VI PhD, Associate Professor, Operative Technique and Experimental Surgery Division, Department of Surgery, UNIFESP, São Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT Purpose: To morphologically evaluate the estrogenic effect on the uterus and vagina of rats submitted to ovarian autografts. Methods: Twenty Wistar EPM-1 adult rats were bilaterally ovariectomized, followed by ovarian transplants in retroperitoneal regions. The animals were divided in four groups of five animals, according to the day of euthanasia: G4, G7, G14 and G21, corresponding to the 4th, 7th, 14th and 21st day after surgery, respectively. Vaginal smears were collected from the first day of surgery until euthanasia day. After that, the vagina and uterus were removed, fixed in 10% formaldehyde and submitted to histological analysis and stained with hematoxiline and eosine. Results: All animals showed estrous cycle changes during the experiment. In 4th day, the uterus showed low action of estrogen with small number of mitosis and eosinophils as well as poor development. -

The complexities of XTP encompass immunology, immunosuppression, physiology, technology (genetic engineering and cloning), microbiology, and animal/human relations. As a result of these controversies, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australia, formed the Xenotransplantation Working Party (XWP) in 2001. The XWP was designed to advise the NHMRC on XTP, if and how it should proceed in Australia, and to provide draft regulatory guidelines. During the period -

Several factors influence the success rate of the autotransplant, such as the stage of root development, the morphology of the tooth, the surgical procedure selected, the extraoral time, the shape of the recipient socket, the vascularity of the recipient bed, and the vitality of the cells of the periodontal ligament. The aim of this scoping review was to provide the most up-to-date information and data on the clinical principles of the third-molar autograft and thus provide clinical considerations for its success.

A Nationwide Analysis of Kidney Autotransplantation
A Nationwide Analysis of Kidney Autotransplantation ZHOBIN MOGHADAMYEGHANEH, M.D., MARK H. HANNA, M.D., REZA FAZLALIZADEH, M.D., YOSHITSUGU OBI, M.D., PH.D., CLARENCE E. FOSTER, M.D., MICHAEL J. STAMOS, M.D., HIROHITO ICHII, M.D., PH.D. From the Department of Surgery, University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine, Orange, California There are limited data regarding outcomes of patients underwent kidney autotransplantation. This study aims to investigate outcomes of such patients. The nationwide inpatient sample database was used to identify patients underwent kidney autotransplantation during 2002 to 2012. Multivariate analyses using logistic regression were performed to investigate morbidity predictors. A total of 817 patients underwent kidney autotransplantation from 2002 to 2012. The most common indication of surgery was renal artery pathology (22.7%) followed by ureter pathology (17%). Overall, 97.7 per cent of operations were performed in urban teaching hospitals. The number of procedures from 2008 to 2012 were significantly higher compared with the number of them from 2002 to 2007 (473 vs 345, P < 0.01). The overall mortality and morbidity of patients were 1.3 and 46.2 per cent, respectively. The most common postoperative complications were transplanted kidney failure (10.7%) followed by hemorrhagic complications (9.7%). Obesity [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 9.62, P < 0.01], fluid and electrolyte disorders (AOR: 3.67, P < 0.01), and preoperative chronic kidney disease (AOR: 1.80, P 5 0.03) were predictors of morbidity in patients. In conclusion, Kidney autotransplantation is associated with low mortality but a high morbidity rate. The most common indications of kidney autotransplantation are renal artery and ureter pathologies, respectively. -
Outpatient Immunosuppressive Drugs Under Medicare
Outpatient Immunosuppressive Drugs Under Medicare July 1991 OTA-H-452 NTIS order #PB92-117720 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Outpatient Immunosuppressive Drugs Under Medicare, OTA-H-452 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, Septem- ber 1991). For sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop: SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-9328” ISBN 0-16 -035315-7 Foreword Of all the astonishing achievements of modern medicine, the ability to successfully transplant a living organ from one human being to another is perhaps one of the most awesome. Immunosuppressive drugs are one of the spectrum of technological advances that have made organ transplants an everyday phenomenon. At the same time, however, transplant recipients’ needs for these drugs have presented Medicare with a continuing policy dilemma, because Medicare does not usually pay for outpatient prescription drugs. In 1984, the year after cyclosporine made its debut onto the health care market, OTA reported to Congress on the likely benefits of the drug for Medicare kidney transplant recipients. The present report, requested by the Senate Committee on Finance in the wake of the repeal of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act, examines Medicare’s current immunosuppressive drug coverage dilemma and the policy tradeoffs it entails for the 1990s. OTA reports would not be possible without the assistance and input of a wide variety of individuals from both the public and the private sectors. OTA staff and contractors gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the many people who provided data, clarified facts, presented views, and reviewed the drafts of this report. -
Xenotransplantation of Ovarian Tissue Into Male
XENOTRANSPLANTATION OF OVARIAN TISSUE INTO MALE IMMUNODEFICIENT MICE by HUGO JOSE HERNANDEZ FONSECA (Under the direction of BENJAMÍN G. BRACKETT) ABSTRACT A male immunodeficient mouse model for transplantation of ovarian tissue was investigated. Bovine and human ovarian tissues were surgically placed either under the kidney capsule or in the subcutaneous spaces of male non obese diabetic (NOD) severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Time intervals required for development of growing follicles were determined for neonatal and adult bovine ovarian tissue grafts. This interval was much shorter (P <0.01) in adult tissue than in one-week-old calf tissue, i.e. 55 vs 124 days. The increase in the proportion of growing follicles was coincidental with a decrease in the proportion of resting follicles. This increment in the growing follicle populations took place abruptly and was significant by 55 days and by 124 days after transplantation in the adult cow and calf ovarian grafts, respectively. Recovery of oocytes from bovine ovarian grafts was successful. Several immature oocytes were recovered and evidence of maturation in one oocyte was obtained after 24 hours of in vitro maturation. Treatment of host mice with an FSH:LH preparation increased follicular development but did not enhance oocyte recovery rates. Human ovarian tissue grafted under the kidney capsule of intact male NOD SCID mice showed a greater proportion of growing follicles than similar grafts transplanted to the kidney of castrated hosts and to the subcutaneous space of intact hosts. However, no differences in follicular growth and development were detected between the intact/ kidney capsule and the castrated / subcutaneous groups.
