The donor liver is divided into two grafts for transplantation into two recipients. The procedure is more complex than a size reduction since biliary drainage, venous drainage, and portal and arterial supply to both portions of the liver must be preserved intact.

A graft is defined as a block of tissue that is completely separated from its native blood supply and transferred to a new site where it is reliant upon its recipient bed for nutrition and revascularization. If these processes are successful and the graft survives, it is said to have “taken.”

Grafting is a surgical procedure that involves the transplantation of skin. Grafting becomes necessary when the patient has burns that will not heal spontaneously. There are several types of skin grafts. The first is an autograft, which is created when the individual's own skin is taken from an unharmed part of the body (donor site) and placed over the burned area.

Urine cytology: Cytology smears from urine samples of case group were performed. Standard smears were prepared from fresh voided morning urine samples, fixed in alcohol, and stained with Papanicolaou stain. When positive for Decoy cells, the number of cells was counted (Figure 1).Renal graft biopsies: Renal graft biopsies were performed for all patients in the case group.Immunostaining with SV40 m-Ab: SV40 m-Ab from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (USA) was used.

Contaminated water included water containing sewage or manure, with a clear source of pollution or with defined pathogen colonization [16]. Delayed graft function (DGF) was defined as requiring dialysis within the first week after transplantation. Recovery time from DGF was the date of the last dialysis. Loose, watery stools three or more times a day were defined as diarrhea. Diagnoses of rejection were proven by biopsy. Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) was defined as new episodes of uncomplicated/complicated UTI more than twice within 6 months or more than three times within 1 year [17]. Graft failure referred to kidney function loss requiring renal replacement therapy or death with a functioning graft. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien–Dindo system [18].

ACL reconstruction technology had been developed for decades, especially in the past 30 years, with the emergence and popularization of arthroscopy, primary arthroscopy-assisted ACL reconstruction has become the premier treatment strategy, and is now considered to be the gold standard. So far, the grafts used in clinic can be divided into two major types: autografts and allografts. The autograft options for ACL reconstruction most commonly consist of the hamstring tendons (HS) or patellar tendon using the bone patella tendon-bone (BPTB) harvest technique. For reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament, no matter which type of graft is chosen, the graft maturation and integration within the bone tunnels are key factors affecting short-term and long-term clinical efficacy [7–9]. The ligament graft maturation and integration process go through various stages including inflammation, proliferation and reparation. Ligamentous remodeling, biological and mechanical factors are considered to be involved in the process. Among biological factors, cellular and hormonal factors are of great functional importance, the most important among them being various growth factors[10].
