Objective To explore the relationship between platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and microangiopathyin type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods In this case-control study, the clinical data on 428 adult patients with type 2 diabetic microangiopathy in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. PLR, age, sex, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol and triglyceride were tested to investigate their relationship with type 2 diabetic microangiopathy. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that PLR was a risk factor of type 2 diabetic microangiopathy (OR = 3.162, 95%CI:1.556 ~ 7.421, P < 0.05). Conclusions Greater PLR is closely related to type 2 diabetic microangiopathy, and we should pay attention to type 2 diabetic microangiopathy with a greater PLR in clinical practice.

Objectives:To detect the relationship between cerebrovascular function and the disease term in type 2 diabetes. Methods:A total of 38 type 2 diabetes patients and 17 health control subjects entered the study. Patients were divided into two groups: those with long term diabetes and those with short term diabetes. Mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery(MCA),internal carotid artery(ICA), anterior cerebral artery(ACA),basilar artery(BA) and pulsatility index(PI) were measured with a transcranial Doppler probe and the breathlolding index(BHI) were calculated. Results:V MCA and V BA in the long term DM group was significantly greater than those in the short term group and the control group( P

Objective To investigate the compensatory changes in morphology,function,and hemodynamic indices of the retained kidney after nephrectomy among living related donors.Method The 170 living related kidney donors underwent assessments before surgery as well as at 1st and 12th month,postoperatively,including length,width,short diameter,glomerular filtration rate (GFR),effective renal plasma flow (ERPF),peak systolic blood flow velocity (Vsmax),resistance index (RI),as well as pulsatility indices (PI) of main renal artery (MRA),segmental renal artery (SRA),and interlobar renal artery (IRA).Results All subjects were followed up for 9 to 68 months,with no observed hypertension or kidney failure.The length,width,and short diameters of the retained kidney were increased significantly (P＜0.01) at 1st and 12th month postoperatively.The renal sizes at 1st month postoperation were similar to that at 12th month postoperation (P＞0.05).GFR and ERPF were increased significantly as compared with preoperative values (P＜0.01) with similar values at postoperative month 1 and 12 (P＞0.05).The Vsmax of MRA,SRA,and IRA in the retained kidney were increased significantly (P＜0.01),and the RI and PI were also increased as compared with the preoperative values (P＜0.05),albeit these indicators were similar at postoperative months 1 and 12 (P＞0.05).Conclusion For all subjects studied after unilateral nephrectomy in a living related donor,the diameter of the retained kidney as well as the GFR and ERPF showed compensatory increases.Various arterial hemodynamic parameters also showed compensatory changes.Under strict donor inclusion criteria,living related kidney donor procedures is safe.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of low dose Peginterferon-alpha-2a (PEG-INF-α-2a) combined with Ribavirin treating chronic hepatitis C in renal transplant recipients.Methods A total of 13 cases of HCV hepatitis were randomly divided into treatment and control groups.Seven cases in treatment group were given PEG-INF-α-2a (90 μg/week) and ribavirin (600mg/day) for 16 to 48 weeks,and the rest 6 cases in control group were subjected to general liver protection and anti-inflammatory treatment. All patients were followed up for more than 2 years.Results There were 5 cases getting early response in treatment group for 16 weeks,including four cases of complete response and no non-effects response patients. In 4 cases voluntarily receiving treatment for 48 weeks,1 case had facial muscle myalgia and increased Cr level at 35th week,humoral graft rejection was confirmed pathologically,and the treatment was terminated; 1 case had recurrence of HCV RNA replication and PEG-INF-α-2a was withdrawn at 38th week.As results,5 patients in the treatment group obtained complete response after two years,including 2 cases whose HCV-IgG had got negative,HCV RNA replication was significantly lower than in the control group,and the average Cr higher than in control group (P＞ 0.05). There were adverse reactions during this treatment protocol: fever,muscle myalgia,agranulocytosis, anemia and humoral graft rejection.Conclusion The efficacy of low lose PEG-INF α-2a combined with ribavirin is definite in the treatment of chronic HCV hepatitis in kidney transplant recipients.The 16-week treatment duration is reasonable.It is remarkable that PEG-INF-α-2a may cause humoral graft rejection and Cr crawling.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord blood bilirubin for pathological jaundice in healthy term newborns. Methods Two ml navel string vein blood of baby were collected after giving birth in the normal newborn, and the hemobilirubin was detected by accidentally oxidation method. After birth, the infant's bilirubin level was tested on the forehead by the transcutaneous bilirubinometer at 8:00 -9:00 every morning until discharging from hospital. The ration of pathological jaundice of newborn and its treatment were analyzed in different levels of cord blood hemobilirubin. Results Fifty-nine cases ( 22.96% ) with pathological jaundice were diagnosed in 257 newboms.The concentration of cord blood hemobilirubin in baby with pathological jaundice [(39.68 ±8.10) μmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the normal newborn [(30.05 ±5.51) μmol/L](P＜0.01). As the concentration of cord blood hemobilirubin was increased, the incidence of pathological jaundice was raised (P＜ 0.01), and the cases that needed to intervention treatment was increased(P＜ 0.01). Conclusion The detection of the level of cord blood hemobilirubin is not only very worthy to estimate the occurrence of pathological jaundice of newborn, but also offer reliable evidence for clinical early diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND:Chronic al ograft nephropathy is a complication of kidney transplantation and most of patients wil eventual y develop transplant kidney dysfunction. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as a low immunogenicity special cellpopulation have been shown to have differentiation, transdifferentiation, paracrine and other basic functions, which have been successful used in other clinical areas. Based on this characteristic, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells may play a therapeutic role in chronic al ograft nephropathy. OBJECTIVE:To study the safety and feasibility of autologus bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation via renal artery infusion and subsequent intravenous infusion guided by the digital subtraction angiography in the treatment of chronic al ograft nephropathy. METHODS:Eleven patients with chronic al ograft nephropathy who were confirmed from March 2011 to January 2013 were enrol ed, and then received transplant renal artery infusion once guided by the digital subtraction angiography and subsequent intravenous infusion twice of bone marrow mesechymal stem cells. Changes in serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine clearance, cystatin C, 24-hour urine protein, andβ2 microglobulin in the blood and urinary were monitored in patients up to 1 year after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bleeding, transplant renal artery embolization, pseudoaneurysm and other related complications were not found in any of the 11 patients. The levels of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and cystatin C were significantly decreased at 1 week and 1 month after celltherapy (P<0.05), while after 3 months of treatment, there was no difference before and after treatment (P>0.05). The creatinine clearance at 1 week and 1 month after treatment showed a remarkable increase, which were significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05), but after 3 months of treatment, the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The level of 24-hour urine protein was significantly decreased after 7 days of treatment (P<0.05), and no difference was found after 1 month (P>0.05). The level ofβ2 microglobulin in the blood and urinary had no changes before and after treatment. These findings indicate that guided by the digital subtraction angiography, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via the renal artery infusion and subsequent intravenous infusion can improve kidney function of patients, but the celldosage and infusion method remain to be solved.

Objective To analyze clinical outcomes of the spouse donor kidney transplantation for evaluating the security.Methods Sixty-three cases of living-renal transplantation were divided into two groups, spouse donor group (12 cases) and the other related donor group (53 cases). Twelve cases of spouse-donor(SD)renal transplantation were summarized, that were compared with the nospouse transplantation cases of the other living-related renal transplantation in the same period, which were similar in basic conditions and in immunosuppressant scheme. The observational parameters included average hospitalization time, rate of acute renal necrosis, acute rejection incidence within 1 year, serum creatinine at 7 d, 30 d and 1 year after transplantation.Results The recipient age of the 2 groups was (39±3)years and (37±3)years(P=0.05), dialysis time was (4.7±3.2)months and (4.4±2.9)months(P=0.78), the average hospitalization time was (20.9±8.3)d and (23.0±7.8)d(P=0.41). There was no significant difference between the spouse donor group and the no spouse related donor group. The acute rejection incidence within 1 year was 33.3%(4/12) in spouse group and 3. 9%(2/51) in the other related group, there was significant difference between the 2 groups(P＜0.05). The rate of acute renal necrosis was 16.7%(2/12) in spouse group and 3.9%(2/15)in no spouse related group, there was no significant different between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).SCr was (206.47±47.22)μmol/L and (163. 75±25.91)μmol/L in spouse group at post-operation 7 d and 30 d, and was (142.79±89.42)μmol/L and (119. 99±15.03)μmol/L in no spouse group. There was significant difference between the groups(P=0.02, P=0.00). One year after operation, SCr was (133. 40±6. 11)μmol/L in spouse group and (121. 00±34.12)μmol/L in no spouse group,there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P=0.25).Conclusions Preoperative comprehensive assessment of the spouse donors and recipients renal transplantation is the guarantee for the success.Short-term outcomes of spouse donor renal transplantation is ideal, but rate of acute rejection within 1 year is higher than that of the other living-relative donor kidney transplantation, which dose not influence the long-time survival of spouse recipients.

Objective To analyze the clinical outcomes and evaluate the safety of living related live donors in kidney transplantation.Methods One hundre and thirty-two cases of living related donors were studied retrospectively for psychological and physiological parameters. The parameters including life quality, urinalysis, serum biochemistry tests, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and endogenous creatinine clearance rate (CCr) were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference between living related donors and normal people in the aspect of life quality. In living related donors,SCr was (78.33±15.94)μmol/L before operation and was (108.49±19.88)μmol/L at 7 days postoperation, P＜0.05. SCr was (112.47±20. 38)μmol/L at 6 months post-operation. There was no significant difference in SCr levels between 7 days and 6 months post-operation (P=0. 109). CCr was (95.80±20.92)ml/min in pre-operation and was (57.36±14. 92)ml/min at 7 days post-operation,P＜0.05. CCr was (65. 49±8. 25) ml/min at 6 months post-operation. There was no significant difference in CCr between 7 days and 6 months post-operation.The pre-operative total GFR was(74.08±18.51)ml/min. Of which, the right kidney GFR was (38.43±10.33)ml/min. The residual right kidney GFR was (56. 49±13. 01 ) ml/min 6 months after operation, which decreased 17. 59 ml/min (23.8%) compared with pre-operative total GFR (P＜0.05) and increased 18. 06 ml/min (47.0%) compared to the pre-operative right kidney GFR. Surgical complications included 1 case of splenectomy, 1 case of descending colon rupture and 5 cases of wound fat liquefactions.Conclusion Pre-operatively systemic psychological and physiological evaluation on living related donors, detailed consent consultation, standardized operating techniques, careful perioperative management and strict follow-up can improve the safety of living related donors.

Some studies indicate that adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can differentiate into adipogenic, chondrogenic, myogenic, and osteogenic cells in vitro. However, whether ADSCs can be induced to differentiate into neural cells in vitro has not been clearly demonstrated. In this study, the ADSCs isolated from the murine adipose tissue were cultured and transfected with the EGFP gene, and then the cells were induced for neural differentiation. The morphology of those ADSCs began to change within two days which developed into characteristics of round cell bodies with several branching extensions, concomitantly expressing EGFP fluorescence. Approximately 60% of the total cell populations were bipolar or multipolar in shape. Some of them appeared to make contact with their neighboring cells. RT-PCR, Western blot and Immunocytochemistry revealed that the expression levels of the markers of neurons and oligodendrocytes such as MAP2, NF-70, Neu N and RIP upon neural induction were increased, but the expression of the special marker of astrocytes, GFAP, was undetectable until 96 h after induction when a small signal was observed. It was concluded that the ADSCs transfected with EGFP possessed the ability to undergo morphologic and phenotypic changes consistent with neural differentiation in vitro. It suggests that these cells might provide an ideal source for further stem cell research with possible therapeutic application for spinal cord injury.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of detecting cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ) and CK -MB in children with hand-foot-and-mouth disease and myocardial injury.Methods 90 children with hand-foot-and-mouth disease (observation group) were detected the level of serum cTnⅠ and CK-MB.At the same time,40 healthy children were chosen as control group.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of CK-MB and cTnl in observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =8.92,5.46,all P ＜ 0.01),which indicated that children with hand,foot and mouth disease was easier to merge myocardial injury.CK-MB and cTnl levels in high-risk group were significantly higher than those in normal children group (t =9.17,6.13,all P ＜ 0.01),and the levels of CK-MB and cTnl were positively correlated with severe degree (r =0.767,0.683,all P ＜ 0.01).For children with hand,foot and mouth disease merged myocarditis,cTnl diagnostic sensitivity (53.8％) was lower than that of CK-MB diagnostic sensitivity (71.8％),but the specificity was better than that of CK-MB,and the diagnosis of cTnl detection window 2 weeks longer than CK-MB,but after 2 weeks both lose their clinical diagnostic significance.Conclusion Children with hand,foot and mouth disease easily merge myocardial damage,dynamic measuring CK-MB and cTnl levels could help early diagnosis of children with hand,foot and mouth disease whether merged myocardial damage,both applications can also complement each other,more timely and accurate reflection of disease progression and recovery,it is worth promoting.
