Delayed graft function (DEGF) remains an obscure phenomenon in organ transplantation. For the optimal washing of the compounds of the different organ flush solutions, adequate temperature and equilibrium of electrolytes have to be provided. A total of 29 land-race pigs weighing 37.3-5.4 kg were included in this study. According to the model, the left hemipancreas was perfused with Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate (HTK)-solution and autotransplanted after 24 h (G1, n = 13) and 48 h (G2, n = 4) of cold storage (CS). Results were compared with grafts perfused with UW-solution and autotransplanted after 24 h (G3, n = 8) and 48 h (G4, n = 4) CS respectively. Daily measurements of glycemia, glucosuria, amylase and lipase were carried out. HTK perfusion resulted in an increase in wet weight of the grafts after 24 h and 48 h CS (P = 0.031 vs UW). Postoperative glycemia levels in pancreases flushed with HTK-solution were higher after 48 h than after 24 h CS until the 6th postoperative day, when the glycemia returned to normal range (P = 0.02), suggesting a delayed endocrine graft function. The mean IVGTT values attained after full function were comparable in G1 and in G3 (-1.22 +/- 0.23 vs. -1.5 +/- 0.65). The rises in serum amylase and lipase levels were more pronounced after 48 h CS in both HTK and UW groups, (P = n.s.). Appearance of interstitial and intracellular edema after CS and reperfusion did not influence the function. CONCLUSIONS HTK-solution is suitable for 24 h pancreatic preservation in vivo; the perfusion requires at least 4 min for electrolyte equilibration. Long preservation time (48 h) resulted in a transitory DEGF.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008353 Mannitol A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity. (L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D011189 Potassium Chloride A white crystal or crystalline powder used in BUFFERS; FERTILIZERS; and EXPLOSIVES. It can be used to replenish ELECTROLYTES and restore WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE in treating HYPOKALEMIA. Slow-K,Chloride, Potassium
D011343 Procaine A local anesthetic of the ester type that has a slow onset and a short duration of action. It is mainly used for infiltration anesthesia, peripheral nerve block, and spinal block.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
