BACKGROUND: Infection following kidney transplantation has become one of the main reasons for graft failure and death of allograft recipients. However, there is not a standard therapeutic scheme for infection following kidney transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and treatment measures of infection, additionally, to increase the cure rate of infection following kidney transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospectively analysis was performed at the Organ Transplantation Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical College from February 2006 to February 2008.PARTClPANTS: Eighteen cases of infections in 84 kidney allograft recipients.METHODS: All cases were checked by chest X-ray. Patients who had no significant lung infection symptoms or obvious signs received lung CT scan. Pathogen detection was performed, including hemoculture, urine culture, sputum culture, nose swabs culture, throat swab culture, checking clinically important cytomegalovirus (CMV), EB-DNA and mycoplasma in blood, acid-fast bacilli and eumycete culture in sputum. All cases of pulmonary infection underwent a comprehensive treatment-antiviral drugs, antibiotics and antifungal. Depending on the individual condition and absolute values of lymphocytes and CD4+T cells, the immunosuppressant was adjusted individually. The occurrence time, clinical symptom, auxiliary examination and treatment strategies were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The occurrence time of infection and clinical symptoms; imaging manifestation and results of pathogenic detection; selection of antibiotics and immunosuppressant adjustment.RESULTS: Among 18 cases, 11 cases (61.2%) were deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients. Inflection following kidney transplantation occurred in 12 cases (66.7%) within 3 months, and increased to 15 cases (83.3%) within 3-6 months. Of the 18 infection cases, 14 cases (77.8%) had a main symptom of fever. There were 15 cases (83.3%) of respiratory tract infection, including 13 cases (72.2%) of pulmonary infection. Fungal cultivation, especially Monilia, was positive in 6 cases. Three out of the 18 cases (16.7%) died, two of whom had CMV infection. Mixed infection occurred in all cases.CONCLUSION: Infected patients following kidney transplantation present with diversity pathogens, which are dominated by bacteria, fungus and virus. Severe pneumonia combined with CMV infection demonstrates that poor prognosis, fungal and virus infection following kidney transplantation should be given more attention. Combined de-escalation therapy is the main method, and timely adjustment and even discontinuance of immunosupprassive agents is one of the key points in the treatment of infection following kidney transplantation

Objective To investigate the efficacy of concomitant precise hemihepateetomy for the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who received concomitant precise hemihepatectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2009 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were examined by B ultrasonography,computed tomography (CT),magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and CT angiography (CTA)preoperatively.The hepatic function was tested before operation.Of the 7 patients with obstructive jaundice,5 received percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage,and 2 received endoscopic nosalbiliary drainage.Surgical procedures were determined according to the results of imaging examination.The resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,postoperative histopathological examination,pre-and postoperative hepatic function and prognostic indicators were analyzed.The count data and measurement data were analyzed using the chi-square test and t test,respectively; the survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rate was analyzed using the Log-rank test.COX proportion hazards model was used for multivariate analysis.Results The positive rates of B ultrasonography,CT and MRCP were 65.8％ (25/38),71.1％ (27/38) and 89.5％ (34/38),respectively.The results of 5 patients who received CTA were positive.Concomitant left hemihepatectomy was performed on 28 patients,concomitant right hemihepatectomy on 10 patients; concomitant caudate lobectomy on 22 patients,concomitant resection and reconstruction of portal vein on 4 patients (including 1 patient who received left hepatic vein repair),concomitant hepatic artery resection on 12 patients (including 3 patients who received hepatic artery reconstruction).Of the 38 patients,R0 resection was performed on 32 patients,R1 resection on 4 patients,R2 resection on 2 patients.Hepatic function indicators including total bilirubin,direct bilirubin,alkaline phosphatase,gamma-glutamyl-transferase,alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were significantly decreased after operation (t =7.799,8.445,5.697,6.633,4.469,4.140,P ＜ 0.05).Two patients died perioperatively,with the mortality rate of 5.3％ (2/38).The main postoperative complications included bile leakage and hepatic function insufficiency,with the incidences of 28.9％ (11/38) and 21.1％ (8/38),respectively.Postoperative histopathological findings included 31 patients with invasive adenocarcinoma,5 patients with nodular adenocarcinoma,1 patient with mucinous adenocarcinoma and 1 patient with adenosquamous carcinoma.The overall 1-,2-,3-year survival rates were 66％,37％ and 21％,and the median survival time was 22.0 months.There were significant differences in the survival rates between patients who received R0 resection and those with R1/R2 resection,and between patients with N0 and N1/N2 stage (x2 =4.516,10.397,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that positive margin and lymph node metastasis were prognostic indicators.Conclusions Concomitant precise hemihepatectomy has significantly improved the radical resection rate and the efficacy of treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Comprehensive preoperative imaging examination and hepatic function test are important for the assessment for resectability of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Selective preoperative biliary drainage are key points to decrease postoperative morbidity and morality.

This study explored the double lethal effects of pEGFP-C1-wtp53/junB fusion gene on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. wtp53/junB fusion gene was constructed and transformed into HepG2 cell line. Expression of KAI1 was detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting, cells apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry, proliferation of cells was detected byMTT chromometry, cell transmigration was detected by using transwell systems. The results showed that after transformation with pEGFP-C1-wtp53/JunB, the expression level of KAI1 protein was up-regulated, being 8.13 times the blank control group in HepG2 cells and significantly higher than 2.87 times which transformed with pEGFP-C1-JunB, 3.11 times which transformed with pEGFP-C1-wtp53 (P<0.001). Apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells transformed with pEGFP-C1-wtp53/JunB was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.001), and invasive ability of HepG2 cells transformed with pEGFP-C1-wtp53/JunB was significantly lower than other groups(P<0.001). It was concluded that the fusion gene of wtp53 and JunB could not only inhibit the growth of hepatoma cells and promote tumor cell apoptosis, but also suppress the invasive ability of tumor cells by up-regulating the expression of KAI1.

Methods DNA fragment encoding PTD was synthesized and fused with PCR-amplified bcr/abl gene fragment. The fusion protein was expressed in E.coli as His-tagged protein. The purified fusion protein was loaded to cultured HL-60 cells. Whether the fusion protein entered into HL-60 cells was determined by Western blot. Results It is shown that PTD could mediate transportation of bcr/abl protein to enter into cells. Conclusion These results may provide a new approach for loading exogenous proteins to antigen presenting cells.

Objective To compare the single-shot fields irradiated by three focusing modes of γ-knife and explore the approaches for improving the quality of stereotactic radiosurgery.Methods GAFCHROMIC(R) EBT3 mode flushing-free film was used to measure the single-shot fields irradiated by multi-source static focusing modes,multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode and single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode of γ-knife.Also the uniformity and penumbra of the single-shot fields were compared.Results The 2D dose distribution of the single-shot fields irradiated by three focusing modes of γ-knife was different.In the axis (x,y,z),the rang of penumbra axial length ratios of multisource static focusing modes,multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode and single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode were 0.13-0.48,0.17-0.33 and 0.28-0.54,in the diagonal direction of the wings plane (NSD,PSD),were 0.31-0.39,0.38-0.43 and 0.54-0.72,respectively;the penumbra axial length ratio of single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode was bigger than in multi-source static focusing modes and multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode.On the no-wings plane,the area ratios of 80％ dose curve enveloped and 50％ dose curve enveloped(A80％/A50％)were 0.40,0.47 and 0.19,on the wings plane,were 0.61,0.53 and 0.35,respectively.The field uniformity of multi-source static focusing modes and multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode were superior to single-source doubleaxis rotating focusing mode.Conclusions Considering dose distribution of the single-shot fields,the multi-source static focusing modes devices and the multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode devices should be preferred,when important tissues and organs are adjacent to the target areas.Compared with single-source double-axis rotating focusing mode,both multi-source static focusing modes and multi-source single-axis rotating focusing mode could make more target areas to be surrounded by high dose region.

Objective To construct wtp53/junB fusion gene and its eukaryotic expression vector in order to provide the basis for further application of polygene union therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and gene recombination techniques were used to construct the eukaryotic vector of pEGFP-C1-wtp53/junB fusion gene, which carries the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). The transfection of pEGFP-C1-wtp53/junB in hepatoma HepG2 cells was detected by the location of green fluorescence. Results The DNA sequence of wtp53/junB fusion gene was successfully cloned into the pEGFP-C1 plasmid and the sequence was the same as what we expected. Green fluorescence located on cell nucleus proved that pEGFP-C1-wtp53/junB was transfected into HepG2 cell line successfully. Conclusion We successfully constructed the eukaryotic vector of pEGFP-C1-wtp53/junB fusion gene, which carries the EGFP, and transfects it into human hepatoma cell nucleus. It may lay the basis for studying the synergetic effect of wtp53 and junB in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To summarize MRI findings of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), analyze MRI characteristics of various pathological subtypes of focal cortical dysplasia. Methods Forty-four patients with FCD were collected. Their MRI findings were analyzed retrospectively. According to pathologic findings, these patients were divided into FCD type Ⅰ group and FCD type Ⅱ group. The following MR signs were observed in the two types of FCD: ( 1 ) Focal thickening of the cortex. ( 2 ) Blurring of the gray matter-white matter junction. ( 3 ) Tapering of white matter signal intensity alteration toward the ventricle on FLAIR and on T2WI. (4)Focal brain hypoplasia. (5)Increased signal intensity of gray matter on FLAIR. (6)Increased signal intensity of gray matter on T2 WI. ( 7 ) Increased signal intensity of subcortical white matter on FLAIR.(8) Increased signal intensity of subeortical white matter on T2WI. (9) Decreased signal intensity of subcortical white matter on T1 WI. The χ2 tests and corrected χ2 tests were used for comparison between the two groups. Results In the 44 cases, there were 30 cases with FCD type Ⅰ and 14 cases with FCD type Ⅱ. FCD was identified by MRI in 32 cases. Blurring of the gray-white matter junction is the most common sign of FCD (23 cases). There were 21 cases identified by MRI in FCD type Ⅰ group. Focal brain hypoplasia is a typical sign of FCD type Ⅰ , which was found in 11 cases in FCD type Ⅰ group but none in FCD type Ⅱ group. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups (continuity corrected χ2 =5. 0286,P =0. 0249) . In FCD type Ⅱ group, 11 cases were identified by MRI. Increased cortical thickness was found in 10 eases in FCD type Ⅱ group and 11 cases in FCD type Ⅰ group ( χ2 =4. 6234 ,P =0. 0315). Increased signal intensity of subcortical white matter on FLAIR was found in 9 cases in FCD type Ⅱ group and 7 cases in FCD type Ⅰ group (χ2 =6.9180,P =0.0085). Tapering of white matter signal intensity alteration toward the ventricle was found in 4 cases in FCD type Ⅱ group and none in FCD type Ⅰ group ( continuity corrected χ2 = 6. 2883, P = 0. 0122). The above-mentioned three MRI findings showed statistically significant difference between the two groups and were features of FCD type Ⅱ.All of the other MRI findings showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions Different pathological subtypes of FCD have different MRI characteristics. It is helpful to make preoperative diagnosis and planning.
