MATERIALS AND METHODSFourteen outbred hound dogs of both sexes weighing 17 to 24 kg with the mean age of 22.6±3.1 months underwent orthotopic transplantation of the entire small bowel as previously described. 3 Four recipients received autologous grafts (Group 1). Ten recipients of allogeneic SBTx were treated with cyclosporine (CsA, 20 to 30 mg/kg/day) and retrospectively divided into two groups according to the absence (Group 2, n= 6) or presence (Group 3, n= 4) of clinical symptoms, including continuous diarrhea, anorexia, malnutrition, and severe body weight loss. Between 110 and 210 days after auto-and allo-SBTx, intestinal graft function was evaluated by pharmacokinetics of oral CsA (10 mg/kg) and D-xylose absorption test (0.5 g/kg). Intestinal transit time was also determined by a barium X-ray study. In addition, intestinal graft tissues were obtained by open biopsy in recipients of Groups 1 and 2 and by sacrifice in Group 3. Samples were analyzed for intestinal brush border glycosidase 4 activity, in vitro circular muscle mechanical activity assay, 5 and histopathology. Histopathological changes were graded with a blinded fashion.RESULTSRecipients in Groups 1 (auto-SBTx) and 2 (allo-SBTx without symptoms) had comparable body weight gain by the time of this study (105% of pretransplant weight) with satisfactory serum total protein and cholesterol levels (Table 1). In contrast, recipients in Group 3 developed severe diarrhea 30 to 40 days after SBTx and suffered from malnutrition and significant body weight loss (76.5% of pretransplant weight) in spite of their voracious appetite. Intestinal transit time of recipients in Groups 1 and 2 at 4 to 7 months after SBTx was 185 minutes, slightly shorter than that of normal unoperated dogs; but it was extremely shortened to 60±30 minutes in Group 3. Pharmacokinetics of CsA correlated well with overall recipient nutritional condition: peak blood concentration (Cmax, ng/mL) and area under the curve (AUC, ng× h/mL) of CsA in Groups 1 and 2 were comparable to those seen in normal unoperated dogs. In contrast, they were significantly decreased in Group 3. D-xylose absorption was inferior in all groups compared to normal animals; especially, recipients in Group 3 showed 65.3% reduction. These results indicated comparable long-term function of intestinal allografts in Group 2 and auto grafts in Group 1, and impaired intestinal function in Group 3 allografts.
