Tacrolimus trough level at discharge predicts acute rejection in moderately sensitized renal transplant recipients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We report long-term outcomes and side effects after transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using de novo, sirolimus-based immunosuppression (IS). METHODS:A total of 70 patients with HCC (mean age: 54.4+/-7 years, female/male: 12/58) were transplanted and included in the study. Immunosuppression ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recent insights suggest that endothelial cell (EC) activation plays a major role in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Interactions between ECs and pericytes via signaling molecules, including angiopoietins, are involved in maintenance of the vascular integrity. Experimental data have shown that enhanc...
