Non-Invasive Imaging of Acute Renal Allograft Rejection in Rats Using Small Animal 18F-FDG-PET
BACKGROUND At present, renal grafts are the most common solid organ transplants world-wide. Given the importance of renal transplantation and the limitation of available donor kidneys, detailed analysis of factors that affect transplant survival are important. Despite the introduction of new and effective immunosuppressive drugs, acute cellular graft rejection (AR) is still a major risk for gra...
متن کاملSPECT- and PET-Based Approaches for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Acute Renal Allograft Rejection
Molecular imaging techniques such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography are promising tools for noninvasive diagnosis of acute allograft rejection (AR). Given the importance of renal transplantation and the limitation of available donors, detailed analysis of factors that affect transplant survival is important. Episodes of acute allograft rejecti...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
18F-FDG PET for semiquantitative evaluation of acute allograft rejection and immunosuppressive therapy efficacy in rat models of liver transplantation.
UNLABELLED Acute allograft rejection remains a major complication after liver transplantation. We report a semiquantitative imaging method of detecting acute allograft rejection with (18)F-FDG PET. METHODS Syngeneic and allogeneic transplanted rats, with or without immunosuppressive treatment, were subjected to serial PET. Autoradiography of the liver was conducted in both the syngeneic and t...
متن کاملTreatment of acute renal allograft rejection with OKT3 monoclonal antibody.
Eight cadaver donor renal allograft recipients, who had received azathioprine and prednisone from the day of transplantation, were treated with OKT3 monoclonal antibody (reactive with all mature peripheral blood T cells) at the time of diagnosis of acute rejection. In all cases, loss of essentially all detectable peripheral blood OKT3-reactive cells was noted within minutes after the initial 1-...
