Related factors of osteosarcopenia in kidney transplant recipients
Sarcopenia and osteopenia are highly prevalent in older subjects, and are associated with a high risk for falls, fractures, and further functional decline. However, related factors in kidney transplant recipients suffering from osteosarcopenia, the combination of sarcopenia and osteopenia, remain unknown. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Outcomes of Pediatric Liver Transplantation: Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation vs. Living Donor Liver Transplantation
The use of pediatric donor liver for pediatric liver transplantation (LT) remains controversial and few studies have focused on pediatric deceased donors. Facing this issue, we decided to perform a retrospective research, trying to compare the clinical effects between deceased donor LT (DDLT) and living donor LT (LDLT).

Potential leukemic cells engraftment after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from unrelated donors with undiagnosed chronic leukemia
Donor related neoplasms are a potential complication of treatment strategies involving stem cell transplantation. Although mechanisms for detection of short-term complications after these procedures are well developed, complications with delayed onset, notably transmission of chronic diseases such as chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), have been difficult to assess. Consequently, we studied the potential of human CML cells to engraft hematopoietic tissues after intravenous implantation in mice. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Transplantation for Hepatocellular carcinoma is there a tumor size limit?
The advent of tumor size based criteria (Milan and UCSF) for transplantation of Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) has facilitated access of tumor patients to transplantation. Recent success in transplanting patients with larger tumors (beyond UCSF) necessitates understanding of patient, tumor and biological criteria that determine successful outcome for HCC Transplantation across all size criteria.

Overweight is related to faster decline in annual glomerular filtration rate in kidney transplant
Few studies have examined the relationship between non-immunological factors and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline in kidney transplant. Correction of these factors in native kidneys slows progression of chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between control of non-immunological factors and annual decline of GFR. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Health-related quality of life comparisons after radical therapy for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma
Our research compared these three radical therapies for early stage HCC (liver transplantation, liver resection and radiofrequency ablation), no significantly difference was observed in the aspect of HCC recurrence, however, superior long-term HRQoL scores were observed in the radiofrequency ablation patients, this is the firstly study of comparing of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among these three radical therapies.

Externalized percutaneous stent vs. internal double J stent: Short- and long-term complications after kidney transplantation
In patients undergoing kidney transplantation ureteral stents are an established technique to reduce major urological complications such as leakage and stenosis of the ureter. However, the best technique of ureteral stenting remains unclear. The aim of the current study was to compare the outcome of percutaneous ureteral stents (PS) with internal double J stents (JJ) after kidney transplantation. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Accumulation of High Levels of Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Enhances Graft Survival in Almost Tolerant Kidney Transplant Recipients
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of immature cells that suppress immune responses during organ transplantation and participate in mediating long-term graft survival and immune tolerance in animal transplant models. However, their role in regulating transplant tolerance in human subjects is not well understood. In the present study, we investigated the role of MDSCs in mediating long-term graft survival in almost tolerant kidney transplant recipients (ATKTRs) and the mechanism(s) responsible for increasing MDSC numbers in these recipients.

Impact of donor age on the outcome of intestinal transplantation in Japan
The donor age for intestinal transplant (ITx) is relatively younger than that for other solid organs. Clear criteria for adequate donors has not been established. Only few donor has been available due to shortage of young donor. In order to clarify the age of the cadaveric and living donor, we reviewed the outcome of ITx based on donor ages in Japan. Standardized report forms were sent to all known ITx programs, asking for information on intestine transplants performed between 1996 and 2016. All programs responded.
