After kidney transplantation (KT), donor-specific hyporesponsiveness (DSH) of recipient T cells develops over time. Recently, apoptosis was identified as a possible underlying mechanism. In this study, both transcriptomic profiles and complete V(D)J variable regions TR transcripts from individual alloreactive transplant recipients were determined with single-cell RNA sequencing. Alloreactive by...

Objective: Cytomegalovirus infection is common in the neonatal period, during childhood, while adults, it encountered immunosuppressed patients. CMV a serious cause of mortality. pneumonitis seen most frequently even if ganciclovir treatment given prophylactically after stem cell transplantation and at least kidney transplantation. In this article, we present case severe cavitary pneumonia that...

This study evaluate the potential of plasmatic CXCL-10 (pCXCL-10) as a pre&post transplantation prognostic and diagnostic biomarker T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), antibody-mediated (ABMR) subclinical (SCR) risk in adult kidney recipients considering BKV CMV infections possible clinical confounder factors. Twenty-eight 100 patients included experienced (TCMR:14; ABMR:14); 8 SCR; 13 16 were di...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment option for hematological disorders. Cyclosporine (CsA) is one of the major immunosuppressive agents for the prophylaxis against graft versus host disease (GvHD). In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effects of CsA serum levels on the incidence of acute GvHD and transplant outcomes. 103 adult patients rece...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leading to 5 million deaths annually is 1 of the 5 major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Iran, accidents are the main cause of death in youth as well as a dominant factor in reducing quality of life. In developing countries TBI incidence as one of the worst consequences of these accidents is growing due to wide use of motor-vehicles. Therapeutic stra...

objectives: graft versus host disease (gvhd) is a life threatening reaction in the stem cell transplantation process. nowadays cyclosporine is the most commonly utilized agent for gvhd prophylaxis and it has a major role in successful transplantation. cyclosporine has been applied for many years in this field but it could be stated that currently no general consensus is available for its optima...

introduction: despite achievement to complete remission (cr) with current treatments and new multiple chemotherapeutic agents in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) patients, the majority of them still relapse during long-term follow-up. the use of post- remission therapy will reduce early relapse in these cases, but the best option is still debatable. patients and methods: in this retrospective...

experimental and clinical studies have shown that intracoronary transplantation of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmscs) has resulted in regenerated infarcted myocardium and improved left ventricular (lv) function.the aim of this pilot study was to assess the benefical effectsof intracoronary transplantation of bmsc in patients with oldmyocardial infarction (omi). autologous bms...

A clinical study of lyophilized intravenous human immunoglobulin containing high-titer cytomegalovirus-neutralizing antibody for the treatment cytomegalovirus viremia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

background: the presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. however, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. objective: to study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...
