Objective To analyze the clinical application of donor specific antibodies (DSAs) detected by a single antigen Luminex virtual crossmatch,and to discuss the treatment of DSA and the impact of DSA on renal function.Methods Serum from living-relative renal recipients before and after transplantation was investigated using a Luminex single antigen assay.The relation between DSA and renal acute rejection as well as renal function was analyzed.Results A total of 30 patients and 173 serum samples were tested,including 47 serum samples before transplantation,and 126 after transplantation.DSA was positive in one patient before transplantation,and 8 patients after transplantation.Three of the patients positive for DSA were treated by Bortezomib,3 by addition of MMF,2 by addition of CNI,1 by addition of Sirolimus.The MFI of DSA in one of the patients treated by Bortezomib was decreased to below 1000,while that in the other two decreased by more than 50 %.The renal eGFR at the time with and without DSA was (1.50 ± 0.59) and (1.23 ± 0.38)ml/s respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of single bead antigen antibody DSA conduces to direct the adjustment of immunosuppressant.The appearance of DSA contributes to the declination of renal function.Application of Bortezomib decreased the MFI of DSA.

Objective To discover more novel bat viruses and molecularly characterize bat-borne bocavirus diversity in Yunnan.Methods Twenty-six Aselliscus stoliczkanus were sampled in Jinghong , Yunnan, and subjected to viral metagenomic analysis.Specific PCR was used to detect any bocavirus in these samples based on the metagenomic result , while full genome was amplified and compared with other bocaviruses .Results and Conclusion Totally, 3 of the 26 (11.5%) bats were positive for bocavirus, the full genome of which contained 5203 nucleotides and could encode NS1, NP and VP1/VP2 proteins.Phylogenetic analysis showed that this virus shared up to 58.7% and 53.3% amino acid identities with canine bocavirus 1 and canine minute virus .According to ICTV criteria (85%amino acid sequence identity ) on a new species of bocavirus , this virus could be a novel species within genus Bocaparvovirus .This study provides important data to better understand viral diversity in bats and to uncover the relationship between bocavirus and its hosts .

Bats are important reservoir animals and more than 60 viruses have been identified in bats with many of them highly pathogenic to human. In order to understand the natural background, genetic diversity of bat viruses in China and discover potential viral pathogens, Solexa sequencing based viral metagenomics focusing on bats tissues was established and to analyze the virome of bats collected from Jilin, Yunnan and Hunan province. By Solexa sequencing, 116 442 324 useful reads were obtained and assembled into 4 872 contigs, of which 8.2% (4 002/4 4872) were annotated to 36 viral families, including 19 vertebrate virus families, 6 plant virus families, 4 insect virus families and 4 phages. Further contigs analyses showed that some adenovirus, bocavirus, picobirnavirus, parvovirus contigs sequences were similar with known viruses. However, part of them shared limited identities to these viruses implying the discovery of new viruses. Moreover, PCR validation of adenovirus and bocavirus confirmed the results obtained by viral metagenomics. This study aimed to understand bat virome in China by viral metagenomics and could be helpful to establish effective surveillance on wildlife-associate zoonoses.
