Efficient nonarterialized mouse liver transplantation using 3‐dimensional–printed instruments

Graziano Oldani, Stéphanie Lacotte, Lorenzo A. Orci, Vaihere Delaune, Florence Slits, Quentin Gex, Philippe Morel, Laura Rubbia‐Brandt, Christian Toso – 12 September 2016 – Because of the wide availability of genetically modified animals, mouse orthotopic liver transplantation is often preferred over rat liver transplantation. We present a simplified mouse liver transplantation technique and compare transplantation outcomes with versus without hepatic artery anastomosis. Instruments for liver implantation were designed and printed with a 3‐dimensional (3D) printer.

Comparison of acute kidney injury between ABO‐compatible and ABO‐incompatible living donor liver transplantation: A propensity matching analysis

In‐Gu Jun, Byungdoo Lee, Seon‐Ok Kim, Won‐Jung Shin, Ji‐Youn Bang, Jun‐Gol Song, Gi‐Won Song, Sung‐Gyu Lee, Gyu‐Sam Hwang – 6 September 2016 – The anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab has significantly decreased the prevalence of antibody‐mediated rejection of ABO‐incompatible (ABOi) living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, little is known about acute kidney injury (AKI) following ABOi LDLT. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of AKI in ABOi LDLT and compare it with that of ABO‐compatible (ABOc) LDLT.
