Introduction Improvement of long-term outcomes in kidney transplantation remains one of the most pressing challenges, yet drug development is stagnating. Human genetics offers an opportunity for much-needed target validation in transplantation. Conflicting data exists about the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) on kidney transplant survival, since TGF-beta1 has profibrotic and protective effects. We therefore the impact of a recently discovered functional TGBF1 polymorphism on long term kidney graft survival. Methods We performed an observational cohort study analyzing recipient and donor DNA in 1,271-kidney transplant pairs from the University Medical Center Groningen in The Netherlands and associated a low-producing TGBF1 polymorphism (rs1800472 C>T) with 5, 10, and 15-year death-censored kidney graft survival. Results Donor genotype frequencies of s1800472 in TGBF1 differed significantly between patients with and without graft loss (P=0.042). Additionally, the low-producing TGBF1 polymorphism in the donor was associated with an increased risk of graft loss following kidney transplantation (HR 2.13 for the T allele; 95%-CI 1.16-3.90; P=0.015). The incidence of graft loss within 15 years of follow-up was 16.4% in the CC-genotype group and 28.9% in the CT-genotype group. After adjustment for transplant-related covariates, the association between the TGBF1 polymorphism in the donor and graft loss remained significant. In contrast, there was no association between the TGBF1 polymorphism in the recipient and graft loss. Conclusion Kidney allografts possessing a low-producing TGBF1 polymorphism have a higher risk of late graft loss. Our study adds to a growing body of evidence that TGFbeta1 is beneficial, rather than harmful, for kidney transplant survival.

The Impact

Introduction. Despite the improvements in immunosuppressive therapy, the growing number of repeat kidney transplantations and associated risks of acute rejection make it relevant to assess the impact of early acute rejection on a long-term kidney graft survival.Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the rate, the clinical aspects of early acute rejection after repeat kidney transplantation and the outcomes of its treatment, to perform the assessment of the impact of rejection episodes on a long-term kidney graft survival.Material and methods. We carried out the retrospective analysis of kidney graft survival after 121 repeat kidney transplantations performed in N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine in the period from 2007 to 2018. Group I included 96 recipients after kidney transplantation without acute rejection in postoperative period. Group II consisted of 25 patients with early acute rejection after kidney transplantation. We performed the assessment of the impact of early acute rejection on the kidney graft survival in comparison with recipients with uncomplicated postoperative period. Statistical processing was carried out by nonparametric methods. Survival was assessed using the Kaplan–Meier curves.Results. 1-year and 3-year kidney graft survival rates amounted to 90.3% (95%, confidence interval 85–95) and 85.4% (95%, CI 79–91), respectively, in recipients of Group I; and 72% (95%, CI 58–86) and 60% (95%, CI 46–76) in patients of Group II. Significant differences in 1-year and 3-year kidney graft survival between patients of Group I and II have been noticed (P=0.0022 and P=0.0065, respectively).Conclusions. Patients with early acute rejection after kidney transplantation had poorer kidney graft survival in comparison with patients without rejection episodes in postoperative period.

The Impact

The paper studies the impact of the transition to the inflation targeting regime on the magnitude of the pass-through effect of the exchange rate to prices. We analyze cross-country panel data on developed and developing countries. It is shown that the transition to this regime of monetary policy contributes to a significant reduction in both the short- and long-term pass-through effects. This decline is stronger in developing countries. We identify the main channels that ensure the influence of the monetary policy regime on the pass-through effect, and examine their performance. In addition, we analyze the data of time series for Russia. It was concluded that even there the transition to inflation targeting led to a decrease in the dependence of the level of inflation on fluctuations in the ruble exchange rate.

The Impact

The aim of this meta-analysis was to review the impact of a Paleolithic diet (PD) on selected health indicators (body composition, lipid profile, blood pressure, and carbohydrate metabolism) in the short and long term of nutrition intervention in healthy and unhealthy adults. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials of 21 full-text original human studies was conducted. Both the PD and a variety of healthy diets (control diets (CDs)) caused reduction in anthropometric parameters, both in the short and long term. For many indicators, such as weight (body mass (BM)), body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC), impact was stronger and especially found in the short term. All diets caused a decrease in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), albeit the impact of PD was stronger. Among long-term studies, only PD cased a decline in TC and LDL-C. Impact on blood pressure was observed mainly in the short term. PD caused a decrease in fasting plasma (fP) glucose, fP insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the short run, contrary to CD. In the long term, only PD caused a decrease in fP glucose and fP insulin. Lower positive impact of PD on performance was observed in the group without exercise. Positive effects of the PD on health and the lack of experiments among professional athletes require longer-term interventions to determine the effect of the Paleo diet on athletic performance.
