The prevalence of adult spinal deformity has been increasing exponentially over time. Surgery has been credited with good radiological and clinical results. The incidence of complications is high. MIS techniques provide good results with fewer complications. This is a retrospective study of 25 patients with an adult spinal deformity treated by MIS surgery, with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Radiological...
“Minimally invasive” techniques have been recently been developed in order to achieve good clinical results with a low incidence of complications. The extralateral interbody fusion or direct transpsoas is a minimally invasive anterior arthrodesis. A total of 97 patients with 138 segments received surgery between May 2012 and May 2015. The follow-up was from 12 to 44 months. The mean age was 68 years...
Application of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has been proposed for solid organ transplantation based on their potent immuno-modulatory effects in vitro and in vivo. We investigated the potential of MSCs to improve acceptance of kidney transplants in an MHC-incompatible rat model including isogeneic kidney transplantation (RTx) as control. MSCs were administered i.v. or i.a. at time of transplantation...
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is proficient at establishing lifelong persistence within the host in part due to immune modulating genes that limit immune recognition. HCMV encodes at least five glycoproteins within its unique short (US) genomic region that interfere with MHC class I antigen presentation, thus hindering viral clearance by cytotoxic T lymphocytes...
