Cellular Mechanism of Enhanced Alloimmunity by Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Transplant Research Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Ischemia reperfusion injury of transplanted organs represents a key pathogenic inflammatory process, which increases their allogenicity; subsequently augmenting the rate of acute and chronic rejection.…2015 American Transplant Congress
CHBP in Preservation Solution and Autologous Blood Perfusate Ameliorates Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Isolated Porcine Kidneys
Background. There is an imperative need to better preserve isolated organs before transplantation. A non-erythropoiesis cyclic helix B peptide (CHBP) derived from erythropoietin was newly…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pharmacokinetics of Tacrolimus (TAC) in Elderly Compared to Young Recipients in the First Year After Renal Transplantation. Data from the NEverOLd Trial
Elderly (≥60years) recipients are nowadays receiving renal transplants more frequently. The pharmacokinetics studies (PK) of immunosuppressive drugs in healthy volunteers, rarely, if ever, include old…2015 American Transplant Congress
2-Year Results on Renal Function and Safety for Everolimus plus Reduced-Exposure Calcineurin Inhibitor in Living Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
Purpose: The long-term effects of everolimus (EVR) with reduced cyclosporine (rCsA) exposure over 24 months on renal function and safety (viral infection) were assessed in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Intra-Lymphocyte Concentrations of Mycophenolic Acid Correlate With the Incidence of Early Graft Rejection in Renal Transplant Recipients
Introduction: Although routine therapeutic drug monitoring of mycophenolic acid (MPA) concentrations in plasma has been recommended to individualize MPA doses in transplant recipients, little is…2015 American Transplant Congress
Reassessing Tubulitis and Interstitial Infiltrate: Creating a New Probabilistic Definition of TCMR
Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre, Edmonton, Canada.
Conventional diagnosis of T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) in kidney transplant biopsies relies on interstitial inflammation (i-lesions), tubulitis (t-lesions), vasculitis (v-lesions) and experience-derived interpretation rules. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Survival Outcomes of Liver Transplantation for Klatskin Tumour: A Comparative Study With Radical Resection Surgery
Background and aim: Besides radical resection (RR), Liver transplantation (LT) is another suggested surgical modality for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumour, KT) especially for patients whose…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Epidemiology of Surgical Site Infections Among Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients
Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) are a significant cause of morbidity among adult liver transplant (LT) recipients. Data on SSI epidemiology and SSI-associated outcomes among…2015 American Transplant Congress
Vitamin D Deficiency and Hypertension in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Patients: Could We Be Doing More?
Introduction and Objective: 50-80% of pediatric kidney transplant patients have hypertension (HTN). HTN is a known risk factor for decreased allograft function and survival in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Dermatology Is an Essential Part of Transplant Care: Report of a Two-Year Experience from a Transplant Dermatology Center
Background: It is well-documented that patients who have undergone organ transplantation have a higher incidence of new skin cancers and that this risk is magnified…
