Endoscopic healing in IBD: Still the target to achieve?
Dig Liver Dis
March 2025
Department of Pathophysiology and Organ Transplantation, University of Milan, Milan, Italy; Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy. Electronic address:
Mucosal healing is the mainstream goal of modern treat-to-target strategy as it is associated with a significantly more favorable disease course in IBD patients with either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Recent advances in endoscopic imaging technologies have overcome the traditional concept of mucosal healing assessed with conventional white light imaging, allowing for multiple levels of endoscopic healing up to the boundaries of molecular and functional evaluation. In this review, we focused on conventional and emerging strategies to assess endoscopic healing in ulcerative colitis and ileocolonic Crohn's disease, examining their pros and cons in real life practice.

Department of Ophthalmology, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha 410013, China.
Objectives: Due to the severe shortage of donor corneas for transplantation in China, corneal component transplantation may expand the available donor pool. This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of corneal component transplantation by examining the distribution of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in corneas from HBsAg-seropositive donors under different storage media.
Methods: Ten corneas (from 6 donors) donated between December 2019 and March 2021 and stored at the Eye Bank of Xiangya Third Hospital, Central South University, were analyzed.
Challenges and support needs among family caregivers involved in solid organ transplant care process: a scoping review protocol.

Department of Nursing Management, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
Introduction: Family caregivers play an indispensable role in the care of solid organ transplant patients, undertaking a wide range of tasks from basic daily care to complex medical management. However, these responsibilities come with substantial challenges, placing additional strain on caregivers who bear significant physical, emotional, financial and social burdens, along with numerous unmet support needs. Currently, the exploration of challenges and support needs among family caregivers in the caregiving process is limited to primary research, lacking a synthesised and comprehensive understanding of the issues.

Unexpected transmission of donor-derived diseases, including infections and malignancies, through organ transplantation are occasionally observed and reported. Subclinical, or otherwise undiagnosed, hematological malignancies in potential donors are rare events and typically not identifiable via standard donor evaluation or laboratory testing. Flow cytometric crossmatching (FCXM) is a specialized assay routinely performed in clinical histocompatibility laboratories for the evaluation of immunological compatibility between the recipients and the organ donors through the detection of donor-specific antibodies.

Division of Cardiac Surgery, CardioVascular Center, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: This study aims to analyze the patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and contemporary trends concerning type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in previous recipients of abdominal solid organ transplantation (ASOT) in the United States.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample was queried to identify all patients aged ≥18 with TAAD and a history of ASOT (TAAD-ASOT) between 2002 and 2015Q3 using ICD-9 diagnosis and procedure codes. Baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared between TAAD-ASOT patients and TAAD patients without a history of ASOT (TAAD-non-ASOT).
