Prediction of Intraoperative Circulatory Risk Based on Preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients Undergoing Living Donor Liver Transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Galectins are a family of soluble lectins expressed in a variety of tissues, which play many important regulatory roles in inflammation, immunity, and cancer. The up-regulation of galectin-3 in hypertrophied hearts and the development of fibrosis have been shown in experimental studies. Increased galectin-3 ...
