Abstract

To observe and research clinical characteristics and curative effect and safety of renal transplantation from living elderly donors donating kidneys. Retrospective study on the 19 living kidney donors who were over 55 years old and on the renal transplantation operations completed by our center for the past few years. Among the 19 donors, with an average age of 58 years old. Their mean creatinine clearance was 81.7 +/- 2.2 ml/min. Among the 19 acceptors, with an average age of 34 years old. All kidney before the open circulation transplant performed routine 0 point puncture and histological examination. All donors smoothly spent their perioperative period without any surgical complications. All the donors keep their blood Cr in a normal range one week after the operation. There was no significant difference between posttransplantation one week and six month and one year in blood Cr and Ccr. Blood pressure and blood sugar didn't not have significant changes, urine protein(-). All receptors' renal functions recovered in early stages without DGF. 7 receptors who had Ccr lower than 80 ml/min had their blood Cr decreased slowly. Among the 19 kidneys donated, 3 donors' glomerulosclerosises were higher than 10 percent. The kidney sour...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
