title: [The effect of oxygen supply in continuous cold perfusion of the rat liver using perfluorochemical emulsion--parenchymal and nonparenchymal cell injuries evaluated with trypan blue perfusion/fixation techniques].
abstract: We investigated the effect of hypothermic aerobic perfusion of the rat liver using perfluoro-N-methyl-decahydroisoquinoline (FMIQ) on the cell viabilities of hepatic parenchyma and nonparenchyma in comparison with University of Wisconsin (UW) solution. Rat liver were perfused at 4 degrees C up to 24hr at a flow rate of 0.2 ml/g liver tissue/min with either UW or a perfusate (m-FMIQ) containing 20% FMIQ with or without oxygen saturation. After storage, livers were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing trypan blue (200 microM). Nuclear dye uptake was measured as an indicator of cell death. Dye uptake of parenchymal cells remained less than 2% for up to 24hr, regardless of perfusate or O2-saturation. In UW perfused livers, nonparenchymal cells showed time related increases of dye positive nuclei, which were not affected by O2-saturation (39.9 +/- 4.7% and 36.5 +/- 4.2% at 24hr in O2-saturated and nonsaturated groups, respectively). In contrast, we found excellent protective effects of oxygen supply with m-EMIQ on the nonparenchymal cell viability, the dye uptake values being 16.9 +/- 5.7% and 39.4 +/- 9.1% at 24hr in O2-saturated and nonsaturated groups, respectively (p < 0.001). In conclusion, oxygen supply during hypothermic perfusion may be useful in preventing nonparenchymal cell injury of the liver, thereby leading to dramatic improvement of the hepatic microcirculation.
