Optimization of the dosing regimen of mycophenolate mofetil in pediatric liver transplant recipients
Caroline Barau, Aurélie Barrail‐Tran, Bogdan Hemerziu, Dalila Habes, Anne‐Marie Taburet, Dominique Debray, Valérie Furlan – 21 June 2011 – Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is now commonly used in pediatric liver transplant recipients, but no clear recommendations about the dosing regimen have been made for this population. The aim of this study was to determine the MMF dosage required for pediatric liver transplant recipients to achieve an area under the plasma concentration–time curve from 0 to 12 hours (AUC0‐12) for mycophenolic acid (MPA) greater than 30 mg hour/L.

Model for end‐stage liver disease exceptions in the context of the french model for end‐stage liver disease score–based liver allocation system
Claire Francoz, Jacques Belghiti, Denis Castaing, Olivier Chazouillères, Jean‐Charles Duclos‐Vallée, Christophe Duvoux, Jan Lerut, Yves‐Patrice Le Treut, Richard Moreau, Ameet Mandot, Georges Pageaux, Didier Samuel, Dominique Thabut, Dominique Valla, François Durand – 21 June 2011 – Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score–based allocation systems have been adopted by most countries in Europe and North America. Indeed, the MELD score is a robust marker of early mortality for patients with cirrhosis.
Can positron emission tomography with the dual tracers [11C]acetate and [18F]fludeoxyglucose predict microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma?
Tan To Cheung, See Ching Chan, Chi Lai Ho, Kenneth Siu Ho Chok, Albert Chi Yan Chan, William Wei Sharr, Kelvin Kwok Chai Ng, Ronnie Tung Ping Poon, Chung Mau Lo, Sheung Tat Fan – 17 June 2011 – Microvascular invasion is a poor prognostic indicator of the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after surgical treatment. Positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]fludeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) as a tracer has been employed to predict the prognosis before surgery for various kinds of tumors, but it has not been found to be sensitive enough for HCC.
