    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1991 Jun; 104(6):487-90. PubMed ID: 1874024.
    Abstract:
    Eight patients with Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome received adrenal homograft for 9 times after total adrenalectomy. All patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years. Symptoms and signs were improved without the supplement of steroids. The grafts showed satisfactory endocrinal functions in the recipients, but the grafts were dead in two patients 2 and 4 years after operation respectively. One of the two patients received the second homograft with good result. Single perfusion and ice-storage method of the all-adrenal gland and their clinical results were also presented.
