Pediatric lung transplantation: The years 1985 to 1992 and the clinical trial of FK 506 [PDF]
The application of lung transplantation to the pediatric population was a natural extension of the success realized in our adult transplantation program, which began in 1982. Twenty pediatric patients (age range 3 to 18 years) have had heart-lung (n = 11)

Current status of liver transplantation for non‐B non‐C liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma
Recently, the cases of LT for non‐B non‐C cirrhosis and HCC have been increasing in Japan as well as worldwide. Perioperative management of non‐B non‐C liver disease is problematic due to various risk factors, including alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome‐related risks, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus.

BRD4770 functions as a novel ferroptosis inhibitor to protect against aortic dissection
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) loss is the characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of aortic dissection (AD), and ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by the excessive lipid peroxidation accumulation.

A clinical trial combining donor bone marrow infusion and heart transplantation: intermediate-term results. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Donor chimerism (the presence of donor cells of bone marrow origin) is present for years after transplantation in recipients of solid organs. In lung recipients, chimerism is associated with a lower incidence of chronic rejection.

Identification of common blood gene signatures for the diagnosis of renal and cardiac acute allograft rejection. [PDF]
To test, whether 10 genes, diagnostic of renal allograft rejection in blood, are able to diagnose and predict cardiac allograft rejection, we analyzed 250 blood samples from heart transplant recipients with and without acute rejection (AR) and with ...

Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual
Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...

MicroRNAs Implicated in Dysregulation of Gene Expression Following Human Lung Transplantation [PDF]
Lung transplantation remains the only viable treatment option for the majority of patients with advanced lung diseases. However, 5-year post-transplant survival rates remain low primarily secondary to chronic rejection. Novel insights from global gene expression profiles may provide molecular phenotypes and therapeutic targets to improve outcomes after
