    Abstract OBJETIVO: Avaliar a utilização de osso canino conservado em mel como implante em defeitos ósseos criados em fêmures de cães. MÉTODOS: Doze caninos adultos foram submetidos a remoção de um segmento ósseo retangular compreendendo um terço do diâmetro do osso por 2cm de comprimento da diáfise femural. Posteriormente foram inseridos dois pinos intramedulares e fixado um implante ósseo conservado de tamanho compatível com o defeito através de cerclagem com fio de aço. Os animais foram avaliados radiograficamente no dia da intervenção cirúrgica e aos 30 e 60 dias. RESULTADOS: Após o final dos 60 dias foi possível verificar incorporação do implante em oito animais enquanto que em quatro houve reabsorção do material implantado. CONCLUSÃO: O mel pode ser adequado como conservante de ossos.

RESULTADOS: Após o final dos 60 dias foi possível verificar incorporação do implante em oito animais enquanto que em quatro houve reabsorção do material implantado. CONCLUSÃO: O mel pode ser adequado como conservante de ossos. PURPOSE: Evaluate the use of canine bone conserved in honey as graft in the correction of bone defects in dogs. METHODS: Twelve mongrel dogs were used, male and female, weighing between 6 and 15 kg, comprising a single experimental group. After, the left femur was accessed in the lateral side of its shaft and a segment of two centimeters length by one third of the diameter was removed. Two intrammedulary Steinman pins were inserted by normograde way and the defect was covered with the bone graft and fixed with cerclage wire. The animals were radiographically evaluated in the day of the surgery, 30 and 60 days after. RESULTS: By the end of the 60 days these dogs were euthaniezed for gross and microscopycal evaluation. Eight animals presented the incorporation of the graft and the other four had bone resorption in the inplantation site. CONCLUSION: The bone preserved in honey is able to be used in bone grafting.

    Abstract Complement plays important roles in both ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of solid organ allografts. One approach to possibly improve outcomes after transplantation is the use of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), which blocks the first step in both the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation and also inhibits the contact, coagulation, and kinin systems. C1-INH can also directly block leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. C1-INH contrasts with eculizumab and other distal inhibitors, which do not affect C4b or C3b deposition or noncomplement pathways. Authors of reports on trials in kidney transplant recipients have suggested that C1-INH treatment may reduce IRI and delayed graft function, based on decreased requirements for dialysis in the first month after transplantation. This effect was particularly marked with grafts with Kidney Disease Profile Index ≥ 85. Other clinical studies and models suggest that C1-INH may decrease sensitization and donor-specific antibody production and might improve outcomes in AMR, including in patients who are refractory to other modalities. However, the studies have been small and often only single-center. This article reviews clinical data and ongoing trials with C1-INH in transplant recipients, compares the results with those of other complement inhibitors, and summarizes potentially productive directions for future research.

    Abstract Chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (caAMR) is arguably the most important cause of late kidney allograft failure. However, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments for acute or chronic AMR and there is no consensus on effective treatment. Many trials in transplantation have failed because of slow and/or inadequate enrollment, and no new agent has been approved by the FDA for transplantation in over a decade. Several lines of evidence suggest that interleukin-6 is an important driver of AMR, and clazakizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that neutralizes interleukin-6, has shown promising results in phase 2 studies. The IMAGINE trial (Interleukin-6 Blockade Modifying Antibody-mediated Graft Injury and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline) (NCT03744910) is the first to be considered by the FDA using a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint (slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate decline >1 y) for accelerated approval and is the only ongoing clinical trial for the treatment of chronic rejection. This trial offers us the opportunity to advance the care for our patients in need, and this article is a call to action for all transplant providers caring for patients with caAMR.

    Abstract Limited availability of donor organs and risk of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) seriously restrict organ transplantation. Therapeutics that can prevent or reduce IRI could potentially increase the number of transplants by increasing use of borderline organs and decreasing discards. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is an acute phase reactant and serine protease inhibitor that limits inflammatory tissue damage. Purified plasma-derived AAT has been well tolerated in more than 30 years of use to prevent emphysema in AAT-deficient individuals. Accumulating evidence suggests that AAT has additional anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective effects including improving mitochondrial membrane stability, inhibiting apoptosis, inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B activation, modulating pro- vs anti-inflammatory cytokine balance, and promoting immunologic tolerance. Cell culture and animal studies have shown that AAT limits tissue injury and promotes cell and tissue survival. AAT can promote tolerance in animal models by downregulating early inflammation and favoring induction and stabilization of regulatory T cells. The diverse intracellular and immune-modulatory effects of AAT and its well-established tolerability in patients suggest that it might be useful in transplantation. Clinical trials, planned and/or in progress, should help determine whether the promise of the animal and cellular studies will be fulfilled by improving outcomes in human organ transplantation.

    Abstract Complement is a major contributor to inflammation and graft injury. This system is especially important in ischemia-reperfusion injury/delayed graft function as well as in acute and chronic antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). The latter is increasingly recognized as a major cause of late graft loss, for which we have few effective therapies. C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) regulates several pathways which contribute to both acute and chronic graft injuries. However, C1-INH spares the alternative pathway and the membrane attack complex (C5-9) so innate antibacterial defenses remain intact. Plasma-derived C1-INH has been used to treat hereditary angioedema for more than 30 years with excellent safety. Studies with C1-INH in transplant recipients are limited, but have not revealed any unique toxicity or serious adverse events attributed to the protein. Extensive data from animal and ex vivo models suggest that C1-INH ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injury. Initial clinical studies suggest this effect may allow transplantation of donor organs which are now discarded because the risk of primary graft dysfunction is considered too great. Although the incidence of severe early AMR is declining, accumulating evidence strongly suggests that complement is an important mediator of chronic AMR, a major cause of late graft loss. Thus, C1-INH may also be helpful in preserving function of established grafts. Early clinical studies in transplantation suggest significant beneficial effects of C1-INH with minimal toxicity. Recent results encourage continued investigation of this already-available therapeutic agent.
