Development of University of Wisconsin (UW) solution in pancreatic transplantation / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The incidence of diabetes has a rapid increase trend trend in the whole world. In China, the incidence has come to 3%. The most of patients with type Ⅰ and part of type Ⅱ diabetes rely on exogenious insulin to control blood glucose;they not only have to bear the uncomfortbleness of insulin injection, but also inevitably to face the forward complications, so,the main concern in recent years is to rebuild the endogenous insulin secretion system. Many experiments show that pancreas transplantation not only can stop the development of insulin dependent diabe-tes, but also revert the already existing complications, just like with other organ transplants, the organ access and preservation is prerequisite for success. Because of the specificity of pancreas tissue, the effects of different organ preservation solution for the preservation of the pancreas varies. In this paper we will talk about the effect of UW preservation solution in the pancreas transplantation.
