Size Does Matter: A Comparison of CT-Measured Donor Kidney Cortex Volume to Radioisotopic GFR Measurement in Living Kidney Donation
Living kidney donation (LKD) needs a careful evaluation of the kidney function of the donor. There are diverging evaluation methods in use. The purpose of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Germinal Centre Responses Drive Epitope Diversification in an Autoantibody-Mediated Model of Heart Allograft Vasculopathy
Surgery, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
IntroductionAutoantibody following organ transplantation is increasingly correlated with poor graft outcome.We have reported recently that in a MHC class II mismatched mouse heart transplant model,graft-versus-host…2013 American Transplant Congress
Boceprevir-Based Tritherapy of HCV-Infected Belgian Liver Transplanted Patients: Preliminary Experience
Background: Management of recurrent hepatitis C infection remains a major challenge after liver transplantation. Protease-inhibitor based regimens improve virological response in non-transplanted HCV genotype 1…2013 American Transplant Congress
Olmesartan, Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blocker, Induced Prolonged Survival of Murine Cardiac Allografts and Generated Regulatory Cells
Surgery, Teikyo University, Tokyo, Japan; Surgery, Aisei Hospital, Tokyo, Japan
Background: Several studies have shown that angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1 receptor) blockade reduced graft arteriosclerosis and immune-mediated graft damages. Here, we investigated the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Liver Biopsy as Rejection Criteria in Living Donor Liver Transplant: Analysis of 94 Cases
Background: The application of liver biopsy as one of the selection criteria in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is controversial. In populations with high prevalence…2013 American Transplant Congress
Evidence That Anti-Interleukin-6 Receptor Treatment Modulates Splenic T-Cell Subsets during Development of Allosensitization
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Introduction: We previously reported that inhibition of IL-6/IL-6R interactions by an anti-IL6R monoclonal (mMR16-1) attenuates anti-HLA-A2 responses in a mouse model of sensitization. The current…2013 American Transplant Congress
Simple Post-Transplant Immunological Score Accurately Predicts the Risk of Infection in Kidney Transplant (KT) Recipients, A
Aim: To develop a practical score –based on readily available immunological parameters– to predict the risk of infection in KT recipients.Methods: We included 245 patients…2013 American Transplant Congress
Baicalin Mediates Renal IRI Protection through Inhibition of NF-κB Pathway and Mitochondria Mediated Apoptosis
Background: Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) would highly increase the risk of delayed graft function (DGF) and rejection, and subsequently decrease the long-term graft survival…2013 American Transplant Congress
Perfluorocarbon Added to the University of Winsconsin Solution Reduces Ischemia Reperfusion Injury and Prolongs Survival of DCD Liver Grafts
Background: Low ATP contents in the graft have been associated with poor transplant outcomes. DCD grafts are particularly vulnerable to ischemia reperfusion injury because of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Gender Difference in Renal Ischemia Tolerance Is Extrinsic to the Kidney
Background: Gender has been shown to have some impact on tolerance of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in animal models, with female mice having greater IRI tolerance.…
