Objective To establish a new technique isolating pancreatic islet of langerhans and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of adult islet transplantation.Methods Pancreases were stored using the "2-layer method" of the oxygenated perfluorochemical (PFC) and UW solution. The Pancreases were digested by Liberase collagenase enzyme and purified using continuous gradients of Ficoll-diatrizoic acid on a refrigerated COBE 2991 centrifuge to separate the islets. Cultured islets were infused by surgical approach to the liver via portal vasculature. Clinical metabolic data such as blood glucose, dose of insulin, C-peptide, HbA1c, liver function and renal function, was determined and compared with the pre-transplant data.Results Islets of langerhans were isolated successfully in 42 pancreases. The average of islet yield was 285000 islet equivalents(IEQ). Islet purity and viability were 95.7%, 93.2%, respectively. The stimulation index(SI) as assessing function of human islet was 2.43 and negative-etiology in vivo. Twenty clinical islet transplant infusions have been carried out in 11 subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM). The average islet mass for infusion was 11200 IEQ/kg. The treatment strategies for islet transplantation was glucocorticoid-free immunosuppressive regimen. During 7 months to 4 years follow-up, 7 recipients had insulin independence, the dosage of insulin decreased by 60% in 4 patients after islet transplantation. The level of blood glucose and HbA1c, liver and renal function were normalized throughout follow-up period. All patients had C-peptide positive after islet transplantation. No adverse effects and complications related to islet infusion procedure.Conclusions New technique has proved to be suitable for isolating pancreatic islet of langerhans. Adult islet transplantation can be used as an effective and safe way for treating T1DM.

Their differences were revealed. The amount of borne0l and isob-orneol in the samples were determined.

Objective To discuss the clinical features of primary epididymal rhabdomyosarcoma and review the diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Methods One 16-yesr-old male presented with right scro-turn swelling mass for 4 months. Physical examination revealed an ovoid and solid mass of 4.5×3.5×3.0 cn in right scrotum. The mass was hard and its surface was smooth without tenderness. Transillumination test was negative. There was no palpable inguinal lymph node. Pre-operative diagnosis was inflammatory nodule of right epididymis. Results Right epididymectomy was performed under caudal anesthesia une-ventfully. The pathological study showed that the neoplasm was composed of small round shape ceils with small and anachromasis nucleus. The immunohistochemical study showed that these cells were positive for myoglobin, aetin and desmin, but negative for smooth muscle actin. Electron microscopy showed that paral-leling thin filaments were found with no asrcomere-like structure in the intracytoplasm. The pathologic diag-nosis was right epydidymal rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient refused further therapy. A mass was found with rapid growth accompanied with pain in the right scrotum 2 months after the first operation and was clinically diagnosed as tumor recurrence. This patient had then undergone right radical orchiectomy. Frozen section analysis revealed negative surgical margin. The pathologic diagnosis was embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma re-currence. Patient underwent subsequent chemotherapy with ifosfamide, etoposide and vincristine. After one year follow-up, he was generally well without evidence of recurrence. Conculsions Primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare tumor with aggressive growth patterns. The diagnosis depends on the pathologi-cal examination because the clinical presentation is not specific. Combination therapy with radical orchiecto-my, chemotherapy and radiotherapy provides patients an excellent long-term prognosis.

Objective To establish methodology to detect telomerase activity based on real-time quantitative PCR technique combined with telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP). Methods RQ-TRAP system was developed by combining real-time quantitative PCR technique with conventional TRAP method. Telomerase activity was assessed and compared by RQ-TRAP assay and TRAP connected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TRAP-ELISA) respectively in 12 kinds of cells. Results The RQ-TRAP method was both accurate and specified in measuring telomerase activity in a series dilution of protein extracts from 293T cells. The sensitivity of this method was 8 cells and the amplification efficiency was 98.92%. Telomerase activity was not detected in negative control group. Statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between the two assays (r2=0.762 5). Conclusion The feasibility of RQ-TRAP was proved in this article. Compared with TRAP-ELISA, RQ-TRAP has many advantages. Apart from sample extraction and real-time PCR cycling, no other extra time-consuming steps are needed for telomerase quantification;RQ-TRAP is less costly and more rapid and reliable than TRAP-ELISA for quantification of telomerase activity and it also support high throughput.

Objective To evaluate the values of cell-mediated immune function in elderly renal allograft recipients.Method The levels of immuknowTM ATP was sequentially monitored by means of Cylex immuknowTM assay in 52 elderly renal allograft recipients including 11 with infection and 8 with acute rejection.Results No statistically significant difference was found between stable allograt function and uremia (P＞0.05).The levels of immuknowTM ATP during infection was significantly lower than those with stable allograft function with acute rejection (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of immuknowTM ATP during acute rejection was significantly higher than those with stable allograft function with infection (P＜0.01).Conclusion Sequential monitoring of immuknowTM ATP is helpful for elderly renal allograft recipients in individualized immunosuppression therapy.Cylex immuknowTM assay can be used as a potent tool for assessment of high risk in infection and rejection.
