MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1356 donor livers between 2016 and 2018, which were offered by Eurotransplant and were declined during the allocation process; 284 grafts were from donor after cardiac death (DCD) and 1072 donations were from after brain death (DBD). The analysis was performed independently and blinded by senior transplant surgeons. RESULTS There were 904 (66.6%) donor livers with potential to be evaluated as suitable grafts in machine perfusion, whereas 417 (30.8%) organs were definitely not-transplantable, mainly due to liver cirrhosis, (untreated) donor malignancy, cardiac diseases of the donor leading to a hepatic congestion, and/or systemic infections in the donor. Donors in blood group \"AB\" were disproportionally often rejected. Due to missing data, 35 (2.6%) organs could not be sufficiently evaluated.

It seems to be associated with nutritional status in the general population, but little is known about kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). This study aimed to explore the relationship between dietary balance index and serum Cys in KTRs. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 215 KTRs completed an FFQ questionnaire and information on serum Cys. Dietary intake was assessed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Dietary Balance Index 2016 (DBI-16) edition scores were calculated as an indicator of dietary quality. Data on the patient's serum Cys were obtained through the hospital information system. RESULTS The majority of KTRs were male (75.34%), 76.74% were aged 18-44 years, and 79.53% were abnormal serum Cys. Dairy (z=-2.161, P<0.05), meat (z=-2.578, P<0.05), and dietary diversity (z=-3.393, P<0.05) in the normal group were higher than those in the abnormal group, and the dietary quality distance (DQD) score (t=-2.264, P<0.05) was lower than that in the abnormal group. After adjusting for confounders, a low-quality diet was a risk factor for maintaining the normal level of serum Cys (OR 3.022, 95% CI 1.263-7.231, P<0.05).

GVHD diagnosis is usually based on clinical symptoms and pathologic confirmation. However, it is often misdiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms. Here, we report the detection of donor-cell chimerism using peripheral blood (PB) donor-derived deoxyribonucleic acid (ddDNA) for 3 cases with suspected GVHD after LT (GVHD-LT) through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay targeting 39 insertions and/or deletions of chromosomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The qPCR assay for detecting donor-cell chimerism was performed for 3 post-LT patients with suspected GVHD using KMRtype® and KMRtrack® assays (GenDx, Netherlands). The mean recipient/donor-cell fraction of informative markers unique to each recipient or donor was calculated. RESULTS In Case 1, who received living donor LT (LDLT) from his daughter, initial sign was diarrhea at post-operative day (POD) #23. Case 2 received unrelated deceased donor LT and initial sign was cytopenia at POD #29. Case 3 received LDLT from her son and GVHD associated cytopenia was developed at POD #80. Average PB ddDNA fractions in post-transplant samples of cases 1, 2, and 3 were 39.68%, 78.38%, and 4.76%, respectively.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio have been proposed as non-invasive predictors of acute rejection in stable kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to validate the predictive value of these ratios, as well as neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet ratios in the diagnosis of acute rejection during the early post-transplant period. MATERIAL AND METHODS After propensity score matching, we compared 71 kidney recipients with biopsy-proven acute rejection with 71 patients without rejection and also subjects with different histologic types of rejection. All 3 types of blood cell count-derived ratios were calculated 6 and 3 days prior to biopsy and on the day of biopsy. RESULTS There were 15 patients with T cell-mediated rejection, 33 with vascular rejection, and 23 with antibody-mediated rejection. The values of all examined ratios did not differ between subgroups with and without rejection. However, at all post-transplant study time-points, patients with antibody-mediated rejection had significantly higher values of all analyzed ratios than subjects with other types of rejection. In multivariate regression models, higher values of blood cell count-derived ratios were independently associated with the occurrence of antibody-mediated rejection. CONCLUSIONS In the early post-transplant period, the values of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-lymphocyte, and neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet ratios were similar in patients with and without an acute rejection episode, but significantly higher values were found in subjects with antibody-mediated rejection as compared with other types of rejection and those without rejection. High values of analyzed ratios in patients with satisfactory early kidney graft function may be helpful in selecting subjects with increased risk of subclinical antibody-mediated rejection.</p>","PeriodicalId":7935,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Transplantation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ff/a9/anntransplant-27-e937239.PMC9789674.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10480047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MATERIAL AND METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, potential risk factors, and course of AP in patients following liver transplantation at a single large-volume transplant center. RESULTS Out of a total of 1850 transplanted patients, 49 (2.8%) were diagnosed with AP. Of this group, 37 (75.5%) had a mild form of AP and 12 (24.5%) had a severe form of AP. The mortality rate was 10% overall and 42% in the group of patients with severe AP. An early form of AP (<30 days from transplantation) occurred in 13 patients (26.5%), most of whom presented with severe AP (10 patients, 76.9%); 4 patients died (40%). A late form of AP was diagnosed in 36 patients (73.5%), most of whom had mild AP (34 patients, 94.4%); 1 of 2 patients with severe AP died. The most common AP etiologies were post-ERCP (38.8%), idiopathic (34.7%), and postoperative (18.4%). Chronic HBV infection was a risk factor for development of AP (P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS AP in liver transplant recipients was more frequent and more severe than in the general population. This unfavorable course was associated with the occurrence of AP in the early post-transplant period. Liver transplantation due to complications of HBV infection was a risk factor for the development of AP.</p>","PeriodicalId":7935,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Transplantation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/aa/11/anntransplant-27-e938114.PMC9764668.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10841294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
