BuMPy road of delayed graft function [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2012 delayed graft function (DGF) occurs in 20–30% of renal transplants and contributes significantly to the gradual loss of grafts through accelerated development of chronic allograft dysfunction. Members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family are incriminated as the major driving force for developing fibrosis.

The comparative efficacy and safety of basiliximab and antithymocyte globulin in deceased donor kidney transplantation: a multicenter cohort study [PDF]
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023 Background Generally, an induction agent is chosen based on the conditions of the deceased donor and the recipient. Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is preferred in relatively high-risk conditions.

The Perspectives of Biomarkers in Predicting the Survival of the Renal Graft
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022 Kidney transplantation (KT) is currently the elective approach for patients with end-stage renal disease. Although it is a safe choice for these patients, the early complications can lead to graft dysfunction. One of the most redoubtable complications is

Gender differences in renal transplant graft survival
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2013 A long-term retrospective study was conducted to assess the risk factors of renal transplant graft failure focusing on the effects of gender of both the donor and the recipient.

Polystyrene grafting from silica nanoparticles via Nitroxide-Mediated-Polymerization (NMP): synthesis and SANS analysis with contrast variation method [PDF]
Soft Matter 5, 19 (2009) 3741-3753, 2010 We present a new convenient and efficient "grafting from" method to obtain well defined polystyrene (PS) silica nanoparticles. The method, based on Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization (NMP), consists to bind covalently the alkoxyamine, which acts as initiator controller agent, at the silica nanoparticles surface in two steps. The first step is a reaction

Soft interactions modify the diffusive dynamics of polymer-grafted nanoparticles in solutions of free polymer [PDF]
, 2019 We examine the dynamics of silica particles grafted with high molecular weight polystyrene suspended in semidilute solutions of chemically similar linear polymer using x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. The particle dynamics decouple from the bulk viscosity despite their large hydrodynamic size and instead experience an effective viscosity that ...

Pressure exerted by a grafted polymer: Bethe lattice solution [PDF]
J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 48 (2015) 035002, 2014 We solve the problem of a chain, modeled as a self-avoiding walk, grafted o the wall limiting a semi-infinite Bethe lattice of arbitrary coordination number q. In particular, we determine the pressure exerted by the polymer on the wall, as a function of the distance to the grafting point. The pressure, in general, decays exponentially with the distance,

Graft and patient survival in kidney transplantation: A single-center experience
Tungs’ Medical Journal, 2022 Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease need renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant (KT), to live a relatively normal life.
