Answers

6) a

According to Bismuth Strasberg classification of liver injuries:

TypeA - Bile leak from a minor duct still in continuity with CBD like  cystic duct, liver bed

Type B  - Occlusion of a part of biliary tree like injury to aberrant right  hepatic duct.

Type C - Injury from bile duct not in communication with CBD

Type D - Lateral injury to extrahepatic ducts; CBD, CHD, right or left hepatic ducts

Type E - Circumferential injury to major bile ducts

7)b

The anterior superior (VIII) and ant inferior (V) ducts join to form right anterior bile duct. The post superior (VII) and post inferior (VI) unite as right post duct. These two join medially to form the Right Hepatic duct

IN 28% cases these two dont merge and join the Left hepatic duct separately

On the left the superior lateral (II) and inferior Lateral (III) merge as lateral duct

Segment IV forms the medial duct. The lateral and medial unite to form the left hepatic duct

Segment I drains into both

8) A

see previous answer

9) C

10)d
The allograft rejection after transplantation is  against a group of cell surface molecules known as  human leukocyte antigen (HLA). HLAs display antigenic peptides to T- lymphocytes


HLA classs I present only intracellular antigens whereas HLA II present peptides derived from extracellular peptides.

HLA I is present on all nucleate cells

HLA II is present on dendritic cells, macrophages, B lymphocytes

chronic allograft rejection in liver is same  vanishing bile duct syndrome

HCV is more common cause than HBV in Japan in causing Hepatocellular carcinoma. Harrsion 589

. Recently, Nishiguchi and colleagues reported that interferon therapy decreased the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in a small number of patients with chronic active hepatitis C with cirrhosis. Mazzella and coworkers showed that interferon-alpha decreased the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with HCV-related cirrhosis. In contrast, Bruno and associates [30] found that interferon therapy was not an independent risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma in anti-HCV-positive patients with cirrhosis. A European group also did not find a significant benefit of interferon-alpha in preventing hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with compensated type C cirrhosis. Thus, the effect of interferon treatment on the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with HCV-related cirrhosis is controversial. (http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/129/2/94).

multicentric is more common in HCV infection (1: J Hepatol. 2005 Feb;42(2):225-9.

12.b
Hepatic blood flow 20% of cardiac output
Hepatic artery 20% of liver bld , 80% of oxygen
30% of hepatic blood flow
exercise decreases splanchnic and hepatic flow

13. d

CBD stores bile after cholecystectomy
