Lymphocyte-depleting induction lowers acute rejection (AR) rates among high-immunologic risk (HIR) renal transplant recipients, including African Americans (AAs), retransplants, and the sensitized. It is unclear whether different HIR subgroups experience similarly low rates of AR. We aimed to describe the incidence of AR and de novo donor-specific antibody (dnDSA) among HIR recipients categorized by age, race, or donor type. All received antithymocyte globulin (ATG) induction and triple maintenance immunosuppression. A total of 464 HIR recipients from 2007 to 2014 were reviewed. AR and dnDSA rates at 1 year for the entire population were 14% and 27%, respectively. AR ranged from 6.7% among living donor (LD) recipients to 30% in younger AA deceased donor (DD) recipients. De novo donor-specific antibody at 1 year ranged from 7% in older non-AA LD recipients to 32% in AAs. AA race remained as an independent risk factor for AR among DD recipients and for dnDSA among all HIR recipients. Development of both AR and dnDSA within the first year was associated with a 54% graft survival at 5 years and was an independent risk factor for graft loss. Despite utilization of recommended immunosuppression for HIR recipients, substantial disparities exist among subgroups, warranting further consideration of individualized immunosuppression in certain HIR subgroups.

Article Synopsis
- - This study compared the effectiveness of super-resolution deep learning-based reconstruction (SR-DLR) with hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and normal-resolution DLR (NR-DLR) in improving image quality of CT scans, focusing on different field of view sizes, radiation doses, and noise reduction levels.
- - Researchers utilized a Catphan phantom and reconstructed CT images using various methods (FBP, HIR, NR-DLR, SR-DLR) while assessing noise power and calculating noise magnitude and central frequency ratios.
- - Results showed that SR-DLR provided the best noise reduction (lower NMR scores) and improved high-contrast values and spatial resolution at both low and standard radiation doses compared to HIR and was on par with NR-D

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common postoperative complication, particularly in pediatric patients after liver transplantation. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (HIR) increases the release of exosomes (IR-Exos) in peripheral circulation. However, the role of IR-Exos in the pathogenesis of ALI induced by HIR remains unclear.

Background: Poor neurodevelopmental outcomes after pediatric liver transplantation seriously affect the long-term quality of life of recipients, in whom hepatic ischemia reperfusion (HIR) is considered to play a pivotal role. However, the link between HIR and brain injury remains unclear. Because circulating exosomes are considered as the key mediators of information transmission over long distances, we aimed to assess the role of circulating exosomes in HIR-induced hippocampal injury in young rats.

Unlabelled: Previously, the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) cutaneous test with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to be a simple in vivo method to measure T-cell functionality after natural infection and in vaccinated individuals.
Methods: Twenty-five kidney-transplanted recipients were immunized with two doses of the mRNA-based Pfizer-BioNTech COVID19 vaccine three weeks apart. Cell-immune response (CIR) was evaluated ten weeks later using an in vivo DTH skin test and in vitro with an interferon gamma release assay (IGRA).
