Objective To compare the short- and long- term effects and safety of endoscopic balloon dilatation vs. placement of specially designed reclaimable self-expanding anti-reflux esophageal stents for achalasia. Methods A total of 129 patients with achalasia were divided into 2 groups to receive either endoscopic scopic balloon dilatation(,l=63)or endoscopic placement of specially designed reclaimable self-expandinganti-reflux esophageal stents (n = 66). The dysphagia symptom scores were recorded before and 1-month,6-month and 12-month after the procedure, respectively. The change in width of esophagus, procedure related complications, length and costs of hospitalization were also analyzed. Results Dysphagia symptom score was significantly decreased after the treatment in both groups (P < 0.05). The effective rates evaluated at 1-month, 6-month and 12-month after the procedure in balloon dilatation group were 100. 0% , 96. 7% and 91.5% , respectively, which in stenting group were 100.0% , 98. 0% and 97.1% , respectively. There was no significant difference in changes of symptom score at 1-month and 6-month after treatment between the 2 groups (P > 0.05) , while at 12-month after treatment, the decrease of symptom score in stenting group was significantly higher than that in balloon dilatation group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the significant widening of the stricture and narrowing of the dilated esophagus were achieve in both groups (P < 0.05),while no significant difference between these 2 groups was observed in changes of width (P > 0. 05). Procedure related complications in balloon dilatation group included esophageal perforation (n =1) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (n=4) , which was not occurred in stenting group, but complications included hyperplasia of granulation tissue (n = 1), stent dislocation (n =2) and defulvium (n = 1) was observed inthe latter group. The length of hospitalization was similar in 2 groups (P > 0. 05) , and the cost of hospitalization in stenting group was significantly higher than that of balloon dilatation group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion Compared with endoscopic balloon dilatation, the specially designed reclaimable self-expanding antireflux stents is a more ideal method for achalasia, with similar short-term effect, but better long-term effect and safety.

Objective To measure the cytokines levels in peripheral blood from kidney transplantation recipients by using cytometric bead array and to analyze their change and the clinical significance in pre- and post- kidney transplantation, inducting with basiliximab and graft rejection. Methods A total of 72 renal transplantation recipients were divided into two groups, kidney function stable group(n =53) and acute rejection group (n = 19). And they were also grouped by induction with basiliximab or not,32 in basiliximab group and 40 in without basilixmab group. The levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-5,IL-4, IL-2 were measured by cytometric bead array in peripheral blood of 72 kidney transplantation recipients and 30 healthy donors at differential time. The data was analyzed according to the following grouping:donors and recipients, kidney function stable group and acute rejection group post transplantation and with or without basiliximab group. Results The levels of TNF-α, IL-10, IL-5, IL-4, IL-2 in recipients before transplantation were ( 1.65 ±0. 10) ,(2. 55 ±0. 19) ,( 1.88 ±0. 14) ,(1.85 ±0. 12) ,(2. 12 ±0. 09) ng/L,respectively. While they were (3.04 ±0. 17), (3.33 ±0. 26), (4.03 ±0.25), (2.73 ±0. 16), (4.03 ±0. 26) ng/L respectively in healthy donors. There was statistical significance between the two groups ( t =6. 890, 2. 375, 7. 851,3.955,7.153, P<0. 01, <0. 05, <0.01, <0.01, <0.01). While the level of IFN-γ in recipients before transplantation was (2. 50 ±0. 18) ng/L,compared with (3. 00 ±0. 24) ng/L in healthy donors. There was no statistical significance between the two groups( t = 1. 625, P > 0. 05 ). The levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 in kidney function stable group were (2. 71 ± 0. 11 ) ng/L and (3.91 ± 0. 52) ng/L,while they were ( 3.30 ± 0. 36 ) ng/L and ( 12. 01 ± 5.35 ) ng/L in acute rejection group. There were statistical dirrerences between the two groups ( t = 5. 061, 11. 465, P < 0. 01, < 0. 05 ). Before induction with basiliximab, the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10 in recipients were (2.90 ±0. 21 ), ( 1.67 ±0. 12),(2. 45 ± 0. 16) ng/L respectively. But they were ( 2. 78 ± 0. 17 ), ( 1.58 ± 0. 07 ), ( 2. 77 ± 0. 24 ) ng/L respectively after induction with basiliximab, which showed significantly different ( t = 5. 605, 6.011,4. 126, P <0. 01, <0. 01, <0. 05). Four weeks after kidney transplantation in recipients with basiliximab,the levels of IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-4 were (2. 90 ± 0. 31 ), (9. 08 ± 0. 16), (2. 73 ± 0. 11 ) ng/L. While they were (3.28 ±0. 11 ), (4. 17 ±0. 21 ), (2. 11 ±0. 20) ng/L respectively in recipients without basiliximab induction, which were significantly different from those with basiliximab induction (t = 4. 268,4. 263,3.762, P <0. 01, <0. 01, < 0. 05 ). Conclusions Six kinds of cytokines can be measured by cytometric bead array simultaneously and accurately. The data suggests that the detection of multiple cytokines in kidney transplantation recipients by cytometric bead array can provide more guidance for clinical diagnosis and therapy.
