Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Contributes to Cardiac Allograft Rejection and Vasculopathy
The chronic allograft rejection, i.e. transplant vasculopathy (TV), is a major limiting factor in the long-term success of cardiac transplantation. In the present study, we…2013 American Transplant Congress
Kidney-Induced Cardiac Allograft Tolerance across a Full MHC-Barrier in Miniature Swine
We have previously demonstrated that a kidney allograft has the ability to confer tolerance on a co-transplanted heart allograft procured from a class I-mismatched donor.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Heat Shock Protein 90 Is Involved in Antibody-Mediated Rejection and Is a Potential Target of Anti-Rejection Therapy in Kidney Transplantation
Purpose: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone that is associated with the correct activation of client proteins. Important roles of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Probability of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation Based on PRA%
Sensitization to HLA antigens creates an obstacle for the accessibility and success of kidney transplantation (KT). Highly sensitized patients have longer waiting times and some…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of Immunoglobulin (Ig)-G Subclasses and C1q in De Novo HLA DQ DSA Kidney Transplant Outcomes, The
Background. Anti-HLA DQ antibodies are the predominant HLA class II donor-specific- antibodies (DSAs) after transplantation. Recently, de novo DQ DSA has been associated with worse…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of IV Acetaminophen (APAP) in Reducing Narcotic Use in Live Donor Nephrectomy, The
INTRODUCTION: The proliferation of live donor kidney transplant is due in part to the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques. The introduction of robotics to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Paired Kidney Analysis of Delayed Graft Function: Recipient Risk Factors for and Role in Graft Survival, A
Nephrology Unit, CH Porto, Porto, Portugal
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication of kidney transplantation related with both donor and recipient. Through a donor-paired kidney analysis we aimed to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Should National Policymakers Augment Marginal Liver Transplants: A Population Game Approach
Purpose: Federal mandates have increased the availability of marginal livers for transplant despite worse outcomes. Yet the impact of augmenting marginal liver transplantation from the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Vascularization Improvement and Rejection Protection in Rat Islet Transplantation by Endothelial Cells Coating and Sertoli Cells Coculture
First Affiliated Hospital, Medical College, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China
Backbrounds.Improving islet graft revascularization and inhibiting rejection become crucial tasks for prolonging islet graft survival. Endothelial cells (ECs) are the basis of islet vascularization and…2013 American Transplant Congress
Cost-Effectiveness of Hand-Assisted Retroperitoneoscopic Versus Standard Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: A Randomized Study
Background: Live kidney donation has a clear economical benefit over cadaveric transplantation and dialysis. When compared with mini-incision open donor nephrectomy, laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN)…
