Disease relevance of Tissue Donors

 

Psychiatry related information on Tissue Donors

  • A series of 30 patients who were not eligible for standard conditioning therapy received transplants from HLA-matched related (n = 14) or unrelated (n = 16) donors after administration of treosulfan 10 g/m2 intravenously daily for 3 days and fludarabine 30 mg/m2 intravenously daily for 5 days [6].
  • We selected 101 sera; 16 were obtained from normal donors with no known risk factors, and 85 were from patients with full-fledged AIDS (28 cases), AIDS-related complex (ARC, 22 cases), and healthy people at risk (homosexuals, intravenous [IV] drug users, relatives of AIDS patients; 35 cases) [7].
  • C57BL FX and midvaginal transplants from 1-, 3-, and 5-day-old donors but not from 7- or 10-day-old donors developed adenosis, indicating a critical period before day 6 [8].
  • This study describes the expression of MHC class II antigens in retinal flat mounts from normal donors and patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) [9].
  • For 20 selected donors representing the spectrum of CD4 T-cell permissiveness, we could attribute up to 42% of the total variance in virus production to entry factors and 48% to postentry steps [10].
 

High impact information on Tissue Donors

  • While in most instances, they function as inhibiting receptors, an activating form of the HLA-C-specific receptors has been identified in some donors [11].
  • Techniques using synthetic oligonucleotide probes to mutant DNA sequence demonstrated that other class-I genes were available as donors for interaction with the Kb gene to produce the mutations [12].
  • Immune-deficient Rag2(-/-) mice were used as nuclear donors for transfer into enucleated oocytes, and the resulting blastocysts were cultured to isolate an isogenic embryonic stem cell line [13].
  • BACKGROUND: Successful engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells from unrelated donors is influenced by disparities between the donor and recipient for HLA-A, B, and C alleles [14].
  • The results were compared with those in 10 infants who received heart transplants from ABO-compatible donors [15].

Associations of Tissue Donors with chemical compounds

  • We conclude that in healthy donors hemipancreatectomy results in a deterioration of insulin secretion and glucose tolerance, as measured one year later [30].
  • To determine whether steroids exert a direct inhibitory effect on neutrophil function, thus contraindicating their use to increase granulocyte yields for white-cell transfusions to infected neutropenic patients, we gave normal donors a single intravenous dose of dexamethasone (4 mg per square meter of body-surface area) [26].
  • Radioallergosorbent testing revealed that serum from 4 of the 6 donors who had reactions, but from only 1 of 145 controls, contained IgE antibodies to ethylene oxide-albumin (P less than 0.001) [4].
  • In 17 (11 percent) of the Western blot-positive donors, the disease progressed to Class IV (symptomatic disease), according to the Centers for Disease Control system [31].
  • Nitric oxide, generated from NO. donors or synthesized endogenously after NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor activation, can lead to neurotoxicity [32].
 

Gene context of Tissue Donors

  • The donors have a chromatin structure inaccessible for both transcription and HO cleavage [33].
  • On the other hand, NO donors conjugated with COX inhibitors have recently found new interest in the understanding of NO/COX reciprocal interaction and potential clinical use [34].
  • The capacity of T cells from anti-IgD-injected donors to produce IL-4 is enhanced by addition of IL-2 and is largely, but not completely, inhibited by neutralization of in situ produced IL-2 [35].
  • To test the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) limits endothelial activation, we treated cytokine-stimulated human saphenous vein endothelial cells with several NO donors and assessed their effects on the inducible expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) [36].
  • Hybridization signal for BDNF, but not NGF or NT-3, was decreased in samples of hippocampus from donors with AD [37].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tissue Donors

  • BACKGROUND: Transplantation of hearts from ABO-incompatible donors is contraindicated because of the risk of hyperacute rejection mediated by preformed antibodies in the recipient to blood-group antigens of the donor [15].
  • Allergic reactions in healthy plateletpheresis donors caused by sensitization to ethylene oxide gas [4].
  • To determine the metabolic consequences of this procedure for the donors, we carried out oral glucose-tolerance testing and 24-hour monitoring of serum glucose levels and urinary C-peptide excretion as a measure of insulin secretion in 28 donors, both before and one year after hemipancreatectomy [30].
  • Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for mHags of the recipients can be isolated from the blood of recipients with severe GvHD (ref. 3). A retrospective study demonstrated an association between mismatch for mHags HA-1, -2, -4 and -5 and the occurrence of GvHD in adult recipients of bone marrow from HLA genotypically identical donors [38].
  • High levels of antibodies to most parasite proteins were detected by Western blots in the receivers' sera (taken before transfer) as in the donors' Ig, thus indicating that the difference was qualitative rather than quantitative between donors and receivers [39].
