Yet, donor kidney demand outweighs supply. Static cold storage (SCS) at 4°C is the current gold standard for renal preservation. SCS contributes to kidney damage through renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) that involves cellular death and inflammation. In porcine models of renal transplantation, we added non-FDA-approved hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor, AP39, to a bovine-based blood substitute, Hemopure, at 21°C and 37°C, which improved renal graft quality; though, the experimental setup was costly to meet renal metabolic demand. In rats, we investigated sodium thiosulfate (STS), an FDA-approved H2S donor, at 4°C and observed similar benefits. However, there is still a risk of 4°C cold IRI. Recent studies showed that 10°C human organ graft preservation enhanced patient survival without requiring extensive oxygen during preservation. Therefore, we hypothesize that preservation solutions with STS and Hemopure at 10°C will reduce renal IRI compared to SCS. METHODS: Using an in vitro model of rat renal IRI, we evaluated STS use at 4°C, 10°C, 21°C, and 37°C. We treated rat proximal tubular epithelial cells with 150 µM STS for 24 hours in hypoxic conditions to mimic ischemia, and 24 hours in normoxic conditions to mimic reperfusion. To assess cellular viability, we used flow cytometry and stained cells with FITC-Annexin-V and PerCP-Propidium Iodide to determine apoptosis and necrosis levels, respectively. RESULTS: STS treatment significantly enhanced cellular viability at 10°C compared to 4°C, 21°C, and 37°C, as determined by the percentage of cells negatively stained with FITC-Annexin-V and PerCP-Propidium Iodide. STS treatment also significantly decreased apoptotic and necrotic cells at 10°C compared to 4°C, 21°C, and 37°C, as shown by the percentage of cells positively stained with FITC-Annexin-V and PerCP-Propidium Iodide. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, 10°C STS treatment significantly protects rat proximal tubular epithelial cells from IRI, suggesting that 10°C kidney preservation may enhance renal graft survival, especially in a cost-effective manner, compared to other preservation temperatures currently used in transplantation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
