Background: Shortening the recipient warm ischemia time (rWIT) has been proven to be effective for improving the short- and long-term outcomes after liver transplantation (LT) and offsets the negative impact of an extended cold ischemia time. However, few studies have been conducted to explore the prognostic effects of shortening the rWIT in transplantations using a liver graft from an extended-criteria donor (ECD).
Aim: To investigate whether shortening the rWIT could improve the outcomes of ECD LT.
Methods: Rat ECD autologous orthotopic LT were performed with variable rWITs (0, 10, 20, and 30 minutes). Near-infrared fluorescence imaging (FI) was used for the real-time assessment of liver graft ischemia-reperfusion injury after the anhepatic phase. Survival was assessed, and liver function and histological analyses were performed on the third day after transplantation.
Results: The FI curve growth rate and postoperative three-day survival rate significantly increased, and the liver function and Suzuki score of the liver grafts significantly improved when the rWIT was ≤ 10 minutes ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: The post-transplant outcomes were significantly better with a shorter rWIT (10 minutes or less) than with a longer rWIT, which could be a strategy for expanding the liver donor pool.

Unlabelled: Hypoxia is a part of many pathological and some physiological processes. It also occurs as a result of surgical techniques associated with limiting the blood supply to the operated organs and tissues. Hypoxia leads to a significant decrease in the ability of cells to implement energy-dependent processes due to a reduced contribution of mitochondria to the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The growing disparity between the demand for pancreas transplants and the availability of suitable organs underscores the urgent need for innovative donor strategies, including the utilization of donors after circulatory death (DCD). This scoping review presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of transplantation outcomes between DCD and donors after brain death (DBD), focusing on pancreatic graft survival, postoperative complications, and functional metrics such as graft performance and HbA1c levels. Although DCD grafts were suspected to be associated with higher rates of early complications, including delayed graft function and thrombosis, altogether resulting from potentially more ischemia-reperfusion injuries, their long-term outcomes are comparable to those of DBD grafts.

Background: Pedal acceleration time (PAT) is a novel indicator of peripheral arterial disease in the lower limbs. Elevated PAT values are associated with worse limb ischemia. Arterial stiffness indexes are another class of indicators recently studied in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Background: Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark feature of cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. This has impeded the development of effective therapies, particularly for peripheral artery disease. FK506-binding protein like (FKBPL) and its therapeutic peptide mimetic, AD-01, are crucial negative regulators of angiogenesis, however their roles in CVD are unknown.
