Pediatrics & Donor Derived Disease Transmission: The US OPTN Experience
Potential donor derived disease transmission events (PDDTE) are tracked by the OPTN DTAC. Specific evaluation of potential transmissions from pediatric (ped) donors or the impact…2015 American Transplant Congress
ABO-Incompatible Live Donor Kidney Transplants Inferior to ABO-Compatible Transplants, but Match Deceased Donor Results: Is Kidney Paired Donation the Answer?
Objective: Compare kidney allograft survival in ABO-incompatible (ABO-I) and ABO-compatible (ABO-C) live donor kidney transplant recipients.Methods: We analyzed UNOS database for patients who underwent a…2015 American Transplant Congress
Arterial Blood Pressure at Time of Liver Transplant (LT) Evaluation Correlates With Kidney Biopsy Findings in LT Candidates With Renal Dysfunction
Transplant, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
Renal dysfunction is common in LT candidates; however, predicting post-LT renal recovery is sometimes difficult. Kidney biopsy is helpful in identifying reversible renal injury but…2015 American Transplant Congress

Transplanting Pediatric Livers Into Adult Recipients Is Associated With Increased Rejection and Decreased Survival
General Surgery, Division of Transplantation, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL.
Introduction: Transplantation of pediatric livers to adult recipients, a measure which places the graft at higher risk of hepatic artery thrombosis (HA), is frequently necessitated…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of High-Risk Lung Donors on the Survival of Lung Recipients With Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis

In Vivo Expansion of Donor-Specific Regulatory T Cells by a New Triazolopyrimidine Derivative and Donor-Specific Transfusion
Background: We have previously demonstrated that a new triazolopyrimidine derivative, NK026680 (NK) prevents activation/maturation of dendritic cells. This study investigated whether NK together with donor-specific…2015 American Transplant Congress
CHBP Suppresses Acute Rejection by Inhibition Maturation of Dendritic Cells though Jak-2/STAT3/SOCS1 Signal in Rat Kidney Transplantation
Background. Renal acute rejection (AR) affects both allografts and recipients survival. We recently synthesized a novel proteolysis-resistant cyclic helix B peptide (CHBP), which exerts promising…2015 American Transplant Congress
