BACKGROUND: Duodenal graft perforation (DGP) is a serious complication after pancreas transplantation (PTx) and can lead to pancreas graft loss. Here, we investigated whether the placement of a decompression tube (DT) for the duodenal graft during PTx is clinically useful for preventing DGP. METHODS: This study included 54 patients who received PTx for type 1 diabetes at our institution between 2000 and 2020. Among these cases, 28 included DT placement (51.9%; DT group), and the remaining 26 without DT placement (non-DT group) were used as historical controls for comparison to the cases with DT placement...

Monkeypox is a rapidly spreading infection worldwide and is a public health concern, especially with newly reported fatality cases. The characteristics and disease course of monkeypox infection in transplant recipients remain elusive because no case reports have been published detailing its clinical presentation and outcome in this population. We report a case of a kidney transplant recipient who developed end-stage renal disease secondary to HIV-associated nephropathy and manifested monkeypox infection after kidney transplantation...

BACKGROUND: To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of patients with nocturia after kidney transplantation (KT) and the association between nocturnal polyuria and sleep quality. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, a patient who consented was evaluated using the following items: international prostate symptom QOL score, nocturia-quality of life score, overactive bladder symptom score, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, bladder diary, uroflowmetry, and bioimpedance analysis...

CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a case of a 65-year-old patient who underwent heart transplantation. After the surgery, left proptosis, conjunctival chemosis, and ipsilateral palpebral ecchymosis were found while he was still intubated. A retrobulbar hematoma was suspected, confirmed by a computed tomography scan. Initially, expectant management was considered, but with the appearance of an afferent pupillary defect, the patient underwent orbital decompression and posterior collection drainage, which prevented visual impairment...

Effective therapies for multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms, especially Gram-negative bacteria, are becoming rare. Also, solid-organ transplant recipients are at high risk of MDR Gram-negative bacilli infection. Urinary tract infections are the most frequent bacterial infections in kidney transplant recipients and are an important cause of mortality after renal transplantation. We describe a case of complicated urinary tract infection in a kidney transplant patient due to extensively drug-resistant (XDR) K...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is known to be an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms to multiple antibiotics. Bloodstream infection caused by S. maltophilia is a potentially fatal complication, especially in recipients of umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT). Infrequent reports of S. maltophilia skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), including metastatic cellulitis and ecthyma gangrenosum, have been reported as wound infections. Metastatic cellulitis lesions due to S...

A heart-lung transplant is considered in patients with end-stage heart and lung disease. However, there is no report of a patient receiving a staged heart transplant followed by a lung transplant. Our case report describes a successful left single lung transplant for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis 6 years after a heart transplant. This case illustrates that this approach can avoid significantly increased wait time until transplant, and it shows that early interstitial lung disease may not be a contraindication for the heart transplant...

Aplastic anemia is potentially fatal, particularly if the disease does not respond to immunotherapy and progresses to severe pancytopenia. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant from an HLA-matched sibling donor, the first-line treatment in patients younger than 40 years, is used as a curative treatment option in severe aplastic anemia. The availability of an identical twin donor is infrequent, and there is limited experience in this context. Additionally, the choices for a conditioning regimen for a syngeneic transplant to prevent engraftment failure and the necessity of graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis are controversial...

A persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a congenital anomaly wherein the left superior cardinal vein fails to regress. We describe the case of a successful orthotopic heart transplant using a donor heart with a PLSVC and congenital absence of a right superior vena cava (SVC) in a recipient with normal anatomy. After donor cardiectomy, the donor organ's PLSVC was ligated near the insertion site into the coronary sinus. The recipient underwent cardiectomy such that the native SVC was left with a long right atrial cuff...

BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that split renal function calculated by computed tomography (CT) volumetry is equally or more useful than that calculated by nuclear renography for donated kidney side selection. However, it remains unclear if CT volumetry accurately reflects split renal function as measured by nuclear renography. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of CT volumetry. METHODS: Data from 141 donors who underwent living donor nephrectomy at Nara Medical University from March 2007 to June 2021 were reviewed...

Despite several advances in living donor liver transplant (LDLT), many potential living liver donors cannot donate their organs to their relatives because of blood group incompatibility and unsuitable anatomy. Liver paired exchange (LPE) can be used to overcome incompatibilities between living donor-recipient pairs. In this study, we report the early and late results of 3 and 5 LDLTs performed simultaneously to initiate the more complex LPE program. By demonstrating that our center is capable of performing up to 5 LDLTs, we have taken an essential step for establishing a complex LPE program...

BACKGROUND: Accumulated knowledge on the outcomes related to size mismatch in lung transplantation derives from predicted total lung capacity equations rather than individualized measurements of donors and recipients. The increasing availability of computed tomography (CT) makes it possible to measure the lung volumes of donors and recipients before transplantation. We hypothesize that CT-derived lung volumes predict a need for surgical graft reduction and primary graft dysfunction. METHODS: Donors from the local organ procurement organization and recipients from our hospital from 2012 to 2018 were included if their CT exams were available...

BACKGROUND: The combination of nucleoside analogs and long-term hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) is considered to be the standard regimen for preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence after liver transplant (LT). However, long-term use of HBIG causes many adverse effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nucleoside analogs entecavir combined with short-term HBIG in preventing HBV recurrence after LT. METHODS: This retrospective study assessed the effect a combination of entecavir and short-term HBIG in prophylaxis of HBV recurrence among 56 LT recipients who had undergone the procedure because of HBV-associated liver disease at our center between December 2017 and December 2021...

PURPOSE: Allogeneic synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) effectively promote meniscus healing in micro minipigs. We investigated the effect of autologous synovial MSC transplantation on meniscus healing in a micro minipig model of meniscus repair showing synovitis after synovial harvesting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Synovium was harvested from the left knee of the micro minipigs after arthrotomy and used to prepare synovial MSCs. The left medial meniscus in the avascular region was injured, repaired, and transplanted with synovial MSCs...

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) as is acute kidney injury (AKI). The differentiation between CKD vs AKI is often difficult and sometimes the both may coexist. A combined kidney-liver transplant (CKLT) may result in a kidney transplant in patients whose renal function is likely to recover or at least who have stable renal function post-transplant. We retrospectively enrolled 2742 patients who underwent living donor liver transplant at our center from 2007 to 2019...
