| T1 |
75-238 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
When studying histological characteristics of porcine pancreata in relation to islet isolation, a remarkably high number of hyperemic islets (HIs) was encountered. |
| T2 |
239-377 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The abnormalities observed in these HIs ranged from a single dilated vessel to hemorrhages extending into the surrounding exocrine tissue. |
| T3 |
378-480 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The aim of the present study was to compare pancreata with and without HI on islet isolation outcomes. |
| T4 |
481-622 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
This study involved a histological examination of 143 purebred (74 juvenile and 69 adult) and 47 crossbred (only juvenile) porcine pancreata. |
| T5 |
623-704 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Islet isolation was performed in 48 purebred adult pigs and in 25 crossbred pigs. |
| T6 |
820-892 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
We observed HIs in 48% of the purebred and in 68% of the crossbred pigs. |
| T7 |
893-968 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
However, only 3.3±3.1% and 3.1±4.7% of all assessed islets was hyperemic in |
| T8 |
983-1028 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
in purebred and crossbred pigs, respectively. |
| T9 |
1029-1102 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
In both groups, significantly higher endocrine cell mass was found in the |
| T10 |
1117-1126 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
(p<0.01). |
| T11 |
1127-1229 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
When the higher endocrine cell mass was taken into account, we found significantly lower yields in the |
| T12 |
1244-1304 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
in both purebred and crossbred pigs (p=0.03 in both groups). |
| T13 |
1305-1420 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The presence of HIs occurs frequently in porcine donor-pancreata and is associated with reduced isolation outcomes. |
