Evolution of attitudes at U.S. transplant centers toward kidney donation by friends and altruistic strangers.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation protects organ by reducing inflammation and cell death during transplantation processes in animal model. However, using CO in clinical transplantation is difficult due to its delivery in a controlled manner. A manganese-containing CO releasing molecules (CORM)-401 has recently...
