Does the expression of transporter OATP2/OATP8 decrease in undetectable hepatocellular carcinoma by Gd-EOB-MRI in the explanted cirrhotic liver?
The detectability of Gd-EOB-MRI is almost equal to MDCT in a cirrhotic liver. Small HCCs were difficult to detect even with Gd-EOB-MRI. The transporter of OATP2/OATP8 was less expressed in the preoperatively undetectable HCCs.
Recipient intramuscular naked plasmid cotransfection of transforming growth factor beta(1) and interleukin 10 provides a synergistic effect in ameliorating lung reperfusion injury after prolonged ischemia.
