T. Peter Kingham, Umer I. Chaudhry, George Plitas, Steven C. Katz, Jesse Raab, Ronald P. DeMatteo – 26 January 2007 – The liver has unique immunological properties. Although dendritic cells (DCs) are central mediators of immune regulation, little is known about liver DCs. Plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) are a recently identified subtype of murine liver DC. We sought to define the function of freshly isolated murine liver pDCs.

Claus U. Niemann, John Feiner, Matthias Behrends, Helge Eilers, Nancy L. Ascher, John P. Roberts – 26 January 2007 – Low central venous pressure (CVP) has been advocated during liver resection to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements. As a consequence, CVP catheter placement has been considered essential for hepatic surgery, including living donor hepatectomies. We retrospectively analyzed whether intraoperative management without CVP monitoring influenced fluid administration, blood loss, and patient outcome.
