AI Article Synopsis
- Lateral meniscus allograft transplantation is mainly done for young, active individuals to stabilize the knee joint after ACL reconstruction, especially when the lateral meniscus is absent.
- This procedure helps support the knee by preventing unwanted forward movement of the tibia and can enhance the longevity of the graft while protecting the knee cartilage over time.
- Additionally, a ligament surgery called extra-articular tenodesis might be done together with the transplantation to boost joint stability, especially in patients with naturally loose ligaments.
Article Abstract
Lateral meniscus allograft transplantation is performed in predominantly young, active patients and is an option to stabilize the joint in lateral meniscus-deficient patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The lateral meniscus functions as an important restraint to anterior tibial translation, and meniscal transplant in such a patient may improve survivability of the graft in addition to preserving the patient's articular cartilage in the long term. A ligamentous extra-articular tenodesis procedure may be performed simultaneously to augment rotational stability of the joint, particularly in a patient with underlying ligamentous hyperlaxity.

Nerve regeneration using a Bio 3D conduit derived from umbilical cord-Derived mesenchymal stem cells in a rat sciatic nerve defect model.
PLoS One

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Unlabelled: Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs), which can be prepared in advance and are presumed to be advantageous for nerve regeneration, have potential as a cell source for Bio 3D conduits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nerve regeneration ability of Bio 3D conduits made from UC-MSCs using a rat sciatic nerve defect model.
Methods: A Bio 3D conduit was fabricated using a Bio 3D printer by placing UC-MSC spheroids into thin needles according to predesigned 3D data.
Long-term allograft survival is limited by humoral-associated chronic allograft rejection, suggesting inadequate constraint of humoral alloimmunity by contemporary immunosuppression. Heterogeneity in alloreactive B cells and the incomplete definition of which B cells participate in chronic rejection in immunosuppressed transplant recipients limits our ability to develop effective therapies. Using a double-fluorochrome single-HLA tetramer approach combined with single-cell culture, we investigated the B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire characteristics, avidity, and phenotype of donor HLA-DQ reactive B cells in a transplant recipient with end-stage donor specific antibody (DSA)-associated cardiac allograft vasculopathy while receiving maintenance immunosuppression (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone).

Ann Surg Open
December 2024
From the Department of Visceral, Transplant, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, Division of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Visceral Transplant Surgery, University Clinic Leipzig, Germany.
Objective: This study explored the novel application of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for in vivo allograft perfusion assessment during liver transplantation (LT) and its potential value for predicting early allograft dysfunction (EAD), graft, and overall survival (OS).
Background: LT is a well-established therapy for acute and chronic liver diseases, with excellent outcomes. However, a significant proportion of recipients experience EAD, which affects graft and OS.
Assessment of Fresh Homologous Osteochondral Transplantation in Knees as a Salvage Treatment: A Prospective Case Series with a Minimum Follow-up Period of 10 Months.

The present study evaluated the clinical outcomes and satisfaction of patients undergoing fresh homologous osteochondral transplantation in the knee as a salvage method. We analyzed eight knees from seven male patients who underwent fresh homologous osteochondral transplantation by a single surgeon. Their follow-up period ranged from 10 months to 5 years and 5 months.

In the United States kidney allocation system, HLA antigen-level matching has been shown to cause ethnic disparities and thus, has been de-emphasised. However, priority points are still awarded for antigen-level zero-ABDR matching, zero-DR matching and one-DR matching.
