Sinusoidal endothelial cell repopulation following ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat liver transplantation.
UNLABELLED We evaluated the kinetics by which rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are repopulated in the reperfused transplanted liver after 18 hours of cold ischemic storage. We found that the majority of LSECs in livers cold-stored for 18 hours in University of Wisconsin solution are seriously compromised and often are retracted before transplantation. Sinusoids rapidly re-endothel...
متن کاملRecurrence of fatty liver disease following liver transplantation for NAFLD-related cirrhosis: Current status and challenges
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as a major health problem worldwide. NAFLD is a continuum of disease ranging from mild liver steatosis to severe steatohepatitis, which will ultimately lead to end-stage liver disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. This disorder is considered as a silent liver disease. The metabolic syndrome and its components are accounted as the ...
متن کاملHepatocyte Transplantation: Cell Sheet Technology for Liver Cell Transplantation
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We will review the recent developments of cell sheet technology as a feasible tissue engineering approach. Specifically, we will focus on the technological advancement for engineering functional liver tissue using cell sheet technology, and the associated therapeutic effect of cell sheets for liver diseases, highlighting hemophilia. RECENT FINDINGS Cell-based therapies using...
متن کاملPancreatitis following liver transplantation.
Since 1981, when the liver transplantation program was initiated at the University of Pittsburgh, we have been impressed with the prevalence of pancreatitis occurring following liver transplantation in patients transplanted for hepatitis B-related liver disease. To either confirm this clinical impression or refute it, the records of the 27 HbsAg+ patients and those of an additional 24 HbsAg- bu...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus myocarditis following liver transplantation.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are commonly found in patients on immunosuppressive therapy following liver transplantation. However, acute myocarditis is an extremely rare manifestation of CMV infection in this setting. We report the case of a patient who developed acute myocarditis with severe biventricular failure with a cardiac ejection fraction of less than 10%, 6 weeks following orthotop...
