Background: The utility of adjuvant chemotherapy after resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) in patients with rapid recurrence after adjuvant chemotherapy for their primary tumor is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncologic benefit of adjuvant hepatic arterial plus systemic...
Cirrhosis of the liver (end-stage liver disease):Cirrhosis is a late stage of liver disease. Scarring of the liver and loss of functioning liver cells cause the liver to fail. Significant amounts of liver cells need to be damaged before the whole organ fails to function. What are the sig...
Hepatitis B viral infection and advanced liver damage at the start of treatment were associated with poor prognosis (P P = 0.64).ConclusionThe introduction of high-dose CS in the early stage of ALF was effective in suppressing the destruction of hepatocytes. CS-treated patients showed ...
Liver tissue engineering: Recent advances in the development of a bio-artificial liver Orthotopic liver transplantation is the most common treatment for patients with end-stage liver failure. However, liver transplantation is greatly limited ... JS Lee,SW Cho - 《Biotechnology & Bioprocess Engineering...
Therefore, early detection might be a valuable approach to detect the disease at an earlier, asymptomatic and potentially curable stage. Screening evaluated in relatively small trials failed to show benefit if periodical chest X-ray and/or sputum cytology were used; screening by these techniques is...
The poor clinical conditions associated with end-stage cirrhosis, pre-existing pulmonary abnormalities, and high comorbidity rates in patients with high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores are all well-recognized factors that increase the risk of pulmonary complications after orthotopic liver transpla...
Genetic gain of Al tolerance and contribution of agronomic traits on Al tolerance in the early stage of sorghum breeding program 英国对美国的战时宣传是二战期间英美关系中的重要事件.英国对美国的战时宣传在赢得美国的舆论支持,使美国的对外政策挣脱"孤立主义"的枷锁,促进美国参战都起到了很大的... Anas Zub...
Late-stage DM hearts are also characterized by downregulation of HIF-1α (Fig.6). HIF-1α is a master transcription factor that confers cardioprotection by triggering the activation of specific downstream genes21. Stabilization of HIF-1α by inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase or by treatment with ...
1, development of the liver can first be easily identified morphologically around the 14–20 somite stage as an outgrowing bud of proliferating endodermal cells present in the ventral floor of the foregut (LeDouarin, 1975). At this early stage the bud is separated from the surrounding septum ...
2 Not all deaths in patients with HCC are tumor-related; apart from leading to the development of cancer, progression of cirrhosis leading to end-stage liver failure is an important cause of mortality. On first consideration, liver transplantation (LT) seems the most rational treatment for HCC,...
