Abstract:
Objective To study the inhibitory effects of cyclosporine A (CsA) on the laryngeal allograft rejection and corresponding histological changes,and the relation to the CsA dose.Methods The Wistar rats as recipients were divided into control group(without CsA)and two experimental groups:group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ receiving CsA 15 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks respectively.Topographic anatomically and histologically,the survival of the laryngeal allografts was evaluated.Results Obvious histologic evidence of acute rejection of the laryngeal allografts was found in the control group.In the two experimental groups,the histological changes was obviously lessened 7 days after operation as compared with those in the control group,and the tissue structure of the laryngeal allografts was kept intact 14 days after transplantation.In the group Ⅱ,2 allografts histologically showed an increase in inflammatory cells in the lamina propria,predominantly polymorphonuclear leukocytes,with associated edema.surface epithelium and minor salivary gland acini were damaged,with focal ulceration and acinar micro-abscesses.The other case only exhibited slight rejection.Conclusion CsA can effectively prevent rejection of laryngeal allografts and block the development of injury of allografts from SD rat donors to Wistar recipients.The dosage and the pattern of administration of CsA may be closely related to its efficacy.The increased infection rate of the allografts may possibly be contributed to the higher CsA doses employed.
