Identification of the Novel HLA-DRB3*02:185 Allele by Next-Generation Sequencing in a Post-Transplant Renal Patient.

The novel allele HLA-DRB3*02:185 differs from HLA-DRB3*02:02:01:02 by one nucleotide substitution in codon 191 of exon 4.

Impact of pH-dependent dynamics of human serum proteins on dialysis membranes: Cryptographic structure assessment, synchrotron imaging of membrane-protein adsorption, and molecular docking studies.

Proteins are fundamental to biochemical processes and critical in hemodialysis. This study investigates the impact of pH on human serum albumin (HSA), fibrinogen (FB), and transferrin (TRF) interactions with polyarylethersulfone (PAES) hemodialysis membranes. A multi-method approach was utilized, including protein crystallography for structural insights, hydration layer analysis to explore solvation and interaction potentials, molecular docking using AutoDock 4.

Video Education and Behavior Contract to Improve Outcomes After Renal Transplantation (VECTOR): A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Sub-optimal adherence to immunosuppressant medications reduces graft survival for kidney transplant recipients and adherence-enhancing interventions are resource and time intensive. We performed a multi-center randomized controlled trial to investigate the impact of an electronically delivered intervention on adherence. Of 203 adult kidney transplant recipients who received a de novo kidney transplant n = 173 agreed to participate (intent-to-treat population) and were randomized to the intervention (video education plus behavior contract n = 91) or the control (standard education, n = 82).
