Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2010;31(5):284-286
Objective To discuss the optimal occasions for CsA withdrawal after kidney transplantation. Methods Thirty-eight cases of kidney transplantations in out-clinic were included in this study. CsA was withdrawn in their immunosuppressive regimen owing to different reasons after operation.All patients were followed up at least 2 years after operation, and followed up more than 12 months after CsA withdrawal. All patients were divided to two groups: Group A (18 cases), control group; group B (20cases), the CsA withdrawal owing its side effects. Acute rejection rate, SCr, uromicroprotein and side effects were analyzed in order to find the optimal occasions for CsA withdrawal Results CsA was re-administered in 9 cases (50 0/4) owing to different reasons in Group A. In group B, CsA was withdrawn due to gradually increased Scr and proteinuria in 12 cases, CsA related acute toxidty in 2 cases, hepatic injury in 8 cases and other reasons in 2 cases, After withdrawal of CsA, renal function was improved and hepatic injuries were recovered. Conclusion The suitable opportunity for CsA withdrawal for long-term survival patients should be at the beginning of gradually increased Scr and/or proteinuria. For the patients with normal and stable renal function and having no CsA related side effects, small dosage (1.5-2. 0 mg/kg)of CsA was the choice for the maintenance therapy.

Objective To investigate the changes of anticardiolipin antibody(ACA) and protein C(PC) in cirrhotic patients with or without portal vein thrombosis(PVT). Methods During Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2007, 60 cirrhotic patients with (n=20) or without (n=40) PVT were analyzed. The concentrations of prothrombin time (PT), activited patial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrogen, ACA and protein C (PC) were determined. Results The positive rate of ACA was 35% (7/20) in PVT group and 10% (4/40) in control group (P=0.045). The average level of ACA-IgG was significantly higher in PVT group [(10.15±5.31)U/ml] than that in control group [(6.70±3.75) U/ml]. The concentration of PC was significantly lower in PVT group [(2.47±0.62) mg/L] than that in control group [(2.93±0.88)mg/L]. No difference was found in APTT, levels of fibrogen and ACA-IgM between two groups. PT and APTT were progressively prolonged and fibrogen and PC were decreasing with the severity of Child-Pugh, respectively. The levels of ACA-IgG and ACA-IgM were increasing with the severity of Child-Pugh. Conclusions The coagulation and anticoagulation system is abnormal in patients with PVT who has higer ACA-IgG level and lower PC level. It is indicated that the ACA and PC may play an important role in formation of PVT.

Objective To investigate the relationship of thyroid hormone (TH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and blood calcium in hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) patients. Methods Fifty patients with HLAP were selected, among whom 37 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) were enrolled into MAP group, and 13 patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) were enrolled into MSAP group. The albumin, blood glucose, creatinine, blood lipids, blood calcium, free tri-iodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and TSH levels were measured and analyzed. Results The blood calcium, FT3 and TSH levels in MAP group were significantly higher than those in MSAP group:(2.02 ± 0.26) mmol/L vs. (1.75 ± 0.27) mmol/L, (1.88 ± 0.46) ng/L vs. (1.52 ± 0.35) ng/L and (0.28 ± 0.20) mU/L vs. (0.17 ± 0.12) mU/L, but the blood glucose and triglycerides (TG) levels were significantly lower than those in MSAP group: (13.36 ± 5.83) mmol/L vs. (19.99 ± 7.97) mmol/L and (24.01±12.46) mmol/L vs. (34.76 ± 20.39) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01 or<0.05). There were no statistical differences in albumin, creatinine, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and FT4 levels between 2 groups (P>0.05). The correlation analysis result showed: in patients with HLAP, TSH and albumin had a positive correlation with blood calcium (r=0.344 and 0.372, P=0.014 and 0.008), LDL-C and TG had negative correlation with blood calcium (r=-0.315 and-0.444, P=0.026 and 0.001), and other indexes had no correlation with blood calcium (P>0.05). Conclusions Blood calcium, FT3 and TSH levels are decreased with severity of HLAP. Decreased blood calcium may be one of reasons for decreased TSH in HLAP patients.

Objective To explore MRI appearances of malignant mixed mesodermal tumors (MMMT) of the uterus. Methods All 9 patients with MMMT were proved by pathology. MRI characteristics of MMMTs in 9 patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 9 MMMTs,6 were uterus body-based and 3 were cervical-based.Body-based MMMTs tended to be expansive or infiltrative growth with expanded uterus cavity. Cervical-based.MMMTs tended to be exophytic growth without myometrial infiltration. The tumors presented iso- or low signal on T1WI. The body-based MMMTs presented heterogeneously hyper-intense on T2WI ( n =5 ),hemorrhage ( n =1 ),cystic degeneration and necrosis (n =5) were seen within the tumors. Cervical-based MMMTs presented relative hyper-intense signal on T2WI with band or tree-like hypo-intense signal,without hemorrhage and necrosis. Body-based MMMTs were enhanced more obviously than cervical-based MMMTs.Conclusions The growth pattern,MRI signal and enhancement characteristics of cervix and uterus body MMMTs are different. MRI is helpful for the diagnosis of MMMT.
