Branch patch reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation: arterialization of grafts with replaced type arteries.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Some statins have been reported to suppress the immune system and increase the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 gene that plays a pivotal role in bone regeneration. METHODS:The effects of cerivastatin on skeletal reconstruction by vascularized bone allograft were investigated in a rat tibia-fibula...
