Is elevated calcium phosphate product after renal transplantation a risk factor for graft failure?
Abnormalities of mineral metabolism are common early after renal TXP. An elevated serum Ca(adj) at three months post-TXP increases the risk for recipient death, while an elevated Ca(adj)P and Ca(adj) later in the first post-TXP year increases the risk of long-term death-censored graft loss.
Intratracheal transplantation of UCB-derived MSCs attenuates E. coli-induced ALI primarily by down-modulating the inflammatory process and enhancing bacterial clearance.
