Transplantation of Chimeric Cells of Myoblast and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Origin for Restoration of Muscle Function.
University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago
Background: Allogeneic stem cell therapies aim to restore muscle tissue after traumatic loss or muscular dystrophies. Limited engraftment due to rejection is a major challenge.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Update of a Placebo-Controlled Trial of C1 Esterase Inhibitor for Prevention of Antibody Mediated Rejection (ABMR) in Highly-HLA Sensitized Patients.
Kidney Transplant, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, LA, CA
INTRODUCTION: Desensitization (DES) strategies focus primarily on antibody reduction using IVIG, rituximab ± PLEX to prevent DSA-induced ABMR and rebound B-cell activity. Pathologic features of…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of the Donor Risk Index on Tumor Free Survival in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
In this study, we look at the impact of donor quality on tumor free survival in patients undergoing liver transplant (LT) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)…2017 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Local Recurrence Rates Between Endhole vs Anti-Reflux Catheters in Patients Undergoing DEB-TACE for Solitary LR-5 HCC Tumors.
PurposeTo compare local recurrence rates (LRR), tumor response rates, and dose delivered between standard endhole catheters (EC) versus anti-reflux catheters (AR) in patients who underwent…2017 American Transplant Congress
KDPI Obscures Trends in Absolute Donor Risk.
Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, Minneapolis, MN
The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) is commonly used to measure deceased donor kidney quality based on the kidney donor risk index (KDRI) (Rao, et…2017 American Transplant Congress
Correlation of Donor Clinical and Histopathological Characteristics with Graft Function in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: There is lack of consensus in the perceived accuracy of frozen biopsy interpretation. Interobserver variability in assessment of pre-implantation biopsies limits its value to…2017 American Transplant Congress
Validation of a Novel Computational Approach for Predicting HLA Immunogenicity Based on Quantification of Structural and Surface Electrostatic Potential Differences Between Donor and Recipient HLA.
Background: Our preliminary work indicates that donor HLA immunogenicity in kidney and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be predicted by comparative assessment of donor and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Mycophenolic Acid Needs Ca2+ to Exert Its Anti-inflammatory Action via Shedding of Toll-Like Receptor4 and Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1.
Background Mycophenolic acid (MPA) has been used for many years to prevent transplantation rejection. Recently, it has been investigated for its anti-inflammatory effects. MPA can…2017 American Transplant Congress
Nox4 and Oxidative Stress Mediate TGF-β1 Induced Human Kidney Proximal Cell Apoptosis in Ischemic Reperfusion Injury.
AimsIschemia/reperfusion injury, resulting from hypoxic damage within a graft, is the leading cause of cell death and graft rejection. In this study, we investigated whether…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Feared Five Fungal Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients: 20-Year Experience at a Midwestern Center.
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are increasing in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Here we present our experience with five feared IFIs in KTR transplanted between 01/01/1994…
