Background: Surgical strategy to increase the number of liver transplants in the pediatric population is the ex-situ liver transection (reduction or split). However, it is associated with complications such as hemorrhage and leaks. The human fibrinogen and thrombin sponge is useful for improving hemostasis in liver surgery.
Aim: Compare pediatric liver transplants with ex-situ liver transection (reduction or split) with or without the human fibrinogen and thrombin sponge.
Methods: Was performed a prospective analysis of 21 patients submitted to liver transplantation with ex-situ liver transection with the application of the human fibrinogen and thrombin sponge in the wound area (group A) and retrospective analysis of 59 patients without the sponge (group B).
Results: The characteristics of recipients and donors were similar. There were fewer reoperations due to bleeding in the wound area in group A (14.2%) compared to group B (41.7%, p=0.029). There was no difference in relation to the biliary leak (group A: 17.6%, group B: 5.1%, p=0.14).
Conclusion: There was a lower number of reoperations due to bleeding of the wound area of the hepatic graft when the human fibrinogen and thrombin sponge were used.

Background: Cerebrovascular alterations and innate immune activation are key features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanisms that link blood-brain barrier disruption to neurodegeneration are poorly understood and well-defined druggable targets at the neurovascular interface are limited.
Method: By developing a multiomic and genetic loss-of-function pipeline, we reported the transcriptomic and global phosphoproteomic landscape of blood-induced microglia activation and the causal role for fibrin in induction of neurodegenerative genes and oxidative stress pathways in innate immune cells.

Background: Hypertension is a leading risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementia (AD/ADRD), which is closely linked with cerebral vascular inflammation and dysfunction. We previously found that high-salt-treated Dahl Salt-Sensitive (SS) rats displayed blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage, astrocyte activation, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairments. CD14 functions in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) complex to initiate proinflammatory signaling events in response to LPS.

There are inconsistent results pertaining to risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients following urologic surgeries. We attempted to establish a visualization model to shed further light upon this topic. Consequently, a total of 436 patients who were tested for VTE following urologic surgeries were retrospectively enrolled.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that imposes significant complications, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). DPN is characterized by marked inflammation, and the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) is one of the new markers for systemic inflammation, it has been used in various diabetic micro- and macro-vascular complications. The present study investigates the association between FAR and nerve conduction abnormalities in T2DM patients with DPN.
