In predominantly left-ventricular (LV) dysfunction, the use of isolated coronary artery bypass, especially amidst high pulmonary hypertension (PH), seems to be a more physiological method of short-term MSC.Objective: to present the results of a series of clinical cases of the use of percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) before HTx in potential recipients with predominantly LV dysfunction and concomitant high PH.Materials and methods. Three potential heart recipients with predominantly left-sided HF and high pre-transplant PH (pulmonary vascular resistance, PVR, 4.7–6.6 Wood units) who required MSC due to progression of hemodynamic disorders were included in the study. A standard venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannula (26 F) was used for percutaneous left atrial-femoral artery (LA–FA) bypass. The cannula was passed from the transfemoral route through the interatrial septum into the left atrial cavity. A paracorporeal centrifugal pump provided blood injection through a standard arterial ECMO cannula (15 F).Results. pLVAD unloaded the left ventricle effectively (PCWP reduced from 27–32 to 15–20 mmHg), reduced pre-transplant PH (mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) reduced from 45–53 to 28–33 mmHg) and improved systemic hemodynamics (cardiac index (CI) increased from 1.8–1.9 to 2.1–2.6 l/min/m2 and mean arterial pressure (mAP) from 56–59 to 70–75 mmHg). All these created the prerequisites for subsequent successful HTx. Against the background of pLVAD, transpulmonary pressure gradient (TPG) decreased from 15–25 to 13–15 mmHg, and PVR decreased from 4.7–6.6 to 2.7–3.4 Wood units. pLVAD flow rate was 2.9–3.8 L/min or 1.38–1.83 L/min/m2 at 4700–7100 rpm. pLVAD duration ranged from 4 (n = 1) to 7 (n = 2) days. All patients underwent successful HTx.Conclusion. pLVAD is a highly effective method of short-term MSC in potential recipients with predominantly LV dysfunction and concomitant high PH, leading to rapid regression of the dysfunction against the background of left ventricular unloading. This short-term MSC technique can be successfully realized using standard ECMO cannulas and centrifugal pumps of any modification, without requiring additional special equipment.","PeriodicalId":21400,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Transplantology and Artificial Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76930654","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 enrolled 148 children (61 boys) aged 2 to 60 months (median, 8) with end-stage liver disease resulting from biliary atresia (n = 86), biliary hypoplasia (n = 14), Byler disease (n = 15), Alagille syndrome (n = 12), Caroli syndrome (n = 5), and other liver diseases (n = 16, cryptogenic cirrhosis, fulminant and autoimmune hepatitis, Crigler–Najjar and Budd–Chiari syndromes, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, glycogenosis and hepatoblastoma). All the patients were transplanted with the left lateral segment of the liver from a living related donor. GH concentrations were measured by enzyme immunoassay before, at one month and at one year after transplantation.Results. Median plasma GH levels in children with liver disease were 4.3 [1.6–7.2] ng/mL, significantly higher than in healthy children of the same age at 1.2 [0.3–2.4] ng/mL, p = 0.001, while mean height and body weight were lower than in healthy controls. GH levels decreased significantly after transplantation. At one month and one year later, the levels did not differ from those of healthy children (p = 0.74, p = 0.67, respectively). One month after transplantation, GH concentrations were lower in 1-year survivors than in non-survivors (p = 0.02); the diagnostically significant threshold GH level was 1.8 ng/mL. Prior to LT, plasma GH levels did not differ between 1-year survivors and non-survivors. Children with GH levels below 1.8 ng/mL post-LT were 9 times more likely to survive one year post-transplant than patients with levels above the threshold.Conclusion.

Albumin sponges were obtained after being denatured at temperatures –15 °C, –17.5 °C, and –20 °C, with albumin levels 40 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, and 60 mg/mL in a thermostatic cooler. Their modulus of elasticity was measured. Eye tissues were isolated from adult sexually mature Iberian ribbed newts of both sexes. The posterior segment of each eye was placed on a sponge sample of albumin cryogel in penicillin vials, sealed and placed in a thermostat. At the end of cultivation, the samples were fixed, washed, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin. Paraffin sections were made, followed by staining. A Leica microscope (Germany) with an Olympus DP70 camera (Japan) was used to view histological sections. Fibroblast count in the histological sections was estimated using the ImageJ program.Results. Cryogel with initial albumin solution levels of 50 mg/mL obtained at –20 °C with 4.50 kPa elastic modulus, was chosen for the organ culture experiment. Histological studies showed that eye tissue integrity was maintained in the experiment when albumin-based scaffold was loaded with the bioregulator at doses of 2.46 × 10–5, 2.46 × 10–7, 2.46 × 10–9, 2.46 × 10–13, 2.46 × 10–15 μg. Moreover, the statistically significant difference for fibroblast count per unit area in the sclera partially correlates with the qualitative state of the posterior eye tissue itself. Groups where bioregulator isolated from the sclera had a dose of 2.46 × 10–7, 2.46 × 10–9 and 2.46 × 10–15 μg, showed the best result as compared with the control group.Conclusion. Albumin-based scaffold as a carrier with a bioregulator adsorbed on it (doses of 2.46 × 10–5, 2.46 × 10–7, 2.46 × 10–9, 2.46 × 10–13, 2.46 × 10–15 μg) is effective in maintaining eye tissue integrity and preserving Iberian ribbed newt fibroblasts.

From June 2018 to December 2022, 478 deceased-donor kidney transplants were performed at Botkin Hospital, Moscow. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I consisted of 128 patients who did not use the integrated strategy; Group II included 67 patients in whom the DGF prevention strategy was used at the perioperative stage. The integrated strategy involved the use of hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) using expanded criteria donors, the use of a second warm ischemia (SWI) elimination device, personalized initial calcineurin inhibitor (CI) dosing, and use of alprostadil for high vascular resistance in renal graft arteries.Results. DGF occurred in 5 of 44 patients (11.4%) that used the integrated strategy, and in 13 of 44 patients (29.5%) in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (p = 0.034), there was a medium strength relationship between the traits (V = 0.225). The use of the integrated DGF prevention approach reduced the chances of developing DGF by a factor of 0.3 (95% CI: 0.1–0.95). The risk of DGF in the integrated strategy group was 61.3% of the risk of DGF in the non-strategy group, thus the relative risk (RR) is 1.63 (95% CI: 1.1–2.4).

The objects of the study were three electrospun NGC samples: from synthetic material (polycaprolactone, PCL) and hybrid biomaterials (PCL + gelatin or PCL + collagen). The work compared the physical and mechanical properties of NGC: stiffness, plasticity, elasticity, brittleness, resistance to chemical attack, their ability to be impregnated with liquid media, permeability, possibility of making an anastomosis between the implant and the nerve during surgical procedure. Cadaveric material was the object of the study: we used a dissected superficial sensory branch of the human right radial nerve, 2 mm in diameter, isolated on the forearm, about 12 cm in length, because it most corresponded to the diameter of the NGC samples tested. After surgery, the echogenic features of the implants and their anastomoses with the nerve were assessed by ultrasound imaging.Results. It was found that hybrid NGC samples, based on their biomechanical properties, are fundamentally suitable for use in surgical practice, to ensure growth and replacement of a peripheral nerve defect.
