Review of Current Machine Perfusion Therapeutics for Organ Preservation.

TL;DR: Ex situ machine perfusion (MP), compared with the traditional static cold storage, may better protect marginal organs from ischemia-reperfusion injury and act as a platform for dynamic administration of pharmacological agents or gene therapy to further improve transplant outcomes.

Total parenteral nutrition in ex vivo lung perfusion: Addressing metabolism improves both inflammation and oxygenation.

TL;DR: The addition of total parenteral nutrition in EVLP allows for better electrolyte composition, decreased inflammation, and improved graft performance, as well as a shift toward proteolysis for energy substrate.

The role of sphingosine kinase 2 in alcoholic liver disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that compared to wild-type mice, SphK2 deficient (SphK2-/-) mice exhibited a greater degree of liver injury and hepatic lipid accumulation after feeding with an alcohol diet for 60 days, and modulating the SphK 2-mediated signaling pathway may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ALD and other metabolic liver diseases.

Blocking SphK1/S1P/S1PR1 Signaling Pathway Alleviates Lung Injury Caused by Sepsis in Acute Ethanol Intoxication Mice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored whether sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1)/sphingosinesine-1-phosphate (S1P)/s1P/S1PR1) signaling pathway functions in lung injury caused by acute ethanol intoxication-enhanced sepsis, as well as its underlying mechanism.

Technique for prolonged normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion.

TL;DR: Twelve hours of EVLP at physiologic temperatures using an acellular perfusate is achievable and maintains the donor lungs without inflicting significant added injury and can be used to assess, maintain and treat injured donor lungs.

Reperfusion injury significantly impacts clinical outcome after pulmonary transplantation

TL;DR: Clinical impact of reperfusion injury in lung transplant recipients from June 1990 until June 1998 increased in-hospital mortality and morbidity resulting in prolonged ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and cost of hospitalization.

Selective sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 receptor activation reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in mouse kidney

TL;DR: The mechanisms involved in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) are complex and appear to involve the early participation of bone marrow-derived cells and T lymphocytes participate in the pathogenesis of IRI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a molecular target of psychosine and its role in globoid cell formation.

TL;DR: The discovery of a molecular target for psychosine suggests a mechanism for the globoid cell histology characteristic of GLD, provides a tool with which to explore the disjunction of mitosis and cytokinesis in cell cultures, and provides a platform for developing a medicinal chemistry for Psychosine.
