The Hemodynamic Physiology of Primary Graft Dysfunction [PDF]

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2021
Purpose The physiology of severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is not well defined. This study (i) models the pathophysiology of severe PGD post-heart transplantation (HT) using patient data and (ii) compare the effects of right ventricular assist device (RVAD) and extracorporeal life support (ECLS).

One hundred ten consecutive primary orthotopic liver transplants under FK 506 in adults. [PDF]

, 1991
An account is given of the 6- to 12-month survival, and causes of failure in 110 consecutive patients who underwent primary liver transplantation under treatment from the outset with FK 506 and steroids. The patient survival is 92.7%, and the first graft

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Liver Transplantation in Rescue Allocation: Comparison of the Donor Risk Index, Balance of Risk Score and Graft Function After Liver Transplantation

Brazilian Journal of Transplantation, 2023
Background: In the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) system, the use of livers from rescue allocation (RA), those refused for the first five of the ranking, have conflicting results in the literature. Objective: Analysis of the characteristics of

Lung Allograft Epithelium DNA Methylation Age Is Associated With Graft Chronologic Age and Primary Graft Dysfunction

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Advanced donor age is a risk factor for poor survival following lung transplantation. However, recent work identifying epigenetic determinants of aging has shown that biologic age may not always reflect chronologic age and that stressors can accelerate ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Non-invasive monitoring of renal transplant recipients: Urinary excretion of soluble adhesion molecules and of the complement-split product C4d [PDF]

, 2003
Background: The number of inducible adhesion molecules known to be involved in cell-mediated allograft rejection is still increasing. In addition, recent data describe complement activation during acute humoral allograft rejection.

The Aging Blood: Cellular Origins, Circulating Drivers, and Therapeutic Potential

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
As a conduit linking all organs, the blood system both reflects and actively drives systemic aging. This review highlights how circulating pro‐aging and antiaging factors and age‐associated hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction contribute to immunosenescence and multi‐organ decline, positioning the hematopoietic system as a target for aging intervention.
