Obstruction predicts worse long-term outcomes in stage III colon cancer: A secondary analysis of the N0147 trial.

abstract：:To clarify the physiopathologic mechanism leading to a marked increase in aromatic amino acids (AAA) in acute hepatic failure (AHF), we compared two experimental models of AHF. Ten pigs were submitted to one-stage hepatic devascularization (group A); in eight other pigs total hepatectomy was performed (group B). The a...
