The Dynamic Changes in Soluble CD30 and Regulatory T Cells Before and After Solid Organ Transplantations: A Pilot Study.

Among multiple parameters, applied in the immunologic monitoring of transplantation, the levels of serum soluble CD30 (sCD30) and peripheral regulatory T cells (Tregs) are very promising. These are relatively new biomarkers, considered to reflect immune activation and tolerance in solid organ transplantation. Results are shown here from a preliminary study on the relevance of sCD30 and Tregs in the monitoring of the early post-transplantation period.

[COMPLICATION AFTER UNRECOGNIZED ECTOPIC PREGNANCY--A CASE REPORT].

The authors present a clinical case of performing an abortion at patient with unrecognized ectopic pregnancy and subsequent complication- perforation of the uterus and the colon and life-threatening haemoperitoneum.

[10 Years of Experience in Living Donation for Liver Transplantation in Pediatric Patients - A Single Centre Study].

Living donor liver transplantation poses new issues related to the performance of a major surgery on a healthy person - the living donor. Thus, it requires precise logistics to ensure positive outcome for both the donor and the recipient, outweighing the risks associated with donation and transplantation. For this purpose, we developed an original three phase protocol for evaluation of candidate donors with set of mandatory assays.

[Successful full-term pregnancy in the Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome: a case report and review of literature].

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome results in a doubling of the internal genitalia accompanied by unilateral gynatresia (with hemi-hematokolpos, hemi-hematometra and/or hemi-hematosalpings) and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The authors considered the case of a successful full-term pregnancy in one uterus after pregnancy failure in the other imposed surgical removal of the same.

[Ovarian vein thrombophlebitis during pregnancy--with a contribution of one clinical case].

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare, but serious condition that affects mostly postpartum women but may also be associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, malignancies and pelvic surgical procedures. Concerning ovarian vein thrombosis in earlier stages of pregnancy there are only very few case reports. The authors consider this rare but potentially deadly disease and describe the clinical case study.
