Cytomegalovirus infection and graft survival in renal graft recipients

Archives of Virology, 1978
We have studied 85 patients who received a renal transplant for CMV infection as well as for herpes simplex (HSV), herpes zoster (HZ), measles, mumps, rubella and hepatitis B. We found no evidence of primary or secondary infections for the non herpetic viruses except for hepatitis B infection that occurred in 17 per cent of the patients.

Mechanisms of Fat Graft Survival

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2016
Abstract Although more fat grafting procedures have been performed by plastic surgeons with the primary goal to restore soft tissue loss, the actual mechanism on how fat graft survives remains less completely understood. An established old theory on fat graft survival is still based on the cell survival theory proposed by Peer ...

SKIN GRAFT SURVIVAL ON AVASCULAR DEFECTS

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1975
Full-thickness skin grafts placed on bare rabbit ear cartilage were revascularized, whereas split-skin grafts on the same kinds of areas failed. The contrast is most likely due to differences in the skin graft thickness and the vascular patterns in the grafts.

Skin Graft Survival—The Bacterial Answer

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1989
An in vitro wound model was created to determine the mechanism by which bacteria cause skin graft failure. A wound surface was simulated by a human fibrin clot. Staphylococcus aureus or group A streptococcus was incubated over the clot. Either saline, human plasminogen, aprotinin, or epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA), or a combination of these, was ...

Renal Graft Survival and Calcineurin Inhibitor

Transplantation, 2005
Tacrolimus is associated with fewer acute rejections than cyclosporine, but a greater risk of new onset diabetes mellitus. When compared to no tacrolimus among nondiabetics in a large patient registry, it is associated with improved graft survival.

Backtransplantation for survival of the graft

Transplantation Proceedings, 2005
To assess survival of grafts after uncontrollable rejection, one performs backtransplantation from the recipient to the donor. This study investigated backtransplantation in an animal model. Hearts were transplanted heterotopically in rats. After a few days, the transplanted heart grafts were harvested from the recipients and backtransplanted to the ...

Bone Graft Survival in Expanded Skin

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1988
The effect of tissue expansion on iliac bone graft (onlay) survival was studied on the skulls of 35 New Zealand white rabbits. Wet bone weights at the time of grafting and at sacrifice in control animals (group I) were compared to three experimental groups.

Pharmacologic Enhancement of Composite Graft Survival

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1987
The use of composite grafts in facial reconstruction has been limited by a history of unpredictable survival beyond a radius of 1 cm. Numerous pharmacologic agents have been employed to improve the survival of random skin flaps but, to our knowledge, have not been studied in composite grafts.

Immunological Factors Influencing Renal Graft Survival

Annual Review of Medicine, 1983
The results of clinical renal transplantation are determined mainly by immunological factors, the most important of which are compatibility for the HLA chromosomes and pretransplant blood transfusions. Other factors include HLA matching in cadaver transplantation, compatibility for the Lewis blood group system, and sensitization to lymphocyte panels or

Long-term graft survival.

Clinical transplants, 1991
1. Long-term graft survival is characterized by failure rates that are essentially constant after about a year or 2. The rate has not varied appreciably among cohorts defined in terms of transplant year. 2. Transplants with an excellent clinical course throughout the first 3 months (about 2-thirds of cadaver-donor first transplants) have substantially ...
