Objective To evaluate the safety and validity of an early steroid withdrawal protocol including cyclosporine (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in middle aged and elderly renal transplant patients. Methods Between September 2000 and April 2008, the prospective, randomized study design was used in 80 middle aged and elderly renal transplant patients. Steroid withdrawal group (n=39) with primary cadaveric kidney transplants received a protocol consisting of CsA 4~6 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) beginning at postoperative day 3, MMF 0. 75 g twice a day from the next postoperative day, and methylprednisolone (MP) 500 mg daily from day 0 to 3. Then prednisone (Pred) 20 mg daily was gradually tapered and withdrawn after postoperative day 30. Conventional steroid treatment group (control group, n=41) received a regimen consisting of CsA, MMF and MP, and Pred 20 mg daily. Pred was tapered to 5 mg daily over a period of 6 months, then maintained thereafter. Outcome parameters were patient and graft survival rates, renal function, acute rejection ( AR), arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia or diabetes mellitus, weight gain and infection. Results The incidence of AR in the steroid withdrawal group was similar to the control group (23. 1% vs. 19. 5%, χ~2=0. 15,P>0. 05). Patient survival rates at 12, 24, 36 months were 97. 4%, 94. 8% and 88.0% in the steroid withdrawal group and were 97.6%, 97.6 and 87.8% in the control group, respectively (χ~2=0. 17, P>0. 05). And graft survival rates were 94. 9%, 88. 6% and 83. 7% in the steroid withdrawal group and were 95. 1%, 91. 5% and 79. 5% in control group, respectively (χ~2 = 0.07, P>0. 05). Conclusions In middle aged and elderly renal transplant patients, early steroid withdrawal is feasible and may not significantly increase the risk of acute rejection episodes.

Objective To investigate the changes of plasma ghrelin,growth hormone (GH) and growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and gastric ghrelin in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease( COPD ) and to explore their clinical significances.Methods Plasma ghrelin,GH,GHRH,TNFα,IL-6 and C reactive protein (CRP) were measured in 40 COPD patients and 20 controls with chronic bronchitis. Correlated factors of plasma ghrelin,TNFα,IL-6,CRP were analyzed. Body composition was assessed with bioelectrical impedance analysis.The expression of gastric ghrelin in patients with COPD was detected.Results Plasma ghrelin was higher in the underweight patients than in the normal weight patients and in the controls [ ( 1.78 ± 0.46 ) ng/L,( 1.39 ± 0.46 ) ng/L,( 1.36 ± 0.39 ) ng/L,respectively].Plasma GH was lower in the underweight patients than in the normal weight patients and in the controls [(4.12 ±0.83) μg,/L,(5.17 ±0.72) μg/L,(6.49 ± 1.13) μg/L,respectively].Plasma GHRH was lower in the underweight patients than in the normal weight patients and in the controls [ (20.43 ± 4.41 ) ng/L,(23.47 ± 3.97) ng/L,( 27.48 ± 10.06) ng/L,respectively ].Plasma ghrelin was higher in the underweight patients than in the controls ( P < 0.01 ).Plasma ghrelin was higher in the underweight patients than in the normal weight patients with COPD.Plasma ghrelin (log transformed) was negatively correlated with BMI and percentage of body fat in the COPD patients.Plasma GHRH was positively correlated with ghrelin in the underweight patients ( r =0.515,P < 0.05 ),while no correlation was found between plasma G H and ghrelin in the underweight patients (r =0.415,P > 0.05 ).Plasma ghrelin was positively correlated with TNFα and IL-6 in the underweight patients.The gastric expression of ghrelin showed no evident difference between the patients with COPD and the controls.Conclusions The plasma GH in COPD patients may not be correlated with ghrelin.The plasma ghrelin level may be a useful indicator for malnutrition in COPD patients.Plasma ghrelin might be involved in the pathogenesis of CODP by affecting the body energy metabolism.

AIM: To study the effect of monocyte/macrophages treated with CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides on leukemic K562 cells. METHODS: The monocytes/macrophages from peripheral blood cells were isolated and induced. The expressions of CD14 and CD16 on monocytes/macrophages were detected by means of flow cytometry. After treated with synthetic CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides, and nonCpG-oligodeoxynucleotides for 24 hours respectively, the inhibiting effect of monocyte/macrophages on K562 cells were detected using MTT method. The secretions of TNF-? and IL-12 from monocytes/macrophages were determined using ELISA method. RESULTS: The monocytes/macrophages treated with CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides enhanced their antitumor effect on K562 cells and increased the secretion levels of TNF-? and IL-12. Whereas, there was no significant difference between antitumor effect and cytokine secretion of the monocytes/macrophages treated with nonCpG-oligodeoxynucleotide. CONCLUSION: CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides increases the cytotoxicity of macrophages on K562 cells in vitro, as well as facilitates the IL-12 and TNF-? secretion. It provides a new approach for immunologic treatment of leukemia.

China Modern Doctor 2015;(22):60-62
Objective To analyze and discuss the efficacy of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures. Methods A total of 144 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated in our hospital from January 2013 to August 2014 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 72 patients in each group. The control group was given dynamic hip screw (DHS) internal fixation and the obser-vation group was given PFNA internal fixation. The surgical indicators, treatment effects and incidences of postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results The observation group was significantly shorter than the control group in the surgical time, length of hospital stay, weight bearing time and fracture healing time, and was significantly less than the control group in the intraoperative bleeding amount, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The postoperative hip joint Harris score of the observation group was (90.8±6.2) points and that of the control group was (81.5±7.2) points; the observation group was significantly higher than the control group in the hip joint Harris score, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). The treatment effective rate of the observation group was 97.22% and that of the control group was 76.39%;the observation group was significantly higher than the control group in the treat-ment effective rate, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). The incidence of complications of the observation group was 4.17%and that of the control group was 13.89%;the observation group was significantly lower than the con-trol group in the incidence of complications, with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion In the treat-ment of patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures, the application of PFNA internal fixation has the advantages of small trauma, ideal effects and high safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

The hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) matrix tablet containing metoprolol succinate (MS) as a model drug was obtained by wet method compression tablet. The effects of the amount and viscosity of HPMC, the preparation method, compressing pressure, the amount of ethycellulose (EC), the pH of dissolution medium and the speed of basket rotation on the drug release from the matrix tablets were evaluated. The results showed that the release rate of metoprolol succinate from HPMC matrix tablets followed Higuchi equation. The release mechanism was in line with the synthetical effect of diffusion and corrosion. Drug release was influenced by the amount and viscosity of HPMC, the amount of EC in matrices, the preparation method and compressing pressure, etc. Drug release was not influenced by the pH of dissolution medium used, and not by the speed of basket rotation, either.

Objective The aim of the longitudinal was to explore the level of posttraumatic growth (PTG) and the effect on rehabilitation outcome in patients who received renal transplant. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out in patients after renal transplant in one month (T1) and six months (T2) in China during hospitalization. PTG was measured by the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), depression by the Patient Health Questionaire (PHQ-9), anxiety by the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionaire (GAD-7). Totally 180 patients were recruited, and 160 completed the follow-up measure. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.0. Results There were 88.3% (158/180) patients reported positive PTG in T1, and 94.3% (151/160) in T2. The mean score of posttraumatic growth at T1 and T2 had no significant difference (T1:77.96 ± 16.36,T2:79.54 ± 17.58;t=-1.302,P=0.195). PTG was not significant to the recovery of physical symptoms (χ2Creatinine=0.504,P=0.841,χ2recover=0.609,P=0.777, χ2complication=6.131,P=0.150), while it affected the incidence of anxiety (χ2=7.541, P=0.021), but not related with the incidence of depression (χ2=3.926,P=0.130). Conclusions There is no difference in the level of PTG in time. PTG has no obvious effect on body health recovery for patients with renal transplantation after six months, while for the mental health, PTG has no effect on depression symptoms, but can reduce the occurrence of anxiety symptoms.
