Introduction
The importance of preoperative donor/recipient colonization or donor infection by extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (XDR-GNB) and its relation to serious post-transplantation infection pathogenicity in liver transplantation (LT) patients has not been clarified.Aim
Prevention of postoperative infection due to XDR-GNB with the appropriate perioperative chemoprophylaxis or treatment based on preoperative donor/recipient surveillance cultures in LT patients, as well as their outcome.Materials and Method
Twenty-six patients (20 male, 6 female) were studied (average preoperative Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score ≈15, range: 8–29) from January 2017 to January 2018. In all patients, blood, urine, and bronchial secretions culture samples as well as a rectal colonization culture were taken pre- and postoperatively, once weekly after LT, and after intensive care unit discharge. Recipients with positive XDR-GNB colonization and patients receiving a transplant from a donor with an XDR-GNB positive culture or colonization received the appropriate chemoprophylaxis one half hour preoperatively according to culture results. De-escalation of the antibiotic regimen was done in 2 to 5 days based on the colonization/culture results of the donor and recipient and their clinical condition. Evaluation for serious infection was done at 1 week and at 28 days for outcome results.Results
Fourteen out of 26 recipients (53.8%) were positive for XDR-GNB colonization preoperative, with 2/14 (14.28%) presenting serious infection due to the same pathogen. Intensive care unit length of stay was significantly longer in colonized with XDR-GNB patients (P < .0001). The outcome of colonized patients was 6/14 (42.8%) expired, but only in 2/14 (14.2%) was mortality attributable to infection.Conclusion
Administering appropriate perioperative chemoprophylaxis and treatment may limit the frequency of XDR-GNB infections and intensive care unit length of stay and may improve the outcome in LT recipients. 相似文献2.

Introduction
Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder transmitted through a gene located on chromosome 13. Liver transplantation (LT) provides a therapeutic option for patients with WD presenting fulminant liver failure or drug resistance. LT in patients with WD has a twofold aim: to save the patient's life when the disorder has progressed to hepatic (or other organ) failure and to cure the underlying metabolic defect. The aim of our study was to investigate the indications, aspects and post-operative outcomes in pediatric patients (<?18 years old) with WD who underwent LT.Methods
A meticulous search of the literature since 1971 was performed. A retrospective analysis of all the studies, presenting cases of LT in children due to WD, was conducted. Studies that did not report patients' characteristics, transplantation indications, post-operative outcomes, and complications, as well as those with small study populations (<?10 patients), were excluded.Results
Six studies were included in the present review, which involved 290 children. The main indications for LT included chronic liver failure and fulminant liver failure. The average 1-year survival rate was 91.9%, while the average 5-year survival rate was 88.2%. Retransplantation was performed in 16 patients due to transplant rejection. In general, patients transplanted for WD displayed an excellent quality of life after LT.Conclusion
LT is a safe and efficient procedure in selected pediatric patients with WD, demonstrating excellent long-term outcomes and quality of life. 相似文献3.

Background
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a comorbidity associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of PH on intrahospital mortality in lung transplantation (LT) for ILD.Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 66 patients who underwent LT for ILD at the 12 de Octubre University Hospital (Madrid, Spain) from October 2008 to June 2014. PH was defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg on right-sided heart catheterization and intrahospital mortality as any death taken place after the transplantation of patients not being discharged.Results
We retrospectively analyzed data of 66 patients; they were stratified by the presence or absence of PH before LT. Twenty-seven patients (41%) had PH. The PH group had a lower diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO), carbon monoxide transfer coefficient (KCO), and 6-minute walk distance test (6MWT) and a higher total lung capacity (TLC), modified medical research council dyspnea scale (mMRC), and lung allocation score (LAS) than the non-PH group. Patients with PH more often underwent double lung transplantation (DLT; 59%) than single lung transplantation (SLT).Intrahospital mortality was 13% (9/66). No significant differences were observed in Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the PH and non-PH groups with a median survival time of 46 days versus 33 days (IQR 26–74; log-rank P = .056); however, the postoperative length of stay in the hospital was greater in the PH group.Conclusions
In our cohort, pulmonary hypertension was not related to early mortality in lung transplantation recipients for interstitial lung diseases. 相似文献4.

Purpose
Liver transplantation (LT) constitutes a major therapeutic option for a number of patients suffering from liver pathologies. Pregnancy outcomes in patients who have undergone LT are assessed by a number of studies. The aim of our systematic review was to present the currently available evidence concerning the results of pregnancy in patients with LT.Materials and Methods
A meticulous systematic search of the literature published before September 2017 for studies relevant in this field was conducted. All studies, which presented obstetric and maternal outcomes of patients with prior LT, were included.Results
Nineteen studies, which comprised 1290 pregnancies in 885 female LT recipients, were reviewed. A total of 1014 live births were recorded, and the incidence of spontaneous abortions ranged from 0.5% to 33.3%. Concerning live births, a proportion of 32% of pregnancies resulted in preterm births (345 preterm births in 1079 pregnancies, range 0%-39%), and in 16% of pregnancies preeclampsia was reported (188 cases from 1173 pregnancies, range 2%-33.3%). The most commonly administered immunosuppressive drugs were cyclosporine and tacrolimus alone or with steroids. Cesarean section rates ranged from 20% to 67.9% among the included studies, concerning live birth. Moreover, approximately one-third of them resulted in preterm birth. Spontaneous abortions were reported in 176 cases (range: 0.5%-33.3%), and preeclampsia occurred in 188 patients (range: 2%-33.3%).Conclusion
Pregnancy outcomes from the included studies are encouraging, nonetheless pregnant patients who have undergone LT are at high risk and therefore require close monitoring by a multidisciplinary team. 相似文献5.

Introduction
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis is a widely accepted indication for liver transplantation (LT). Many scoring systems have been proposed intending to an extension of the established Milan criteria. Bridging treatments are systematically applied in order to maintain or to downstage such patients to the listing criteria. The objective of our study was to estimate the feasibility of the prediction of microvascular tumor invasion in transplant candidates.Patients and methods
Data corresponding to transplanted HCC patients were reviewed for the purposes of this study. All tumor slices were blindly re-evaluated by a single pathologist in order to score for tumor necrosis and microvascular invasion. Recipients of pediatric or split LT were excluded.Results
Eighty patients (30 women and 50 men) were included in the study. Tumor necrosis was absent in 29 of 80 liver explants (36.25%). In the majority of instances (63.75%) tumor necrosis was evident in proportions between 5% and 100%. In 58 liver explants showing 0%-60% tumor necrosis and 22 liver explants showing >?60% tumor necrosis, microvascular tumor invasion was detectable in 11 and 0 cases, respectively (P = .0385).Conclusion
In about one-fourth of the cases (27.5%) microvascular tumor invasion could not be detected due to extended areas of tumor necrosis. Preoperative detection of microvascular invasion is misleading. 相似文献6.

Case series.Introduction
A salvaged limb is one that has undergone a major traumatic injury, followed by repeated surgical attempts in order to avoid amputation. Psychological recovery for individuals with lower extremity limb salvage has been examined in a number of studies. However, psychosocial reactions for individuals with upper extremity (UE) limb salvage are understudied in the literature.Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to explore the process of psychosocial adaptation for 3 trauma cases after UE limb salvage.Methods
The Reactions to Impairment and Disability Inventory was used to assess psychosocial adaptation. Physical function outcomes (pain, range of motion, edema, sensation, and dexterity) are presented. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand measure was used to assess perceived disability. Medical and rehabilitation history are discussed for each case, in order to provide in-depth understanding of the impact of these injuries.Results
Reactions to injury varied across the cases; however, outcomes suggest that psychosocial adaptation may be influenced by the experience of pain, the ability to participate in valued roles and activities, and having a supportive social network.Discussion
For this population, therapists may consider emphasizing pain management, focusing on client-centered goals and interventions, and facilitating peer support. Providers should closely monitor patients for signs of poor adaptation, such as hand-hiding behaviors.Conclusions
This study is among the first to examine psychological outcomes for the UE limb salvage population. Future research would be beneficial to provide deeper understanding of the psychosocial challenges for these individuals. 相似文献8.

Introduction
Mixed hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CC) represents a rare hepatic tumor, which demonstrates histological features of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC). HCC-CC can be an unexpected finding in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) for HCC. The objective of our review was to review and evaluate long-term outcomes in patients undergoing LT for mixed HCC-CC.Methods
A meticulous MEDLINE search was performed for articles referring to long-term results in patients who underwent LT and whose final pathology revealed HCC-CC.Results
A total of 7 studies, which comprised 93 patients who underwent LT and whose resected specimen revealed mixed HCC-CC, were included in our review. One-year overall survival (OS) rates ranged from 64% to 93%, 3-year OS ranged from 38% to 78%, and 5-year OS rates range from 14% to 78%. Disease-free-survival (DFS) rates at 1-year from LT ranged from 60-% to 64%, whereas both 3- and 5-year DFS rates ranged from 30% to 53.3%.Conclusions
Long-term results of LT in the setting of mixed HCC-CC are associated with fairly unfavorable overall outcomes compared to LT for other indications including HCC yet are improved compared to others such as intrahepatic CC. A stricter preoperative evaluation could potentially help identify the patients with mixed HCC-CC who are at high-risk after LT, reduce the risks of recurrence, and improve OS. 相似文献9.

Introduction
Despite their benign nature, liver hemangiomas (LH) are lesions that can cause major complications requiring intervention. Liver transplantation (LT) has been suggested as an effective treatment option in selected patients with giant LHs causing severe symptoms and cannot be treated otherwise. The aim of our study was to investigate the indications, aspects and post-operative outcomes of patients with a LH who underwent LT.Materials and methods
A meticulous search of the literature was performed. Studies presenting cases of LT due to LH were evaluated. Studies presenting patients characteristics and symptoms, aspects of the disease, transplantation indications and details were selected.Results
Fifteen studies were included in the present review that involved 16 patients. Among them, 4 were male while the remaining 12 were female with a mean age of 39.9 ± 8.7 years. The main indications for LT included respiratory distress, massive hemorrhage, Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, and unsuccessful previous treatment strategies. Four patients were transplanted from living donors and the remaining 12 from cadaveric donors. No post-operative deaths were reported and all patients returned to normal activity. No deaths during the long-term follow-up were reported.Conclusions
LH is an extremely rare indication for LT. Nevertheless, the currently available data suggest that LT is a safe and efficient treatment in the management of symptomatic or complicated LH in selected patients. 相似文献10.

Introduction
The aim of this study was to determine whether complications following mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) were associated with breast cancer recurrence.Methods
A retrospective review was performed of women diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer who underwent mastectomy with IBR between 2005 and 2010. Patient demographics, tumor data, surgical wound complications, treatment details and timing were recorded and analyzed.Results
We identified 458 women with a median follow up time of 7.6 years. A total of 22% of patients experienced IBR complications. There was a delay in initiation of adjuvant therapy in patients who had a complication (52 vs 41 days, p?<?0.001). There was no significant difference in recurrences between groups with and without complications (p?=?0.65).Conclusions
In breast cancer patients who undergo mastectomy with IBR, wound complications delayed initiation of adjuvant systemic therapy, but were not associated with an increased risk of cancer recurrence. 相似文献11.

Study Design
A within-subject research design was used in this study. The difference of the range of motion (ROM) with and without ulnar nerve block was analyzed.Introduction
For the clinical evaluation of the functional effects of ulnar nerve palsy at the hand the relevance of clinical tests is in discussion.Purpose of the Study
The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive value of 2 clinical tests for a simulated ulnar nerve lesion by motion analysis with a sensor glove.Methods
In 28 healthy subjects, dynamic measurements of the finger joints were performed by a sensor glove with and without ulnar nerve block at the wrist. In the 0° metacarpophalangeal (MCP) stabilization test, the subjects were asked to stabilize the MCP joints actively in 0° while moving the interphalangeal joints, whereas at the 90° MCP stabilization test, the subjects stabilized the MCP joints actively in the 90° position.Results
In the 0° MCP stabilization test, no remarkable changes of the ROM were found at the MCP joints; at the proximal interphalangeal joints 2-5, the ROM decreased with ulnar nerve block, significantly at the index, middle, and ring fingers (P < .05). In the 90° MCP stabilization test, the average ROM of the MCP joints 2-5 significantly increased with ulnar nerve block (P < .05), whereas at the PIP joints, the average ROM decreased (P < .05).Discussion
The 90° MCP stabilization test had a high predictive value for the discrimination between healthy subjects and subjects with a simulated peripheral ulnar nerve lesion.Conclusions
The results could be relevant for the determination of the functional effect of ulnar nerve palsy and the quantification of clawing in hand rehabilitation.Level of Evidence

Background
In 2008, 2005–2006 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data were used to identify surgical operations contributing disproportionately to morbidity and mortality. Since then, numerous enhanced recovery programs have been utilized to augment quality improvement efforts. This study reassesses procedural complication incidence after a decade of quality improvement efforts.Methods
Data from the 2015 NSQIP were used. The same original 36 general surgery procedure groups were created using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Ninety percent of our 409,230 patients matched into a procedure group and adverse event rates were analyzed for each.Results
Ten procedure groups accounted for 80% of adverse events. Colectomy ranked the highest for adverse events (34%), readmissions (27%) and mortality rates (45.8%). For outpatient cholecystectomy, the relative percent point difference for adverse events has increased by 224% since 2005.Conclusion
Refocusing on colectomy and outpatient cholecystectomy represent current priorities in general surgery. 相似文献13.

Introduction
Preservation solutions (PS), in which grafts for patients undergoing liver transplantation are stored, represent a medium suitable for microorganism growth and a potential source for transmission of pathogenic germs to the transplant recipients. The aim of the present study was to review the relevant literature for the incidence and predictors of positive microbiological findings in the PS.Patients and Methods
We performed a literature review of publications on bacterial and fungal contamination of PS during cold organ storage focusing on its impact on bacteremia and/or nosocomial infection of the recipient.Results
Overall 19 studies were reviewed, published between the years 2000 and 2016, that encompassed a total of 5647 patients. Positive cultures were identified in 1428 patients (25%). The documentation of bacteremia showed a wide deviation with documented ranges between 0% and 69%. Data on the identification of same species or of related nosocomial infections were only sparsely available; same species were found in a rate of 0% to 8%, and nosocomial infections were attributed to them in an incidence of 0% to 19%.Conclusions
Our study underlines both the limited published data and the contradictory available information on contamination of preservation solution in solid organ transplantation, not allowing for any recommendations. The necessity for prospective, multicentric studies on this topic is mandatory. 相似文献14.

Background
This study aimed to identify differences in pattern recognition skill among individuals with varying surgical experience.Methods
Participants reviewed laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos of various difficulty, and paused them when the cystic duct or artery was identified to outline each structure on the monitor. Time taken to identify each structure, accuracy and work load, which was assessed using the NASA-Task Load Index (TLX), were compared among the three groups.Results
Ten students, ten residents and eight attendings participated in the study. Attendings identified the cystic duct and artery significantly faster and more accurately than students, and identified the cystic artery faster than residents. The NASA-TLX score of attendings was significantly lower than that of students and residents.Conclusions
Attendings identified anatomical structures faster, more accurately, and with less effort than students or residents. This platform may be valuable for the assessment and teaching of pattern recognition skill to novice surgeons.Short summary
Accurate anatomical recognition is paramount to proceeding safely in surgery. The assessment platform used in this study differentiated recognition skill among individuals with varing surgical experience. 相似文献15.

Background
Existing literature has shown racial/ethnic disparities between white and black surgical populations, however, surgical outcomes for Hispanic patients are limited in both scope and quantity.Methods
Data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2007 to 2015 was used to analyze surgical outcomes in approximately 3.5 million patients.Results
Overall, Hispanics experienced lower odds of mortality compared to non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native patients (all P?<?0.0001). No difference was found in mortality odds between Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asian or Native Hawaiian patients. Hispanics experienced minimal disparities in complications as compared to non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black but had a higher rate of select complications when compared to Non-Hispanic Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.Conclusion
Hispanics, in general, had lower odds of 30-day postoperative mortality and major morbidity compared to most of the races/ethnicities included in the ACS NSQIP database. 相似文献16.

Background
Microvascular invasion (MVI) has recently been reported to be an independent prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study compared the outcomes of adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (A-TACE) after hepatic resection (HR) in patients with HCC involving MVI.Methods
This prospective study involved 200 consecutive patients with MVI-HCC who underwent HR alone (n?=?109) or HR with A-TACE (n?=?91).The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).Results
The two groups showed similar DFS at 1, 2, and 3 years (P?=?0.077). The A-TACE group showed significantly higher OS than the HR-only group (P?=?0.030). Subgroup analysis showed that A-TACE was associated with significantly higher DFS and OS among patients with a tumor diameter >5?cm or with multinodular tumors.Conclusions
A-TACE may improve postoperative outcomes for MVI-HCC patients, especially those with tumor diameter >5?cm or multinodular tumors. 相似文献17.

Aims
Variations of the anatomy of donor hepatic arteries increase the number of arterial anastomoses during liver transplantation and, possibly, the incidence of hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT). In this study, we describe the arterial anatomic variations in liver grafts procured and transplanted by a single center in Greece, the techniques of arterial anastomosis, and their effect on the incidence of early HAT.Materials and Methods
From January 2013 to December 2017, the arterial anatomy of 116 grafts procured for liver transplantation were recorded, as well as the technique of arterial anastomosis and the incidence of early hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT <30 days).Results
A single hepatic artery was recorded in 72.41% of the procured grafts, an aberrant left hepatic artery (accessory or replaced) in 18 grafts (15.52%), and an aberrant right hepatic artery (accessory or replaced) in 17 grafts (14.66%), while other variations were observed in less than 1% of the procured livers. Of the 116 primary liver transplantations, 6 patients (5.17%) developed early HAT <30 days. Two of these patients (1.72%) had 1 anastomosis of the hepatic artery and 4 (3.45%) had 2 anastomoses due to anatomic variations.Conclusions
Anatomic variations of the hepatic artery in liver grafts is a common finding and increase the incidence of early HAT but not to a degree to make these grafts unusable. 相似文献18.

Clinical measurement (reliability and validity) study.Introduction
Forearm supination is important in many daily activities and is thus measured by therapists and researchers usually with a universal goniometer. DrGoniometer, a SmartPhone application, has been validated for other joint angles in the body.Purpose of the Study
To establish the reliability and validity of DrGoniometer (CDM S.r.L, Cagliari, Italy) for measuring forearm supination in healthy populations and those with forearm fractures.Methods
Participants had sustained a distal radius fracture that was treated non-surgically. Forearm supination of the participant’s fractured (n = 30) and healthy forearm (n = 30) was measured using DrGoniometer and the universal goniometer by two assessors. The assessors were blinded to each other’s measurements and their own previous measurements. Reliability was established by calculating Intra-class Correlation Coefficients, standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change. The validity of DrGoniometer was established against the universal goniometer using Pearson’s correlation co-efficient.Results
Intra-rater reliability of both DrGoniometer and the universal goniometer was high for both fractured and healthy forearms (ICCs ranged from 0.74-0.88). Inter-rater reliability of both DrGoniometer and the universal goniometer was also high in the fractured forearm group (0.76 and 0.72 respectively), but low in the healthy forearm group (0.34 and 0.42 respectively). Correlation between the tools was excellent across the fractured and healthy forearm groups (0.94 and 0.93 respectively).Discussion
Both goniometers demonstrated good-to-excellent intrarater and iner-rater reliability except in the healthy forearm group where both goniometers demonstrated poor inter-rater reliability which could be due to assessor instructions. The speed the photo can be taken and the digital record obtained are valuable aspects of DrGoniometer.Conclusion
DrGoniometer is a valid, alternate tool for measuring forearm supination. 相似文献19.
Background
Few studies have evaluated surgical outcomes in long-term follow-up for patients undergoing Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair (LVHR).Methods
A retrospective review of long-term follow-up of LVHR patients (2002–2005) at a single institution.Results
Sixty-three patients (37 males; mean age?=?63, mean BMI?=?33, 41% for recurrence) underwent LVHR. Mean operative time was 164?min. Mean hospital stay was 3.7 days. Short- and long-term complications occurred in 19% and 44% of patients, respectively.Mean follow-up was 12.4 years. Recurrent hernias were noted in 15 patients. Seroma formation occurred in 14 patients; small bowel obstruction occurred in 10 patients. Five patients developed mesh infection. Use of PTFE mesh, longer operative time, and a larger hernia defect were risk factors for mesh infection (p?<?0.05).Conclusions
Long-term outcomes for patients undergoing LVHR are fraught with complications (44%) and a considerable risk of hernia recurrence (23%). 相似文献20.
