Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a small non-enveloped single stranded RNA virus whose genotypes 3 and 4 have been associated with zoonotic transmission in industrialized countries. HEV infection is considered the main cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. In some cases, transfusion of blood components or organ transplantation have been reported as the source of infection. We have conducted a literature review on the risk of transmission through cell and tissue allografts. Although no case was found, measures to control this risk should be taken when donor profile (based upon geographical and behavioural data) recommended it. Issues to be considered in donor screening and tissue processing to assess and to reduce the risk of HEV transmission are approached.

Serological testing on the ADVIA Centaur system for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus in specimens from deceased and living individuals demonstrates equivalent results ƚ. Transpl Infect Dis 2022; 24:e13802. [PMID: 35176197 PMCID: PMC9286380 DOI: 10.1111/tid.13802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Introduction To determine the suitability of human tissues and cells for transplantation, guidelines mandate infectious disease testing of serum or plasma obtained from deceased donors, which are often collected after cessation of the heartbeat. Tests used for this purpose are required to show equivalent performance when compared to pre‐mortem specimens. This study evaluated whether serology assays for HIV Ag/Ab Combo, hepatitis B virus (HBc Total; HBsAgII), and HCV on the ADVIA Centaur system, were fit for testing post‐mortem sera. Performance evaluation studies included precision, specificity, and sensitivity. Methods Blood specimens were collected within 24 h after death from 82 deceased and 83 healthy living individuals. Studies followed standard guidelines. The 20‐day precision study was performed on five levels of post‐mortem specimens (non‐spiked and spiked). The specificity study compared 81–83 pre‐mortem and 74–82 post‐mortem specimens. The sensitivity study compared 50 pre‐mortem and 50 post‐mortem specimens spiked with positive sera for each analyte at two levels to achieve a low (near cutoff) positive result and a second higher positive result. Results Precision, specificity, and sensitivity study results met acceptance criteria for all assays and lots; post‐mortem and pre‐mortem results were equivalent. Conclusion Based on this study, the ADVIA Centaur CHIV, HBcT, HBsAgII, and HCV assays are acceptable for use in routine testing of deceased donor sera collected after cessation of the heartbeat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The European consortium project TRANSPOSE (TRANSfusion and transplantation: PrOtection and SElection of donors) aimed to assess and evaluate the risks to donors of Substances of Human Origin (SoHO), and to identify gaps between current donor vigilance systems and perceived risks. MATERIALS AND METHODS National and local data from participating organizations on serious and non-serious adverse reactions in donors were collected from 2014 to 2017. Following this, a survey was performed among participants to identify risks not included in the data sets. Finally, participants rated the risks according to severity, level of evidence and prevalence. RESULTS Significant discrepancies between anticipated donor risks and the collected data were found. Furthermore, many participants reported that national data on adverse reactions in donors of stem cells, gametes, embryos and tissues were not routinely collected and/or available. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that there is a need to further develop and standardize donor vigilance in Europe and to include long-term risks to donors, which are currently underreported, ensuring donor health and securing the future supply of SoHO.

Abstract
Assessment of donor suitability and criteria development for tissue donation evaluation which appropriately addresses the risk factors for disease transmission, especially high risk for Hepatitis B or C, HIV or other transmissible diseases as defined by the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, is a continuing concern for tissue banks. The relationship of drug use, especially IV drugs, has been determined to be associated with an increased possibility of reactive serology (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USCDC) in Division of Viral Hepatitis, National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. Hepatitis C questions and answers for health professionals. https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hcv/hcvfaq.htm; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USCDC) in infectious diseases, opioids and injection drug use, 2018. https://www.cdc.gov/pwid/opioid-use.html; HIH National Institute on Drug Abuse in Health Consequences of Drug Misuse, 2017. https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/health-consequences-drug-misuse). Therefore, prior drug use determined by medical social history screening frequently results in deferral of a potential donor even when the route of drug administration has not been determined to be intravenous. Because of the association of drug use in numerous cases, which come under Medical Examiner jurisdiction, a possible rule out of a number of otherwise suitable medical examiner cases could occur. This retrospective review of medical examiner cases, tissue bank referrals and tissue donors in a 3-year period examines the relationship, if any, between reactive serology and positive toxicology results. These results would appear to indicate assessment of donor medical social history screening is effective in reducing recovery of high-risk donors.

Evaluation of occult hepatitis B infection in tissue donors: a multicenter analysis in Spain. Cell Tissue Bank 2019; 20:513-526.

Abstract
Traditionally, when antibody to the Hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) and antibody to the Hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) are positive, the donor is considered suitable. However, the literature contains cases with this profile and circulating hepatitis B virus DNA. The aim of the study is to analyze the incidence of occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI). Retrospective data were evaluated for deceased tissue donors in ten Tissue Establishments (Spain) during 2017. The data included demographic data and the serological markers for hepatitis B that each tissue establishment performed. A total number of 1933 tissue donors were evaluated. A total of 180 donors were excluded: 6 (0.3%) with Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs positive), and 174 in which DNA testing was not performed. Anti-HBc was positive in 175 donors (10%), in which anti-HBs was negative in 30 (17.1%) and positive in 145 (82.9%). In total, 27 donors with DNA positive (1.5%) were found, of which 3 of 117 donors (1.7%) showed anti-HBc negative and anti-HBs positive (> 10 IU/ml), 4 of 30 donors (13.3%) showed anti-HBc positive and anti-HBs negative and 20 of 145 donors (13.8%) showed both anti-HBc and anti-HBs positive. The highest probability of finding DNA occurs when anti-HBc is positive, regardless of the presence of anti-HBs. In our study, the probability of OBI was 1.5%. The classic concept that when anti-HBc and anti-HBs are positive (even with a titer of over 100 IU/ml) the donor can be accepted should, therefore, be reconsidered, and DNA testing should be mandatory.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to report the results of the use of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in cornea donors at the Central Eye Bank of Iran. METHODS Between 2014 and 2016, all cornea donors that had negative screening serologic results for hepatitis B (HB) surface antigen, HB surface antibody (Ab), hepatitis C virus Ab, human immune deficiency virus Ab, human T-cell leukemia virus Ab, and syphilis, and positive serology for HB core Ab were subjected to real-time PCR with a detection limit of 400 IU/mL to identify HBV DNA. Positive results for HBV DNA were considered occult HBV infections in these donors. RESULTS Over the 3-year period, 122 out of 10448 cornea donors had negative screening serologic tests outside of HB core Ab. Of which, 90 cases were subjected to real-time PCR. Occult HBV was detected in 11 cases (12.2%), resulting in the rejection of the corresponding corneas. The remaining 79 cases (87.8%) had negative results for HBV DNA and the corresponding corneas were used for transplantation. CONCLUSION Implementation of PCR for the detection of occult HBV in cornea donors is necessary to not only increase the security level of cornea donation but also minimize the rejection rate of donors that have isolated HB core Ab reactivity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of dormant corneal ulcers secondary to corneal surgery and unresponsive to conventional treatment. SETTING VISSUM, Ophthalmology Institute of Alicante, Alicante, Spain. DESIGN Prospective nonrandomized, observational consecutive study. METHODS A total of 44 eyes of 28 patients with dormant corneal ulcers secondary to corneal surgery were included in a prospective study and treated with autologous platelet-rich plasma during 6 weeks. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the effect of the treatment. RESULTS In all, 28 patients (65.1%) improved their visual acuity at least one line in Snellen chart, 26 (59.09%) had a decrease in the size of the ulcer or even a total closure, and 40 (90.9%) experienced an improvement in their symptoms. The results are also provided for the four groups of patients (keratoplasty, refractive surgery, cross-linking, and chronic postsurgical corneal edema). CONCLUSION Platelet-rich plasma eye drops shows to be a good option for the treatment of dormant corneal ulcers secondary to corneal surgery.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can invade the male germline, and sperm-introduced HBV genes could be transcribed in embryo. This study was to explore whether viral gene transcription is regulated by host genes. Embryos were produced by in vitro fertilization of hamster oocytes with human sperm containing the HBV genome. Total RNA extracted from test and control embryos were subjected to SMART-PCR, SSH, microarray hybridization, sequencing and BLAST analysis. Twenty-nine sequences showing significant identity to five human gene families were identified, with CSH2, EIF4G2, PCBD2, PSG4 and TTN selected to represent target genes. Using qRT-PCR, when CSH2 and PCBD2 (or EIF4G2, PSG4 and TTN) were silenced by RNAi, transcriptional levels of HBV s and x genes decreased (or increased). This is the first report that host genes participate in regulation of sperm-introduced HBV gene transcription in embryo, which is critical to prevent negative impact of HBV infection on early embryonic development.

Detection of hepatitis B virus in bone allografts from donors with occult hepatitis B infection. Cell Tissue Bank 2017; 18:335-341.

Abstract
The implementation of nucleic acid testing in donor screening has improved the safety of tissue allografts. Although infectious disease transmission can be considered a rare event, the detection of occult hepatitis B infection remains challenging. The studies concerning this risk are mainly based on testing blood specimens. This work shows the correlation between results of samples obtained from donor blood and the corresponding tissue washing solution. Hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid was detected both in bone allografts from donors with serological profiles associated to active hepatitis B infection and occult hepatitis B infection. These results suggest that hepatitis B virus seems to concentrate in bone marrow even when a low viral load is present in peripheral blood. Even detection at molecular level is not enough to avoid the risk of hepatitis B virus transmission and a multiparametrical evaluation is required in tissue donor screening. The role of clinicians in recognition and reporting of allograft-associated infections is a major concern for the acquisition of experience to be applied in risk control of disease transmission.

Abstract
Bone is the most transplanted tissue human with 1 million procedures every year in Europe. Surgical interventions for bone repair are required for varied reasons such as trauma resulting non-union fractures, or diseases including osteoporosis or osteonecrosis. Autologous bone grafting is the gold standard in bone regeneration but it requires a second surgery with associated pain and complications, and is also limited by harvested bone quantity. Synthetic bone substitutes lack the osteoinductive properties to heal large bone defects. Cell therapies based on bone marrow or ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) in association with synthetic calcium phosphate (CaP) bone substitutes may be alternatives to autologous bone grafting. This manuscript reviews the different conventional biological and synthetic bone grafting procedures as well as the more recently introduced cell therapy approaches used in orthopaedic surgery for bone regeneration. Some clinical studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy of these approaches but regeneration of large bone defects remain challenging due to the absence of rapid and adequate vascularisation. Future directions in the field of bone regeneration are presented, such as testing alternative cell sources or in situ fabrication of vascularized bone grafts in patients.

Abstract
Tissue transplantation is a life-enhancing therapeutic modality for damaged or non-functioning tissues. In most cases, there is no alternative other than human tissue as replacement, and taking into account the ever-increasing demand for tissue grafts, it makes sense to set up an establishment in charge of human tissue procurement to meet local needs. A quality assurance system, clearly defined standards, and regular audits complement the infrastructure which make this activity feasible. The process of tissue procurement consists of donor identification, consent, tissue recovery, donor screening and testing, tissue processing, preservation, packaging, labeling, terminal sterilization, storage and distribution. The transplantation of homograft heart valves remains controversial, due to the availability of prosthetic and bioprosthetic alternatives. The limited durability of homografts has not yet outweighed the advantages which this graft offers. Adherence to regulations and regularly revised guidelines improve long-term efficacy and minimizes complications or malfunction. Furthermore, the lower price of homograft heart valves and the removal of the need for a lifetime of anticoagulation therapy are noteworthy advantages of this replacement. In our practice, the proportion of homograft heart valves meeting release criteria and successfully implanted grafts were 83% and 95%, respectively.
