Children with intestinal failure suffer liver damage associated with parenteral nutrition: a condition known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), which requires transplantation of both liver and intestine. In many countries, simultaneous transplantation of these two organs is performed using grafts from a deceased donor, but there have been no such cases in Japan, and the details of the procedure are not clear. Recently, we performed simultaneous split liver and intestinal transplantation in two premature infants with IFALD, using organs from identical deceased donors and achieved good results. These are the first two cases of this procedure being performed in Japan. We report these cases and discuss the important aspects of the surgical and perioperative management.

Patients in need of a kidney transplant have the option of receiving a kidney from a living donor or a deceased donor. Patients in the United States who do not have an available living donor typically wait on the deceased donor waiting list for an average of three to five years, although some patients may wait longer. The waiting list is very complex and intended to allocate kidneys in a fair and equitable manner.

Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a serious complication of renal transplantation, with its prevalence and associated factors remaining inconclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the global prevalence and risk factors associated with TRAS incidence in renal transplant recipients. We conducted a meta-analysis by collecting data on the prevalence and factors associated with TRAS from articles in Scopus, Embase, and PubMed.

Background: Emodepside is an anthelmintic used in veterinary medicine that is currently under investigation in human clinical trials for the treatment of soil-transmitted helminths and possibly Onchocerca volvulus. Emodepside targets the calcium-activated voltage-gated potassium slowpoke 1 (SLO-1) channels of presynaptic nerves of pharynx and body wall muscle cells of nematodes leading to paralysis, reduced locomotion and egg laying, starvation, and death. Emodepside also has activity against Drosophila melanogaster SLO-1 channels.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFApolipoprotein E (APOE) has multiple functions in metabolism and immunoregulation. Its common germline variants APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4 give rise to three functionally distinct gene products. Previous studies reported yin-yang roles of APOE2 and APOE4 in immunological processes, but their effects in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have never been studied.
