TL;DR: New recommendations for complement component 4d tissue staining and interpretation, staging liver allograft fibrosis, and findings related to immunosuppression minimization are included.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional regulation of human inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) gene by cytokines: initial analysis of the human NOS2 promoter.
M. E. de Vera,Richard A. Shapiro,Andreas K. Nussler,John S. Mudgett,Richard L. Simmons,Sidney M. Morris,Timothy R. Billiar,David A. Geller +7 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the human NOS2 gene is transcriptionally regulated by cytokines and identify multiple cytokine-responsive regions in the 5' flanking region of thehuman NOS1 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liver Transplantation Using Donation After Cardiac Death Donors: Long-Term Follow-Up from a Single Center
M. E. de Vera,R Lopez-Solis,Igor Dvorchik,S Campos,W Morris,Anthony J. Demetris,Paulo Fontes,J. W. Marsh +7 more
TL;DR: There was a lack of survival benefit in DCD livers utilized in patients with model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) ≤30 or those not on organ‐perfusion support, as graft survival was significantly lower compared to DBD patients, however, DCD and DBD subjects transplanted with MELD >30 or on organ-perfusions support had similar graft survival, suggesting a potentially greater benefit of DCDLivers in critically ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of liver transplant patients coinfected with HIV and HCV is adversely impacted by recurrent hepatitis C.

TL;DR: Recurrent HCV in 18 patients was associated with eight deaths, including three from fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis, and of 15 patients treated with interferon‐α/ribavirin, six (40%) are HCV RNA negative, including four with sustained virological response.
Journal Article
A central role for IL-1 beta in the in vitro and in vivo regulation of hepatic inducible nitric oxide synthase. IL-1 beta induces hepatic nitric oxide synthesis.
David A. Geller,M. E. de Vera,D A Russell,Richard A. Shapiro,Andreas K. Nussler,Simmons Rl,Timothy R. Billiar +6 more
TL;DR: Rats injected with both LPS and IL-1ra showed decreased hepatic iNOS mRNA and plasma NO2- + NO3- compared with rats given LPS alone, indicating thatIL-1 beta plays a role in regulating iN OS expression within the liver in vivo during endotoxemia.
