Abstract

1. In 1984, second graft survival rates were 10% lower than first grafts, but in 1992, the survival difference was reduced to 1%. Multiple grafts in 1984 were 23% lower than first grafts, but showed only a 7% difference in 1992. In 1992, 12% of kidney grafts were performed into second graft recipients and 3% into multiple graft recipients. 2. If first grafts survived one to 12 months posttransplant, the second graft survival was less than if they had survived longer than 12 months, as seen in many previous analyses. Here we showed that patients with a first graft duration of one to 12 months had a higher incidence of sensitization than patients with a first graft duration of more than 12 months. This may indicate that immunization was the cause of failure more frequently among those patients who rejected earlier than later. 3. Since 1989, the interval between first graft rejection and second graft transplantation was not a factor in second graft survival. A strong correlation was noted between high PRA and interval to regrafting. This probably reflects the increasing difficulty in finding negative-crossmatch donors as PRA increases. 4. Repeat mismatches for HLA-DR were deleterious to second grafts, although repeat mismatches fo...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.
