Abstract:

In order to cure benign end-stage respiratory disorders, lung transplantation is now a practical reality. The most important elements of this challenging journey are undoubtedly the proper timing and selection of candidates, the assessment and management of possible donors, treatment, and posttransplant monitoring. Even though the general strategy has advanced significantly, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of mortality and survival rates. The most crucial element is the lack of full comprehension of the physiological processes that underlie the various stages of the donation-transplant process, ranging from the recipient’s chronic rejection to the donor’s lung injury. To have an increasingly positive effect on survival, basic and clinical research must work closely together.We want to present some of the most pertinent articles to readers.In order to enhance therapeutic results and get a deeper comprehension of the intricate molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying lung transplantation, animal models are essential. TheAsimacopoulos developed the transplanted rat model over 50 years ago, and it is a complicated process from the perspective of surgical technique and perioperative treatment [1].Mizuta et al.’s 1989 invention of the cuff technique made pulmonary artery and vein anastomoses much easier [2], but the transplantation model in tiny animals is still highly difficult and can only be carried out in a limited number ofcenters. The technical facets of small animal transplantation and the control of perioperative problems were thoroughly reviewed by Dr. Jin. For readers interested in experimental surgery, the authors offered a helpful guide that covered recent experimental results in small animal lung transplant models and assisted in determining which species would be best suited for a particular experiment [3].
