Complementary role of vitamin D deficiency and the interleukin‐28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism in predicting antiviral response in chronic hepatitis C
Davide Bitetto, Giovanna Fattovich, Carlo Fabris, Elisa Ceriani, Edmondo Falleti, Ezio Fornasiere, Michela Pasino, Donatella Ieluzzi, Annarosa Cussigh, Sara Cmet, Mario Pirisi, Pierluigi Toniutto – 19 January 2011 – The widely accepted interleukin‐28B (IL‐28B) rs12979860 C/T polymorphism and the more recently proposed vitamin D serum concentration are two novel predictors of the response to antiviral treatment in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in remote ischemic preconditioning of the mouse liver
Mahmoud Abu‐Amara, Shi Yu Yang, Alberto Quaglia, Peter Rowley, Barry Fuller, Alexander Seifalian, Brian Davidson – 19 January 2011 – Hindlimb remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in wild‐type mice. The underlying mechanisms of RIPC are currently unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in mediating the protective effects of RIPC.
Assessment of a chloride‐poor versus a chloride‐containing version of a modified histidine‐tryptophan‐ketoglutarate solution in a rat liver transplantation model
Christian D. Fingas, Shengli Wu, Yanli Gu, Jeremias Wohlschlaeger, André Scherag, Uta Dahmen, Andreas Paul, Herbert de Groot, Ursula Rauen – 19 January 2011 – Recent in vitro studies of cold‐induced cell injury have revealed the detrimental effects of extracellular chloride on cold‐stored isolated rat hepatocytes; however, its influence on endothelial cells is beneficial.
Graft rotation and late portal vein complications in pediatric living donor liver transplantation using left‐sided grafts: Long‐term computed tomography observations
Suk‐Bae Moon, Ju‐Ik Moon, Choon‐Hyuk David Kwon, Sung‐Joo Kim, Jeong‐Meen Seo, Jae‐Won Joh, Suk‐Koo Lee – 14 January 2011 – Right‐side rotation of the graft is an uncommon event after pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with a left‐sided graft. However, graft rotation might lead to gradual portal vein (PV) stretching and late portal vein complications (PVCs). The goal of this study was to quantify the degree of graft rotation (R) by computed tomography (CT) and to determine the effect of graft rotation on the development of late PVCs.
