Small Split Pediatric Kidneys to Expand the Donor Pool: An Analysis of Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) Data.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vascular complications remain an important cause of postoperative morbidity in liver transplant patients. Herein, we present an unusual case of nonanastomotic inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis in a patient with a "piggyback" caval anastomosis. METHODS:A 59-year-old woman underwent liver transplantation usin...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) uses different strategies to escape from human host defense reactions. Previously we have observed that infection of endothelial cells with CMV in vitro leads to enhanced activity of endothelial ectonucleotidases. These ectoenzymes are responsible for hydrolysis of extracellular a...
