ABSTRACT

China donation after citizens' death (CDCD) has already entered a new historical era,and the donation after brain death plus cardiac death (DBCD),which refers to the transition from brain death to cardiac death,is most widely used.The various pathological and physiological changes have an influence on donor organs,which could not be ignored.So the research on the effects of donor brain death for CDCD liver transplantation will be of great significance.Here we discussed the CDCD initiation and its classification,and the necessity and application of establishing a donation after brain death (DBD) animal model to clarify the relationship between DBD and CDCD liver transplantation and thus to enlighten future studies.
