Background: Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) protects against disseminated intravascular coagulopathy by inhibiting coagulation, inflammation, and apoptosis. This study tests the hypothesis that rTM is hepatoprotective after extensive hepatectomy (Hx) and investigates the mechanisms underlying this effect.
Materials And Methods: Experiment 1: rats (15 per group) were injected with rTM (1.
Background And Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of liver resection for multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (MNHCC).
Patients And Methods: A total of 399 patients who underwent R0 resection for HCC from 1992 to 2011 were subjected to analysis. Out of these 399 patients, 107 patients had multinodular HCC, while 292 had a single tumor.
