Cytokines and graft function in heart transplant recipients [PDF]
Allo-antigen dependent and independent factors early after heart transplantation lead to a response-to-injury mechanism that may determine later outcome in terms of acute rejection, chronic rejection, graft dysfunction, and mortality. 13·24'30'53 The aim

A prospective randomized trial of tacrolimus and prednisone versus tacrolimus, prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil in primary adult liver transplantation: A single center report [PDF]
Background. Tacrolimus (TAC) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) are currently approved immunosuppressants for prevention of rejection in liver transplantation (LTx).

SPECT- and PET-Based Approaches for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Acute Renal Allograft Rejection
Molecular imaging techniques such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography are promising tools for noninvasive diagnosis of acute allograft rejection (AR). Given the importance of renal transplantation and the

The effect of small bowel transplantation on the morphology and physiology of intestinal muscle: A comparison of autografts versus allografts in dogs [PDF]
The effects of acute (AR) and chronic rejection (CR) on intestinal smooth muscle that are responsible for the dysmotility following small bowel transplantation (SBTX) are incompletely understood. Jejunal and ileal specimens from normal control dogs (n=7),

Urinary-Cell mRNA Profile and Acute Cellular Rejection in Kidney Allografts [PDF]
Background—The standard test for the diagnosis of acute rejection in kidney transplants is the renal biopsy. Noninvasive tests would be preferable. Methods—We prospectively collected 4300 urine specimens from 485 kidney-graft recipients from day 3 ...

Analysis of chronic rejection and obliterative arteriopathy: Possible contributions of donor antigen-presenting cells and lymphatic disruption [PDF]
Sequential analysis of changes that lead to chronic rejection was undertaken in an animal model of chronic rejection and obliterative arteriopathy. Brown Norway rats are pretreated with a Lewis bone marrow infusion or a Lewis orthotopic liver allograft ...

Markers of acute rejection and graft acceptance in liver transplantation. [PDF]
The evaluation of the immunosuppression state in liver transplanted patients is crucial for a correct post-transplant management and a major step towards the personalisation of the immunosuppressive therapy.

Early post-transplant urinary IP-10 expression after kidney transplantation is predictive of short- and long-term graft function [PDF]
The early identification of renal transplant recipients at enhanced risk of developing acute and subclinical rejection would allow individualized adjustment of immunosuppression before functional graft injury occurs and would exclude these patients from ...

Two-photon photoactivated voltage imaging in tissue with an Archaerhodopsin-derived reporter [PDF]
Robust voltage imaging in tissue remains a technical challenge. Existing combinations of genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) and microscopy techniques cannot simultaneously achieve sufficiently high voltage sensitivity, background rejection, and time resolution for high-resolution mapping of sub-cellular voltage dynamics in intact brain ...
