组织工程的临床研究——组织工程连载之五

组织工程研究涉及的临床科室包括骨科、普外科、五官科、康复医学科、泌尿科、口腔颌面外科、神经外科、整形外科、胸外科、眼科、肝胆外科、血管外科;涉及的组织器官有:神经组织、肝脏组织、角膜组织、膀胱组织、血液、韧带、耳朵、生殖道、手、脂肪、乳房、心脏、肾脏、胰腺、管状组织(用于建造肠管、食管、气管、血管、肾和尿道等)等.其中皮肤组织、软骨组织、骨组织等的研究应用较为成熟.从最初工程化组织或器官的立项研究到最终批准临床应用,这是一个漫长的过程,需要众多不同学科的科研人员共同努力.随着基础研究和临床应用的深入发展,现代组织工程正在成为治疗组织、器官衰竭的有效疗法和辅助手段.

Clinical Researches of Tissue Engineering

The involved clinical departments of tissue engineering include orthopaedics department, general surgery department, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology department, rehabilitation medicine department, urology department, oral dentofacial surgery department, neurosurgery department, plastic surgery department, chest surgery department, ophthalmology department, hepatobiliary surgery department and vascular surgery department, nervous tissue, liver tissue, cornea tissue, urinary bladder tissue, blood, ligament, ear, genital tract, hand, fat, breast, heart, kidney, pancreas and tube tissues that applied in constructing intestinal canal, esophagus, trachea, blood vessel, kidney and urethral canal, etc. The relatively successful fields of research and application include skin tissue, cartilage tissue and bone tissue. It is a long course that from the aboriginal initial research of engineered tissue or organ to the final authorized clinical application, which needs many researchers of different disciplines to work hard together. With the deep development of fundamental research and clinical application, modern tissue engineering is becoming an effective treatment and supplementary means for therapy of tissue or organ failure.
