Prostaglandins have a broad spectrum of action. They are potent vasodilators, mediators of the inflammatory response, and have been found to decrease both humoral and cellular immune responses. Specifically in the liver, prostaglandins of the E series have been shown experimentally to have immunolog

## AND SOLKO W. SCHALM~ We studied the size of the liver graft and the host liver in six consecutive patients undergoing auxiliary heterotopic liver transplantation for chronic endstage liver disease. In all cases, a liver reduced in size by left lateral hepatectomy was inserted. The sizes of the
Auxiliary liver transplantation (ALT) permits the serial assessment of regeneration in livers of patients with acute liver failure (ALF). Forty-nine ALF patients [32 adults (median age, 23 years; range, 16-40 years) and 17 children (median age, 12 years; range, 1-15 years)] underwent ALT between 199
The majority of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) die waiting for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). No other treatment modality is shown to improve survival. This study was conducted to assess the safety and feasibility of hepatocyte transplantation (HT) and subsequent engraftment and fu
We report our results with orthotopic liver transplantation in children with fulminant liver failure. Thirty-five children with fulminant liver failure were evaluated for liver transplantation. The main causes of liver failure were viral hepatitis (54.2%), drug-induced liver injury (14.2%) and Wilso
In living donor liver transplantation, the safety of the donor operation is the highest priority. The introduction of the right lobe graft was late because of concerns about donor safety. We investigated donor liver regeneration by the types of resected segments as well as recipients to assess that
