Objective To investigate the role of sICAM-1 and TNF in the acute rejection of renal graft. Methods Serum sICAM-1 and TNF were sequentially determined in 41 patients with renal graft by ELISA and L_(929) target cell methods. Results The change of serum sICAM-1 was same as TNF, there was no significant difference in serum sICAM-1 and TNF among healthy controls, uremic patients, CsA toxioosis and stable transplantation. During acute rejection(AR) and infection episode, both serum sICAM-1 and TNF were obviously elevated. While the serum creatinine had no significant changes during infection, the serum sICAM-1 and TNF were elevated as early as 1~3 days before the rise of serum creatinine. Conclusion The serial assay of serum sICAM-1 and TNF would be helpful in the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of AR.

ObjectivesTo explore the clinical significance of tyrosine kinase receptor RON mRNA expression and it's splicing variant in bladder tumors. Methods Sixty-three cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCCB), including 30 cases of pathological grade I , 15 cases of pathological grade Ⅱ and 18 cases of pathological grade Ⅲ (44 cases of clinical stage Tis + T1, 15 cases of T2 + T3 +T4), 7 inverted papilloma of the bladder ( IPB), 9 cases of papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) and 12 cases of normalbladder mucosa RT-PCR was employed with the internal standard (GAPDHmRNA) to detect the expression of RON mRNA. PCR and direct sequencing was then utilized to identify the potential RON mRNA splicing variants. Finally, the variants' positive rates of expression were analyzed among the different tissues, diverse TCCB pathological grades and clinical stages. ResultsThe expression levels of RON mRNA/GAPDH mRNA among TCCB, IPB, PUNLMP and normal control were 4. 9 × 10-3 ( 1. 8 × 10-3-1.0 × 10-2 ), 3. 8 × 10-3 (2. 4 × 10-3-1.7 × 10-2 ), 4. 9 ×10 -3 ( 1.7 × 10 -3-1.1 × 10 -2 ) and 1.0 × 10-3 (4. 5 × 10-4-2. 8 × 10-3 ) respectively. The difference had a statistical significance (x2K-W = 17. 278 ,P <0. 05 ). The expression levels among pathological grade I, Ⅱ andⅢ were 3.7 × 10-3( 1.3 × 10-3-7.5 × 10-3) , 4. 9 × 10-3(1.9 × 10-3-1.1 × 10-2) and 8.9 × 10-3(2. 7 ×10 -3-8.0 × 10 -2 ) respectively. The erpression levels among the clinical stage Tis + T1 and T2 + T3 + T4were 3.5 × 10-3 ( 1.2 × 10 -3-7. 7 × 10-3 ) and 9. 7 × 10 -3 ( 2. 9 × 10-3-5. 3 × 10-2 ). The differences between expression levels were of statistical significance among the different pathological grades ( x2k-W =7. 341, P <0. 05 ) and clinical stages ( Z = - 2. 306, P < 0. 05 ). The positive rates of exon 11deletion(E11△) in TCCB, IPB and PUNLMP were 71% (45/63), 57% (4/7) and 67% (6/9) respectively, andthe total positive rate in bladder tumor tissues was 70%. Meanwhile, expression of the novel RON variant wesnot detected in the normalbladder mucosa. The positive expression rate of E1 1△ has no significant correlationamong the different clinical pathological tissues (x2 = 0. 620, P > 0. 05 ). There was no statistical significancein expression positive rate between different pathological grades ( Z =0. 221, P >0. 05 ) and clinical stages( Z = 0. 538, P > 0. 05) as well. A novel RON splice variant, deletion of RON exon 11 3 476 - 3 539 ( E3476 -3539△) was fond in the pathological tissue. The positive expression rates of E3 476 -3 539 in TCCB,IPB and PUNLMP were 57% (36/63), 43% (3/7) and 56% (5/9) respectively, and the total positive expression rate was 56% (44/79). The positive rates of E3 476 -3 539△ in pathological grade I , Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 40% ( 12/30), 67% (10/15) and 78% (14/18), and it's positive rates in clinical stage Tis +T1and T2 +T3 + T4 were 48% (21/44) and 80% (12/15). The differences in each group had significantly statistical significance ( Z = 7. 285, 5. 041, P < 0. 05 ) . However, the positive rates amongdifferent pathological tissues had no significance (x2 = 0. 517, P > 0. 05 ). Conclusions The expression level of RON mRNA is significantly associated with histological grading and clinical stage. RON may play an important role in the progression ofTCCB. Compared with the normal control, the increased RON variant expression may contribute to the carcinogenesis of the bladder tumor.

Objective:To establish a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method for the direct detection of serum M protein without antibody enrichment, and to assess its detection performance.Methods:Method establishment. A total of 712 waste serum samples were collected from patients who applied for the M protein identification test in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University. The immunoglobulin light chain was obtained by reduction of IgG and IgA by TCEP, and the detection method was preliminarily determined. The waste serum samples from 20 healthy people were collected to determine the range of mass-to-charge ratios of κ and λ light chain ions. 8 parallel tubes and 8 batches were set up for intra-and inter-batch reproducibility evaluation. 10-fold, 100-fold and 200-fold diluted M protein from 23 positive samples were detected by established MALDI-TOF MS method, and its sensitivity was evaluated. 3 methods of IFE, SPE and MALDI-TOF MS were used to detect M protein simultaneously, and the coincidence rate between MALDI-TOF MS and IFE and SPE was calculated.Results:The repeatability within and between batches was 100%, respectively. The original, 10-, 100-and 200-fold dilutions of 23 M protein-positive samples were determined, and the detection limit of MALDI-TOF MS for M protein was 0.06-0.18 g/L. IFE as the gold standard, the overall coincidence rates of SPE and MALDI-TOF MS were 85.9% and 92.3%, respectively, and the positive coincidence rates of SPE and MALDI-TOF MS were 72.8% and 99.7%, respectively, of the 712 samples. Among the different types of M-proteins, MALDI-TOF-MS agreed 100% with IFE M-protein results for IgA, IgD, IgM, free light chain type and biclonal group, while the agreements of SPE for IgM, IgA and free light chain samples were only 66.7%, 58% and 19.5%, respectively. One positive sample in the IgG group was not detected by MALDI-TOF MS. 23 M-proteins positive samples were diluted by original, 10, 100 and 200 times to access the sensitivity of MALDI-TOF MS method. The coincidence rate of MALDI-TOF MS was 100% and IFE was 96% at 10-fold dilution. The coincidence rate of IFE was 28% and 23% of MALDI-TOF MS at 100-fold and 200-fold dilution, respectively.Conclusions:A MALDI-TOF MS method for the detection of serum M-proteins was successfully established. This method has the advantages of high detection throughput, fast speed, good sensitivity, specificity and coincidence rate.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a refractory, chronic non-articular rheumatic disease characterized by widespread pain throughout the body, for which there are no satisfactory therapeutic drugs or options. There are rich Chinese medical therapies, and some non-drug therapies, such as acupuncture, Tai Chi, and Ba-Duan-Jin, have shown satisfactory efficacy and safety and definite advantages of simultaneously adjusting mind and body. FMS is taken as a disease responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018. In order to clarify the research progress in FMS and the clinical advantages of TCM/integrated Chinese and Western medicine, the China Academy of Chinese Medicine organized a seminar for nearly 20 experts in Chinese and Western medicine, including rheumatology, psychology, acupuncture and moxibustion, and encephalopathy, with the topic of difficulties in clinical diagnosis and treatment of FMS and advantages of TCM and Western medicine. The recommendations were reached on the difficulties in early diagnosis and solutions of FMS, mitigation of common non-specific symptoms, preferential analgesic therapy, TCM pathogenesis and treatment advantages, and direction of treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine. FMS is currently facing the triple dilemma of low early correct diagnosis, poor patient participation, and unsatisfactory benefit from pure Western medicine treatment. To solve the above problems, this paper suggests that rheumatologists should serve as the main diagnostic force of this disease, and they should improve patient participation in treatment decision-making, implement exercise therapy, and fully utilize the holistic and multidimensional features of TCM, which is effective in alleviating pain, improving mood, and decreasing adverse events. In addition, it is suggested that FMS treatment should rely on both TCM and Western medicine and adopt multidisciplinary joint treatment, which is expected to improve the standard of diagnosis and treatment of FMS in China.
