[The enzymes activity of intestine grafts after combined small bowel/liver transplantation in rats].
OBJECTIVE
To study the alteration of the enzymes activity of intestine grafts after combined small bowel/liver transplantation in rats and the relations between their changes, functions and immune rejection.


METHODS
A kind of model of combined small bowel/liver transplantation (SLT) was established in SD closed colony rats. The enzymes activity of grafts were examined at regular postoperative intervals with histochemical methods.


RESULTS
The enzymes activity of grafts disappeared eventually in isolated small bowel transplantation rats. Contrary, those in SLT rats were remained and recovered after operation.


CONCLUSIONS
The rejection in grafted intestine can be prevented or delayed in SLT rats. The examination of activity of enzymes and nerves in grafts may be used to monitor rejection and study function of grafts.
