At the Research and Production Center of Transfusion platelet production have mainly supported (about 99%) by apheresis. However, apheresis donations have limitations caused by donor fitness due to both their preferences and their platelet pre-count validity. So, it is important to maintain of single donor high-dose plateletpheresis by improving its efficacy and safety. The aim of study was to ...

We have used DNA hybridization techniques employing restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to quantitate the level of donor cell engraftment in bone marrow transplantation recipients. The genetic origin of the bone marrow cells and various peripheral blood populations was analyzed in 14 patients. We found at least one informative polymorphism for each donor-recipient pair. Additional...

BACKGROUND After HLA-identical living-related (LR) kidney transplantation, only non-HLA antigen mismatches between donor and recipient may exist. We questioned whether donor-reactive responses against non-HLA antigens could be found after HLA-identical LR kidney transplantation, and wondered whether donor reactivity in the HLA-identical setting was different from the HLA-mismatched setting duri...

This article investigates the relationship between grandparents and lesbian daughters in the context of childbirth, looking specifically at the role that pregnancy plays in shaping kinship affinities. Gender, sex, and heterosexuality are fundamental to Euro-American kinship discourse and practice; lesbian couples' parenthood through donor conception represents a significant departure from preva...

cord blood is a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells and could be potentially used for transplantation instead of conventional sources of stem cells (bone marrow or peripheral blood). cord blood cells are successfully used in pediatric and adult patients, but their major limitation is the low number of hematopoietic stem cells for patients of large body size. there are several possible solut...

objective(s) there are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (ir) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. the aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal ir. materials and methods inbred mice in ir donor group were subjected to renal ir injury. in sham donor ...
