Researchers change blood type of donor kidneys
剑桥大学研究员成功改变三个捐赠肾脏血型
Researchers at the University of Cambridge successfully changed the blood type of three donor kidneys, improving chances for patients waiting to find a matching transplant.
剑桥大学的研究人员成功地改变了三个捐赠肾脏的血型，该研究提高了患者匹配移植的机会。
A patient with blood type A cannot transplant their kidney to someone with blood type B, and vice versa.
A型血的患者不能将自己的肾脏移植给B型血的患者，反之亦然。
But altering the kidney's blood type to the universal O could allow more transplants to take place, since it can be used for people with any blood type.
但是将肾脏的血型改变为通用的O型可以提高移植的机会，因为它可以用于任何血型的人。
Researchers used a normothermic perfusion machine, which preserves kidneys by passing oxygenated blood infused with an enzyme through the organ.
研究人员使用了常温灌流仪，它用含有特定酶的血液冲洗捐赠的肾脏从而更好的保存该器官。
The enzyme removes blood type markers in the kidney's blood vessels, which then converts the organ to O type.
这种酶去除肾脏血管中的血型标记，从而将其转换为O型血。
