TL;DR: Basiximab in combination with cyclosporine, steroids, and azathioprine triple therapy was highly effective in reducing the incidence of acute renal allograft rejection without increasing the incidenceof infections and other side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipopolysaccharide Pretreatment Protects from Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury: Possible Connection to an Interleukin-6-Dependent Pathway
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in the kidney were investigated in male C57/B1 mice with different doses of LPS or phosphate-buffered saline on days −4 and −3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two corticosteroid-free regimens-tacrolimus monotherapy after basiliximab administration and tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil-in comparison with a standard triple regimen in renal transplantation: results of the Atlas study.

Krämer +20 more
TL;DR: Both corticosteroid-free tacrolimus-based regimens with a standard triple therapy were equally effective in preventing acute rejection, with the Bas/Tac therapy offering some safety benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on growth factor mRNA in chronic renal allograft rejection in the rat
TL;DR: Treatment with enalapril attenuated the development of proteinuria, ameliorated morphological damage, decreased leukocyte infiltration, and prevented a rise in renal mRNA levels of growth factors and cytokines in kidney grafts in a rat model of chronic renal allograft rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Male gender predisposes to development of endotoxic shock in the rat.
György Losonczy,György Losonczy,Tünde Kriston,Attila Szabo,Veronika Müller,J. Harvey,Péter Hamar,Uwe Heemann,Christine Baylis +8 more
TL;DR: Male gender may sensitize to LPS-induced shock and sensitivity of males to endotoxin is associated with an attenuated, not exaggerated total rate of NO synthesis.
