Usability of ringed polytetrafluoroethylene grafts for middle hepatic vein reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation
Shin Hwang, Dong‐Hwan Jung, Tae‐Yong Ha, Chul‐Soo Ahn, Deok‐Bog Moon, Ki‐Hun Kim, Gi‐Won Song, Gil‐Chun Park, Sung‐Won Jung, Sam‐Youl Yoon, Jung‐Man Namgoong, Chun‐Soo Park, Yo‐Han Park, Hyeong‐Woo Park, Hyo‐Jun Lee, Sung‐Gyu Lee – 18 April 2012 – Large vein allografts are suitable for middle hepatic vein (MHV) reconstruction, but their supply is often limited. Although polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts are unlimitedly available, their long‐term patency is relatively poor.
Two immunogenic passenger dendritic cell subsets in the rat liver have distinct trafficking patterns and radiosensitivities
Bin Yu, Hisashi Ueta, Yusuke Kitazawa, Toshiya Tanaka, Kensuke Adachi, Hiromitsu Kimura, Miwa Morita, Yasushi Sawanobori, Hai Xin Qian, Tatsuhiko Kodama, Kenjiro Matsuno – 18 April 2012 – The aim of this study was to investigate the trafficking patterns, radiation sensitivities, and functions of conventional dendritic cell (DC) subsets in the rat liver in an allotransplantation setting. We examined DCs in the liver, hepatic lymph, and graft tissues and recipient secondary lymphoid organs after liver transplantation from rats treated or untreated by sublethal irradiation.

Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound diagnosis of splenic artery steal syndrome after orthotopic liver transplantation
Xian‐Sheng Zhu, Yun‐Hua Gao, Sha‐Sha Wang, Qi Cheng, Yin Ling, Li Fan, Feng Huo, Miao‐Shui Pu, Peng Li – 18 April 2012 – The aim of this study was to investigate the use of contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the detection of splenic artery steal syndrome (SASS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Two hundred forty‐seven patients underwent OLT. Blood tests and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) were performed at various time points after the operation. CEUS and celiac angiography were used for patients suspected of having SASS.
