These results indicated that ONO-1714 improved the survival rates and attenuated I/R injury in a critical hepatic warm I/R model of the pig. ONO-1714 will be beneficial for hepatectomy or liver transplantation in the clinical field.

A major mode of cell death during hepatic warm I/R injury was necrosis, and apoptosis was not dominant. These necrotic changes were caused by the excess production of peroxynitrite, and ONO-1714 greatly attenuated I/R injuries as the result of inhibition of the peroxynitrite production.

The prognosis of stage IV malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) has been extremely poor. However, a combination of ICE (ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide) and VDCy (vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide) was recently reported to be effective for metastatic MRTK. We describe a 21-month-old girl with stage IV MRTK who was successfully treated with ICE, VDCy, and radiotherapy. She remained well, without recurrence, 24 months after diagnosis. Alternating therapy with ICE and VDCy might become a standard regimen for stage IV MRTK, although further study is required to confirm its effectiveness.
