ObjectivesIn patients with reduced kidney function there are no established guidelines to suggest combined heart-kidney transplant (HKTx) versus sequential kidney transplant (SKTx) using preoperative value of estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR).MethodsThe United Network for Organ Sharing database was queried from 2000 to 2015 to evaluate survival of HKTx and SKTx population stratified by preoperative eGFR rate <45 mL/min. Aim of the study was to assess the eGFR rate that is most beneficial to perform a concomitant or a SKTx at time of transplant evaluation.ResultsIn our analysis, patients who required SKTx are recipients that, after heart transplantation, developed or worsened kidney insufficiency due to calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity. In recipients with eGFR <30 or dialysis, a total of 545 received HKTx and 80 received SKTx. The median waiting time between heart and kidney transplant in SKTx group was 6 years. The overall post-transplant survival was 81% and 80% and 75% and 59% at 5 and 1 years for the HKTx and SKTx groups, respectively (P = .04). In recipients with eGFR from 30 to 44, a total of 107 received HKTx and 112 received SKTx. The median waiting time between heart and kidney transplant in SKTx group was 4 years. Overall post-transplant survival showed no statistically significant differences in HKTx group (n=107) compared with SKTx group (n=112) and was 90% and 95% at 1 year and 74% and 52% at 5 years, respectively (P = .4) .ConclusionsTo optimize organ and patient survival, eGFR value can be utilized to discern between HKTx versus SKTx in patients with decreased renal function at the time of heart transplantation. Patients with eGFR<30 or in dialysis presented better survival with HKTx, while both SKTx and HKTx are suitable for patients with eGFR between 30 and 45. 相似文献
ObjectiveTo explore the inhibitory effects of zoledronate (ZOL) on adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) into osteoblasts for repairing jaw necrosis.MethodsADSCs were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts. The differentiation characteristics of osteoblasts was observed under inverted microscope by alizarin red staining. The transwell assay was performed to evaluate the migration of ADSCs co-cultured with osteoblasts and divided into ZOL group treated with ZOL and N-ZOL group without ZOL treatment. The differentiation and proliferation characteristics of ADSCs differentiated osteoblasts were observed respectively. The expression of CTSK (Cathepsin K) and FGFR3 (Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) in osteoblasts were analyzed by immunofluorescence and western blot.ResultsThe differentiation degree and proliferation of ADSCs to osteoblasts in N-ZOL group were both higher than those in ZOL group. The migratory cell number in ADSCs differentiation in ZOL group was higher than that of N-ZOL group. The protein expression of CTSK and FGFR3 in ADSCs differentiated to osteoblasts in ZOL group was higher than that in N-ZOL group.ConclusionThe differentiation of ADSCs into osteoblasts is significantly inhibited by ZOL. Due to this reason, it may be difficult to achieve good results by ZOL induced ADSCs into osteoblasts in repairing jaw necrosis. 相似文献
结果:免疫组化和免疫荧光染色结果显示,汉族患者小梁组织中TGF-β2表达明显高于哈萨克族患者。ELISA定量分析显示,汉族和哈萨克族患者房水中aTGF-β2含量(172.015±79.367、83.436±41.743pg/mL)有明显差异(t=4.794,P<0.001),且年龄≥70岁的两民族患者房水中tTGF-β2含量(480.124±152.997、338.858±72.497pg/mL)有差异(t=2.421,P=0.026)。术后两民族患者眼压均较术前明显降低,但术后6mo汉族和哈萨克族患者功能性滤过泡(Ⅰ、Ⅱ型滤过泡)形成情况有明显差异(50% vs 78%; χ2=4.841,P=0.028)。
