纽约外科医生成功将一只在转基因猪体内生长的肾脏移植到了人类病人身上，并发现该器官工作正常。这一科学突破有朝一日可能为重症病人带来大量新的器官。
双语阅读
Researchers have long sought to grow organs in pigs that are suitable for transplantation into humans. Technologies like cloning and genetic engineering have brought that vision closer to reality in recent years, but testing these experimental organs in humans has presenteddauntingethical questions.
长期以来，研究人员一直试图在猪身上培育适合移植到人体的器官。近年来，克隆和基因工程等技术使这一愿景更接近现实，但在人类身上测试这些实验器官却存在令人畏缩的伦理问题。
So surgeons at N.Y.U. Langone Health took an astonishing step: With the family’s consent, they attached the pig’s kidney to a brain-dead patient who waskept aliveon aventilator, and then followed the body’s response while taking measures of the kidney’s function. It is the first operation of its kind.
因此，纽约大学朗格尼医学中心的外科医生采取了一项惊人的举措：在征得患者家属同意的情况下，他们将猪的肾连接到一名靠呼吸机维持生命的脑死亡患者身上，然后密切关注身体的反应，同时测量肾脏功能。这是第一次有人进行此类手术。
The researchers tracked the results for just 54 hours, and many questions remained to be answered about the long-term consequences of such an operation. The procedure will not be available to patients any time soon, as there are significant medical and regulatoryhurdlesto overcome. Still, experts in the field hailed the surgery as a milestone.
研究人员仅对结果进行了54个小时的跟踪调查，关于这种手术的长期后果，还有许多问题有待回答。由于有重大的医疗和监管障碍需要克服，该手术短期内不会提供给病人。尽管如此，该领域的专家仍将该手术誉为里程碑。
A steady supply of organs from pigs — which could eventually include hearts, lungs and livers — would offer a lifeline to the more than 100,000 Americans currently on transplant waiting lists, including the 90,240 who need a kidney. Twelve people on the waiting lists die each day.
来自猪的器官（最终可能包括心、肺、肝等脏器）的稳定供应，将为目前等待移植的10万多美国人提供一条生命线，其中包括90240名需要肾脏的人。每一天，等待名单上都有12个会人死去。
An even larger number of Americans with kidney failure — more than a half million — depend ongruelingdialysistreatments to survive. In large part because of the scarcity of human organs, the vast majority of dialysis patients do not qualify for transplants, which are reserved for those most likely to thrive after the procedure. The surgery was first reported by USA Today on Tuesday. The research has not yet beenpeer-reviewednor published in a medical journal.
