Prediction of graft survival of living-donor kidney transplantation: nomograms or artificial neural networks?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Circulation of leukocytes via blood, tissue and lymph is integral to adaptive immunity. Afferent lymphatics form CCL21 gradients to guide dendritic cells and T cells to lymphatics and then to draining lymph nodes (dLN). Vascular endothelial growth factor C and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (V...
