Intention‐to‐treat survival analysis of hepatitis C virus/human immunodeficiency virus coinfected liver transplant: Is it the waiting list?

Juan J. Araiz, M. Trinidad Serrano, Francisco A. García‐Gil, Elena M. Lacruz, Sara Lorente, José I. Sánchez, Miguel A. Suarez – 26 April 2016 – In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfected patients, the accelerated severity of liver disease, associated comorbidities, and mortality on the waiting list could change the possibility and results of liver transplantation (LT). Intention‐to‐treat survival analysis (ITTA) can accurately estimate the applicability and efficacy of LT.

Cell‐specific overactivation of nuclear erythroid 2 p45‐related factor 2–mediated gene expression in myeloid cells decreases hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury

Lung‐Yi Lee, Calvin Harberg, Kristina A. Matkowskyj, Shelly Cook, Drew Roenneburg, Sabine Werner, Delinda A. Johnson, Jeffrey A. Johnson, David P. Foley – 26 April 2016 – Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable consequence of liver transplantation that can lead to postoperative hepatic dysfunction. Myeloid cells that include Kupffer cells, monocytes, and neutrophils contribute to the inflammatory response and cellular injury observed during hepatic IRI.
