Extractions: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 HRSA Press Office Nearly 27,000 individuals received transplants last year HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt announced today that 26,984 Americans received an organ transplant last year, setting a new national record. The increase in organ donations come in the wake of concentrated efforts led by HHS to boost consent rates for organ donation, which began in 2001. "I am heartened that the promise of organ donation continues to save more and more lives every year," Secretary Leavitt said. "For each life saved, hope, for others in need, grows; we must continue to grow and share that hope across the nation." Deceased donors can give multiple organs that will improve or save the lives of several people. In 2004, there were more than 20,000 transplant operations utilizing organs from more than 7,000 deceased donors, an increase of close to 11 percent over the 2003 total. That increase was the largest in the last 10 years and the second highest annual increase since national records began to be collected in 1987. Organ transplants from deceased donors rose by 1,368 (18,650 to 20,018) from 2003 to 2004, a 7.3 percent increase. In addition, transplant operations using an organ donated by a living person also hit a new high 6,966 in 2004. That number grew by 154 (6,812 to 6,966) from 2003 to 2004, a 2.3 percent increase. Organ donations from living persons are limited to a single organ, usually the kidney, or piece of a single organ. Human beings have two kidneys but can lead healthy lives with only one.

Neural Cell Transplants Fight Immune Attack In Mice With Multiple Sclerosis
The July 14, 2005 Nature publishes unexpected results in which adult mouse neural stem cells injected into mice with multiple sclerosis (MS) suppressed
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/07/050714003552.htm

Extractions: Source National Multiple Sclerosis Society Date Print this page Email to friend Researchers at the San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy) published unexpected results of studies in which immature nerve cells (adult mouse neural stem cells) injected into the blood of mice with MS-like disease were able to suppress the immune attacks that damage the brain and spinal cord tissues. The study, funded in part by the National MS Society, is being reported by Drs. Stefano Pluchino, Gianvito Martino and colleagues in the July 14, 2005 issue of Nature. These surprising findings, if confirmed, suggest that neural stem cells that reside in the adult brain may not only serve as replacement cells for tissue repair, but in some circumstances may also protect the brain from inflammation. Further research is needed to confirm these results and to address multiple issues involved in translating such experiments into finding ways to fight the immune attack and protect and repair brain tissues in people with MS.

EuroBank - QLTI-CT-2000-00010
Aims to develop a datadase of cell lines and DNA drawn from over 500 bone marrow or cord blood transplants across Europe and clinical outcomes.
http://eurotransplantbank.org/

Extractions: Welcome Bone marrow and cord-blood transplants are life-saving therapy for patients with Leukemia, Lymphoma and other haematological disorders. Over 4000 such transplants are carried out in Europe every year. Unfortunately, 40% of patients develop complications because the donor's bone marrow attacks their body. This can happen even where the donors and patients are as closely matched as brothers and sisters. This project aims to develop a 'bank' of cell lines and DNA drawn from over 500 transplants across Europe. The details are stored in a database which will enable scientists and clinicians to find out more about the risks to patients after bone marrow or cord blood transplants. The importance of this is that a better understanding of genetic matching will enable doctors to choose the best type of transplant, donor and after-care for the patient. The purpose of this web portal is to allow the participants to communicate with one another on-line.
Bone Loss After Liver Transplants Can Be Prevented

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-07/jws-bla072005.php

Extractions: amolnar@wiley.com A new study found that the drug used to treat osteoporosis, when used in combination with calcium and vitamin D, can prevent the additional bone loss that commonly occurs after liver transplants. The treatment also helped stabilize bone loss in patients who already had osteoporosis, and helped improve their bone mineral density (BMD). http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/livertransplantion Osteoporosis occurs in a large number of patients with end stage liver disease, and is often worsened by the immunosuppressive drugs normally given to prevent rejection following liver transplants. To date, however, studies have not been conducted and no guidelines exist for the treatment of bone loss following liver transplant. In order to determine the effectiveness of medication in preventing bone loss after liver transplants, researchers led by Gunda Millonig of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Innsbruck Medical University in Innsbruck, Austria, assessed osteoporosis in 136 pre-liver transplant patients between January 1999 and December 2003. All patients on the waiting list were given 1000 mg of calcium and 400 IE of vitamin D daily, and bisphosphonate (alendronate, the drug used to treat osteoporosis) was given following liver transplant to those patients who had either osteopenia (a decrease in bone density that can lead to osteoporosis) or osteoporosis before transplant. Patients whose BMD decreased following the transplant were also given bisphosphonate.

Extractions: In an emergency room at a Finnish hospital, a man lay unconscious on an operating table as surgeons labored to reattach the hand he had lost hours earlier while chopping wood. Medical miracles take many forms, but few are as vivid and immediate as this: As the tiny blood vessels were sutured back together, the patient's hand flushed from porcelain to pink. The delicate tendons of the palm revived, and the skin's granite glaze began to soften. The man's fortunes had taken a remarkable turn. So, too, had those of Dr. Maria Siemionow, a surgical resident assisting in the operation. "That you could restore to people a part of themselves that had been lost, and actually see it become vital again, was miraculous to me," said Siemionow, a native of Poland who trained in Finland and the United States. "I have never forgotten that day."

CHFpatients.com - Heart Transplant - Pregnancy And Transplant
When mothers had wellfunctioning transplants, the birth weight of surviving babies Title Jefferson Study Evaluates Impact Of transplants on Pregnancy
http://www.chfpatients.com/tx/txpregnancy.htm

Extractions: Please read this! A reader recently e-mailed me, upset that this page made getting pregnant after a heart transplant sound like a bad idea - so I did further research. That research convinced me that getting pregnant after an organ transplant is very risky - but exactly how risky is impossible to know. The risks are worse for the baby than for the mother. In Medpseak (doctor talk), "successful" has a different meaning. In Medspeak, if 100 heart recipients get pregnant and two of them have fairly healthy babies but the other 98 babies die, then "women heart recipients can successfully have children" is a valid statement. Doctors are trained to think this way. Please be aware of this when reading medical studies. May, 2000 - Provided there is good organ function, pregnancy may be attempted. However, unpredictable problems can happen, raising concern among doctors and patients alike about the safety of pregnancy after heart transplant. Each group of organ recipients has its own issues and problems specific to the original disease and the specific transplanted organ. Immunosuppressive therapy must be maintained throughout pregnancy.

History Of Stem Cell Transplants
The history of advancements in stem cell transplantation is intricately linked to the development and growth of the National Marrow Donor Program.
http://www.marrow.org/NMDP/history_stem_cell_transplants.html

Extractions: Early Stem Cell History Nearly a century ago, physicians administered bone marrow by mouth to patients with anemia and leukemia. Although such therapy was unsuccessful, laboratory experimenters eventually demonstrated that mice with defective marrow could be restored to health with infusions into the blood stream of marrow taken from other mice. This caused physicians to speculate whether it was feasible to transplant bone marrow from one human to another (allogeneic transplantation). Among the early attempts to do this were several transplants carried out in France following a radiation accident in the late 1950s. Return to Top Discovery of HLA System Performing marrow transplants in humans was not attempted on a larger scale until after a French medical researcher made a critical discovery about the human immune system. In 1958 Jean Dausset described the first of many human histocompatibility antigens. These proteins, found on the surface of most cells in the body, are called human leukocyte antigens, or HLA antigens. These HLA antigens give the body's immune system the ability to determine what belongs in the body and what does not belong. Whenever the immune system does not recognize the series of antigens on a cell that mark it as belonging in the body, it creates antibodies and other substances to destroy the cell. Objects that the body looks for and destroys are infection-causing bacteria, viruses, tumor cells and foreign objects such as splinters. In this way, the immune system defends the body against things that can enter the body and cause harm.
