OBJECTIVE:To investigate the association of synergistic effects of Wuzhi capsules on tacrolimus with CYP3A5*3 (6986A>G,rs776746) gene polymorphisms. METHODS:One hundred and severty patients underwent renal transplantation receiving tacrolimus maintenance therapy after surgery were selected from our hospital during Jan. 1997-Dec. 2015,and then divided into Wuzhi capsules(+)group(74 cases)and Wuzhi capsules(-)group(96 cases)according to the use of Wuzhi capsules. Both groups received tacrolimus+mycophenolate mofetil+prednisone;Wuzhi capsules (+)group was additionally given Wuzhi capsules,one capsule each time,bid,for more than 12 months. Trough concentration of tacrolimus was detected by CMIA 0,1,3,6,12 months after medica-tion,and the blood concentrations(C0/D)were calculated at different time points after correcting daily dose. CYP3A5*3 gene polymor-phisms was detected by PCR-RFLP. The association of C0/D value with gene polymorphism was investigated by analysis of covariance. RESULTS:Among 170 patients,there were 65 cases of CYP3A5 GG genotype,83 cases of AG genotype and 22 cases of AA geno-type;genotype frequencies were 38.2%,48.8% and 12.9%,which was in line with Hardy-Weinberg balance (P>0.05). There was statistical significance in the distribution frequencies of GG,AG+AA genotype between Wuzhi capsules(+)group and Wuzhi capsules (-)group (P<0.05). After 1 month of medication,C0/D of tacrolimus in GG genotype was significantly higher in Wuzhi capsules (+)group than in Wuzhi capsules(-)group. After 1,3,6,12 months of medication,C0/D of tacrolimus in AG+AA genotype was sig-nificantly higher in Wuzhi capsules(+)group than in Wuzhi capsules(-)group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in C0/D of tacrolimus in GG genotype between 2 groups after 3,6,12 months of treatment(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Wuzhi capsules can increase C0/D of tacrolimus in CYP3A5*3 AG+AA genotype,but have no significant effect on C0/D of tacrolimus in GG genotype;CYP3A5*3 genotype should be considered when using Wuzhi capsules as synergist of tacrolimus.

Objective To analyze the correlation between liver pathology and clinical characteristics in a large series of patients with chronic HBV infections , so as to provide the data base for non-invasive medical diagnosis .Methods Liver pathology and clinical characteristics of 1 397 patients with chronic HBV infections were retrospectively analyzed . Ridit analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were performed to investigate the correlations of clinical characteristics with liver pathology of patients .Results In 1 397 patients, there were 604 patients (43.24%) with liver inflammation grading ≥G2 and 504 patients (36.08%) with fibrosis stage ≥S2.Inflammation grade and fibrosis stage of liver tissues were both higher in male patients than those in females (u=3.093 and 2.854, P<0.01).Inflammation grade and fibrosis stage of liver tissues in patients aged ≤30 years were lower than those in patients aged >30-40 years and >40 years (r=0.259 and 0.303, P<0.01;F=4.199 and 12.226,11.610 and 24.359, P<0.05 and <0.01).Patients with HBeAg( -) and HBV DNA≥103 copies/mL were of higher degrees in liver tissue inflammation compared with those with HBeAg ( +) and those with HBeAg ( -) but HBV DNA <103 copies/mL (F=8.788 and 5.635, all P<0.01);while the fibrosis stage in patients with HBeAg (-) and HBV DNA≥103 copies/mL was only higher than that in HBeAg ( +) patients (F=12.886, P<0.01). Liver tissue inflammation and liver fibrosis aggravated with the increase of ALT ( r=0.537 and 0.517, P<0.01).There was no significant difference in liver tissue inflammation among different age groups of patients with ALT (1-<2) ×ULN and HBV DNA≥103 copies/mL (χ2 =4.365, P >0.05),but there was significant difference in liver fibrosis in patients between aged >40 years and ≤30 years ( F=3.177,P<0.05).Conclusions Liver biopsy and antiviral therapy should be considered in chronic HBV infected patients with age of >30 years, lightly elevated ALT levels , HBeAg(-) and detectable HBV DNA levels , especially in male patients .Screening for liver fibrosis should be considered in patients with HBeAg ( -) and low HBV DNA levels .
