商品描述

This book covers recent pre-clinical and clinical developments in gasotransmitters (nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide) in all transplantable solid organs - kidney, heart, lung, liver, pancreas and intestine. Gasotransmitters are a class of small endogenously produced gaseous signaling molecules that play important roles in cellular homeostasis and impact physiological and pathophysiological situations. Recently, these gasotransmitters have emerged as potent cytoprotective mediators, possessing therapeutic properties that enable them exhibit their intracellular signaling functions. Hence, alterations in their physiological levels have been associated with various pathologies including cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in organ transplantation.


In the context of organ transplantation, a novel therapeutic strategy that is being investigated involves administration of these gasotransmitters to the organ donor or recipient before or after transplantation, or supplementation of standard preservation solution with gasotransmitters during organ graft preservation to mitigate transplant-induced IRI. The book is divided into three parts for easier access: Hydrogen Sulfide in Organ Transplantation, Carbon Monoxide in Organ Transplantation, and Nitric Oxide in Organ Transplantation.


The proposed book presents recent advances in organ graft protection mediated by gasotransmitters against warm and cold IRI in preclinical models of organ transplantation and some selected clinical cases, and seeks to lay the foundation for future clinical applications of these gases. The book is topical and timely, and will serve as a good resource for both educational and didactic purposes in transplant patient care and other aspects of clinical medicine.



商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書涵蓋了氣體傳遞物質(一氧化氮、一氧化碳和硫化氫)在所有可移植固體器官(腎臟、心臟、肺、肝臟、胰臟和腸道)中的最新臨床和臨床前發展。氣體傳遞物質是一類小型內源性產生的氣體信號分子,對細胞內平衡起重要作用,並影響生理和病理情況。最近,這些氣體傳遞物質已經成為強效的細胞保護介質,具有治療特性,使它們能夠發揮其細胞內信號功能。因此,其生理水平的改變與包括器官移植中的冷缺血再灌注損傷(IRI)在內的各種病理狀態有關。

在器官移植的背景下,正在研究的一種新的治療策略涉及在移植前或移植後將這些氣體傳遞物質給予器官供體或受體,或在器官移植過程中將標準保存溶液補充氣體傳遞物質以減輕移植引起的IRI。本書分為三個部分,以便更容易查閱:「硫化氫在器官移植中的應用」、「一氧化碳在器官移植中的應用」和「一氧化氮在器官移植中的應用」。

本書提出了氣體傳遞物質在器官移植的暖缺血再灌注損傷和冷缺血再灌注損傷中對器官移植的保護的最新進展,並介紹了一些選定的臨床案例,旨在為這些氣體的未來臨床應用奠定基礎。本書具有時效性和及時性,將成為移植患者護理和臨床醫學其他方面的教育和教學資源。
