To reveal the underlying mechanism of doxorubicin induced hepatotoxicity, an NMR-based metabolomic approach combined with multivariate statistical analysis was used to observe its metabolic alternations of rat liver. Sixteen differential metabolites between model rats and normal rats were characterized as potential pathological biomarkers related to doxorubicin induced hepatotoxicity. Six pathways, including phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and tyrosine metabolism were regarded as the targeted metabolic pathways according to Metabolic Pathway Analysis (MetPA). The results suggested that the metabolic perturbations in rats with doxorubicin induced hepatotoxicity were mainly involved in amino acid metabolism, lipid pathways, purine metabolism, energy metabolism, dysfunction of biotransformation and oxidative stress. The investigation revealed the effects of doxorubicin on liver in a holistic metabolic way, which laid a foundation for further studies on its toxicity mechanism.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of multiple renal arteries on outcomes of renal donors and recipients in hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy.Method From 2012 to 2014,121 patients underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy,including 92 cases of a single renal artery and 29 cases of multiple arteries.Donor and recipient outcomes for single artery and multiple arteries allografts were compared.Result The study included 121 pairs of donors and recipients.The demographic characteristics between multiple renal artery group and single renal artery group had no significant difference.The operative time,blood loss,postoperative complications,and hospital stay had no significant difference between two groups.Cold ischemia time and warm ischemia time in multiple renal artery group were longer than single donor renal artery group (128.5 ± 13.2 vs.50.2 ± 17.3 min,P＜0.001;196.0 ± 63.3 vs.154.1 ± 55.2 min,P=0.002,respectively).The operative time in multiple renal artery group was longer than in single renal artery group (213.5 ± 28.2 vs.182.2 ± 31.1 min,P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in blood loss,vascular complications and ureternal complications between two groups.The renal functions of two groups were likewise within one year.Conclusion There was no statistically significant difference in clinical efficacy between hand-assis-ted retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy with multiple renal arteries and single artery.The use of these grafts was safe for both recipients and donors.

Objective To examine the relationship between hypercalcemia (HC) and the development of posttransplant erythrocytosis (PTE).Method 169 patients with normal graft function who underwent renal transplantation between January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2014 in 309th Hospital of PLA were retrospectively reviewed.Result 169 patients with normal graft function who underwent kidney transplantation for the first time in 309th Hospital from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2014 were enrolled, including 121 males and 48 females.During the follow-up period, PTE appeared in 48 (28.4％) patients.Thirty-three (19.5％) patients developed HC, PTE occurred in 17/33 (51.5％) patients with HC, and in 31/136 (22.8％) patients without HC.PTE and HC were highly correlated (P＜0.001).Serum calcium levels tended to increase in patients with PTE, but significantly decreased in patients without PTE.HC patients had a higher probability of PTE (51.5％ vs.22.8％;P＜0.001).Similarly, HC was more common among patients with PTE compared with patients without PTE (35.4％ vs.13.2％;P＜0.001).Simple linear regression analysis showed that calcium concentration was independent predictor of hemoglobin levels (P＜0.01).In multivariate analysis, multiple linear regression model showed that the calcium concentration was still a significant predictor of hemoglobin levels (P＜0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of HC was an independent risk factor of PTE (P =0.01).Estimated glomerular filtration rate was also associated with PTE (P =0.012).As compared with women, the relative risk of men who had PTE was 4.373 times (P＜0.05).The risk of PTE in patients with HC was about five times higher than in patients with normal blood calcium.Conclusion HC is associated with PTE.HC may lead to the increased PTE in renal transplant recipients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and progression process of atopic diseases in adolescents, and to assess their relationship with filaggrin(FLG)mutations. Methods Totally, 334 adolescents aged from 11 to 19 years in a middle school in shanghai were enrolled into this study. A clinical interview was carried out to determine the prevalence of atopic diseases (such as ichthyosis, atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, rhinitis, etc)in these subjects. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 285 out of the 334 adolescents for screening for common FLG mutations, including 3321delA and K4671X. Five years later, these adolescents were followed up for reevaluation of clinical presentations of atopic diseases. Statistical analysis was carried out by the chi-square test with the SPSS 20.0 software. Results As the baseline survey showed, 19 (5.69%)of the 334 adolescents had AD, 14 (4.19%)had ichthyosis vulgaris, 36(10.78%)had allergic rhinitis, and 4(1.20%)had asthma. FLG mutations were observed in 24(8.42%) of the 285 adolescents. Five years later, 265 adoscents completed the follow-up, and 69 (20.66%)were lost to follow-up. Of the 265 adolescents reevaluated, 13(4.89%)had AD, 15(5.64%)had ichthyosis vulgaris, 27(10.15%)had allergic rhinitis, and 1 (0.38%)had asthma. By the time the second survey was performed, 6 out of the 19 patients initially diagnosed with AD had achieved complete regression, 13 had experienced a marked decrease in SCORing atopic dermatitis (SCORAD)score, and symptoms had disappeared in 9 of the 36 patients initially diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. The frequency of FLG mutations was 10.0%in patients with AD, 55.6%in those with ichthyosis, and 40.0%in those with both AD and ichthyosis, and the development of ichthyosis was associated with FLG mutations(P<0.001). Conclusions The frequency of common FLG mutations was 8.42%in these adolescents. FLG gene may be a semidominant gene associated with ichthyosis vulgaris, and multiple factors influence its expression.
