BACKGROUND: To avoid acute rejection,it is necessary to use imunosuppressive drug regimen for long term to control immune state.However,imunosuppressive drug regimen of allogenic organ transplantation increases infection incidence of recipients,and induction of allograft immunological tolerance might be an ideal method for solving these problems.The long-term immunologic tolerance has been able to be induced in the experimental rodent models.Among these protocols,donor bone marrow cell (DBMC) infusion exerts an important role in the induction of allograft immunological tolerance.OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of combination of cyclosporine A (CsA) with DBMC infusion on heterotopic rat cardiac allograft survival time.DESIDN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Renal Disease Center,First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejing University School of Medicine.MATERIALS: This study was performed at the Laboratory Animal Center,Zhejiang University School of Medicine between March 2002 and December 2005.Inbred male Lewis rats (n=40,serving as donors) and male BN rats (n=60,serving as recipients) of SPF grade were used in this study.The protocol was approved by the Hospital's Ethic's Committee.METHODS: Forty rats prepared for heterotopic rat cardiac allograft were randomly divided into 4 groups,with 10 rats in each: control group,in which,rats received no treatment,CsA group,in which,rats received CsA infusion for 7 days successively; CsA +DBMC group,in which,rats received DBMCs during and 6 days after the surgery and additional 7 successive days of CsA infusion,and a DBMC group,in which,rats received DBMCs infusion during and 6 days after the surgery.In addition,BN rats that received beterotopic rat cardiac allograft served BN controls.The survival time of heteroropic rat cardiac allograft was investigated.Serum interleukin-2 level and tumor necrosis factor-α mRNA expression level in the transplanted cardiac allograft were measured. The percentage of antigen presenting cells (APC) from donor,CD3+CD25+ cells,CD4+CD25+ cells,CD86+ cells,and the ratio for CD4+CD45RC+ and CD4+CD45RC- in the recipient peripheral blood karyocytes were measured by flow cytometry 6,12 and 18 days after surgery.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The survival time of beteruropic rat cardiac allograft,serum interleukin-2 (IL-2)level,tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α ) rnRNA expression level, rejection grading,the percentage of DBMCs in the recipient peripheral blood karyocytes,CD3+CD25+ cells,and CD4+CD25+ cells,as well as CD86 expression,and the ratio for CD4+CD45RC+ and CD4+CD45RC.RESULTS: Forty Lewis male rats and sixty male BN rats were all included in the final analysis. The heterotopic rat cardiac allograft survival time was longer in the CsA +DBMC group than in the control group and DBMC group (P < 0.05). Serum IL-2 level and TNF- α mRNA expression were respectively lower in the CsA +DBMC group than in the control group and DBMC group ( P < 0.05).The rejection was milder in the CsA +DBMC group than in the remaining 3 transplantation groups.In the CsA +DBMC group,CD 86 expression in the recipient peripheral blood karyocytes was markedly inhibited,and 6 and 12 days after surgery,the ratio for CD4+CD45RC+ and CD4+CD45RC- and the percentage of CD3+CD25+ were respectively lower compared to control group and DBMC group.DBMCs in the recipient peripheral blood karyocytes were more in rats that received DBMC infusion compared to rats that received no BDMC infusion.CONCLUSION: Short-term CsA treatment combined with DBMC infusion can lower acute rejection of heterotopic rat cardiac allograft and prolongssurvival time of cardiac allograft.

Sodium houttuyfonate (SH) is a derivative of effective component of a Chinese material medica, Houttuynia cordata, which is applied in anti-infection of microorganism. But, the antimicrobial mechanisms of SH still remain unclear. Here, we firstly discovered that SH effectively inhibits the three types of virulence related motility of.Pseudomonas aeruginosa, i.e., swimming, twitching and swarming. The plate assay results showed that the inhibitory action of SH against swimming and twitching in 24 h and swarming in 48 h is dose-dependent; and bacteria nearly lost all of the motile activities under the concentration of 1 x minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (512 mg x L(-1) same as azithromycin positive group (1 x MIC, 16 mg x L(-1)). Furthermore, we found that the expression of structural gene flgB and pilG is down-regulated by SH, which implies that inhibitory mechanism of SH against motility of P. aeruginosa may be due to the inhibition of flagella and pili bioformation of P. aeruginosa by SR Therefore, our presented results firstly demonstrate that SH effectively inhibits the motility activities of P. aeruginosa, and suggest that SH could be a promising antipseudomonas agents in clinic.

Objective To investigate the interventional treatment strategy for occluding the intercristal ventricular septal defect (VSD) in order to improve the surgical safety and success rate. Methods During the period from January 2012 to December 2013, a total of 31 patients with intercristal VSD were admitted to authors’ hospital to receive interventional catheter occlusion therapy. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound echocardiography showed that on the short axis view of the aorta the VSD interrupted port was situated at 12:00 - 1:00 o’clock region. Left ventricular and above aortic valve angiography indicated that the VSD location, shape and size, the split vent size on the left ventricle side and its distance from the aortic valve could be correctly measured when the VSD shunt was visualized , which were very helpful in guiding the operator to select the suitable occluder as well as to adjust the release pattern of the occluder. Postoperative imaging findings of the left ventricular and above aortic valve angiography were compared with the preoperative ones. Results Successful occlusion of VSD was obtained in 22 patients , in 13 among them the left ventricular angiography showed that the direction of blood flow beam at the defect hole was from the left ventricle to the right ventricle in an obliquely upward direction. The basal width of the defect on the left ventricle side was (5.12 ± 1.38) mm, and(6 - 10) mm occluder was employed. In the remaining 9 patients the left ventricular angiography showed that the direction of blood flow beam at the defect hole was from the left ventricle to the right ventricle in a direction almost parallel to the aortic valve , and the basal width of the defect on the left ventricle side was (7.18 ± 1.26) mm, and (9 - 12) mm zero-bias occluder was adopted. Interventional occlusion of VSD was unsuccessful in 9 cases as the intercristal hole was rather larger, and two of them had coexisting aortic sinus aneurysm complicated by mid-to-severe degree aortic valve regurgitation. Conclusion Based on the precise analysis of angiographic images by experienced radiologists optimal treatment scheme can be worked out. If conditions permit, symmetrical occluder should be employed so far as possible in order to reduce the degree of operation difficulty and improve the surgical safety and the success rate as well.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between lacunar cerebral infarction and level of serum uric acid in elderly male hypertension patients.
METHODSNinety-eight elderly male hypertension patients were enrolled in this study. They all underwent cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and their clinical and laboratory data were collected. The patients were divided into the 1st group (n = 32), the 2nd group (n = 32) and the 3rd group (n = 34) according to the level of serum uric acid.
RESULTSThe numbers of lacuner infarction, serum creatinine, urea and high density lipoprotein(HDL) were significantly diferrent from the other groups. The numbers of lacuner infarction were positively related with serum uric acid and urea. Multiple variant analysis showed that serum uric acid was the independent factor of the numbers of lacuner infarction.
CONCLUSIONThe elevated level of serum uric acid may contribute to the risk factors of lacuner infarction.
