Publications
The role of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, intestinal permeability, endotoxaemia, and tumour necrosis factor alpha in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitisA J Wigg
Department of Gastroenterology, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Gut 48:206-11. 2001..Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth may contribute to the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, perhaps by increasing intestinal permeability and promoting the absorption of endotoxin or other enteric bacterial products...
Assessment of cell concentration and viability of isolated hepatocytes using flow cytometryAlan J Wigg
Department of Medical Biochemistry, Flinders University, Bedford Park, South Australia 5042, Australia
Anal Biochem 317:19-25. 2003..The techniques are simple, rapid, and more accurate than manual cell counting and trypan blue staining and the results are not affected by protein-containing media...
Maintenance of integrity and function of isolated hepatocytes during extended suspension culture at 25 degrees CAlan J Wigg
Departments of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Flinders Medical Centre, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia
Liver Int 23:201-11. 2003..These observations demonstrate the robust nature of mildly hypothermic isolated hepatocytes in suspension and encourage further studies re-examining the feasibility of using this cell preparation in bioartificial livers...
Outcomes following liver transplantation for seronegative acute liver failure: experience during a 12-year period with more than 100 patientsAlan J Wigg
Liver Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, UK
Liver Transpl 11:27-34. 2005..In conclusion, we found that donor and recipient factors identify patients who have a high chance of early death after transplantation...
Liver support systems: promise and realityAlan J Wigg
South Australian Liver Transplantation Unit, Flinders Medical Center, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
J Gastroenterol Hepatol 20:1807-16. 2005....
Chronic kidney disease following liver transplantation: a South Australian experienceJ Ramachandran
South Australian Liver Transplant Unit, Flinders Medical Centre, Adelaide, Australia
Transplant Proc 42:3644-6. 2010..Mild and moderate CKD are common post-OLT. The development of severe CKD, which can be predicted early in the post-OLT period, is strongly associated with an increased mortality rate...
Inhibition of oxidative stress and apoptosis enables extended maintenance of integrity and function of isolated hepatocytes in suspensionAlan J Wigg
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, South Australia, Australia
J Gastroenterol Hepatol 24:1082-8. 2009..However, maintenance of isolated hepatocyte suspensions in conventional media leads to rapid loss of cell integrity. The aim of this study was to develop a modified medium to better maintain hepatocyte integrity...
Current controversies surrounding liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinomaMauricio F Silva
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia
J Gastroenterol Hepatol 25:1217-26. 2010..In the interim transplant clinicians must restrict the use of these therapies to those patients who are most likely to benefit from them...
