BACKGROUND: Acute allograft rejection is a well-known complication of liver transplantation (LT). The incidence, epidemiology and outcomes of acute rejection have not been well-described in Australia. METHODS: We retrospectively studied consecutive adults who underwent deceased-donor LT at a single centre between 2010-2020. Donor and recipient data at time of LT and recipient outcomes were collected from a prospective LT database. Liver biopsy reports were reviewed and only a graft's first instance of biopsy-proven acute rejection was analysed...

Background Renal insufficiency, a critical concern in native and transplant kidneys, necessitates effective screening modalities for evaluation and management. Grayscale sonography has been a cornerstone in renal diagnostics, providing basic anatomical insights such as renal length, cortical thickness, and collecting system dilatation. Despite technological advancements, its impact on the differential diagnosis or management of renal disease remains limited, often showing normal findings in the presence of severe renal dysfunction...

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can cure malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. From 1983 to 2022, Taiwan performed more than 10,000 HSCT transplants. The Taiwan Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry collects clinical information to gather everyone's experience and promote the advances of HSCT in Taiwan to gather everyone's experience and promote advances of HSCT in Taiwan. Compared with matched sibling donors, transplants from matched unrelated donors exhibited a trend of superior survival...

Although multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplasm that leads affected individuals to death, little is known about why some patients survive much longer than others. In this context, we investigated the transcriptomic profile of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells obtained from MM patients and compared the clinical outcomes of death and survival six months after bone marrow transplantation. The leukapheresis products of 39 patients with MM eligible for autologous transplantation were collected and analyzed. After extraction, the RNA was analyzed using the GeneChip Human Exon 1...

Data on recent bone marrow harvest collections from the NMDP has shown that bone marrow quality has decreased based on total nucleated cell count in the product. To ensure that quality bone marrow products are available to all recipients, the NMDP Marrow Alliance was formed in April of 2021 to increase the ability for bone marrow collection centers to safely deliver high-quality products consistently and to identify and disseminate guidelines for performing bone marrow harvests. This White Paper describes the best practices of performing a bone marrow harvest as defined by the NMDP Marrow Alliance...

AIM: New-onset diabetes mellitus is a frequent and severe complication arising after liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to identify the risk factors for new-onset diabetes mellitus after liver transplantation (NODALT) and to develop a risk prediction score system for relevant risks. METHODS: We collected and analyzed data from all recipients who underwent liver transplantation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The OR derived from a multiple logistic regression predicting the presence of NODALT was used to calculate the risk prediction score...

BACKGROUND: Delayed graft function (DGF) is an important complication after kidney transplantation surgery. The present study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for preoperative prediction of DGF on the basis of clinical and histological risk factors. METHODS: The prediction model was constructed in a development cohort comprising 492 kidney transplant recipients from May 2018 to December 2019. Data regarding donor and recipient characteristics, pre-transplantation biopsy results, and machine perfusion parameters were collected, and univariate analysis was performed...

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is a critical therapy for haematological malignancy but may lead to acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD). T-cell depletion with alemtuzumab, either in vivo or ex vivo, reduces the incidence of GvHD but is a risk factor for disease relapse and poor immune reconstitution. Natural killer (NK) cells are the first lymphocytes to recover. Classical NK cells make up >90% of the normal circulating population and can directly kill neoplastic or virally infected cells while the regulatory subset makes up <10%, secretes cytokines and is not cytotoxic...

Skin, the largest organ of body, is a highly immunogenic tissue with a diverse collection of immune cells. Highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules have a central role in coordinating immune responses as recognition molecules. Nevertheless, HLA gene expression patterns among diverse cell types within a specific organ, like the skin, have yet to be thoroughly investigated, with stromal cells attracting much less attention than immune cells. To illustrate HLA expression profiles across different cell types in the skin, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses on skin datasets, covering adult and fetal skin, and hair follicles as the skin appendages...

Arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) have emerged as the preferred option for constructing hemodialysis access in numerous patients. Clinical trials have demonstrated that decellularized vascular graft exhibits superior patency and excellent biocompatibility compared to polymer materials; however, it still faces challenges such as intimal hyperplasia and luminal dilation. The absence of suitable animal models hinders our ability to describe and explain the pathological phenomena above and in vivo adaptation process of decellularized vascular graft at the molecular level...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a prevalent complication of liver transplantation, partial hepatectomy, and severe infection, necessitating the development of more effective clinical strategies. Receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor adapter family, has been implicated in numerous physiological and pathological processes. The study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of RAMP1 in HIRI. METHODS: We established a 70% liver ischemia-reperfusion model in RAMP1 knockout (KO) and wild-type mice...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Historical paired liver biopsy studies are likely to underestimate current progression of disease in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We aimed to assess liver disease progression according to the non-invasive Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index in patients with chronic HCV and early disease. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients diagnosed with chronic HCV and FIB-4 <3.25 from four international liver clinics were included in a retrospective cohort study...

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of pre-leukemic hematopoietic disorders characterized by cytopenia in peripheral blood due to ineffective hematopoiesis and normo- or hypercellularity and morphologic dysplasia in bone marrow (BM). An inflammatory BM microenvironment and programmed cell death of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are thought to be the major causes of ineffective hematopoiesis in MDS. Pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis (collectively, PANoptosis) are observed in BM tissues of MDS patients, suggesting an important role of PANoptosis in MDS pathogenesis...
