Objective To investigate immunoadsorption in the prevention of hyperacute rejection in highly sensitized recipients of renal allografts.Methods Immunoadsorption treatment was performed on 10 patients whose panel reactive antigen (PRA) was more than 40 %. The adverse effect and hyperacute rejection were observed.Results Two cases of acute rejection of renal allografts were found in highly sensitized recipients and reversed by the therapy of immunoadsorption and adjusting immuno-suppressive drugs.Conclusion Immunoadsorption treatment could effectively and safely prevent highly sensitized recipients from hyperacute rejection post-transplantation.

Objective To investigate the pollution status of algae and microcystin(MC)in Dianshan Lake,Shanghai City and Poyang Lake,Jiangxi Province.Methods Water samples were collected from different sites of the above lakes,as the pretreatment of intracellular and extracellular microcystins was finished,MC-LR concentration was detected by ELISA.Results The proportion of Cyanobacteria in Dianshan Lake was 38.8% and 68.2% respectively,the mean content of MC was 281.78 and 1 145.77 pg/ml respectively.In Poyang Lake,the proportion of Cyanobacteria was 48.9% and 73.7% respectively,the mean content of MC was 80.53 and 405.65 pg/ml respectively.In the same water-blooming lake,MC content was significantly lower in July than that in October(P

Objective To explore the regulatory effect of apigenin on the blood pressure of the spontaneous hypertension rat(SHR) rats and the possible mechanism.Methods The case groups of rats were fed with different dosage of apigenin(0.03,0.05,0.11 g/kg) by gavage for 4 consecutive weeks,while the control groups were treated with equal cubage of oil.The body weight,heart rate,blood pressure were measured every week.Results After 4 weeks of treatment with apigenin,the blood pressure of SHR in all doses groups decreased significantly;besides,apigenin could reduce the content of ET-1 and AngII,however,it didn't change NOS activity.Conclusion Apigenin has a regulatory effect on blood pressure,its lowest effective dose is 0.03 g/kg bw and it may decrease the blood pressure through reducing the content of ET-1 and AngII,not through the NO/NOS pathway.

Objective To observe the role of preoperative single administration of zenapax in the prevention of acute rejection after kidney transplantation, and evaluate its safety. Methods A total of 80 renal transplant recipients during the same period were divided into treatment and control groups, each group containing 40 patients. There were no difference between the two groups in treatment regime except the preoperative single administration of zenapax in the treatment group. Results Acute rejection rate was significantly lower in the treatment group(7.5%) than the control group(25%) within 6 months after kidney transplantation(P

40%)were observed in HLA CREGs matching and outcome of post-transplantation.Results Patients with 0,1,2 or 3 mismatching(MM) of HLA CREGs+DR were 4(28%), 6(44%)and 4(28%)cases respectively according to the the rule of CREGs matching and no case had 3～6 MM.However the cases of 0,1,2,3 and 4 MM were 1(7%),3(21%),5(36%)and 5(36%)respectively by the standard of conventional HLA antigen matching,without 4～6 MM and only 4 cases had shared 0～1MM.Only 9 patients were developed into acute rejection, and were reversed by OKT3 treatment after transplantation.Renal function was returned to normal in all patients.Conclusions Using CREGs matching criteria would significantly increase the chance of recipients to receive well-matched kidney and provide more chance for waiting recipients.Suitable HLA matching could play an important role in reducing the incidence of acute rejection and improving graft survival in sensitized patients.

Objective To investigate the etiological diagnosis and therapy of liver function lesion after kidney transplantation.Methods By analyzing the etiological factor of 82 cases of liver function lesion,we provided a reasonable and operative therapy scheme in kidney post-transplantation.Results Of 82 cases,the number of drug toxicity and viral hepatitis B which result in liver functional lesion were 70 cases(85 5%) and 12 cases(14 5%) respectively.The former were all cured,8 cases in the latter were cured and the other 4 cases were died from acute hepatic failure.Conclusions The liver function lesion of post-transplantation should be diagnosed carefully and treated particularly.Morever,the adjustment of immuno-suppressive drugs and monitoring circlosporin A concentration should be done for the patients with liver function damaged.

Objective To apply a non-invasive and feasible method for the quantification of local wall shear stress (WSS) in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging. Methods The fight common carotid artery of a young healthy male volunteer was examined using cine phase-contrast MR sequence. The cross- sectional area, average flow velocity, maximum velocity and flow rate were obtained. Three dimensional paraboloid model was applied to measure WSS value at common carotid artery. Results The mean/peak WSS was (0.75±0.41)N/m2 for the common carotid artery; The mean (range) velocity was (23.4± 12.0) cm/s; The mean (range) luminal vessel area was (32.2±2.9) mm2; The blood flow rate was (7.8±4. 6) ml/s; Conclusion WSS's magnitude, distribution and changes can be determined by MR imaging combining with the three-dimensional paraboloid method.

Objective To investigate the relationship between diabetic retinopathy(DR) and the state of diabetes mellitus(DM) control.Methods The factors for the occurrence and development of DR were analyzed by non conditional Logistic regression model.Results 5 significant factors were screened out,which were urinary microalbumin excretion index(ALB/Cr),blood glucose before breakfast,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc),diabetic neuropathy and course of DM.And the sugestible threshold value of blood glucose before breakfast is 7.90mmol/L at which we can prevent the occurrence of DR,and at 7.15mmol/L,occurrence of DR can be strictly controlled.Conclusion The state of controlling blood glucose and other complications in DM patients influences the occurrence and development of DR.

A case of overseas imported quartan malaria was reported in Weihai City. The patient worked in Africa for many years had no blood transfusion history and had not been to malaria endemic regions of China. In approximately half a month af?ter returning from Africa the patient appeared suspected malaria symptoms such as irregular fever sweating and headache. The patient was diagnosed as quartan malaria by a blood test in basic hospital reviewed with a microscope by Weihai Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and checked through the microscopic examination of malaria diagnosis and reference laboratory and PCR amplification by Shandong Institute of Parasitic Diseases. The patient was cured after the treatment with chloroquine/primaquine for 8 days and did not recur in the 3?month following up.

Objective To investigate collagen metabolism modulation of Intermedin 1-53 ( IMD1-53 ) on angiotensin Ⅱ( AngⅡ)-induced rat cardiac fibroblasts .Methods SD neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts were cultured and divided them into control group, AngⅡ +different concentrations IMD1-53 groups.ⅠandⅢcollagen expression in cardiac fibroblasts were measured by Westem blot , IMD1-53 receptor-like receptor ( calcitonin receptor-like receptor , CRLR) and transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) mRNA expression were exammed by real-time PCR.Results IMD1-53 significantly inhibited AngⅡ-induced collagen synthesis in cardiac fibroblasts , and this effect was more ob-vious with the increase of IMD 1-53 ( P<0.01 ,P<0.05 ) .Similar phenomenon was recorded in TGF-βexpression in cardiac fibroblasts ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusions IMD1-53 inhibited collagen synthetic in cardiac fibrosis induced by AngⅡ, down-regulated TGF-βexpression.These may relate to IMD1-53 anti myocardial fibrosis.
