Article Abstract
A promising way to increase the number of kidneys for transplantation is to expand the donor pool by including non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs). The centers involved in NHBD transplantation programs have reported a 16-40% increase in kidney transplants. A key issue with NHBD is the significantly higher rate of delayed graft function (DGF) and primary non-function (PNF) compared with that associated with heart-beating donor (HBD) transplants. However, although transplants from NHBD are associated with a greater incidence of early adverse events, long-term graft survival appears to be similar to that observed after transplants from HBDs. In addition, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanical perfusion, the careful selection of recipients and donors, and an adequate therapeutic strategy may at least partially reduce the risk of PNF and DGF and improve transplant outcome.

Living donor transplantation constitutes a small portion of total transplants in the United States as compared Southeast Asia and Middle East. Recent consensus meeting has identified reluctance on the part of transplant providers and donor financial concerns as the major hindrance in increasing the Living donor liver transplants in US. There is a need to carefully analyze the recent outcome data from across the globe and from large volume North American centers that clearly establishes the benefit of Living donor transplants for both adults and children and reducing wait list mortality.

Background: Lung transplantation is the only viable option for end-stage respiratory diseases, with the global prevalence of this procedure on the rise in recent years. However, it is still plagued by various complications, for which no satisfactory therapy has yet been identified. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these post-transplant complications may be beneficial to enhance patient outcomes.

Donor lung ventilation and inflation during the warm ischemia could attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after lung transplantation. Hydrogen sulfide (HS), as a kind of protective gas, has demonstrated the antilung IRI effect. This study is aimed at observing the different methods of administering HS in the setting of warm ischemia, ventilation, and inflation on the lung graft from a rat non-heart-beating donor.

The impact of ischaemia can severely damage procured donor organs for transplantation. The pancreas, and pancreatic islets in particular, is one of the most sensitive tissues towards hypoxia. The present study was aimed to assess the effect of hypoxic preconditioning (HP) performed ex-vivo in islets isolated from heart-beating donor (HBD) and non heart-beating donor (NHBD) rats.

Background: (Pre-)Implantation biopsies provide important data on the quality of donor kidneys. Interstitial fibrosis, as a known predictor for kidney disease progression, is an essential feature of this evaluation. However, the assessment of frozen sections of implantation biopsies is challenging and can result in the disposal of candidate organs.
