Acute Diverticulitis Incidence, Management, and Outcomes in Solid Organ Transplant Patients
BACKGROUND: Transplant patients with acute diverticulitis require more frequently an operation because immunosuppresion can mask initial symptoms, delaying treatment and leading to perforation. Our goal…2013 American Transplant Congress
Cardiac Allograft Prolongation by Autologous CD117+ Progenitor Cells Requires CD11b Expression from within the CD117+ Cellular Inoculum
Purpose: Published studies demonstrate significant cardiac allograft prolongation with autologous CD117+ progenitor cell (PC) therapy as well as differential engraftment of the allograft and related…2013 American Transplant Congress
Status 1 Liver Candidates Benefit from Full Regional Sharing
Introduction. The OPTN implemented full regional sharing of adult donor livers for all Status 1A and Status 1B liver candidates on December 15, 2010. Prior…2013 American Transplant Congress
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Tacrolimus Toxicity in Renal Transplant Recipient
IntroductionAnticalcineurins long-term use is associated with interstitial fibrosis, partly responsible for chronic graft dysfunction in kidney transplantation. Studies in patients treated with cyclosporine show that…2013 American Transplant Congress
Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin Dosing and Monitoring in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Anti-Xa monitoring for low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is currently recommended in obese, renally impaired, and pregnant patients. Substantial evidence indicates solid organ transplant (SOT) patients are…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…
