this study was performed to determine the genetic diversity of hla class i and ii alleles among two ethnic groups in southeastern iran. hla profiles were determined in 71 iranian populations (41 zaboli and 30 baloch). the frequencies of hla-a02 (p=0.017), -cw4 (p=0.003), and -dr8 (p=0.025) in the zaboli populations were significantly higher than that in baloch ethnic group. in contrast, the fre...

Graft-vs.-host (GVH) reactions were performed in chicken embryos by intravenous injection of adult chicken blood dilutions, and the result was scored by weighing the spleens as well as by karyological identification of host and donor metaphases. From the frequency of detectable signs of GVH reaction when low doses of donor cells were injected into hosts containing one foreign allele of the B lo...

BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure is an important and common complication of diabetes mellitus; hence, renal transplantation is a frequent and the acceptable treatment in patients with diabetic nephropathy requiring renal replacement therapy. On the other hand, renal transplantation and its conventional treatment can lead to increased diabetes outbreak in normoglycemic recipients. Also, uncontro...

In heart transplantation (HTx) patients, routine surveillance endomyocardial biopsies (rsEMB) are recommended for the detection of early cardiac allograft rejection. However, there is no consensus on the optimal frequency of rsEMB. Frequent rsEMB have shown a low diagnostic yield in the new era of potent immunosuppressive regimen. Efficacy and safety of lower frequency rsEMB have not been inves...

Objective: To determine the frequency of medical complications after renal transplantation in recipients. Study Design: Prospective Cohort study. Setting: Nephrology Unit, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Period: December 2018 to March 2022. Material & Methods: All patients undergoing transplant during study period were included. Patients unwilling be part this or losing follow-ups ex...

We used stochastic modeling and computer simulation to study the replication, apoptosis, and differentiation of murine hemopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vivo. This approach allows description of the behavior of an unobserved population (ie, HSCs) on the basis of the behavior of observed progeny cells (ie, granulocytes and lymphocytes). The results of previous limiting-dilution, competitive-repop...

Objectives: Fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation has been reported as a viable treatment option for chondral lesions of the talus, but there is insufficient data regarding patients’ participation in sports or recreational activity following procedure. The purpose this study was to assess frequency patients who participated OCA talus. Methods: We identified 36 ankles 34 (70% well ...

We assessed clinical features as well as sensory and motor recoveries in 3 full-face transplantation patients. A frequency analysis was performed on facial surface electromyography data collected during 6 basic emotional expressions and 4 primary facial movements. Motor progress was assessed using the wavelet packet method by comparison against the mean results obtained from 10 healthy subjects...

Due to high incidence of kidney failure and ESRD cases, the need for better more effective treatments increases increase life span patients their quality life. One useful treatment methods in with severe renal is transplantation, which performed two ways: transplantation from a living donor cadaveric donor. Considering that almost most who are candidates transplant surgery young or middle-aged,...

This is an original research of penis allotransplantation. The paper presents an experiment allogenic penis transplantation model in Beagles, with a focus on recovery of blood supply and changes in tissue architecture. Twenty adult Beagles were allocated to 10 pairs for penile transplantation. After operation, the skin and glans were observed. If adverse symptoms occurred, the transplanted peni...
