NONINVASIVE AND QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT OF C4D DEPOSITION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ANTIBODY-MEDIATED CARDIAC ALLOGRAFT REJECTIONRESEARCH IN CONTEXT

Noninvasive and quantitative measurement of C4d deposition for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated cardiac allograft rejectionResearch in context

Background: C4d is a specific biomarker for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after cardiac transplantation.Although strongly recommended, routine C4d surveillance is hindered by the invasive nature of endomyocardial biopsy.Targeted ultrasound (US) has high sensitivity, and C4d is abundantly expressed within the graft of patients e

Characterization of Polyamide 66 membranes prepared by phase inversion using formic acid and hydrochloric acid such as solvents

The membranes properties prepared from water/formic acid (FA)/ polyamide 66 (PA66) and water/hydrochloric acid (HCl)/polyamide 66 (PA 66) systems has been studied.The different solvents interact distinctly with the polymer, affecting the membrane morphology.The asymmetric structure of the membranes showed a dense top layer and a porous sublayer.The
