Liver Reference

Reference limits for copper and iron in liver biopsies.

Using 141 liver biopsy results (103 adults, 38 children) and a rank-order approach, the following reference limits were found: copper 55 microg/g dry weight, iron 1800 microg/g dry weight (adults only), and iron index 1.0. The study was made feasible by the fact that both copper and iron were measured as standard practice in every liver biopsy received for either test. The added analyte tended ...

LIVER TRANSPLANTATION New Approaches in the Use of CycIosporine: With Particular Reference to the Liver

Six weeks ago, Iwatsuki et at2 summarized at a meeting in Pittsburgh the results with our first 1,000 liver recipients in the so-called esA era. Life-survival was compared with that of 170 historical controls in whom treatment was with azathioprine (or cyclophosphamide) and prednisone, usually with antilymphocyte globulin (ALG). The life-survival curve of patients before esA-steroid therapy sho...

Transcriptome Analysis of Spermophilus lateralis and Spermophilus tridecemlineatus Liver Does Not Suggest the Presence of Spermophilus-Liver-Specific Reference Genes

The expressions of reference genes used in gene expression studies are assumed to be stable under most circumstances. However, studies had demonstrated that genes assumed to be stably expressed in a species are not necessarily stably expressed in other organisms. This study aims to evaluate the likelihood of genus-specific reference genes for liver using comparable microarray datasets from Sper...
