[Studies on the functional ability of swine liver perfused with human blood in machine recirculation attempt. 2. Behavior of serochemical parameters].

In the present paper is reported on the behavior of different serochemical parameters in heterologous perfusion of the liver of pigs. The perfusion of the animal livers was carried out with preserved human blood in 11 recirculation experiments (closed machine circulations). In addition to this an empty circulation with human blood without attachment to an animal liver was carried out, whereby otherwise the arrangement of the experiment was the same, in order to take into consideration the effects of the blood traumatisation in the interpretation of the results. The enzymes GOT and LAP proved as sensible indicators of the lesion of the liver cells occurring in the perfusion of the liver of the pigs. The behavior of the mitochondrial GDH as well as of the lysosomal enzymes SP and BETA-GC which scarcely increased during the recirculations in the perfusate blood, however, allows the conclusion that there did not appear a severe lesion of the liver cells (necrobiosis) during several hours of perfusion. A cholestasis did not develop during the perfusions, when one takes as basis the behavior of the enzymes AP, GGTP and AAP indicating cholestasis. Compared with GOT the enzyme GPT showed by far less elevations in the perfusate blood so that with increasing duration of the perfusion the De-Ritis-quotient significantly increased. Increased LDH-activities above all revealed the increasing during perfusion haemolysis and less reliably a lesion of the liver of the pig. The increase of ADA in the perfusate blood proved as nearly exclusively conditioned by haemolysis. Total protein, albumins, immunoglobulins, cholinesterase and thymol turbidity test remained unchanged in the course of the perfusions.

Acid Phosphatase

[Simultaneous extra-corporeal oxygenation and haemodialysis in intesive medicine (a case report) (author's transl)].

In the field of intensive care there is a rise in the number of patients with distrubed or defunct vital functions, in whom multilateral therapy on traditional lines fails. The necessity of introducing new forms of treatment has been the occasion for the development of a universal perfusion device for temporary artificial multiple-organ substitution in the Faculty of Medicine at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. This apparatus makes possible the substitution of, or support for, the functions of lungs, kidneys and liver singly or combined, via the extracorporeal treatment of the blood. The shortterm use of the apparatus is intended to provide, in addition to functional substitution of the organs, the best possible conditions for the regeneration of damaged organs. A critical account is given of the clinical application of the apparatus.

Acute Kidney Injury

[Experimental kidney preservation for 30 hours in Collins' solution: angiographical and isotope nephrographical findings after autotransplantation].

In experiment canine kidneys preserved in Collins' solution can be kept vital for 30 hours. Angiography after autotransplantation of these kidneys shows good circulation during the immediate postoperative period. Isotope nephrography reveals reversible damage of tubuli which disappears till the 28th day after operation. This procedure of preservation causes tubular damage but does not impair the parenchymatous blood supply. Tubular regeneration therefore is possible.
