Current status of pediatric transplantation in Japan | Journal of Intensive Care | Full Text
Brain-dead donor organ transplantation has been available to children in Japan since the 2010 revision of the Organ Transplant Law. Of the 50-60 brain-dead donor organ transplants performed annually in Japan, however, very few (0-4 per year) are performed in children. Again, while those receiving liver, heart, and kidney transplants are reported to fare better than their counterparts in the rest of the world, organ shortage is becoming a matter of great concern. Very few organs become available from brain-dead donors or are transplanted to adults if made available at all, with some children dying while on the brain-dead organ waiting list. Against this background, living-donor transplants, split-liver transplants, domino transplants, and hepatocyte transplants represent alternative modalities, each of which is shown to be associated with favorable outcomes. Challenges exist, include streamlining the existing framework for promoting organ donation for children and between children.

Heart Kids Die in a Faltering Paediatric Transplantation Programme - WORDPIX
At least 32 young children have died since 2000 after failing to receive a heart transplant - a sign of South Africas faltering organ donation and transplantation programmes.. In one hospital in a five-year period from 2010 to 2014, two children received heart transplants while 10 died while wait-listed for a transplant.. These figures are directly linked to government policy, the nations poor commitment to organ donation generally and the difficulty of matching a young recipient to a small donor heart.. Only 80 children have received a heart transplant in this country in the 40 years that programmes have been operating, an average of two procedures a year.. According to figures presented by cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Susan Vosloo of the Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital at the Heart Transplant Society congress in Gordons Bay last week, the transplant programme for children started at Red Cross Childrens Hospital in association with Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town in 1980.. In the ...

Peripheral Immunologic Response of Solid Organ Transplant Recipients to Depletion Versus Non-depletion Protocols - Full Text...
Rejection and infection are primary causes of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Current clinical practice relies on immunosuppressive drug levels measured in plasma to reflect the peripheral immune response in solid organ transplant recipients. Direct measurement of the number and functions of the immune cells themselves using multi-parameter flow cytometry may enable individualized immunosuppression management for organ transplant recipients. Multi-parameter flow cytometry will be used to compare levels and functional capabilities of multiple lymphocyte subsets between cohorts of patients receiving depletion induction and those receiving a non-depletion regimen. The activation state, cytotoxic potential and the functional capabilities of these cells will be examined within patients over the first six months post transplant ...

Prospective surveillance for invasive fungal infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, 2001-2006: overview...
BACKGROUND: The incidence and epidemiology of invasive fungal infections (IFIs), a leading cause of death among hematopoeitic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, are derived mainly from single-institution retrospective studies. METHODS: The Transplant Associated Infections Surveillance Network, a network of 23 US transplant centers, prospectively enrolled HSCT recipients with proven and probable IFIs occurring between March 2001 and March 2006. We collected denominator data on all HSCTs preformed at each site and clinical, diagnostic, and outcome information for each IFI case. To estimate trends in IFI, we calculated the 12-month cumulative incidence among 9 sequential subcohorts. RESULTS: We identified 983 IFIs among 875 HSCT recipients. The median age of the patients was 49 years; 60% were male. Invasive aspergillosis (43%), invasive candidiasis (28%), and zygomycosis (8%) were the most common IFIs. Fifty-nine percent and 61% of IFIs were recognized within 60 days of neutropenia and ...
Higher Risk of Cancer Mortality in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients - The ASCO Post
In a study reported in JAMA Oncology, Acuna et al found a nearly threefold increased risk of cancer mortality in solid-organ transplant recipients compared with the general population in Ontario, Canada.. Study Details. The population-based cohort study included data from 11,061 patients who underwent solid- organ transplantation in Ontario between 1991 and 2010, including 6,516 kidney, 2,606 liver, 929 heart, and 705 lung transplantations, representing 85,557 person-years of follow-up through December 2011. Recipients had a median age of 49 years, and 64% were male.. Increased Risk. Of 3,068 deaths in the cohort, 603 (20%) were cancer-related. Cancer mortality was significantly higher in transplant recipients than in the general population (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] = 2.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.61-3.07). Risk remained higher (SMR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.75-2.13) in analysis, excluding patients with pretransplantation cancers (n = 1,124). Increased risk was observed for all types ...
Transplantacija srca u djece u Hrvatskoj - naša prva iskustva [Heart transplantation in children in Croatia - our first...
Heart transplantation (HT) is an acceptable method of treating severe heart diseases in children when all other options have been exhausted. It is primarily intended for children suffering from cardiomyopathies, less often for children with severe arrhythmias and congenital heart defects. This method of treating children requires a multidisciplinary specialist cooperation and support in the childs home surroundings. Goal: The main goal is to present the development of Croatian paediatric transplantation cardiology. The secondary goal is to raise awareness of heart transplantations in children in order to motivate organ donations, it being the most limiting factor of the method. Results of study: The first heart transplantation in a child in Croatia was performed in 2011. Transplantation preparations were performed in eleven children. Two of the children died while on the waiting list, one child was removed from the waiting list due to recovery, and in eight of the children a transplantation was ...

Welcome to CDC stacks | Solid Organ Transplant-associated Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis, United States, 2011 - 18762 | Emerging...
Three clusters of organ transplant-associated lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) transmissions have been identified in the United States; 9 of 10 recipients died. In February 2011, we identified a fourth cluster of organ transplant-associated LCMV infections. Diabetic ketoacidosis developed in the organ donor in December 2010; she died with generalized brain edema after a short hospitalization. Both kidneys, liver, and lung were transplanted to 4 recipients; in all 4, severe posttransplant illness developed; 2 recipients died. Through multiple diagnostic methods, we identified LCMV infection in all persons, including in at least 1 sample from the donor and 4 recipients by reverse transcription PCR, and sequences of a 396-bp fragment of the large segment of the virus from all 5 persons were identical. In this cluster, all recipients developed severe illness, but 2 survived. LCMV infection should be considered as a possible cause of severe posttransplant illness ...

Pandemic influenza A(H1N1) virus infection in solid organ transplant recipients: impact of viral and non-viral co-infection -...
Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) are at risk of serious influenza-related complications. The impact of respiratory co-infection in SOTR with 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) is unknown. A multicentre prospective study of consecutive cases of pandemic influenza A(H1N1) in SOTR was carried out to assess the clinical characteristics and outcome and the risk factors for co-infection. Overall, 51 patients were included. Median time from transplant was 3.7 years, 5.9% of the cases occurred perioperatively and 7.8% were hospital-acquired. Pneumonia was diagnosed in 15 (29.4%) patients. Ten cases were severe (19.6%): 13.7% were admitted to intensive care units, 5.9% suffered septic shock, 5.9% developed acute graft rejection and 7.8% died. Co-infection was detected in 15 patients (29.4%): eight viral, six bacterial and one fungal. Viral co-infection did not affect the outcome. Patients with non-viral co-infection had a worse outcome: longer hospital stay (26.2 ± 20.7 vs. 5.5 ± 10.2) and higher ...

Primary Care of the Solid Organ Transplant Recipient - American Family Physician
The advancing science of transplantation has led to more transplants and longer survival. As a result, primary care physicians are more involved in the care of transplant recipients. Immunosuppressive therapy has significantly decreased rates of transplant rejection but accounts for more than 50% of transplant-related deaths, often due to infections and other risks related to long-term use. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of non-transplant-related mortality. Aggressive risk factor management is recommended for transplant recipients, including a blood pressure goal of less than 130/80 mm Hg and statin therapy in kidney, liver, and heart recipients. Fertility typically increases posttransplant, and female transplant recipients should avoid pregnancy for one year after surgery. The best contraceptive choice is usually an intrauterine device. Because of the increased risk of infection, patients should be tested for graft dysfunction or infection if suspicion arises. Testing should be coordinated

Genetic immune and inflammatory markers associated with diabetes in solid organ transplant recipients. | Am J Transplant;19(1)...
New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT) is a complication following solid organ transplantation (SOT) and may be related to immune or inflammatory responses. We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 158 immune- or inflammation-related genes contribute to NODAT in SOT recipients. The association between 263 SNPs and NODAT was investigated in a discovery sample of SOT recipients from the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS, n1 = 696). Positive results were tested in a first STCS replication sample (n2 = 489) and SNPs remaining significant after multiple test corrections were tested in a second SOT replication sample (n3 = 156). Associations with diabetic traits were further tested in several large general population-based samples (n > 480 000). Only SP110 rs2114592C>T remained associated with NODAT in the STCS replication sample. Carriers of rs2114592-TT had 9.9 times (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.22-30.5, P = .00006) higher risk for NODAT in the ...

Safety of a Single Dose of 5 mg of hLF1-11 Given to Autologous Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients - Full Text View ...
Background:. Human lactoferrin (hLF) is a glycoprotein containing 692 amino acids and found in the saliva, milk, tears, and other body fluids. Peptide representing the first cationic domain, i.e. a peptide comprising the first eleven residues of hLF (further referred to as hLF1-11) was significantly more effective than the full length hLF or the peptide representing the second cationic domain in killing a variety of bacteria in vivo.
