We confirmed the significant effects of CYP3A5 polymorphism on the achievement of target tacrolimus trough levels and the development of acute rejection in early period after transplantation and consequent renal allograft function.

There has been a significant growth in the number of deceased donors in Korea since the appropriate deceased organ donation system was launched. A comprehensive national program is required to improve deceased donation and achieve self-sufficiency.

The Adhere4U application did not improve adherence to immunosuppressive therapy. Our evidence is limited by the high rate of attrition. Further studies on strategies to facilitate patient engagement with mobile interventions are warranted.

Scedosporium spp. is the most common mold infection in pneumonia resulting from near-drowning. Three fatal scedosporiosis cases developed after solid organ transplantation, probably transmitted from the nearly-drowned donor. One heart transplant recipient and two kidney transplant recipients developed fatal scedosporiosis following deceased donor transplantation from the same donor, a nearly-drowned victim of a suicide attempt. Genotypically, indistinguishable strains of Scedosporium auratiacum

Postoperative routine duplex surveillance failed to prove superiority compared with selective duplex after physical examination for reducing arteriovenous fistula maturation failure. However, the wide 95% confidence interval for the effect of intervention precludes a firm conclusion that routine duplex surveillance was not beneficial.

The outcomes of expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys have been reported to be inferior compared with standard criteria donor (SCD) kidneys. However, the graft survival rate of ECD is not so inferior to SCD in Korea. The purposes of this study were to compare the outcomes of ECD kidneys with SCD kidneys and identify the influencing factors. We retrospectively studied 143 deceased donor transplants from August 2006 to June 2010. The patients were divided into SCD (n = 117) and ECD (n = 26) by UNO

The declaration of Istanbul and more recently the World Health Organization (WHO) have provided an ethical framework for organ donation and guiding principles for national-level responsibility with the goal to achieve self-sufficiency in the field of organ donation and transplantation.1,2 Moreover, the WHO in collaboration with the Organización Nacional de Transplantes/National Transplant Organization and The Transplantation Society supported by the European Commission has published the Madrid R

With small kidneys, EBKTs could provide sufficient renal mass but could lead to inefficient use of resources, while SKTs could result in insufficient function due to small renal mass. We aimed to compare the outcomes of EBKT and SKT from small donors weighing ≤15 kg to pediatric recipients. We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric patients who met the inclusion criteria between January 1, 1984, and April 30, 2019, at a single institution. Of a total of 23 patients, 12 received EBKT and 11 recei

The linear prediction model based on body measurement and donor serum creatinine and graft weight showed a high accuracy in cross-validation.

ABSTRACT This study analyzes how Critical Audit Matter (CAM) disclosures affect investor perceptions and market responses to discretionary reporting, by examining market reactions to the interaction between the textual characteristics of CAM disclosures and both discretionary (DLLP) and non‐discretionary (NDLLP) loan loss provisions in the banking sector. The results show that discretionary loan loss provisions are generally associated with a positive market reaction, as they may signal manageri

P973 Aims: Bone marrow (BM) chimerism is regarded as good modality for inducing tolerance in allograft model. Blocking CD28/B7 pathway together CD40/CD40L pathway is effective in inducing BM chimerism in murine model, and permanently accept donor specific skin graft. In clinical situations, anti-IL-2 receptor blockades are widely used as part of immunosuppression and using together with CTLA4-Ig and MR1 markedly prolonged skin graft survival. Therefore, we investigated if anti-IL-2R Abs can be u
