A prospective study investigating the cost effectiveness of intraoperative blood salvage during liver transplantation.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:We investigated the putative candidate biomarkers of graft rejection in peripheral blood of intestinal transplant patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Peripheral blood gene expression analysis was performed in intestinal transplant patients. The results were matched with concurrent graft biopsies using bioinfo...
