L‐Ornithine L‐Aspartate for the Treatment of Sarcopenia in Chronic Liver Disease: The Taming of a Vicious Cycle

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Sarcopenia is a common complication of cirrhosis with a negative impact on posttransplant outcome, health‐related quality of life (HRQOL), and patient survival. Studies in experimental animals and in patients demonstrate that ammonia is directly implicated in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia in cirrhosis via mechanisms involving increased expression of ...

Low Total Dose of Anti‐Human T‐Lymphocyte Globulin (ATG) Guarantees a Good Glomerular Filtration Rate after Liver Transplant in Recipients with Pretransplant Renal Dysfunction

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low doses of anti‐T‐lymphocyte globulin (ATG)‐based immunosuppression in preserving renal function and preventing liver rejection in liver transplant (LT) recipients with pretransplant renal dysfunction. We designed a prospective single‐center cohort study analyzing patients with pre‐LT renal dysfunction ...

Establishment of a Novel Simplified Surgical Model of Acute Liver Failure in the Cynomolgus Monkey

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Models using large animals that are suitable for studying artificial liver support system (ALSS) are urgently needed. Presently available acute liver failure (ALF) models mainly involve pigs or dogs. Establishment of current surgical ALF models (hepatectomy/devascularization) requires either very good surgical skills or multistep processes—even ...

Mesenchymal Stromal Cell‐Derived Factors Promote Tissue Repair in a Small‐for‐Size Ischemic Liver Model but Do Not Protect against Early Effects of Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Loss of liver mass and ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) are major contributors to postresectional liver failure and small‐for‐size syndrome. Mesenchymal stromal cell‐ (MSC‐) secreted factors are described to stimulate regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Association between Portal Vein Thrombosis and Survival in Non‐Liver‐Transplant Patients with Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Gastroenterology Research and Practice, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
A systematic review of the literature was performed to analyze the association between portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and survival in non‐liver‐transplant patients with liver cirrhosis. PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for all relevant papers which evaluated the prognostic value of PVT in predicting the survival of liver ...

The eck fistula in animals and humans [PDF]

, 1983
In all species so far studied, including man, portacaval shunt causes the same changes in liver morphology, including hepatocyte atrophy, fatty infiltration, deglycogenation, depletion and disorganization of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and its ...

Management of gastroesophageal varices in cirrhotic patients: current status and future directions

Annals of Hepatology, 2016
Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices (GEV) is a serious event in cirrhotic patients and can cause death. According to the explosion theory, progressive portal hypertension is the primary mechanism underlying variceal bleeding.
