Objective The authors evaluate the results of cryosurgery in malignant liver tumors. Summary Background Data outcome primary or secondary tumors is poor when resection can not be achieved. Encouraging have been reported unresectable tumors, but this treatment needs further evaluation its efficacy homogeneous groups patients. Methods From 63 patients with various histology treated by a 2.5-year period, evaluated 34 nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (9 patients) metastases from colorectal...
Protocol endoscopy with biopsy is currently the gold standard of small bowel transplantation (SBTx) monitoring, however it invasive, costly, needs skilled operator, may require anesthesia and cause complications. We investigated fecal calprotectin level (FCL) as a candidate noninvasive marker for monitoring patients after SBTx.A pilot study was performed to test use FCL measurement in following up SBTx patients. Ileostomy effluents were collected at various postoperative days before biopsy....
Transplantation of more than two livers for recurring graft failure has not been specifically addressed in the literature.A retrospective analysis was conducted from a total 2527 overall liver transplants at our institution. Main indications multiple retransplant included primary nonfunction, chronic rejection, hepatic artery thrombosis, and recurrent disease.We identified 39 patients who received grafts (32 3 grafts, 5 4 2 grafts). All required interposition arterial aorta hepatojejunostomy...
Very small pediatric donors are underutilized for pancreas and kidney transplantation the fear of inadequate islet mass higher incidence technical complications, lower age limit such is not well defined. We present here two cases combined en bloc from very (14 18 months old) to adult type 1 diabetic uremic patients. The conventional surgical procedure simultaneous with systemic venous bladder exocrine drainage was successfully applied organs. For both, we utilized recently described patch...
Transplant tolerance would remove the need for maintenance immunosuppression while improving survival and quality of life.A prospective, randomized pilot study was undertaken to assess safety efficacy donor stem cell infusion (DSCI) in living-related kidney transplant recipients treated with alemtuzumab (C1H) induction tacrolimus mycophenolate switch sirolimus weaning over 2 years.Four patients received DSCI; five were controls. Graft failure occurred two DSCI arm. Recurrence glomerular...
To determine the smoking prevalence and its determinants in students at Cukurova University, Southern Turkey.The sample was selected from first final year of all faculties University. The who were present on day survey included study. filled an anonymous questionnaire detailing their sociodemographic characteristics behaviour A random 2200 University enrolled study representing a total 8309 for this cross-sectional response rate 90.9% (n = 2131). self-administered completed by students....

Clin Transplant 2010: 24: 801–806. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: Background: (BKVN) was reported in up to 7.5% of patients transplantation (SPK). Its management by reduction immunosuppression might pre‐dispose pancreatic graft loss. Methods: A retrospective analysis 178 SPK recipients performed. All received thymoglobulin,...
As part of the vascular access procedures, venous ports, commonly referred to as catheters, are placed under skin enable safe and easy for administration repeated drug treatments. 122 patients who had received a port catheter insertion procedure in general surgery department between January 1012 2014 were involved this study. Patients divided into two groups: those undergone fluoroscopy (group 1) not 2). Complications that emerged during after successful rates recorded database. Data these...
Background. The administration of donor specific bone marrow (DSBM) to mice conditioned with antilymphocyte serum (ALS) and sirolimus can result in stable multilineage mixed chimerism long-term graft survival. This study seeks determine if either the targeted depletion CD4 and/or CD8 pos T cells or costimulation blockade substitute for ALS preserve efficacy this regimen. Methods. C57BL/6 recipients BALB/c skin allografts were treated DSBM (150× 106 cells), (24 mg/kg intraperitonealy),...
The infusion of donor bone marrow (BM) into mice conditioned with antilymphocyte serum (ALS) and sirolimus (Sir) prolongs skin allograft survival produces chimerism. This study identifies the BM cell(s) responsible for this effect determines whether enrichment these cells will improve efficacy.Skin grafts from BALB/C were transplanted C57BL/6 or C57BL/10 recipients by using ALS, Sir, (or fractions). was fractionated immunomagnetic beads. Flow cytometry used phenotyping detecting...
Preclinical testing of a mixed chimerism mediated organ transplant tolerance strategy, in cynomolgus macaque model, would be facilitated by the establishment reliable technique for quantitative assessment chimerism. Among various techniques used measurement humans, microsatellite DNA profiling has been considered most versatile one that can discriminate between two individuals. We adopted commercially available short tandem repeat methodology to monkeys using human specific alleles, TPOX and...
Primary solitary tuberculous involvement of the liver is a rare condition. We present case patient who was operated on with preoperative diagnosis hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver resection performed and antituberculous therapy started. It difficult to make correct preoperatively except when successful needle biopsy can be performed. Despite rarity condition primary tuberculosis should considered among space occupying lesions liver.
