Introduction . Infections are among the most common complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Aim — to provide a literature review on main characteristics of infectious allogenic transplantation and risk factors for their development. Main findings Apart from direct such as neutropenia, hypogammaglobulinemia, lymphopenia, there indirect transplant-related condition...

OBJECTIVE To describe the early results of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in patients who had previously undergone cultivated limbal epithelium transplantation. METHODS Medical records of patients with limbal stem cell deficiency due to chemical burns who underwent PKP after cultivated limbal epithelium transplantation were reviewed for demographics, primary etiology, type of limbal transplan...

We report a case of a patient who underwent allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation complicated by acute colonic pseudo obstruction who required surgery after failure of conservative therapy.

We tested the hypothesis that allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) alleviated brain death (BD)-induced remote organ damage and events of post heart-transplant acute rejection. To determine the impact of BD on remote organ damage, adult-male F344 rats (n=24) were categorized sham-control (SC), BD and BDMSC (allogenic ADMSC/1.2 × 106 cells/derived from F344 by intravenous tra...

AIM To study the short tandem repeat (STR) pattern of DNA from the blood, buccal swabs, and hair follicles of the recipients of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to examine whether these tissues contain donor derived cells. METHODS The study enrolled 25 patients who sustained engraftment. Peripheral blood, buccal swabs, and hair follicles were collected on days 21-30, 90, and ...

Unusual sites of relapses following allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are rarely reported. Our report describes a thirty-two-year old female, who developed extramedullary (EM) breast relapse after allogenic HSCT for pre B cell Philadelphia chromosome negative ALL. She had no evidence of leukemia in her marrow demonstrating 100% full ...

Cytomegalovirus(CMV) disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. CMV enteritis should be considered when nausea and vomiting continue 3 to 4 weeks after bone marrow transplantation(BMT). The treatment of CMV enteritis is not well established. We report a CMV duodenitis patient following allogenic bone marrow transplantation. The patient had prolonged nause...

eighteen patients, twelve men and six women, with aplastic anemia underwent allogenic bone marrow transplantation (bmt) from hla-matched siblings during the period of 1990 to 1996. the conditioning regimen was cyclophosphamide with or without busulfan, depending on the cause of aplasia. antilymphocyte globulin (alg) and cyclosporine were used for rejection and acute gvhd prophylaxis, respective...

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...

BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation (ktx) in mice is used to learn about rejection and to develop new treatment strategies. Past studies have mainly been based on histological or molecular biological methods. Imaging techniques to monitor allograft pathology have rarely been used. METHODS Here we investigated mice after isogenic and allogenic ktx over time with functional MRI with diffusion-wei...
