Objective To observe the effect of home nursing based upon protocol nursing theory on liq-uid intake compliance improvement of patients undergoing hemedialysis. Methods Forty-eight HD patients of hquid intake un-compliance were randomized into the observation group and the control group with 24 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, the observation group was given home care instruc-tion based upon protocol nursing theory for 1 month. The two groups both received follow-up for 3 months and their liquid intake comphance were evaluated before and after intervention. The relationship between family sup-port and relative increase of body weight during hemodialysis was also evaluated. Results The IDGW relative magnitude was lower, the compliance of liquid intake was higher, the level of family support was higher in the observation group than those of the control group. There was negative correlation between the family support and the IDGW relative magnitude the IDGW relative magnitude, family support, comphance of liquid intake. Conclusions Home care nursing based upon nursing theory facilitate patients to get effect family support, increase the compliance of hquid intake and make IDGW within desirable range.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of kidney transplantation of small pediatric donors to pediatric recipients.Method A retrospective analysis of 48 kidney transplants from small pediatric donors into pediatric recipients was performed.Result Based on the transplantation types,the patients were divided into two groups:the single kidney transplantation (SKT) group and the en bloc kidney transplantation (EBKT) group.SKT was performed on 36 patients and EBKT on 12 patients.In the SKT group,postoperative complications included vascular thrombosis in 1 case (2.8%),primary disease recurrence in 1 case (2.8%),ureteral stenosis in 1 case (2.8%),delayed graft function in 17 cases (47.3 %) and acute rejection in 4 cases (11.1 %).In the EBKT group,postoperative complications included vascular thrombosis in 4 cases (33.3%),urine leak in 2 cases (16.7%),delayed graft function in 2 cases (16.7%) and acute rejection in 2 cases (16.7%).At last follow-up,patient survivals were 100% in both groups,whereas graft survival was 94.4% (34/36) in the SKT group and 75% (9/12) in the EBKT group.The mean serum creatinine in the SKT and EBKT group was (68.4 ± 22.1) and (55.8 ± 16.7) μmol/L,respectively.Conclusion Favorable outcomes can be obtained from transplantation from small pediatric donors.The use of this donor population for pediatric recipients should be encouraged.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic principle of en-bloc kidney and single kidney transplantation from pediatric donors to pediatric recipients.Method A retrospective analysis of 11 pediatric kidney transplants into pediatric recipients was performed.The age of donors and recipients was 33 days to 48 months,and (9.1 ± 3.4) years (4.6 14.3 years) respectively.Result During the follow-up period of 1 to 22 months,the patient survival rate was 100%.Complications included delayed graft function in 1 case (managed by peritoneal dialysis),urine leak in 2 cases (treated by reoperation),hydronephrosis in 2 cases (treated by extracting ureteral catheter) and vascular thrombosis in 1 case.Due to thrombosis,one graft was lost.Of the remaining 10 recipients,all had excellent long-term function.At the last follow-up,their serum creatinine levels were 65.5 ±13.6 μmol/L (49-83μmol/L),and transplanted renal ultrasound examination showed no abnormality.Conclusion Kidney grafts from pediatric donors can be successfully transplanted to pediatric recipients,but the therapeutic principle is different from that in adult kidney transplantation.

Objective To investigate whether the pretreatment of SS31 could alleviate hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced injury by inhibiting p66Shc.Method The cultured rat renal proximal tubular cell line NRK52E cells were exposed to 24-h hypoxia (5% CO2,1% O2,and 94% N2) followed by 6-h reoxygenation (5% CO2,21% O2,and 74% N2).SS31 was added to the culture medium 4 h prior to the treatment.Then the cell viability,apoptosis,ROS and MTP were determined.In addition,Western blotting was used to detect the expression of p66Shc and p-p66Shc.Result H/R induced apoptotic cell death,accompanied with activation of total and p-p66Shc in NRK52E cells.Total p66Shc and p-p66Shc were detected at low levels in control NRK52E cells,and their levels were dramatically increased in cells after H/R treatment.Pretreatment with 100 μmol/L SS31 significantly prevented cell death and attenuated total p66Shc and p-p66Shc levels after H/R.Conclusion This study revealed that SS31 pretreatment serves a protective role against H/R-induced apoptosis of human renal tubular epithelial cells by suppressing p66Shc.
