Results indicated that the allograft group not receiving therapy showed severe rejection, with transplanted limbs detaching at 10 days after transplantation with complete necrosis. The number of myelinated axons and Schwann cells in the FK506 and FK506 ＋ bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells groups were significantly increased. We observed a lesser degree of gastrocnemius muscle degeneration, and increased polymorphic fibers along with other pathological changes in the FK506 ＋ bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group. The FK506 ＋ bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group showed significantly better recovery than the autograft and FK506 groups. The results demonstrated that FK506 improved the immune microenvironment. FK506 combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells significantly promoted sciatic nerve regeneration, and improved sensory recovery and motor function in hind limb allotransplant.展开更多

First, a 130 cm length of terminal ileum of each pig was isolated on its vascular pedicle as a Thiry-Vella loop. One week later, the solitary ileal segments were transplanted heterotopically in two pigs. And after 28 days of heterotopic transplantation, the transplanted intestine was interposed into continuity of host intestine as orthotopic transplant. During the experiment, tests were made on 6th day after the first operation (period 1), the 14th (II), 28th (III) day after heterotopic transplantation, and 3 weeks after interposition (IV) respectively for the levels of glucose, palmitate and leucine. Additionally, at period I, III, and IV, a 3 cm length of intestinal mucosa was excised for morphologic observation and determination of DNA, RNA and protein contents. After heterotopic transplantation, the absorptive function of transplanted intestine was severely impaired for two weeks. The absorption of glucose! and palmitate was partially recovered by period III, at which time leucine level had return to normal. At period IV, the absorptive function of glucose and leucine had surpassed normal levels, while palmitate had risen to the level of pretransplantation. After transplantation, at period III, DNA, RNA and protein contents were well below normal. Three weeks after orthotopic transplantation, RNA and protein had risen to normal level, while DNA content remained below normal, The morphologic changes during the experiment were correlated with the changes of contents in RNA, protein and DNA. The area, height, width of villi and the area, depth, width:of crypt were below normal at III and recovered by 3 weeks after orthotopic transplantation (period IV), but were still lower than the levels at pretransplantation. Crypt depths were deeper than those of pretransplantation.展开更多
