Variability in donation after cardiac death protocols: a national survey.

abstract：:The formation of free radicals after orthotopic liver transplantation in the rat correlates with graft failure. Fatty livers from alcoholics transplant poorly, so these studies were designed to examine the effect of alcohol on free radical formation in a rearterialized rat liver transplantation model. Treatment of rat...

abstract：BACKGROUND:The timing of an acute rejection may have a variable impact on renal allograft survival. To determine whether the time of first acute transplant rejection (ATR) is an independent predictor of long-term allograft survival, we studied 31,600 first cadaveric renal transplants that were functional on the first t...
