چکیده
c m s d x p El trasplante de órgano sólido es hoy en día un tratamiento consolidado frente a múltiples enfermedades. El trasplante de pulmón es en muchos casos una terapia salvadora y, en ocasiones, de rescate dado que es el único tratamiento posible en la insuficiencia respiratoria terminal. De entre los diferentes órganos sólidos que se trasplantan, el pulmón es uno de los menos habituales por su extrema fragilidad. La ventilación mecánica, potencialmente lesiva para el pulmón, aunque imprescindible durante el período que el paciente permanece ingresado hasta llegar a la situación de muerte encefálica, y el riesgo de infección asociada a la misma tienen efectos deletéreos sobre los pulmones potencialmente trasplantables. En 2010 hubo en España 1.502 donantes de órganos, de los que solo 323 (21,5%) fueron potenciales donantes de pulmón, y de estos solo 201 fueron donantes que alcanzaron la fase de trasplante (13,3% del total de donantes de ese año)1. La situación de carencia de órganos válidos para el trasplante, así como la consolidación de esta terapia como una solución válida para estos pacientes ha hecho necesario que se exploren nuevas alternativas entre los denominados donantes marginales o con criterios expandidos. La obtención de órganos de donantes tras la muerte cardiaca o donantes a corazón parado2, así como la obtención de pulmones de donantes añosos son actualmente alternativas exploradas y que ofrecen excelentes resultados.

P-78: Role of Allopurinol, as An Antioxidant Factor, in Increasing The Number of Received Oocytes and Embryos, and Reduce Apoptosis after Heterotopic Transplantation Mouse Ovarian Tissue
Background: Ischemia and reperfusion after transplantation is the main problem which decreases follicular density in the grafted ovarian. Many sources of free radicals such as xanthine oxidase were generated during ischemia. In this study, we used allopurinol as xanthine oxidase inhibitor to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, to increase received oocytes and embryos, and to decrease Apoptosis ...
متن کاملTransient Natural Convection Flow on an Isothermal Vertical Wall at High Prandtl Numbers: Second-Order Approximation
The method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been used in previous studies of steady natural convection flow, is extended here to transient natural convection flow at high Prandtl number (Pr). Second-order expansion solutions, valid for large Prandtl numbers, are presented for the transient natural convection flow near a vertical surface which undergoes a step change in temperature. T...
متن کاملHow to Recondition Ex Vivo Initially Rejected Donor Lungs for Clinical Transplantation: Clinical Experience from Lund University Hospital
A major problem in clinical lung transplantation is the shortage of donor lungs. Only about 20% of donor lungs are accepted for transplantation. We have recently reported the results of the first six double lung transplantations performed with donor lungs reconditioned ex vivo that had been deemed unsuitable for transplantation by the Scandiatransplant, Eurotransplant, and UK Transplant organiz...

متن کاملEstimation of Photon Specific Absorbed Fractions in Digimouse Voxel Phantom using Monte Carlo Simulation Code FLUKA
Background: Most preclinical studies are carried out on mice. For internal dose assessment of a mouse, specific absorbed fraction (SAF) values play an important role. In most studies, SAF values are estimated using older standard human organ compositions and values for limited source target pairs.Objective: SAF values for monoenergetic photons of energies 15, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 4000 keV...
