实验猪OLTx是没有临床情况的重症监护资源研究设定一个具有挑战性的过程。可能的并发症包括血流动力学不稳定，出血，器官缺血，低体温，和代谢，以及呼吸，代偿失调。对于任何研究组中，外科技术5以及猪麻醉14,15的足够程序训练是强制性的，以实现具有代表性和可再现的结果。 许多技术微妙之处已经在文献中进行了描述，特别是关于血管重建阶段5。上述OLTx协议提供了一个静脉-替换模型类似于人OLTx所需的信息。所提供的结果证明可靠的动物生存和移植物复苏都HBD和DCD模式。该协议适用于移植再灌注EXPE用短期生存场景riments，例如，以及在长期生存车型如公差研究。 猪OLTx的一个很大的障碍就是静脉和门静脉交叉夹紧相对耐受性差。在无肝期内脏充血引起静脉高压和毛细血管损伤甚至器官再灌注后7可能导致重大肠缺血和血液动力学不稳定的不可逆性休克的地步。由于腔静脉完全嵌入在肝实质中，静脉保背驮式程序是不可行的。下腔静脉在静脉重建阶段完全闭塞损害猪的血流动力学稳定。虽然几个报告表明，猪OLTx可以小于25分钟16,17总静脉，门静脉闭塞期间完成，血管重建时的门-静脉-颈静脉旁路技术是更安全和更实际的选择7- 9,18。在日Ë作者的经验，一个被动的波尔图，颈静脉旁路不是最佳的在无肝期，保持猪血流动力学稳定。旁路模式，包括肝下静脉和门静脉活跃的减压，使得肝上下腔静脉和门静脉吻合甚至延长阻断时间的平静重建阶段，由于不可预见的并发症。相反，以前的报告7，脾切除术是不是强制性的，当门户旁路导管被删除。无论脾动脉和静脉被关闭大约一半沿脾的长度留一半近端充分灌注。像并发症出血或空气栓塞，由于旁路断线都是可以避免通过确保旁路小心放置和固定正常。 在长期的生存OLTx实验，胆管吻合术被认为是一个薄弱点，由于其并发症发生率高19。胆道组织是很脆弱的，NEEDS特殊照顾，当被处理。许多不同的吻合技术已经描述5,19。端至端吻合术在技术上是容易的，并以最少的并发症19相关联。连续缝合与非切割针包括胆管周围结缔组织的大段似乎要优于间断缝合。胆管下放置不必要的紧张，当单针间断缝合打结是。这可能会导致组织撕裂和连续胆汁泄漏。缝合材料 - 可吸收或不可吸收的 - 通常是不重要的，因为它的寿命有限，直到猪被终止。在过去的数个月的长期生存模型，可吸收缝合线 - 就像人类OLTx - 是可取的。 具体必须注意与术后随访。充足的营养和流体供应，有可靠的疼痛缓解协议，和一个适当的免疫抑制制度是强制性的。对于长期实验中，免疫抑制显得尤为重要。相对于其他哺乳类动物，猪表明OLTx 20,21后一个令人惊讶的低免疫排斥反应率。圆形细胞浸润是在移植后的第二周最大，减少自发即使没有免疫抑制。拒绝是很少死亡猪OLTx 22后的原因。然而，即使使用免疫抑制协议涉及这里提到给予类固醇四和钙调磷酸酶抑制剂口服，移植物排斥是由OLTx之后开始在约4天转氨酶轻度增加表示，并通过表观门户字段圆形细胞浸润证实。钙调磷酸酶抑制剂可以给任何婆23,24或25,26 IV;这两种方法都有缺点。即使口服应用助剂，实际量到达胃肠道仍然难以捉摸。另一方面，持续静脉输注猪的笔有积极的动物是困难的。因此，四应用必须进行以大丸剂，这导致在高药物浓度的峰值随着潜在的毒性作用。然而，应用这两种方法出现，以允许长期生存。 类似于临床上，手术后应激性溃疡的预防建议。手术后出血从消化性溃疡是一种常见的问题，并可能与一个肝功能损害27。经过这两个团OLTx消化道出血少数情况下，作者开始定期预防与泮托拉唑，并没有遇到任何胃肠道出血至今。 严格维持在无菌条件术，可比的条件在临床手术室，以及随之而来的预防性抗生素，降低感染并发症的风险。 总之，本品Provides实用信息在研究环境建立猪OLTx程序。足够的奉献精神，实践和团队合作是为了降低学习期间，产生可靠的结果，并降低成本，研究动物的数量重要。

原位肝移植（OLTx）是治疗终末期肝病或晚期肝癌的唯一的治疗选择。在过去的25年中，考生在轮候名单上的人数逐渐增加，现在远远超过可移植的数量。在大多数移植的地区，病人轮候肝脏移植20〜30％死亡，而不会收到器官移植或摘牌是由于疾病的进展。策略，以增加供体库，因此，可移植的数量，都迫切需要。扩展标准器官分配，长时间保存移植和诱导免疫耐受仍然代表主要的临床挑战1-3。因此，实验OLTx研究是枢转，以优化临床OLTx实践。 猪OLTx是类似于人类OLTx在许多方面，包括升行之有效的实验模型艾弗大小，解剖学，生理学4-6。因此，它已成为一个标准的实验方法在研究领域，如外科手术技术，生理学，免疫学，保存，和缺血再灌注损伤。许多接枝采购，收件人肝切除，和，特别是，血管重建，技术在文献5已经描述。合适的技术的选择，根据研究人员的偏好和技术能力而变化。 与此相反的人的情况下，在无肝期内脏拥塞表示在猪OLTx一个重要问题。随后肠缺血和充血性血管损伤可引起严重的血液动力学不稳定，危及猪存活，因此，在实验7-9中的成功。因此，足够的肠减压是强制性的，尤其是在缺乏技术精制而成的实验设置。 我们荷兰国际集团积极波尔图腔静脉，颈静脉分流术无肝期的持续时间是一个可靠的选择，以避免肠道堵塞。该系统可用于早期再灌注的实验以及长期生存的情景。下面的协议中包含的所有信息建立一个稳定和可重复的肝移植模型的猪，包括供肝采购，受体手术切除包括和终端到终端的血管重建技术，和术后护理。

technique of porcine liver procurement and orthotopic transplantation using an active porto-caval shunt

The success of liver transplantation has resulted in a dramatic organ shortage. Each year, a considerable number of patients on the liver transplantation waiting list die without receiving an organ transplant or are delisted due to disease progression. Even after a successful transplantation, rejection and side effects of immunosuppression remain major concerns for graft survival and patient morbidity. 
Experimental animal research has been essential to the success of liver transplantation and still plays a pivotal role in the development of clinical transplantation practice. In particular, the porcine orthotopic liver transplantation model (OLTx) is optimal for clinically oriented research for its close resemblance to human size, anatomy, and physiology. 
Decompression of intestinal congestion during the anhepatic phase of porcine OLTx is important to guarantee reliable animal survival. The use of an active porto-caval-jugular shunt achieves excellent intestinal decompression. The system can be used for short-term as well as long-term survival experiments. The following protocol contains all technical information for a stable and reproducible liver transplantation model in pigs including post-operative animal care.

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Rats

Clinical progress in the field of liver transplantation has been largely supported by animal models1,2. Since the publication of the first orthotopic rat liver transplantation in 1979 by Kamada et al.3, this model has remained the gold standard despite various proposed alternative techniques4. Nevertheless, its broader use is limited by its steep learning curve5.
In this video paper, we show a simple and easy-to-establish revision of Kamada's two-cuff technique. The suprahepatic vena cava anastomosis is performed manually with a running suture, and the vena porta and infrahepatic vena cava anastomoses are performed utilizing a quick-linker cuff system6. Manufacturing the quick-linker kit is shown in a separate video paper.

We present an easy-to-establish revision of the classical two-cuff technique for orthotopic liver transplantation in rat.

Surgical Procedures for a Rat Model of Partial Orthotopic Liver Transplantation with Hepatic Arterial Reconstruction

Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in rats using a whole or partial graft is an indispensable experimental model for transplantation research, such as studies on graft preservation and ischemia-reperfusion injury 1,2, immunological responses 3,4, hemodynamics 5,6, and small-for-size syndrome 7. The rat OLT is among the most difficult animal models in experimental surgery and demands advanced microsurgical skills that take a long time to learn. Consequently, the use of this model has been limited. Since the reliability and reproducibility of results are key components of the experiments in which such complex animal models are used, it is essential for surgeons who are involved in rat OLT to be trained in well-standardized and sophisticated procedures for this model.
While various techniques and modifications of OLT in rats have been reported 8 since the first model was described by Lee et al. 9 in 1973, the elimination of the hepatic arterial reconstruction 10 and the introduction of the cuff anastomosis technique by Kamada et al. 11 were a major advancement in this model, because they simplified the reconstruction procedures to a great degree. In the model by Kamada et al., the hepatic rearterialization was also eliminated. Since rats could survive without hepatic arterial flow after liver transplantation, there was considerable controversy over the value of hepatic arterialization. However, the physiological superiority of the arterialized model has been increasingly acknowledged, especially in terms of preserving the bile duct system 8,12 and the liver integrity 8,13,14.
In this article, we present detailed surgical procedures for a rat model of OLT with hepatic arterial reconstruction using a 50% partial graft after ex vivo liver resection. The reconstruction procedures for each vessel and the bile duct are performed by the following methods: a 7-0 polypropylene continuous suture for the supra- and infrahepatic vena cava; a cuff technique for the portal vein; and a stent technique for the hepatic artery and the bile duct.

Using the Sleeve Technique in a Mouse Model of Aortic Transplantation - An Instructional Video

Orthotopic aortic transplantation using the sleeve technique reduces injury to the aorta with failure rate of only 10-20%. The time to anastomose the aorta in mice using the sleeve method was short and easy averaging 20 min, permitting studies of iso/allo grafts. The following article describes the aortic transplantation procedure used in our laboratory. The mice were anesthetized with a mixture of 1.5% volume isoflurane and 100% oxygen through a face mask. At this point, the segment of the aorta between the renal arteries and its bifurcation was separated from the vena cava, freely prepared and clampedat the proximal and distal segments with a single silk suture. Prior to the removal of the aorta, a saline solution containing heparin was injected into the inferior vena cava. Then the aorta was cut between the clamps and a saline heparin solution was used to flush the lumen. The sleeve technique with monofilament sutures was used in order to transplant the abdominal aorta in the orthotopic position.

We present an orthotopic aortic transplantation model using the sleeve technique in mice. It is a very rapid anastomosis method, which can be employed in studies of vascular disease.

A Rat Model of Orthotopic Liver Transplantation Using a Novel Magnetic Anastomosis Technique for Suprahepatic Vena Cava Reconstruction

The rat model of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is essential for transplant research. It is a very sophisticated animal model and requires a steep learning curve. The introduction of the cuff technique for anastomosis of the portal vein (PV) and infrahepatic vena cava (IHVC) has significantly simplified the transplant procedure in rats. However, due to the short anterior wall of the recipients' suprahepatic vena cava (SHVC), the cuff technique is very difficult to use for the reconstruction of the SHVC. Most researchers in this field still use the hand-suture technique for SHVC reconstruction, which makes it the bottleneck step in rat orthotopic liver transplantation. The magnetic anastomosis technique (i.e., magnamosis) is a method of connecting two vessels using the attractive force between two magnets. Our recent study has shown that the magnetic anastomosis technique is superior to the hand-suture technique for SHVC reconstruction in rats. In this article, we show a step-by-step protocol for SHVC reconstruction in rats using the novel magnetic anastomosis technique. In this model, the reconstruction of the PV and IHVC was performed by the standard cuff technique, while the reconstruction of the bile duct (BD) was performed by a stent technique. The hepatic re-arterialization was not performed. The magnetic anastomosis technique made SHVC reconstruction much easier and significantly shortened the anphepatic phase. After a reasonable learning curve, even researchers without advanced microsurgical skills can produce reliable and reproducible results using this rat model of OLT.

The reconstruction of the suprahepatic vena cava (SHVC) remains a difficult step in rat orthotopic liver transplantation. In this article, we show a step-by-step protocol for SHVC reconstruction in rats using a novel magnetic anastomosis technique.

A Pre-Clinical Porcine Model of Orthotopic Heart Transplantation

Fifty-years following the first successful report, cardiac transplantation remains the gold-standard treatment for eligible patients with advanced heart failure. Multiple small-animal models of heart transplantation have been used to study the acute and long-term effects of novel therapies. However, few are tested and demonstrated success in clinical trials. It is of critical importance to evaluate new therapies in a clinically relevant large-animal model for efficient and reliable translation of basic studies&#39;&#160;findings. Here, we describe a pre-clinical large-animal (porcine) model of orthotopic heart transplantation that has been firmly established and previously used to investigate novel cardioprotective strategies. This procedure focuses on acute ischemia-reperfusion injury and is a reliable method to investigate novel interventions which have been tested and validated in smaller experimental models, such as the murine model. We demonstrate its usefulness in assessing cardiac performance during the early post-transplantation period and other potential possibilities enabled by the model.

Reduced Complications after Arterial Reconnection in a Rat Model of Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

The rat orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) model is a powerful tool to study acute and chronic rejection. However, it is not a complete representation of human liver transplantation due to the absence of arterial reconnection. Described here is a modified transplantation procedure that includes the incorporation of hepatic artery (HA) reconnection, leading to a marked improvement in transplant outcomes. With a mean anhepatic time of 12 min and 14 s, HA reconnection results in improved perfusion of the transplanted liver and an increase in long-term recipient survival from 37.5% to 88.2%. This protocol includes the use of 3D-printed cuffs and holders to connect the portal vein and infrahepatic inferior vena cava. It can be implemented for studying multiple aspects of liver transplantation, from immune response and infection to technical aspects of the procedure. By incorporating a simple and practical method for arterial reconnection using a microvascular technique, this modified rat OLT protocol closely mimics aspects of human liver transplantation and will serve as a valuable and clinically relevant research model.

The goal of this study is to modify the rat orthotopic liver transplant model to better represent human liver transplantation and improve recipient survival. The presented method reestablishes hepatic arterial inflow by connecting the donor liver&#39;s common hepatic artery to the recipient liver&#39;s proper hepatic artery.

Orthotopic Kidney Auto-Transplantation in a Porcine Model Using 24 Hours Organ Preservation And Continuous Telemetry

In the present era of organ transplantation with critical organ shortage, various strategies are employed to expand the pool of available allografts for kidney transplantation (KT). Even though, the use of allografts from extended criteria donors (ECD) could partially ease the shortage of organ donors, ECD organs carry a potentially higher risk for inferior outcomes and postoperative complications. Dynamic organ preservation techniques, modulation of ischemia-reperfusion and preservation injury, and allograft therapies are in the spotlight of scientific interest in an effort to improve allograft utilization and patient outcomes in KT.
Preclinical animal experiments are playing an essential role in translational research, especially in the medical device and drug development. The major advantage of the porcine orthotopic auto-transplantation model over ex vivo or small animal studies lies within the surgical-anatomical and physiological similarities to the clinical setting. This allows the investigation of new therapeutic methods and techniques and ensures a facilitated clinical translation of the findings. This protocol provides a comprehensive and problem-oriented description of the porcine orthotopic kidney auto-transplantation model, using a preservation time of 24 hours and telemetry monitoring. The combination of sophisticated surgical techniques with highly standardized and state-of-the-art methods of anesthesia, animal housing, perioperative follow up, and monitoring ensure the reproducibility and success of this model.

Large animal models play an essential role in preclinical transplantation research. Due to its similarities to the clinical setup, the porcine model of orthotopic kidney auto-transplantation described in this article provides an excellent in vivo setting for the testing of organ preservation techniques and therapeutic interventions.

Left Lung Orthotopic Transplantation in a Juvenile Porcine Model for ESLP

Lung transplantation is the gold-standard treatment for end-stage lung disease, with over 4,600 lung transplantations performed worldwide annually. However, lung transplantation is limited by a shortage of available donor organs. As such, there is high waitlist mortality. Ex situ lung perfusion (ESLP) has increased donor lung utilization rates in some centers by 15%-20%. ESLP has been applied as a method to assess and recondition marginal donor lungs and has demonstrated acceptable short- and long-term outcomes following transplantation of extended criteria donor (ECD) lungs. Large animal (in vivo) transplantation models are required to validate ongoing in vitro research findings. Anatomic and physiologic differences between humans and pigs pose significant technical and anesthetic challenges. An easily reproducible transplant model would permit the&#160;in vivo&#160;validation of current ESLP strategies and the preclinical evaluation of various interventions designed to improve donor lung function. This protocol describes a porcine model of orthotopic left lung allotransplantation. This includes anesthetic and surgical techniques, a customized surgical checklist, troubleshooting, modifications, and the benefits and limitations of the approach.

This protocol describes a juvenile porcine model of orthotopic left lung allotransplantation designed for use with ESLP research. Focus is made on anesthetic and surgical techniques, as well as critical steps and troubleshooting.

Porcine Liver Transplantation Without Veno-Venous Bypass As an Extended Criteria Donor Model

Liver transplantation is regarded as the gold standard for the treatment of a variety of fatal hepatic diseases. However, unsolved issues of chronic graft failure, ongoing organ donor shortages, and the increased use of marginal grafts call for the improvement of current concepts, such as the implementation of organ machine perfusion. In order to evaluate new methods of graft reconditioning and modulation, translational models are required. With respect to anatomical and physiological similarities to humans and recent progress in the field of xenotransplantation, pigs have become the main large animal species used in transplantation models. After the initial introduction of a porcine orthotopic liver transplant model by Garnier et al. in 1965, several modifications have been published over the past 60 years.
Due to specifies-specific anatomical traits, a veno-venous bypass during the anhepatic phase is regarded as a necessity to reduce intestinal congestion and ischemia resulting in hemodynamic instability and perioperative mortality. However, the implementation of a bypass increases the technical and logistical complexity of the procedure. Furthermore, associated complications such as air embolism, hemorrhage, and the need for a simultaneous splenectomy have been reported previously.
In this protocol, we describe a model of porcine orthotopic liver transplantation without the use of a veno-venous bypass. The engraftment of donor livers after static cold storage of 20 h - simulating extended criteria donor conditions - demonstrates that this simplified approach can be performed without significant hemodynamic alterations or intraoperative mortality and with regular uptake of liver function (as defined by bile production and liver-specific CYP1A2 metabolism). The success of this approach is ensured by an optimized surgical technique and a sophisticated anesthesiologic volume and vasopressor management.
This model should be of special interest for workgroups focusing on the immediate postoperative course, ischemia-reperfusion injury, associated immunological mechanisms, and the reconditioning of extended criteria donor organs.

In this protocol, a model of porcine orthotopic liver transplantation after static cold storage of donor organs for 20 h without the use of a veno-venous bypass during engraftment is described. The approach uses a simplified surgical technique with minimization of the anhepatic phase and sophisticated volume and vasopressor management.

A Three-Dimensional Digital Model for Early Diagnosis of Hepatic Fibrosis Based on Magnetic Resonance Elastography

Hepatic fibrosis is an early stage of liver cirrhosis, and there are no better non-invasive and convenient methods for the detection and evaluation of the disease. Despite the good progress made with the liver stiffness map (LSM) based on magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), there are still some limitations that need to be overcome, including manual focus determination, manual selection of regions of interest (ROIs), and discontinuous LSM data without structural information, which makes it impossible to evaluate the liver as a whole. In this study, we propose a novel three-dimensional (3D) digital model for the early diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis based on MRE.
MRE is a non-invasive imaging technique that employs magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure the liver stiffness at the scanning site through human-computer interaction. Studies have indicated a significant positive correlation between the LSM obtained through MRE and the degree of hepatic fibrosis. However, for clinical purposes, a comprehensive and precise quantification of the degree of hepatic fibrosis is necessary. To address this, the concept of Liver Stiffness Distribution (LSD) was proposed in this study, which refers to the 3D stiffness volume of each liver voxel obtained by the alignment of 3D liver tissue images and MRE indicators. This provides a more effective clinical tool for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic fibrosis.
