Does addition of direct peritoneal lavage to human cadaver organ donor resuscitation improve organ procurement?
Direct peritoneal resuscitation reduced IV fluid requirement and IV pressor use as well as increased hepatic blood flow and organs transplanted per donor. Direct peritoneal resuscitation studies show it to be a safe, effective method to augment organ donor resuscitation and additional large-scale trials should be conducted to validate these findings.
Collectively these data unveil that FBXL19 functions as an antagonist of Rac3 by regulating its stability and regulates the TGFβ1-induced E-cadherin down-regulation. This study will provide a new potential therapeutic strategy to regulate TGFβ1 signaling, thus suppressing esophageal tumorigenesis.
