Abstract
In organ transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) has been implicated in delayed graft function (DGF) as well as in short- and long-term complications. Using an autotransplant pig kidney model, changes in renal function and morphology were determined after different periods of cold ischemia in kidneys preserved in the University of Wisconsin solution (UW), high-Na(+) version of UW (HEH) or Celsior (CEL) a newly developed high-Na(+) solution, with or without trimetazidine (TMZ). Kidney function was better preserved in CEL, UW and particularly HEH in combination with TMZ, particularly after 48 and 72 h. Mitochondria integrity was improved in TMZ-preserved groups. This study indicates that TMZ is efficiently protective against IRI even after prolonged preservation and in different preservation solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis is rare in the immunocompetent patient. Few cases have been published except for in a specific geographic area (Sudan, India). METHODS AND RESULTS We reported two new cases of chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis due to Aspergillus, which was successfully treated, to analyze the different clinical, radiological, and mycological criteria. CONCLUSION Through these two new clinical cases and the analysis of the literature, we suggested, in the absence of general agreement on the surgical and medical management, the current strategies available for this rare pathology. New antifungal drugs seem to be an efficient alternative to classic antifungal agents, especially those that require an extended course of oral therapy for the chronic invasive form.

Abstract
Tubulointerstitial nephritis is the most common renal complication in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). It is usually associated with symptoms of distal tubular dysfunction, type I (distal) renal tubular acidosis (RTA) and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Proximal tubular abnormalities are considered to be less frequent, and Fanconi's syndrome has been only exceptionally reported in patients with SS. We describe 2 patients with primary SS, characterized by xerostomia, dry eyes, extensive lymphocytic infiltrate on salivary gland biopsy, positive tests for anti-SSA/SSB antibodies and/or antinuclear antibodies, who presented in renal failure with proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and type I RTA. Further studies revealed proximal tubular dysfunction, including renal glucosuria, generalized aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, uricosuria, together with proximal (type II) RTA in 1 case. Neither of these patients had Bence Jones proteinuria or monoclonal gammopathy. Kidney biopsy showed focal proximal tubulitis, associated with proximal tubular cell atrophy and dedifferentiation, and diffuse interstitial nephritis with fibrosis. No significant glomerular or peritubular deposits of immunoglobulin light or heavy chain were observed. These findings demonstrate that diffuse, distal and proximal, tubular dysfunction may occur in patients with SS and interstitial nephritis. Lymphocytic infiltration of proximal tubular cells is probably involved in the pathogenesis of Fanconi's syndrome in SS. However, the mechanisms involved in the alteration of sodium-dependent apical transports remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The renal medulla is particularly sensitive to oxidant stress and to ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). In organ transplantation, delayed graft function is an important problem and cold ischaemia is thought to be the most important factor in short- and long-term complications. Our aim was to study cold-induced damage in proximal tubular segments and renal medulla osmolite excretion during use of various preservation solutions, and to clarify the role of trimetazidine (TMZ) in limiting renal dysfunction. METHODS Using an autotransplanted pig kidney model, we assessed renal tubule function, medullary osmolite excretion and renal damage between day 1 and week 2 after 24 or 48 h cold storage in University of Wisconsin solution (UW), Celsior and ECPEG (two new high Na(+) preservation solutions) or the Hopital Edouard Herriot solution (HEH; a high Na(+) version of UW). In additional groups, TMZ was added to these preservation solutions for 24 and 48 h cold storage. RESULTS Renal function was reduced under these preservation conditions. Tubular injury was associated with aminoaciduria and with a limited Na(+) reabsorbtion. Medullary damage led to the early appearance of trimethylamine-N-oxide and dimethylamine in urine. However, renal damage was modulated by preservation conditions. In addition, TMZ added to each of the solutions efficiently protected against IRI even after prolonged preservation. CONCLUSION TMZ efficiently protected kidneys against damage when added to the HEH and particularly ECPEG solutions, even after 24 h cold storage. These findings point to a role for drugs that target mitochondria, and demonstrate that TMZ may provide a valuable therapeutic tool against IRI and could be included in therapeutic protocols.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents an allo-independent risk factor which favors chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). Here we analyzed the influence of preservation solutions on the function of autotransplanted pig kidneys over 1-16 weeks after surgery. Kidneys were cold-flushed and cold-stored for 24 or 48 h either in University of Wisconsin (UW), modified-UW Hôpital Edouard Herriot, polyethylene glycol 20 kDa (PEG)-supplemented preservation solutions with low K+ (ECPEG) or high K+ (ICPEG) content. Animals autotransplanted with kidneys cold-stored for 24 h in ECPEG exhibited the greatest levels of creatinine clearance (Ccr: 161 +/- 12 mL/min, n=10) and the lowest levels of proteinuria (0.5 +/- 0.03 mg/mL) 16 weeks after surgery as compared with pigs autotransplanted with kidneys cold-stored in the other solutions tested (Ccr ranging from 80 and 140 mL/min). Similar differences, but with lower Ccr levels, were achieved after a prolonged period of cold-storage(48 h). ECPEG better preserved the kidneys from monocytes/macrophages and CD4+ T cells infiltrations, VCAM-1 and MHC class II overexpressions and occurrence of renal interstitial fibrosis (2%) as compared with the other preservation solutions (5%-20%). Adding the anti-ischemic drug trimetazidine (TMZ) to the preservation solutions, particularly ECPEG, further improved the quality of the week-16 post-transplanted kidneys (Ccr: 182 +/- 12 mL/min, n=10). These findings demonstrated that adding PEG to extracellular-like (with low K+ content) preservation solutions in combination with TMZ significantly improved the long-term outcome of kidney grafts in this model of autotransplanted pig kidney.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with an increased risk of acute rejection, delayed graft function, or chronic graft dysfunction. Mitochondria plays a central role in this process. Using an autotransplant pig kidney model, changes in renal function and morphology were determined after different periods of cold ischemia in kidneys preserved in the University of Wisconsin solution (UW), high-Na(+) version of UW (HEH) or Celsior (CEL) a newly developed high-Na(+) solution, with or without trimetazidine (TMZ). Kidney function was better preserved in HEH after 24 hr and particularly 48- and 72-hr cold storage than in CEL and UW. TMZ improved the preservation quality when added to the different solutions tested, particularly after 48- and 72-hr cold storage. Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy were reduced in HEH with TMZ. CD4(+) T-cell infiltration was also modulated by the preservation conditions. Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) positive cells infiltration was also modulated by preservation conditions. TMZ was efficient to reduce IRI when added in the various preservation solutions. These results suggest that protection of the mitochondrial function should be a major target to limit IRI. In addition, this study outlines the role of CD4(+) T cells and PBR expression in inflammatory responses after IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury is associated with an increased risk of acute rejection, delayed graft function, or chronic graft dysfunction. Mitochondria play a central role in this process. METHODS Using an autotransplantation pig kidney model, both early (40 min and 7 days) and late (2-16 weeks) changes in renal function and morphology were determined after different periods of cold ischemia in University of Wisconsin or Euro-Collins solutions. We have also investigated the expression of the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), which is also critical in maintaining outer mitochondrial membrane stability. RESULTS Function of the kidneys was better preserved after 1 hr and 24 hr than after 48 hr and 72 hr in Euro-Collins and University of Wisconsin solutions. Medulla injury was reduced in 1 hr-preserved and 24 hr-preserved groups. PBR was found to be present in epithelial cells of the deep cortical and outer medulla in both normal human and well-preserved pig kidneys. PBR expression was modulated by ischemia-reperfusion injury and the concurrent tubular injury and repair processes. CONCLUSION This study indicates that PBR expression correlates with the quality of kidney preservation and might serve as an index of kidney and mitochondria viability. Moreover, these data suggest that PBR might be involved in membrane biogenesis during reperfusion. In addition, considering the identical localization of PBR in human and pig kidneys, these findings could have a direct application in human clinical settings of kidney pathology.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after transplantation is a major cause of delayed graft function, which has a negative impact on early and late graft function and improve acute rejection. We have previously shown that polyethylene glycol (PEG) and particularly PEG 20M has a protective effect against cold ischemia and reperfusion injury in an isolated perfused pig and rat kidney model. We extended those observations to investigate the role of PEG using different doses (30g or 50g/l) added (ICPEG30 or ICPEG50) or not (IC) to a simplified preservation solution to reduce IRI after prolonged cold storage (48-h) of pig kidneys when compared with Euro-Collins and University of Wisconsin solutions. The study of renal function and medulla injury was performed with biochemical methods and proton NMR spectroscopy. Histological and inflammatory cell studies were performed after reperfusion (30-40 min) and on days 7 and 14 and weeks 4, 8, and 12. Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), a mitochondrial protein involved in cholesterol homeostasis, was also studied. The results demonstrated that ICPEG30 improved renal function and reduced medulla injury. ICPEG30 also improved tubular function and strongly protect mitochondrial integrity. Post-IRI inflammation was strongly reduced in this group, particularly lymphocytes TCD4(+), PBR expression was influenced by IRI in the early period and during the development of chronic dysfunction. This study clearly shows that PEG has a beneficial effect in renal preservation and suggests a role of PBR as a marker IRI and repair processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The conditions of storage of donor kidney may influence the deleterious consequences of ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) on delayed graft function. Since polyethylene glycol (PEG) can protect renal tubule cells against cold injury, we tested the effects of adding PEG 20 kD to ice-cold preservation solutions on the IRI of autotransplanted pig kidneys. METHODS The pigs' left kidneys were removed, cold-flushed with University of Wisconsin (UW) or simplified high K+ or high Na+ solutions with or without 30 g/L PEG 20M and stored for 48 hours at 4 degrees C. The kidneys were then autotransplanted and the contralateral kidneys were removed. Kidney biopsies were then performed and renal function parameters were analyzed over 8 to 12 weeks following surgery. RESULTS The kidneys cold-flushed with PEG-supplemented solutions on day 7 post-transplantation were better preserved and exhibited less marked nuclear tubular cell damage than the kidneys cold-flushed with the UW solution alone. PEG also almost completely inhibited the overexpression of major histocompatibility complex class II that was detected in epithelial tubule cells from kidneys cold-flushed with the UW solution. PEG also significantly reduced the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes and limited the infiltration of macrophages/monocytes and the progression of interstitial fibrosis in the 8- to 12-week post-transplanted kidneys. Moreover, pigs autotransplanted with kidneys flushed with PEG-supplemented solutions had the best renal function and the lowest levels of proteinuria. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that PEG inhibits the early inflammatory response due to IRI, improves renal function, and may prevent the progression of interstitial fibrosis in the long-term autotransplanted pig kidney.

Abstract
The consequences of ischaemia-reperfusion injury from kidney recipients on delayed graft function and graft survival still remain a matter of debate. Using an autotransplanted pig kidney model, the influence of trimetazidine added to two standard preservation solutions (Euro-Collins and University of Wisconsin) was studied. The renal parameters were analysed over a period of 12 weeks after transplantation. The degree of interstitial fibrosis, and the number of CD4, CD8 and macrophage positive cells were analysed at 2, 4-5 and 11-12 weeks after the transplantation. Glomerular filtration and sodium reabsorption were significantly more improved after cold-flush and preservation with trimetazidine-supplemented solutions than with trimetazidine-free solutions. The cytoprotective action of trimetazidine also reduced interstitial fibrosis and the number of infiltrating CD4 and CD8-positive cells. These results indicate that the condition of cold preservation may influence long-term kidney graft functions and that trimetazidine reduces to a certain extent the degree of interstitial fibrosis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an intracellular solution with polyethylene glycol (PEG, molecular weight 20,000) as an impermeant, compared with University of Wisconsin (UW) and Euro-Collins (EC) solutions, after a 48-h cold storage (CS). The normothermic isolated perfused rat kidney (IPK) technique was used to assess renal function after CS. Five groups were studied: a control group (immediately reperfused, n = 10); one that received EC (n = 16); one that received UW (n = 16); and two that each received an intracellular (IC) solution, one with PEG (ICPEG, n = 16) and one without PEG (IC, n = 16). The perfusion flow rate was significantly greater in the PEG group and correlated with less significant cellular and interstitial edema and lower renal vascular resistance than in the IC, EC, and UW groups. Glomerular filtration rate was significantly higher in the PEG group during reperfusion than in the IC, EC, and UW groups. Proximal tubular functions were more efficient with PEG: fractional sodium reabsorption and total sodium reabsorption were significantly greater during reperfusion in the PEG group than in the IC, EC, and UW groups. Of greater interest is the protective effect of PEG on lipid peroxidation, which reflects ischemia/reperfusion damage. The second major effect is the dramatic ATP restoration during reperfusion, which outlines the preservation of oxidative phosphorylation after preservation by ICPEG. These results are supported by histological studies, particularly concerning brush border and mitochondrial preservation. Our results indicate that PEG is promising for cold ischemia and reperfusion injury protection.

Abstract
Myxoma is a benign tumour but which has redoubtable embolic complications. When situated in the left atrium, the emboli obstruct, in the majority of cases, the cerebral arteries, occasionally the visceral or coronary arteries, and, very rarely, the aorta. In this case, the authors report an atypical presentation with ischaemia of the lower half of the body, associated with pulmonary oedema and deep coma. The left atrial myxoma was responsible for complete and simultaneous obstruction of the internal carotid arteries and the infra-renal abdominal aorta. This report illustrates the fact that myxoma can be responsible for massive, life-threatening, embolisation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is often responsible for graft rejection and leads to delayed graft function of cadaveric kidneys. We have shown that adding polyethylene glycol (PEG 20M) to the preservation solutions helps protect isolated perfused pig kidneys against cold ischemia and reperfusion injury. METHODS We compared the effects of adding PEG to a simplified high-K+ perfusion solution of cold-stored kidneys to Euro-Collins or University of Wisconsin solutions on the function of reperfused autotransplanted pig kidneys. The left kidney was cold-flushed with the preservation solutions and stored for 48 hr at 4 degrees C before reimplantation. Creatinine clearance and fractional excretion of sodium were analyzed 2 days before surgery and over 7 days after transplantation. Histological sections were obtained 40 min after reperfusion and on day 7 after surgery. RESULTS Adding PEG to the perfusate significantly reduced IRI from autotransplanted pig kidneys. Creatinine clearance was significantly higher and fractional excretion of sodium was significantly lower in pigs transplanted with kidneys cold-flushed with PEG-supplemented perfusate than in those flushed with Euro-Collins or University of Wisconsin solutions. PEG supplementation also better preserved the integrity of kidney cells and markedly reduced interstitial cell infiltrates. CONCLUSION PEG protects against IRI and reduces early cellular inflammation. PEG may impair the recruitment and migration of leukocytes into retransplanted pig kidneys. Cold preservation of donor organs with PEG-supplemented solutions may therefore help limit IRI in human renal transplantation.

Abstract
Injury during the transplant process affects the alloantigen-dependent factors and the alloantigen-independent processes of "chronic" rejection. Consequently, the determination of reliable parameters for the assessment of ischemic damage is essential for the prediction of renal changes after ischemia/reperfusion injury. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of (1)H NMR spectroscopy to predict the early graft dysfunction in an ischemia/reperfusion model after preservation in two standard preservation solutions, Euro-Collins (EC) and University of Wisconsin (UW). The second aim was to specify the role of the UW solution in preventing renal medullary injury. Urine and plasma samples from three experimental groups were examined during 2 weeks: control group (n = 5), EC group (cold flushed and 48-h cold storage of kidney in EC and autotransplantation, n = 12), and UW group (cold flushed and 48-h cold storage of kidney in UW and autotransplantation; n = 12). We also examined these kidneys 30-40 min after implantation and on the sacrifice day. Creatinine clearance was significantly reduced in the EC group during the second week. Fractional excretion of sodium and urine N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase activity were improved but not significantly different in the preserved groups. Urinary concentrations of the alpha-class glutathione S-transferase were significantly greater in the EC group during the first week after transplantation. The most relevant resonances for evaluating renal function after transplantation determined by (1)H NMR spectroscopy were those arising from citrate, dimethylamine (DMA), lactate, and acetate in urine and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) in urine and plasma. These findings suggest that graft dysfunction is associated with damage to the renal medulla determined by TMAO release in urine and plasma associated with DMA and acetate excretion. Citrate is also a urinary marker that can discriminate kidneys with a favorable evolution. Our results suggest that (1)H NMR spectroscopy is an efficient technique for detecting ischemic damage when accurate and precise data on graft injury is required. In addition, this study outlines the specific impact of the UW solution against injury to the renal medulla.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The consequences of ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) on delayed graft function (DGF) and graft survival for kidney recipients remain a matter of debate. Several strategies have been proposed to reduce IRI. We have shown that adding the anti-ischemic drug trimetazidine (TMZ) to different preservation solutions had beneficial effects on the function of reperfused rat and pig kidneys. METHODS We analyzed the renal parameters of reperfused, autotransplanted large pigs following transplantation. The left kidneys were first removed and cold flushed with Euro-Collins (EC) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions (with or without 10-6 mol/L TMZ) and were stored for 48 hours at 4 degrees C. The kidney was then autotransplanted, and the contralateral kidneys were removed. Creatinine clearance, natriuresis, proteinuria, the degree of interstitial fibrosis, the number of CD4, CD8, and macrophage-positive cells, and the amount of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were analyzed on kidney biopsies taken at 2, 4 to 5, and 10 to 12 weeks after surgery. RESULTS The functions of the transplanted kidneys were better preserved after cold flushing with TMZ-supplemented solutions than with TMZ-free solutions. Creatinine clearance was higher, and proteinuria was lower in animals transplanted with kidneys cold flushed with TMZ-supplemented solutions than with TMZ-free solutions. The cytoprotective action of TMZ also reduced interstitial fibrosis and the numbers of infiltrating CD4- and CD8-positive cells. CONCLUSION These results indicate that the condition of cold preservation may influence long-term kidney graft functions and suggest that, to a certain extent, TMZ reduces the degree of interstitial fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant melanoma are uncommon in children and are sometimes difficult to distinguish from Spitz nevi. Histological diagnosis is particularly difficult. CASE REPORT Three prepuberty children (aged 14, 10 and 14 years) underwent excision of suspicious nevi found at pathology examination to be malignant melanomas. After complementary treatment the recurrence-free survival has been 18, 14 and 4 years respectively. DISCUSSION Clinical signs of malignant melanomas are unspecific. As in adults, any modification in a melanic lesion should led to excision and pathology examination. In the literature, there is often a confusion between malignant melanoma developing in children and young adults making it difficult to determine the prognosis of the childhood disease. Prognosis of cutaneous malignant melanomas is generally good (excluding giant nevi and congenital malignant melanoma).

Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease with many localizations. Thyroid involvement has been often described but rarely confirmed histologically. A common immune mechanism appears to be the cause. Thyroid sarcoidosis should be envisaged in patients with a thyroid nodule and mediastino-pulmonary involvement. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with no past history who was hospitalized for dyspnea. Explorations evidenced a cold thyroid nodule associated with diffuse interstitial lung disease and mediastinal node enlargement. Pathology examination disclosed the sarcoid nature of the thyroid nodule and the lung lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used as a non-invasive tool to measure renal damage. In the present investigation, proton NMR spectroscopy of urine was assessed in order to detect cellular damage after different periods of cold ischaemia in two standard preservation solutions. METHODS The isolated perfused pig kidney was used to assess initial renal function after in situ cold flush and cold storage (CS) for 24 or 48 h in two standard preservation solutions: EuroCollins (EC) and University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions. Kidneys flushed with cold heparinized saline and immediately perfused were used as a control group. Kidneys were perfused for 2 h at 37.5 degrees C for functional evaluation. During reperfusion, renal perfusion flow rate was measured. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular reabsorption of sodium ions, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion were determined. Impairment caused by ischaemia and reperfusion was also determined by histological techniques and proton NMR spectroscopy. RESULTS The perfusion flow rate, GFR and tubular reabsorption of sodium were significantly decreased in experimental groups compared with the control group. There was no significant difference between experimental groups after 24 h of CS. The perfusion flow rate was significantly decreased in the EC group after 48 h of cold ischaemia compared with that in the UW group. After 48 h of CS, GFR and tubular reabsorption of sodium were significantly reduced in the EC group compared with those in the UW group. The release of LDH into the effluent and the urinary excretion of NAG were not significantly different after 24 h of CS. After more than 45 and 60 min of reperfusion respectively, LDH and NAG excretion was no different in the 48-h CS groups. The most relevant resonances determined by proton NMR spectroscopy were of citrate, trimethylamine-N-oxide, lactate, acetate and amino acids. Excretion of these markers was significantly more accurate and efficient to assess renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury than that of biochemical markers. A resonance (P) detected particularly in the EC group after 48 h of CS was identified and correlated well with renal dysfunction. After CS for 48 h and 2 h of reperfusion, renal injury was histologically more pronounced in EC groups than in UW groups. However, the difference was not significant after CS for 24 h. CONCLUSION NMR spectroscopy, which is a non-invasive and non-destructive technique, is more accurate and efficient when assessing kidney damage after cold ischaemia and reperfusion when compared to conventional histological and biochemical analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prognostic value of prostatic stromal inflammation in surgically treated localized prostate carcinoma for biochemical recurrence-free survival. METHODS Stromal prostatic inflammation grading was studied in 161 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer without involvement of the lymph nodes and who did not receive preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy or hormonal therapy until recurrence occurred. Inflammation was graded as high-grade inflammation if confluence of inflammatory cell infiltrate and/or glandular epithelium disruption associated with interstitial inflammatory infiltrate were present and as low-grade inflammation otherwise. Each specimen was graded separately first in the stroma surrounding nonmalignant glands and second in the stroma surrounding malignant glands. Biochemical recurrence based on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was defined as two successive PSA measurements greater than 1 ng/mL. RESULTS Malignant tissue was significantly less involved in high-grade inflammation than benign adjacent tissue (9.3% and 19.9%, respectively; P <0.01). In a univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate for patients with high-grade and low-grade classified prostates was 61.0% and 66.7% in benign tissue and 27.0% and 65.3% in malignant tissue, respectively, with a significant difference between grades only in malignant tissue (P <0.02). In a multivariate analysis controlling for Gleason grade, preoperative serum PSA, pathologic stage, and inflammation grade in malignant tissue, the latter factor remained significantly predictive of biochemical recurrence (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Patients with high-grade inflammation surrounding malignant glands in radical prostatectomy specimens had significantly more postoperative biochemical recurrence than patients with low-grade inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Initial ischemia-reperfusion injury is associated with organ retrieval, storage, and transplantation adversely affects early graft function and influences the development of chronic graft dysfunction. We have recently shown that the protective agent trimetazidine (TMZ) added to preservation solutions: Euro-collins (EC) and University of Wisconsin (UW) was efficient to protect kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion injury in an isolated perfused kidney model. We extended these observations to investigate the role of this drug in the development and progression of organ dysfunction in the autotransplant pig kidney model. METHODS Five experimental groups were studied. After 48-hr cold preservation, autotransplantation and immediate controlateral nephrectomy was then performed in group EC (EC+placebo (n=8), EC+TMZ (n=8), UW+placebo (n=7), and (UW+TMZ) (n=7) and compared with control group (uninephrectomized, n=4) during 14 days. Blood and urine samples were collected for the measurement of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 14. Histological analysis was performed after reperfusion and at day 14. RESULTS Survivals were 100% in group B and D versus 42% in group A and 57% in group C. Urine production occurred earlier after autotransplantation from TMZ preserved kidneys than in placebo preserved groups. Peak creat and blood urea nitrogen was significantly greater in groups B and D than in groups A and C. TMZ was also efficient both to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury and to decrease cellular infiltration. CONCLUSION These results support the beneficial effect of TMZ against ischemia-reperfusion injury and its early effects on grafts in the form of delayed graft function and decreased graft survival. In addition, TMZ reduces inflammatory cellular infiltration in the renal parenchyma.
