A protein was isolated by DEAE-cellulose Chromatography and ultracentrifuge from the fruits of Momordica charantid L., and identified by chemical and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis methods. The molecular weight was 34 000; isoelectric point pH 8.4,N-end amino acid was leucine.It was composed of 17 kinds of amino acids. The protein has been shown to have antifertility action in male rats.

Liver transplantation is the only way to treat end-stage liver disease. In order to overcome the shortage of donor, marginal donors have been used widely, which bring about a series of problems. Machine perfusion can stimulate the circulation in vivo and is beneficial for the protection of liver. It could also improve the graft function and reduce postoperative complications, which makes it a hot spot in recent years. The aim of this study is to summarize the current status and prospects of application of machine perfusion on clinical liver transplantation.
