While allograft loss due to acute rejection has been dramatically reduced due to the introduction of immunophilins, this therapy has little effect on allografts lost due to chronic vascular rejection. This situation may be due to a misnomer of the pathology. Specifically, its designation as 'chronic rejection' has given the wrong impression that the cause of the disease has been identified. Analyzing this phenomenon under the rubric of linguistic relativity suggests that the words chosen to name the disease may have restricted our cognitive ability to solve the problem. Thus, we have to step out of the 'alloimmunity/rejection box'. Let's pause between our words, Speak and fall silent again, So that the meaning of the word just spoken, Sounds a clearer echo in our heads. Let's pause between our words. Andrey Makarevich.

Outcomes of Conservatively Managed Patients With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Single-Centre Experience.
Cureus
November 2024
Vascular Surgery, Sunderland Royal Hospital, Sunderland, GBR.
Introduction: The results of patients at one hospital who were judged eligible for conservative care of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are examined in this research. Optimizing patient care and management tactics requires an understanding of the mortality trends and causes of death within this group.
Methodology: Sunderland Royal Hospital carried out a single-center retrospective analysis between May 2018 and January 2024.

Introduction: As research advances in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA), large animal models are essential for translational studies related to immune rejection and graft survival. However, procurement of large flaps can cause significant defects, complicating wound closure and increasing postoperative risks. This study details the surgical techniques and outcomes of autologous vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap transplantation and neck flap isolation with induced ischemia in a swine model.

Background And Objective: Organ transplantation is a vital treatment for patients with end-stage organ diseases, and macrophages play a key role in the rejection process. This study seeks to pinpoint key genes responsible for the dynamic changes in macrophages during rejection and to evaluate their impact on macrophage polarization through bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: We selected single-cell sequencing data of mouse heart transplant models from Genome Sequence Archive to construct a dynamic landscape of immune cells during acute rejection.

Vascular malformations are common vascular lesions in infants and seriously affect their health and quality of life. Vascular sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for vascular malformations. However, current sclerosants have difficulty achieving both high efficiency and low toxicity, and their dosing forms make it difficult to achieve long-term retention in the affected blood vessels.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of systemic mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as an adjunct in combination with topical tacrolimus (FK506) and corticosteroid eyedrops for preventing corneal graft rejection after high-risk keratoplasty (HRK).
Methods: In this cohort study, 55 consecutive patients (55 eyes) from an eye center who met the criteria of HRK were included. The definition for HRK includes large grafts of no less than 9 mm diameter, vascularized cornea of two or more quadrants, regrafting, or eccentric grafts.
