    Abstract Background: Passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) is a rare post solid organ transplantation complication, usually occurring after ABO- or Rh-mismatched transplantation. In general, PLS can lead to severe hemolytic anemia, but it is usually a self-limited disease. Most PLS cases start with a decreased hemoglobin (Hb) level and require donor type RBC transfusion as the only treatment.
    Case report: In our case, the allograft was given by an O-type Rh-D(+) donor and received by an A-type Rh-D(+) recipient. The PLS was developed on the post-operative day (POD) 10 with an increased indirect bilirubin (IDBIL) level as the first clinical symptom, while the Hb level did not significantly decrease. The PLS was diagnosed on POD 17 by a direct antiglobulin test (DAT) and a blood group test. The patient quickly became stable on POD 18 after a total of eight units of O-type RBC transfusion. Kidney function was uneventful in the entire PLS period.
    Conclusion: In ABO-mismatched kidney transplantation, an increased level of IDBIL should be considered as the first symptom of PLS even without an Hb decrease. The kidney function may be not affected by the PLS symptoms.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of interferon (IFN)-based therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on relevant qualified studies. We searched for pertinent studies using keywords via PubMed, Cochrane and Embase databases. Studies from other pertinent sources and that were published before September 2021 were also reviewed.
    Methods: For each study, we assessed and synthesized the outcomes by relative risk (RR) or weighted mean difference (WMD) combined with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A total of 8 studies involving 2442 patients with COVID-19 were evaluated in this meta-analysis.
    Results: The IFN group had a significant decrease in ICU admissions (RR: 0.705; 95% CI, 0.515-0.964) and death (RR: 0.416; 95% CI, 0.217-0.797), and increased duration of ICU stay (WMD: 0.996; 95% CI, 0.834-1.158) compared with the control group in the randomized clinical trial (RCT) subgroup analysis. In non-RCT subgroup analysis, the IFN group showed a significant increase in discharge rate (RR: 1.052; 95% CI, 1.004-1.101) compared with the control group.
    Conclusion: IFN therapy appears to have better efficacy than non-IFN therapy as sedatives in patients with COVID-19 in terms of decreasing ICU admissions and death and increasing discharge. However, more high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

    Abstract With a shortage of organs for transplant, the use of marginal donors can be an effective measure to meet the shortfall. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are considered an absolute contraindication for organ donation because of the high invasive potential. Currently, organ transplantation from donors with a past history of MDS has not been reported. In this paper, we report the successful clinical experience of one liver transplantation and two kidney transplantations, with organs donated by a 39-year-old patient diagnosed with a past history of MDS following intracranial hemorrhage. Four and a half years after transplantation, the three recipients are all doing well. However, it is still not clear to what extent organs donated by patients with a past history of MDS can be safely transplanted. This report provides support for the careful use of marginal donors. With effective treatment and full peer assessment, livers and kidneys from donors with a past history of MDS may be safely transplanted.

    Abstract Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been demonstrated to be more effective in mitigating ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of donation after circulatory death (DCD) organs than cold storage (CS), yet the underlying mechanism remains obscure. We aimed to propose a novel therapeutic approach to ameliorate IRI in DCD liver transplantation. Twelve clinical liver samples were randomly assigned to HMP or CS treatment and subsequent transcriptomics analysis was performed. By combining in vivo HMP models, we discovered that HMP attenuated inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in DCD liver through a SEPRINA3-mediated PI3Kδ/AKT signaling cascade. Moreover, in the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model of BRL-3A, overexpression of SERPINA3 mitigated H/R-induced apoptosis, while SERPINA3 knockdown exacerbated cell injury. Idelalisib (IDE) treatment also reversed the protective effect of SERPINA3 overexpression. Overall, our research provided new insights into therapeutic strategies and identified potential novel molecular targets for therapeutic intervention against DCD liver.

    Abstract Objectives: Drain tube management after liver transplant is controversial. A new peritoneal drainage management protocol was developed to validate clinical characteristics, such as drain characteristics, postoperative complications, duration of postoperative hospital stay, changes in albumin levels, and 30-day readmission rates.
    Materials and methods: Data from 183 consecutive patients who underwent deceased donor liver transplant at our institution between January 2019 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. A new drain management protocol was implemented on August 1, 2021, which included early removal of the drain tube when the serum albumin level was >3 g/dL and nonchylous fluid drainage was <200 mL/day.
    Results: When we compared the traditional and new drain management protocol groups (n = 131 vs n = 52), the new management protocol group showed a decrease in the median duration of intraperitoneal drainage. In addition, the median length of postoperative hospital stay decreased from 33 to 27 days and serum albumin levels returned to normal faster at postoperative 3 weeks. No significant differences were found in postoperative hemorrhage, hematoma, hydrops abdominis, infections, biliary complications, orin the rate ofreinterventions and 30-day rehospitalizations.
    Conclusions: The new management protocol was associated with fewer postoperative hospital days and faster recovery than traditional management. Our findings may aid in the development of new drain policy recommendations based on preexisting risk factors.

    Abstract Establishing a steatotic liver transplantation animal model can be a challenging process, which requires complex microsurgical technologies. The present study established a novel rat model of stable steatotic liver transplantation for marginal liver graft research, which notably minimized the number of animals used for the experiment. Briefly, male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=90) were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD; 60%, kJ) or standard chow diet (SCD) for 8 weeks. The liver enzymes and lipid levels were assessed every week, and the degree of steatosis was determined via hematoxylin and eosin and Oil Red O staining. The results demonstrated that there were no significant differences in alanine aminotransaminase and aspartate aminotransferase levels between the SCD and HFD groups (P>0.05), whereas the level of plasma triglyceride (TG) increased by 1.76-fold in the HFD group at week 2, and progressively decreased to baseline levels by week 8. Significantly higher levels of TG were observed in the HFD group compared with the SCD group at week 2 (P<0.05). In addition, the levels of plasma glucose (P<0.05), portal insulin (P<0.05) and content of liver lipid (P<0.01) increased in the HFD group compared with the SCD group. After 6 weeks, the liver steatosis was successfully formed and stable. Consequently, a rat liver developed hepatic macrovesicular steatosis >60%, which was subsequently used for transplantation after double-lobectomy. Post-transplantation survival rates in the HFD and SCD groups were as follows: Week 1, 80 vs. 100% and 1 month, 20 vs. 100%. A total of 20 rats were not sacrificed by performing double-lobectomy for biopsy. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that rat liver double-lobectomy may be safely applied in steatotic liver transplantation without the need to sacrifice a large number of animals.

    Abstract Background: The aims of this study were to investigate the pathologic manifestation of pretransplant biopsy and to provide an accurate assessment method for liver graft of China Donation after Citizen's Death (CDCD).
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed based on clinical and biopsy data of 96 CDCD liver transplantations completed between January 2012 and December 2017. The pretransplant pathologic sections were semiquantitatively scored according to Banff Schema recommendations on liver allograft pathology. Graft overall survival (OS) and early allograft dysfunction (EAD) rates were observed.
    Results: The histologic analysis of the 96 CDCD liver graft biopsy specimens was summarized, including portal area neutrophilic infiltrate, macrovesicular steatosis, microvesicular steatosis, and hepatocellular swelling. Among these pathologic characteristics, only portal area neutrophilic infiltrate ≥20% was an independent risk factor for graft survival, although it has limited effect on the recipient's short-term prognosis.
    Conclusions: We found that portal area neutrophilic infiltrate ≥20% was an independent risk factors for long-term graft survival. According to this criterion, we can identify liver transplant recipients at risk for poor prognosis and make timely interventions.

    Abstract Renal transplantation is currently the most effective treatment for end-stage renal disease. However, chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cABMR) remains a serious obstacle for the long-term survival of patients with renal transplantation and a problem to be solved. At present, the role and mechanism underlying immune factors such as T- and B- cell subsets in cABMR after renal transplantation remain unclear. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) from cABMR and control subjects was performed to define the transcriptomic landscape at single-cell resolution. A comprehensive scRNA-seq analysis was performed. The results indicated that most cell types in the cABMR patients exhibited an intense interferon response and release of proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, we found that the expression of MT-ND6, CXCL8, NFKBIA, NFKBIZ, and other genes were up-regulated in T- and B-cells and these genes were associated with pro-inflammatory response and immune regulation. Western blot and qRT-PCR experiments also confirmed the up-regulated expression of these genes in cABMR. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the overexpressed genes in T- and B-cells were mainly enriched in inflammatory pathways, including the TNF, IL-17, and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Additionally, MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways were also involved in the occurrence and development of cABMR. This is consistent with the experimental results of Western blot. Trajectory analysis assembled the T-cell subsets into three differentiation paths with distinctive phenotypic and functional prog rams. CD8 effector T cells and γδ T cells showed three different differentiation trajectories, while CD8_MAI T cells and naive T cells primarily had two differentiation trajectories. Cell-cell interaction analysis revealed strong T/B cells and neutrophils activation in cABMR. Thus, the study offers new insight into pathogenesis and may have implications for the identification of novel therapeutic targets for cABMR.
