Does hypertonic saline resuscitation prevent hydrostatically induced intestinal edema and ileus?
Hypertonic saline prevented intestinal tissue edema. In addition, hypertonic saline improved intestinal transit, possibly through more efficient transmission of muscle force through stiffer intestinal tissue.
These data suggest that B-K fusion confers a less aggressive clinical phenotype on PLGA and may explain their tendency to growth arrest. Combined analysis of B-K fusion and γH2AX expression can determine prognosis and may be a powerful tool to tailor therapy for these patients.
