Peri-Transplant Glycaemic Control as a Predictor of Pancreas Transplant Survival
Introduction: The impact of peri-transplant glycaemic control on outcomes after pancreas transplantation is unknown. Our aims were to relate peri-transplant glycaemic control to survival and…2018 American Transplant Congress
BK Viremia in Simultaneous Kidney Pancreas Recipients: Single Center Experience
Introduction: The impact of BK viremia in recipients of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) is not well known. We therefore studied the incidence and…2018 American Transplant Congress
To Score a Pancreas, Stars Must Be Aligned
Excellent medical care and readily accessible insulin preparations serve to require a very high quality of deceased donor pancreas organs accepted for transplantation. Improving, prevailing…2018 American Transplant Congress
Innovative Strategies to Accommodate Increased Patient Volume in an Outpatient Transplant Infusion Center
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: To accommodate the increasing volume of patients scheduled for infusions at the Comprehensive Transplant Center(CTC) Infusion suite. It began as a two chair unit…2018 American Transplant Congress
Human CD8+CD28– Ts Cells Expanded by Common Gamma Chain (γc) Cytokines Keep Steady Allospecific Suppressive Capacity In Vivo
Background: CD8+CD28- T suppressor (Ts) cells were recently reported to play a critical role in transplant tolerance, harnessing the potential for clinical use in transplantation.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Standard Induction Immunosuppression Interferes with the Role of Vascularized Bone Marrow in Vascularized Composite Allograft Protection
Department of Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Purpose: Clinical induction therapies have been demonstrated to interfere with the development of immunologic tolerance in experimental models. Vascularized bone marrow (VBM) has been demonstrated…2018 American Transplant Congress
In Vitro α-Galactosylceramide Stimulation Expands CD4+CD25+Foxp3− Regulatory T Cell Precursors in Murine Thymocytes
Background: We previously established mixed chimerism after invariant natural killer T-cell stimulation by administration of liposomal α-galactosylceramide (lipo-αGC) and costimulatory blockade, leading to regulatory T…2018 American Transplant Congress
Application of RNA-Seq Derived Diagnostic Algorithms of T-Cell Mediated Kidney Rejection (TCMR) to DNA Microarray-Based Gene Expression Datasets
Recent years have seen the development of DNA microarray based tools for the diagnosis of TCMR using fresh frozen tissue. This study has accomplished the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Assessing the Impact of Flow in Hypothermic Machine Perfusion on Human Venous Endothelium Using a Novel Ex Vivo Model
BACKGROUNDHypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) involves dynamic flow of chilled preservation fluid through an allograft's vasculature. This study describes a simple, reproducible, human model that allows…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Combination of pAMR and Circulating Donor-Specific Antibodies is Even More Associated with Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy after Heart Transplant
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles.
Purpose: Several reports have correlated the development of donor-specific antibody (DSA) to the development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after heart transplantation (HTx). Interestingly, patients…
