Background: In pediatric living-donor lobar lung transplantation, whether transplanting adult lobes could result in satisfactory long-term survival and respiratory functional outcomes during and after the growth period in pediatric patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term survival and functional prognosis after pediatric living-donor lobar lung transplantation and deceased-donor lung transplantation.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of pediatric patients (age: ≤17 years) who underwent lung transplantation between March 2001 and December 2022 at three institutions in Japan.

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) has been recognized as a significant cause of acute and chronic lung allograft dysfunction after lung transplantation. Some treatments, eculizumab, an anti-complement (C)5 component monoclonal antibody (Mab), seem to have a promising effect in the management of some patients with AMR. We present two patients with acute AMR after lung transplantation who received the anti-C5 Mab therapy.

Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance is associated with outcomes in pediatric heart transplant recipients.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Background: Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has an emerging role in non-invasive surveillance of pediatric heart transplant recipients (PHTR). Higher myocardial T2, higher extracellular volume fraction (ECV), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) have been associated with adverse clinical outcomes in adult heart transplant recipients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of CMR-derived T1 and T2 mapping, ECV, and LGE for clinical outcomes in PHTR.

Background: In the 2018 Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network donor heart allocation system, patients listed for re-transplantation due to cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) are assigned to Status 4 unless hemodynamic criteria are met. We aim to examine waitlist outcomes of CAV patients among adult heart transplant candidates.

Methods: We examined waitlist mortality stratified by CAV and waitlist status among adult heart transplant candidates using Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients data from 10/1/2018-11/1/2023.

Objective: Anti-angiogenic therapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy are currently important treatments for non-small cell lung cancer. However, the combined use of the two therapies is controversial, and few studies have investigated the effects of different time sequences of the two therapies on treatment outcomes.

Methods: The tumor-bearing mouse model was established and the mice were divided into four groups, including AA-ICB sequence group, ICB-AA sequence group, synchronization group and the control group.
