Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the impact of early enteral nutrition (EEN) combined with parenteral nutrition (PN) on patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
  • Patients received EEN/PN starting from January 2006, while those treated earlier received total parenteral nutrition (TPN); the analysis focused on nutrition-related outcomes and postoperative complications, with follow-ups for 30 days post-discharge.
  • Results indicated that the EEN/PN group experienced better liver function, fewer infectious complications, reduced rates of delayed gastric emptying, and shorter hospital stays compared to the TPN group, highlighting the effectiveness of early nutritional intervention.

Aim: To investigate the impact of different time points of secondary warm ischemia on bile duct in a rat autologous liver transplantation model with external bile drainage.

Methods: One hundred and thirty-six male inbred SD rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups (I-IV) according to the secondary warm ischemia time of 0, 10, 20 and 40 min. A rat model of autologous liver transplantation with continuous external biliary drainage under ether anesthesia was established.

Aim: To investigate the effect of different secondary warm ischemia time (SWIT) on bile duct injury in liver-transplanted rats.

Methods: Forty-eight male inbred Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four groups: a sham-operation group and three groups with secondary biliary warm ischemia time of 0 min, 10 min and 20 min. A rat model of autologous liver transplantation under ether anesthesia was established, and six rats were killed in each group and blood samples and the median lobe of the liver were collected for assay at 6 h and 24 h after hepatic arterial reperfusion.

Aim: To investigate the liver-protecting effect of parenteral nutrition (PN) support with omega-3 fatty acids in a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Methods: Sixty-six patients with the diagnosis of end-stage liver disease or hepatic cellular carcinoma were admitted to the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University, China for orthotopic liver transplantation. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: PN group (n = 33) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) group (n = 33).

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of liver transplantation for patients with cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods: According to the requirements of Cochrane systematic review, a thorough literature search was performed in Pubmed/Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register electronic databases ranged between 1995 and 2009 in terms of the key words "liver transplantation", and "cholangiocarcinoma" or "cholangiocellular carcinoma" or "bile duct cancer". And restricted the articles published in the English language.

Objective: To investigate the cause of liver failure after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma and explore its prevention and treatment.

Methods: The clinical data of 1000 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergone hepatectomy from July 2000 to June 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 922 male and 78 female, aging from 21 to 89 years old.
