Objective: To summarize the clinical data in preventing HBV recurrence after liver transplantation and explore a optimal individual protocol in prophylaxis of HBV recurrence.
Methods: We retrospected outcomes in 195 recipients who underwent a liver transplantation for HBV-related liver disease between June 2004 and July 2008. According to the anti-virus protocol these recipients are divided into two groups as following: group A received a protocol of combination treatment of lamivudine with HBIG, and group B with combination treatment of adefovir with HBIG. With mean follow-up of 23.7 months, HBV recurrent rate was observed in overall and each group separately.
Results: A total of 195 liver transplant recipients were identified that met the study criteria. At the sixth and eleventh month after operation, HBV recurrence appeared in 2 recipients, each in two groups, which were due to LAM cessation and HBV mutation respectively. Recurrent rate was 0.6% in group A, 3.7% in group B and 1% in total. There was no significant difference in HBV recurrent rate between group A and B.
Conclusion: Lamivudine combined with HBIg should be considered as a reliable method in preventing HBV recurrence after liver transplantation. Better outcomes can be achieved by individual anti-virus protocol and HBIg administration according to HBV status in recipient.

While Trisomy X syndrome is typically characterized by developmental and cognitive variations, it is not commonly associated with immunodeficiencies. We report the unique case of a 6-year-old girl with Trisomy X presenting with selective IgA deficiency, challenging the conventional understanding of this chromosomal condition. The patient exhibited recurrent respiratory infections and gastrointestinal symptoms, evaluated in the context of her genetic background of Trisomy X and significantly low levels of IgA (0.

Background: Large-for-size syndrome (LFSS) is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication following adult liver transplantation (LT). Reduced-size liver transplantation (RSLT) is considered a valuable alternative to delayed fascial closure or mesh closure for preventing LFSS. In this article, we report a successful adult-to-adult RSLT case with right posterior graft sectionectomy using three-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted planning.

Background And Purpose: Identifying and assessing hemodynamic and flow status in patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is crucial for evaluating recurrent stroke risk. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between two quantitative imaging modalities: (1) blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and (2) quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (qMRA) with non-invasive optimal vessel analysis (NOVA), measuring volume flow rate (VFR). Comparing these modalities is relevant for assessing collateral circulation and hemodynamic impairment.

Background: The prognostic impact of preoperative gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR) levels in patients with solitary hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following radical resection has not been established.
Aim: To examine the clinical utility of GPR for prognosis prediction in solitary HBV-related HCC patients.
Methods: A total of 1167 solitary HBV-related HCC patients were retrospectively analyzed.

Background And Aims: The immune microenvironment (IME) plays a crucial role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In HCC, the IME is often compromised by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis. Both antiviral therapy (AVT) and the alleviation of inflammation and fibrosis (AIF) have been shown to improve prognosis.
