Graft-derived cell-free DNA (GcfDNA) is a promising biomarker for comprehensive monitoring of allograft injury because it overcomes the limitations of traditional approaches. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the outliers of GcfDNA at initial time post transplantation and short-term renal graft function. A total of 230 recipients who underwent primary kidney transplan...

Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Gut microbiome plays important roles in a variety of chronic metabolic diseases, but its association with the occurrence and development of PTDM is still unknown. The present study integrates the analysis of gut microbiome and metabolites to further identify the characteristics of PTDM. A ...

Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is the final therapeutic option for recipients with end-stage organ failure, and its long-term success is limited by infections and chronic allograft dysfunction. Viral infection in SOT recipients is considered an important factor affecting prognosis. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 43 cases of respiratory infections in SOT recipients using metagenomic ...

Objective To investigate the association between graft‐derived cell‐free DNA and pretransplantation clinical variables, and to determine whether the former could be used as a novel biomarker to predict renal function. Method A total of 87 recipients who underwent primary kidney transplantation were recruited to the study. For each recipient, 10 mL peripheral blood was collected on days 1, 7, 14...

Background : Modern surgical techniques and scientific advancements have made liver transplant (LT) in infants feasible. However, there are only a small number of studies examining the short as well as long term outcomes of LT in this vulnerable subset of children. Method : Comprehensive searches were done systematically through the PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar databases. Studies that were ...

In renal transplantation, monitoring procalcitonin (PCT) in the early post-transplant period can be a promising method for early tracking of infectious complications. However, the correlation between PCT and infection-related factors and immune components and renal function remains unclear. Between November 2017 and December 2018, 62 early-stage renal transplant recipients were selected, and 4 mL ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rapidly growing tumor characterized by a high potential for vascular invasion and metastasis. The purpose of our study is to explore the regulation mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) LINC01419 on cell-cycle distribution and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by regulating zinc finger of the cerebellum (ZIC1) through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Bi...

Calpains (CAPNs) are intracellular calcium-activated neutral cysteine proteinases involved in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. However, its role in pancreatic cancer (PC) is still unclear. This study aims to identify the prognostic value and immune infiltration of CAPNs for PC patients using comprehensive bioinformatics analyzes. We analyzed the transcription levels of CAPNs in diff...
