Inferior Graft and Patient Survival After Living Donor Renal Transplantation of Negatively Selected Right Kidneys.
Purpose: In living donor renal transplantation, the left kidney is usually chosen for anatomical reasons. The right kidney is sometimes chosen if it is believed…2017 American Transplant Congress
Transplant Center Variability in Disparities for African-American Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Disparities research has traditionally focused on patient-level variables to ascertain predominant risk factors driving differences in outcomes for African-American (AA) kidney transplant (KTX) recipients. The…2017 American Transplant Congress
iNKT Cell Activation Plus Veto Cell Transfer Yields Complete Chimerism in a Murine Sub-Lethal Bone Marrow Transplant Model.
Transplant tolerance induction makes it possible to preserve functional grafts for a lifetime without immunosuppressants. We have previously established a novel method for mixed chimera…2017 American Transplant Congress
Dexamethasone Prolongs Cardiac Allograft Survival in a Murine Model Through Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells.
Recently, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have attracted considerable attention because of their cancer-promoting and immunosuppressive effects. The glucocorticoid (GC) dexamethasone (Dex) is an important immunosuppressive…2017 American Transplant Congress
Recipient iNOS Deficiency Reduces Spontaneous Kidney Allograft Acceptance by Accelerating Allograft Loss.
Center for Transplantation Sciences, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
Nitric oxide (NO) production by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), encoded by NOS2, is a hallmark of the innate immune axis, and is typically associated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Initial Hepatic Arterial Followed by Portal Reperfusion on Outcomes After Liver Transplantation.
Background: While initial portal reperfusion (PV) of a liver allograft is nearly standardized, limited data suggests initial hepatic arterial reperfusion (HA) may improve hemodynamics and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Three Induction Therapies on Patients with Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplantation, a Three-Year Outcome Analysis.
Departments of Medicine and Surgery, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA
We compare the 3-year outcomes of induction therapies with either methylprednisolone (group 1, n=58), basiliximab (group 2, n=56) or alemtuzumab (group 3, n=98) in primary…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Composite Score Associated with Spontaneous Operational Tolerance in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
New challenges in renal transplantation include using biological information to devise a useful clinical test for discerning high- and low-risk patients for individual therapy and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Donor Creatinine and Graft Outcomes in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY
Background: The role of donor peak and terminal creatinine on short and long term allograft outcomes in pediatric kidney transplant recipients is unclear.Aim: To determine…2017 American Transplant Congress
Regulation of T Cell Migration by Specifically Targeting Lymphotoxin β Receptor (LTβR)-Mediated Non-Canonical NFkB Signaling.
Background:Selective recruitment of regulatory T cells (Treg) to draining lymph nodes is crucial for graft survival, and LTαβ-LTβR signaling is required to direct Treg into…
