The purpose of this study was to determine the relative importance of blood vessels (hemangiogenesis) versus lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis) in mediating immunological responses after transplantation. Using the murine model of corneal transplantation, graft survival was compared in differentially prevascularized and avascular recipient beds. Donor corneas (C57BL/6) were transplanted into ...

The American Heart Association (AHA) released a scientific statement in 2015 regarding the secondary prevention after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) [1]. Advice was given for antiplatelet therapy, antihypertensives, beta-blockers, and anti-lipids post CABG prevention. This paper reviewed adherence at single centre discharge with AHA guidelines [1] effect this had on outcomes.

OBJECTIVES Reducing the incidence of delayed graft function after transplant with donation after cardiac death donor renal allografts would facilitate managing recipients during their first weeks after a transplant. To reduce this incidence, in most studies, induction therapy with depleting anti-T-lymphocyte antibodies is coupled with a reduction of the dosage of the calcineurin inhibitor. The ...

A majority of patients with orofacial cleft deformity requires cleft repair through a bone graft. However, elevated amount of bone resorption and subsequent bone graft failure remains a significant clinical challenge. Bisphosphonates (BPs), a class of anti-resorptive drugs, may offer great promise in enhancing the clinical success of bone grafting. In this study, we compared the effects of syst...

A 57-year-old woman with angioimmunoblastic lymphoma received allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHCT) after complete remission under 4th -line chemotherapy. One month aHCT, PET-scan showed progress of the lymphoma. Therefore, immunosuppressants (including mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine A) were reduced to enhance graft versus tumor reaction. An anti-infective prophylaxis...

Between 1989 and 2003, 100 transplants were performed in 96 patients at the pediatric nephrology unit of the Calvo Mackenna Children's Hospital. Mean age 10.9 +/- 3.9 yr (1-17.6), 30% from LD. Donors were younger than 5 yr in five patients and all recipients received an 'en bloc' graft. Original disease was hypo/dysplasia 27%, reflux nephropathy 22 and 17% chronic glomerulonephritis. The immuno...

PURPOSE To investigate the inhibitory effects of anti-mouse interleukin-17 (IL-17) monoclonal antibody (mAb) in high-responder corneal allograft rejection. METHODS C57BL/6 or BALB/c mice corneal grafts were grafted onto BALB/c hosts. The neutralizing mouse IL-17 antibody and isotype control were injected intraperitoneally immediately after transplantation for experimental treatment. At approp...
