Simultaneous hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis after living donor liver transplantation

Simultaneous hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis rarely occurs after liver transplantation. The etiology is unknown. Of 213 patients (72 children and 141 adults) that underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) from January 1996 to March 2003, 4 (2%) developed simultaneous thrombosis at 3 hours to 7 days (median, 4 days) after the operation. Emergent thrombectomy was performed in three patients; the remaining patient was registered in the Japan organ transplant network. All of the patients died due to hepatic failure (range, 18 hours to 6 days after the diagnosis; median, 2 days). Portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic vein velocity in the liver graft were measured every 12 hours by Doppler ultrasonography for 2 weeks after liver transplantation. These parameters were stable until just before the simultaneous thrombosis. These findings indicate that protocol Doppler ultrasonography can diagnose, but not predict, this fatal complication.     

Comparison of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Laser Doppler Flowmetry for Detecting Decreased Hepatic Inflow in the Porcine Liver

Hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis are devastating complications of partial liver transplantation. Early detection of inflow complications is important, as re-reconstruction can salvage the graft. Near-infrared spectroscopy or laser Doppler flowmetry can be used to detect tissue oxygenation or microcirculation on the liver surface. The aim of this study was to examine which of these two methods better detects changes in hepatic inflow. Sangen-strain pigs (n = 5) were used. The tips of the near-infrared spectroscopy and laser Doppler flowmetry probes were placed separately on the surface of the right liver. Inflow to the liver was controlled during the following seven conditions: control (not clamped), half- and totally clamped portal vein, half- and totally clamped hepatic artery, and half- and totally clamped portal vein and artery. Tissue blood flow was calculated using laser Doppler flowmetry. Oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and the tissue oxygenation index were measured and calculated using a near-infrared spectroscopy system. The tissue blood flow and oxygenation index could not be used to differentiate between the half-clamped portal vein, half-clamped hepatic artery, and totally clamped portal vein conditions. The oxyhemoglobin minus deoxyhemoglobin value was significantly decreased after half or total clamping of the portal vein or hepatic artery (p <. 001 for each condition). The findings of the present study indicate that near-infrared spectroscopy was more sensitive than Doppler flowmetry for detecting changes in hepatic tissue inflow from the liver surface.

Platelet-rich plasma combined with hydroxyapatite for lumbar interbody fusion promoted bone formation and decreased an inflammatory pain neuropeptide in rats

STUDY DESIGN.: A prospective interventional trial, using a rat model of lumbar interbody fusion. OBJECTIVE.: To examine the potential efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for lumbar interbody fusion, using hydroxyapatite (HA). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: PRP is an autologous product containing a high concentration of platelets in a small volume of plasma and has osteoinductive effects. HA has osteoconductive ability and has been used in combination with autogenous bone for spine fusion. However, reports using PRP with HA for spine fusion are very few. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of PRP with HA for spinal interbody fusion and at the same time to estimate the change in immunoreactivity of the inflammatory neuropeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons innervating spinal discs. METHODS.: A total of 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. Twenty-one rats were used for conducting interbody fusion experiments, 7 rats were used as immunostaining controls, and 7 other rats were used as blood donors for making PRP. L5-L6 interbody fusion was performed on 21 rats using HA + PRP (n = 7), HA + platelet-poor plasma (n = 7), or HA + saline (n = 7). Simultaneously, Fluoro-Gold neurotracer was applied to the intervertebral space to detect DRG neurons innervating the discs. L5-L6 lumbar radiographs were obtained and lumbar DRGs were immunostained for CGRP. The rate of bone union and the change in CGRP immunoreactive DRG neurons innervating the discs were evaluated and compared among groups. RESULTS.: All L5-L6 lumbar discs were fused in the PRP + HA group (fused 7/total 7), whereas only 1 case was fused in the platelet-poor plasma group (1 of 7) and no cases in the HA-only group (0 of 7), which was a significant difference. Upon immunohistochemical analysis, CGRP-positive neurons innervated L5-L6 intervertebral discs in nonunion cases, and these were significantly increased compared with those in union cases. CONCLUSION.: Our study suggests that using PRP with HA was beneficial for spine fusion. This combination may promote bone union and also decrease inflammatory neuropeptide in sensory neurons innervating the discs.     

In situ imaging of the autonomous intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations of osteoblasts and osteocytes in bone

Bone cells form a complex three-dimensional network consisting of osteoblasts and osteocytes embedded in a mineralized extracellular matrix. Ca(2+) acts as a ubiquitous secondary messenger in various physiological cellular processes and transduces numerous signals to the cell interior and between cells. However, the intracellular Ca(2+) dynamics of bone cells have not been evaluated in living bone. In the present study, we developed a novel ex-vivo live Ca(2+) imaging system that allows the dynamic intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses of intact chick calvaria explants to be observed without damaging the bone network. Our live imaging analysis revealed for the first time that both osteoblasts and osteocytes display repetitive and autonomic [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations ex vivo. Thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum that induces the emptying of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, abolished these [Ca(2+)](i) responses in both osteoblasts and osteocytes, indicating that Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores plays a key role in the [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations of these bone cells in intact bone explants. Another possible [Ca(2+)](i) transient system to be considered is gap junctional communication through which Ca(2+) and other messenger molecules move, at least in part, across cell-cell junctions; therefore, we also investigated the role of gap junctions in the maintenance of the autonomic [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations observed in the intact bone. Treatment with three distinct gap junction inhibitors, 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid, oleamide, and octanol, significantly reduced the proportion of responsive osteocytes, indicating that gap junctions are important for the maintenance of [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in osteocytes, but less in osteoblasts. Taken together, we found that the bone cells in intact bone explants showed autonomous [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations that required the release of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. In addition, osteocytes specifically modulated these oscillations via cell-cell communication through gap junctions, which maintains the observed [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations of bone cells.     

New hepatic vein reconstruction in left liver graft.

The incidence of hepatic venous stenosis is higher in partial liver transplantation. New methods for hepatic venous reconstruction in left liver transplantation, which secure wide anastomosis, were devised and are reported here. In the graft, the right side of the middle hepatic vein or the left side of the left hepatic vein was cut longitudinally and a rectangular-shaped vein patch was attached for venoplasty. In the recipient, after the left and middle hepatic veins were joined, the right side of the middle hepatic vein was cut toward the closed right hepatic vein, making a horizontal cavotomy for anastomosis. Of 92 patients who underwent conventional hepatic vein reconstruction, 3 were complicated by hepatic venous stenosis (median follow-up 43 months). By contrast, there were no hepatic vein complications in the 20 patients who underwent the new technique (7 months). The current method appears to be technically feasible for outflow reconstruction in left liver graft transplantation.

Intraoperative direct measurement of hepatic arterial buffer response in patients with or without cirrhosis.

The hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR) is an intrinsic regulatory mechanism of the hepatic artery (HA) that compensates for reductions in portal venous (PV) blood flow. Whether this response is maintained in patients with cirrhosis (LC) is unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine whether HABR is maintained in patients with LC using direct blood flow measurements. PV and HA blood flow were intraoperatively measured and compared in patients with (LC group, n = 39) or without (control group, n = 22) cirrhosis at baseline (baseline HABR) and after PV clamping (acute HABR) using an ultrasound transit-time flowmeter. In contrast to the proportional relationship between the baseline PV and HA blood flow observed in the control group, HA blood flow and the HA-PV flow ratio increased when PV blood flow decreased in the LC group, suggesting that the baseline HABR had already been activated. Acute HABR, evaluated by the absolute and relative changes in HA blood flow and by the buffer capacity, was blunted in the LC group (P < 0.001, P < 0.01, and P = 0.01, respectively). An association between the degree of acute HABR impairment and the level of baseline HABR activation (HA-PV flow ratio) could not be confirmed in the LC group. In conclusion, the baseline HABR appears to be continuously activated in patients with LC; this phenomenon probably results in the impairment of the acute HABR.
