Cell Tissue Bank
December 2017
Fondazione Banca dei Tessuti di Treviso onlus, Treviso, Italy.
The microbiological contamination of retrieved tissues has become a very important topic and it is a critical aspect in the safety of allografts, especially from multi-tissue donors whose tissues are frequently contaminated as a consequence of retrieval. We analysed a total of 10,107 tissues, 8178 musculoskeletal and 1929 cardiovascular tissues, retrieved from 978 multi-tissue donors. Of these, 159 heart-beating donors (HBD) were also organ donors, while the remaining 819 non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) were tissue donors only.

In this context, the cases with cardiac arrest and brain dead are assessed as probable donors in recent years. The aim of this study is to discuss the healthfully techniques of organs retrieval with minimum damage and maximum rapidity in conditions of our center and to present our own experiences.

Transplant Proc

Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Altindag, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Kidney transplantation is the therapy of choice for a patient with end-stage renal disease. Although the number of patients with end-stage renal disease is in constant increase, the total number of renal transplants stays almost the same.
Methods: This gap between wait-listed patients for transplantation and the limited number of donations has forced transplant centers to consider kidneys normally refused for transplantation.

In the field of organ transplantation medical ethics is confronted with a number of problems where the particular difficulty lies in the fact that ethical and anthropological questions interpenetrate. This article discusses two of these problems in this interface both of which are highly controversial: the real or apparent contradiction between the dead-donor rule and the traditional definition of death and the real or apparent contradiction between the ethical desirability of harvesting organs from non-heart beating donors and the irreversibility of brain death.
