Use of a Hanging-weight System for Liver Ischemia in Mice
1UCH Transplant Center, University of Colorado, Denver, 2Department of Anesthesiology, University of Colorado, Denver
We established a novel murine model of a hanging weight system for portal triad occlusion. This technique may be useful for future investigations of ischemia in murine hepatic models.

Perfusion Storage Reduces Apoptosis in a Porcine Kidney Model of Donation After Cardiac Death
Donation after cardiac death (DCD) kidneys suffer a high incidence of delayed graft function attributable to warm ischemia and cold ischemia (CI). Neither the mechanism of injury nor type of cell death has been described. Clinical studies suggest that perfusion storage (PS) of DCD kidneys may reduce injury although the mechanism of protection is unknown. In a porcine model of DCD, we hypothesized that DCD kidneys have increased caspase-1 due to warm ischemia (WI) and increased caspase-3 and apoptosis due to CI.
