Objective To evaluate efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting for treatment of transplanted renal artery stenosis (TRAS). Method Seven patients with TRAS were included in this study. By femoral or axillary approach, balloon angioplasty and /or metallic stents placement at stenostic renal artery were performed. Results Of the seven patients, balloon angioplasty was carried out in 3 (2 cases via femoral artery, 1 via axillary artery), both balloon angioplasty and metallic stents placement were performed in 4 (2 via femoral artery, 2 via axillary artery). After the procedure, blood pressure recovered to normal in 5 cases, controlled with administration of antihypertensive in the other 2 cases. By 9 to 36 month′s follow up, restenosis of renal artery occurred in only 1 case at 9 months after stent implantation. The second balloon angioplasty were taken and better renal artery blood flow was obtained in this case. Other 6 cases showed no restenosis. Conclusion PTA and stents placement were effective and safe approach in treatment of TRAS. Further investigation was needed to prevent and manage restenosis after these procedures.

Objective:To investigate the colony formation of high-proliferative potential colony-forming cells(HPP-CFC) from bone marrow-derived hematopoietic cells of psoriatic patients and p21 gene promotor methylation in HPP-CFC,and probe into the relationship between the colony formation and the methylation status of p21 gene promoter.[WT5"HZ] Methods:[WT5"BZ]Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were separated by density gradient centrifugation.The cells were cultured in methycellulose semi-solid culture medium with SCF,GM-CSF,IL-3 and IL-6 for 14 days, and then high-proliferative potential colony-forming cells(HPP-CFC) were counted.The HPP-CFC were collected and their genomic DNA was isolated . DNA was subjected to bisulfite treatment,and the modified DNA was studied by using the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP).[WT5"HZ]Results:[WT5"BZ]In methycellulose semi-solid culture system, the number of HPP-CFC in bone marrow of psoriatic patients was significantly less than that of normal control. The positive frequency of methylation of p21 gene promoter in HPP-CFC of normal contrasts was higher than that of psoriatic patients. [WT5"HZ]Conclusion:[WT5"BZ]The activity of methylation status of p21 gene promoter of bone marrow derived hematopoietic cells of psoriatic patients is abnomal. The lower positive frequency of methyllation of p21 gene promotor in HPP-CFC perhaps play a role in lower colony-forming capability of HPP-CFC of psoriatic patients.
