OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of long-term follow-up of Valsartan and amlodipine tablets(Ⅰ)on blood pressure control and renal protection of patients with refractory hypertension. METHODS:120 patients with refractory hypertension were di-vided into control group and observation group according to the patients’wishes,with 60 cases in each group. All patients accepted the triple therapy of amlodipine+valsartan+hydrochlorothiazide and life-style intervention;at the time of discharge from hospital, the blood pressure was well controlled. After discharge from hospital,control group was given amlodipine;observation group was given Valsartan and amlodipine tablet (Ⅰ) orally,1 tablet each time,qd,and dose increasing according to blood pressure,with maximal dose no more than 2 tablets. With 18 months of follow-up,blood pressure and renal function indexes of 2 groups were ob-served at different time points,and blood pressure control rate and the rate of renal function injury were also observed at the last follow-up;the occurrence of ADR was observed. RESULTS:2 cases and 3 cases were follow-up loss in observation group and con-trol group,respectively. With 12 and 18 months of follow-up,24 h systolic pressure,24 h diastolic pressure and 24 h urine protein of 2 groups increased significantly while creatinine clearance rate decreased significantly compared with before discharge;but the in-dexes of observation group was better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). At last follow-up,the rate of blood pressure in observation group was significantly higher than in control group(84.5% vs. 52.6%),the rate of renal function injury was significantly lower than control group(8.6% vs. 24.6%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statisti-cal significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Valsartan amlodipine tablet(Ⅰ)has obvi-ous advantages in long-term follow-up of blood pressure control of patients with refractory hypertension. It can significantly reduce the incidence of renal function injury with good safety.

Early portal vein thrombosis is a rare but serious complication after liver transplantation,also is one of the main causes which lead to graft loss and receptor death. We collected domestic and foreign relevant data,and summarized and discussed the causes, clinical manifestation, imaging diagnosis of early portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation. Early portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation caused by multiple risk factors synergy. It was reported incidence of 1% to 2%. Clinical manifestations were concealment and lacked of specificity. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography angiography ( CTA) imaging methods of combi?ning could help early clinical findings,When necessary magnetic resonance angiography( MRA) . If each check negative,portal vein angiography could make a definitive diagnosis. Intravascular interventional therapy with small trauma, less complications and high success rate for advantages gradually became first?line treat?ments. Surgical treatment is not only as traditional effective treatments,but also an effective remedial measures after interventional treatment failure.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression level of p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 and the development and prognosis of thyroid carcinoma. Methods p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 expression in 6 nodular goitres, 10 thyroid adenomas and 35 thyroid carcinoma were detected by immunohistochemical method, and the relationship between p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Results The positive rate of nuclear expression of p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 in nodular goitres and thyroid adenomas was obviously higher than that in thyroid carcinomas, in papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma was significantly higher than that in medullary carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma, and in the thyroid carcinomas of stages I and II was also significantly higher that in the thyroid carcinomas of stages III and IV. The frequency of cytoplasmic expression of both p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 in thyroid carcinoma with lymph node metastasis was obviously higher than that in ones without lymph node metastasis. Conclusion The nuclear expression of both p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 in thyroid carcinoma were significantly associated with clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and local invasion. The low nuclear expression of p27 KIP1 and p57 KIP2 may indicate the poor prognosis of the patients, and the cytoplasmic expression may indicate the lymph node metastasis.

In order to identify novel genes involved in spermatogenesis, testis cDNA samples from Balb/C mice of different postnatal days were hybridized with the whole mouse genome Affymetrix chip to screen the testis-specific genes. The characteristics of the selected genes were analyzed by RT-PCR as well as other bioinformatic tools. A novel differentially expressed testis-specific gene (GenBank Accession No: NM_029042) in the developmental stages of testes was identified, and named TSCPA. Cellular mapping prediction of TSCPA indicated that its protein was probably expressed in nuclei, and one putative domain (aa 332-377) was anchoring domain of cAMP-dependent type II PK. The result of subcellular localization of GFP-TSCPA fusion protein in Cos-7 cells showed that TSCPA protein was expressed in nuclei. RT-PCR analysis revealed that TSCPA was expressed specifically in mouse and human testis. TSCPA gene was expressed weakly in 21-day-old mouse testis and the expression was increased gradually from 38th day to 6th month of mouse testes. No expression of hTSCPA was found in cryptorchidism and Sertoli-cell-only syndrome patients. It was concluded that the expression profile of TSCPA in human and mice indicated that TSCPA might play an important role in spermatogenesis.
