Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a leading cause of early morbidity and mortality following heart transplantation (HT). We sought to determine the association between pretransplant human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sensitization, as measured using the calculated panel reactive antibody (cPRA) value, and the risk of PGD. METHODS Consecutive adult HT recipients (n = 596) from 1/2015 to 12/2019 at 2 US centers were included. Severity of PGD was based on the 2014 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation consensus statement. For each recipient, unacceptable HLA antigens were obtained and locus-specific cPRA (cPRA-LS) and pre-HT donor-specific antibodies (DSA) were assessed. RESULTS Univariable logistic modeling showed that peak cPRA-LS for all loci and HLA-A was associated with increased severity of PGD as an ordinal variable (all loci: OR 1.78, 95% CI: 1.01-1.14, p = 0.025, HLA-A: OR 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03-1.26, p = 0.011). Multivariable analysis showed peak cPRA-LS for HLA-A, recipient beta-blocker use, total ischemic time, donor age, prior cardiac surgery, and United Network for Organ Sharing status 1 or 2 were associated with increased severity of PGD. The presence of DSA to HLA-B was associated with trend toward increased risk of mild-to-moderate PGD (OR 2.56, 95% CI: 0.99-6.63, p = 0.053), but DSA to other HLA loci was not associated with PGD. CONCLUSIONS Sensitization for all HLA loci, and specifically HLA-A, is associated with an increased severity of PGD. These factors should be included in pre-HT risk stratification to minimize the risk of PGD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a major cause of early mortality following heart transplant (HT). Donor risk factors for the development of PGD are incompletely characterized. Donor management goals (DMG) are predefined critical care endpoints used to optimize donors. We evaluated the relationship between DMGs as well as non-DMG parameters, and the development of PGD after HT. METHODS A cohort of HT recipients from 2 transplant centers between 1/1/12 and 12/31/19 was linked to their respective donors in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) DMG Registry (n = 1,079). PGD was defined according to modified ISHLT criteria. Variables were subject to univariate and multivariable multinomial modeling with development of mild/moderate or severe PGD as the outcome variable. A second multicenter cohort of 4,010 donors from the DMG Registry was used for validation. RESULTS Mild/moderate and severe PGD occurred in 15% and 6% of the cohort. Multivariable modeling revealed 6 variables independently associated with mild/moderate and 6 associated with severe PGD, respectively. Recipient use of amiodarone plus beta-blocker, recipient mechanical circulatory support, donor age, donor fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), and donor creatinine increased risk whereas predicted heart mass ratio decreased risk of severe PGD. We found that donor age and FiO2 ≥ 40% were associated with an increased risk of death within 90 days post-transplant in a multicenter cohort. CONCLUSIONS Donor hyperoxia at heart recovery is a novel risk factor for severe primary graft dysfunction and early recipient death. These results suggest that excessive oxygen supplementation should be minimized during donor management.

Abstract
Despite the overall success of heart transplantation as a definitive treatment for endstage heart failure, cardiac allograft rejection remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Endomyocardial biopsy has been the standard of care for rejection monitoring, but is associated with several diagnostic limitations and serious procedural complications. The use of molecular diagnostics has emerged over the past decade as a tool to potentially circumvent some of these limitations. We present an update on novel molecular approaches to detecting transplant rejection, focusing on 4 categories: microarray technology, gene expression profiling, cell-free DNA and microRNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a major cause of early mortality following heart transplant (HT). The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) subdivides PGD into 3 grades of increasing severity. Most studies have assessed risk factors for PGD without distinguishing between PGD severity grade. We sought to identify recipient, donor and surgical risk factors specifically associated with mild/moderate or severe PGD. METHODS We identified 734 heart transplant recipients at our institution transplanted between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2018. PGD was defined according to modified ISHLT criteria. Recipient, donor and surgical variables were analyzed by multinomial logistic regression with mild/moderate or severe PGD as the response. Variables significant in single variable modeling were subject to multivariable analysis via penalized logistic regression. RESULTS PGD occurred in 24% of the cohort (n = 178) of whom 6% (n = 44) had severe PGD. One-year survival was reduced in recipients with severe PGD but not in those with mild or moderate PGD. Multivariable analysis identified 3 recipient factors: prior cardiac surgery, recipient treatment with ACEI/ARB/ARNI plus MRA, recipient treatment with amiodarone plus beta-blocker, and 3 surgical factors: longer ischemic time, more red blood cell transfusions, and more platelet transfusions, that were associated with severe PGD. We developed a clinical risk score, ABCE, which provided acceptable discrimination and calibration for severe PGD. CONCLUSIONS Risk factors for mild/moderate PGD were largely distinct from those for severe PGD, suggesting a differing pathophysiology involving several biological pathways. Further research into mechanisms underlying the development of PGD is urgently needed.

Abstract
The finding that the relationship of the in vitro and in vivo responses of different strains of mice is under genetic control indicates that at least two mechanisms must operate under in vivo conditions to control 19S antibody synthesis. One is involved in the termination of 19S antibody synthesis; the other has a regulatory role on the magnitude of the response. In light of these findings, various concepts based on other genetically controlled immune responses and on the limiting dilution technique should be reassessed. Furthermore, the suppressive in vivo mechanism may be an important type of control in the resistance or susceptibility to the establishment or maintainance of neoplasms.
