Note : The Dutch dissertation system has a tradition of accompanying the generally very specialised PhD thesis with ten or more propositions (other ‘theses’), that should be ‘defensible’, and while at least some should be related to the dissertation, others generally reflect the PhD candidate’s broader interests, and the last one is often playful.

Publisher’s description

Pancreatic islet transplantation by a new method is introduced here : the isolation of islets in an organ preservation solution, the University of Wisconsin solution. A new concept allowing for the first time large-scale isolation and transplantation of consistently near 100% pure islets of Langerhans in a preclinical dog model with fasting normoglycemia up to 3 years posttransplant. Detailed metabolic studies demonstrated normal insulin levels after meals with preservation of gut hormone action stimulating insulin secretion at the mild hyperglycemia after meals. The introduction of the University of Wisconsin solution organ preservation solution for islet isolation at the start of these studies in 1989 is a new concept … and has been shown by now in 2022 , world-wide , to make the future of islet isolation and transplantation methods for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

Illustration of Islet Isolation and Transplantation
(Captions at last page of the dissertation)

1. Paul Langerhans
2. Section of the normal dog pancreas showing islets stained reddish-brown (immunostained for insulin)
3. The author, watching the dog islet isolation procedure in the Minneapolis surgical research laboratory
4. Start of the operation in the dog (From left to right: Professor Hein G. Gooszen, Ms. M. Jane Field (Minneapolis), and Dr. Onno R. Guicherit, at our surgical laboratory)
5. The pancreas is removed
6. Infusion of the collagenase solution via the ducts in the dog pancreas – collagenase leaking from the pancreas is recirculated using a pump (Islet laboratory, at the Department of Cell Biology and Histology, Leiden)
7. During collagenase digestion at 37-39°C the pancreas falls apart (non-stained pancreatic exocrine tissue and free-ed small blood vessel, at low magnification)
8. Dissociated pancreatic tissue
9. Tissue is further dispersed by aspiration in a syringe, and sieved to remove undigested fragments, ducts and vessels ~ demonstrated by Ms. Jane Field at our islet laboratory.
10. Tissue suspension demonstrating low purity of the islets (stained red by dithizone) obtained by dextran gradient separation after isolation in the RPMI tissue culture solution (dark-brown exocrine fragments remain unstained)
11. Pure islet suspension (after dithizone staining) obtained by density separation in Percoll gradients (in University of Wisconsin solution) after islet isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution (islets are only slightly stained due to poor diffusion over the cell membrane in the preservation solution)
12. Section of highly purified islets obtained by dextran density separation after isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution
13. Islets are autotransplanted by infusion in the spleen of the dog
14. Transplanted islet in section of the spleen of one of the dogs shortly after the onset of fasting hyperglycemia at three months posttransplant (immunostained for insulin)
15. Highly purified human islets obtained by Percoll density separation after isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution (immunostained with gold for insulin; not counterstained)

“Rescue during the Holocaust” is the theme this year of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day – Jan 27, 2013 – and an important theme in the work of historian Tanja von Fransecky.
Tanja von Fransecky has done research over the past years in France, Belgium, Holland, and Israel on the rescue, escape attempts, and escapes from the deportation trains during the Holocaust.

It is a relatively unknown chapter of the Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, that many deportees from death trains fled, and often were rescued by others – neighbors – at the risk of their own life.

Tanja von Fransecky’s work is news this weekend in the latest edition (Jan 26) of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” – the largest German national newspaper – in the report by Stephan Stracke, entitled: “Wir haben das Recht zu flüchten” – translated here as “We have the right to escape”.
Below my summary of this article on Tanja von Fransecky’s work (with some additions by myself) Continue reading “We have the right to escape”
