Increased Tac blood concentration in SAT group and recovered Tac blood concentration in SATa (n = 3 each group). Compared with WAT group, Tac blood concentration was increased in SAT group after operation (p < 0.05). However, Tac blood concentration kept stable in SATa group after operation and Tac level was significantly lower in SATa group than SAT group at 24, 48, and 72 hs after operation (P < 0.05). AST and bilirubin concentration increased dramatically in SAT and SATa group after operation (n = 3 each group). Compared with WAT group, AST concentration in SAT and SATa group increased dramatically during 48hs after operation (p < 0.01). AST concentration was lower in SATa group than WAT group although there was no significant difference between WAT and WATa groups. Whole size allografrs+Tac (WAT), small-for-size allograft+Tac(SAT), small-for-size allograft+Tac altered dose (SATa)
