Hepatocyte isolation from pig livers after warm ischaemic injury

Abstract Hepatocyte cultures have been used extensively for a wide variety of physiological, pharmacological and experimental studies. The warm ischaemic period before isolation is kept to a minimum to achieve a high yield of cells isolated and a good viability for culture. We have recently introduced a new concept of liver resuscitation after warm ischaemia that is based on a 3-h reperfusion period with an improved perfusate and simultaneous dialysis. In this study, we applied the new technique for hepatocyte isolation from livers subjected to 80 min of complete ischaemia at 37 °C. Cell yield was improved by a resuscitating perfusion from 58% to 73% and viability from 39% to 76%.     

犬自体脾块移植后部分脾功能变化的研究

24条本地健康杂种犬随机分成3组:①切脾组;②对照组;③自体脾组织移植组。实验表明犬自体脾块大网膜内移植存活良好,并恢复部分脾功能。切脾后犬周围血嗜中性粒细胞的细菌吞噬率和杀菌功能均低于正常犬,而行脾组织移植后能使之接近正常水平。但移植脾的脾小体中T淋巴细胞数和红髓中单核吞噬细胞数均少于正常脾组织。

乙型肝炎与肝硬化和肝细胞癌的关系

近年来,应用免疫组织化学技术观察肝组织内乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)的研究屡有报导。大多数作者认为乙型肝炎在肝硬化、肝癌的发病中起重要作用;但有的流行病学研究则认为在某些地区,肝炎不是肝癌的病因。我省是肝癌高发区之一,关于这方面尚未见有报道。本文应用免疫酶法标记定位观察肝硬化、肝癌病人肝组织中HBsAg,以探讨本地区肝炎与肝硬化和肝细胞癌的关系。     

肝病患者血清中总胆汁酸测定的意义

采用全自动酶法分析法 ,测定 32 1例各种肝病患者血清总胆汁酸 (TBA)。结果表明 :血清总胆汁酸是一种较灵敏的肝功能指标。在各类肝病中 ,尤其是急性肝炎、肝硬化、肝癌患者的总胆汁酸 (TBA)浓度均明显高于正常对照组 (P<0 .0 1) ,并在肝功能常规指标改变不明显时对肝脏疾病的诊断有一定的价值     

Morphologic changes of the liver following chemotherapy for metastatic breast carcinoma: CT findings

Thirty patients with metastatic breast carcinoma to the liver underwent systemic chemotherapy. Twentyfour of these patients also received hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, three in conjunction with hepatic artery embolization. The morphologic changes of the liver believed to be due to chemotoxic effect of treatment occurred in 27 patients, and were evaluated by serial computed tomography (CT) examinations. These included fatty changes in seven patients, severe cirrhotic changes in four, localized atrophy with regional contour changes in three, and areas of low density in the regions of previously treated metastases in 13. The CT features of cirrhosis included density changes along with nodular irregularity of the hepatic borders with marked decrease in liver size and development of ascites.     

CCl4和PS两种SD大鼠模型肝纤维化进程时效关系对比研究

目的　比较CCl4 法和PS法两种肝纤维化制模方法在肝纤维化形成进程中时效关系和病理学特征。方法　采用CCl4 和PS法制作SD大鼠肝纤维化模型 ,分别观察在造模第 6、10、14、2 0周时肝脏组病学特征 ,Masson三色染色和计算机图像分析系统进行分析。结果　CCl4 法于制模第 6周即可见肝脏假小叶形成 ,于第 10周始最为典型 ;随着假小叶的形成和造模方法停止 ,肝脏病理结构变化趋于稳定 ;肝细胞脂肪变性尤为突出 ,与模型制作进程相平行。PS法于造模第 10周即造模结束时方见纤维间隔形成 ,造模虽已停止但肝纤维化进程加速完成 ,肝组织分隔严重 ,假小叶形成较多并进展到第 2 0周 ;制模自始至终 ,肝细胞未见明显脂肪变性。结论　CCl4 和PS两种制模方法在肝纤维化形成进程中所表现出的时效关系和病理特征有所不同 ,提示两种制模方法在形成肝纤维化机制方面有所不同。结合使用两种方法研究肝纤维化更为合理 ;以抗肝纤维化干预因子进行干预研究时 ,干预因子的持续时间宜延长至肝纤维化形成之高峰期或之后 ,持续时间至少 14周 ;预防和治疗用药干预研究时 ,其起始时间宜分别以造模开始前 4周和造模停止前 4周为宜     

Association of multiple liver cell adenomas with spontaneous intrahepatic portohepatic shunt

The association of multiple liver cell adenomas containing foci of focal nodular hyperplasia with a spontaneous intrahepatic portohepatic venous shunt is reported in a 13-year-old male patient. At least eight nodules less than 10 cm in diameter were recognized and proved by means of surgical resection or surgical biopsies. These lesions were heterogeneous and hypodense on precontrast computed tomographic (CT) scans, and were slightly enhanced after injection of contrast medium. At magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, the signal intensity of these nodules varied. It was either hyperintense or hypointense on T1-weighted SE images. Sonography and angiography demonstrated a portohepatic venous shunt and hepatic arterialization was observed. These findings emphasize the hypothesis that hepatic arterialization may cause the development of liver cell adenomas. Moreover, it is suggested that liver cell adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia have a common pathogenesis.     

重组2型腺相关病毒-转化生长因子β3对实验性肝纤维化大鼠肝脏组织病理学和Ⅰ型胶原表达的影响

Objective To investgate the effects of TGF β 3 on rat hepatic fibrosis. Methods The TGF β 3 cDNA was cloned into rAAV2 vector. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, negative control group and TGF β 3 group. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by hypodermic injection of 40% CCI4. Recombinant AAV2-TGF β 3 viral particles were injected via the vena caudalis one week before CCh treatment. Rats were executed 8 weeks after CCI4 treatment, global histological change was observed after HE staining, the distribution of the collagen fibers was observed after masson staining, his-tochemistry was done to observe the expression of collagen Ⅰ; The positive area rate of the collagen fibers and the average optical rate of collagen Ⅰ were quantified. Results HE staining indicated that collagen fibers were reduced in the TGF β 3 group. Masson staining shown that the collagen fibers were distributed around the blood vessel, in the portal area and disse space. Compared to the model group (13.2%±2.2%) and negative control group (12.3%±1.5%), the collagen fibers in liver tissues of TGF β3 group (7.7% ± 1.5%) were significantly decreased (q = 9.456, P < 0.01; q = 8.217, P < 0.01). Histochemistry indicated that the collagen fibers of liver tissues of TGF 15 3 group (0.185±0.033) were significantly higher than those in the model group (0.252±0.042) and the negative control group (0.230±0.029), (q = 6.228, P < 0.01; q = 4.346, P < 0.01). Conclusion TGF β 3 alleviates the damage to hepatic cell and the level offibrosis in CCI4 treated rats and inhibits the expression of collagen Ⅰ.     

THE PHENOTYPE OF MAST CELL IN PRIMARY ADENOID LIVER TUMOR OF RAT AND ITS RELATION TO TUMOR CELL

Mast cells in adenoid liver tumors of 32 rats induced with nitrosomorpholine were observed ultrastructurally, and among them, some were studied immunocytochemically via immunogold techniques. Data indicating that mast cells which located in tumor tissues presented positive expression of rat mast cell protein (RMCP) Ⅰ, Indicating origination from the mucosa mast cells, while those in the connective tissues around tumors were largely stained negatively with either RMCP Ⅰor RMCP Ⅰ antisera, with the exception of only a few cells showing positive RMCP Ⅰ staining. Ultrastructural observation showed that mast cells in tumon contacted closely with the tumor cells. Membranes of the intracytoplasmic granules in these mast cells were fusing together. The content inside the granules were discharged and spread along the intercellular space between the tumor cells. There was not any lesion observed uitrasructrually in the tumor cells contacting with the mast cells. The significance of mucosa mast cells in adenoi
