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
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 ...

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.

Surgical complications in human orthotopic liver transplantation. [PDF]
Between March 1, 1980 and December 31, 1984, 393 orthotopic liver transplantations (OLT) were performed in 313 consecutive recipients. Technical complications were responsible for a substantial morbidity (41/393 allograft loss--10.4%) and mortality (26 ...

Small‐for‐size liver transplanted into larger recipient: A model of hepatic regeneration [PDF]
Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in 60 recipient rats weighing 200 to 250 gm. Sixty rats of the same strain were used as liver donors, 30 weighing 100 to 140 gm (small for size) and the other 30 weighing 200 to 250 gm (same size).

A multiple catheter technique for studies or hepatic metabolism and blood flow in dogs with portacaval transposition [PDF]
A technique is described for in vivo hepatic metabolic studies, employing a multiple catheterization technique in dogs with chronic portacaval transposition. The animals are studied in the unanesthetized state immediately after the insertion of catheters
