    Abstract Organ transplantation is a triumph of modern medicine which represents a culmination of science and imagination, saving thousands of lives a year. However, transplantation is severely limited by suitable donor allografts. To expand the donor pool and make transplantation achievable for all, normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is being employed more frequently. Normothermic machine perfusion involves the utilization of a device to approximate the physiology of the human body, preserve organs outside of the donor, and provide a dynamic assessment platform to determine organ suitability for transplantation. As NMP technology advances, it will soon be possible to genetically modify and actively repair these organs. Although its application to the field of transplantation is relatively new, the concept, foundation, and development of NMP can be traced back to the pioneering work of the surgeon-scientist, Alexis Carrel and the famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh in the 1930s. Their collaboration resulted in the Carrel-Lindbergh Perfusion device, an early perfusion device that was able to keep organs alive ex vivo for weeks and is most appropriately viewed as a precursor to modern machine perfusion technologies. As NMP technology becomes more advanced and refined, it is important to acknowledge the historical context in which these technologies emerged.

    Abstract Background: Outcomes in heart transplantation are affected by a variety of variables and patient factors. However, the impact of circadian rhythms, gene expression, and transcription remain underexplored. We thus evaluated the potential role of donor heart cross-clamp times on short-term and long-term outcomes after heart transplantation.
    Methods: A total of 31 713 heart transplants were identified from the United Network for Organ Sharing Database. Patients were first stratified on the basis of time of donor procurement: 12 am to 12 pm or 12 pm to 12 am. To evaluate a possible effect of circadian rhythms, donor time was further divided into 5 groups based on preclinical data: 4 am to 8 am; 8 am to 11 am; 11 am to 5 pm; 5 pm to 10 pm; 10 pm to 4 am. Groups were assessed with comparative statistics. Long-term survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier methods and a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model.
    Results: Patients who received hearts recovered between 12 am and 12 pm had significantly higher survival than those who received hearts recovered between 12 pm and 12 am. This survival difference was observed in both unadjusted (
    Conclusions: Given the independent association of donor timing and survival after adjustment in a large national cohort, further investigation into the role of donor circadian rhythm and donor procurement time is warranted in preclinical and clinical studies. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of this observation could potentially lead to the development of effective treatments and donor procurement processes that prepare the organs for transplantation in a better condition.

    Abstract Background and objective: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is often the underlying cause of endothelium breakdown and damage in cardiac or transplantation operations, which can lead to disastrous post-operative consequences. Recent studies of cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) have identified its critical role in IRI. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of CD38-mediated axis, pathways, and potential CD38 translational therapies for reducing inflammation associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or thoracic transplantation and IRI.
    Methods: We conducted a review of the literature by performing a search of the PubMed database on 2 April 2023. To find relevant publications on CD38, we utilized the MeSH terms: "CD38" AND "Ischemia" OR "CD38" AND "Transplant" OR "CD38" AND "Heart" from 1990-2023. Additional papers were included if they were felt to be relevant but were not captured in the MeSH terms. We found 160 papers that met this criterion, and following screening, exclusion and consensus a total of 36 papers were included.
    Key content and findings: CD38 is most notably a nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
    Conclusions: The knowledge gap in understanding the molecular basis of IRI has prevented further development of novel therapies and treatments. The possible interaction of CD38 with CD39 in the endothelium, and the modulation of the CD38 axis may be a pathway to improve cardiovascular outcomes, heart and lung donor organ quality, and overall longevity.
