Cited in Scopus: 6Ischemia and reperfusion injury to the liver remains an important clinical problem during liver transplantation and the protection of myocardial function is critical for patients suffering liver transplantation. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of tacrolimus on injured myocardium and mitochondria after total hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (THIR). - Transplantation/Immunology

Cited in Scopus: 15There are few studies that focus on the important organs injuries induced by total hepatic ischemia and reperfusion (THIR), which is a key to save the lives of hepatic surgery patients. We evaluated changes in the hydrogen sulphide production system and injuries to the heart and kidney. The aim of this study was to assess whether sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS) has protective effects against THIR injury.
