background: dendritic cells (dcs) are potent antigen presenting cells for triggering of the immune reaction post transplantation. these cells are centrally involved in the initiation of t cell-dependent immune responses. objective: to compare the level of dc maturation and function in liver transplant recipients with healthy controls. methods: in this study, twelve peripheral blood samples were...

backgrounds : new- onset diabetes after transplantation (nodat) is a serious complication which runs the risk of infections, morbidity and mortality. older age, male sex, immunosuppressive agents and hepatitis c are reported as risk factors. the focus of this research is evaluating some demographic and clinical factors in development of nodat in hepatic transplanted patients. this study aims to...

the immunosuppressive effect of antimacrophage serum (ams) on the primary immune response of mice to sheep red blood cells (srbc) was studied. ams, given before a small dose of antigen, abrogated the immune response. transplantation of normal, galss-adherent macrophages enabled ams-treated animals to respond to srbc, while administration of lymph node lymphocytes did not reveres ams - induced i...

oral mucosa can be affected in many systemic diseases such as chronic renal failure (crf). many metabolic and hematologic disorders develop in patients with crf which can also affect oral cavity. oral mucosa, teeth, salivary glands and jaw bones are affected. although hemodialysis can improve many of systemic features but the best treatment is renal transplantation. in addition to previous feat...

conclusions our study demonstrates that preconditioning of kidney with chronic ptu administration protects renal tissue against iri and this phenomenon was mediated through no system. the results suggest a potential indication for using ptu to protect the kidney before transplantations and to reduce the risk of tissue rejection afterwards. background renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (iri) is a...

background: autologous skin graft is frequently used in the field of plastic, and reconstructive surgery. the engraftment is dependent upon revascularization and angiogenesis, which can be regulated by different factors. in addition to its hematopoietic effects, erythropoietin is shown to positively affect the wound healing process. objectives: we studied effects of human erythropoietin on reva...

Aim: To evaluate the cardiovascular system functions biochemically and echocardiographically in renal transplant recipients before after transplantation.
 Materials Methods: Patients who were followed up Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Department Pediatric Nephrology diagnosed with CRF, underwent transplantation age 18 included study. A control group was formed from healthy volunteers...

In liver transplantation, a side-to-side anastomosis is one of the commonly performed techniques inferior vena cava reconstruction. The authors report case an application endoscopic vascular linear stapler for caval during deceased-donor transplantation. back table procedure was in standard fashion anastomosis. introduced temporary clamping recipient’s and created without problems. Suturing res...

Transplantation is a widely accepted and successful life-saving treatment for hundreds of thousands patients. However, transplant medicine still faces number obstacles. One the most significant large disparity between donors recipients growing need re-transplantation. In last two decades, improvement organization national transplantation program in Croatia have resulted steadily increasing dono...

Approximately 1,700 cases of renal transplantation are performed annually, and various diseases may occur due to long-term internal use postoperative immunosuppressants. We experienced a case cervical cancer, which is thought be human papillomavirus (HPV)-related after living kidney transplantation, underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.
