Am J Transplant 2006; 6:1696-1703. As perfluorocarbon increases islet yields, this study evaluated the mechanism by which islets undergo apoptosis and determine the effects of perfluorocarbon on this process. Gene array analysis was used to analyze the expression of pro- and antiapoptotic genes in islets isolated from pancreata preserved under varying conditions. They showed that reduction in hypoxia of pancreata preserved using perfluorocarbon leads to significant upregulation of antiapoptotic and inhibition of proapoptotic genes.

In this article, the authors used M-Kyoto instead of UW for the TLM, containing trehalose (a cytoprotective agent) and ulinastatin (a trypsin inhibitor). They showed an improved islet yield in porcine islet isolation, compared with UW solution alone and decided to use M-Kyoto solution for clinical islet transplantation from nonheart-beating donor pancreata.

The authors showed that the donor and the recipient maintained excellent glycemic control with no untreatable complications for more than 1 year.

The authors showed no beneficial effect of the TLM on islet isolation and transplantation outcomes and question the true merit of routine use of the TLM prior to islet isolation.

Am J Transplant 2006; 6:2243-2255. This study examined whether ex-vivo delivery of carbon monoxide in UW solution could ameliorate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Carbon monoxide induces HO-1, increased graft cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels, and improved graft blood flow. The authors suggest that ex-vivo carbon monoxide delivery into UW solution would be a simple and innovative therapeutic strategy to improve quality of grafts.
