Objective: To observe the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on postangioplasty aortic restenosis in rats.
Methods: 48 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, balloon injury group, balloon injury and MSCs transplantation group. MSCs were pre-labeled by DAPI (25 microg/ml) and then infused into aorta through the balloon catheter (MSCs 2 x 10(6)/animal). Thoracic aorta were taken for histological examination (frozen and paraffin sections) at 1, 2, 6 weeks post angioplasty, respectively. DAPI labeled MSCs were detected under immunofluorescence microscopy. Expressions of c-kit, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), smooth muscle alpha-actin (alpha-SMA) in aorta were determined by immunocytochemistry using related antibodies.
Results: The DAPI-labeled MSCs could be detected on impaired intimae and alpha-SMA expression was seen in these cells 1 weeks after MSCs transplantation. Similar weak c-kit expression in neointima was found in both injury and transplantation group at 2 weeks (P > 0.05). Expressions of PCNA and alpha-SMA in the neointima were significantly higher in transplantation group than in injury group at 2 weeks. Intima/tunica media area ratio and luminal stenosis ratio were significantly increased in transplantation group than injury group at 6 weeks (all P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Bone marrow MSCs transplanted post aortic angioplasty could home to serious wounded aortic intima, differentiate into smooth muscle like cells, promote neointima cellular proliferation and aggravate postangioplasty aortic restenosis in rats.

Emodin induced hepatic steatosis in BALb/c mice by modulating the gut microbiota composition and fatty acid metabolism.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to examine the physiological effects of emodin on intestinal microorganisms and the liver in the BALb/c mice.
Method And Results: Following an 8-week administration of emodin at doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg/day,pathological analyses revealed that emodin significantly reduced the colon length, induced colonic crypt inflammation,diminished the colonic mucus layer,and decreased the fluorescence intensity of colonic tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin. Concurrently, 16S rDNA gene sequencing corroborated that emodin altered the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota by increasing the to ratio.
Relevance of perioperative fluid dynamics in liver transplantation to acute kidney injury and patient outcomes: a cross-sectional survey.
J Pharm Policy Pract

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Background: Fluid administration is a critical component of perioperative management for liver transplant recipients, and excessive fluid infusion can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) and poor patient outcomes.
Method: We conducted a cross-sectional survey on the fluid intake and output of adult liver transplant recipients over a 7-day period. The patients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups.
Absence of Viral Replication Is Associated With Improved Outcome in Anti-HCV-Positive Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Liver Int
February 2025
Italian Liver Cancer (ITA.LI.CA) Association, Bologna, Italy.
Background And Aims: Presence of active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may influence the outcome of patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although this issue has never been adequately assessed in a large series of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of active HCV affects the survival of patients treated for HCC.
Methods: This study assessed the outcome of 3123 anti-HCV-positive patients with HCC, subdivided according to the presence of active HCV infection or previous sustained virological response (SVR).
Real-world cost-effectiveness analysis of thymoglobulin versus no induction therapy in kidney transplant recipients at low risk of graft loss.

Background: A new induction therapy strategy of a single 3 mg/kg dose of rabbit antithymocyte globulin (r-ATG) showed a lower incidence of acute rejection.
Methods: The objective of this study was to use real-world data to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of r-ATG induction for the prevention of acute rejection (AR) in the first year following kidney transplantation and for kidney graft survival over 1, 4, and 10 years of post-transplantation from the perspective of the national public healthcare system. A Markov state transition model was developed utilizing real-world data extracted from medical invoices from a single center.

Department of Oncology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Survivors of childhood cancer (CCS) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients are at increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated malignancies. Although HPV vaccination is recommended for these groups, parental acceptance remains uncertain.
Procedure: We recruited caregivers of female CCS/HSCT aged ≥9 years from the Shanghai Children's Medical Center (SCMC) vaccination clinic.
