Conventional static cold storage (SCS) exacerbates ischemic injury in the DCD liver, leading to severe complications for transplant recipients. To address this issue, clinical application of MP technology for donor liver preservation is underway. Simultaneously, efforts are focused on the development of various MP instruments, validated through relevant animal model experiments. Effective large animal trials play a pivotal role in clinical applications. However, challenges persist in the ex vivo preservation of DCD livers and the transplantation procedure in pigs. These hurdles encompass addressing the prolonged preservation of donor livers, conducting viability tests, alleviating ischemic injuries, and shortening the anhepatic phase. The use of a variable temperature-controlled MP device facilitates the prolonged preservation of DCD livers through sequential Dual Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion (DHOPE) and Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) modes. This protocol enhances the porcine OLTx model by improving the quality of DCD livers, optimizing the anastomosis technique, and reducing the duration of the anhepatic phase.
Introduction: For end-stage liver diseases, liver transplantation remains the most suitable therapy for its treatment. Nonetheless, the current gap between the patients on the waiting list and the graft supply, as well as the gold standard preservation method (Static Cold Storage or SCS), limits its usefulness. Extended Criteria Donors (ECD) has been proposed as a potential solution to increase the donor pool, although these have a greater susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), especially after SCS, causing delayed graft function and primary non-function. These side effects have fueled research into more suitable methods such as ex-situ normothermic machine perfusion (NMP). Methods: Sixteen healthy pig livers were subjected to normothermic perfusion using blood as a perfusion solution. in 5 experiments, taurocholic acid was administrated 6 hours after perfusion initiation. Perfusate and bile were sampled before, during and after perfusion to assess the hepatocellular injury and liver function and bile duct injury and bile production. Liver samples were collected before and after perfusion to perform analysis of general damage, stellate cell activation, oxidative stress and LSEC response. Results: AST and LDH levels increased progressively for the first 12 hours (P= 0.02 and P=0.001 respectively). Afterward, both parameters stabilized. Glucose and lactate levels decreased rapidly during the first 4 hours (p=0.003 for glucose and p=0.04 for lactate) and reached the lowest within 8 (p<0.001) and 12 hours (p<0.001) respectively. Overall, blood pH remained steady (p=0.10). Serum levels of ALKP, GGT and Bil didn’t suffer any changes during all the perfusion (p=0.99, p=0.75 and p=0.13 respectively). Bile production started within 1 hour after ex-situ perfusion. Livers supplied with taurocholic acid had a higher bile production rate, 9±3 mL/h, compared to those not supplied, 4±3 (p=0.005). No structural alterations were detected in liver samples after the Suzuki injury score assessment (p=0.33) and stellate cell activation quantification by both gene (p=0,64) and protein expression (p=0,79) and percentage of the stained area (p=0.15). Although eNOS gene and protein expression increased (p=0.01 and p=0.008 respectively), histological analysis of CD31 endothelial staining showed no differences between the baseline, 35,7±9,1 %, and the 24-hour perfusion 36,3±7,2%, of the sinusoidal area (p=0.87). This increase was associated with higher levels of MDA after the perfusion (p=0.006) as the KLF2 gene and protein expression remained invariable (p=0.80 and p=0.26 respectively). Conclusion: Our results show that NMP, as a preservation method, is capable of maintaining the normal hepatic structure and, at the same time, supporting normal metabolic activity. However, further studies should be conducted to demonstrate post-transplant liver viability.

There is a dearth of effective parameters for selecting potentially transplantable liver grafts from expanded-criteria donors. In this study, we used a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation analyzer-based assay to assess the viability of ex vivo livers obtained via porcine donation after circulatory death (DCD). Ex situ normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) was utilized as a platform for viability test of porcine DCD donor livers. A liver-targeted contrast agent, gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA), was injected into the perfusate during NMP, and the dynamic biliary excretion of the Gd-EOB-DTPA was monitored by measuring the longitudinal relaxation time (T1). The longitudinal relaxation rate (R1) of the bile was served as a parameter. The delay of increase in biliary R1 during early stage of NMP indicated the impaired function of liver grafts in both warm and cold ischemia injury, which was correlated with the change of alanine aminotransferase. The preservative superiority in cold ischemia of dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion could also be verified by assessing biliary R1 and other biochemical parameters. This study allows for the dynamic assessment of the viability of porcine DCD donor livers by combined usage of ex situ NMP and NMR relaxation time based assay, which lays a foundation for further clinical application.

With the rapid development of information technology, scientific social network, i.e. SSN, have become the fastest and most convenient way for researchers to communicate with each other. However, a lot of published articles are shared via SSN every day which make it difficult for researchers to find highly valuable articles. To solve above information overload problem, a novel hybrid approach integrating with social information, i.e., HAR-SI, is proposed for the article recommendation in SSN. Unlike the traditional CBF and CF recommendation approaches, the social tag information and social friend information, which have been proved playing a significant role on recommendation in many domains, are effectively integrated into these two approaches separately to improve the accuracy in SSN. Prediction results made by the improved CBF and CF separately are combined with a hybrid method. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed HAR-SI, a real-life dataset from CiteULike was employed. Experimental results show that the proposed approach provides higher quality recommendations than the baseline methods, thus providing a more effective manner to recommend articles in SSN.
With the rapid development of information technology, scientific social networks (SSNs) have become the fastest and most convenient way for researchers to communicate with each other. Many published papers are shared via SSNs every day, resulting in the problem of information overload. How to appropriately recommend personalized and highly valuable papers for researchers is becoming more urgent. However, when recommending papers in SSNs, only a small amount of positive instances are available, leaving a vast amount of unlabelled data, in which negative instances and potential unseen positive instances are mixed together, which naturally belongs to One-Class Collaborative Filtering (OCCF) problem. Therefore, considering the extreme data imbalance and data sparsity of this OCCF problem, a hybrid approach of Social and Content aware One-class Recommendation of Papers in SSNs, termed SCORP, is proposed in this study. Unlike previous approaches recommended to address the OCCF problem, social information, which has been proved playing a significant role in performing recommendations in many domains, is applied in both the profiling of content-based filtering and the collaborative filtering to achieve superior recommendations. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed SCORP approach, a real-life data-set from CiteULike was employed. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is superior to all of the compared approaches, thus providing a more effective method for recommending papers in SSNs.
In this paper ,the improved one class collaborative filtering with social information (OCCF‐SI) is proposed .On the one hand ,the user’s activity and the similarity between projects are consid‐ered when extracting the negative cases ;on the other hand ,the social information of user’s friends relations and project’s labels is merged into the probability matrix factorization .The experiments on the real dataset in a scientific social network named CiteULike are conducted .The experimental re‐sults show that compared to other traditional recommendation methods ,the proposed method gets the best recommendation results and performs well in scalability .
