Abstract
Kidney surgery often includes organ ischaemia with a risk of acute kidney injury. The present study tested if treatment with the combined angiotensin II-angiotensin II receptor type 1 and neprilysin blocker Entresto (LCZ696, sacubitril/valsartan) protects filtration barrier and kidney function after ischaemia and partial nephrectomy (PN) in pigs. Single kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by technetium-99m diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate clearance was validated (n = 6). Next, four groups of pigs were followed for 15 days (n = 24) after PN (one-third right kidney, 60 min ischaemia) + Entresto (49/51 mg/day; n = 8), PN + vehicle (n = 8), sham + Entresto (49/51 mg/day; n = 4) and sham + vehicle (n = 4). GFR, diuresis and urinary albumin were measured at baseline and from each kidney after 15 days. The sum of single-kidney GFR (right 25 ± 6 mL/min, left 31 ± 7 mL/min) accounted for the total GFR (56 ± 14 mL/min). Entresto had no effect on baseline blood pressure, p-creatinine, mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), heart rate and diuresis. After 15 days, Entresto increased GFR in the uninjured kidney (+23 ± 6 mL/min, P < .05) and reduced albuminuria from both kidneys. In the sham group, plasma MR-proANP was not altered by Entresto; it increased to similar levels 2 h after surgery with and without Entresto. Fractional sodium excretion increased with Entresto. Kidney histology and kidney injury molecule-1 in cortex tissue were not different. In conclusion, Entresto protects the filtration barrier and increases the functional adaptive response of the uninjured kidney.

Abstract
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) offers a unique opportunity to objectively assess donor organ quality. This study describes the evaluation of inulin clearance as a potential marker for the ex vivo function of porcine kidneys during NMP. The function assessment was performed in both kidneys from slaughterhouse pigs (n = 20) and kidneys from pigs in a laboratory setting (n = 28). The kidneys were exposed to different warm ischemia times (WIT). After a period of static cold storage, the kidneys underwent a 4-hour NMP with autologous whole blood. Inulin clearance, hemodynamic parameters, and urine output were measured. Based on the inulin excretion behavior laboratory pig kidneys were assigned to three classes (functional, limited functional, and nonfunctional), slaughterhouse pig kidneys to two classes (limited functional and nonfunctional), respectively. Contrary to the marginal kidneys of the slaughterhouse pigs, the functional variation of kidneys of the laboratory pigs was associated with the WIT. A correlation between functional kidneys and a WIT less than 25 min was shown. Because none of the slaughterhouse pig kidneys could be assigned to the functional class, only the laboratory pig kidneys were used for examinations with functional markers. Renal blood flow and urine output during NMP correlated significantly (p < 0.01) with ex vivo kidney function. This study demonstrated that inulin is a marker of high quality for the evaluation of suggested kidney function after NMP with whole blood. Furthermore, surrogate markers measured during NMP can be used to describe and predict the physiologic behavior of kidneys before transplantation.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to study morphological and renal structural changes in relation to different ischemic times and types of renal vascular pedicle clamping. Methods Sixteen pigs were divided into two groups (n = 8): Group AV - unilateral clamping of the renal artery and vein and Group A - unilateral clamping of the renal artery only, both with the contralateral kidney used as control. Serial biopsies were performed at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 minutes after clamping. Results there is a correlation between the occurrence of renal damage as a function of time (p <0.001), with a higher frequency of Group A lesions for cellular alterations (vascular congestion and edema, interstitial inflammatory infiltrate, interstitial hemorrhage and cell degeneration), with the exception of in the formation of pigmented cylinders that were evidenced only in the AV Group. Conclusion the number of lesions derived from ischemia is associated with the duration of the insult, there is a significant difference between the types of clamping, and the AV Group presented a lower frequency of injuries than Group A. The safety time found for Group A was 10 minutes and for Group AV 20 minutes.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been recently reported to play a variety of vital roles in organ and tissue damage repair, mainly via potent paracrine activity, including secreting extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, that serve as mediators facilitating intercellular communication and reprogramming recipient cells by delivering their contents to target cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are diverse and complex, and the influencing characteristics have rarely been studied. Accordingly, we designed this study to explore the time dependence of the effects of exosomes derived from BMSCs (BMexos) on renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanisms associated with the reperfusion time. Impressively, our study is the first to find that BMexos protected against renal I/R injury in vitro and in vivo at the very early reperfusion stages, especially 4-8 h after reperfusion in vitro and 8-16 h after reperfusion in vivo. Interestingly, we simultaneously found that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was significantly suppressed following the administration of BMexos in vitro and in vivo with a similar time dependence. Additionally, we discovered that miR-199a-5p, which was abundant in the BMSCs, was transferred into renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) in a time-dependent manner and significantly inhibited I/R-induced ER stress by targeting binding immunoglobulin protein (BIP). Cocultivation with miR-199a-5p-overexpressing BMSCs amplified the suppression of ER stress and further protected against I/R injury. However, coculture with miR-199a-5p-knockdown BMSCs obviously increased ER stress and reversed the BMexos-induced protection, and silencing BIP by small interfering RNA-1098 in NRK-52E inhibited these effects. This study provides evidence that administering BMexos at the very early reperfusion stages significantly protects against renal I/R injury, and ER stress is closely linked to this protection. These results suggest a novel therapeutic strategy during the very early reperfusion stages of renal I/R injury.-Wang, C., Zhu, G., He, W., Yin, H., Lin, F., Gou, X., Li, X. BMSCs protect against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by secreting exosomes loaded with miR-199a-5p that target BIP to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress at the very early reperfusion stages.

Abstract
Ischemic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, are the most common causes of debilitating disease and death in westernized cultures. The extent of tissue injury relates directly to the extent of blood flow reduction and to the length of the ischemic period, which influence the levels to which cellular ATP and intracellular pH are reduced. By impairing ATPase-dependent ion transport, ischemia causes intracellular and mitochondrial calcium levels to increase (calcium overload). Cell volume regulatory mechanisms are also disrupted by the lack of ATP, which can induce lysis of organelle and plasma membranes. Reperfusion, although required to salvage oxygen-starved tissues, produces paradoxical tissue responses that fuel the production of reactive oxygen species (oxygen paradox), sequestration of proinflammatory immunocytes in ischemic tissues, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and development of postischemic capillary no-reflow, which amplify tissue injury. These pathologic events culminate in opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores as a common end-effector of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced cell lysis and death. Emerging concepts include the influence of the intestinal microbiome, fetal programming, epigenetic changes, and microparticles in the pathogenesis of I/R. The overall goal of this review is to describe these and other mechanisms that contribute to I/R injury. Because so many different deleterious events participate in I/R, it is clear that therapeutic approaches will be effective only when multiple pathologic processes are targeted. In addition, the translational significance of I/R research will be enhanced by much wider use of animal models that incorporate the complicating effects of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2015; 48:262-71.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated Tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (HMDP) scintigraphy findings in renal tumor patients from the perspective of postoperative renal dysfunction following nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). METHODS Forty-three renal tumor patients (M:F = 28:15, age 53.9 ± 12.5 years) who had undergone Tc-99m HMDP scintigraphy after NSS were enrolled. The patients were divided into HMDP(+) or HMDP(-) groups by visual assessment, and the asymmetric index (ASI) was calculated using a region-of-interest analysis. In 16 patients, the total and split glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was assessed using Tc-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) scintigraphy at baseline and at 3 and 6 months post-NSS. RESULTS High Tc-99m HMDP uptake was observed in the operated kidneys, but this did not persist later than 7 days post-NSS. Split GFR of the operated kidneys at baseline (58.5 ± 9.3 ml/min) was significantly reduced at 6 months post-NSS (40.1 ± 5.9 ml/min, p < 0.001) in only those who showed intense uptake of Tc-99m HMDP. Declines in both total GFR (p = 0.010 and p = 0.002 for 3 and 6 months, respectively) and split GFR of the operated kidneys (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001 for 3 and 6 months, respectively) were clearly evidenced at 3 and 6 months post-NSS only in patients with high Tc-99m HMDP in the operated kidneys. The ASI was negatively correlated with %change in the split GFR of these operated kidneys at 6 months post-NSS (rho =-0.578, p = 0.0304). CONCLUSIONS Tc-99m HMDP uptake within 1 week following NSS is a surrogate marker of GFR impairment over 6 months post-NSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Milrinone increases intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate concentration and enhances vascular relaxation. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) plays a key role in inflammatory responses during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We aimed to investigate the effect of milrinone on the inflammatory responses and NF-kB activation in renal I/R injury in mice. METHODS Thirty C57BL/6 mice were allocated into 3 groups. In group S (n = 10), only right nephrectomy was done. In group C (n = 10), the left kidney was subjected to 30 min of ischemia after right nephrectomy. In group M (n = 10), milrinone (5 µg/kg) was administered before ischemia. After 24 hours of reperfusion, the serum creatinine was measured, kidney samples were obtained for histology, and expressions of NF-kB and proinflammatory cytokines were analyzed. RESULTS In group C, the serum creatinine concentration was markedly elevated, compared with group S. Creatinine concentration in group M was also elevated, but it was significantly lower than that in group C. Histologic evidence of renal damage was severe in group C, but it was improved in group M. In groups C and M, expression of NF-kB, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) mRNA increased significantly compared with group S (P < 0.05). But group M showed a lower expression of NF-kB, TNF-α, ICAM-1, MCP-1 and MIP-2 mRNA than group C (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Milrinone treatment attenuates the renal inflammatory response and activation of NF-kB, resulting in improvement of renal function and tissue injury.

Abstract
Disorders characterized by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, continue to be among the most frequent causes of debilitating disease and death. Tissue injury and/or death occur as a result of the initial ischemic insult, which is determined primarily by the magnitude and duration of the interruption in the blood supply, and then subsequent damage induced by reperfusion. During prolonged ischemia, ATP levels and intracellular pH decrease as a result of anaerobic metabolism and lactate accumulation. As a consequence, ATPase-dependent ion transport mechanisms become dysfunctional, contributing to increased intracellular and mitochondrial calcium levels (calcium overload), cell swelling and rupture, and cell death by necrotic, necroptotic, apoptotic, and autophagic mechanisms. Although oxygen levels are restored upon reperfusion, a surge in the generation of reactive oxygen species occurs and proinflammatory neutrophils infiltrate ischemic tissues to exacerbate ischemic injury. The pathologic events induced by I/R orchestrate the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which appears to represent a common end-effector of the pathologic events initiated by I/R. The aim of this treatise is to provide a comprehensive review of the mechanisms underlying the development of I/R injury, from which it should be apparent that a combination of molecular and cellular approaches targeting multiple pathologic processes to limit the extent of I/R injury must be adopted to enhance resistance to cell death and increase regenerative capacity in order to effect long-lasting repair of ischemic tissues.

Abstract
The transition from laparoscopic partial nephrectomy to robotic partial nephrectomy was found to be too rapid for an experienced laparoscopic surgeon. Background: The complexity of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) has prompted many laparoscopic surgeons to adopt robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for the treatment of small renal masses. We assessed the learning curve for an experienced laparoscopic surgeon during the transition from LPN to RPN. Methods: We compared perioperative outcomes of the first 20 patients who underwent RPN to the last 18 patients who underwent LPN by the same surgeon (MAP). Surgical technique was consistent across platforms. The learning curve was defined as the number of cases required to consistently perform RPN with shorter average operative times (OT) and warm ischemia times (WIT), as compared to the last 18 LPN. A line of best fit aided graphical interpretation of the learning curve on a scatter diagram of OT versus procedure date. Results: The 2 groups had comparable preoperative demographics and tumor histopathology. No patients in either group had a positive surgical margin. There was a downward trend in both OT and WIT during the RPN learning curve. After the first 5 RPN cases, the average OT reached the average OT of the last 18 LPN cases. The average OT of the first 5 RPN patients was 242.8 minutes, compared with the average OT of the last 15 RPN patients of 171.3 minutes (P=0.011). Conclusion: The transition from LPN to RPN is rapid in an experienced laparoscopic surgeon. There were no significant differences in WIT, estimated blood loss, or length of hospital stay between LPN and RPN. RPN achieved a similar OT as LPN after 5 procedures.

Abstract
CONTEXT The impact of applying renal ischaemia during nephron-sparing surgery to avoid renal damage in the treated kidney has gained importance in different surgical techniques. OBJECTIVE The main objective of the present study is to point out the limit of renal ischaemia times for warm and cold ischaemia approaches. Important results of research on renal ischaemia and different surgical techniques as well as results of clinical studies concerning renal function after renal ischaemia in partial nephrectomy are highlighted. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A Medline literature research was performed, combining queries on the keywords nephron-sparing surgery, partial nephrectomy, and ischemia. Links to related articles and cross-reading of citations in related articles were surveyed, as were reviews, letters to editors, and information collected from urologic textbooks. The references formed the basis of this review article, with selection and deletion based on the relevance and importance of the content. In a final step, interactive peer review by the expert panel of coauthors completed the review. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Renal ischaemia research showed an increasing renal damage proportional to ischemic time. Current clinical data support safe ischaemia times, within 20 min of warm ischaemia and up to 2 h of cold ischaemia, to minimise renal ischemic damage. To date, no ischaemia dose-response curve or algorithm is available to predict the risk of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in patients undergoing intraoperative ischaemia. In general, there seems to be a higher risk for comorbidity caused by renal damage in patients suffering from kidney tumour. CONCLUSIONS If ischaemia is required, the tumour should be removed within 20 min of warm ischaemia, regardless of surgical approach. Efforts should be made to start immediately with cold ischaemia, if the feasibility within this span of time seems to be jeopardised. Thus, cold ischaemia times up to 2 h can be tolerated by the kidney, depending on the individual method. Nevertheless, cold ischaemia with ice slush should be kept as short as possible--at best within 35 min. In ischemic nephron-sparing surgery, one of the surgeon's main aims should be to avoid loss of renal function. Only after optimal preoperative appraisal and planning can the best postoperative outcomes for renal function be achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate renal preservation by a novel method of perfusion using an oxygenated perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion via retrograde access to the kidney, as preserving renal function during urological surgery has been elusive, and the recognized technique of nephron-sparing surgery has increased its application and practice in modern urology. MATERIALS AND METHODS After institutional review and approval, 30 New Zealand White rabbits were studied. In a solitary kidney model, each rabbit had the ureter catheterized before 40 min of renal artery occlusion. Each rabbit was randomized to one retrograde perfusion group, i.e. sham, normothermic PFC, chilled PFC, normothermic saline, and chilled saline. The rabbits were maintained for 2 weeks, during which renal function, urine output, systemic blood gases, weight and serum creatinine level were measured. After death, the kidneys were individually examined and graded by one renal pathologist unaware of the treatment. RESULTS The rabbits treated with retrograde PFC perfusion (normothermic and chilled) had less change in their creatinine clearance, at 3.6 and 4.0 mL/min per kg, than the sham group, at 7.8 mL/min per kg, while also having significantly higher systemic venous oxygenation, at 26.3 and 10.0 mmHg, than the sham group, at 0.2 mmHg. Normothermic and chilled perfusion with PFC was also associated with less histological evidence of ischaemic damage, with mean (sd) scores of 13.0 (13.5) and 8.7 (4.5), respectively, than in the sham group, at 33.3 (16.8), while favourably matching the contralateral control kidney group, at 5.5 (2.3). The rabbits treated with saline retrograde perfusion also had better outcomes than the sham cohort. There were no adverse effects in any of the study arms or with the use of PFC. CONCLUSION Retrograde oxygen delivery to the kidney through the urinary collecting system was successful in this pilot study. Renal function, laboratory and histological data indicate a trend towards renal preservation and even systemic oxygenation in the experimental groups compared with the sham rabbits, with no adverse effects attributed to this technique.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on oxidative injury in obstructive jaundice using three groups of rats: sham-operated group; common bile duct (CBD) group — the CBD was ligated; and DHEA group — DHEA administration followed CBD ligation. Liver function tests were performed using blood samples, and malondialdehyde concentration (MDA), superoxide dismutase activities (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and total glutathione (tGSH) concentrations were measured in liver tissue. Serum alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase and alanine aminotransferase activity were significantly elevated in the CBD group compared with the other groups. Serum aspartate aminotransferase and total bilirubin were highest in the CBD group; the MDA concentration was higher in the CBD group than the sham group. There were no significant differences in GPx activity among the groups. SOD activity and tGSH concentration were significantly lower in the CBD group than the other groups. DHEA may protect hepatic tissue against oxidative injury in obstructive jaundice by decreasing MDA concentration and increasing SOD activity and tGSH concentration.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the different patterns of renal infarction to avoid pitfalls. To present 'flip-flop enhancement' pattern in renal infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of a total of 41 renal infarction in 37 patients were done. These patients underwent initial CT and the diagnosis of renal infarction was confirmed with either follow up CT or at surgery. RESULTS Twenty-three patients had wedge-shaped focal infarcts, nine patients had global and five patients had multifocal infarcts of the kidneys. Cortical rim sign was seen predominantly with global infarcts. In five patients, a 'flip-flop enhancement' pattern was observed. In two patients, planned renal biopsies due to tumefactive renal lesions were cancelled because of 'flip-flop enhancement' pattern on follow up CTs. CONCLUSION Although most of our cases were straightforward for the diagnosis of renal infarction, cases with tumefactive lesions and global infarctions without the well-known cortical rim sign were particularly challenging. We describe a new sign, flip-flop enhancement pattern, which we believe solidified the diagnosis of renal infarction in five of our cases. The authors recommend further investigations for association of flip-flop enhancement and renal infarction.

Abstract
Studies were conducted to investigate the role of renal sympathetic nerves in the process of acquiring ischaemic tolerance in ischaemic preconditioned ischaemia-reperfused rat kidneys. Two periods of 3-min occlusion of bilateral renal arteries was performed prior to 30-min bilateral ischaemia and 90-min reperfusion in acute renal denervated or innervated kidneys. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) and lithium (FELi), and renal blood flow (RBF) were assessed in reperfused kidneys. Ischaemic preconditioning significantly improved values for all these parameters as compared with no treated ischaemia-reperfused kidneys. Denervation caused slight increase in GFR, diuresis and natriuresis without improving RBF after reperfusion. However, protecting effects of ischaemic preconditioning on renal function were disappeared in denervated kidneys, while in innervated kidneys the effects of ischaemic preconditioning were maintained. These results clearly showed that ischaemic preconditioning pre-treatment protects kidneys against ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and the effects are, at least in part, mediated by sympathetic nerves, as the protective effects were abolished by denervation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue factor (TF) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein that is the primary cellular initiator of the blood clotting cascade and its expression is induced on macrophages and endothelial cells during the inflammatory or immune response. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) regulates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation through its ability to inhibit tissue factor activity. We studied the role of TF in the kidney following warm ischemic reperfusion and studied the effect of TFPI in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS After laparotomy of Lewis rats, the right kidney was harvested and left renal artery and vein were clamped. The kidney was reperfused after 60, 120, and 180 min of ischemia. Rats were sacrificed at 0, 1.5, 5, 12, and 24 h after reperfusion with or without TFPI treatment, and the kidney was harvested. Blood samples were collected at 0, 5, 12, and 24 h after reperfusion from the abdominal aorta. Blood urea nitrogen and kalium were monitored. TF expression was also studied by immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody (HTF-K108). RESULTS Histologically, the necroses of the tubular epithelial cells were observed 1.5 h after reperfusion. Immunohistochemically, TF staining was positive on the glomerular endothelial cells and stimulated monocytes but negative on the tubular epithelial cells. The necrotic area extended and encompassed almost all of the ischemic kidney by 12 h after reperfusion. TF was stained on the glomerular base membrane, the glomerular endothelial cells, and the stimulated monocytes but was not evident on the necrotic tubular epithelial cells. Fibrinogen was also observed in the glomerular endothelial cells at 5-12 h after reperfusion, while it was slight in normal tissue. With TFPI treatment, the necrotic area was narrow and TF was slightly stained on the endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that TF plays an important role in the development of renal injury after ischemia and reperfusion. The microcirculatory incompetence due to microthrombus might cause the formation and development of the necrosis. These results also suggest that TFPI plays a key role in modulating tissue factor-dependent blood coagulation, therefore TFPI is a strong medication for prevention of ischemic reperfusion injury.

Abstract
1. The effects of ischaemic preconditioning (IP) on renal function, haemodynamics and lipid peroxidation in the rat ischaemia-reperfused kidney model were examined. 2. In Wistar male rats, application of a single or three periods of 5 min bilateral renal ischaemia was performed prior to 30 min bilateral ischaemia and 90 min reperfusion (IR). The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated in terms of inulin clearance. Fractional excretion of sodium (FE(Na)) and lithium (FE(Li)), indicating total and proximal tubular sodium handling, respectively, was also measured and renal blood flow was monitored throughout the experiment. In addition, renal lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in reperfused kidneys were evaluated. 3. A 2.8-fold increase in recovery of GFR (P < 0.005), a 50% reduction in FE(Na) (P < 0.005) and a 40% decrease in FE(Li) (P < 0.05) after IR resulted from the single period of 5 min IP. Renal blood flow was also higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01). No change of LPO levels was observed. 4. We conclude that IP may have an ability to ameliorate reperfused renal function and haemodynamics with a suitable period of preconditioned ischaemia, although this effect is independent of LPO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report our experience with laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for solid renal masses. METHODS Between August 1998 and December 1999, 15 patients with solid renal masses underwent laparoscopic NSS at our institutions. Seven patients underwent a transperitoneal approach and eight a retroperitoneal approach. The kidneys were fully mobilized to allow inspection of all renal parenchyma. The ultrasonic shears were used to divide the renal parenchyma around the tumor in all cases. Renal surface hemostasis was then accomplished by welding a piece of oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze to the transected renal surface with the argon beam coagulator. Tumors were removed intact and sent for analysis of frozen section margin status. RESULTS Laparoscopic NSS was successfully completed without complications in all patients. The mean tumor size was 2.3 cm (range 0.8 to 3.5), mean operative time was 170 minutes (range 105 to 240), and mean estimated blood loss was 368 mL (range 75 to 1000). The final pathologic finding was renal cell carcinoma in 12 patients and oncocytoma in 3 patients. All final surgical margins were negative. Patients were hospitalized for a mean of 2.6 days (range 2 to 4). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic NSS for small, solid renal masses can be performed safely with a combination of the ultrasonic shears for renal parenchymal transection and argon beam coagulation and oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze for renal surface hemostasis.

Abstract
Hypothermia is commonly used to prevent ischemic renal damage during complex nephron-sparing surgical procedures requiring temporary renal artery occlusion. We developed a novel Cooling Sheath device, which is compatible with laparoscopy, to protect the kidney hypothermically during 60 minutes of temporary arterial occlusion in a laparoscopic swine model. Comparison of temperature curves and histology to control groups undergoing open slush surface cooling and laparoscopic warm ischemia for similar time periods was performed. Optimal hypothermic temperatures were reached rapidly and maintained with the use of the Cooling Sheath. Ischemic damage, present in all kidneys subjected to warm ischemia, was not found on histopathologic examination of the cooled kidneys. This new device provides hypothermic protection of the kidney during ischemia. The use of the Cooling Sheath combined with temporary arterial occlusion will allow more complex nephron-sparing renal surgery to be performed using laparoscopy.

Abstract
Hypothermia and preservative perfusates have been used to decrease ischemic renal injury. This study was performed to identify the preservative function of perfusates independent of the effects of hypothermia. Rats underwent 45 minutes of renal ischemia. Rectal and renal parenchyma temperatures were monitored and maintained within 1 degree C of normal. Perfusates were University of Wisconsin solution (UW), Euro-Collins solution, normal saline solution, and Ringer's lactate solution. A nonperfused ischemic control and a nonischemic control group were also evaluated. Parameters evaluated included serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels, renal ischemic injury grade, renal weight, and gross appearance of the injured kidney. Rats treated with UW solution were found to have a significantly lower creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and injury grade than the other three perfused groups. The external gross appearance of the UW-treated kidneys was normal, whereas that of the other groups demonstrated moderate to severe injury. Although the mean right/left renal weight difference of the UW-treated group was lower than that of the other three groups, this was not statistically significant. Under normothermic conditions in rats, UW solution affords significant renal protection from ischemia. Euro-Collins, normal saline, and Ringer's lactate solutions display no significant protective effect.

Abstract
Renal transplantation has increased the longevity of patients with uremia. An increasing number undergo aortic reconstruction, which exposes the transplanted kidney to ischemic injury. To evaluate the risk for renal failure, loss of the transplant, and methods of renal protection, we reviewed our experience. Clinical data were reviewed for 10 consecutive patients (7 men, 3 women; mean age 52.7 years [range 32 to 75 years]) with a transplanted kidney who underwent aortic reconstruction between 1977 and 1994 at our institution. Mean interval between renal transplantation and aortic reconstruction was 5.9 years (range 1 month to 12.7 years). Seven patients required emergency repair because of dissection (2 patients), aneurysm rupture (4 patients), or symptomatic aneurysm (1 patient); three underwent elective repair. Reasons for reconstruction included aortic dissection (2 patients), aneurysm of the descending thoracic (2 patients), thoracoabdominal (1 patient), or abdominal aorta (3 patients), and aortoiliac occlusive disease (2 patients). Patients with thoracic or thoracoabdominal reconstructions underwent repair with atriofemoral, aortofemoral, or femorofemoral shunt placement or bypass. Of the five abdominal aortic reconstructions, the kidney was protected with aortofemoral shunt placement in one patient and cold renal perfusion in three. In two of them, topical cooling of the kidney also was used. One patient with acute aortic dissection died at 39 days as a result of respiratory failure. Loss of the recently transplanted kidney was caused by acute rejection. One patient had a transient increase in serum creatinine concentration. Eight no worsening of renal function, and none of the nine survivors lost the transplanted kidney. We concluded that aortic reconstruction can be safely performed in kidney transplant recipients. Patients in whom thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic reconstruction was required were protected with an atriofemoral or aortofemoral bypass or shunt. Patients undergoing abdominal aortic reconstruction did well when cold renal perfusion with or without local cooling of the transplant was used for renal protection. Transplanted kidneys appeared to tolerate ischemic injury similarly to native kidneys.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the renoprotective effect of a specific platelet-activating factor antagonist (WEB-2086) in an experimental model of normothermic renal ischemia. Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were studied for 2 days before and 24 hours after a 60-minute period of renal ischemia induced by bilateral clamping of the renal arteries. The animals were divided into two groups: a control group (group A; n = 10) and a treated group (group B; n = 10). In group A the urinary flow rate decreased significantly (from 0.098 +/- 0.008 ml/min to 0.029 +/- 0.005 ml/min) (p < 0.001) and there was a significant reduction in creatinine clearance (from 11.4 +/- 1.2 ml/min to 3.4 +/- 1.1 ml/min) (p < 0.001). In group B no significant changes were observed, although the urinary flow rate increased even in the postischemic period (from 0.09 +/- 0.008 ml/min to 0.11 +/- 0.02 ml/min). Microcirculatory cortical flow showed a postischemic reduction in both groups, although it was most significant in the control group (group A = 43.7%, group B = 71.5%; p < 0.001). Histologic study showed mild damage with patchy tubular necrosis in both groups, although this injury was less severe in the treated group. The results suggest that the preoperative administration of WEB-2086 produces a potent diuretic effect with significant attenuation of postischemic acute renal failure.

Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the effect of renal ischaemia on transport systems for organic compounds in the rabbit kidney proximal tubule. Ischaemia for 30 or 60 min. induced glucosuria and phosphaturia, which was accompanied by polyuria and natriuresis. The Na(+)-dependent uptake of glucose, succinate and L-glutamate by brush-border membrane vesicles was not altered by 30 or 60 min. of ischaemia, while the H+/tetraethylammonium antiport was significantly inhibited after 30 min. of ischaemia. When the duration of ischaemia was extended to 120 min. the uptake of glucose and succinate by brush-border membrane vesicles was also significantly attenuated, but the L-glutamate uptake was not altered. The uptake of glucose, succinate and L-glutamate by basolateral membrane vesicles was not impaired even with 120 min. of ischaemia, suggesting that transport systems for organic compounds in the brush-border membrane are more sensitive to ischaemia than those in the basolateral membrane. Ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption in renal cortical slices was not depressed by 60 min. of ischaemia. When kidneys were reperfused for 60 min. following 60 min. of ischaemia, the Na(+)-glucose and Na(+)-succinate cotransport and the H+/tetraethylammonium antiport were not different from the control, but the recovery of alkaline phosphatase was significantly reduced. When kidneys were subjected to ischaemia for 60 min., a loss of brush-border microvilli and plasma membrane was observed after 5 or 60 min. of reflow in the proximal convoluted tubule. After 3 hr of reflow, focal necrosis appeared although the microvilli were partially regenerated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Renal function is intimately dependent on renal blood flow. Alterations in either total or regional renal blood flow have major consequences for renal function. Through homeostatic mechanisms the kidneys are able to maintain relatively stable rates of flow over a wide range of perfusion pressures. A combination of neural, endocrine, exocrine and autocrine signals serve to regulate renal blood flow at both local and systemic levels. Alterations in the balance of these systems occur in the presence of certain pathophysiological conditions and an understanding of the subsequent changes in regional renal blood flow distribution aids in the understanding of the associated changes in renal function. The regulation and distribution of regional blood flow and the effects of surgical and pathophysiological conditions on these factors are reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The nitric oxide precursor, L-arginine, has been shown to have a salutary effect on ischemia and reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle, skin, and intestines. Because L-arginine also increases renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and urine flow in experimental animals with normal renal function, we postulated that L-arginine may also improve renal function after renal ischemic injury. METHODS Eighteen adult New Zealand white rabbits weighing 3 to 3.5 kg were subjected to bilateral normothermic renal ischemia by clamping both renal pedicles for 1 hour followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. The animals were randomized into three groups: group I (control, n = 6) received no additional treatment; group II (pretreatment, n = 6) received systemic intravenous L-arginine at 150 mg/kg over 20 minutes before induction of ischemia; group III (posttreatment, n = 6) received systemic intravenous L-arginine at 150 mg/kg over 20 minutes from the onset of reperfusion. Urine flow, creatinine clearance (CCR), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), and renal failure index (RFI) were calculated before ischemia and 2 hours after reperfusion, by use of standard formulas. The changes of the various renal parameters were compared among the three groups. RESULTS Bilateral normothermic renal ischemia for 1 hour produced a significant deterioration of glomerular filtration as evidenced by a CCR decrease from 11.1 +/- 1.8 to 2.49 +/- 0.9 ml/min (p < 0.01), FENa increase from 2.9% +/- 1.0% to 20.8% +/- 1.5% (p < 0.01) and RFI increase from 4.0 +/- 1.3 to 28.8 +/- 2.6 (p < 0.01). Pretreatment with L-arginine (group II) minimized the deleterious effects caused by ischemia on glomerular filtration (CCR of 2.49 +/- 0.9 ml/min in group I vs 4.95 +/- 2.5 ml/min in group II, p < 0.05) and tubular function (FENa of 20.8% +/- 1.5% in group I vs 13.0% +/- 5.6% in group II and RFI of 28.8 +/- 2.6 in group I vs 18.6 +/- 8.0 in group II, p < 0.05). Infusion of L-arginine at the onset of reperfusion (group III) produced a significant diuretic effect (urine flow from 32.6 +/- 13.4 ml/hr in group I to 63.3 +/- 18.8 ml/hr in group III, p < 0.05) and also minimized glomerular damage (CCR from 2.49 +/- 0.9 ml/min in group I to 4.80 +/- 1.2 ml/min in group III, p < 0.05); however, no beneficial effect was observed on tubular function. CONCLUSION Induction of nitric oxide production by systemic L-arginine infusion can best preserve glomerular and tubular function in the ischemic/reperfused kidney when given before the ischemic insult.

Abstract
Treatment of suprarenal aneurysms and renal artery reconstructions are both responsible for normothermic ischemia of the kidney (during clamping) followed by reperfusion (declamping). During reflow through an organ undergoing ischemia the production of free radicals can be associated with cell injury and a no-reflow phenomenon characterized by perfusion defects after a period of transient hyperemia. The objectives of this study were to demonstrate the existence of this phenomenon in the kidney undergoing ischemia followed by reperfusion and to test the potential protection afforded by an iron chelator (desferrioxamine) since free radical reactions are catalyzed by iron. Adult New Zealand white rabbits were divided into the following three groups: group A, 15 minutes of ischemia plus 10 minutes of reperfusion; group B, 60 minutes of ischemia plus 10 minutes of reperfusion; and group C, 60 minutes of ischemia plus 10 minutes of reperfusion combined with infusion of desferrioxamine (50 mg/kg). Cortical microcirculation in the kidney was measured by laser Doppler flowmeter before ischemia and 1, 5, and 10 minutes after reperfusion. Vitamin E content was determined in the cortex of the left kidney after 10 minutes of reperfusion and compared with that of the right (control) kidney. After 1 minute of reperfusion the cortical microcirculatory flow was significantly increased in all three groups (reactive hyperemia). In groups A and C blood flow returned to preclamping values after 10 minutes of reperfusion; however, blood flow in group B remained significantly reduced (29.2% +/- 10.5%) after 5 minutes of reperfusion with a further reduction to 48.5% +/- 5.7% after 10 minutes. These findings were correlated with the dosage of vitamin E since the vitamin E content was greatly reduced by 46.7% +/- 7.8% in group B but did not change significantly in groups A and C. This study shows that 60 minutes of normothermic ischemia is followed by a significant reduction in cortical microcirculatory flow (no-reflow phenomenon). Infusion of an iron chelator (desferrioxamine), however, which decreases the intensity of lipid peroxidation induced by the free radicals, preserves the microcirculatory flow.

Abstract
Twenty-eight partial nephrectomies were performed on nine pigs with a simultaneous, coaxial CO2-Nd:YAG laser at power settings of 20 W and 40 W, or with a steel scalpel. A vascular pedicle clamp was used without renal cooling. The time for hemostasis was 4.5 +/- 3.2 min (mean +/- SD) with the laser and 6.4 +/- 2.5 min with the steel scalpel (P = 0.064). There was no difference in the total operation time (10.4 +/- 3.5 min with the laser vs. 11.0 +/- 3.2 min with the steel scalpel, P = 0.470). The mean blood loss with the laser was 17.5 +/- 6.7 g and 22.1 +/- 15.2 g with the steel scalpel (P = 0.299). The number of ligatures needed for complete hemostasis was 2.9 +/- 2.1 with the laser and 5.0 +/- 2.3 with the steel scalpel (P = 0.011). The average thermal damage was 0.23 +/- 0.10 mm. It is concluded that the simultaneous CO2-Nd:YAG laser method can be used in partial nephrectomy and it offers better hemostasis than the conventional technique. Further studies with different power levels are needed.

Abstract
Thirty-two partial nephrectomies were performed without renal cooling on 13 pigs with a contact fibre Nd:YAG laser (10 W) or a steel scalpel with or without a vascular pedicle clamp. Nine pigs had a 2-week follow-up with an abdominal ultrasound 1 week postoperatively. The time for haemostasis was 6.9 +/- 5.2 min (mean +/- SD) with the laser and 9.1 +/- 5.8 min with the steel scalpel when the clamp was used (P = 0.028). There was no significant difference in the total operating time (13.2 +/- 4.5 min with the laser vs 12.6 +/- 4.6 min with the steel scalpel, P = 0.203). Intraoperative blood loss was similar in the two groups when the clamp was used. Clamping the renal pedicle decreased the blood loss by 61% in the laser group and 31% in the steel scalpel group. The number of ligatures used was significantly lower in the laser group (3.7 +/- 2.6) compared with the steel scalpel group (6.6 +/- 3.4) (P = 0.013). Five urinomas developed on the laser side and four on the steel scalpel side. These results indicate that the contact fibre Nd:YAG laser method can be used in partial nephrectomy, but it offers no definitive advantage over the conventional technique.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether warm ischemia (WIT) and cold storage preservation (CSP) impair endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation in the kidney. Twenty-four canine kidneys were harvested, preserved with CSP for 24 or 48 hours, and then perfused with canine blood at 37 C for the determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), perfusion flow rate, and renal vascular resistance (RVR). There were four experimental groups: Group I--no WIT followed by 24 hours CSP, Group II--30 minutes WIT followed by 24 hours CSP, Group III--no WIT followed by 48 hours CSP, Group IV--30 minutes WIT followed by 48 hours CSP. Endothelial function in each group was evaluated using acetylcholine (ACh, 1 mg. bolus) as an endothelial dependent vasodilator, and sodium nitroprusside (NP, 10 mg. bolus) as an endothelial independent vasodilator. Glomerular filtration rate was significantly less (P < .05) and RVR was significantly greater (P < .05) for kidneys from Groups II, III and IV compared to group I. The highest RVR was observed in kidneys from Groups II and IV. Nitroprusside administration caused an equivalent reduction in RVR among all four study groups. ACh administration caused a similar reduction in RVR in Groups I and III; however, the change in RVR was significantly less in Groups II and IV (P < .05). We hypothesize that the more severe ischemic insult in the latter groups led to vascular endothelial damage with a consequent loss of ability to secrete endothelium-derived relaxing factor in response to ACh administration.

Abstract
A model of renal ischemia was used to study morphological changes and alterations in intrarenal blood flow. Renal artery blood flow was reduced from 120 to 20 ml./minute (normal 172 +/- 14) for 3 weeks. Morphological changes were assessed histologically, and by electronmicroscopy. Intrarenal blood flow was determined using microspheres. Flow rates less than 80 ml./minute resulted in a progressive loss of renal volume with arterial thrombosis and renal infarction at 20 ml./minute. Histological changes included loss of glomerular volume, tubular dilatation (60 ml./minute), tubular cast formation (50 ml./minute) tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, arteriolar thickening (40 ml./minute) and glomerular hyalinization (30 ml./minute). Electronmicroscopy changes at 60 ml./minute (loss of glomerular microvasculature, unfolding of glomerular vascular tuft, appearance of blind ending vessels) progressed to disruption of glomerular architecture noted at 30 ml./minute. Narrowing of medullary blood vessels (60 ml./minute) and neovascularisation (40 ml./minute) was observed. Progressive ischemia decreased medullary, inner cortical and outer cortical blood flow (5.9 to 2.1 ml./minute/gm.) p less than 0.01, with a compensatory increase to the opposite kidney.

Abstract
Tetrodotoxin has been reported to cause prolonged systemic hypotension without resultant ischemic damage. We tested its ability to protect the kidney during 60 minutes of warm ischemia in uninephrectomized rats. Protection was observed when tetrodotoxin was given intravenously at two microgram./kg. and four microgram./kg. as assessed by serial plasma blood urea nitrogen and creatinine measurements over two weeks. Tetrodotoxin was protective when given immediately before or immediately after the ischemic period. The renal protection of tetrodotoxin was not due to its effects on renal nerves as renal denervation did not protect the kidney from the ischemic damage. The renal protective effects of four microgram. tetrodotoxin/kg. were similar to those of four mg. captopril/kg. but the combination of the two was paradoxically without effect. We tested whether tetrodotoxin and captopril chemically antagonized each other, but in the presence of tetrodotoxin, captopril was still a potent inhibitor of the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. These results indicate that tetrodotoxin could be useful in elucidating the sequence of events associated with ischemic-reperfusion renal injury and in identifying ways of preserving renal function during renal surgery.

Abstract
Renal dose dopamine given to organ donors improves renal blood flow and therefore should theoretically improve the quality of the renal grafts and increase the incidence of immediate graft function (IGF). Allografts which function immediately have a better long-term survival. Dopamine, in doses of less than 4 microg/kg per min, acts directly on receptors in blood vessel walls in the splanchnic bed causing vasodilation. In contrast, dopamine given at doses of greater than 4 microg/kg per min to hypotensive donors to elevate the systemic blood pressure has a direct adrenergic effect and causes vasoconstriction. This vasoconstriction when combined with the reperfusion injury which occurs after transplantation may jeopardize the chance of the graft functioning immediately. We studied 31 consecutive donors to see if those donors requiring pressor support (dopamine) to maintain systemic blood pressure had a lower incidence of IGF and whether this could be modified by giving the donor vasodilator drugs during procurement of the organs.

Abstract
The present study was designed to determine whether the administration of superoxide dismutase (SOD) can alleviate ischemic kidney damage and whether there is a relationship between oxygen free radicals and thromboxane (Tx). In 17 dogs, the right kidney was removed and the vascular pedicle of the left kidney was clamped for 75 min. Prior to reperfusion, the ischemic kidney was rinsed with 5 mg SOD and an additional 20 mg SOD was infused systemically. Blood samples were drawn from the renal vein before ischemia and after reperfusion to determine serum levels of thromboxane B2 (TxB2). All eight untreated dogs died within 1 week of renal failure, and the nine treated dogs demonstrated transient renal failure, with a significant difference (P less than 0.001) being found between the two groups. A significant difference (P less than 0.001) in TxB2 levels was found in the untreated dogs before and after ischemia and between the two groups following reperfusion. Animals that are treated with SOD after the ischemic event has occurred but before reperfusion exhibit a favorable clinical course in terms of survival and renal function. Tx synthesis in the kidney can be blocked by the administration of SOD.
