Livers cold preserved during variable periods of ischemia suffer functional, morphological and hemodynamic alteration, which are exacerbated when they are reperfused. One important injury is glycogen depletion during cold ischemia/ reperfusion. How liver can restore their energy during reperfusion is related with the preservation time, nutritional status of the donor, and the preservation solut...

We read with interest the correspondence from Bai et al and the response from Pan et al regarding ‘A longitudinal study of the association between infrapatellar fat pad maximal area and changes in knee symptoms and structure in older adults’. Both correspondents raise valid points, but we would like to highlight further evidence concerning the effect of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) preserva...

Glutamine, a conditionally essential amino acid, is consumed predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract as a source of energy, particularly under the conditions of trauma, sepsis and surgery. In this article, we discuss the unique role of glutamine in the preservation of epithelial barrier function in the gastrointestinal tract. Glutamine supplementation protects the gastrointestinal mucosal h...
