Background: Since there is a lack of research on postoperative anticoagulation protocol in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) / coronary endarterectomy (CE), we recommend a new protocol for anticoagulation in these patients. Methods: In this double-blind randomized clinical trial study, 52 patients undergoing CABG / CE entered the study and were divided into two groups. In...

In the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice1 (AFSJ), the process of European integration has considerably supported the establishment of Union bodies, agencies and information systems in recent years. Horizontal information sharing, including the exchange of personal data between these bodies, has become an essential tool in the internal security policy of the European Union (EU). Inter-agency...

After incubation with thymosin, a thymic hormone, normal bone marrow rosette-forming cells acquire T-cell characteristics, including increased sensitivity to azathioprine, anti-lymphocyte serum, and anti-theta serum. This activity of thymosin provides a new sensitive and reproducible bioassay for thymosin, and is well correlated with an in vivo graft-versus-host assay. In addition, incubation o...

Histoplasmosis is caused by the dimorphic fungus - Histoplasma capsulatum. The presentation of histoplasmosis often disseminated, though primary intestinal involvement can rarely be seen in patients with cell mediated immune dysfunction like AIDS. We report a case renal allograft recipient, who had history COVID 19 infection and also underwent anti-rejection treatment for graft dysfunction, pre...

Anti-dsDNA Abs are specific diagnostic markers of systemic lupus erythematosus, and are also implicated in kidney pathology. Anti-dsDNA B cells have been shown to be tolerized in nonautoimmune mice. The immunodysregulation that causes these cells to break tolerance is presumably part of the fundamental defects in systemic lupus erythematosus. To explore these mechanisms, we used the chronic gra...

INTRODUCTION The existence of a graft-versus-lymphoma effect is well established. When lacking a firm diagnosis, however, the clinician is challenged to to weigh the potential benefits of the graft-versus-lymphoma effect against potential dangers of graft-versus-host disease as well as against generalized (viral) infections. CASE PRESENTATION We present evidence for a graft-versus-lymphoma ef...

Objective: Anti-human leukocyte antibodies (HLA) play an important role in graft survival, particularly kidney transplantation. Preformed anti-HLA antibodies, especially donor specific can cause acute and chronic rejections. In this study, it was aimed to assess the effects of patients before transplant on function, failure, patient survival. Methods: PRA (Panel Reactive Antibody) levels were m...

CD154/CD40 blockade combined with donor specific transfusion remains one of the most effective therapies in prolonging allograft survival. Despite this, the mechanisms by which these pathways synergize to prevent rejection are not completely understood. Utilizing a BALB/c (H2-K(d)) to B6 (H2-K(b)) fully allogeneic skin transplant model system, we performed a detailed longitudinal analysis of th...
