University of Wisconsin solution (UWS) is the gold standard for graft preservation. Celsior solution (CS) is a new solution not as yet widely used in liver grafts. The aim of this study was to compare the liver function of transplanted grafts stored in these 2 preservation solutions. The primary end

Abstract
The preservation of the microcirculation of bone has been evaluated with use of an in vitro canine tibia perfusion model. The production of relaxing factors by the osseous vascular endothelium was used as a metabolic marker for viability. This endothelial eccrine function was preserved for 5 days (120 h) by cold storage without continuous perfusion after a washout with the University of Wisconsin (UW) solution. This synthetic perfusate was superior to Krebs Ringer solution (p < 0.05), but storage without perfusion failed to prevent a significant rise in vascular resistance. Two techniques were effective for the preservation of bone vascularity for 24 h: washout with UW solution followed by nonperfusion cold (4Β°C) storage, and vascular washout with mannitol solution followed by continuous hypothermic (5Β°C) microperfusion (0.03 ml/min) with UW solution. The most consistent, and lowest, vascular resistance was produced by the microperfusion technique. However, UW solution does not consistently prevent an increase in vascular resistance with hypothermic ischemia. This technique may prove useful for the preservation of vascularized bone grafts, but it needs to be evaluated in a transplantation model.

Preservation of the liver involves a period of cold (0" to 4" C) ischemia; the longer the ischemic period, the greater the injury to the liver. The mechanisms for cold-induced ischemic injury are not known, but it is clear that after preservation the liver has a reduced capacity to regenerate high-e
