摘 要：AIM To establish a reversible porcine model of acute liver failure(ALF) and treat it with an artificial liver system. METHODS Sixteen pigs weighing 30-35 kg were chosen and administered with acetaminophen(APAP) to induce ALF. ALF pigs were then randomly assigned to either an experimental group(n = 11), in which a treatment procedure was performed, or a control group(n = 5). Treatment was started 20 h after APAP administration and continued for 8 h. Clinical manifestations of all animals, including liver and kidney functions, serum biochemical parameters and survival times were analyzed. RESULTS Twenty hours after APAP administration, the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, creatinine and ammonia were significantly increased, while albumin levels were decreased(P 0.05). Prothrombin time was found to be extended with progression of ALF. After continuous treatment for 8 h(at 28 h), aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, creatinine, and ammonia showed a decrease in comparison with the control group(P 0.05). A cross-section of livers revealed signs of vacuolar degeneration, nuclear fragmentation and *** survival, porcine models in the treatment group survived for longer times with artificial liver system treatment(P 0.05). CONCLUSION This model is reproducible and allows for quantitative evaluation of new liver systems, such as a bioartificial liver. The artificial liver system(ZHj-3) is safe and effective for the APAP-induced porcine ALF model.
