Abstract:
Objective To establish the small-size liver transplantation model for cirrhotic rats.
Methods Of the 24 SD cirrhotic rats,12 underwent small-size liver transplantation(56.3%) and 12 underwent whole liver transplantation(95.8%).
Results The smallsize liver transplantation model was successfully established for cirrhotic rats.The liver function 24 h after operation and the 7-day survival rate were significantly higher in whole liver transplantation group than in small-size liver transplantation group(
P<0.05).
Conclusion The small-size liver transplantation model for cirrhotic rats can be used as an animal experiment platform for liver transplantation-related research.
