Objective To evaluate the postoperative prognosis of the modification of diet in renal disease formula (MDRD) in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in hospital or 4 years after hospitalization. Methods Two hundred and seventy-two CABG patients were divided into 3 groups according to the levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) including 35 cases in eGFR < 60 ml/min group, 119 cases in 60 ≤ eGFR < 90 mL/min group and 118 cases in eGFR ≥90 ml/min group. The prognostic factors of CABG patients were analyzed by COX proportional hazards models. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare survival curves among the three groups stratified by eGFR levels. The Log-rank statistic was used for comparing between groups. Results By multivariate COX regression adjustment for body mass index, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipaemia, diabetes mellitus, previous MI, perioperative PCI and etc. , the relative risk (RR) of the increasing age for cardiac events was 1.077(95% CI 1.002-1.158,P =0.044). RR of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 0.005(95% CI 0.000-0.456,P =0.022). RR of eGFR was 0.968(95% CI 0.948-0.988,P =0.002). The survival rate in the first, second, third and fourth year were same in every group. The survival rate of group with eGFR < 60 ml/min, 60 ≤ eGFR < 90 ml/min and eGFR≥ 90 mL/min was 76.4%, 93.1%, and 96.6%. The survival rates among three groups were statistically significant. In the survival curve of 4 year follow-up after CABG, the survival rate of group with eGFR < 60 mL/min was lower than that of 60 ≤ eGFR < 90 ml/min group and eGFR ≥ 90 ml/min group. Conclusions The preoperative eGFR is an independent risk factor in evaluating cardiac events in hospital and after hospitalization. It has a higher prognosis value in patients undergoing CABG.

OBJECTIVETo label embryonic stem (ES) cells with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) on the hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) gene locus for the first time to provide a convenient and efficient way for cell tracking and manipulation in the studies of transplantation and stem cell therapy.
METHODSHomologous fragments were obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), from which the gene targeting vector pHPRT-EGFP was constructed. The linearized vector was introduced into ES cells by electroporation. The G418(r)6TG(r) cell clones were obtained after selection with G418 and 6TG media. The integration patterns of these resistant cell clones were identified with Southern blotting.
RESULTSEGFP expressing ES cells on the locus of HPRT were successfully generated. They have normal properties, such as karyotype, viability and differentiation ability. The green fluorescence of EGFP expressing cells was maintained in propagation of the ES cells for more than 30 passages and in differentiated cells. Cultured in suspension, the "green" ES cells aggregated and formed embryoid bodies, retaining the green fluorescence at varying developmental stages. The "green" embryoid bodies could expand and differentiate into various types of cells, exhibiting ubiquitous green fluorescence.
CONCLUSIONSThis generation of "green" targeted ES cells is described in an efficient protocol for obtaining the homologous fragments by PCR. Introducing the marker gene in the genome of ES cells, we should be able to manipulate them in vitro and use them as vehicles in cell-replacement therapy as well as for other biomedical and research purposes.
