Objective To investigate the influence of pregnancy and delivery on maternal graft and newborns after renal transplantatior.Method Two cases of successful pregnancy and delivery after renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed and the literatures were reviewed.Result The first recipient received the immunosuppressive treatment,which was based on the mycophenolate after renal transplantation.Three years after transplantation,the recipient had the requirement of pregnancy,but there was no pregnancy without contraception for over one year.On the next month after the myocphenolate-based immunosuppressive regimen changed to the purine-based,B ultrasound revealed follicular growth,ovulation and pregnancy.Caesarean section was performed at 37 gestational weeks and a body was delivered.The weight of the boy was 2 750 g,and the Apgar scores of the newborn were 10.The second recipient received triple immunosuppressive therapy (cyclosporin A + azathioprine + methylprednisolone),and got natural pregnancy 4 years after renal transplantation.The recipient was hospitalized due to the increased blood pressure and reduced fetal heart rate at 33 W+2 gestational weeks,and discharged after treatment.Caesarean section was performed at 38 W+1 gestational weeks,the weight of the boy was 3 000 g,and the Apgar scores of the newborn was 10.After follow-up for 8 years old,there was on abnormity of the function of the transplanted kidney and the growth of the newborns.Conclusion Successful pregnancy and delivery are possible in renal transplant recipients with normal renal function.Regulating the immunosuppressive regimen appropriately,and treating the complications of pregnancy effectively can obtained the satisfactory outcome of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To select specific DNA aptamer for determining ketamine by FluMag-SELEX. METHODS: Based on magnetic beads with tosyl surface modification as solid carrier and ketamine as target, a random ssDNA library with total length of 78 bp in vitro was compounded. After 13 rounds screening, DNA cloning and sequencing were done. Primary and secondary, structures were analyzed. The affinity, specificity and Kd values of selected aptamer were measured by monitoring the fluorescence intensity. RESULTS: Two ssDNA aptamers (Apt#4 and Apt#8) were successfully selected with high and specific abilities to bind ketamine as target with Kd value of 0.59 and 0.66 μmol/L. The prediction of secondary structure was main stem-loop and G-tetramer. The stem was the basis of stability of aptamer's structure. And loop and G-tetramer was the key of specific binding of ketamine. CONCLUSION FluMag-SELEX can greatly improve the selection efficiency of the aptamer, obtain the ketamine-binding DNA aptamer, and develop a new method for rapid detection of ketamine.

OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively investigate the association between the polymorphism of FokI of the VDR gene and the susceptibility of prostatic cancer. METHODS: Databases of Pubmed, EMBase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data were retrieved from the date they formed till May 2011. All randomized controlled clinical trials which matched both the inclusive criteria and exclusive criteria were subjected to meta-analysis, conducted on Revman 5.0.0 software. Stata 11.0 software was employed to process Begg's test. RESULTS: Ten studies were included. Total sample cases were 8360, with 3749 cases in the patient group and 4611 cases in the control group, respectively. The quantitative analysis showed there were no significantly differences between the polymorphism of VDR FokI alleles and the susceptibility of prostatic cancer (allele F to f: OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.94-1.06, P=0.96; genotypes FF/Ff to ff: OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.93-1.51, P=0.48; genotypes FF to Ff/ff: OR=0.97, 95% CI=0.89-1.06, P=0.53). Though one research on Indian people indicated that allele F was a risk factor for prostatic cancer, in Begg's test we observed relatively high publication bias. The subgroup analysis showed there were no significantly differences between the polymorphism of VDR FokI alleles and the susceptibility of prostatic cancer (allele F to f, white race: OR=0.91, 95% CI=0.88-1.02, P=0.17; yellow race: OR=1.09, 95% CI=0.95-1.24, P=0.22; Indian: OR=1.91, 95% CI=1.30-2.81, P=0.0009). CONCLUSION VDR FokI allele F might be a protective factor for European and American Caucasians.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relation between lipoprotein (a) (LP(a)) and cerebral infarction in young adults.

METHODSSerum LP(a) of 90 young adults (age below 45 years) with cerebral infarction was measured. Serum lipids include triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) were also measured. Other possible risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, drinking and family stroke history were reviewed.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference of serum LP(a) value between stroke patients and controls. TG (P < 0.01) and ApoB (P < 0.01) values in patients with cerebral infarction were significant higher than those in controls. Lipoprotein (a) was correlated with total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, with the values of correlation coefficient (r) 0.28 and 0.23 (both P < 0.01). After adjustment for age, sex, hypertension, smoking, drinking alcohol, family stroke history and other serum lipids, the odd radio for LP(a) and cerebral infarction was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.27 - 1.98). The odd radio for elevated TG was 3.57 (95% CI: 1.34 - 9.49); The odd ratios for hypertension, heart diseases and smoking as risk factors for cerebral infarction in young patients showed as: hypertension OR = 8.18, 95% CI: 2.54 - 26.33; heart diseases: OR = 8.51, 95% CI: 2.27 - 31.85; smoking: OR = 3.21, 95% CI: 1.27 - 8.13.

CONCLUSIONLP(a) might not be a risk factor for cerebral infarction in young patients while elevated triglyceride, hypertension, heart diseases and smoking were important risk factors in young adults with cerebral infarction.
