Objective To investigate whether the mortality and death causes of renal transplant recipients have changed from 1985 to 2002 in our center.Methods 145 cases of renal transplant recipients who died during 1985 to 2002 were divided into 3 groups: 1985 to 1990,1991 to 1996,1997 to 2002. The death causes and the mortality on the 1st ,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th year post transplant of each group were reviewed.Results During the three periods,the 1st,2nd,and 3rd year mortality was decreased. Infection as a cause of death fell from 31.8 % to 29.2 % and 26.7 % . Whereas death from liver disease,cancer and cardiovasvular diseases was increased.Conclusions The mortality is decreased. Infection,cardiovascular diseases,liver diseases and cancer were the main causes of death after transplantation from 1985 to 2002. It is important to prevent these diseases and treat them effectively in order to improve the recipients' survival rate.

Objective To investigate the experiences of combined liver-kidney transplantation (CLKTx).Methods Six patients underwent CLKTx in our center. The primary diseases included chronic glomerulonephritis and post-hepatitis B cirrhosis in 4 patients, hepatitis B virus associated nephritis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma in 1 patient, and polycystic kidney and polycystic liver in 1 patient. Cyclosporine A (or tarcrolimus), mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone were applied to prevent rejection. Four cases of post-hepatitis B cirrhosis received lamivudine. And hepatitis B immunogloblin was given to 4 patients for a short term.Results All 6 liver grafts had good primary function. Five renal grafts had good primary function within one week post-transplantation. One patient with delayed kidney graft function needed supportive hemodialysis. The serum creatinine was declined to normal level 52 days post-operation. Pleural effusion occurred in all 6 patients among which 2 patients needed surgical drainage. Two patients had to be treated for bacterial pneumonia and pneumocystis carinii pneumonia respectively. Three patients needed lipid-lowering therapy at early time post-operation. At the last follow-up, all 6 patients were alive with normal renal graft function and liver graft function. The panel reactive antibody (PRA) of one patient was 23 % before transplantation, and remained at about 8 % post-transplantation. The serum HBsAg and HBV DNA of all 4 post- hepatitis B cirrhosis patients became negative post-transplantation.Conclusion CLTx is a safe procedure for combined hepatic and renal end-stage disease with excellent short-term results.

Objective To explore the efficacy of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The literature about HRT in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were searched.Eleven papers were subjected to a Meta-analysis and a heterogeneity test was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of HRT.Results HRT reduced the level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in RA patients (P=0.016),the SMD was-0.22(-0.40,-0.04); improved bone mineral density (BMD) in RA patients (P=0.022),the WMD was 2.83(0.41,5.26); decreased clinical parameters for disease activity evaluations of RA patients (P=0.048),the SMD was-0.19 (-0.38,0.00); decreased the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in RA patients,the SMD was-0.08 (-0.37,0.21),but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.591).Conclusion The findings from this Meta-analysis indicate that HRT can reduce the ESR level,improve clinical indexes and improve BMD level of RA patients.HRT may suppress disease activity and osteoporosis of RA patients,so it may be used as an auxiliary therapy in the treatment of RA.

Objective To investigate the effects of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on the expression of EDA+ FN in granulation tissues of human diabetic foot wounds.Methods Forty patients with diabetic foot wounds fitting the inclusion criteria,admitted from Jan.2014 to Jun.2016,were randomly and equally apportioned to receive either NPWT or conventional gauze therapy (control) for 14 days.Granulated tissue biopsies were collected before (0 day) and after (14 day) treatment in both groups.All biopsies were subdivided into two parts.One part was preserved in 4％ paraformaldehyde for immunocytochemical staining of EDA+FN,and the other part was stored at-80 ℃ for Western blotting and PCR analysis of EDA+FN.Results The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the mean area density of EDA+ FN increased in both NPWT group and control group at day 14 relative to day 0,but the change value of mean area density was higher in NPWT group than in control group (P＜0.01).Western blotting showed that the relative protein levels of EDA+FN increased in both NPWT group and control group at day 14 relative to day 0,but the change value of relative protein levels of EDA+FN was higher in NPWT group than in control group (P＜0.01).The real time PCR analysis demonstrated that the relative mRNA levels of EDA+ FN increased in both NPWT group and control group at day 14 relative to day 0,but the change value of relative mRNA levels of EDA+ FN was higher in NPWT group than in control group (P＜0.01).The results demonstrated the higher protein and mRNA levels of EDA+FN in NPWT group than that in control group.Conclusion NPWT obviously enhances EDA+FN expression in granulation tissue of diabetic foot wound,as a result promotes wound healing.

Objective To compare the value of intrarectal filling with water and filling in rubber sheath with water in endoluminal uhrasonography for preoperative staging of rectal tumors. Methods 215 cases of rectal tumors were divided into two groups. 120 cases using the method of filling in rubber sheath with water and 95 cases using intrarectal filling with water were diagnosed with uhrasonography. The results were compared with corresponding pathologic results for the judgment of their accuracy. Results The accuracy for the diagnosis of infiltration depth was 60.0 % in the first group and was 73.7 % in the second. The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The accuracy for diagnosis of metastases of perirectal lymph nodes was 82.5 % in the first group and was 80.0 % in the second. The difference has no statistical significance (P >0.50). Conclusion Intrarectai filling with water is better than filling in rubber sheath with water in the diagnosis of infiltration depth of rectal tumors, while there is no difference in the diagnosis of metastasis of perirectal lymph nodes.

Objective To study the changes of left ventricular(LV) function before and after rAAV2-GFP targeted to myocardium by the ultrasound mediated microbubbles. Methods Twenty rats were divided into 2 groups. Ten rats underwent ultrasound mediated microbubbles destruction without rAAV2-GFP as control. Another ten rats underwent ultrasound mediated microbubbles destruction containing rAAV2-GFP as experimental group. The mean value of LV rotation of rats was obtained in apical and base plane using speckle tracking imaging(STI) software. LV torsion(LVtor) was defined as apical rotation relative to the base. LV function including circumferential strain,circumferential strain rate of systolic and early diastolic and late diastolic, torsion, time to peak, ejection fraction, fractional shortening, end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume of LV,heart rate and so on were also measured before and after 14 days. Other rats were killed after 14 days and hearts were harvested. GFP protein expression which showed rAAV2 transfer was observed under fluorescence microscope in frozen section. Results There was no significant difference of LV function of rats before and after rAAV2-GFP myocardium transfection by the ultrasound mediated microhubbles. Conclusions LV myocardial function has no significant difference before and after delivering rAAV2 to the heart in vivo by ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction.

Objective To study the best titer of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (rAAV2) delivered to myocardium by targeted ultrasound microbubbles. Methods Twenty one adult SD rats were divided into seven groups. SonoVue attached with different titer [1.5 × 109~ 3.0 × 1011 vg/ml (virus genome/ml)] of rAAV2-EGFP was infused into the tail vein of rats, following ultrasound mediated microbubbles destruction,as experiment groups. Normal saline was infused into the tail vein of rats as the control group (without rAAV2). Rats were killed after 14 days and hearts were harvested. GFP protein expression which showed rAAV2 transfer was observed under fluorescence microscope in frozen section and integrate optical density(IOD) was measured by Image Pro Plus software. Results When the titer of rAAV2 was 1.5 × 1011 vg/ml infused into the tail vein of rats there was much more GFP expression in myocardium than lower titers (P <0.01). Conclusions The best titer of rAAV2 delivered to myocardium by targeted ultrasound microbubbles is 1.5 × 1011 vg/ml in the tail vein infusion of rats.
