Using Ultrasound Elastography to Predict Which Pediatric HSCT Patients Will Develop Severe Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome

Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy

Drug-induced liver injury presents with extremely diverse histologic patterns, including necroinflammatory, cholestatic, steatotic and vascular patterns. Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), also referred to as toxic sinusoidal injury, veno-occlusive disease or “blue liver syndrome”, is a commonly recognized vascular pattern of drug-induced liver injury, and has been frequently associated wit...

Regorafenib suppresses sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in rats.

BACKGROUND Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), a form of drug-induced liver injury related to oxaliplatin treatment, is associated with postoperative morbidity after hepatectomy. This study aimed to examine the impact of regorafenib, the first small-molecule kinase inhibitor to show efficacy against metastatic colorectal cancer, on a rat model of SOS. METHODS Rats with monocrotaline (MCT)-...
