| Research Abstract |
(1) Clinical indication
<Chronic pulmonary emphysema> Incidence of the juvenile type emphysema for lung transplantation in our country was found to be 1 to 2% of all, and the benefit of volume reduction surgery as a bridge therapy has been established.
<Primary pulmonary hypertension> Effectiveness of the prostacyclin treatment has been established to date, however, some patients were found to be resistant to this treatment.
<Others> Potential candidates for lung transplantation were most frequently found in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis among several disease entity (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary lymphoangiomyomatosis, bronchilitis obliterans, pulmonary emphysema).
(2) Basic research
1) Expansion of the donor pool
Possibility of lung transplantation from non-heart-beating donor was demonstrated, and the research on the size matching in living-related lobar transplantation has been started.
2) Zenotransplantation
Fetal lung as a low antigen-presenting model was challenged for zenograft and its usefulness was suggested. Researches on the mechanisms of immune reaction in zenotransplantation has been progressed.
3) Posttransplant patient management
Platelet was found to be contributory in reimplantation response. Triptolide, a kind of Chinese medicine, was found to be a potent immunosuppressive agent. Molecular biological technique (gene transfection) has been strated to be applied for immunosuppression in both acute and chronic rejection in lung transplantation.
