Transplantation. 2008 May 27;85(10):1489-95 Authors: Devos T, Shengqiao L, Gysemans C, Yan Y, Damme BV, Nelson-Holte M, Billiau AD, Waer M, Mathieu C BACKGROUND: Xenograft rejection can be provoked by both the innate and adaptive immune compartments and close reciprocal interactions exist between these two systems. We investigated the interdependent roles of T and B lymphocytes in vascularized (heart) and cellular (islet) xenograft rejection in a model with established xeno-nonreactivity of the innate immune system. METHODS: Specific innate xenotolerance was induced in nude rats bearing either a hamster heart or a hamster pancreatic islet graft by a tolerizing regimen consisting of donor antigen infusion, temporary natural killer cell depletion and a 4-week administration of leflunomide. One month after transplantation, syngeneic CD4 and CD8 T cells were adoptively transferred. RESULTS: Both vascular and cellular xenografts were rejected after CD4 T cell reconstitution, corresponding with production of high IgM and IgG xenoantibody titers. Deposition of xenoantibodies and complement was seen in the heart but not in the islet xenografts. After infusion of CD8 T cells, xenohearts underwent a delayed type of rejection without xenoantibody production and xenoislets were not reje ...

Related Articles Behavior of hippocampal stem/progenitor cells following Grafting into the injured aged hippocampus. J Neurosci Res. 2008 Jul 10; Authors: Shetty AK, Rao MS, Hattiangady B Multipotent neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) from the embryonic hippocampus are potentially useful as donor cells to repopulate the degenerated regions of the aged hippocampus after stroke, epilepsy, or Alzheimer's disease. However, the efficacy of the NSC Grafting strategy for repairing the injured aged hippocampus is unknown. To address this issue, we expanded FGF-2-responsive NSCs from the hippocampus of embryonic day 14 green fluorescent protein-expressing transgenic mice as neurospheres in vitro and grafted them into the hippocampus of 24-month-old F344 rats 4 days after CA3 region injury. Engraftment, migration, and neuronal/glial differentiation of cells derived from NSCs were analyzed 1 month after Grafting. Differentiation of neurospheres in culture dishes or after placement on organotypic hippocampal slice cultures demonstrated that these cells had the ability to generate considerable numbers of neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Following Grafting into the injured aged hippocampus, cells derived from neurospheres survived and dispersed, but exhibited no directed migration into degenerated or intact hippocampal cell layers. Phenotypic analyses of graft-derived cells revealed neuronal differentiation in 3%-5% of cells, astrocytic ...

Related Articles Postoperative delirium and health related quality of life after coronary artery bypass Grafting. Scand Cardiovasc J. 2008 Mar 4;:1-8 Authors: Loponen P, Luther M, Wistbacka JO, Nissinen J, Sintonen H, Huhtala H, Tarkka MR Objectives. We wanted to identify determinants for postoperative delirium and its influence on health related quality of life (HRQoL) during 36-month follow-up of coronary artery bypass (CABG) patients. Design. A total of 302 patients were retrospectively analyzed. HRQoL was assessed prospectively by the15D instrument. Delirium was diagnosed clinically. Results. The incidence of delirium was 6.0%. The cumulative survival (all-cause death) in 36 months was 96.1% in patients without delirium and 77.8% in patients with delirium. Age, cerebral disease, chronic heart failure, male gender, postoperative pneumonia and low output syndrome were predictors for delirium. Delirium patients needed more resources i.e. intensive care or total duration of hospitalization and experienced no positive change in HRQoL. Moreover patients with high preoperative 15D score tended to suffer fairly severe but reversible impairment during the first 6 months after the operation. Conclusions. Preoperatively older and sicker patients with complicated postoperative course are at higher risk of developing delirium after CABG. Preoperative status and operative complications together with delirium may exert negative influence on forth ...

Related Articles Umbilical Grafting in treatment of recurrent stomal stenosis. Urology. 2008 Jun;71(6):1124-7 Authors: Levi D'Ancona CA, Miyaoka R, Ikari LY, Nunes PH OBJECTIVES: The continent catheterizable conduit was first described by Mitrofanoff and is a good option for treating patients with urinary incontinence of different etiologies and those unable to perform transurethral self-catheterization. Stomal stenosis is the most common minor complication involved in this procedure and often is not an easily dealt with problem. Stenosis has a tendency to recur, and the surgical approach becomes progressively more difficult because of local fibrosis and retraction. We present our initial experience with a new surgical technique involving umbilical Grafting for the treatment of stomal and urethral meatal stenosis. METHODS: Four female patients who presented with either recurrent stomal or urethral meatal stenosis underwent a new surgical approach with umbilical Grafting for treatment. We present the results of this new technique. RESULTS: The initial clinical results of this innovative technique, at a median of 4 months of follow-up, showed that all 4 patients remained continent and mostly satisfied with their voiding pattern. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study have shown that umbilical Grafting is a viable option for the treatment of recurrent stomal and urethral stenosis.

Related Articles Effects of intravenous N-acetylcysteine on periprocedural myocardial injury after on-pump coronary artery by-pass Grafting. J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2008 Aug;49(4):527-31 Authors: Peker O, Peker T, Erdogan D, Ozaydin M, Kapan S, Sutcu R, Ibrisim E AIM: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in patients undergoing coronary artery by-pass Grafting (CABG) involves the reperfusion-induced conversion of reversible injured myocardial and endothelial cells. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has a potential being the minimization of the impact of reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intravenous NAC on periprocedural myocardial injury after CABG. METHODS: The population of this prospective-randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study consisted of 40 patients undergoing on-pump CABG. All the patients were treated with standard medical therapy and eligible patients were randomized to NAC group (N.=19; intravenous infusion for 1 hour before the procedure at a dose of 50 mg/kg, followed by intravenous infusion for 48 hours after the operation at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day) and placebo (saline) group (N.=21). The study drug and placebo infusions were set to infuse at the same rate. RESULTS: Demographic and procedural variables were similar in the both groups (All P>0.05). Creatine kinase MB isoform (CK-MB) mass levels did not significantly differ between the groups at both preoperative and postoperativ ...

Abstract   Electron beam radiation induced Grafting of acrylic acid (AA) and sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) onto high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes was investigated by the pre-irradiation method, and a cation-exchange membrane containing bifunctional groups was synthesized. The effects of Grafting conditions such as monomer concentration, radiation dose and temperature on Grafting yield were studied. The dependence of Grafting yield on pre-irradiation dose and monomer concentration was found to be 0.54 and 2.21, respectively. The activation energy for the Grafting was calculated to be 22.2 kJ/mol. Infrared spectroscopy analysis of the grafted membrane confirmed the existence of sulfonate and carboxylic acid groups.
