METHODS: A systematic review of the literature in the electronic database Medline and the Clinic Trials Registry Database was performed. Literature that did not fit our study were excluded. Patients in the reviewed studies were divided into two groups; one group used aprotinin (aprotinin group) while the other did not (control group). The data in the literature that fit our requirements were recorded. Weighted mean differences (WMD) in the requirements for blood products between the aprotinin group and the control group were tested using a fixed effect model. A Z test was performed to examine their reliability; the Fleiss method of fixed effect model was used to analyze data on postoperative events, and odds ratios (ORs) were tested and merged. RESULTS: Seven citations were examined in our study. Among them, a requirement for blood products was reported in 4 studies including 321 patients, while postoperative events were reported in 5 studies including 477 patients. The requirement for red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma in the aprotinin group was statistically lower than that in the control group (WMD=-1.80 units, 95% CI,-3.38 to-0.22; WMD=-3.99 units, 95% CI,-6.47 to-1.50, respectively). However, no significant difference was indicated in the incidence of laparotomy for bleeding, thrombotic events and mortality between the two groups. Analysis on blood loss, anaphylactic reactions and renal function was not performed in this study due to a lack of sufficient information.CONCLUSION: Aprotinin can reduce the intraoperative requirement for blood products in OLT, and has no significant effect on the incidence of laparotomy for bleeding, thrombotic events and mortality.展开更多

Methods: Thirty hybrid pigs were used as donors and recipients. A renoportal end-to-end anastomosis be- tween the left renal vein and the distal end of the portal vein was performed. Two vascular end-to-side anastomoses between the donor portal vein and recip- ient inferior vena cava, and between the donor aortic segment including the celiac and superior mesenteric, and left renal arteries and recipient abdominal aorta were carried out. Pancreas exocrine secretion drain- age was established with duodenocystostomy. Ureter- ostomosis of the graft was performed. Urine amylase level, fasting blood glucose and urine volumes of kid- ney allograft were monitored, and pathological chan- ges of graft were observed. Results: Of 15 recipients, 2 died of disturbance of in- ternal environment and anastomotic bleeding, re- spectively. Satisfactory results were obtained in the remaining 13 recipients. The changes of urine amyl- ase concentration were prior to those of fasting blood glucose and urine volumes of kidney allograft. The degree of rejection of the kidney allograft was more severe than that of the pancreas and duodenum al- lograft. Conclusions: Urine amylase is the early marker of a- cute rejection in SPKT with bladder drainage of pan- creatic exocrine secretion. The pathological change of kidney allograft is most significant in SPKT.展开更多
