The incidence and risks factors for AKI after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) have not been fully studied.
We look at the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who have received cisplatin during CRS-HIPEC in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from an ovarian primary, and identify possible peri-operative risk factors.
The protective activity of Twist-1 seemingly halts PCD independently of interference with cytotoxic JNK, p53, and p19(ARF) signaling, suggesting that it mediates a novel protective mechanism activated by NF-kappaB.
