Graft-infiltrating host dendritic cells play a key role in organ transplant rejection
Successful engraftment of organ transplants has traditionally relied on preventing the activation of recipient (host) T cells. Once T-cell activation has occurred, however, stalling the rejection process becomes increasingly difficult, leading to graft failure. Here we demonstrate that graft-infiltrating, recipient (host) dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in driving the rejection of transpl...
متن کاملTolerance in Solid-Organ Transplant.
Immunotolerance, which is nonimmunologic reactivity to specific tissue, was demonstrated in animals in the 1950s. However, despite assiduous efforts, it has not been reproduced in human solid-organ transplant to date. Fortuitously, clinical operational tolerance, which is stable graft function for > 1 year with no immunosuppression, has been demonstrated, primarily in a few nonadherent recipien...

متن کاملArthroplasty in organ transplant patients
The number of solid organ transplants performed in the United States continues to increase annually as does survival after transplant. These unique patients are increasingly likely to present to arthroplasty surgeons for elective hip or knee replacement secondary to a vascular necrosis from chronic immunosuppression, or even age-related development of osteoarthritis. Transplant recipients have ...
متن کاملTHE PIVOTAL ROLE OF CRANIAL NERVER DECOMPRESSION
Reported are a total of 81 microsurgical operations for cranial nerve root decompression comprising of 66 trigeminal, 10 facial, one vestibular, one vagus and three accessory nerve dysfunction syndromes from 1983 to 1990. Almost all cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TNG) secondary to vascular (59 cases) and minute mass (10 cases) compression, and those with hemifacial spasm (HFS) (nine out o...
