Extreme Hyperoxia During Pre-Implant Normothermic Liver Perfusion (PINLiP) Is Associated with Post-Reperfusion Syndrome and Vasoplegia.
Cambridge Transplant Unit, Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
In response to the increasing number of DCD and marginal DBD donor livers, we started a programme of pre-implant normothermic perfusion (PINLiP) to enable functional…2016 American Transplant Congress
Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) Leads to Increased Bile Production and Secretion of Hydrophilic Bile Acids After Liver Transplantation When Compared to Cold Storage (CS).
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Background: Bile production during machine perfusion and after transplantation has been used as marker of liver allograft viability and function. This study aimed to assess…2016 American Transplant Congress
Alterations in Central Carbohydrate Metabolism in Porcine Liver Allografts Preserved with a Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) System.
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Introduction: Combination of reduced temperature and oxygenation via machine perfusion during liver allograft preservation has the potential to induce profound effects on hepatocyte bioenergetics and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Machine Perfusion (MP) at 21[deg]C Simulates Hibernation Metabolic Pathways in a Non-Hibernator Mammal.
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Background: Hibernation is a complex and multi stage process that leads to unique metabolic changes over an extended period of time. Regulatory genes and transcription…2016 American Transplant Congress
Ex-Vivo Normothermic Perfusion (EVNP) Attenuation of Kidney Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI): A Proposed Mechanism.
Introduction: EVNP has the potential to repair deceased donor renal IRI. We hypothesize that EVNP may attenuate renal IRI via alteration of lipid metabolism.Methods: Eight…2016 American Transplant Congress
Persufflation Improves Viability and Function of Porcine Kidneys Relative to Static Cold Storage.
The use of marginal organs demands optimization of organ storage and quality assessments prior to transplantation. Organs from donors after cardiac death (DCD) are exposed…2016 American Transplant Congress
Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP) with a Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carrier (HBOC) Solution Reprograms Dynamic Inflammation Networks When Compared to Cold Storage (CS) in a Porcine Liver Allograft Model.
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Introduction: Inflammatory markers have been mostly studied by standard statistical analysis focused on single component variations. This study aimed to compare SNMP with CS regarding…2016 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Perfusion of Livers Donated After Circulatory Death: A New Clinically Relevant Experimental Model.
Aim. Transplantation using livers donation after circulatory death (DCD) is associated with worse outcomes compared to using donation after brain death (DBD). Considerable research resources…2016 American Transplant Congress
Signs of a Dying Organ: Beyond Resistance in Subnormothermic Kidney Perfusion.
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Purpose: In hypothermic machine preservation of the kidney, resistance is often used to assess organ quality. Since no prognostic standard yet exists for subnormothermic ex-vivo…2016 American Transplant Congress
Amino Acid (AA) Metabolism During Liver Allograft Preservation Comparing Subnormothermic Machine Perfusion (MP) Against Cold Storage (CS).
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Introduction: Liver is the major site for nitrogen metabolism. Most hepatic transcriptional activity is related to protein-specific synthesis. Liver preservation has a direct impact in…
