In a series of 27 recipients of cadaver kidney grafts, 26 were at the time of writing alive, 3 to 25 months after transplantation, and 25 patients were alive with functioning first grafts. The one-year patient survival in 18 patients was 94% and the one-year graft survival was 89%. There was no beneficial correlation between tissue matching and the frequency of major early rejection episodes or...

Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) after transplantation is a mix of pre-existing disorders and new alterations. The final consequences are reflected fundamentally as abnormal mineral metabolism (hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia) alterations [high or low turnover disease (as fibrous osteitis adynamic disease), an eventual compromise mineralization, decrease density fractures]...

Introduction/Aim: Disease relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is one of the most common and severe post complications represents leading cause treatment failure patient death. The aim this study to assess frequency types relapse, in relation time occurrence; analyze influence conditioning regimens on review therapeutic options occurrence relapse; prognos...

Ag-specific precursor frequency is increasingly being appreciated as an important factor in determining the kinetics, magnitude, and degree of differentiation of T cell responses, and recently was found to play a critical role in determining the relative requirement of CD8(+) T cells for CD28- and CD154-mediated costimulatory signals during transplantation. We addressed the possibility that var...

The affinity determination original analogue cyphetrylin SSTRs transplanted mice mammary adenocarcinoma Ca-755. Materials and methods. Cyphetrylin was synthesized Chemical Synthesis Laboratory Research Institute Experimental Diagnostics ...

Background: Depression is the most common psychological problem in patients with chronic renal failure, which has a negative effect on the outcome of treatment and life quality. The aim of this study was to compare the symptoms of depression in patients referring to the Kidney Transplant Unit of Babol Shahid Beheshti Hospital before transplantation, at discharge and three months after transplan...
