Abstract:
Diabetes is a common disease,serverely harmful to the human's health and life quality.The pancreatic islets transplantation can correct the patient's hyperglycemia,stop or even reverse the progress of the complication and thus decrease the mortality of diabetic patients.It is the most safe and efficient therapy for diabetes.Since the Edmonton Protocol got success in pancreatic islet transplantation in 2000,it has been more and more interested because of its great clinical curative effect.Research strategy of islet transplantation is now focussed on increasing the acquired islets with normal viability,selecting the best transplantation pathway,and improving the immunosuppression protocol.The shortage of human pancreatic donor is an ever unsolved problem in clinical application.The potential resolutions may include acquisition from xenogenic-islets;islets originated from stem cells,and islets from the living-donor human pancreas.The islets transplantation will open a new application field for interventional radiology.(J Intervent Radiol,2006,15: 577-579)
