Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid ‐Induced Fragmentation of Golgi Apparatus as a Biocompatibility Marker
In this study, we found that fragmentation of Golgi apparatus occurred in a pH‐dependent manner within 30‐min exposure to five distinct commercially available PDFs, which showed no marked difference in their effects on cell viability in the conventional MTT assay. Fluorescence microscopy analysis of labeling antibody against cis‐Golgi protein GM130 indicated that the stacked cisternal structure was maintained in the perinuclear area of both M199 culture medium and a neutral‐pH PDF groups. However, this specific structure became partially disassembled over time even in a neutral‐pH PDF, and fragmentation was marke...

Bridging to a Long ‐Term Ventricular Assist Device With Short‐Term Mechanical Circulatory Support
In conclusion, we found that using short‐term MCS therapy—except for VA‐ECMO—as a bridge to long‐term CF‐LVAD support was not associated with poorer survival. (Source: Artificial Organs)

In Vitro Evaluation of ECG ‐Synchronized Pulsatile Flow Using the i‐cor Diagonal Pump in Neonatal and Pediatric ECLS Systems
The objective was to assess the i‐cor electrocardiogram‐synchronized diagonal pump in terms of hemodynamic energy properties for off‐label use in neonatal and pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS) circuits. The neonatal circuit consisted of an i‐cor pump and console, a Medos Hilite 800 LT oxygenator, an 8Fr arterial cannula, a 10Fr venous cannula, 91 cm of 0.6‐cm ID arterial tubing, and 91 cm of 0.6‐cm ID venous tubing. The pediatric circuit was identical except it included a 12Fr arterial cannula, a 14Fr venous cannula, and a Medos Hilite 2400 LT oxygenator. Neonatal trials were conducted at 36°C with ...
