Lifor Organ Preservation Solution Protects Pulmonary Microvasculature in a Rat Model of Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion and Transplantation
A. Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as an innovative method for lung preservation. Microvascular dysfunction and breakdown of endothelial barrier during EVLP are…2015 American Transplant Congress
Gradual Warming Up Perfusion Post Static Cold Storage Reduces Renal Injury
We hypothesize that the sudden warm reperfusion after Cold Storage [CS] is detrimental for the graft and we therefore evaluated different warming-up procedures before reperfusion.Methods:Rat…2015 American Transplant Congress
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy to Improve Functional Outcome in Vascular Composite Allotransplantation (VCA)
Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma.
Introduction: Although over 200 VCA including hand and face transplants have been performed worldwide with encouraging graft survival outcomes, long-term success with motor and sensory…2015 American Transplant Congress
Effects of the Allo-Immune Response On Nerve Regeneration in Vascularized Composite Allotranplantation
Purpose: Unlike solid organ transplantation, VCA relies on adequate nerve regeneration for graft function. There is a lack of understanding regarding how the alloimmune response…2015 American Transplant Congress
Experimental Study Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography to Evaluate Rat Chronic Allograft Nephropathy Model and the Relationship Between Hemodynamic Parameters and Renal Allograft Fibrosis
Objectives:To quantitatively analyze the changes of hemodynamic characteristics in renal allograft at different stages of a rat chronic allograft nephropathy [CAN]model and the relationship between…2015 American Transplant Congress
Proteasome Activation During Renal Cold Storage and Transplantation: A Novel Pathway for Mitochondrial Destruction?
Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR.
Purpose: Renal cold storage (CS) is considered to be an alloantigen-independent risk factor for long-term transplant outcome. The precise molecular mechanisms responsible for CS-related renal…2015 American Transplant Congress
Complement Inhibition Via the Lectin Pathway Improves Experimental Cardiac Graft Survival
Purpose: While complement activation via both the classical as well as the lectin pathway is believed to contribute to allograft loss, their relative contribution is…2015 American Transplant Congress
Identification of miRNAs Associated With Induced Tolerance to Allografts
Surgery-Transplantation, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.
Introduction: Although the liver is less immunogenic than other solid organs, most liver transplant recipients receive lifelong immunosuppression. Total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) is part of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Type III Phosphodiesterase (PDE3) Inhibitor Improves Survival Rate After Ischemia Reperfusion Injury of the Liver in Rats
BackgroundPDE3 inhibitor (Cilostazol) has long been used as a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Recently, there have been a report on the protective…2015 American Transplant Congress
Stem Cell and Novel Biologic Therapies to Enhance Functional Recovery in Limb Transplantation
Surgery/Clinical Investigation, Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, WA.
Introduction: Unlike visceral organ transplants, vascular composite allotransplantation such as limb and face require successful nerve regeneration and reinnervation of graft motor and sensory targets…
