The two-layer cold storage method (TLM) using University of Wisconsin (UW) solution supplies sufficient oxygen to pancreatic grafts during preservation and extends pancreas preservation time to up to 96 h in the canine model. Simple cold storage in UW (UWM) on the other hand, preserves canine pancreas grafts for up to 72 h by preventing cell swelling, mainly because of its high osmotic pressure. The aim of this study is to analyze morphologically dog pancreatic grafts preserved by these two methods with their different mechanisms. Immediately after preservation of canine pancreata by TLM for 72 h and 96 h (group 1 and group 3, respectively), and by UWM for 72 h and 96 h (group 2 and group 4, respectively), tissue ATP levels were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and detailed morphological analyses of intragraft components were performed using light- and electron microscopy. The mean areas of one mitochondrion and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) vacuolization were calculated by computer-graphic analyses using NIH image 1.62 f soft. The tissue ATP levels were significantly higher in groups 1 and 3 than groups 2 and 4 ( P < 0.05). Light microscopy demonstrated no marked difference among the 4 groups. By electron microscopy however, mitochondrial swelling and RER vacuolization were observed in acinar cells to various extents in the 4 groups. They were significantly more evident in group 2 than group 1 ( P < 0.05), and in group 4 than group 3 ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, TLM demonstrated excellent protection of intracellular organelles, mitochondria, and RER, up to 72-96 h. Well-maintained graft ATP levels in TLM groups may result in maintaining the integrity of intracellular organelle membranes as well as cellular membranes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009926 Organ Preservation The process by which organs are kept viable outside of the organism from which they were removed (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism). Organ Preservations,Preservation, Organ,Preservations, Organ
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.
