A skin autograft is described as the transfer of without aid a blood supply from donor location to recipient site. The epidermis and portions underlying dermis are transferred using split-thickness grafts (STSGs). whole layer harvested for full-thickness (FTSGs) used transplant. installation methods usage STSGs discussed above. Graft movement, which impedes neovascularization promotes fluid acc...

The clinical importance of bone marrow transplantation has increased considerably in recent decades. More than 450 centers for bone marrow transplantation now exist worldwide, performing more than 5000 transplantations per year. The number of transplant centers and patients has increased dramatically in Turkey in the last several years. When transplant donor and recipient are different individu...

The best treatment option for chronic renal failure is kidney transplant [1] whose success depends on donor-recipient human leukocyte antigens (HLA) compatibility [2]. The risk of transplant rejection is much lower once there is a blood relationship between donor and recipient. Therefore, family donor kidney transplant (FDKT) is among the most ideal treatment options which significantly improve...

One of the newest methods to reduce cerebral ischemia damages is cell therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sertoli cell transplantation on ischemia-induced injuries in animal models of stroke. Rats were divided into four groups: transplant+ischemia, ischemia, sham, and control. Sertoli cells were separated from the other testis of rats and cultured. Unilateral Sertoli cel...

Background: HLA compatibility between transplant donor and recipient is one of the major determinants of transplant outcome. Objective: To determine HLA class I by PCR- Sequence-Specific Oligonucleotide Probe (PCR-SSOP) in cord blood donors. Methods: Genomic DNA of 142 cord blood samples registered at the Cord Blood Bank of Iran at Hematology, Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplantation Researc...

Transplant arteriosclerosis is the main limitation for long-term survival of solid organ transplant recipients. Animal models would provide invaluable tools to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of transplant arteriosclerosis, as well as for studies with novel drugs and other reagents for the prevention of the disease. We have therefore developed a mod...

This clinical practice guideline addresses access to kidney transplantation together with the evaluation, selection and preparation of the potential kidney transplant recipient. Guidance on the medical management of the kidney transplant recipient is provided in another module of the Renal Association guidelines available at www.renal.org. Readers should refer to the joint British Society for H...

BACKGROUND Genetic association studies of transplantation outcomes have been hampered by small samples and highly complex multifactorial phenotypes, hindering investigations of the genetic architecture of a range of comorbidities which significantly impact graft and recipient life expectancy. We describe here the rationale and design of the International Genetics & Translational Research in Tra...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a potential precursor of post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in the pediatric transplant patient. Positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging is increasingly utilized in this population to monitor for neoplasia and PTLD. We assess the association between EBV serum titers and Waldeyer's ring and cervical lymph node P...
