ObjectiveTo evaluate donor safety in living donor liver transplantation. MethodsThe clinical data of 356 donors underwent living liver donation in our center from January 2001 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into pre-2008 group(before January 2008) and post-2008 group(after January 2008). The donor safety was evaluated with regard to three aspects, i.e. complications, liver function, and quality of life. Results①There was no donor death in our center.②The overall complications rate was 23.3%(83/356). The proportion of ClavienⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, andⅣcomplications was 50.6%(42/83), 26.5%(22/83), 21.7%(18/83), and 1.2%(1/83), respectively. In all the donors, the incidence of ClavienⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, andⅣcomplications was 11.8%(42/356), 6.2%(22/356), 5.1%(18/356), and 0.3%(1/356), respectively. The overall complications rate in the post-2008 group was significantly lower than that in the pre-2008 group〔18.1%(41/227) versus 32.6%(42/129), P < 0.01〕. The most common complication was the biliary complication with an incidence of 8.4%(30/356).③The postoperative liver dysfunction was transient and generally retur-ned to normal level within a week.④The donor's quality of life was generally satisfied as assessed by the SF-36 tool, and 94.8%(239/252) of them would donate again if necessary. ConclusionEver improving surgical and anesthetic techniques, together with strict donor selection and specialized perioperative management, could guarantee a low donor morbidity and a satisfactory long-term prognosis.
Objective To approach whether the postoperative recovery processes of the living donors and hepaticpatients after right hepatectomy is similar. Methods The clinical data of consecutive cases from 2009 to 2010 in our liver transplantation center was retrospectively analyzed， including 40 cases who donated the right lobe without the middlehepatic vein （living donor liver transpalntation-donor group， abbreviated as LDLT-D group） and 80 hepatic patients forright hepatectomy， in which 40 cases were hepatic patients without cirrhosis （liver disease-noncirrhosis group， abbreviatedas LD-NC group） and 40 cases were hepatic patients with cirrhosis （liver disease-with cirrhosis group， abbreviated asLD-WC group）. Preoperative liver function and general clinical data， intraoperative blood loss and transfusion， postoper-ative liver function， and complications were statistically analyzed in this study. Results The preoperative parameters of three groups were comparable. LDLT-D group experienced more intraoperative bleeding than LD-NC group 〔（765±411） mL vs. （584±242） mL， P=0.008〕， and was similar to LD-WC group 〔（666±224） mL， P=0.136〕. However， the average amount of blood transfusion products was similar among the 3 groups （P=0.108）. The levels of total bilirubin and INR of LDLT-D group were higher than LD-NC group and LD-WC group on the first and third day after operation （P＜0.05）. The levels of ALT and AST of LD-WC group were higher than LDLT-D group and LD-NC group （P＜0.05）. The overall postoperative surgical morbidity incidence of LDLT-D group， LD-NC group， and LD-WC group were 30.0%（12/40）， 27.5% （11/40）， and 37.5% （15/40） respectively， and were not statistically significant （P=0.606）. However， the ClavienⅢcomplication rate of LD-WC group was higher than LDLT-D group and LD-NC group 〔27.5% （11/40） vs. 7.5%（3/40） and 10.0% （4/40）， P=0.024〕. Conclusions Liver function of living donors is injured more seriously during the early postoperative period. The total complication rates after right hepatectomy are similar among the living liver donation and hepatic patients with or without cirrhosis. However， the serious complication rate of cirrhotic liver recipients is higher than living donors and patients without cirrhosis.
【Abstract】ObjectiveThe growing gap between the number of patients waiting for transplantation and available organs has continued to be the number one issue facing the transplant community. The major limitation of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is the adequacy of the graft size. But donor safety is the major concern in LDLT. Methods Two patients with end-stage liver disease were successfully performed adult-to-adult LDLT using dual grafts in our division. One patient’s donors are left lobe and left lobe from his two old sisters , respectively. The other graft are right lobe from his 56 years-old mother and left lobe splitting from a cadaveric organ donor (the other part of split-liver transplants from the the cadaveric organ donor offer to another adult donor ). Results Both recipients and three donors display good graft function and normal triangularshape regeneration of their liver grafts after liver transplantation. There was neither a mortality nor a serious complications in the donors. Conclusion The critical issue of LDLT is donor morbidity. Dual grafts from two living donors can help to alleviate the problem of small-for-size grafts and yet secure the safety of the donor. But the complicated surgical technique give a great challenge for liver transplant surgeons.
Objective To summarize the clinical experience of harvesting the lung of a brain death donor by international standardized methods, so as to establ ish a set of standards and regulations appl icable for harvesting the lung of brain-death donors in China. Methods The operation was performed on 1 brain-death donor who had endured 50 hours of mechanical ventilation. The donor was assessed by donor lung function test and international brain death standard. Then the organ was perfused and trimmed ready for lung transplantation. Results We succeeded in harvesting the heart, lung, liver, kidney and cornea from this brain-death voluntary donor. The harvested lung was successfully transplanted into a recipient. And the recipient recovered well after operation. Conclusion The successful experience of harvesting the lung of the brain-death voluntary donor will contribute to the development and promotion of the utilization of brain-death donor suppl ies.

Objective To summarize and further investigate the initial experience of organ procurement process for organ donation after cardiac death （DCD）. Methods The clinical data，the selected standard，and the organ procurement process of 28 cases of DCD from July 2009 to January 2012 in the liver transplantation center of Guangzhou General Hospital were reviewed and analyzed. Results Twenty-eight cases of DCD all had donated organs successfully. Among these cases，there were 3 cases （10.7%） of the Maastricht Ⅲ， and one case （3.6%） of the Maastricht Ⅳ，and 24 cases （85.7%） of the organ donation after brain death plus cardiac death （DBCD）．Three cases of the Maastricht Ⅲ were practiced the organ procurement process of DCD．One case of the Maastricht Ⅳ was practiced the organ procurement process of DBCD without the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation （ECMO）．Twenty-four cases of DBCD were practiced the organ procurement process of DBCD with the ECMO．The donator warm ischemic time was zero min in DBCD，18 min in Maastricht Ⅳ，and mean 25 min （22-28 min） in MaastrichtⅢ．All the donated organs included 28 livers，40 kidneys，and 2 hearts．And all these organs had been practiced the liver transplantation，the kidney transplantation，and the heart transplantation. Conclusions The organ procurement process for organ DCD includes the DCD process and the DBCD process in China，and the later includes the organ procurement process with the ECMO and without the ECMO．The ECMO could well control the warm ischemia for protecting the donors just without ethics dispute. So，the using of the ECMO for the organ DCD of citizen in China has a very important contribution．
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the effect of donor blood transfusion on inducing pancreatic allograft tolerance in outbred rat model. Methods Wistar male rats were used as blood and pancreas donor, and diabetic recipients. One ml of donor blood injected into abdomen of diabetic recipients on the day of transplantation and azathioprine given 2 days pretransplant and continued for three days. Results Pancreas allograft survival was significantly prolonged (28 to 112 days, media survival time 64.2 days). One ml of donor blood alone injected into the abdomen and azathioprine given alone 2 days pretransplant did not improve allograft survival (media survival time 9.8 vs 10.2 days). Conclusion Donor blood injected on the day of transplantation and a 3 days course of azathioprine started 2 days pretransplant have b synergism in inducing long term graft survival in this rat model.
