Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of renal artery Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of renal transplant dysfunction by detecting blood perfusion in transplanted kidney with ultrasound .Methods:A total of 107 renal transplantation patients ,aged (38 .8 ± 1 .6) years in average ,including 68 new cases and 39 follow‐ups ,were recruited .Peak systolic velocity (PSV) ,end‐diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistance index (RI) ,in main renal artery ,renal segmental arteries and interlobar arteries of transplanted kidneys ,were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography .Results:Hemorheologic alterations in renal segmental arteries and interlobar arteries were closely correlated with renal function .Correlation indexes between PSV and clearance of creatinine (Ccr) were r=0 .072(P>0 .05) ,r=0 .224 (P=0 .014) and r=0 .250 (P=0 .006) ,respectively ,in main renal artery ,renal segmental arteries and interlobar arteries .Correlation indexes between RI and Ccr were r= -0 .398 (P<0 .001) ,r= -0 .400(P<0 .001) and r= -0 .436(P<0 .001) ,respectively ,in main renal artery ,renal segmental arteries and interlobar arteries .Correlation indexes between EDV and Ccr were r=0 .446(P<0 .001) ,r=0 .659(P<0 .001) and r=0 .529(P< 0 .001) ,respectively ,in main renal artery ,renal segmental arteries and interlobar arteries .The above results indicated that ,the maintenance of diastolic blood flow in renal arteries was important for renal function .The increase of RI and decrease of EDV in arteries of transplanted kidney was characteristic manifestation of chronic allograft nephropathy and vasculitic rejection .Conclusions:Renal artery Doppler ultrasonography can effectively measure the hemorheologic alterations of transplanted kidney ,thus it is an important adjuvant diagnostic tool for clinical renal transplantation .

A sandwiched electrochemical immunoassay based on the AuNPs@GSH-CdTe as a signal label, which formed by GSH-CdTe QDs and AuNPs, with dual signal amplified by reduced graphene oxide and AuNPs was proposed for the sensitive detection of prostate specific antigen(PSA). Through a sandwich immunoreaction, the target PSA and AuNPs@GSH-CdTe labeled Ab1 were captured to rGO/AuNPs-Ab2 surface. After the HNO3-dissolution step, square wave stripping voltammetry(SWSV)analysis of the captured CdTe QDs was used to quantify the concentration of PSA. In this system, AuNPs possessedlarge specific surface and good biocompatibility, which could effectively expand the amount of antigen and GSH-CdTe QDs loading and signals amplifying, while rGO played a synergistic amplification role due to its large specific surface. The proposed method showed good linearity ranging from 0. 5 to 200 ng/mL with the detection limits of 5. 0 pg/mL. It also showed excellent selectivity, good reproducibility, satisfactory stability. In addition, the method was successfully applied to the determination of real samples. The result was satisfactory and the recovery could fall in 98. 20%- 106. 2%, which represented a novel approach for versatile detection of tumor markers.
