Is the synthesis by fine-needle aspiration biopsy cultures of IL-7 , IL-16 and IL-18 significantly associated with acute rejection in kidney transplants?
IL-18 may play the activation role that has been attributed to IL-12 which previously, we did not find to correlate significantly with acute rejection in KTX. IL-16 seems to play an activation role rather than an inhibition of anti-graft reaction. We confirm that RANTES is not significantly associated with acute rejection in KTX.
Various formal curricular approaches have little differential effect on students' performance on the USMLE.
