AI Article Synopsis
- Donor-specific HLA antibodies (dnDSA) are crucial for diagnosing antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and are linked to kidney graft failure.
- A study of 400 kidney transplant recipients showed that changes in mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of dnDSA significantly influenced graft survival rates over an average follow-up of 8.3 years.
- Notably, a quarter of the patients had a stable loss of dnDSA, which correlated with improved graft survival, highlighting the importance of monitoring MFI changes in transplantation outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: donor-specific HLA antibodies (dnDSA) are key factors in the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and related to graft loss.
Methods: This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the natural course of dnDSA in graft function and kidney allograft survival and to assess the impact of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) evolution as detected by annual Luminex screening. All 400 kidney transplant recipients with 731 dnDSA against the last graft (01/03/2000-31/05/2021) were included.
Results: During 8.3 years of follow-up, ABMR occurred in 24.8% and graft loss in 33.3% of the cases, especially in patients with class I and II dnDSA, and those with multiple dnDSA. We observed frequent changes in MFI with 5-year allograft survivals post-dnDSA of 74.0% in patients with MFI reduction ≥ 50%, 62.4% with fluctuating MFI (MFI reduction ≥ 50% and doubling), and 52.7% with doubling MFI (log-rank < 0.001). Interestingly, dnDSA in 168 (24.3%) cases became negative at some point during follow-up, and 38/400 (9.5%) patients became stable negative, which was associated with better graft survival. Multivariable analysis revealed the importance of MFI evolution and rejection, while class and number of dnDSA were not contributors in this model.
Conclusion: In summary, we provide an in-depth analysis of the natural course of dnDSA after kidney transplantation, first evidence for the impact of MFI evolution on graft outcomes, and describe a relevant number of patients with a stable disappearance of dnDSA, related to better allograft survival.

ConspectusFor chemical reactions with complex pathways, it is extremely difficult to adjust the catalytic performance. The previous strategies on this issue mainly focused on modifying the fine structures of the catalysts, including optimization of the geometric/electronic structure of the metal nanoparticles (NPs), regulation of the chemical composition/morphology of the supports, and/or adjustment of the metal-support interactions to modulate the reaction kinetics on the catalyst surface. Although significant advances have been achieved, the catalytic performance is still unsatisfactory.

Background: Loss of hemodynamic coherence is a phenomenon in critically ill patients. Due to inflammatory events and endothelial remodeling, macro- and microhemodynamics are decoupled from each other, resulting in microcirculatory disturbances and end organ ischemia despite adequate vital parameters. So far, quantification of perfusion of vessels with < 100 μm diameter on the intensive care unit (ICU) was regularly performed with incident darkfield (IDF) microscopy.

Sepsis is associated with hypoperfusion and organ failure. The aims of the study were: 1) to assess the effect of pimobendan on macrocirculation and perfusion and 2) to describe a multimodal approach to the assessment of perfusion in sepsis and compare the evolution of the perfusion parameters. Eighteen anaesthetized female piglets were equipped for macrocirculation monitoring.

Reactant-induced structural evolutions of heterogeneous metal catalysts are frequently observed in numerous catalytic systems, which can be associated with the formation or deactivation of active sites. In this work, we will show the structural transformation of subnanometer Pt clusters in pure-silica MFI zeolite structure in the presence of CO, O, and/or HO and the catalytic consequences of the Pt-zeolite materials derived from various treatment conditions. By applying the appropriate pretreatment under a reactant atmosphere, we can precisely modulate the size distribution of Pt species spanning from single Pt atoms to small Pt nanoparticles (1-5 nm) in the zeolite matrix, resulting in the desirably active and stable Pt species for CO oxidation.
