Background: Deceased donor kidneys have a high incidence of delayed graft function attributable to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although preservation solution and cold storage reduce cold ischemic injury, the depletion of cellular energy and oxidative signalling leads to cellular damage. Because bone morphogenetic protein-7 has renoprotective effect, we have hypothesized that recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rh BMP-7) will better preserve kidney tissue exposed to prolonged cold ischemia in comparison with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution. We evaluated how the duration of cold ischemia influences the cold ischemic injury.
Methods: Levels of lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl content, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were determined in the kidneys by spectrophotometry after 6, 12, and 24 hours of cold ischemia.
Results: Time-dependent increases in the levels of lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl content at all time points were significantly lower in rhBMP-7-perfused kidneys versus the UW-treated group. SOD activity after 6 hours, as well as GSH-Px activity after 24 hours of cold ischemia was significantly higher in the kidney tissue perfused by rhBMP-7 than in UW group.
Conclusion: rhBMP-7 significantly decreases cellular damage in rat kidney versus UW preservation solution and this is attributed to lowering of cold ischemia injury and maintaining prolonged tissue antioxidant activity.

Background: Data on the occurrence of unexpected sudden cardiac death (SCD) in different seasons are limited.
Methods: All unexpected sudden death victims have to undergo medico-legal autopsy obligated by the Finnish law. Consecutive series of all unexpected autopsied SCD victims (n=5,869) were prospectively collected from the geographically defined area in the Northern Finland during a twenty years period from 1998 to 2017.

Frostbite injury refers to cold tissue injury which typically affects the peripheral areas of the body, and is associated with limb loss and high rates of morbidity. Historically, treatment options have been limited to supportive care, leading to suboptimal outcomes for affected patients. The pathophysiology of frostbite injury has been understood in recent years to share similarity with that of cold ischemia-reperfusion injury as seen in solid organ transplantation, of which mitochondria play an important contributing role.

Background: Machine perfusion (MP), including hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE), dual HOPE, normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), NMP ischemia-free liver transplantation (NMP-ILT), and controlled oxygenated rewarming (COR), is increasingly being investigated to improve liver graft quality from extended criteria donors and donors after circulatory death and expand the donor pool. This network meta-analysis investigates the comparative efficacy and safety of various liver MP strategies versus traditional static cold storage (SCS).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing liver transplantation (LT) outcomes between SCS and MP techniques.
