Rats were given 10 or 20 mg of inosine dissolved in 1 ml of 0.9% saline, or a control solution of 1 ml of 0.9% saline, intravenously 10 or 20 min before induction of left renal warm ischemia for 60 min. Further groups of rats were treated with 20 mg inosine or with saline alone 20 min before longer periods of warm ischeamia of 90 and 120 min duration. All animals had immediate contralateral nephrectomy. In all inosine-treated groups the mean plasma creatinine was lower than in their respective control groups and these differences were statistically highly significant.

Nevertheless, these hearts are more susceptible to myocardial edema and decision of accepting the organ can be a challenge for the heart transplant team. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic criteria are used routinely, but there is still a lack of strong evidence that supports the decision-making in particular situations.

Background: We aimed to investigate the outcome of patients after RDN at different time points.

Methods: We studied the outcomes of 77 living robotic living donor nephrectomies (RDN). Donors were separated into three groups: learning curve period (LCP), stabilisation period (SP), and teaching period (TP).

Objective: To assess the efficacy of renal score grading in guiding therapy decisions, predicting perioperative outcomes, and characterising tumours following partial nephrectomy.

Methods: The retrospective, single-centre study was conducted at the University College Hospital Galway, Ireland, and comprised data from January 11, 2012, to June 17, 2016, of all patients aged >18 years who underwent partial nephrectomy as part of treatment for kidney cancer. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.

Arsenic trioxide preconditioning attenuates hepatic ischemia- reperfusion injury in mice: Role of ERK/AKT and autophagy.

Chin Med J (Engl)

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Hepatosplenic Surgery, Ministry of Education, Department of Minimal Invasive Hepatic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang 150001, China.

Background: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is indicated as a broad-spectrum medicine for a variety of diseases, including cancer and cardiac disease. While the role of ATO in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) has not been reported. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the effects of ATO on HIRI.
