Objective To study kidney transplantation in the aged and its perioperative management. Methods Scrutinized screening of heart,lung and liver were carried out before renal transplantation for 29 patients,aged 65～84.Color Doppler B type ultrasonic inspection was used to determine the status of arteriae iliaca externa and arteriae iliaca interna.Tissue match included HLA and PRA measurement.Warm ischemia time of donor kidney was within 5 minutes and cold ischemia time 10 hours.The dose of MP was under 2.0 g during the period of operation and the immunosuppressive regimen was CsA or FK506+MMF+Pred.The general condition,blood electrolytes,whole blood CsA or FK506 concentration and immune index were monitored. Results There were 4 cases of AR,1 cases of FK506 toxicity and 1 case of lung infection.All these 6 patients were cured.1 kidney graft was removed because of thrombogenesis of renal artery.Up to now,the other 28 have been surviving with the graft functioning well for 1 to 5 years. Conclusions Abide to the indications of kidney transplantation,donor kidney of good quality and well tissue match were important in the elderly patients.With comprehensive monitoring and adequate management,kidney transplant in old patients can achieve sa tisfying outcome.Rational application of immunosuppressants and effective long term follow up are major factors for long term allograft survival.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of CDx2 and hepatocyte antigen(Hep) in gastric carcinoma.Methods The expression of CDx2 and Hep in 9 cases of nomal gastric mucosa,15 cases of small intestinal mucosa,8 cases of colon mucosa,15 cases of intestinal metaplasia of the stomach and 130 cases of gastric carcinoma were detected with immuohistochemical EnVisionTM Systems measures.Results The positive rates of CDx2 expressed in the nomal gastric mucosa were 0,small intestinal mucosa 80%(12/15),colon mucosa 87.5%(7/8),intestinal metaplasia of the stomach 86.7%(13/15),gastric carcinoma 37.7%(49/130);The positive rate of Hep was 11.1%(1/9),86.7%(13/15),12.5%(1/8),100%(15/15),55.4%(72/130) respectively.There was much higher positive expression of CDx2 in intestinal-type carcinoma than in diffuse-type gastric carcinoma(P

Objective To study the signification of p57kip2 immunostaining to distinguish molar gestations from hydropic abortions.Methods To observe the p57kip2 immunohistochemical expression in 58 cases of histological hydropic villi which were divided into complete mole(18 cases) ,partial mole(19 cases),hydropic abortion(11 cases)and undetermined hydropic abortion or molar gestations(10 cases) and in 3 normal placentas.Results Normal villi,partial mole and hydropic abortions show positive staining for p57kip2, which expressed in the nuclei of cytotrophoblast and villous mesenchyme,and complete moles show complete absence of staining in the cytotrophoblast and villous mesenchyme.According to the comparison of the diagnosis based on morphology and the one based on p57kip2 stai-ning,the later whose sensitivity is 96% (46/48) confirmed the earlier diagnosis in 58 cases studied and the later conformed to the earlier very well.Conclusion The immunohistochemical staining for p57kip2 is a valuable diagnostic mean to distinguish molar gestations from hydropic abortions and is a sensitive and specific marker for the diagnosis of complete mole.

The submucous plexus of the gastrointestinal tract in 20 guinea pigs were studied by histochemical methods for Nissl bodies and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and immunohistochemieal technique for somatostatin (SOM). We found that some neurons in the submueous plexus were located against the lymphatic vessels or even protruded toward the lumen, and only a basement membrane separated the endotheliocytes from the neurons. Thus we refer them as "paralymphatic neurons". The neurons were spindle, pear-like or polygonal in shape and all showed AChE positive reaction, but some of them exhibited SOM positive reaction. So, the paralymphatie neurons were different in property. According to the close appositional relationship between the neurons and lymphatic vessels, we infer that this peculiar type of neurons might be similar to the "cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons" in the ependyma and might have the function of neurosecretion or reception of the changes of chemical composition in the lymph. Paralymphatie neurons existed mainly in small intestine, rarely in colon and were not seen in gastric corpus and pyloric region. This suggested that the neurons might play a more important role in small intestine.

This study compared two techniques of artery anastomoses,renal artery to the ex- ternal iliac artery (ESA) and to the internal iliacartery (EEA) in renal transplantation.The operation time and the incidence of anastomotic stenosis was cut down significantely in ESA group.The blood flow in grafts has no difference in two groups with normal renal function.The utilization rate of grafts with multiple arteries was higher (94.4%) in ESA group.Back bench surgery for artery repain,cold ischemia time and renal damage were reduced in ESA group.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the application of topic model in the study of type 2 diabetes treatment plan. METHODS:Clinical data of 650 inpatients with type 2 diabetes in our hospital during Jan. 2012-Jun. 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The data of clinical diagnosis,lab indexes and clinical drug use were exchanged,summarized and merged by MATLAB R2014a software. Latent Dirichlet allocation and author topic model were adopted to extract the typical topics with topic probability value>0.1,and the topics was described by the complications with cumulative probability value>0.5. RESULTS:A total of 62 complications words,16 abnormal laboratory indexes groups and 20 treatment plans were obtained. A total of 4 typical topics were excavated(cumulative probability values for the first few complications were 0.8786,0.8247,0.8215,0.7536;topic probability value were 0.3364,0.2773,0.2035,0.1176,respectively) and were mainly characterized by peripheral neuropathy,peripheral vascular disease,abnormal lipid metabolism and microvascular lesions;abnormal lab indexes groups met the above characteristics. The complications with high distribution rate included diabetic peripheral neuropathy (0.5787), hypertension (0.3631),atherosclerosis (0.2789),hyperlipidemia (0.4578) and diabetic retinopathy (0.3143);main drugs included Insulin aspart injection,Insulin injection,Methylcobalamin dispersible tablets,etc. CONCLUSIONS:The complications of type 2 diabetes are characterized by peripheral neuropathy,peripheral vascular disease,abnormal lipid metabolism and microvascular lesions. The medication rules with clinical significance can be extracted from the clinical data by topic model.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression of Glut1, HIF-1α and Ki-67 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their relationship between their expression and clinicopathological features.MethodsImmunohistochemical study (EnVision method) for Glut1, HIF-1a and Ki-67 were performed on tissue microarray which consisted of 171 cases of HCC, 55 cases of adjacent non-neoplastic liver tissues, and 22cases of normal liver tissues.ResultsThe expression rate of Glut1 ,HIF-1α and ki-67 in 171 cases of HCC was 15.2％, 19.9％ and 66.1％, respectively, which was much higher than that in the adjacent non-neoplastic liver tissues (1.8％ ,1.8％and 5.5％) and normal liver tissues(all negative).The expressions of Glut1 and HIF-1α were positively correlated with the differentiation degree of HCC and TNM stage(P ＜0.01, P ＜0.05).The expression of ki-67 was positively correlated with the differentiation degree of HCC.There was a significant positive correlation between the expressions of Glut1 and HIF-1α in HCC (r1 =0.553, P ＜0.05), the expressions of Glut1 and HIF-1α were positively correlated with ki-67(r2 =0.560,r3 =0.613, P ＜0.05).ConclusionsGlut1, HIF-1α and ki-67 may play a role in the tumorigenesis and progression of HCC in some degree.Combined detection of Glut1, HIF-1α and Ki-67 may be helpful to judge the degree of malignancy and potential metastasis and evaluate the prognosis.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of combined liver and kidney transplantation (CLKT). Methods CLKT was performed on 22 patients. The orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) was preceded with the classic fashion in 10 patients and piggyback fashion in 12 patients. The renal allograft was implanted to the iliac fossa routinely. After operation, the patients received an induction therapy with anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody or antithymocyte globulin ( ATG) and a maintenance therapy with tacrolimus (Tac), mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone. Results The CLKT was successfully performed on all 22 patients, and the graft function was restored well postoperation. During the perioperative period, an acute rejection episode of liver occurred in one patient and acute renal allograft rejection episode in 2 patients. The Tac toxicity occurred in one patient. The hemorrhage of digestive tract occurred in one recipient and the hemorrhage of peritoneal cavity in one patient. The pleural effusion occurred in 6 recipients. The pneumonia occurred in 2 cases and the peritoneal infection in one patient During a follow-up period of 6 months to 7 years 11 months, three patients died because of cytomegalovirus pneumonia in 2 patients and acute myocardial infarction in, one patient, The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate of recipients was 86,4 %, 81.3 %, 72.7 % respectively. Conclusion The CLKT is an effective method for treatment of patients with end-stage liver djsease and chronic renal failure.

Objective To assess the change of the CD4~+ CD25~+ Treg after the transplant nephrectomy in recipients suffering from chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) with normal PRA level.Methods Thirty recipients suffering from CAN,aged 20-55 years old,with norlTlal PRA level,were divided into two groups:removal group (n=17) and preserving group(n=13).CD4~+ CD25~(high)/CD4~+,CTLA-4 and Foxp3 in peripheral blood were tested at two time ends:O month and 2 months after the transplant nephrectomy operation.Results (1) Ratio of CD4~+ CD25~(high)/CD4~+ at the Oth and 2nd month in the removal group was(1.47±0.19)%,(1.08±0.16)%,and that was(1.44±0.25)% and (1.77±0.24)%,at the same time in the preserving group (P<0.01).(2) The expression of CTLA-4 at the Oth and 2nd month in the removal group was (76.82±5.31)% and (72.56±4.99)%,and that was (76.20±4.22)% and (75.24±4.26)% in the preserving group (P>0.05).(3)The expression of Foxp3 was (79.77±1.59)% and (69.07±4.37)% in the removal group,and that was (79.56±1.75)% and (79.09±2.05)% in the preserving group.The expression rate of Foxp3 at the 2nd month in the removal group was significantly lower than in the preserving group (P<0.01).Conclusion Remoral of the graft can reduce the ratio of CD4~+ CD25~(high)/CD4~+ and the expression of Foxp3,suggesting that the removal of the renal graft may inhibit the activity of CD4~+ CD25~+ Treg.

To observe the effects of emodin ( Emo) on acute fatty liver in mice induced by DL-ethionine ( DL-Eth) or tetracyclin ( Tetra) and its potential mechanism, ICR mice of acute fatty liver model induced by DL-Eth were orally administered with Emo or positive control, ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) for 7 days. On day 7, except that the control and Emo groups were treated with vehicle control, animals were orally administered with DL-Eth to induce acute fatty liver model. ICR mice of acute fatty liver model induced by Tetra were orally administered with Emo or positive control, Dong Bao Gan Tai ( DB) or total flavonoid C-glycosides from Abrus mollis extract ( AME) for 7 days. From day 4, except that the control group was treated with vehicle control, animals were injec-ted with Tetra intraperitoneally for 4 days to induce acute fatty liver model. Liver histopathological analyses were determined by HE staining. Serum aspartate transaminase ( AST) , alanine transaminase ( ALT) , serum triglyceride ( TG) , hepatic TG and hepatic total cholesteol ( TC) were detected. The expression of phosphorylated AMP-activa-ted kinase ( p-AMPK) , phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase ( p-ACC) , SREBP1 and fatty acid synthase ( FAS) were determined by Western blot. The expression of fatty acid translocase ( CD36 ) , peroxisome proliferator activa-ted receptor alpha ( PPARα) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein ( MTTP ) in liver were determined by RT-PCR. Compared with model groups, Emo could improve hepatocyte swelling and hepatic steatosis induced by DL-Eth or Tetra. Serum AST, ALT, serum TG, hepatic TG and hepatic TC were decreased by Emo significantly. DL-Eth-induced increase of fatty acid synthetase-associated protein was down-regulated by Emo. Fatty acid uptake was down-regulated by Emo; fatty acid oxidation and secretion were increased by Emo. Emo might be effective in preventing acute fatty liver in mice induced by DL-Eth or Tetra.
