Serum Stabilized Naked Caspase-3 siRNA Protects Transplant Kidneys in a Porcine Auto-Transplantation Model
Background: Caspase-3 associated with apoptosis and inflammation plays a key role in ischemia reperfusion injury. The naked caspase-3 siRNA was effective in the cold preservation…2013 American Transplant Congress
Novel MyD88 Inhibitor Induced Robust Tolerance in Both Cardiac and Skin Transplantation in Mice, A
Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play essential role in the allograft rejection and tolerance induction. The signal transfer of TLRs, except TLR3, depends either entirely or…2013 American Transplant Congress
Strong Protection Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by MyD88 Inhibitor in Mice
Objectives: TLR signaling plays important role in renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). MyD88 is the key adapter molecule in TLR pathway. This study try to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Determination of Ethyl Glucuronide in Hair for Detection of Alcohol Consumption in Patients after Liver Transplantation
Harmful alcohol consumption after OLT is reported in 11-26% of patients and has a negative impact on long-term outcome. Determination of alcohol marker may help…2013 American Transplant Congress
Cordycepin Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation by the Suppression of the MAPK-IκB-NF-κB Pathways in DCs
Background: Dendritic cells(DCs)are professional APC playing key roles in capturing, processing and presenting antigens as the most potent professional antigen presenting cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is…2013 American Transplant Congress
Reduction in New Onset Diabetes after Renal Transplant with Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents, a Case Control Study
Background: New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) adversely affects graft and patient survival. Approximately 10-15 % of post-renal transplant patients require an erythropoietin stimulating agent…2013 American Transplant Congress
