Trophic effects of adipose derived stem cells on Langerhans islets viability — Review
Langerhans islets transplantation has been proposed to provide an endogenous source of insulin in Type I diabetes. However, the hypoxic stress and the receptor's immune reaction suffered by the implants cause them to fail in sustaining the insulin production along the time. Experimental studies have shown that adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can secrete cytokines that activate free radical scavengers, antioxidants and chaperone heat/shock proteins leading to reduction of apoptosis in damaged tissues.

Trophic effects of adipose derived stem cells on Langerhans islets viability –Review
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 347 million people worldwide have diabetes and, in 2030, this complex disease will be the 7th leading cause of death (1). 10% of the diabetic population have type 1 diabetes and, despite the administration of exogenous insulin, the mortality in this group occurs in younger ages range when compared to non diabetic subjects(2). In Brazil, there are almost 1, 2 million of type 1 diabetic patients whose survival and overall health could be improved by new therapies providing insulin sufficiency and glycemic control (3).

Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Kidney Transplantation: a Review
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein expressed by kidney tubular cells in response to ischemia, but may also be an early indicator of immunological rejection, calcineurin inhibitor toxicity, obstructive nephropathy, subclinical tubulitis or infection. Although there is currently no evidence to support the routine serial measurement of blood or urinary NGAL to detect subclinical acute tubular injury, NGAL has the potential to provide useful information to those that care for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).

Systematic review with meta-analysis: HIF-1α attenuates liver ischemia–reperfusion injury
Ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) induces inevitable complications in liver transplantation. Many studies have demonstrated that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) plays an important role in IRI. However, the mechanism of its pleiotropic effect remains unclear. This systematic review provides a comprehensive evaluation of all available evidence concerning the function of HIF-1α in transplant-induced hepatic IRI. Data were obtained through a search of Medline (PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Library literature review on the effect of HIF-1α in IRI (from inception to 12/2014).

Hypomagnesaemia in kidney transplantation
In the era of calcineurin inhibitors, hypomagnesaemia is a very common finding in kidney transplant recipients. Especially the first weeks after transplantation it is the rule rather than the exception. Hypomagnesaemia or low magnesium intake have been associated with a higher mortality or more cardiovascular events in the general population, but this association has never been explored in kidney transplant recipients, despite their increased cardiovascular risk. Kidney transplant recipients with pre- or post-transplant hypomagnesaemia seem to have an aberrant glucose metabolism and develop diabetes mellitus more frequentl...

Rates of renal transplantations in the elderly—data from Europe and the US
The demography in most part of the world is changing with an increasing proportion of elderly persons. This is expected to reflect demography of patients accepted for renal replacement therapy both in the form of dialysis and transplantation. Based on this, the intention of the present review is to collect and describe available data on rates of transplantation with focus on the elderly patients in both Europe and the US. Data were collected from available sources including activity reports from national and supranational registries on uremia, organ procurement, waiting lists, and transplantations.
