Myeloid HO-1 Regulates M2 Macrophage Activation in Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI).
Background/Aim: Although anti-inflammatory macrophage differentiation (M2) from pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype is critical for heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) cytoprotection, the role of cell type-specific HO-1 induction remains…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Liver Ischemia Triggers Necrotic Depletion of TIM4+ Kupffer Cells to Facilitate Tissue Inflammatory Immune Activation in Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
Although mechanisms of immune activation against liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) have been studied extensively, questions regarding liver resident Kupffer cells vs. infiltrating macrophages (iM[Oslash]s) remain…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Value of Renal Transplant Scintigraphy for the Duration of Delayed Graft Function.
Background: Renal scintigraphy (RS) is a widely used test for the assessment of the transplanted kidney (KTX). As RS cannot reliably distinguish between rejection and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Treatment of Post-Transplant Nephrotic Syndrome with Adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) Gel.
1Medstar Georgetown Transplant Institute, Washington DC; 2Indiana University Health, Indianapolis

Patency of Autologous Portal Vein “Y“ Graft in Anterior Sector Outflow Reconstruction in Adult Living Donor Right Lobe Grafts.
Anetrior sector outflow reconstruction is followed by most centers performing right lobe liver transplantation. Recanalised umbilical vein, cryopreserved cadaveric veins/ arteries, PTFE and Recipient's portal…2017 American Transplant Congress
Felodipine Diminishes Decline in Glomerular Filtration Rate in Lung Transplanted Patients Treated with Cyclosporine: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial.
Background. Calcium channel blockers may ameliorate the decline in renal function caused by calcineurin inhibitors in lung transplant (LTX) recipients. We previously demonstrated a 47…2017 American Transplant Congress
C4d Immunohistochemistry in Lung Allograft Interstitial Capillaries Lacks Linear Correlation with Donor Specific Antibodies, yet It Is Still Diagnostically Relevant.
Antibody mediated rejection in lung allograft biopsies is not well defined from a morphologic or immunohistochemical aspect. Many centers routinely run immunohistochemistry for C4d as…
