Auxiliary liver transplantation for acute liver failure
Byers W. Shaw – 1 May 1995
Alterations in bile ducts and peribiliary microcirculation in rats after common bile duct ligation
Shu Nakano, Joji Haratake, Hiroshi Hashimoto – 1 May 1995 – The chronological changes in ductular epithelium and peribiliary capillary plexuses (PBPs) after bile duct ligation are not well understood. Therefore, we examined alterations in both intrahepatic bile ductules and peribiliary microcirculation in rats after ligation of the common bile duct using immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopes (TEM), and scanning electron microscopes (SEM).
Expression of CD44 in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines
Makoto Haramaki, Hirohisa Yano, Kazunori Fukuda, Seiya Momosaki, Sachiko Ogasawara, Masamichi Kojiro – 1 May 1995 – CD44 is a glycosylated cell surface adhesion molecule expressed on a diverse range of cells and has several variant forms, some of which are involved in metastasis of cancer cells.

Role of cytoskeleton and acidification of endocytic compartment in asialoglycoprotein metabolism in isolated rat hepatocyte couplets
Masaru Harada, Shotaro Sakisaka, Masao Yoshitake, Masahito Ohishi, Satoshi Itano, Satoshi Shakado, Yoshihiro Mimura, Kazunori Noguchi, Michio Sata, Hiroshi Yoshida, Kyuichi Tanikawa – 1 May 1995 – The process of receptor‐mediated endocytosis is common to a variety of species and cell types. One of the best characterized receptor‐ligand systems is the hepatocyte receptor for asialoglycoproteins. We investigated the morphological features of the uptake and intracellular transport of gold‐conjugated asialofetuin in isolated rat hepatocyte couplets.
Overview: Biliary reconstruction after liver transplantation

Acute liver failure and transplantation: A symposium
William M. Lee, Willis C. Maddrey – 1 May 1995
Evaluation of extracorporeal bioartificial liver devices
Robin D. Hughes, Roger Williams – 1 May 1995 – The initial clinical studies on artificial liver support were performed at King's College Hospital, London during the late 1970s. Initially using charcoal haemoperfusion, and subsequently resin haemoperfusion, and these studies culminated in a controlled clinical trial of charcoal haemoperfusion in which overall survival was high, but no statistically significant benefit was found.
The prevalence and spectrum of colonic lesions in patients with cirrhotic and noncirrhotic portal hypertension
Siddarth Ganguly, Shiv K. Sarin, Vivek Bhatia, Deepak Lahoti – 1 May 1995 – Portal hypertension diffusely affects the gastrointestinal tract. The frequency and profile of distinct colonic mucosal lesions (portal colopathy) and rectal varices (RV; veins >4 cm above the anal verge) is not well studied. Fifty consecutive patients with portal hypertension (25 with cirrhosis, 10 with noncirrhotic portal fibrosis [NCPF], and 15 with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction [EHPVO]) were assessed clinically and by upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy.
