AMPK Activator Promotes, but Complement and Thrombin Inhibit Anti-A/B Antibody-Induced Accommodation in Endothelial Cells
[Purpose] Several efforts have been made to define the mechanisms of accommodation termed as a condition without graft rejection even in the presence of anti-donor…2013 American Transplant Congress
Is There More Stress or Coercion To Donate in KPD Donors?
BACKGROUND:Kidney paired donation (KPD) is growing fast. The donors in KPD, or chain donors (Ch-D), have never before been studied from a psychosocial aspect or…2013 American Transplant Congress
Early Recurrence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Primary Liver Resection Is Associated with Poor Outcome of Salvage Liver Transplantation: A Multicenter Analysis of 82 Cases
Objective) Salvage liver transplantation (LT) is considered a feasible option for treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially when living-donor LT is a possible option.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Systematic Bias in Surgeon Predictions of Donor-Specific Risk of Liver Transplant Graft Failure
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
BACKGROUND: The decision to accept or decline a liver allograft for a patient on the transplant waiting list is complex. We hypothesized that surgeons are…2013 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Adipose Tissue Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on B Cells Proliferation and Differentiation, The
Background:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have proven immunomodulatory capacity (in vitro and in vivo) which makes them a promising therapeutic tool in transplantation. However, research on…2013 American Transplant Congress
No Inhibitory Effect of Pre-Transplant Desensitization Including Rituximab or Splenectomy on De Novo HLA Antibody Production after Kidney Transplantation
BACKGROUND: The long-term effect of rituximab (RIT) and splenectomy (SPX) on de novo HLA Ab production after renal transplantation (RTx) was unclear. METHODS: We examined…2013 American Transplant Congress
Alemtuzumab as Anti-Rejection Therapy in Kidney Transplant Patients Induces Homeostatic T Cell Proliferation and Impairs IL7 but Not IL2 Responses
Dept of Internal Medicine, ErasmusMC, University Medical Center, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Introduction: Induction therapy with alemtuzumab is known to result in T cell depletion followed by a slow immune recovery leading to hypo-responsiveness to the graft.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Multivisceral Transplantation for Unresectable Hepatoblastoma: Single Center Experience
Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA

PurposeCare of pediatric liver transplant recipients has traditionally included postoperative ventilation. Since 2005, we have evaluated for immediate extubation(IE) in the operating room based on…2013 American Transplant Congress
Spontaneous Acceptance of Mouse Islet Allografts in B Cell-Deficient Donor and Recipient Is Associated with Donor-Derived Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells
Surgery/Transplantation, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
Spontaneous acceptance of grafts can be hightlighted by novel mechanisms of drug-free transplantation tolerance. Several animal studies showed that mouse renal allografts in certain strain…
