【Abstract】ObjectiveTo compare the effects of self-designed KYL solution on rat liver preservation with UW solution. Methods Using non-circulated isolated perfused rat liver,SD rat livers were randomly preserved for 0、4、8、16、24 and 48 hours with self-designed KYL solution or UW solution. The effects were assessed by measuring the bile production, the contents of AST, ALT,LDH,free radical( MDA) and SOD in KrebsHenseleit’s perfusate and the content of intracellar calaium of the rat hepatocytes, and by observing the morphological changes in liver. At the same time, the normal saline was used to preserve the rats liver as negative comparison to know if KYL solution and UW solution can prevent the ischemiareperfusion injury in rat liver transplantation.Results At different periods within 16 hours of preservation,the bile production of the rat livers which were preserved by KYL solution were more than those were preserved by UW solution (P<0.01), JP2The contents of AST, ALT and LDH in Krebs-Henseleit’s perfusate were near in UW solution’s. The content of intracellar calaium of the rat hepatocytes which were preserved by KYL solution were less than those were preserved by UW solution (P<0.01). In KYL group, the content of MDA was lower than that UW group, the content of SOD was higher than that UW group at 24 and 48 h(P<0.01). Morphological changes in both groups were almost same. All variables of both groups were better than the rat livers preserved by the normal saline. It was proved that both KYL solution and UW solution could protect the rat livers. Conclusion The study indicated that the effects of self-designed KYL solution on rat liver preservation are similar to that of UW solution. The bile production after reperfusion and the content of intracellar calaium of the rat hepatocytes in KYL group are better than those in UW group .The effect of prevention of rat hepatocellular oedema by self-designed KYL solution are worse than that of UW solution.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical effects of two commonly used organ preservation solutions University of Wisconsin (UW) solution and histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution in liver transplantation.MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wanfang Data were searched to collect the comparative studies of the UW solution and HTK solution in the liver transplantation. The data were extracted and evaluated by the RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsFinally, 16 articles with a total of 35 024 patients were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the HTK solution group had a lower incidence of postoperative biliary complications [RR=1.30, 95%CI (1.07 1.58), P=0.008] and lower aspartate aminotransferase peak level within 7 d after operation [MD=112.45, 95%CI (93.34, 131.56), P<0.01] as compared with the UW solution group. No significant differences were found in terms of the incidence of primary non-function [RR=1.07, 95%CI (0.52, 2.18), P=0.86], survival rates of patient and graft in different time points (P>0.05), incidence of retransplantation [RR=0.83, 95%CI (0.48, 1.45), P=0.51], incidence of acute rejection [RR=1.27, 95%CI (0.96, 1.68), P=0.33], alanine aminotransferase peak level within 7 d [MD=31.79, 95%CI (–161.84, 225.42), P=0.75] after operation, total bilirubin [MD=19.42, 95%CI (–10.83, 49.67), P=0.21], and prothrombin time [MD=1.75, 95%CI (0.01, 3.49), P=0.84] between these two groups.ConclusionsHTK solution is safe and effective for liver transplantation, and has similar effects as UW solution. Regarding effect of both on long-term survival rates of patient and graft, large-sample and high-quality RCT is still needed for systematic evaluation.
