Transplantation immunology: aspects of allo- and EBV-specific reactivity : the EBV non-infected elderly - factors of resistance [PDF]

, 2010
Defining the relevant components of cellular alloimmunity remains an important unresolved issue in clinical transplantation. The most promising marker of cellular alloreactivity available to date is donor-specific secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-) as ...

PLL‐g‐HPA Hydrogel Microneedles Loaded With Rhoifolin Target Macrophages to Alleviate Fibroblast Senescence for Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Diabetic wound healing is hindered by a pathological crosstalk wherein elevated IL‐11 induces M1 macrophage polarization, leading to IL‐1β/IL‐6 release and subsequent fibroblast senescence via RAS/p38MAPK/p53/E2F1 signaling. Here, we develop a Gel@M‐Rho microneedle patch that delivers rhoifolin‐loaded, macrophage membrane‐coated nanoparticles to target

Immunosuppressive drug interactions and resistance in mononuclear cells from renal transplant patients [PDF]

Existing anti-rejection drug regimes are inadequate since patients receive drugs despite serious side effects and poor response. New drugs are being developed which ultimately may allow for prescribing of rational, patient-specific immunosuppressive ...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication dynamics in HCMV-naive and -experienced immunocompromised hosts [PDF]

, 2002
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can infect both HCMV-naive and -experienced transplant patients. In this study, the growth rate of HCMV in HCMV-naive hosts (1.82 units/day; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-2.56 units/day) was shown to be significantly ...

Computed Tomography‐ and Photoacoustic Imaging‐Active Bioresorbable Electrospun Bismuth Nanoparticle‐Infused Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A polymeric graft loaded with radiopaque bismuth nanoparticles is expected to undergo gradual polymer resorption and nanoparticle release. This design enables noninvasive, multimodal monitoring of device integrity, patency, and degradation using computed tomography alongside ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging over 12 weeks.

Pretransplantation assessment of BK virus seropositivity in kidney donors and recipients

Advances in Biomedical and Health Sciences
Background: BK virus (BKV) is a member of the polyomavirus family. The determination of anti-BKV immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels in kidney donors and recipients has been reported as a possible predictor of the risk of BK nephropathy.

Polyomavirus BK with rearranged noncoding control region emerge in vivo in renal transplant patients and increase viral replication and cytopathology [PDF]

, 2008
Immunosuppression is required for BK viremia and polyomavirus BK-associated nephropathy (PVAN) in kidney transplants (KTs), but the role of viral determinants is unclear.

Prevalence of Transfusion-transmitted Virus (TTV) Infection and its Association with Renal Post-transplantation Complications in Iran

International Journal of Organ Transplantation Medicine, 2018
Background: Transfusion-transmitted virus (TTV) is a single-stranded DNA virus. Renal transplant patients have a higher risk of TTV infection. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of TTV and its correlation with post-renal transplantation complications
