LONDON (Reuters) - New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French-Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities, researchers said on Thursday.
The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long-lasting without major problems, two separate research teams reported in the Lancet medical journal.
Despite recurrent episodes of tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants, neither man had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society, they reported.
Only three people have received face transplants. The world's first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog. Last year, her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily, overcoming two episodes of rejection
In 2006, Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old mauled by a bear. While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation, two years later the man was doing well, his doctors said.
"This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face, and could enable patients to readily reintegrate themselves back into society," Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing hospital in China wrote.
A French team described their work on a 29-year-old man who suffered from von Recklinghausen disease, an illness that deforms the face. The man, who was not named, was given a new nose, mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.
He began work 13 months after the transplant, has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue, his doctors said.
"Our case confirms that face transplantation is surgically feasible and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement," Dr. Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri-Mondor hospital outside Paris wrote.

研究表明面部移植行得通
LONDON (Reuters) - New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French-Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities, researchers said on Thursday.
伦敦（路透社）——本周四研究人员表示面部移植行得通。据悉，在分别给一名被熊咬伤面部的中国籍男子和一名因罕见肿瘤而破相的法国-加勒比男子进行面部移植手术后，移植体可以有效的工作，且没有任何医学上的不良反应。
The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long-lasting without major problems, two separate research teams reported in the Lancet medical journal.
两个独立的研究小组在柳叶刀医学杂志上报告说，这一结果提示了移植体可以长期使用而不会引起严重后果，从而给那些面部严重缺陷的人们带来了希望。
Despite recurrent episodes of tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants, neither man had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society, they reported.
报告称，尽管移植体在移植后的一年内反复发生排斥反应，但是这两名男子都没有因为改变了原来的面容而产生心理问题，相反地，已经重新投入到了社会中。

到目前为止，只有三个人接受了面部移植。2005年11月，法国妇女Isabelle Dinoire被她的狗攻击而毁容，随后进行了世界首例面部移植。去年，她的医生报告说，在克服了两次排斥反应后，她已经逐渐康复。
In 2006, Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old mauled by a bear. While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation, two years later the man was doing well, his doctors said.
2006年，中国医生为一位30岁被熊咬伤的男子进行了面部移植。医生说，虽然术后有一些并发症和排斥反应，但是术后两年，患者非常健康。
