To assess the immediate and long‐term effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in deceased donor. liver transplantation (LT), we designed a prospective, randomized controlled trial involving 60 donors: control group (CTL, n = 30) or study (IPC, 30). IPC was induced by 10‐min hiliar clamping immediately before recovery organs. Clinical data blood samples were obtained donor recipient for measurements. significantly improved biochemical markers cell function such as uric acid, hyaluronic acid...
Long-term results of biofeedback for faecal incontinence are controversial. Moreover, its value compared with standard care has been recently questioned. The study aimed to analyse the long-term efficacy therapy formed stool and compare it no treatment.Seventy-nine patients solid were evaluated at baseline 1, 6, 36 60 months after treatment. To treatment, 40 initially but not referred used as controls.More than 80% recovered continence or had a reduction in number episodes greater 75%...
Abstract: The aim of our study was to assess the advantages and disadvantages T‐tube use in liver transplantation, with also paying attention economic costs derived from its use. Patients were prospectively randomized T tube or no tube. One hundred seven patients, 53 54 without tube, analyzed. Minimum follow‐up three months. Nine patients (8.4%) had bile leak: six group (11.3%) (5.5%), p = ns. Four (3.5%) anastomotic biliary stenosis: one (1.8%) Twenty (37.7%) T‐tube‐related complication....
The sequence of the genomic region that contains Adh and Adhr genes Drosophila funebris was used to demonstrate both are present in species group. this reveals a 2.9-kb tandem duplication which encompasses 1.6 kb 5' flanking region, entire gene, two thirds first exon gene D. funebris. This is not fixed since some strains do carry duplication. has also been found another group, macrospina macrospina. analysis 5'-flanking indicates single promoter shows stretches high similarity with...
Abstract The Adh locus of Drosophilidae is organized as a single gene transcribed from two spatially and temporally regulated promoters except in species the repleta group, which have promoter genes. Here we show that Drosophila funebris promoter, both larva adult, with qualitative quantitative specific‐differences tissue distribution. expressed larval fat body but other tissues such gastric caeca, midgut Malpighian tubules its expression reduced compared to most species, adults it almost...
P82 Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IP) is effective in decreasing liver injury, after ischemia/reperfusion the experimental setting. The mechanisms involved beneficial effects of IP are still unknown. Recently, some in-vitro experiments have demonstrated that Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α (HIF-1α), a transcription factor, protects cells against ischemic injury by means regulating genes cell survival, like NOS, VEGF, IGF2,… Aims: To assess on HIF-1α cadaveric transplantation. Methods:...
P550 Introduction: Biliary reconstruction is the most common cause of morbidity associated to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). T-tube use controversial due complications related its use. Objective: Assess complications, and hospital resources used in relatinship placement. Material Methods: Ninety-five transplants were performed from October 2002 November 2003. Eighty-four patients included study, randomized for We have analized 55 patients, with a minimum follow-up at least 3 months...
A179 Introduction: The routine biliary reconstruction for patients who undergo orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). Some articles have suggested the use of a choledocho-choledochostomy (CC) as valid alternative anastomosis. Objectives: To analyze complications rate in undergoing OLT PSC with CC reconstruction. Methods: From 1988 to 2003, 1057 were transplanted our institution, twenty-one them (2 %) due cholangitis. In five...
A153 Introduction: Potencial advantages of LDLT are tempered by the risk injury or death a healthy donor Aim: Report morbidity and mortality after right-lobe liver donation Patient methods: Thirty-nine LDL resections were performed: 18 on 1st period (March 2000 - December 2001) 21 2° (January 2002 -August 2003). One operation was aborted due to untreatable peritonitis in recipient. 27 men 12 women. Mean age 32 ± 8 years. intraoperative blood loss 953.42 817.71 cc (1st period) 507.61 266.33...
A156 Split and living donor liver transplantation in adults have emerged as good alternatives to the increasing shortage. In reduced transplantation, early cholestasis is a frequent clinical problem with confusing etiology prognosis. Aim: The aim of this study was compare incidence series graft recipients one cadaveric whole transplant recipients. Material Methods: From March 2000 December 2003, 40 transplants (RLT) mean body weight ratio (GBWR) 1.11±0.24 were performed our Hospital. RLT...
