In Vitro Characterization of Vertebral Bone Marrow Used for Immunomodulation in Hand Transplantation
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
Purpose: Peri-operative cadaveric donor vertebral body bone marrow (VBBM) infusion has shown promising immunomodulatory effects (graft maintenance on low-dose tacrolimus monotherapy) in clinical trials of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Rates and Outcomes of Renal Transplantation in Children with Intellectual Disability
Background: Limited data exist on renal transplantation in children with intellectual disability (ID). In 2008, UNOS began collecting data on the cognitive and academic level…2013 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Liver Transplant (LT) Proteinuria Is Not an Absolute Indication for Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation (SLK)
Transplantation, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL
LT candidates with proteinuria and renal dysfunction are often considered for SLK. Methods: 39 LT candidates with 24-hr urine protein >150 mg/dl and renal dysfunction…2013 American Transplant Congress
Decadal Analysis of Deceased Organ Donation in Spain and the U.S., Linking Increased Donation Rate and Utilization of Older Donors
After founding the Organizacion Nacional de Trasplantes (ONT), Spanish donation rates from deceased donors rapidly outpaced U.S. growth over the decade between 1989-1999. This analysis…2013 American Transplant Congress
New Method of Flow Cytometry Assay of Antibody Binding to Human Renal Microvascular Endothelial Cells, A
Division of Nephrology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
PURPOSE: We developed a protocol for assessing human kidney biopsies by flow cytometry. Using this technique we asked whether or not antibody bound to microvascular…2013 American Transplant Congress
Heavy Water and Hydrogen Gas Confer Protection Against Hepatic Cold Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury in Isolated Perfused Rat Liver
Purpose The present study was designed to determine whether heavy water containing solution (Dsol) for cold preservation and hydrogen gas for reperfusion conferred protection in…2013 American Transplant Congress
Gene Expression Assessment in Kidney Transplant Biopsies To Predict Outcomes in Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure, but the determinants of outcome are poorly defined. We hypothesized that disease activity and…2013 American Transplant Congress
Preexisting Donor Specific Antibody (DSA) with a Negative Flow Crossmatch (FCXM) Should Not Preclude Kidney Transplantation
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham
Background: DSA is associated with increased risk for acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR). The optimal immunosuppression strategy for FCXM negative (-) DSA positive (+) renal…2013 American Transplant Congress
Optimization of the Coating of Pancreatic Islets with T Regulatory Cells in the Novel Immunoprotective Approach
Aim. T regulatory cells (Tregs) possess immunosuppressive properties and can serve as an effective therapy in transplantation. Recently, we have shown that Tregs can be…2013 American Transplant Congress
Tuning the OPTN's KPD Optimization Algorithm To Incentivize Centers To Enter Their "Easy-to-Match" Pairs
Background: Currently, priority points are awarded in the OPTN Kidney Paired Donation Pilot Program's (KPDPP) optimization algorithm as follows: zero mismatch (200 pts), highly sensitized…
