Effect of ischemia on the canine large bowel: A comparison with the small intestine [PDF]

, 1996
Mucosal injury caused by ischemia and reperfusion has been well documented with the small intestine, but little is known about the colon. In the present study, the effect of warm and cold ischemia on the canine colon was studied and compared to that on ...

Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18: A New Generation Radioprotector Protecting Human Erythrocytes Against Multiple Biochemical Damage Modes Upon Gamma Irradiation, Identifying It as a Scavenger of Short‐ and Long‐Lived Radicals

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18 demonstrates strong radioprotective properties as a scavenger of both short‐ and long‐lived radicals. The study reveals protection of human erythrocytes from γ‐radiation–induced biochemical damage via post‐irradiation removal of primary and secondary reactive oxidants, supported by pulse radiolysis kinetics.

Donor metabolic characteristics drive effects of faecal microbiota transplantation on recipient insulin sensitivity, energy expenditure and intestinal transit time

Gut, 2019
Objective Bariatric surgery improves glucose metabolism. Recent data suggest that faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using faeces from postbariatric surgery diet-induced obese mice in germ-free mice improves glucose metabolism and intestinal ...

Protective effect of probiotics on the healing of colon anastomosis after ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats [PDF]

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2017
Introduction: Intestinal transplantation (IT) is one of the important cause of intestinal ischemia and reperfusion injury. It is well known that anastomotic problems seen after IT are mainly related to reperfusion injury.

The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]

, 1990
Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

Frailty in liver transplantation: An expert opinion statement from the American Society of Transplantation Liver and Intestinal Community of Practice

American Journal of Transplantation, 2019
Frailty has emerged as a powerful predictor of outcomes in patients with cirrhosis and has inevitably made its way into decision making within liver transplantation. In an effort to harmonize integration of the concept of frailty among transplant centers,

Direct percutaneous embolization of intestinal lymphatic trunk for chylous ascites management following liver transplant

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Chylous ascites can be caused by infection, trauma, malignancy, or maybe a complication after major abdominal surgery including liver transplantation. We present a case of a patient who developed chylous ascites following his liver transplantation.

Development of a Synthetic 3D Platform for Compartmentalized Kidney In Vitro Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A fully synthetic, compartmentalized 3D kidney disease model is introduced. The kidney model combines a PEG‐based hydrogel matrix with anisotropic, enzymatically degradable rod‐shaped microgels to spatially arrange a triple co‐culture of key renal epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast cells.
