    Abstract Innovative bioengineering strategies utilizing extracellular matrix (ECM) based scaffolds derived from decellularized tissue offer new prospects for restoring damaged uterine tissue. Despite successful fertility restoration in small animal models, the translation to larger and more clinically relevant models have not yet been assessed. Thus, our study investigated the feasibility to use a 6 cm

    Abstract Objective: To determine the utility of symptoms, signs, comorbidities and background variables for the prediction of outcome of treatment in iNPH.
    Methods: A prospective observational study of consecutively included iNPH patients, who underwent neurological, physiotherapeutic and neuropsychological assessments before and after shunt surgery. The primary outcome measure was the total change on the iNPH scale, and patients were defined as improved postoperatively if they had improved by at least five points on that scale.
    Results: 143 iNPH patients were included, and 73% of those were improved after surgery. None of the examined symptoms or signs could predict which patients would improve after shunt surgery. A dominant subjective complaint of memory problems at baseline was predictive of non-improvement. The reported comorbidities, duration of symptoms and BMI were the same in improved and non-improved patients. Each of the symptom domains (gait, neuropsychology, balance, and continence) as well as the total iNPH scale score improved significantly (from median 53 to 69, p < 0.001). The proportions of patients with shuffling gait, broad-based gait, paratonic rigidity and retropulsion all decreased significantly.
    Discussion: This study confirms that the recorded clinical signs, symptoms, and impairments in the adopted clinical tests are characteristic findings in iNPH, based on that most of them improved after shunt surgery. However, our clinical data did not enable predictions of whether patients would respond to shunt surgery, indicating that the phenotype is unrelated to the reversibility of the iNPH state and should mainly support diagnosis. Absence of specific signs should not be used to exclude patients from treatment.

    Abstract Decellularized tissue is generally considered immune privileged after transplantation and is an attractive scaffold type for tissue regeneration, including applications for infertility treatment. However, the immune response following transplantation of decellularized tissue is insufficiently studied, in particular after they have been recellularized with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Therefore, we replaced a large uterus segment with a bioengineered graft developed from decellularized uterus tissue and analyzed the immune response during the first 4 months in acellular or MSCs-recellularized scaffolds in the rat. Immunohistochemistry-stained infiltrating immune cells and plasma levels for 16 cytokines and chemokines were quantified. Results revealed that MSCs created an advantageous microenvironment by increasing anti-inflammatory interleukin 10 levels, and increasing the population of FOXP3

    Abstract Background and purpose: To examine the effect of delayed compared to early planning of shunt surgery on survival, in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a long-term follow-up case-control study of patients exposed to a severe delay of treatment was performed.
    Methods: In 2010-2011 our university hospital was affected by an administrative and economic failure that led to postponement of several elective neurosurgical procedures. This resulted in an unintentional delay of planning of treatment for a group of iNPH patients, referred to as iNPH
    Results: Median follow-up time was 6.0 years. Crude 4-year mortality was 39.4% in iNPH
    Conclusions: The present data indicate that shunt surgery is effective in iNPH and that early treatment increases survival.

    Abstract The Swedish Society of Uroradiology has revised their computed tomography (CT) guidelines regarding iodine contrast media-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). They are more cautious compared to the European Society of Urogenital Radiology and the American College of Radiology since the actual risk of CI-AKI remains uncertain in patients with moderate to severe kidney damage due to a lack of prospective controlled studies and mainly based on retrospective propensity score-matched studies with low-grade evidence. Another source of uncertainty is the imprecision of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations. However, randomized hydration studies indictae an upper limit risk of CI-AKI of about 5% for outpatients with a GFR in the range of 30-44 or 45-59 mL/min/1.73m

    Abstract Background: Malignancies in the urinary tract and the kidney graft are quite common after kidney transplantation. In some selected cases tumours develop from donor-derived tissue.
    Objectives: We hypothesised that there is a clinical value to investigate donor/recipient origin in urologic malignancies in renal transplant recipients.
    Methods: In this retrospective study, including patients transplanted between the years 1969 and 2014 at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, 11 patients with malignancies in urinary tract and 4 patients with malignancies in kidney transplants were investigated. Donor/recipient origin of tumour tissue was analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes or by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH analysis) of sex chromosomes. HLA genotype and sex chromosomes of the tumour were compared to the known HLA genotype and sex chromosomes of recipient and donor.
    Results: Three of ten cancers in the urinary tract and three of four cancers in the kidney transplants were donor-derived.
    Conclusions: We suggest that urologic malignancies in renal transplant recipients can be investigated for transplant origin. In addition to conventional therapy the allograft immune response against these tumours can be valuable to treat donor-derived cancers.

    Abstract Introduction: Intestinal cold ischemia and subsequent reperfusion during transplantation result in various degrees of mucosal injury ranging from mild edema to extensive mucosal loss. Mucosal barrier impairment favors bacterial translocation and fluid loss and raises nutritional challenges. The injured intestine also releases proinflammatory mediators and upregulates various epitopes toward an inflammatory phenotype. We studied the process of mucosal injury and repair during the early period after intestinal transplantation from a histological and molecular standpoint.
    Materials and methods: Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used as donors and recipients. Donor intestines were perfused and stored in saline for 3 h, then transplanted heterotopically using microvascular anastomoses. Intestinal graft segments were obtained after 20 min, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after reperfusion. Histology studies (goblet cell count, morphometry), immunofluorescence, and western blot for several tight junction proteins, apoptosis, and inflammation-related proteins were performed.
    Results: Cold storage led to extensive epithelial detachment, whereas reperfusion resulted in extensive villus loss (about 60% of the initial length), and goblet cell numbers were drastically reduced. Over the first 24 h, gradual morphologic and molecular recovery was noted, although several molecular alterations persisted (increased apoptosis and inflammation, altered expression of several tight junctions).
    Conclusions: The current data suggest that a near-complete morphologic recovery from a moderate mucosal injury occurs within the first 24 h after intestinal transplantation. However, several molecular alterations persist and need to be considered when designing intestinal transplant experiments and choosing sampling and endpoints.
