Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of composite artificial liver supporting system, in more detail, relating to a kind of being used for can substitute acute hepatic failure (acute liver failure in the long term, ALF) patient's liver function, support severe liver failure patient to wait for liver transplantation, perhaps make the liver failure patient recover hepatic tissue of self and its regeneration and compensation gradually, thereby improve ALF patient's survival rate and the composite artificial liver supporting system of time-to-live.In addition, the invention still further relates to the using method of above-mentioned composite artificial liver supporting system, this using method can improve the therapeutic effect of said system greatly.
Background technology
Acute hepatic failure is common critical illness, and mortality rate is up to 70~90%.For this disease, the treatment means of using roughly has following several at present.
1. the secular clinical experience of Drug therapy proves, for the acute hepatic failure patient, because patient's liver has been lost regeneration and compensation, Drug therapy is difficult to fundamentally make the hepatic tissue restore funcitons, so can not obtain desirable therapeutic.
2. it is to dialyse by blood/plasma that abiotic type artificial liver support system is treated this Therapeutic Method, or adopt activated carbon and ion exchange resin to carry out means such as blood/plasma perfusion or displacement, remove toxicant and chemical substances such as aromatic amino acid, phenol in the blood, to alleviate the burden of liver, the expectation patient recovers self hepatocellular compensation gradually.This Therapeutic Method has better therapeutic effect for the lighter patient of liver organization degree of injury, but for the serious patient of liver organization degree of injury, just can not make its liver organization restore funcitons, the effect of treatment is undesirable, can not obviously improve patient's survival rate.
3. to hold this Therapeutic Method of system (BALSS) treatment be to cultivate a kind of exogenous hepatocyte in bioreactor to the Biotype artificial rami hepatici, liver failure patient's blood/plasma is circulated by this bioreactor, in in the cyclic process of blood/plasma, being undertaken by a kind of semipermeable membrane, micromolecular mass exchange, carry out such as functions such as synthetic, detoxifcation and biotransformations, for the liver failure patient provides the support of hepatic tissue function with exogenous hepatocyte.Studies show that this BALSS can keep liver failure patient survival within a certain period of time, for liver failure patient's further treatment (for example, liver transplantation) gains time.
Yet, because the mass exchange of ALF blood/plasma in the bioreactor of BALSS needs a large amount of exogenous hepatocyte, functions such as, detoxifcation synthetic and biotransformation to finish, so, obtain and cultivate a large amount of exogenous hepatocyte for a long time, be the key of BALSS technology.
In application number was 94192400.9 Chinese invention patent prospectus, a kind of " artificial liver device and be used for blood and the method for blood plasma purging in vitro " disclosed.Artificial liver device in this application is exactly that a kind of Biotype artificial rami hepatici is held system, the effect of this device is to make patient's blood/plasma by being applied in the boundling fiber pipe made from semipermeable membrane in culture fluid and the exogenous hepatocellular bioreactor is housed, make soluble protein, glucose and toxicant etc. in the blood/plasma, seeing through semipermeable membrane is diffused in the culture fluid, detoxify and metabolism by exogenous hepatocyte, finish liver function.
