OBJECTIVE To analyze the composite tissue vascularized allotransplantation post operative complications and to identify factors associated with agents toxicity. METHODS The study was done across a strong histocompatibility barrier using 39 Brown-Norway rats as donors and 78 Fischer 344 as hindlimb allotransplantation recipients treated with cyclosporine and RS-61443. RESULTS 1 (1/78: 1.28%) was eliminated owing to thrombosis; 2 (2/78: 2.56%) owing to enteritis; 1 (1/78: 1.28%) owing to autophagia and 8 (8/78: 10.42%) died owing to undiscovered cause. CONCLUSIONS Among 78 (78/78: 100%) rat limb vascularized allotransplantations, 12 (15.5%) rats died or were eliminated because of acute postoperative complications that were not related to rejection, to immunosuppressive toxicity or to opportunistic infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D008866 Microsurgery The performance of surgical procedures with the aid of a microscope.
D009173 Mycophenolic Acid Compound derived from Penicillium stoloniferum and related species. It blocks de novo biosynthesis of purine nucleotides by inhibition of the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMP DEHYDROGENASE). Mycophenolic acid exerts selective effects on the immune system in which it prevents the proliferation of T-CELLS, LYMPHOCYTES, and the formation of antibodies from B-CELLS. It may also inhibit recruitment of LEUKOCYTES to sites of INFLAMMATION.
