| 1 | Effect of Lycium barbarum Polysaccharides on the expression of endothelin-1 and its receptors in an ocular hypertension model of rat glaucoma显示文摘Lycium barbarum, a traditional Chinese anti-aging herb, has been shown to protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in a rat chronic ocular hypertension (COH) model. Here, we investigated the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a strong vasoconstrictor, and its receptors, ETA and ETB, in the COH model and assessed the effects of Lycium barbarum on the ET-1 axis. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) was induced in the right eye of SD rats using argon laser photocoagulation. (1) The expression of ET-1, ETA and ETB in normal and COH retinas was studied. (2) Some COH rats were fed daily with Lycium barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP) using 1 mg/kg or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 3 weeks (started 1 week before photocoagulation). The effects of LBP on the expression of ET-1 and its receptors, ETA and ETB, in COH retina were evaluated. A semi-quantitative analysis of staining intensity was used to evaluate the expression levels of ET-1, ETA and ETB in retinal vasculature. We found that (1) Under COH condition, the immunoreactivity of ET-1 was increased in retina associated with an increase of ETB receptor immunoreactivity and a decrease of ETA receptor immunoreactivity. (2) After feeding COH rats with LBP, the expression of ET-1 was decreased with an increase of ETA expression and a decrease of ETB expression in the retina, especially in RGCs. (3) By comparing the staining intensity in the vasculature of COH retina in LBP-fed group with PBS-fed group, there was a decrease in the expression of ET-1 and ETA and an increase in ETB. In summary, ET-1 expression was up-regulated in the retina in COH model. LBP could decrease the expression of ET-1 and modulate the expression of its receptors, ETA and ETB, under the condition of COH. The neuroprotective effect of LBP on RGCs might be related to its ability to regulate the ET-1-mediated biological effects on RGCs and retinal vasculature. | Xue-Song Mi Kin Chiu Geoffrey Van Justin Wai Chung Leung Amy Cheuk Yin Lo SookjaKim Chung Raymond Chuen-Chung Chang Kwok-Fai So | 2012 | Neural Regeneration Research2012,7,9: | 14 |
| 2 | Clinical factors affecting rejection rates in liver transplantation显示文摘BACKGROUND: With improvements in survival, liver transplant recipients now suffer more morbidity from long-term immunosuppression. Considerations were given to develop individualized immunosuppression based on their risk of rejection. METHOD: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 788 liver transplants performed during the period from October 1991 to December 2011 to study the relationship between acute cellular rejection(ACR) and various clinical factors. RESULTS: Multivariate analysis showed that older age(P=0.04,OR=0.982), chronic hepatitis B virus infection(P=0.005, OR=0.574), living donor liver transplantation(P=0.02, OR=0.648) and use of interleukin-2 receptor antagonist on induction(P<0.001, OR=0.401) were associated with fewer ACRs. Patients with fulminant liver failure(P=0.004, OR=4.05) were more likely to develop moderate to severe grade ACR. CONCLUSIONS: Liver transplant recipients with older age,chronic hepatitis B virus infection, living donor liver transplantation and use of interleukin-2 receptor antagonist on induction have fewer ACR. Patients transplanted for fulminant liver failure are at higher risk of moderate to severe grade ACR.These results provide theoretical framework for developing individualized immunosuppression. | Kin Pan Au See-Ching Chan Kenneth Siu-Ho Chok William Wei Sharr Wing-Chiu Dai Sui-Ling Sin Tiffany Cho-Lam Wong Chung-Mau Lo | 2015 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2015,14,4: | 3 |
| 3 | Initial experience with stereotactic body radiotherapy for intrahepatic hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation显示文摘BACKGROUND Graft hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)recurrence after liver transplant is more frequently encountered.Graft hepatectomy is technically challenging and is associated with high morbidity.Stereotactic body radiation therapy(SBRT)has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of primary HCC.However,its role in HCC recurrence in a liver graft remains unclear.AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of SBRT for the treatment of graft HCC recurrence after liver transplantation.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted.From 2012 to 2018,6 patients with intrahepatic HCC recurrence after liver transplant were treated with SBRT at Queen Mary Hospital,the University of Hong Kong.The primary outcome was time to overall disease progression and secondary outcomes were time to local progression and best local response,as assessed with the Modified response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumours criteria.Patients were monitored for treatment related toxicities and graft dysfunction.RESULTS A total of 9 treatment courses were given for 13 tumours.The median tumour size was 2.3 cm(range 0.7-3.6 cm).Two(22%)patients had inferior vena cava tumour thrombus.The best local treatment response was:5(55%)complete response,1(11%)partial response and 3(33%)stable disease.After a median follow up duration of 15.5 mo,no local progression or mortality was yet observed.The median time to overall disease progression was 6.5 mo.There were 6 regional progression in the liver graft(67%)and 2 distant progression in the lung(22%).There was no grade 3 or above toxicity and there was no graft dysfunction after SBRT.CONCLUSION SBRT appears to be safe in this context.Regional progression is the mode of failure. | Kin Pan Au Chi Leung Chiang Albert Chi Yan Chan Tan To Cheung Chung Mau Lo Kenneth Siu Ho Chok | 2020 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2020,8,13: | 3 |

| 5 | Retrohepatic vena cava deroofing in living donor liver transplantation for caudate hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘The removal of tumor together with the native liver in living donor liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma is challenged by a very close resection margin if the tumor abuts the inferior vena cava.This is in contrast to typical deceased donor liver transplantation where the entire retrohepatic inferior vena cava is included in total hepatectomy.Here we report a case of deroofing the retrohepatic vena cava in living donor liver transplantation for caudate hepatocellular carcinoma.In order to ensure clear resection margins,the anterior portion of the inferior vena cava was included.The right liver graft was inset into a Dacron vascular graft on the back table and the composite graft was then implanted to the recipient inferior vena cava.Using this technique,we observed the no-touch technique in tumor removal,hence minimizing the chance of positive resection margin as well as the chance of shedding of tumor cells during manipulation in operation. | See Ching Chan William W Sharr Tan To Cheung Albert CY Chan Simon HY Tsang Kenneth SH Chok Kin Chung Leung Chung Mau Lo | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,5: | 2 |

| 18 | Partial portal vein arterialization using right gastroepiploic artery:A novel solution for portal hypoperfusion显示文摘To the Editor:Establishing dual arterial and portal inflow is essential for liver transplantation[1].Inadequate portal inflow compromises graft function and graft survival[2].Portal hypoperfusion is usually a consequence of spontaneous portosystemic shunt,ligation of which results in improvement of portal inflow[3].We encountered a patient with portal hypoperfusion,where no significant shunting could be identified.Portal inflow was boosted with incorporating arterial supply using right gastroepiploic artery.The early results were promising.A 39-year-old man with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis underwent deceased-donor liver transplantation in June 2017. | Kin Pan Au Kenneth Siu Ho Chok Sui Ling Sin James Yan Yue Fung Chung Mau Lo Vivian Way Kay Mok | 2018 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2018,17,4: | 1 |
