摘要:
Described herein are compositions and methods particularly useful in the medical arts. The compositions and methods may be used in connection with the preservation of a portion of a mammal, for example, tissues, organs, appendages, limbs, extremities, stem cells, myocytes, bone marrow, skeletal muscle as well as an array of other medical procedures, such as cardiac surgery, transplantation and/or preservation. In various embodiments, the inventive composition may be hyperoxygenated and be formulated to resemble the biochemistries of natural intracellular fluids. The inventive composition includes active ingredients to reduce ischemic, hypothermic and reperfusion injury during transplantation, thereby resulting in improved post-transplant graft function and quality, when used in connection with organ transplantation and storage procedures, for example cardiac transplantation.
