PGD Synthase and PGD2in Immune Resposne [PDF]
PGD2is formed from arachidonic acid by successive enzyme reactions: oxygenation of arachidonic acid to PGH2, a common precursor of various prostanoids, catalyzed by cyclooxygenase, and isomerization of PGH2to PGD2by PGD synthases (PGDSs). PGD2can be either pro- or anti-inflammatory depending on disease process and etiology.

Donor Right Ventricular Oversizing Is Independently Associated With Severe Primary Graft Dysfunction After Heart Transplantation: A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Predicted heart mass (PHM) is widely used for donor–recipient size matching in heart transplantation, yet its relevance to early graft performance in the modern allocation era remains uncertain. Emerging data suggest that left and right ventricular mismatch may exert distinct physiologic effects that are obscured by total PHM ...
