To determine statistically significant risk factors for delayed renal graft function. To assess the impact of delayed kidney graft function on the development of other complications, graft and recipient survival.Material and methods. In 237 consecutive kidney transplant recipients (from June 2018 to December 2021), we assessed its function in the early postoperative period. Delayed function was considered to be the need for hemodialysis in the first week after surgery. Among the donor factors, the type of donor, age, body mass index, the presence of vasopressor support, the time the donor was in intensive care, and the maximum level of creatinine during the follow-up were evaluated. Recipient risk factors include age, gender, body mass index, presence/absence and amount of urine, presence of preformed anti-HLA antibodies and/or repeated kidney transplantation, number of mismatches for six HLA antigens, number of mismatches for HLA-DR, presence and type of renal replacement therapy, etiology of end stage kidney disease. Among the perioperative risk factors are the duration of cold preservation, the time of second warm ischemia, the volume of intraoperative blood loss, the intraoperatively determined renal arterial resistive index of the renal graft, and the maximum concentration of tacrolimus in the first 4 days after kidney transplantation. After that the relationship between the presence of delayed kidney graft function and the development of early postoperative complications was assessed and its effect on the long-term survival of grafts and recipients was analyzed.Results. Out of 237 cases, 9 showed no function of the transplanted kidney, and therefore the grafts were removed. The incidence of delayed renal graft function was 24.5% (58/237). According to the results of a univariate analysis, a statistically significant relationship with the development of delayed kidney graft function had donor body mass index (p=0.019), male gender of the recipient (p=0.048), recipient body mass index (p=0.038), amount of urine (p=0.003), anuria (p=0.002), presence of preformed antibodies (p=0.025), repeated transplantation (p=0.002), time of second warm ischemia (p=0.036), intraoperative renal arterial resistive index (p=0.004) and maximum tacrolimus concentration in the first 4 days (p=0.022). In the multivariate model, donor body mass index >30 kg/m2 and peak tacrolimus concentration >23 ng/mL in the first 4 days were statistically significant (p=0.018 and p=0.025, respectively). A trend towards statistical significance was noted in the presence of oligoanuria before kidney transplantation (p=0.066) and resistance index >0.75 after surgery (p=0.056). One-year renal transplant survival in the absence and presence of delayed kidney graft function was 92.4% and 87.7%, two-year survival was 89.4% and 76.1%, respectively.

Cytomegalovirus infection has different impact on patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. For instance, acute and chronic graft versus host disease may also be the risk factors for the development of cytomegalovirus infection. There is also information about the influence of cytomegalovirus infection on a graft failure. We also know that cytomegalovirus replication is associated with lower relapse risk in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia.Antiviral prophylaxis and preemptive therapy are good strategies to reduce the risk of the cytomegalovirus infection.

However, despite the considerable potential of transplantation as often the only therapy for severe diseases, the toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs supporting the transplant remains a serious problem for its further development. Modification of immune response in order to form tolerance to the transplanted organ can play an important role on the way to minimize immunosuppression. Successful cases of withdrawal of immunosuppressive drugs for medical reasons in kidney and liver transplantation recorded in the literature, as well as the results obtained in the process of modeling such a situation in the experiment, prove that achieving tolerance in organ transplantation is fundamentally possible.The aim of this review is to investigate the ways of immunologic suppression and fundamental mechanisms of immunologic tolerance in the field of transplantation and to review the latest clinical achievements in this respect.The review describes various approaches to the induction of central tolerance in solid organ transplantation implemented in the framework of the original clinical protocols. Special attention is given to a new direction in transplantation medicine – cell technologies providing tolerogenic effect by means of peripheral mechanisms activation, in particular due to activation of suppressor function of regulatory T cells.We draw the attention to the advantages and disadvantages of these two trends. Which of them is preferable? In which direction will scientific thought be developed for realization of the long-term goal of transplantologists: to avoid allograft rejection without affecting the physiological homeostasis of the body? Possible answers to these questions are discussed in this review.","PeriodicalId":23229,"journal":{"name":"Transplantologiya.

The preparation technology provides for the removal of all cellular components from the plasma, so it becomes possible to store the obtained graft for a long time. The procedure for the preparation of platelet lysate allows the simultaneous isolation of all growth factors from the cells, since the platelet lysis occurs. Lysate of platelet concentrates can be considered as a preparation that contains a complete set of stimulating growth factors. Under the influence of the lysate, the proliferation of latent osteoblasts is resumed, the signaling pathways of angiogenesis are activated, the secretion of the factors accelerating angiogenesis is stimulated, the differentiation of osteoblasts and the formation of bone tissue are triggered. The aim of this article is to summarize the results of treatment using autologous platelet lysate to improve bone regenerative potential in orthopaedics.

To assess the effectiveness of nitric oxide in the intra- and early postoperative period in bilateral lung transplantation.Material and methods. We examined 43 patients who underwent bilateral lung transplantation at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in the period from 2012-2021. The patients were divided into two groups. The study group consisted of 23 patients, whose complex of treatment included the use of inhaled nitric oxide. Patients in the comparison group (n=20) received a standard therapy. The end points of the study were: the mechanical ventilation duration, the frequency of using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and its duration, mortality, dynamics of oxygenation index, blood lactate level, pH, base deficiency.Results. The use of inhaled nitric oxide therapy in patients in the intra- and early postoperative period during lung transplantation improved the ventilation-perfusion ratio, as evidenced by an increase in the oxygenation index by 1.1 times (p=0.128) and 1.3 times (p=0.026) at 48 and 72 hours after surgery, respectively. Meanwhile, the frequency of using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during surgery was found to decrease by 1.2 times (p=0.033), and that after surgery decreased by 1.4 times (p=0.474); the mechanical ventilation duration decreased by 1.4 times (p=0.042); the duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decreased by 1.6 times (p=0.028); mortality reduced by 8%.Conclusion. The use of inhaled nitric oxide therapy for lung transplantation had a positive effect on the intra- and early postoperative period, as indicated by an improvement in blood gas parameters, a reduction in the frequency and duration of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and the duration of mechanical ventilation.","PeriodicalId":23229,"journal":{"name":"Transplantologiya.

Among the growing number of patients with chronic renal failure who need dialysis therapy or kidney transplantation, a significant proportion are people over 60 years old, making from 30 to 45% of all patients who need dialysis, according to various sources. The elderly age of the recipient contributes to the risk of developing graft dysfunction due to the presence of concomitant diseases that worsen the immediate and long-term results of transplantation. And the probability of receiving a kidney graft in elderly patients is significantly lower than in young recipients. One of the ways to solve this problem is to use kidneys from suboptimal donors.Material and methods. The analysis of clinical examinations, laboratory and instrumental test results obtained in 124 patients who underwent cadaveric kidney allotransplantation at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine, including that from suboptimal donors, was carried out. Of these, 69 (55.6%) recipients aged 60 years and older were included in the main group (group 1), and 55 recipients younger than 60 years (44.4%) in the comparison group (group 2).Results. Kidney transplantation to elderly patients (aged 60 years and older), including from a suboptimal donor, provides a sufficiently high efficiency with a 1-year recipient survival rate of 98.6% and a functioning graft for 1 year in 75.4% of cases, which does not differ from the survival rate of younger recipients (98.2%), but is inferior by the case rate of keeping the graft functioning (91.9%). Meanwhile, the parameters characterizing the functional state of the transplanted organs that maintained their function for 1 year did not differ statistically significantly between elderly and younger recipients.Conclusions. The results of the study showed that kidney transplantation from suboptimal donors to patients of the older age group provides acceptable results with low mortality of recipients and a 1-year functioning of the graft in 75% of cases. This makes it possible to increase the availability of kidney transplantation for patients of the older age group and achieve better survival results, provided adequate selection of recipients and an objective assessment of the quality of transplanted organs.","PeriodicalId":23229,"journal":{"name":"Transplantologiya.

The refinement of liver transplantation technique, the development and implementation of new surgical technologies into clinical practice, including those for inferior vena cava reconstruction, are important for the improvement of surgery outcomes.The study purposes were to present our own modification of cavocavostomy and options for its technical implementation in deceased donor liver transplantation, as well as to study the clinical effects and the impact of new surgical technique on the outcomes.Material and methods. A retrospective, single-centre study included the data from 109 consecutive deceased donor liver transplantations performed between 2012 and 2021. In 106 procedures, inferior vena cava reconstruction was performed either according to the classic technique (group 1, n=23, 22%), or using our own modification of cavocavostomy (group 2, n=83, 78%). To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the new surgical technique, we compared the characteristics of donors and recipients, intraoperative parameters, features of early postoperative course, incidence of surgical complications, initial function, immediate and long-term graft survival. Three piggyback procedures were not included in the comparative analysis.Results. Two groups were generally comparable in terms of the characteristics of donors and recipients, however, the classic inferior vena cava was significantly more often used during transplants for unresectable parasitic liver lesions (17% vs. 1%, p=0.008) and retransplantations (30% vs. 5%, p=0.002). There were no statistically significant differences in the main intraoperative parameters between groups 1 and 2. The duration of transplantations was 8.0 h (interquartile range: 6.5–8.5 h) and 7.0 h (interquartile range: 6.0–8.0 h), p=0.112; anhepatic phase lasted 70 min (interquartile range: 60–75 min) and 70 min (interquartile range: 59–90 min), p=0.386; warm ischemia time was 45 min (interquartile range: 38–52 min) and 45 min (interquartile range: 38–50 min), p=0.690; inferior vena cava was clamped for 47 min (interquartile range: 40–55 min) and 50 min (interquartile range: 40–55 min), p=0.532. The volumes of intraoperatively transfused blood components were, respectively: packed red cells 630 ml (interquartile range: 0–1280 ml) and 600 ml (interquartile range: 0–910 ml), p=0.262; blood reinfusion 770 ml (interquartile range: 360–1200 ml) and 700 ml (interquartile range: 0–1200 ml), p=0.370; fresh frozen plasma 2670 ml (interquartile range: 2200 and 3200 ml) and 2240 ml (interquartile range: 1880–2900 ml), p=0.087.When using classic caval reconstruction technique, the proportion of grafts with early dysfunction was higher: 44% vs. 17% (p=0.011), due to the higher rate of retransplantations in this group. The incidence of acute kidney injury (by RIFLE > I) was 35% and 19% (p=0.158), the need for renal replacement therapy was 22% and 15% (p=0.520) in group 1 and group 2, respectively.
