| Research Abstract |
Kobe University is appointed as one of certified institutes for clinical islet transplantation in Japan. So far we have received 8 pancreases from heart arrested cadavers and processed 7 pancreases into islets. Of those, 3 isolates met the criteria for immediate transplantation. All receipents showed good glycemic control with less amount of exogenous insulin. Isolation success rate reached 43% (3/7) which is almost as same level as that reported from high volume centers in USA.
Based on our clinical experience, maximizing islet yield and reducing islet loss immediately after implantation were the key factors for successful islet transplantation using live donor. Therefore, we performed important experiments and got following results.
Exp 1: Two layer method (TLM) for pancreas preservation prior to islet isolation resulted in excellent islet function in addition to improved islet yield, which is almost comparable to freshly isolated islets.
Exp 2: Tissue ATP levels after digestion were well maintained using TLM with adenosine digestion method. Greater numbers of islets could be retrieved. The new method was at least equivalent to islet function isolated by conventional method.
Exp 3: Reduced-pressure controlled collagenase injection (RPCI) at 80 mmHg could contribute to consistently high islet yield and in vivo function in a rat model.
Exp 4: intraperitoneal oxygenated PFC improves the outcome of intraportal islet transplantation
