Jie Wang, Hyoung‐Won Koh, Lu Zhou, Ui‐Jin Bae, Hwa‐Suk Lee, In Hyuk Bang, Sun‐O Ka, Seon‐Hee Oh, Eun Ju Bae, Byung‐Hyun Park – 17 August 2016 – Sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) is known to negatively regulate anoxia‐reoxygenation injury in myoblasts. Because protein levels of Sirt2 are increased in ischemia‐reperfusion (I/R)‐injured liver tissues, we examined whether Sirt2 is protective or detrimental against hepatic I/R injury. We overexpressed Sirt2 in the liver of C57BL/6 mice using a Sirt2 adenovirus.

Hee Ho Chu, Nam‐Joon Yi, Hyo‐Cheol Kim, Kwang‐Woong Lee, Kyung‐Suk Suh, Hwan Jun Jae, Jin Wook Chung – 12 August 2016 – The purpose of this study was to evaluate the longterm outcomes of stent placement for a hepatic venous outflow obstruction in adult liver transplantation recipients. From June 2002 to March 2014, 23 patients were confirmed to have a hepatic venous outflow obstruction after liver transplantation (18 of 789 living donors [2.3%] and 5 of 449 deceased donors [1.1%]) at our institute.

In addition, rejection rates were found to be lower in LDLT, which is attributed to the fact that LDLT is usually performed between relatives.

From January 2000 to June 2014, 1149 patients underwent LDLT procedures. Thirty patients with LDLT using a right lobe graft with multiple HA stumps and 149 patients with LDLT using a right lobe graft with a single HA stump were enrolled.
