Transplants Transplantation - medical surgical procedure by which a tissue or organ is removed and replaced by a corresponding part, either from another part of the body or from another individual. A life-saving medical technique, transplantation also is an important tool in experimental biology; it is used to investigate endocrine gland functions, to study the interactions of cells in developing embryos, and to culture malignant tissue in cancer research. Types of Transplanted Tissues and Organs Organs donated from one identical twin to another are usually viable because such organs are antigenically identical, but even organs transplanted between individuals who are fairly closely matched antigenically, such as siblings, have a good chance of being rejected. An antigenic typing system based on human lymphocyte antigens (HLA typing), pioneered by Jean Dausset in Paris and Rose Payne at Stanford Univ., has made it possible to identify histocompatibility and minimize rejection. Today, most recipients of transplants are maintained on immunosuppressive drugs. The side-effects of such antirejection drugs, which can themselves be life threatening, include increased risk of infection, cancer, diabetes, and other conditions. In time, however, many patients develop a tolerance to the implanted organs, and some can eventually be weaned off the drugs.

New microsurgical devices and better anti-rejection drugs have made possible the transplanting of skin, muscle and bone from a dead person to another in particular, those who suffer facial deformities. But the main roadblock to the procedure may be the ethical questions surrounding the issue. British plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Butler from London's Royal Free Hospital called for a debate on the ethics of face transplants.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com British kitty kidney transplants OK'd Story Tools LONDON, England (Reuters) The British, long ridiculed for pampering their pets, can now indulge their cats with a costly kidney transplant. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons said on Friday it has given the go-ahead for the operation after its success in the United States prompted British cat lovers to demand the right to transplants here. "We are not encouraging transplantation or opposing it but we want to make sure that there are guidelines in place for the profession to be able to follow," Ian Holloway, external relations officer at the College, told Reuters. The operation will come at a price. In the United States, cat kidney transplants have cost between $7,000 and $10,000, and vets estimate the cost in Britain at between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds ($12,600 and $15,800). Even so, the procedure will extend a cat's life by an average of only two years and in most cases the cat will remain on medication for the rest of its life. The rise of kidney transplants for pets has caused uproar among animal welfare groups who fear the lives of stray moggies will be sacrificed to keep much-loved pets alive.

Because the sisters have identical genetic material, there was no need for anti-rejection drugs, which have significant side effects. On Monday, Yarber, 25

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) , about 5,300 liver transplantations were performed in the United States in 2002. The liver is the second most commonly transplanted major organ, after the kidney , so it is clear that liver disease is a common and serious problem in this country. It is important for liver transplant candidates and their families to understand the basic process involved with liver transplants, to appreciate some of the challenges and complications that face liver transplant recipients (people who receive livers), and to recognize symptoms that should alert recipients to seek medical help. Some basics are as follows: The liver donor is the person who gives, or donates, all or part of his or her liver to the waiting patient who needs it. Donors are usually people who have died and wish to donate their organs. Some people, however, donate part of their liver to another person (often a relative) while living. Orthotopic liver transplantation refers to a procedure in which a failed liver is removed from the patient's body and a healthy donor liver is transplanted into the same location. In this case, the liver donor is someone who has recently died. The procedure is the most common method used to transplant livers.

Send Email Keratoconus and Cornea Transplants Introduction I have an eye condition called keratoconus. It's a disease in which the cornea (the outer surface of the eye in front of the pupil) becomes cone-shaped rather than spherical, and this results in extreme astigmatism. Glasses can't correct this vision problem, but hard contact lenses often can. Unfortunately, the distortion of the cornea makes it very difficult to fit contacts comfortably for a keratoconic my eye doctor described it as "trying to balance a saucer on the end of a football." Ultimately, the cornea may suffer scarring which results in vision loss that can't be corrected by contacts. At that point, the next step is to replace the damaged cornea with a new one through cornea transplant surgery. This is only necessary for about 10 percent of keratoconics, but I'm one of them. There's much more about that a bit further down this page... The purpose of this web site is to provide information and resources to those who have keratoconus, and particularly those who have had, or are considering, a cornea transplant.

Subscribe now >> Heart and Lung Transplants In the three decades since the performance of the first human heart transplant in December 1967, the procedure has changed from an experimental operation to an established treatment for advanced heart disease. Approximately 2,300 heart transplants are performed each year in the United States. In 1981, combined heart and lung transplants began to be used to treat patients with conditions that severely damage both these organs. As of 1995, about 500 people in the United States and 2,000 worldwide have received heart-lung transplants. There have been two main barriers to increasing the number of successful operations. In 1983, the first barrier to successful transplantations was overcome. That barrier was the rejection of the donor organ by the patient. The drug cyclosporine was introduced to suppress rejection of a donor heart or heart-lung by the patient's body. Cyclosporine and other medications to control rejection have significantly improved the survival of transplant patients. About 80 percent of heart transplant patients survive 1 year or more. About 60 percent of heart-lung transplants live at least 1 year after surgery. Research is under way to develop even better ways to control transplant rejection and improve survival.

from The Civil Abolitionist Spring 1998 PO Box 26 Swain NY 14884 NEW PIG VIRUS CAPABLE OF INFECTING HUMANS earlier posting on xenotransplants home xenotransplant index Australian scientists sounded a new warning against cross species transplants after two piggery workers were found to be infected with a previously unknown virus, which had caused stillbirths and brain and spinal cord defects in pigs. The humans recovered and the disease, which was raced to a colony of fruit bats, appears to have been contained, but there is no guarantee that it won't reoccur. In March 1997, British researchers reported that pig retroviruses PERVS) had multiplied in human kidney cells in vitro. Because retroviruses are permanent once established, and can be transmitted through bodily fluids (like HIV, the retrovirus many scientists blame for triggering the diseases known as AIDS). Animal viruses are usually unable to penetrate barriers posed by the human skin, stomach acids, and immune response, but if they are planted inside and become a functioning part of the human body, it becomes less likely that the immune system, particularly one compromised by anti-rejection drugs, can eliminate them. In November, Dr. Robin Weiss of the Chester Beatty Laboratory in London announced finding a porcine endogenous retrovirus, harmless to pigs, but with the ability to infect human cells. This discovery reinforced the British decision to ban transplanting organs from pigs to people for the time being.
