Book Synopsis Composite Tissue Allografts by : Jean-Michel Dubernard
Download or read book Composite Tissue Allografts written by Jean-Michel Dubernard and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transplanting hands -- a model of composite tissue grafting -- began in Lyons in November 1998 with the transplant of one hand and then, in January 2000, of two, both with the support of the Mérieux Foundation. Advances in immunosuppression made possible some unusual transplants of tissue, such as bones, knee-joints, femurs and larynx. From these stemmed the first attempts to transplant hands. This book looks at the long-term results of reattaching hands that have been accidentally amputated. It reviews all the problems -- technical, immunological, nervous, functional and psychological -- that surgeons encountered during and after the transplants. Surgeons, transplant experts, immunologists, dermatologists, psychiatrists, neurophysiologists, physiotherapists and re-education experts will also find here answers to their ethical and legal questions about removing tissue from donors, as well as information about composite tissue grafts in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Book Synopsis Overcoming Skin Rejection in Composite Tissue Allotransplantation by : B. Horner
Download or read book Overcoming Skin Rejection in Composite Tissue Allotransplantation written by B. Horner and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of composite tissue techniques is constrained by the susceptibility of skin to rejection. The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of skin rejection and find ways to avoid it, in order to enable expansion of the application of composite tissue transplantation techniques. The first part of the thesis explores the consequences and mechanism of skin rejection in rat models. These studies indicate that in the event of allograft failure, there is minimal damage to the vascular pedicle of a composite tissue allotransplant, even after full rejection, making retransplantation possible. Furthermore, there is only mild damage to the recipient tissues, indicating that the second transplant would not be limited in form or function by recipient tissue bed damage. Finally, the studies indicate that there are significant differences between the mechanism of rejection of skin in composite tissue transplants and conventional skin grafts. This means that much of the historical data relating to skin graft rejection is not necessarily relevant to composite tissue allotransplantation. The second part of the thesis uses swine models to explore ways to overcome skin rejection while avoiding the toxicity of chronic systemic immunosuppression, through tolerance induction, and site specific therapy. Previous experience in organ and composite tissue allotransplantation models are analysed to develop the hypothesis that high-level chimeras are tolerant to vascularised skin allotransplants. In utero and adult chimerism induction models are then used in an attempt to attain moderate-level chimeras. A vascularised skin allotransplant model is developed. Finally, the hypothesis is confirmed with the transplantation of a vascularised skin allotransplant on to moderate-level chimeras with the achievement of tolerance. In addition, site-specific therapy is used in an attempt to avoid the side-effects of chronic high-dose systemic immunosuppression. This led to prolongation of skin survival, but eventual skin rejection.

Book Synopsis Transplantation Surgery by : Nadey Hakim
Download or read book Transplantation Surgery written by Nadey Hakim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-03-10 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is like a fairy story! Or at least a beautiful epic, a truly significant page in the history of medicine, a staggering scene in which several actors come into play, both fundamentalists and clinical practitioners, eager to place all these new developments at the disposal of those suffering from ill health. Everyone is passionate about their work, be it providing new knowledge or perfecting new therapeutic methods. Man has always been fascinated by the possibility of replacing a damaged organ with a healthy one. Several attempts have been made over the centuries, and some miracles have been reported, such as those of Saint Damien and Saint Come as illustrated by Fra Angelico. The modern saga, however, started more modestly on the mouse. It is on the mouse that the first tissue group was discovered; yet the study of human tissue groups could only be carried out on a human. One human must be subjected to the thousands of tests that have enabled us to unravel the extraordinary complexity of the HLA system.

Book Synopsis Recent Scientific and Therapeutic Advances in Allograft by : Norihide Fukushima
Download or read book Recent Scientific and Therapeutic Advances in Allograft written by Norihide Fukushima and published by Biomedical Engineering. This book was released on 2024-04-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allograft transplants have been done for more than 150 years. Worldwide, around 2-3 million allografts are performed each year. Although the use of allograft carries a high risk of immune rejection, the mechanisms and grades of allograft rejection are different among transplant organs and types of allograft (cell, tissue, or organ allograft). Therefore, prevention and treatment strategies against allogeneic rejection also differ. In solid organ allograft transplantation, allograft prevention strategies are quite important to prolong allograft survival. This book discusses popular rejection prevention and desensitization strategies. It also addresses tissue allograft transplantation, examining the current status and future aspects of allotransplantation of heart valves, vessels, and islets, as well as vascularized composite grafts. With regards to particulate allografts, the book discusses particulate allografts combined with platelet concentrate as an effective combination for sinus lifts and post-extraction bone grafting and in oral and maxillofacial surgery. We hope that the readers will find this volume a useful resource, as it summarizes recent relevant details and issues that will facilitate the acquisition of emerging new information in allografting.

Download or read book Regenerative Medicine Applications in Organ Transplantation written by Giuseppe Orlando and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 1050 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regenerative Medicine Applications in Organ Transplantation illustrates exactly how these two fields are coming together and can benefit one another. It discusses technologies being developed, methods being implemented, and which of these are the most promising. The text encompasses tissue engineering, biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology, and developmental biology, all from a transplant perspective. Organ systems considered include liver, renal, intestinal, pancreatic, and more. Leaders from both fields have contributed chapters, clearly illustrating that regenerative medicine and solid organ transplantation speak the same language and that both aim for similar medical outcomes. The overall theme of the book is to provide insight into the synergy between organ transplantation and regenerative medicine. Recent groundbreaking achievements in regenerative medicine have received unprecedented coverage by the media, fueling interest and enthusiasm in transplant clinicians and researchers. Regenerative medicine is changing the premise of solid organ transplantation, requiring transplantation investigators to become familiar with regenerative medicine investigations that can be extremely relevant to their work. Similarly, regenerative medicine investigators need to be aware of the needs of the transplant field to bring these two fields together for greater results. - Bridges the gap between regenerative medicine and solid organ transplantation and highlights reasons for collaboration - Explains the importance and future potential of regenerative medicine to the transplant community - Illustrates to regenerative medicine investigators the needs of the transplant discipline to drive and guide investigations in the most promising directions
