Background and Objectives: Although the shortage of donor is a common problem worldwide, a significant portion of unutilized hearts are classified as marginal donor (MD) hearts. However, research on the correlation between the MD and the prognosis of heart transplantation (HTx) is lacking. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical impact of MD in HTx. Methods: Consecutive 73 HTxs during 2014 and 2021 in a tertiary hospital were analyzed. MD was defined as follows; a donor age >55 years, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, cold ischemic time >240 minutes, or significant cardiac structural problems. Preoperative characteristics and postoperative hemodynamic data, primary graft dysfunction (PGD), and the survival rate were analyzed. Risk stratification by Index for Mortality Prediction after Cardiac Transplantation (IMPACT) score was performed to examine the outcomes according to the recipient state. Each group was sub-divided into 2 risk groups according to the IMPACT score (low <10 vs. high ≥10). Results: A total of 32 (43.8%) patients received an organ from MDs. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was more frequent in the non-MD group (34.4% vs. 70.7, p=0.007) There was no significant difference in PGD, 30-day mortality and long-term survival between groups. In the subgroup analysis, early outcomes did not differ between low- and high-risk groups. However, the long-term survival was better in the low-risk group (p=0.01). Conclusions: The outcomes of MD group were not significantly different from non-MD group. Particularly, in low-risk recipient, the MD group showed excellent early and long-term outcomes. These results suggest the usability of selected MD hearts without increasing adverse events.

One-hundred eighty four medical doctors and 349 nurses out of 6 university hospitals and 1 general hospital were surveyed from Mar. 3, to Mar. 31, 1995, in order to appreciate the extent of their understandings on the clinical nurse specialist system. The difference was analyzed by the subjects' age, their position and department, the expected benefits of the system. the assigned department, the position and qualification, the required special educational organization and program, and the extent of autonomy of the function of clinical nurse specialists and the special nursing field. The results were as follows ; 1. The perception about the expected benefits of the introduction of clinical nurse specialist system was significantly different among the age groups of medical doctors, and the age group of 40s among them showed the most positive perception. 2. The extent of acquaintance with clinical nurse specialist was the higher in the older age groups of respondent nurses. Meanwhile, the experience of participation with clinical nurse specialists was the more in the older age group of medical doctors. 3. The opinion about the required position of clinical nurse specialists was significantly different by the age and position of the respondent nurses. The rank of head nurse was suggested by the respondent nurses of older age and higher positon, while the level of in-charge nurse was suggested by the staff nurses. Also, the duration of clinical experience required of clinical nurse specialists was the most frequently responded as 6 to 10 years by nurses, as 2 to 5 years by medical doctors. 4. The degree of educational background required of clinical nurse specialists was differently responded by the various position of medical doctors and nurses. Of the medical doctors, professors frequently responded bachelor degree and medical residents frequently responded master degree as the required educational background. Of the nurses, nursing administrators more frequently responded that master degree was required of clinical nurse specialists than staff nurses and clinical nurse specialists did. 5. The extent of acquaintance with clinical nurse specialist system was different among the various department of medical doctors, which was the highest in the doctors of psychiatry, internal medicine and pediatrics, respectively. The doctors of surgery were the least acquainted of clinical nurse specialist. 6. The nurses of special parts, of surgery and of obstetrics & pediatrics responded more frequently that clinical nurse specialists should belong to the nursing department than the nurses of internal medicine and of others did. 7. The Special parts that necessitate clinical nurse specialists were responded to be the more important by nurses than by medical doctors. Clinical nurse specialists were responded to be the more necessary in the parts of diabetics, oncology, pyschiatry, dialysis, organ transplantation, intensive care, and in cardiovascular part. They were responded to be the less important in the parts of intravenous therapy, computer informatics, nursing administration, the improvement of nursing quality.

Hypothermia during lung preservation decreases metabolic processes. After the rabbit lung was flushed with modified Euro-Collins solution, heart-lung block was harvested and the left lung was assessed after ligation of the right pulmonary artery and right main-stem bronchus. Heart-lung block was immersed in the same solution for 6 hours. The modified Euro-Collins solution and storage temperature of group 1(10 cases) was 4t, roup 2(10 cases) was l0℃. On completion of the storage period, the left lung was ventilated and reperfused with blood u:high used a cross-circulating paracorporeal rabbit as a "biologic deoxygenator" for 60 minutes. Pulmonary artery pressure, airway pressure, difference in oxygen tension between mow and outflow perfusate and degree of pulmonary edema were assessed at 10-minute intervals while the left lung was ventilated at 0.8 of the inspired oxygen fraction. The mean pulmonary venous oxygen tensions at 10 and 60 minutes after reperfusion were 209.52±42.46 and 103.48± 15.96 mmHg in group I versus 247.78±36.19 and 147.91 ± 11.07 mmHg in group II(p=0.049, (0.0001). The mean alveolar-arterial oxygen differences at 20 and 60 minutes after reperfusion were 357. 95± 12.84 and 437.31 14.26 mmHg in group I versus 310.88±3).47 and )90.93± 15.86 mmHg in group II (p=0.0092, (0.0001). The mean pulmonary arterial pressures at 10 and 60 minutes after reperfusion were 40.56± 18.66 and 87. 2± 17.22 mmHg in group I versus 31.22±6.84 and 65.78± 11.02 mmHg in group rl (p : 0.048, 0.0062). The mean pulmonary vascular resistances at 10 and 60 minutes after reperfusion were 2.69±0.85 and 4.36±0.86 mmHg/ml/min in group I versus 1.99±0.39 and 3.29±0.55 mmHg/ml/min in group II(p : 0.0323, 0.0062). There were no difference between groups in peak airway pressure, lung compliance and degree of pulmonary edema. In conclusion that preservation of lung at l0℃ was superior to preservation at 4℃.
Background: Tracheal transplantation is necessary in patients with extensive tracheal stenosis, congenital lesions and other oncologic conditions but bears. many critical problems compared to other organ transplantations. The purpose of this study was to develop intestine-cartilage composite grafts for potential application in tracheal reconstruction by free intestinal graft. Material and Method: Hyaline cartilage was harvested from trachea of 2 weeks old New Zealand White Rabbits. Chondrocytes were isolated and cultured for 8 weeks. Cultured chondrocytes were seeded in the PLGA scaffolds and mixed in pluronic gel Chondrocyte bearing scaffolds and gel mixture were embedded in submucosal area of stomach and colon of 3 kg weighted New Zealand White Rabbits under general anesthesia. 10 weeks after implantation, bowels were harvested for evaluation. Result: We identified implantation site by gross examination and palpation. Developed cartilage made a good frame for shape memory. Microscopic examinations included special stain s howed absorption of scaffold and cartilage formation even though it was not fully matured. Conclusion: Intestine-cartilage composite graft could be applicable in the future as tracheal substitute and should be further investigated.
This study was carried out to investigate the fine structural changes of rat hepatocytes by repeated treatment of cyclosporin A that has been widely used for immunosuppressive drug in organ transplantation. Sprague-Dawley rats were kept in experimental circumstances for 2 weeks and 50mg/kg B.W of cyclosporin A was injected once a day subcutaneously for 7 days and sacrificed at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days after the last injection. Fine structural changes were observed by transmission electron microscope (JEM 1200EX II) and the results obtained were as follows. 1. Accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes was prominently increased in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and this finding was slightly reduced in 3 days lapse group and remarkably reduced from 7 days lapse group enough to be recovered completely in 14 days lapse group. 2. Dilatation of rough endoplasmic reticule cisternae, detachment of membrane bound ribosomes, proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticula were observed in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and these findings were mild in 3 days lapse group and abruptly reduced from 7 days lapse group enough to be recovered completely in 28 days lapse group. 3. Small myelin figures were observed in 3 days lapse group after CsA-treatment. 4. Swelling of mitochondria and destruction of their cristae were observed in 1 hour and 1 day lapse groups, and these findings were recovered from 3 days lapse group. 5. Dilatation of bile canaliculi and remarkable loss of microvilli in the pericanalicular wall were observed in 1 hour lapse group and the most severe change was shown in 1 day lapse group and lasted to 3 days lapse group, and these findings were reduced gradually from 7 days lapse group enough to recovered completely in 28 days lapse group.

The aim of this study was to test the correlation of ethical values and perception of biomedical ethics in nursing students. Data was collected from September 10th to October 5th 2012, was analyzed using the t-test, the one-way ANOVA, the Scheffe, the Multiple regression and Pearson's correlation. The average point of consciousness of biomedical ethics was 2.98(${\pm}0.2$). The highest score of 3.27(${\pm}0.5$) was seen in the category of the ethics for 'right to life of the fetus', the lowest score of 2.70(${\pm}0.4$) was seen in the 'organ transplantation'. As a result of analyzing on general and specific aspects, the difference was found in gender and ethical values(F=6.148, p=<.001). In gender, the score of biomedical ethics(r=0.108, p=.003) and ethical values(r=-0.185, p=.002) were showing a positive correlation. The predictors of biomedical ethics was gender(${\beta}$=0.205, t=3.399, p=<.001), the possibility of biomedical ethics problems depend on the development of science (${\beta}$=0.142, t=2.261, p=0.025) and ethical values(${\beta}$=0.189, t=3.119, p=0.002). These results can provide a basic data to enhance the consciousness of biomedical ethics and establish a educational program of biomedical ethics for nursing students.
The SCID-repopulation cells(SRCs) assay has been widely used to determine the self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). In this study, we tested the repopulating efficiency of porcine bone marrow derived hematopoietic stem cells using nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodieficient (NOD/SCID) mice which was inherited immunodeficiency mire with defect of T cells, B cells, and low activity of NK cells. We transplanted porcine bone marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with intraperitoneal injection into neonate NOD/SCID mice. We confirmed efficient reconstitution activity of inoculated porcine hematopoietis cells in variety of organs of NOD/SCID mice. Interestingly, pig $CD3^+$ T lymphocytes detected with high level in liver($15.6{\pm}3.7%$), spleen($5.6{\pm}3.0%$), thymus($1.5{\pm}1.3%$), and BM($2.3{\pm}0.9%$), respectively. These data imply that microenvironment of neonate NOD/SCID mice is very efficient for proliferation and differentiation of porcine T cells, and can be useful for the study of T cells development and renogeneic organ transplantation.

"To be, or not to be?" This question is not only Hamlet's agony but also the dilemma of mitochondria in a cancer cell. Cancer cells have a high glycolysis rate even in the presence of oxygen. This feature of cancer cells is known as the Warburg effect, named for the first scientist to observe it, Otto Warburg, who assumed that because of mitochondrial malfunction, cancer cells had to depend on anaerobic glycolysis to generate ATP. It was demonstrated, however, that cancer cells with intact mitochondria also showed evidence of the Warburg effect. Thus, an alternative explanation was proposed: the Warburg effect helps cancer cells harness additional ATP to meet the high energy demand required for their extraordinary growth while providing a basic building block of metabolites for their proliferation. A third view suggests that the Warburg effect is a defense mechanism, protecting cancer cells from the higher than usual oxidative environment in which they survive. Interestingly, the latter view does not conflict with the high-energy production view, as increased glucose metabolism enables cancer cells to produce larger amounts of both antioxidants to fight oxidative stress and ATP and metabolites for growth. The combination of these two different hypotheses may explain the Warburg effect, but critical questions at the mechanistic level remain to be explored. Cancer shows complex and multi-faceted behaviors. Previously, there has been no overall plan or systematic approach to integrate and interpret the complex signaling in cancer cells. A new paradigm of collaboration and a well-designed systemic approach will supply answers to fill the gaps in current cancer knowledge and will accelerate the discovery of the connections behind the Warburg mystery. An integrated understanding of cancer complexity and tumorigenesis is necessary to expand the frontiers of cancer cell biology.
In recent years the number of patients waiting for organ transplantation has greatly outpaced the supply of human organs available, which leads to a renewed interest in pig-to-human xenotransplantation as an alternative. However, one of the biggest barriers in the xenotransplantation is presence of porcine endogenous retroviruses(PERV) that can infect human cells. In this study, to present a possible solution for this problem we tried to inhibit expression of PERVs using shRNAs(short hairpin RNA) at the level of RNA synthesis and virus release. The shRNA targeting the sequence of PERV A, B type was cloned into pSIREN-RetroQ vector under the control of polymerase-III U6-RNA gene promoter. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect my alterations in mRNA production of PERV A, B targeted by the shRNA in each done. Depending on the target sequence of the shRNA, the transcription of PERV was decreased to as much as 4% and the number of progeny viruses was reduced to less than 1/200,000. Transgenic pigs producing such shRNAs may result in a highly reduced PERV expression in cells and organs, which is a prerequisite for safe xenotransplantations.
Total body irradiation in the treatment of childhood leukemia, which is one of the pre-treatment with stem cell transplantation is being used, the current organization using compensators are treated. However, under the terms of the compensator organization long-term impact on the human body, it is difficult to assess directly. In this study, we use the mathematical simulation of radiation exposures body energy and the distance to the crew and the patient (source surface distance, SSD), and patients with tissue compensators change of the distance along the body of the organ doses were evaluated. As a result, the surface dose of energy 4 MV, SSD 280 cm, tissue compensators and the patient when the distance 30 cm 5.84 G / min showed the highest levels. In addition, patients with tissue compensators and the distance apart when 30 cm TBI represents the ideal dose distribution was found.
