Abstract:
BACKGROUND: At present, many scholars make improvements to the UW solution composition, aiming to further explore the principle of organ preservation, improve preservation techniques and to extend the preservation time limit; simplified composition of UW solution can further meet the clinical transport, storage and ease of use; suitable alternatives should be found to reduce the cost of UW solution to satisfy the needs of the market.OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effectiveness of self-prepared PV solution for preserving rat's liver at a lower temperature, and to compare the results with UW solution.METHODS: A total of 90 Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: UW group, PV group and normal saline (NS) group. Rats in each group were prepared for non-circulated isolated perfused rat liver models, and preserved for 0, 6,12, 18, and 24 hours respectively, with 6 animals in each subgroup. The changes of hepatic enzymology (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase) in corresponding time period, amount of metabolic production of oxyradicals from perfusion effluent liquid, and the bile secretion and changes in hepatic morphology under the microscope were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Amounts of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase in perfusion effluent liquid were close between the PV group and UW group, and the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). After 6 hours of preservation, tumor necrosis factor a titre in the PV fluid group was greater than that in the UW group (P< 0.05); after 12 hours of preservation, amount of malonaldehyde in the UW group was evidently increased than that in the PV group (P < 0.05); after 18 hours of preservation, bile secretion in the PV group was lower than that in the UW group (P < 0.05); morphological changes of hepatic cells were similar in the two groups under the optical and electron microscope. The results demonstrated that PV solution and UW solution have a similar effect on protecting Wistar rat's liver function, and PV solution is superior to UW solution in antioxidation and scavenging oxygen free radicals.
