Effects of Peer Education on Attitudes towards Organ Donation in Nursing Students
Nurses play an effective role in detection of donors and the families ’ decision-making processes related to organ donation. It is recommended that nursing students should be offered specific education about organ donation and transplantation. The aim of this study was to examine effects of peer education on attitudes to organ donation and the rate of getting a dono r card in undergraduate nursing students.

Endobronchial Topical Amphotericin B Instillation for Pulmonary Chromomycosis After Lung Transplantation: A Case Report
We report a very rare case of pulmonary chromomycosis caused by Scedosporium prolificans that developed after lung transplantation and was successfully treated with endobronchial topical amphotericin B instillation. The subject was a woman in her 50s with a history of bilateral lobar lung transplantation from living donors for idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. Eight years after the lung transplantation, chest radiography X-ray and computed tomography showed an abnormal shadow in the right lung. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Management of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in ABO-incompatible Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report
Biologic agents are a beneficial therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). However, there is a lack of evidence with regard to management of these agents for JIA patients who undergo kidney transplantation (KTx). A 36-year-old woman with JIA who was treated with tocilizumab targeting interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor underwent ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOi KTx). To prevent over-immunosuppression, tocilizumab was discontinued before ABOi KTx. Rituximab, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, everolimus, and methylprednisolone were used for immunosuppression.

Successful Treatment of Cytogenetically Normal Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Ten-Eleven Translocation 2 –Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 2 and Additional Sex Comb-like 1–Nucleophosmin Co-mutations by HLA Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Report and Literature Review
The presence of recurrent gene mutations is increasingly important in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and sheds new insights into the understanding of leukemogenesis, prognostic evaluation, and clinical therapeutic efficacy. Until now, ten-eleven translocation 2 (TET2) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) mutations were reported to be mutually exclusive in AML patients. Similarly, nucleophosmin (NPM1) and additional sex comb-like 1 (ASXL1) mutations were rarely coexisted in AML. A 47-year-old man diagnosed with high-risk AML presented simultaneous mutations of TET2 –IDH2 and NPM1–ASXL1 revealed by next-generation sequenc...

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Following Combined Rituximab-Based Immune-Chemotherapy for Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder in a Renal Transplant Recipient: A Case Report
Transplant recipients are at risk of developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), an opportunistic infection due to reactivation of JC virus. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) represent a common malignancy in this population, and antiCD20-therapy has become an established component of its treatment.

Ombitasvir –Paritaprevir–Ritonavir Therapy in a Kidney Transplant Recipient With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Infection: A Case Report on the Importance of Considering Drug–Drug Interactions and Monitoring Cyclosporine Levels
A 74-year-old Japanese man with a history of chronic hepatitis C and kidney transplant (KT) was administered pegylated-interferon plus ribavirin therapy. However, this therapy was ineffective. The patient was then hospitalized to receive ombitasvir (OBV) plus paritaprevir (PTV) plus ritonavir (r) antiviral combination therapy. He tested negative for the virus after 4 weeks, and completed 12 weeks of treatment. The patient ultimately achieved a sustained virological response after the 12 weeks of treatment.

Severe Renal Allograft Rejection Resulting from Lenalidomide Therapy for Multiple Myeloma: Case Report
Lenalidomide, a thalidomide analogue, is an immunomodulatory drug currently used as a chemotherapeutic agent in treating certain hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma. The antineoplastic effect of lenalidomide may be due to its ability to modulate different components of the immune system as well as its antiangiogenic, antiproliferative, and direct cytotoxic activity. Given its immunomodulatory effects, lenalidomide may potentially elicit unintended immune activity against allografts in solid organ transplant recipients. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)
