy.     

经脐单孔腹腔镜辅助整形术治疗急性胆囊炎的临床效果

目的:探讨单孔腹腔镜辅助整形术(TUES)对急性胆囊炎患者腹壁美观及其肝功能的影响。方法:选取我院急性胆囊炎择期手术患者130例,随机分为观察组和对照组。观察组采用经脐单孔腹腔镜胆囊切除术联合整形术,对照组采用三孔腹腔镜胆囊切除术。观察并比较两组手术时间、术后疼痛评分、切口满意度及肝功能指标的变化情况。结果:与对照组比较,观察组患者手术时间长,术后疼痛评分低,患者对切口美观满意度高,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。两组住院日无显著差异(P0.05)。两组患者术前ALT、AST和ALP水平无显著差异(P0.05)。两组患者术后ALT、AST和ALP水平均高于术前,组内比较差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。观察组患者术后ALT、AST和ALP水平低于对照组,组间比较差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:单孔腹腔镜辅助整形术能够改善急性胆囊炎患者病情,提高腹壁美观效果,而且对肝功能影响较小,值得临床推广。     

Hepatic 31P‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy identified the impact of melatonin‐pretreated mitochondria in acute liver ischaemia‐reperfusion injury

Acute liver ischaemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI), commonly encountered during liver resection and transplantation surgery, is strongly associated with unfavourable clinical outcome. However, a prompt and accurate diagnosis and the treatment of this entity remain formidable challenges. This study tested the hypothesis that ³¹P‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy (³¹P‐MRS) findings could provide reliable living images to accurately identify the degree of acute liver IRI and melatonin‐pretreated mitochondria was an innovative treatment for protecting the liver from IRI in rat. Adult male SD rats were categorized into group 1 (sham‐operated control), group 2 (IRI only) and group 3 (IRI + melatonin [ie mitochondrial donor rat received intraperitoneal administration of melatonin] pretreated mitochondria [10 mg/per rat by portal vein]). By the end of study period at 72 hours, ³¹P‐MRS showed that, as compared with group 1, the hepatic levels of ATP and NADH were significantly lower in group 2 than in groups 1 and 3, and significantly lower in group 3 than in group 1. The liver protein expressions of mitochondrial‐electron‐transport‐chain complexes and mitochondrial integrity exhibited an identical pattern to ³¹P‐MRS finding. The protein expressions of oxidative stress, inflammatory, cellular stress signalling and mitochondrial‐damaged biomarkers displayed an opposite finding of ³¹P‐MRS, whereas the protein expressions of antioxidants were significantly progressively increased from groups 1 to 3. Microscopic findings showed that the fibrotic area/liver injury score and inflammatory and DNA‐damaged biomarkers exhibited an identical pattern of cellular stress signalling. Melatonin‐pretreated mitochondria effectively protected liver against IRI and ³¹P‐MRS was a reliable tool for measuring the mitochondrial/ATP consumption in living animals.     

Evaluation of serum uric acid changes in different forms of hepatic vascular inflow occlusion in human liver surgeries

Uric acid values in serum have been analyzed as one of the markers to predict cellular damage due to ischemia reperfusion injury in the field of organ transplantation. The present study was conducted to confirm that uric acid values in serum could be an efficient marker of ischemic injury of liver parenchyma following hepatic vascular occlusion in human liver surgery. The changes in serum uric acid values were analyzed at fixed intervals during different liver surgeries. Significant increases in serum uric acid values were observed in patients who received the Pringle's maneuver in which hepatic vascular inflow was manipulated with a repetition of 15 min occlusion and 5 min perfusion, whereas almost no changes in uric acid values were found in both groups of patients who received the hemilobal occlusion of the Glisson's triad in which the right or left vessels were manipulated with a repetition of 30 min occlusion and 5 min perfusion and the "control method" in which the hepatic vessels of the lesion side were previously cut before liver resection. Uric acid values in serum increased in patients of Pringle's maneuver compared to those of the hemilobal occlusion of the Glisson's triad and the control method though these procedures were used in larger hepatectomies rather than Pringle's maneuver. The results indicated that serum uric acid values do not always reflect the severity of ischemia of the liver parenchyma but reflect intestinal congestion because marked intestinal congestion was observed in patients of Pringle's maneuver but not in patients of the hemilobal occlusion of the Glisson's triad and the control method. The evaluation of the severity of the ischemic injury of the liver should be done with caution when uric acid is used as a marker in human liver surgery.     

腹腔镜解剖性肝切除治疗肝细胞癌的临床观察

目的:探讨腹腔镜解剖性肝切除治疗肝细胞癌的临床效果及安全性。方法:选择2011年2月~2013年8月在我院进行诊治的肝细胞癌患者90例,将其随机分为治疗组与对照组,每组各45例。治疗组采用腹腔镜解剖性肝切除治疗,对照组采用开腹解剖性肝切除,两组术后都常规化疗3个月,观察和比较两组术中出血量、术后肛门排气时间和术后住院时间,并发症的发生情况及术前后血清谷氨酸转移酶(ALT)与天冬氨酸转移酶(AST)的水平。结果:与对照组相比,治疗组的术中出血量、术后肛门排气时间和术后住院时间均明显降低或缩短(P0.05),术后3个月的膈下积液、切口感染、肺部感染、胆漏的发生率明显降低(P0.05)。两组术前血清ALT与AST值对比差异无统计学意义(P0.05);术后1周,两组的ALT与AST值都明显升上(P0.05);术后3个月,治疗组的ALT与AST值明显低于对照组(P0.05)。所有患者随访到2015年8月,治疗组的中位生存期为(18.33±3.11)个月,而对照组为(12.46±2.19)个月,较治疗组明显缩短(P0.05)。结论:腹腔镜解剖性肝切除治疗肝细胞癌具有更好的微创性,能减少近期并发症的发生,促进肝功能的恢复,且能够延长患者的生存时间。     

Activities of cardiac and hepatic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex are decreased after surgical stress

The work investigated the effects of surgical stress on the activities of cardiac and hepatic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (active form, PDHa) in fed rats. PDHa activities in heart and liver were decreased within 4h of surgery with maximum inhibition at 24h after surgery. PDHa activities remained low until the fourth (liver) and eighth (heart) post-operative days. The decreased activities found at 4h and 24h after surgery were associated with increased plasma fatty acid concentrations, and inhibition of lipolysis resulted in reactivation of the enzyme complex. The results are discussed with reference to the control of pyruvate dehydrogenase activities by the oxidation of fat fuels and multisite phosphorylation in stress states, and its possible importance in glucose conservation after surgery and trauma.

Liver response of the Antarctic fish (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Notothenia coriiceps</Emphasis> Richardson, 1844) to hepatotrophic factors

The Notothenia coriiceps liver is commonly infected with parasites, reducing the hepatic mass and inducing the regeneration. In order to better understand the effect of nutrient influx on hepatic regeneration at 0°C, a usual mammal hepatotrophic factor (HF) solution was injected into ten fish (HF group), while ten fish were injected with saline solution (control), twice a day, for 15 days. The liver and carcass weight were measured, and samples were obtained for histological studies. The HF group presented a higher liver/carcass weight (62.5%) than control group. This increase in liver mass was due mainly to hepatocytes hypertrophy, including nuclear size increase and cytoplasmic inclusions of glycogen. Hyperplasia is also observed, although to a lesser extent. The hepatic reaction to HF in Antarctic fish was here demonstrated for the first time, helping to understand the liver response to seasonal nutrient.     

Effects of surgical stress on the response of hepatic carnitine metabolism to 48 h starvation in the rat

Rats subjected to laparotomy and handling of the liver were starved for 48 h, starting either immediately after surgery or 48 h later. Surgery enhanced the rise in plasma non-esterified fatty acid concentrations after starvation without affecting the responses of blood or liver ketone bodies. Thus in surgically stressed rats, blood and liver ketone body concentrations were inappropriately low for the blood fatty acid concentrations. In the control rats, starvation increased hepatic carnitine concentrations, mainly through increases in short-chain acylcarnitine. Surgical stress decreased or abolished these increases. This may possibly contribute to the blunted ketonaemic response observed after surgery.     

Roux‐en‐Y Gastric Bypass Improves Liver Histology in Patients with Non‐Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Objectives: Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of liver disease in the United States and is prevalent in morbidly obese patients. While weight loss and treatment of risk factors are recommended, the reported effects of bariatric surgery on NAFLD are mixed. Research Methods and Procedures: We examined liver histology at the time of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery and at elective incisional hernia repair after weight loss for 16 patients at one center. Slides were read by one pathologist, blinded to clinical data, using the Brunt criteria. Clinical and laboratory data were extracted from chart review. Alcohol use was ascertained by two interviews. Results: At baseline, the mean age was 44 years, 50% were women, 88% were white, and the mean BMI was 51 kg/m². None had significant alcohol use. On initial biopsy, all patients showed steatosis, 94% had inflammation, 88% had ballooning degeneration, 88% had perisinusoidal fibrosis, and 81% had portal fibrosis. The mean time between the two biopsies was 305 ± 131 (SD) days. The mean weight loss was 118 ± 29 lb. Steatosis improved in 15 of 16 patients, with resolution in 13. Twelve of 15 patients with inflammation at baseline showed improvement, and 12 of 14 showed less ballooning. Six of 14 patients with perisinusoidal fibrosis and 6 of 13 with portal fibrosis showed improvement. No patient had worsening of steatosis, inflammation, ballooning, or fibrosis. Discussion: Our study shows improvement in all of the histological features of NAFLD after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery—induced weight loss, despite significant histopathology at baseline and substantial weight loss.     

肝转移癌放射治疗进展

过去的几十年,在肝转移癌的治疗方面,放疗已经越来越多的应用于临床。对于局部肝转移癌,临床上往往采取加大剂量已提高局部控制率,以期提高患者生产期。但是,对于有症状的广泛性肝转移患者则给以全肝低剂量照射。放疗已成为不适合手术或化疗等方式的肝转移癌患者的有效治疗手段。放疗靶区勾画及放疗技术进步更好的保护了高剂量靶区周围的正常肝脏组织,使得提高靶区放疗剂量的手段很好的应用于临床。关于肝转移癌的适形与立体定向放疗治疗的提高局控率及生存期的临床研究不断出现。本文就局部肝转移的根治放疗与全肝的姑息放疗临床数据做相关综述,认为放疗在肝转移癌的治疗中是安全,有效的。但是,肝转移癌的临床随机试验研究仍较匮乏。     

门静脉高压脾功能亢进对大鼠肝癌发生率的影响

目的:通过对门静脉高压脾功能亢进大鼠药物诱导肝癌过程中进行脾脏切除,探讨门静脉高压脾功能亢进对大鼠肝癌发生率的影响。方法:将雌雄SD大鼠性别内分别分为对照组、脾亢组、脾亢切脾组,脾功能亢进大鼠模型采用门静脉缩窄术联合脾静脉结扎术进行制备,各组均予以DEN(二乙基亚硝胺)腹腔注射,按体重20mg/kg给药,每周3次,12周停药,14周处死。其中,脾亢脾切除组于给药第四周进行脾切除术,手术恢复期间持续给药。观察各组实验动物的肝脏大体变化及病理改变,计算成瘤率。结果:实际成瘤率显示脾亢组较对照组明显升高,而雄性脾亢切脾组的成瘤率较脾亢组有所降低。雌性脾亢切脾组成瘤率同脾亢组差异不明显。结论:门静脉高压脾功能亢进状态下进行脾切除,对于雄性能减低肝癌发生的风险,对于雌性的意义不大,给临床实际工作提供了新的思路。     

Evidence for regulated monoacylglycerol acyltransferase expression and activity in human liver

Intrahepatic lipid accumulation is extremely common in obese subjects and is associated with the development of insulin resistance and diabetes. Hepatic diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol synthesis predominantly occurs through acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate. However, an alternative pathway for synthesizing diacylglycerol from monoacylglycerol acyltransferases (MGAT) could also contribute to hepatic glyceride pools. MGAT activity and the expression of the three genes encoding MGAT enzymes (MOGAT1, MOGAT2, and MOGAT3) were determined in liver biopsies from obese human subjects before and after gastric bypass surgery. MOGAT expression was also assessed in liver of subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or control livers. All MOGAT genes were expressed in liver, and hepatic MGAT activity was readily detectable in liver lysates. The hepatic expression of MOGAT3 was highly correlated with MGAT activity, whereas MOGAT1 and MOGAT2 expression was not, and knockdown of MOGAT3 expression attenuated MGAT activity in a liver-derived cell line. Marked weight loss following gastric bypass surgery was associated with a significant reduction in MOGAT2 and MOGAT3 expression, which were also overexpressed in NAFLD subjects. These data suggest that the MGAT pathway is active and dynamically regulated in human liver and could be an important target for pharmacologic intervention for the treatment of obesity-related insulin resistance and NAFLD.

<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-Carnitine induces recovery of liver lipid metabolism in cancer cachexia

Cancer cachexia causes metabolic alterations with a marked effect on hepatic lipid metabolism. l-Carnitine modulates lipid metabolism and its supplementation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy in many diseases. In the present study, the effects of l-carnitine supplementation on gene expression and on liver lipid metabolism-related proteins was investigated in cachectic tumour-bearing rats. Wistar rats were assigned to receive 1 g/kg of l-carnitine or saline. After 14 days, supplemented and control animals were assigned to a control (N), control supplemented with l-carnitine (CN), tumour-bearing Walker 256 carcinosarcoma (TB) and tumour-bearing supplemented with l-carnitine (CTB) group. The mRNA expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and II (CPT I and II), microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and organic cation transporter 2 (OCTN2) was assessed, and the maximal activity of CPT I and II in the liver measured, along with plasma and liver triacylglycerol content. The gene expression of MTP, and CPT I catalytic activity were reduced in TB, who also showed increased liver (150%) and plasma (3.3-fold) triacylglycerol content. l-Carnitine supplementation was able to restore these parameters back to control values (p < 0.05). These data show that l-carnitine preserves hepatic lipid metabolism in tumour-bearing animals, suggesting its supplementation to be of potential interest in cachexia.     

Predicting the effects of a high‐energy diet on fatty liver and hippocampal‐dependent memory in male rats

Objective:

In rodents, diets exceeding nutritional requirements (i.e., high‐energy diets; HED) impair hippocampal‐dependent memory. Our research suggests that the effects likely involve HED‐induced increases in liver lipids. In this experiment, rats were provided with diet choices to test whether voluntary consumption of a HED impairs spatial memory, whether differences in initial weight gain predict memory deficits, and whether increases in liver lipids are associated with the memory deficits.

Design and Methods:

Adult male Sprague‐Dawley rats were given a control diet or cafeteria‐style HED for 8 weeks. Weight gain during the first 5 days on the diet was used to divide rats into a HED‐Lean group and a HED‐Obese group. Spatial water maze memory was tested 8 weeks later and postmortem liver lipid concentrations were quantified.

Results:

Compared with the HED‐Lean and control rats, the HED‐Obese rats had impaired spatial memory and met the human diagnostic criterion of non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (>5% liver lipids relative to liver weight). Moreover, liver lipids were correlated with memory deficits.

Conclusions:

These findings show that voluntary consumption of a HED impairs memory, that initial weight gain predicts fatty liver and memory deficits, and that fatty liver may contribute to the memory‐impairing effects of obesity.     

Impact d’une méthode originale de synchronisation respiratoire sur la détection des lésions hépatiques en TEP/TDM au F-FDG

In ¹⁸F-Fluoro-Desoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), respiratory motion induces bias in image interpretations. These movements can introduce organs misregistration between both modalities yielding erroneous attenuation correction and thus wrong maximum standardized uptake values (SUV_max). We present here the results of a clinical study which aims to assess the benefits of a novel respiratory gating method (CT-based) for liver lesions detection. Forty-nine patients planed to undergo hepatic surgery were addressed to our department for PET/CT examination before surgery. Each patient had both standard and CT-based protocols. Hepatic lesions described by two observers on PET images were compared with pathological analysis and intra-operative ultrasound. Sensitivities calculated for observer 1 were 60 and 64% for standard and CT-based, respectively. For the second observer, sensitivities were 58.7 and 72%. CT-based showed a significant increase (P < 0.01) of sensitivity on a per-lesion basis for one observer. CT-based did not improve inter-observer variability. At last, SUV_max were significantly higher with CT-based method (P < 0.001). Respiratory gating CT-based method is easily bearable by the patients. This procedure ensures good matching between both modalities and reduces motion-blurring effect in PET data. CT-based method improves liver lesions detectability and allows more accurate quantitation compared to non-gated FDG-PET/CT examinations.
