With the gradual deepening of the reform in the medical and health system, reform and innovation inside hospitals have come to carry increasingly great weight. In light of their hospital's practical experience and proceeding from factors that affect innovation, the process of innovation and the links of innovation, the authors put forward ways for hospital innovation and the principles that ought to be adhered to. They argue that in striving for innovation, hospitals should first of all give priority to the building of the contingents of department heads and young and middle aged key professional and technological members, set forth an advanced operating strategy and goal, highlight innovation through science and technology, and create a sound environment for innovation. On the basis of establishing an effective mechanism for innovation, hospitals ought to stick to the principles of humanistic management, close attention to the actual conditions and objective evaluation.

Objective To evaluate the curative effects of conversion from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) on MMF-related chronic diarrhea in the renal transplant (RT) recipients of long-term stage following transplantation.Methods Twenty-six RT recipients with persistent and severe diarrhea,diagnosed as MMF-related diarrhea after a systemic examining procedure including macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracks,serology of the blood for CMV and culture of stool for the bacteria.In all the 26 recipients,the dosage of MMF was reduced to 250 mg,twice every day for 2 weeks.Those without significant improvement at the end of this period were shifted to EC-MPS at a dose of 180 mg,twice every day for 2 weeks.The EC-MPS dose was increased to 360 mg,twice every day if the symptoms were improved significantly at the third week after conversion,or EC-MPS was withdrawn if the diarrhea still existed.The dosage of EC-MPS would be reduced to 180 mg,twice every day if the diarrhea recurred in the next 3 months. The clinical symptoms,biological parameters and renal function were observed for 3 months after the conversion.Results ( 1 ) All the 26 recipients were switched to EC-MPS because of the persistent existence of diarrhea after reduction of MMF.After conversion,the diarrhea disappeared completely in 19 out of the 26 recipients in 2 weeks and 2 patients also showed significantly improvement of diarrhea with the total efficiency being 80.8% (21/26).In the rest 5 cases,EC-MPS was withdrawn at the second week; (2) The disturbance of internal environment was improved significantly following the EC-MPS conversion.Serum potassium,sodium and TCO2 were elevated to normal level.The benefit was predominantly observed in the recipients with moderate to severe proteinuria.The 24-h urinary protein secretion was significantly reduced from 0.76±0.48 to 0.46±0.53 (g/24 h) (P<0.05) at the third month.Conclusion In RT recipients with MMF-related chronic diarrhea after long-term stage following renal transplantation,switching MMF to EC-MPS can significantly alleviate the diarrhea and rectify the imbalance of internal environment of the recipients.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of combined liver and kidney transplantation (CLKT). Methods CLKT was performed on 22 patients. The orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) was preceded with the classic fashion in 10 patients and piggyback fashion in 12 patients. The renal allograft was implanted to the iliac fossa routinely. After operation, the patients received an induction therapy with anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody or antithymocyte globulin ( ATG) and a maintenance therapy with tacrolimus (Tac), mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone. Results The CLKT was successfully performed on all 22 patients, and the graft function was restored well postoperation. During the perioperative period, an acute rejection episode of liver occurred in one patient and acute renal allograft rejection episode in 2 patients. The Tac toxicity occurred in one patient. The hemorrhage of digestive tract occurred in one recipient and the hemorrhage of peritoneal cavity in one patient. The pleural effusion occurred in 6 recipients. The pneumonia occurred in 2 cases and the peritoneal infection in one patient During a follow-up period of 6 months to 7 years 11 months, three patients died because of cytomegalovirus pneumonia in 2 patients and acute myocardial infarction in, one patient, The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate of recipients was 86,4 %, 81.3 %, 72.7 % respectively. Conclusion The CLKT is an effective method for treatment of patients with end-stage liver djsease and chronic renal failure.

Objective To explore the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients who developed urinary and male genital cancers after transplantation. Methods Data of 31 kidney transplant recipients developed de novo urinary and male genital cancer were compared with data of 31 patients in general population with the same age and same tumor stage. Results Compared with the general population, the overall survival was significantly worse in the transplant recipients (P=0. 02) , 5-year survival rates for each group were 50% vs 68%. Multivariate analyses demonstrated cancer stage to be a negative risk factor for survival for transplant recipients with de novo urinary and male genital cancer, and surgery and functioning graft to be the positive survival predictors. Conclusions Transplant recipients experience worse outcomes than the general population from urinary and male genital cancers. Cancers in transplant recipients are more biologically aggressive at the time of diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors for standard TAC-related nephrotoxicity in renal transplant recipients. MethodsClinical data of 132 patients in TAC-based regiment with a dose of 0. 15-0.3 mg· kg-1 · day-1 and a trough level of 8-11 μg/L during first 2 years post renal transplantation, were retrospectively analyzed. TAC-related nephrotoxicity was diagnosed by renal biopsy and/or clinical criteria. All recipients were divided into 2 groups: TAC nephrotoxicity group (n = 25) and control group (n = 107). Logistic regression analysis was used to rank the relative risk of potential variables including age, gender, delayed graft function (DGF), drug exposure, duration of therapy,liver function, albumin level, hematocrit and gene polymorphism for CYP3A5 and MDR1.ResultsTAC-related nephrotoxicity was found in 25 (18. 9 % ) recipients. Univariate and Logistic regression analysis revealed that the influencing factors for TAC-related nephrotoxicity with a standard immunosuppressive regimen and a normal trough level range were identified as: abnormal liver function (RR = 3. 05,95 % CI 0. 879-11. 533, P = 0. 024), albumin level (RR = 0. 966,95 % CI 0. 994-1. 006, P = 0. 018 ), hematocrit ( RR = 0. 999, 95 % CI 0. 998-1. 000, P = 0. 032), CYP3A5 gene polymorphism (RR= 0. 777,95 % CI 0. 023-6. 798,P= 0. 032) ,and MDR1 gene polymorphism (RR=0. 654,95 % CI 0. 053-7. 109, P = 0. 017). ConclusionLiver function, albumin level, hematocrit, and gene polymorphism for CYP3A5and MDR1as well are influencing factors for TAC-related nephrotoxicity in renal transplant recipients with a standard immunosuppressive regimen and a normal trough level range,in which abnormal liver function is the most important adverse risk factor. These factors should be considered for better individual therapy in renal transplant recipients.
