Sustained In Vivo Perfusion of a Re-Endothelialized Tissue Engineered Porcine Liver

Shennen A Mao, Jaime M Glorioso, Faysal M Elgilani, Silvana B De Lorenzo, Michael C Deeds, Dominique Seetapun, Brian Perrault, Bruce P Amiot, Anisha Singh, Clara T Nicolas, Yujia Wang, E Heidi Cheek, Taofic Mounajjed, Allan B Dietz, Jeff J Ross and Scott L Nyberg

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: June 12, 2017

Liver transplantation remains the only definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease. With only 6000 donor livers available each year nationally, the need far exceeds the supply. Innovative cell-based therapies, such as hepatic tissue engineering, offer alternatives to supplement the limited supply of quality organs for transplantation....

Strategies in Preventing Diabetes after Pancreatectomy Using Islet Auto- and Allo-Transplantation

Tori Tucker, Kevin Labadie, Christopher Kopan, Michael Alexander and Jonathan RT Lakey

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: May 15, 2017

Over the years, pancreatectomy has been the primary treatment for chronic pancreatitis. Since the 1970s, total pancreatectomy has been shown to be effective at relieving pain that was experienced due to chronic pancreatitis. However, total pancreatectomy alone has the significant side effect of post-surgical diabetes....

Distinctive CD8 T Cell Infiltration and Paucity of Regulatory T Cells in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host-Disease Lesions

Maria Claudia Rodrigues Moreira, Adriana Bonomo, Suzana A Pinheiro-da-Silva, Andrea Cordovil Pires, Rômulo Gonçalves Galvani, Daniela de Oliveira Pinto, Eliana Abdelhay and Maria Isabel Doria Rossi

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: April 15, 2017

Alterations in immune reconstitution have been implicated with the development of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) recipients. Since T cells are important mediators in this disease, the aim of this study was to search for a biologic marker for cGVHD moderate and severe forms....

Review of Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Incidence, Risk Factors and Impact on the Graft Survival

Fontsere S, Chacon N and Cordero E

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: April 13, 2017

Infectious complications remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality among transplant recipients. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infectious complication in kidney transplant recipients with a reported incidence of between 25%-75%. This varies widely likely due to differences in definition, diagnostic criteria, study design, and length of observation....

Case Report and Review of the Literature: Resolution of Lithium-Induced Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus with Pre-Emptive Living Related Kidney Transplantation for End-Stage Renal Disease

B Daniel Campos, Natalia Velez-Ramos, Stephanie M Smith, Colin Lenihan and Marc L Melcher

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 09, 2017

Long-term lithium therapy is known to cause renal dysfunction, including nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (nDI) and chronic tubulointerstitial nephropathy, which may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in approximately 1% of patients. We report a case of resolution of lithium-induced nDI following living related kidney transplantation for ESRD secondary to chronic lithium toxicity....
