The functioning cardiopulmonary complex was explanted through a median sternotomy. The explanted complex was conditioned at 37–38 °C for 6 hours.Results. In the course of a series of experiments, it was shown that stable operation of the isolated heart-lung complex ex vivo for 6 hours was fundamentally possible provided that the parameters of the basic homeostasis constants are maintained. The technological solutions used made it possible to ensure safe hemodynamic and anatomical isolation of the working cardiopulmonary complex.Conclusion. The developed protocol for isolating a functioning cardiopulmonary complex allows to provide stable graft function for 6 hours under normothermic autoperfusion. Implementation of this concept in the development of transport systems would significantly facilitate their design and eliminate the use of expensive components. This would contribute to widespread introduction into clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":21400,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Transplantology and Artificial Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, reducing the SP of small-diameter vascular grafts (VGs) is a crucial task.The objective of this work was to develop a technology for the formation of polycaprolactone (PCL)-based small-diameter VGs with a bioactive coating with reduced SP.Materials and methods. Porous VGs with an inner diameter of 3 mm were fabricated by electrospinning from 5% PCL solution with addition of 5–30% gelatin (PCL/G) on an NANON-01A unit (MECC CO, Japan). Bioactive coating was applied by sequential incubation of VGs in solutions of bovine serum albumin, heparin and platelet lysate with fixation in a glutaric aldehyde solution. The surface structure and mechanical properties of the samples were investigated. Functional properties of the bioactive VGs were evaluated in relation to their interaction with cell cultures in vitro.Results. It was found that introduction of gelatin into the working solution reduces SP from 30.4 ± 1.5 mL/(cm2 ·min) to 2.8 ± 0.5 ml/(cm2 ·min). It was shown that at a PCL/gelatin ratio of 9 : 1, the outer and inner sides of the bioactive VGs samples are characterized by surface uniformity (no defects), mechanical properties close to blood vessels of the same diameter (Young’s modulus 6.7 ± 2.1 MPa, tensile strength 26.7 ± 4.9 N and elongation to break 423 ± 80%) and ability to support adhesion and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line, EA.hy926.Conclusion. Introduction of 10% gelatin content (by the polymer weight) into PCL solution reduces the SP of small-diameter VGs, leads to uniformity in their inner and outer surface, improvement in their mechanical properties without reducing their ability to support adhesion and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.","PeriodicalId":21400,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Transplantology and Artificial Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially felt in lung transplantation (LTx). LTx is the only effective method of treatment for patients with end-stage lung diseases. Normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been proposed to increase the number of donor organs suitable for transplant – EVLP has proven itself in a number of clinical trials. The ability to restore suboptimal donor lungs, previously considered unsuitable for transplantation, can improve organ functionality, and thus increase the number of lung transplants. However, widespread implementation of ex vivo perfusion is associated with high financial costs for consumables and perfusate.Objective: to test the developed solution on an ex vivo lung perfusion model, followed by orthotopic LT under experimental conditions.Materials and methods. The experiment included lung explantation stages, static hypothermic storage, EVLP and orthotopic left LTx. Perfusion was performed in a closed perfusion system. We used our own made human albumin-based perfusion solution as perfusate. Perfusion lasted for 2 hours, and evaluation was carried out every 30 minutes. In all cases, static hypothermic storage after perfusion lasted for 4 hours. The orthotopic single-lung transplantation procedure was performed using assisted circulation, supplemented by membrane oxygenation. Postoperative follow-up was 2 hours, after which the experimental animal was euthanized.Results. Respiratory index before lung explantation was 310 ± 40 mmHg. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio had positive growth dynamics throughout the entire EVLP procedure. Oxygenation index was 437 ± 25 mm Hg after 120 minutes of perfusion. Throughout the entire EVLP procedure, there was a steady decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Initial PVR was 300 ± 100 dyn×s/cm5; throughout the EVLP, PVR tended to fall, reaching 38,5 ± 12 dyn×s/cm5 at the end of perfusion.Conclusion. A safe and effective EVLP using our perfusate is possible. The developed orthotopic left lung transplantation protocol under circulatory support conditions, supplemented by membrane oxygenation, showed it is efficient and reliable.","PeriodicalId":21400,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Transplantology and Artificial Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84378330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an active search for drugs with antioxidant properties that are suitable for long-term maintenance therapy. Nicotinamide (NAM), an antioxidant, is used to treat a variety of diseases, usually in oral or injectable form. Given the peculiarities of the drug regimen (dose, prolonged administration), a new dosage form of NAM, a microemulsion-based transdermal patch (TP), containing 20 mg/10 cm2 of NAM, has been proposed.The objective of this work is to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of intramuscular and transdermal NAM administration in animal experiments for 24 hours.Materials and methods. We used laboratory samples of nicotinamide TP based on a microemulsion-based transdermal delivery emulsion (TDS) with different content of sodium docusate transfer activator. The pharmacokinetics of transdermal and intramuscular injections were studied in male Chinchilla rabbits weighing 3.5–4.0 kg. Plasma NAM levels of the experimental animals were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using a specially designed method on NUCLEODUR PFP columns (5 μm, 250 × 4.6 mm) using the mobile phase acetonitrile: deionized water. The samples were preliminarily purified by solid-phase extraction using Chromabond C18 Hydra cartridges.Results. When administered intramuscularly, the maximum blood NAM level was 13.3±1 μg/mL; when NAM transdermal forms were applied in the same dosage with different contents of the transfer activator, the levels did not differ significantly – 3.1 and 3.2 μg/mL. It was shown that in transdermal administration of NAM, concentration of the active substance remained at a constant level for ~6 hours. The bioavailability of NAM with transdermal administration was calculated relative to intramuscular administration: 1.43 for TP with 9.8% docusate sodium and 1.84 with 3.3% docusate sodium.Conclusion. NAM has a higher bioavailability when administered transdermally at 20 mg than when administered intramuscularly in the same dose. With transdermal administration, NAM concentration can be maintained at a constant level for a long time, without the jumps that are typical of intramuscular administration.","PeriodicalId":21400,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Transplantology and Artificial Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79270527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main factors is the risk of post-transplant complications, which affect allograft and recipient survival. Multifactorial organ damage in post-transplant complications and the search for diagnostic and prognostic indicators of the condition have contributed to the study and selection of a wide range of proteomic and molecular genetic biomarkers, which have shown to be effective in solid organ transplantation. The use of biomarkers opens up additional possibilities for assessing the risk of complications and their early diagnosis. This potentially reduces the frequency of invasive diagnostic procedures. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) regulates many biological processes, has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, participates in immune response, and plays a key role in extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis. ECM dysregulation leads to fibroblast hyperproliferation and increased collagen synthesis and, consequently, tissue fibrosis. The variability of the diagnostic and prognostic potential of TGF-β1 has been demonstrated in studies on recipients of various solid organs. The objective of this review is to analyze recent evidence on the role of TGF-β1 in the development of post-transplant complications and to assess its prospects as a marker of graft pathology or as a target for therapy.","PeriodicalId":21400,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Transplantology and Artificial Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81485723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study included clinical and experimental stages. The clinical stage included 63 patients out of 219 who underwent KT at Botkin Moscow City Clinical Hospital between July 2018 and August 2022. The inclusion criteria were kidneys from donation after brain death (DBD) donors with expanded criteria or kidneys from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors, and an SWI time greater than 45 minutes. The first group consisted of 24 recipients operated on using the new SWI elimination device. The second retrospective control group consisted of 39 patients where sterile ice bags were used at the implantation stage. The groups had no statistically significant differences in the main recipient and donor characteristics, as well as in perioperative parameters. Also, from November 2021 to April 2022, 23 kidney autotransplantation experiments in female Landrace pigs were performed. The animals were cared for in accordance with the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and other Scientific Purposes (Strasbourg, 18 March 1986). Efficiency of different SWI elimination techniques was compared on two experimental models: standard donor (group 1, n = 12) and asystolic donor (group 2, n = 11).Results. In the clinical trial group, mean graft temperature (tm) before reperfusion was statistically significantly lower in group 1 using the special SWI elimination device: 6.4 ± 1.7 °C (95% CI 3.2–8.5) versus 22.1 ± 2.3 °C (18.1–24.6), р < 0.001. The risk of delayed graft function (DGF) was 3.86 times higher (95% CI 1.11–13.43) with the standard SWI elimination technique. In the experimental group, in the subgroups using the new device (n = 12), graft tm before reperfusion was 5.1 ± 0.4 °C (95% CI 4.5–5.8), whereas in the ice bag subgroups (n = 11), tm was 29.3 ± 1.3 °C (95% CI 27.7–30.8), which was significantly higher (p < 0.001).
