RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo investigate synergistic effect of donor livers blocked by recipient blood serum (RS) and cobra venom factor (CVF) treatment to inhibit hyperacute rejection (HAR) happened in liver xenotransplantation.MethodsThe SD rat blood serum was prepared for pre-perfusing the donor livers before experiment.24 pairs of guinea-pig (GP) and Sprague-Dawley (S.D.) rats were choiced respectively and pair-matched between GP donor and rat recipient randomly.Before transplantation,donor livers of GPs were pre-perfused by 0.5％ SD rat serum.Paired animals were divided into 4 groups randomly such as donor liver perfused by RS,recipient treated by CVF,RS+ CVF performed and Ringer solution as a control.The orthotopic liver xenotransplantations was performed with two-cuff technique.The survival time and liver function of recipients,morphological and pathological changes of rat livers were observed.ResultsThere was no piebaldism change on the recipient liver from experimental group.The survival time of recipients from RS+CVF group [(161.5±30.9) min]was longer than that of control[(45.2 ± 13.9) min] and CVF[(125.2 ± 25.5) min] or RS groups [(88.1±19.7) min] (P＜0.05).The ALT in serum of recipients from RS+CVF [(63.2±13.9)U/L]was lower than that from congtrol group [(126.1±23.3)U/L](P＜0.01) and CVF group [(79.9±18.1)U/L](P＜0.05) or RS group [(106.1±19.3)U/L](P＜0.01) The histological damages including thrombosis,interstitial bleeding and edema of recipient liver from RS+CVF group were alleviated markebly than that of other groups (P＜0.05).ConclusionThere was a synergistic effect to inhibit HAR happened in liver xenotransplantation by blocking the donor liver with recipient blood serum and CVF treatment significantly.
