Analysis of factors affecting recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation with a special focus on inflammation markers.

abstract：:Leflunomide is a compound recently shown to reduce T and B cell-mediated responses in a number of experimental rat, mouse, and human systems. To explore its potential as an immunosuppressant, we studied leflunomide in 128 Brown-Norway/Lewis cardiac transplants and in 48 unoperated Lewis rats. At doses ranging from 0.6...
