Early diagnosis of acute renal allograft rejection: efficacy of macrophage migration inhibition test as an immunological diagnosis [PDF]
, 1977 1. Three cases of acute rejection were detected by macrophage migration inhibition tests (MIT) conducted directly on seven patients who had received renal allografts. The macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) activity was positive in all cases 1-2

Unraveling the Role of Allo-Antibodies and Transplant Injury. [PDF]
, 2016 Alloimmunity driving rejection in the context of solid organ transplantation can be grossly divided into mechanisms predominantly driven by either T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) and antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), though the co-existence of both ...

Circular RNAs in urine of kidney transplant patients with acute T Cell-mediated allograft rejection [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently been described as novel noncoding regulators of gene expression. They are detectable in the blood of patients with acute kidney injury. We tested whether circRNAs were present in urine and could serve as

What have we learned about primary liver transplantation under tacrolimus immunosuppression? - Long-term follow-up of the first 1000 patients [PDF]
, 1999 Objective: To summarize the long-term efficacy and safety of tacrolimus in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients, as well as to examine the factors that influence long-term morbidity and mortality rates. Background: Tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf) was

Skin Segmentation based Elastic Bunch Graph Matching for efficient multiple Face Recognition [PDF]
, 2013 This paper is aimed at developing and combining different algorithms for face detection and face recognition to generate an efficient mechanism that can detect and recognize the facial regions of input image. For the detection of face from complex region, skin segmentation isolates the face-like regions in a complex image and following operations of ...

Liver transplant rejection. Angiographic findings in 35 patients [PDF]
, 1987 Rejection, the leading cause of liver allograft dysfunction, is usually detected by liver biopsy. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are angiographic findings that correlate with this posttransplantation complication.

The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
, 1990 Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

Unsupervised MR Motion Artifact Deep Learning using Outlier-Rejecting Bootstrap Aggregation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Recently, deep learning approaches for MR motion artifact correction have been extensively studied. Although these approaches have shown high performance and reduced computational complexity compared to classical methods, most of them require supervised training using paired artifact-free and artifact-corrupted images, which may prohibit its use in ...
