Management of cytomegalovirus infection after liver transplantation.

C ytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous herpes virus that, together with human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7, belongs to the β-herpesvirus family. Like other herpes viruses, CMV establishes lifelong latent infections. Infection with CMV is common in all populations, but is infrequently associated with symptomatic illness in healthy hosts. However, CMV is a major cause of morbidity and mor...

The diversity of Ochrobactrum anthropi, Ochrobactrum intermedium, Ochrobac- trum tritici and Ochrobactrum grignonense in agricultural soil and on the wheat

The diversity of Ochrobactrum anthropi, Ochrobactrum intermedium, Ochrobactrum tritici and Ochrobactrum grignonense in agricultural soil and on the wheat rhizoplane was investigated. O. anthropi was isolated both from soil and from the rhizoplane, O. intermedium and grignonense only from bulk soil, and O. tritici only from the wheat rhizoplane. On the genetic level, the immunotrapped isolates a...

Liver Biopsy After Liver Transplantation

Liver regeneration after liver transplantation.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury or resection. The aim of this review is to outline the mechanisms and factors affecting liver regeneration after liver transplantation. METHODS Relevant studies were reviewed using Medline, PubMed and Springer databases. RESULTS A variety of cytokines (such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α), growth...
