In a multidatabase system schematic con icts between two objects are usually of inter est only when the objects have some semantic a nity In this paper we try to reconcile the two perspectives We rst de ne the concept of semantic proximity and provide a semantic taxonomy We then enumerate and classify the schematic and data con icts We discuss possible semantic similarities between two objects ...

• ABO-incompatible kidney transplant requires extensive preconditioning for desensitization and immunosuppression. Early graft function is affected by ischemic-reperfusion injury involving immune systems. We retrospectively examined a single-institution database to assess the factors associated with early function. Prolonged cold ischemic time ABO incompatibility in living donor transplantation...

INTRODUCTION — The evidence that antigens of the HLA system provide the major barrier to acceptance of renal transplants was first obtained with living-related donor transplants. Graft survival was superior in sibling pairs having both the same serologically defined HLA antigens and a nonreactive in vitro mixed lymphocyte proliferative response when compared to randomly matched cadaveric donors...

BACKGROUND ABO blood type incompatibility between a donor and recipient is generally considered a contraindication to kidney transplantation. CASE CHARACTERISTICS A 12-year-old boy presented with end stage renal disease (blood group B), with the only healthy available donor being mother (blood group AB). The child received renal transplant with mother as the donor, with a designed desensitiza...

Grafting, an old plant propagation practice, is still widely used with fruit trees and in recent decades also with vegetables. Taxonomic proximity is a general prerequisite for successful graft-take and long-term survival of the grafted, composite plant. However, the mechanisms underlying interspecific graft incompatibility are as yet insufficiently understood. Hormonal signals, auxin in partic...

The purpose of this study was to define the incidence, dynamics, and profiles of anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies (HLA-Abs) produced after kidney transplantation and their impact on graft outcome. A total of 72 first cadaver donor kidney recipients were prospectively monitored for the development of HLA-Abs using bead-based flow-cytometry assays (One Lambda FlowPRA tests). Sixteen recipi...
