The islet transplantation site can be divided into two categories: orthotopic islet transplantation and ectopic islet transplantation. Orthotopic islet transplantation refers to that the insulin secreted and released from the transplanted islet will be metabolized into the liver through the hepatic portal vein system, which does not change the original insulin metabolic pathway, including the portal vein of the liver, the greater omentum. The insulin secreted by the ectopic islet transplantation changes the original metabolic pathway of insulin. The ideal islet transplantation site generally has the following characteristics: high success rate transplantation, high long-term survival rate of graft, simple operation, less trauma, less complications, low risk, easy to repeat detection and so on. This article provides a review of the current research status of each islet transplantation site, in order to provide reference for future related research.
Objective To investigate the indication and possibility of orthotopic liver transplantation for patient with alveolar hydatid disease. Methods An orthotopic liver transplantaion was successfully performed on two cases with unresectable alveolar hydatid disease using the new approach of venovenous bypass first.Results The recovery of liver graft function was good after the operation in these patients. Following up for nine and three months, the patients returned to his work without any complications. Conclusion It suggests that the case with advanced alveolar hydatid disease are an indication for liver transplantation. The new technique of venovenous bypass prior to mobilization of liver is feasible and safe.

Objective To investigate the effect of transplantation of the cutaneous iliac flap on repairing bone and soft tissue defect of metatarsal. Methods From October 1999 to December 2003, the cutaneous iliac flap was designed for the repair of bone and soft tissue defect of metatarsal in 4 male patients, whose ages ranged from 26 to 47, with skin graft for the coverage of the iliac flap. The duration of injury ranged from 1 to 5 months. The length of the defect ranged from 4 to 7 cm and the defect area ranged from 5 cm×3 cm to 9 cm×5 cm. Results One week after transplantation, complete survival of iliac flap was observed in 3 cases and partial survival in 1 case (but later proved survived). Callus was seen 1 month after transplantation and Kwires were removed 4months after transplantation. Patients were followed up for 5 to 24 months. There were no ulcers. The ability of walking and bearing was satisfying as well asthe function and shape. Conclusion With satisfying restoration of function and shape, transplantation of the cutaneous iliac flap with skin graft is an alternative to treat bone and soft tissue defect of metatarsal with one stage surgery.
Objective
To investigate how to establish stable mice cervical heart transplantation model.
Methods
Totally, 40 male C57 mice with the age of 6-8 weeks and weight of 19-24 g were randomly divided into recipients and donors (n=20 in each group). Mice cervical heart transplantation model was established by connecting the ascending aorta of donors to the right cervical common artery of recipients through end to side anastmosis and the pulmonary artery of donors to the right external jugular vein of recipients through end to end anastmosis.
Results
More than 95% recipients survived after surgery. Cold ischemia time was 15±5 min, warm ischemia time 23±6 min, and the whole operation took about 55±15 min. The recipients survived more than 30 d with functional heart grafts. Histologically, there was no difference between the heart graft one month after the transplantion and the normal heart.
Conclusion
Cervical heart transplantation of mice model is reliable and feasible, which is easy to monitor the survival condition of heart graft by visual examination and palpation, which will benefit the basic research in transplantation field.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the index of the rejection of lJle retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)cells transplantation.
METHOD:Allogenic RPE transplantation on rahbits by transcleral technique, the changes of interleukin-2 (IL-2) activity in peripheral blood and the effect of
immunoinhibitor (methylprednisonlone)were detected.
RESLILTS:In the group of simple transplantation,the IL-2 activity in peripheral blood begin to rise in the first day after operation. The peak value occured in the third day,and is still much higher than that of the control group in the 14th day,whereas in the group treated with immunoinhibitor ,there was no obvious difference in the first day after operatlon,in the third day,the IL-2 activity rises slightly,and returned to normal level in the 7th day.
CONCLUSION: After RPE transplantation, the level of IL-2 activity in peripheral blood might serve as an important index to determining and detecting the rejective response.

Objective To summarize the research progress of stem cell transplantation in treating spinal cord injury (SCI) at different stages based on the pathophysiological mechanism of SCI. Methods The relevant research literature at home and abroad was extensively reviewed to explore the impact of transplantation timing on the effectiveness of stem cell transplantation in treating SCI. Results Researchers performed different types of stem cell transplantation for subjects at different stages of SCI through different transplantation approaches. Clinical trials have proved the safety and feasibility of stem cell transplantation at acute, subacute, and chronic stages, which can alleviate inflammation at the injured site and restore the function of the damaged nerve cells. But the reliable clinical trials comparing the effectiveness of stem cell transplantation at different stages of SCI are still lacking. Conclusion Stem cell transplantation has a good prospect in treating SCI. In the future, the multi-center, large sample randomized controlled clinical trials are needed, with a focus on the long-term effectiveness of stem cell transplantation.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of continuous nursing on lung transplant patients at home based on humanistic care. MethodsAccording to hospitalization order, patients who received lung transplantation in our hospital from January 2016 to October 2020 were divided into a control group and a nursing group. The control group was treated with routine lung transplantation education and regular follow-up after discharge, and the nursing group received humanistic care during follow-up, health education at discharge, cultural exchange activities, and home care plans. After discharge, the self-management ability at home, medication adherence and satisfaction of home care between the two groups were campared. ResultsA total of 60 patients were included in the study. There were 23 patients in the control group, including 16 males and 7 females, with an average age of 58.70±11.00 years. There were 37 pateints in the nursing group, including 25 males and 12 females, with an average age of 57.90±13.20 years. The scores of self-management ability at home of the nursing group (self-concept 27.41±2.37 points vs. 21.78±3.54 points; self-care responsibility 20.73±1.63 points vs. 16.83±2.79 points; self-care skills 41.46±3.77 points vs. 28.26±4.11 points; health knowledge level 57.95±4.10 points vs. 44.87±5.79 points) were higher than those in the control group (all P＜0.05). The medication adherence (7.47±0.46 points vs. 6.87±0.28 points) and satisfaction of home care (23.80±1.20 points vs. 20.50±1.90 points) in the nursing group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). ConclusionContinuous nursing based on humanistic care for lung transplant patients can effectively improve the self-management ability, medication adherence and nursing satisfaction of patients after discharge.
Objective
To compare the effects of olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC)-containing and pre-degenerated peripheral nerve (PN) transplantation on the axonal regeneration of axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in adult rats.
Methods
Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 rats in each group. A segment of the normal (group A) or 10mu;l-OEC-injected (group B) autogenetic sciatic nerve was sutured onto the ocular stump of the left transected optic nerve (ON). In another 2 groups, the removed sciatic nerve was cultured (group C) or co-cultured with OEC (group D) in vitro for 5 days before transplantation. All animals were executed 4 weeks after transplantation, and the number of Fluoro-goldlabeled RGC in each group was counted.
Results
The averages of regenerating RGC in group B (1481plusmn;268), C (1235plusmn;266) and D (1464plusmn;285) were significantly higher than that in group A (799plusmn;109; P=0.0002, 0.0010 and 0.0003, respectively). No significant difference was found among group B, C and D (P=0.3644, 0.9167 and 0.4344).
Conclusion
OEC can promote the axonal regeneration of axotomized RGC in fresh PN graft, which doesnprime;t differ much from the effect of the pre-degenerated PN graft. No additive effect of OEC and the pre-degenerated PN graft can be detected.

Objective Biliary epithelial cell (BEC) proliferated actively induced by ischemia-type biliary lesion (ITBL), which played an important role in the development of biliary complication after orthortopic liver transplantation (OLT). The aims of this study is to provide novel method to protect the liver endured cold preservation and reperfusion injury (CPRI) and reduce posttransplant biliary complication, and explore its possible mechanism.Methods Based on constructed OLT models for studying ITBL, the hepatic oval cell (HOC) or the IL-13 genemodified HOC to the portal vein of the recipient 〔OLT+HOC group and OLT+IL-13· HOC group〕 were-transfused, then the pathology change, the liver function and the expressions of the α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA of the transplanted liver of CPRI were observed, the proliferation of BEC and survival rate of the recipients were also observed. Results The BEC injury was showed in grafts with prolonged ischemia time, characterized by induction of BEC proliferation, liver function injury and cholestasis sign reflecting the increase of serum ALT, AST and TBIL. The OLT+IL-13·HOC group had better results than OLT and OLT+HOC group, which indicated the OLT+IL-13·HOC group had low level of expression α-SMA (after operation 7 d, Plt;0.05) and proliferation of BEC (after operation 3 d, Plt;0.05). The expressions of HO-1 mRNA were higher in OLT+IL-13·HOC group than in other groups. The survival rate of OLT group was lower than that of the OLT+IL-13·HOC group and sham operation group (Plt;0.05).Conclusion High expression level of IL-13 in recipient rats could promote the expression of HO-1 mRNA in transplant liver, and profit to protection donor liver, and recover of the liver function after liver transplantation. It perhaps is the mechanism of protective effect of IL-13 on graft that stimulate the expression of HO-1 mRNA significantly.
