Objective To explore the effects of ulinastatin(UTI) on renal apoptosis and expression of bcl-2 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods Sixty rats weighing 250-300 g were randomized divided into 3 groups:pseudo-operation group(SO group,n=20),SAP group(n=20) and UTI treated group(UTI group,n=20).The model of SAP was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate solution into the biliopancreatic duct in the rats.Serum Cr and BUN were determined.The left kidneys were resected for light and electronic microscopic study.Renal cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL.Expression of bcl-2 was detected by immunohistochemical staining of SABC.Results Serum Cr,BUN,renal cell apoptotic index and bcl-2 expression were markedly increased in SAP group compared with SO group(P

Objective To study the expression, purification and bioactivity of a recombinant fusion protein consisting of anti-HBs single chain Fv and interleukin-2. Methods The engineering bacterium M15[pQE-ScFv-IL-2] which can express the fusion protein consisting of anti-HBsAg single chain Fv and interleukin-2, was induced by IPTG, then a 43kD recombinant protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western-blot analysis. Results The ratio of target protein to total protein of host reached 18%. Further analysis confirmed that the recombinant protein formed inclusion body in the cytoplasm of bacteria. 95% purity could be achieved after two-step purification of ScFv-IL-2, including Ni metal chelating chromatography (the first) and ion-exchange chromatogram (the second). The bioactivity assay of the purified product showed that the antibody-cytokine fusion protein could bind to HBsAg specifically and stimulate the proliferation of CTLL-2. Conclusion These results suggest that the fusion protein retains the bioactivity of its parental molecules, and may be a potential gene-engineering targeting drug for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and other relevant diseases.

Objective To investigate the correlation between human leukocyte antigens-A,-B,-DRB1 (HLA-A,-B,-DRB1) high resolution alleles and chronic renal failure (CRF) caused by immunoglobulin-a nephropathy (IgAN).Method The polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) method was used to investigate the genotypes of HLA-A,-B and-DRB1 high-resolution alleles in 191 cases of CRF caused by IgAN (experimental group) and 503 healthy blood donors (control group).The alleles frequencies between two groups were compared and the association between CRF caused by IgAN and the polyrnorphism of HLA was analyzed.Result (1) There were 25 alleles at A locus,48 alleles at B locus and 32 alleles at DRB1 locus in experimental group.(2) The genetic frequency of HLAA * 2901 [Pc =0.033,OR =10.738,95％ CI (1.193,96.691)],HLA DRB1 * 1106 [Pc =0.0001,OR =0.969,95％ CI (0.944,0.994)],HLA-DRB1 * 1202[Pc =0.002,OR =1.859,95％ CI (1.259,2.745)],HLA-DRB1 * 1401 [Pc =0.021,OR =0.984,95％ CI (0.967,0.998)],HLA-DRB1 * 1602[Pc=0.015,OR=1.915,95％ CI (1.157,3.17)] in experimental group was higher than in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion There is susceptibility association of HLA-A * 2901,HLA-DRB1 * 1106,HLA-DRE * 1202,HLA-DRB1 * 1401,HLA-DRB1 * 1602 with CRF caused by IgAN.It is concluded that there is a close genetic and immunological correlation between HLA alleles and the pathogenesis of CRF caused by IgAN.

AIM　To study the effect of exogenous bFGF on the cell apoptosis and the expression of HSP 70 protein and p53 gene. METHODS　The effect of exogenous bFGF on HSP 70 protein and gene expression was examined vial insitu hybridization and immunohistochemistry, at 0～72 h reperfusion after the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was occluded for 2 h in rats. Simutaneously, the distribution of apoptosis was observed. RESULTS　The expression of HSP 70 protein elevated and the expression of p53 gene and cell apoptosis decreased in bFGF treated rats as compared with ischemia rats. (P<0.05, P<0.01). CONCLUSION　Exogenous bFGF can supress the apoptosis and regulate its relative gene.

Serum p-amyloid peptide(Aβ)40 and Ap42 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)and atherosclerosis(AS)were detected by ELISA.The results showed that serum Ap40 level in T2DM group was significantly higher than that in the control group[(274.70±159.51 vs 162.63±87.58)pg/ml,P<0.05],especially in the diabetic patients accompanied with AS[(616.95±195.13)pg/m],P<0.01].Serum Ap40 level in simple AS group was also higher than that in control group[(318.52± 188.65)pg/ml,P<0.05].These results suggest that Ap40 is a risk factor of T2DM complicated with AS.However,there was no difference in serum Ap42 levels among various groups.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the tubular gastric width and the anti gastroesophageal reflux after esophageal cancer operation,and to provide reference for the choice of surgical methods in treatment of esophageal cancer.Methods Selected 60 patients who received radical surgery for esophageal carcinoma combined with gastric tube reconstruction surgery in our hospital from January 2015 to October 2015,and divided them into two groups according to the way of stomach tube anastomosis (cervical anastomosis,thoracic anastomosis) and different width of gastric tube (greater than or equal to or less than 3 cm).Namely:cervical anastomosis + greater than or equal to 3 cm group(14 cases),cervical anastomosis + less than 3 cm group(15 cases),thoracic anastomosis + greater than or equal to 3 cm group(15 cases) and thoracic anastomosis + less than 3 cm group(16 cases).All patients recieved esophageal pH monitoring for 3 days continuously from the 11 th day after operation.The monitoring indicators include:number of reflux,accumulation time of pH ＜ 4,whether there were clinical symptoms (heartburn,chest pain,pharyngeal foreign body sensation,cough,asthma,etc.) after surgery,and the frequency and time of these clinical symptoms appeared.All the patients were given endoscopic examination at the 14th days postoperatively.Observed the esophageal mucosa of patients and conducted histopathological grading of gastric mucosal inflammation.And then made a correlation analysis of gastric tube width and esophageal mucosal inflammation grade among all the patients with reflux symptoms.Results The cumulative time and number of reflux,incidence rate of clinical symptoms,and pH values less than 4 were significantly different(P ＜ 0.05).The cumulative time and number of reflux,incidence rate of clinical symptoms,and pH values less than 4 in the cervical anastomosis + less than 3 cm group were significantly lower than that in the other 3 groups(P ＜ 0.05),with statistical significance between different groups of endoscopic esophageal mucosa inflammation grade difference (P ＜ 0.05).Esophageal mucosal inflammation grading in patients of the cervical anastomosis + less than 3 cm group was the lightest.It showed a linear correlation between the gastric tube width and esophageal mucosal inflammation grading in patients with reflux symptoms.Conclusion Postoperative gastroesophageal reflux is closely related to stomach esophagus width after resection of esophageal carcinoma with tubular stomach reconstruction of stomach esophagus,because it is unable to control gastric tube width to the appropriate range.And it should be strengthened in patients with reflux related indicators for monitoring,so as to take measures to prevent gastroesophageal reflux as soon as possible to improve the prognosis of patients with quality.

Objective To explore the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients who developed urinary and male genital cancers after transplantation. Methods Data of 31 kidney transplant recipients developed de novo urinary and male genital cancer were compared with data of 31 patients in general population with the same age and same tumor stage. Results Compared with the general population, the overall survival was significantly worse in the transplant recipients (P=0. 02) , 5-year survival rates for each group were 50% vs 68%. Multivariate analyses demonstrated cancer stage to be a negative risk factor for survival for transplant recipients with de novo urinary and male genital cancer, and surgery and functioning graft to be the positive survival predictors. Conclusions Transplant recipients experience worse outcomes than the general population from urinary and male genital cancers. Cancers in transplant recipients are more biologically aggressive at the time of diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the pregnancy outcomes in female kidney transplant recipients and the long-term follow-up for the health of the offspring. MethodsClinical data from April 1978 to April 2011 of 15 female renal transplant recipients who were pregnant more than 5 months and their offspring were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe 15 recipients were taking CsA or Tac based immunosuppressive regimens.Twelve had successful pregnancies with stable and functioning grafts ; 1 paitent died of pulmonary infection and cardiac failure with functioning graft after the delivery of a healthy male infant; 2 experienced chronic rejection proven by biopsy at week 21 and 23 respectively,the pregnancies were therefore terminated and the grafts were lost even after rescue.All 13 newborns were smoothly delivered by cesarean section,they had an average gestational age of 35.2 ± 4.0 weeks,and a mean birth weight of 2510 ± 68 g,Apgar scale for each infant was 10,respectively.There were no birth defects,structural malformations,nor learning disabilities in 13 newborns,and their mothers all chose to bottle-feed.Thirteen children had normal intelligence,physical and mental development.Seven children experienced repeated respiratory tract infections during 0- 2 years,and 1 was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.The oldest offspring is 21 years old and the youngest is 3 years old. ConclusionsFemale renal kidney recipients could achieve successful pregnancies and deliveries 3 years post transplantation with strict criteria.Their offspring were healthy during follow-up.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors for standard TAC-related nephrotoxicity in renal transplant recipients. MethodsClinical data of 132 patients in TAC-based regiment with a dose of 0. 15-0.3 mg· kg-1 · day-1 and a trough level of 8-11 μg/L during first 2 years post renal transplantation, were retrospectively analyzed. TAC-related nephrotoxicity was diagnosed by renal biopsy and/or clinical criteria. All recipients were divided into 2 groups: TAC nephrotoxicity group (n = 25) and control group (n = 107). Logistic regression analysis was used to rank the relative risk of potential variables including age, gender, delayed graft function (DGF), drug exposure, duration of therapy,liver function, albumin level, hematocrit and gene polymorphism for CYP3A5 and MDR1.ResultsTAC-related nephrotoxicity was found in 25 (18. 9 ％ ) recipients. Univariate and Logistic regression analysis revealed that the influencing factors for TAC-related nephrotoxicity with a standard immunosuppressive regimen and a normal trough level range were identified as: abnormal liver function (RR = 3. 05,95 ％ CI 0. 879-11. 533, P = 0. 024), albumin level (RR = 0. 966,95 ％ CI 0. 994-1. 006, P = 0. 018 ), hematocrit ( RR = 0. 999, 95 ％ CI 0. 998-1. 000, P = 0. 032), CYP3A5 gene polymorphism (RR= 0. 777,95 ％ CI 0. 023-6. 798,P= 0. 032) ,and MDR1 gene polymorphism (RR=0. 654,95 ％ CI 0. 053-7. 109, P = 0. 017). ConclusionLiver function, albumin level, hematocrit, and gene polymorphism for CYP3A5and MDR1as well are influencing factors for TAC-related nephrotoxicity in renal transplant recipients with a standard immunosuppressive regimen and a normal trough level range,in which abnormal liver function is the most important adverse risk factor. These factors should be considered for better individual therapy in renal transplant recipients.
