Signaling through tumor necrosis factor receptor type 1 (TNFR–1) using a pathway that
involves nuclear factor κB (NF–κB), interleukin–6 (IL–6), and STAT3 is required for the initiation …

We used KO mice lacking either TNF receptor 1 (TNFR‐1) or receptor 2 (TNFR‐2) to determine
whether signaling at the start of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) involves …

Liver regeneration after two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PH) is a process in which quiescent,
fully differentiated hepatocytes rapidly reenter the cell cycle and eventually divide until the …

Background/Purpose: The purpose of this analysis was to investigate outcomes in newborns
with esophageal atresia (EA) or tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) with respect to prognostic …

BACKGROUND: The ideal assessment of technical skills should be defensible and practical.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of a Global Rating Scale (GRS) …

Although growth factor effects have been studied in cultured hepatocytes, little information
exists as to whether these factors can trigger hepatocyte replication in vivo. In this study we …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Gastrostomy tube insertion is frequently performed in children.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) insertion, considered by many to be the “gold …

Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) expression is associated with hepatocyte DNA
replication both in vivo and in culture. Our previous work using TGF-alpha transgenic mice …

Transforming growth factor‐α and hepatocyte growth factor are important stimulators of
hepatocyte proliferation. In this series of experiments we sought to measure the expression of …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Little is known about the quality of life (QOL) of children with
Hirschsprung's disease (HD) as they grow older. The purpose of this study was to measure the …
