Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A modified hemoglobin solution (<pyridoxylated hemoglobin>-<polyoxyethylene> conjugate solution, PHP solution) has very interesting characteristics such as oxygen-carrying property without corpuscular components. Experimental use of the PHP solution has shown promising possibilities as a perfusate relevant to organ transplantations. 1) Elongation of warm ischemic time in canine kidneys: Dogs survived even with the unilateral kidneys which had been exposed up to 4.5 hour warm ischemia and, thereafter, perfused with the PHP solution. 2) Elongation of perfusion preservation period of canine livers: Dogs survived with the transplanted livers which had been perfused for 48 hours with the PHP solution. 3) Successful perfusion of rat small intestine: Lewis rat intestines perfused and preserved for 12 hours with the PHP solution showed a higher survival rate compared with those with Collins or UW solution. 4) Removal of antibodies: By exchange transfusion with a total of 30-60 ml of the PHP solution, a Lewis rat hematocrit lowered to 5% while IgG went down to nil from 8970 mg/dl, IgA to 28 mg/dl from 118 mg/dl and IgM to 190 mg/dl from 897 mg/dl. This technique is expected to be applicable for removal of the naturally existing antibodies in xenotransplantation.
