| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is better than conventional cold storage in kidney transplantation. Large animal models suggest that HMP may be beneficial for the liver as well, but questions remain about perfusion mode (dual portal/arterial flow versus single flow) and hepatic vascular injury including endothelial dysfunction or potential microbial infectivity during HMP. METHODS: Sixteen human livers rejected for transplantation by all UK centers with appropriate consent for research were randomized into 4 groups (n = 4 each): group 1: ≥7 hours cold storage (CS) and 1 hour HMP through hepatic artery (HA) alone; group 2: ≥7 hours CS and 1 hour HMP through HA and portal vein (PV); group 3: ≥7 hours CS and 1 hour HMP through PV alone; and group 4: ≥8 hours CS. A pressure-controlled prototype based on Lifeport Kidney Transporter (Organ Recovery Systems) was used. Livers were perfused at 4-8°C under sterile conditions with Belzer MPS KPS-1. Perfusion parameters (pressure, flow, resistance, and temperature) were recorded every 15 minutes. Perfusate for microbial culture and sensitivity were taken before and after HMP. Electron microscopy of 3 liver biopsy samples taken before perfusion, were compared with 3 samples from adjacent areas after perfusion. RESULTS: Preset HA pressure of 30 mm Hg and PV pressure of 7 mm Hg were maintained throughout the perfusion. HA and PV flow ranged, respectively, from 11 to 107 mL/min (mean 59.5) and 39 to 199 mL/min (mean 96.2), with no differences between groups. The same was true for resistance: HA and PV resistance ranged, respectively from 0.17 to 1.99 mm Hg/mL/min (mean 0.71) and 0.07 to 0.17 mm Hg/mL/min (mean 0.08). Temperature was maintained at 4-8°C with the use of an external heat exchanger. No difference in sinusoidal endothelial ultrastructure was seen before and after machine perfusion or between any of the groups. Sterility was maintained throughout the HMP. CONCLUSIONS: HMP of human livers did not produce evidence of sinusoidal endothelial injury or breach of sterility. Single or dual perfusion modes did not affect vascular resistance or flow. The results suggest that further studies of HMP with human livers are warranted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
