RESUMO
Objective: To discuss the feasibility of immune tolerance in rat small bowel trans-plantation induced by immature dendritic cells isolated from SD and Wistar rat. Methods: Dendritic cells isolated from liver or bone marrow of inbred strain Wistar and SD rat were cultured for five to nine days. A week before operation, the recipient rats were injected 2?106 inmature DCs from vena dorsalis penis and observed. The models of heterotopic small bowel transplantation (SBT: SD→ Wistar)were established. Acute immuno- rejection levels were evaluated by HE. Results: Varying degrees of rejection were observed in 3, 5, 7 days after operation. Conclusion: Immature DC can induce allogenic immunological tolerance of rat small bowel transplantation.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of epidermal growth factor(EGF) on the morphology and absorption of small bowel graft. Method Total small bowel transplantion was performed between inbred Wistar(RT1 k) rats. Total parenteral nutrition(TPN group,n=10) and EGF supplemented TPN(EGF group,n=10) was used from POD2 to POD10. ResultsMucosal villous height,crypt depth, mucosal thickness and villous surface area were found significantly larger in EGF group than in TPN group.Normal ultrastructure of the graft was maintained in EGF group, Atrophied microvilli and broken mitochondrial crista were observed in TPN group. Plasma 15N-Glycine level was higher in EGF group than in TPN group. Conclusion EGF improves mucosal morphology,preserves enterocyte ultrastructure, enhances amino acid absorption.
