Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to play an important role in cell migration during cancer invasion by degrading extracellular matrix proteins. This study aimed determine the of MMP-9 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) carcinogenesis. Eighty-nine cases who underwent liver transplantation for HCC cirrhotic were selected this study. The tumor characteristics such as nodule number, maximal diameter, portal vein invasion, and preoperative alpha-fetoprotein levels reviewed. intensity...
Abstract Peri-hepatic packing procedure, which is the basic damage control technique for treatment of hepatic hemorrhage, one cornerstones surgical strategy abdominal trauma. The purpose this study was to evaluate efficacy perihepatic procedure by comparing outcomes appropriately and inappropriately performed interventions. Trauma patients with liver injury were retrospectively evaluated. who had undergone adequate classified as Group A, inappropriate packing, B. Over a five-year period,...
Treatment of post-transplantation recurrence hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection despite prophylaxis with immunoglobulin (HBIG) and lamivudine combination therapy is not easy. Because HBV reinfection has a severe course could result in graft failure liver transplant recipients, prompt medication essential. Herein reported the authors' experience adefovir dipivoxil (AD) 11 recipients who had administration HBIG.Two-hundred nine patients underwent transplantation (100 deceased donor...
BackgroundTacrolimus has been associated with recurrence of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) after liver transplantation (LT), which in turn may reduce survival. This study aimed to assess the relation between type calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) and long-term outcomes following LT patients PBC.MethodsSurvival analyses were used association immunosuppressive drugs graft or patient survival among adult PBC dataset European Liver Transplant Registry. Patients who received a donation brain death...
Acute liver failure (ALF) carries a high mortality unless urgent orthotopic transplantation (OLT) is performed on time. Live donors are utilized to treat this irreversible condition first in pediatric cases and then adults. Herein, we aimed report our experience with live for ALF country of deceased donor organ donation rate only 1.5 per million people.Among the 245 transplantations (LDLT) from June 1999 December 2005, 14 them (6%) were 8 6 adult cases. Right lobes harvested whereas left...
Toxoplasmosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease in liver transplant recipients while they are immunosuppressed. We report the clinical laboratory findings related to active toxoplasma infection associated with 40 immunosuppressed procedures that took place over 12-month period at major unit Izmir, Turkey. Twenty-seven (67.5%) of were found be seropositive for therefore risk reactivated infection. From serological status donors, which was ascertained 38 cases, we...
Objective . To evaluate liver anatomy with a view to access unerring surgery in donors. Summary Background Data Liver transplantation, the unique curative treatment option for end-stage hepatic failure, has become routinely practicable, which was inconceivable past. But, vascular and biliary of not been completely disclosed yet. Methods From 1994 2009, we have done research on 496 The data were accumulated categorized according most widely used classification systems. Results Of donors, 393...
Abstract: ALF is characterized by sudden onset, impaired liver function, jaundice and encephalopathy, without previous disease. We analyzed the patients who underwent LT due to toxic agent induced raise community awareness about preventing ALF. Five children (three boys, two girls) ingestion. Toxic agents were mushroom poisoning (n = 2), Datura stramonium 1), yellow phosphorous 1) INH 1). On admission, one patient had stage IV, III II hepatic encephalopathy but worsened during follow‐up. One...
Lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage accounts for approximately 20% of hemorrhage. The most common causes lower in adults are diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel benign anorectal diseases, intestinal neoplasias, coagulopathies and arterio-venous malformations. Hemangiomas tract rare. Mesenteric hemangiomas also extremely rare.We present a 25-year-old female who was admitted to the emergency room with recurrent bleeding. An intraluminal bleeding mass inside small segment detected during...
Abstract Renal cell carcinoma extended to the right atrium was operated by using cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Hypothermic arrest provides bloodless surgical field for tumor thrombus removal adequate visceral brain protection. The technique that we used in a patient reported light of literature.
The hepatic venous reconstruction is one of the corner stones pediatric LDLT. However, problems associated with outflow still remain to be an issue. In this study, we aimed at comparing two methods used in reconstruction. Between November 1999 and December 2006, 61 consecutive left lateral segment LDLT were performed Ege University Organ Transplant Center, for former group (group 1: 32 patients) continuous anastomosis was between donor LHV common orifice recipient HV. later 2: 29 patients),...
We analyzed infections that occurred within one month prior to LT, identified factors associated with their occurrence and effect of on post-transplant mortality. The study group included 40 consecutive children who underwent LT. Sites types infection culture results were recorded prospectively. IID was assessed. Risk for the infectious events analyzed. Forty episodes found in 24 patients (60%); 90% bacterial, 7.5% fungal, 2.5% viral. Overall, 38.2 per 1000 patient days. bacterial urinary...
A 29-year-old male patient with the diagnosis of end-stage liver disease due to Budd-Chiari syndrome was referred our hospital for transplantation. The had been diagnosed 4 years earlier and initially managed anticoagulant therapy diuretics. Later, he developed disease, withdrawn. He admitted massive ascites, jaundice, fatigue complaints, his Child Model End-Stage Liver Disease scores were 12 23, respectively. workup etiology syndrome, including bone marrow biopsy, autoantibodies, mutations...
