Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells (GMSCs) Mitigate Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Regulating Macrophage Polarization Through miR-199a-3p
Organ Transplant Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China
*Purpose: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been increasingly studied in organ ischemia-reperfusion injury, but the mechanism is still unclear. This study explored the immunoregulatory effects…2020 American Transplant Congress
Declining Inpatient Mortality for Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Cirrhosis: A Temporal Analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample
Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY
*Purpose: Despite the advent of highly effective anti-retroviral therapy, HIV remains a major health burden. Though life expectancy has improved, patients are now dying from…2020 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplantation for Primary Liver Sarcoma in Children-The US Experience from the Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients (1988-2018)
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Primary liver sarcomas (PLS) are rare tumors and encompass subtypes with diverse histology and varying outcomes. These subtypes include embryonal sarcoma (ES), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS),…2020 American Transplant Congress
Marginal Livers Have Excellent Outcomes in Pediatric Patients with Metabolic Liver Disease
*Purpose: Pediatric patients with metabolic diseases are listed so that livers are preferentially allocated to them, having the option of receiving a very high quality…2020 American Transplant Congress
Using HCV Infected Organs and the Challenge of Third-Party Payers
Comprhensive Transplant Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
*Purpose: The practice of transplanting organs from hepatitis C viremic donors (HCV NAT+) into negative recipients hinges on the ability to ensure direct acting antiviral…2020 American Transplant Congress
Neoadjuvant Gem/Cis Followed by Transarterial Radioembolization for Locally Advanced iCCA with Intent for Curative Resection
Transplantation Institute, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: Locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LAiCCA) has a traditionally poor prognosis with few curative surgical options and a high incidence of postop recurrence. The intent…2020 American Transplant Congress
Roles of Calpastatin in Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Aged Livers
Surgery, Washington University St. Louis, St. Louis, MO
*Purpose: Aged livers are far more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury than young livers. No therapeutic strategies are available to reduce I/R injury in elderly…2020 American Transplant Congress
Reducing Travel While Improving Geographic Equity: Continuous Distribution with “Gravity Functions”
*Purpose: Recently, the OPTN board selected the continuous distribution framework for future organ allocation changes. Continuous distribution allocates organs without geographic boundaries, for example, by…2020 American Transplant Congress
National Experience with Living Donor Liver Transplant for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
1Dept of Medicine, UCSF, San Francisco, CA, 2Dept of Surgery, UCSF, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: LDLT is an attractive option to decrease both wait time and risk of waitlist dropout in HCC. This study aimed to evaluate temporal and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Inactive Status Change is an Independent Predictor of Waitlist Mortality and Disproportionately Impacts Patients in Donor Service Areas with a Higher Median MELD at Transplant
*Purpose: Liver waitlist mortality is calculated by including both active and inactive patients. As inactive patients are unable to receive organ offers, models that adjust…
