Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(31):-
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (FK506) instead of cyclosporine (CsA) in renal transplant recipients with hepatic impairment. METHODS: Eighteen patients with hepatic impairment, including 10 male and 8 females, aged 19-68 years (mean aged 40 years), 2 out of them suffered diabetes mellitus, 1 of them had hepatitis B prior to operation. After operation, all patients were treated with CsA 6 mg/(kg?d), the mass concentration was changed from 250-400 ?g/L at 1 month after operation to 250 ?g/L after half year. Totally 30 mg/d prednisone was used at first and changed to 20 mg/d at 1 month after operation. Mycophenolate was applied with 1.5 g/d, or azothioprine 50-100 mg/d. FK506 was used instead of CsA when alanine aminotransferase was over 1 500 nkat/L, with over 25.1 ?mol/L bilirubin direct. The initial dose of FK506 was 0.1 mg/(kg?d) at the second day after drug withdrawal and adjusted to base on its blood trough levels and the degree of hepatic impairment. The dosage of mycophenolate or prednisone was invariably. RESULTS: Hepatic function and bilirubin metabolism of all patients were returned to normal leverl without reject reaction in 15-60 days. One patient, who had severe hepatic impairment, was recovered in 46 days. Five patients had high blood sugar levels, and one had high blood cholesterol. After hypoglycemic and cholesterol lowering therapy, the blood glucose was controlled below 7.5 mmol/L from at the beginning of (16.7?2.8) mmol/L, and the blood fat was kept in a normal level. CONCLUSION: FK506 substituting for CsA can recover hepatic function with high safety in recipients with hepatic impairment.

Objective To evaluate the middle-term effect of laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion combined with ascendant myomectomy (LUAO-M) for multiple uterine myomas. Methods The uterine artery was isolated and occluded with Kleppinger bipolar forceps (Sabre 2400,ASPEN LABS USA) or PK forceps (Gyrus Medical Limited Inc UK) under a laparoscope. Then dissection was performed on the surface of pseudo capsule with Kleppinger unipolar needle (Sabre 2400,ASPEN LABS USA) or PK needle (Gyrus Medical Limited Inc UK),and the target myoma was stripped out of the tumor bed with the Separate-Scoop device. Afterwards,repair of the incision was carried out in one layer with interrupted single stitch by Absorbable VICRYL suture (Johnson VICRYL ETHICON USA). Results The mean operation time was (102?36) min and mean blood loss was (88.7?58.4) ml. The mean hospital stay after the operation was (7.9?0.2) d,and febrile morbidity was 5.1% (5/98). Complications included two cases of subcutaneous emphysema and one case of ileus;no other severe complications occurred. Of the patients,98 cases were followed-up for 21 to 52 months (mean,36.3 months),during the period they were visited by a mean of 3.6 times,which showed a correction rate of menstruation abnormality of 95.9% (4/98),rate of uterine volume reduction of 57.7%,and rate of recurrent myoma of 3.1% (3/98). Conclusion LUAO-M shows a good clinical outcome and middle-term effect for multiple uterine myomas.

Objective To investigate the aberrant expression of phosphoproteome analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells( PBMCs) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus( SLE) . Lay the foundation for further re-search of mechanism and treatment in patients with SLE. Methods Phosphopeptides were enriched using TiO2 from PBMCs of patients and healthy subjects, then analyzed by automated LC-MS/MS analysis. Phosphorylation sites were identified and quantitated by MASCOT and MaxQuant. Differential expressed proteins and peptides were screened based on the bioinformatics analysis. Results 1 035 phosphorylation sites were identified from SLE com-prared with normal subjects, 618 corresponding genes were screened out in annotation proteins. Pathway analyses showed 12 signaling pathways were identified. There were the most difference phosphorylation sites in mitogen acti-vated protein kinases( MAPK) signaling pathway. Conclusion Differently phosphorylated proteins and peptides can be detected in patients with SLE, which can be used as a mechanism of reference and supplement combined with metabolic pathway, and might be used as a potential target for treatment and research of SLE.

Objective To study the time course of effect of methylene blue on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA transcription and protein expression in lung tissue of rats with sepsis, and its mechanism. Methods 126 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, sepsis group and methylene blue group. Each group was subdivided into 0-, 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 30-, and 36-hour subgroups according to the time after operation, with 6 rats in each subgroup. A model of sepsis was reproduced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and the rats in sham group were only opened the abdominal cavity and isolated the membrane of the appendix without CLP. Rats in methylene blue group were given injection of 15 mg/kg methylene blue at all time points after CLP, the remaining rats were given 0.9%NaCl solution in same amount. Six hours after the injection, the rats were sacrificed and the lung tissue was harvested immediately. The expression of iNOS mRNA and protein in lung tissues were determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western Blot respectively, and the changes in histopathology were observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Results Compared with sham group, the expression of iNOS mRNA was significantly up-regulated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours after CLP in sepsis group (2-ΔΔCt: 2.42±0.66 vs. 1.00±0.38 at 6 hours, P = 0.002; 2.54±0.76 vs. 1.00±0.27 at 12 hours, P = 0.000; 5.46±2.26 vs. 1.00±0.38 at 18 hours, P = 0.000; 3.03±0.62 vs. 1.00±0.33 at 24 hours, P = 0.001), and iNOS protein expression was significantly up-regulated at 12, 18 and 24 hours (gray value: 2.54±0.45 vs. 1.00±0.35 at 12 hours, P = 0.000; 2.65±0.64 vs. 1.00±0.33 at 18 hours, P = 0.000; 3.03±0.59 vs. 1.00±0.24 at 24 hours, P = 0.000). Compared with sepsis group, the expression of iNOS mRNA was significantly down-regulated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours in methylene blue group (2-ΔΔCt: 1.55±0.82 vs. 2.42±0.66 at 6 hours, P = 0.034; 1.84±0.42 vs. 2.54±0.76 at 12 hours, P = 0.016; 2.66±1.09 vs. 5.46±2.26 at 18 hours, P = 0.003; 2.20±0.29 vs. 3.03±0.62 at 24 hours, P = 0.002), and iNOS protein expression was significantly lowered at 12, 18 and 24 hours (gray value: 1.84±0.18 vs. 2.54±0.45 at 12 hours, P = 0.003; 1.87±0.27 vs. 2.65±0.64 at 18 hours, P = 0.008; 2.20±0.50 vs. 3.03±0.59 at 24 hours, P = 0.008). Histopathological observation showed that the degree of lung injury at each time point, including red blood cells effusion, lung interstitial edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar collapse etc., in sepsis group and methylene blue group were significantly higher than that of sham group, and the degree of lung injury in rats with methylene blue was not significantly improved as compared with that of sepsis group. Conclusions Lung iNOS mRNA expression was significantly increased at 6-24 hours after CLP induced sepsis in rat, and protein expression was increased at 12-24 hours. Methylene blue could inhibit mRNA transcription and protein expression of iNOS in lung of septic rat, but failed to reduce the degree of lung injury in sepsis.
