Objective To offer a theory that supports the individualized tacrolimus dosage regimen by retrospectively investigating the influences of gene polymorphism and other clinical factors on tacrolimus concentration in renal transplant recipients. Methods A total of 280 renal transplant recipients were genotyped for CYP3A4?5, CYP3A4?6, CYP3A4?18B, CYP3A5?3, MDR1 1236C>T, MDR1 2677G>T/A, MDR1 3435C>T polymorphisms by PCR followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.PXR 6bp deletions (rs3842689) genotypes were determined by Allelic Special-Touch down PCR.Correlation between gene polymorphisms and tacrolimus concentrations was analyzed. Results The mutation frequency of CYP3A4?18B, CYP3A5?3, MDR1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T and PXR rs3842689 in the renal transplant recipients was 29.11%, 69.29%, 43.57%, 49.64%, 36.43% and 26.07%, respectively.Multiple regression analysis showed that, CYP3A5?3 and red blood cell count were associated with the value of C0/D of FK506, the best regression model was:D=C0/(-60.445 +95.777×CYP3A5 +34.938×RBC), and the equation could explain 38.8% of tacrolimus individual differences. Conclusion Gene polymorphism of CYP3A5?3 and red blood cell count may be responsible, in part, for the large interindividual variability of FK506 dose and concentration.

Objective:To study the characteristics of the adverse reactions caused by tacrolimus and analyze the risk factors. Methods:Totally 280 cases of renal transplant recipients received standard treatment options were selected from 1997 to 2013 in Wuhan general hospital of Guangzhou military command. The tacrolimus-related adverse reactions and their risk factors were analyzed statistically. Results:Totally 39. 65% of the patients had the tacrolimus-related adverse reactions. The main adverse reactions were hematotoxicity,diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. The univariate analysis showed that age,weight,BMI and treatment course were the suspected risk factors. The multivariate analysis results showed that age,BMI and treatment course were the risk factors of tacrolimus-related adverse reactions. Conclusion:The incidence of tacrolimus-related adverse reactions is relatively high,and if the patient is in advanced age,with poor nutritional status or long-term medication,the probability of adverse reactions will be increased.

Objective To observe the expressions of NeuN and pCaMKⅡα in brain and test the spacial learning and memory in neonatal hypoxic?ischemia encephalopathy ( HIE ) model mice. Methods 7d ICR mice were randomly divided into sham group( n=19) and model group( n=23). HIE model was induced by right common carotid artery ligation followed by 8% oxygen hypoxia for 100 min. DAPI staining was used to examine brain pathological change,immunofluorescent staining was used to examine the expression of NeuN and pCaMKⅡα in the ipsilateral brain,and Morris water maze was used to test the spa?cial learning and memory. Results Mice in sham group showed that brain cells were arranged in a dense and orderly manner,the number of NeuN?positive cells and pCaMKⅡα?positive cells were (106.50±20.07), (87.17±16.55) respectively in the brain,and the escape latency was short. Compared with mice in sham group,mice in model group showed more cells loss,less NeuN?positive cells(19.17±3.60) and less pCaMKⅡα?positive cells(13.33±3.62) in the ipsilateral hemisphere,and longer escape latency(P<0.01). Conclu-sion The spacial learning and memory are impaired in hypoxia ischemia,which may be related to the de?creasing expression of pCaMKⅡα in neurons in ipsilateral brain.

There are two populations of bacteria to affect the formation of urinary stones in humanity. The first one can promote the formation of urinary stone by increasing urinary pH, decreasing concentration of urinary inhibitors , and damaging the protective urothelial glycosaminoglycan layer. The second inhibit the formation of urinary stones. These bacteria ( mainly the intestinal oxalate degrading bacteria such as Oxalobacter formigenes, lactic acid bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis etc) can decrease urinary oxalate concentration by regulating exogenous oxalate. The problems faced and the developing direction were also indicated.
