Visceral Adiposity Is Associated with Increased Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Following Liver Transplantation.
Abdominal Transplant, Columbia University, Ny, NY.
IntroductionObesity has become a worldwide epidemic. The number of patients with HCC undergoing Orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) is rising. Epidemiologic evidence suggests a link between…2016 American Transplant Congress
Survival Benefit of DCD Livers.
Liver transplantation benefits registrants with MELD≥18. However, this benefit no doubt varies by donor characteristics, and the benefit of DCD livers remains unclear.Methods: We used…2016 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Organ Donor Management: Does Hospital Volume Matter?
Purpose: Despite the association between hospital volume and outcomes for various diseases, there have been no studies to assess the impact of hospital organ donor…2016 American Transplant Congress
Viral Gastroenteritis in Adult and Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) Patients.
BACKGROUND. Diarrhea in SOT recipients is common and often attributed to immunosuppressive drug side effects. However, enteric viruses are important causes of acute gastroenteritis and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Human MicroRNA Responses Are Predictive of CMV Reactivation Following Solid Organ Transplant.
Background: Human microRNA (miRNA) can suppress gene expression through binding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the target mRNA. In silico analysis shows that,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Direct IL-33 Stimulation of T Regulatory Cells via Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) Is Required for Effective Control of Alloimmune Responses.
Background: IL-33 is a pleotropic cytokine that can protect against cardiac transplant rejection by expanding regulatory T cells (Treg), particularly a Treg subset expressing the…2016 American Transplant Congress
High PD-L1/CD86 MFI Ratio and IL-10 Secretion Characterize Maturation-Resistant Human Regulatory Dendritic Cells (DCregs) Generated for Clinical Testing in Transplantation.
Regulatory dendritic cells (DCregs) have shown considerable potential for safe and effective prolongation of allograft survival in pre-clinical models. In humans, DCregs with purity >84%…2016 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept Does Not Inhibit Plasmablast Formation Supported by Follicular T Helper Cells, but Favors the Development of Transitional Regulatory B Cells in Kidney Transplant Patients.
Since the costimulatory inhibitor belatacept effectively blocks T-B cell interaction in animal transplant models, we studied the functional follicular T helper cells (TFH)-B cell interaction…2016 American Transplant Congress
Rapamycin Nanotherapy Delays Heart Transplant Rejection.
Background:In patients, allograft survival requires a cocktail of immunosuppressive drugs, while experimentally antibodies targeting the innate immune system have been shown to induce long-term tolerance,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prior Infection or Colonization with Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Is Not an Absolute Contraindication for Solid Organ Transplantation.
BackgroundCarbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection is associated with poor outcomes after solid organ transplantation (SOT). The significance of CRE colonization or infection prior to SOT is…
