Mounting evidence supports that a newly identified regulatory T cell (Treg), CD4(+)LAP(+) Treg, is associated with oral tolerance induction and following inhibition of atherosclerosis, but little is described about whether nasal tolerance to antigen likewise induces the novel Tregs production and the relevant antiatherosclerotic benefit. We investigated the effect of nasal administration of heat shock protein-60 (HSP60) on atherogenesis. HSP60 or phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was nasally administered to six-week-old male ApoE(-/-) mice. At the 10th week after the nasal administration, there was a significant decrease in atherosclerotic plaque areas of aortic roots in the HSP60-treated mice as compared with those in the PBS-treated mice. Atherosclerosis suppression was accompanied with a significant increase in CD4(+)LAP(+) and CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs and a concurrently increased production of TGF-β in the HSP60-treated mice. The protective effect of HSP60 was offset by injection of anti-TGF-β antibody. It is concluded that nasal administration of HSP60 can inhibit atherosclerotic formation through immune tolerance which is established by Tregs depending on the induction of anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β. Immune tolerance induced by nasal administration of HSP60 may provide an alternative therapeutic method for atherosclerosis.

Objective To investigate the status of living relative kidney transplantation, and the clinical effects and social significances of kidney transplantation between spouses. Methods We retrospectively collected the clinical data of the department of kidney transplant of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, from January 2011 to December 2013. The spouse group as group 1, the age and sex of doners were taken into account,the siblings with the similar age of the same period were enrolled in group 2. Then the postoperative recoveries of the two groups were compared. Considering the current social status, particularly the shortage of donor kidneys, the clinical, social and family significances of kidney transplantation between spouses were analyzed. Results Twelve cases of spouses in group 1, 8 cases of siblings in group 2 , the differences of donor and recipient age of the two groups were 0.33 ± 0.98 years and 2.29 ± 7.23 years, respectively. The human major histocompatibility complex antigens (HLA) was less than three in group 1, and was greater than or equal to three in group 2. The changes of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were analyzed. No significant differences of serum creatinine and downward trend of blood urea nitrogen were observed between two groups (P = 0.84, P = 0.79). Conclusion The kidney transplantation between spouses has good clinical efficacy and great social significance, improving the status of the shortage of donor kidney and contributing to family harmony. The renal transplantation between spouses has obvious advantages and need further promotion.

Objective To analyze clinical outcome of kidney transplantation from elderly livingrelated donors. Methods The clinical data of living-related kidney transplantation between November 2005 to June 2011 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analysed.The patients were divided into elderly donor kidney transplantation group (elderly group,36 cases) and non-elderly living related donor kidney transplantation group (nonelderly group,208 cases).The mean recipients' serum creatinines before and 3 days,7 days,1 month,3 month,6 month,12 month,24 month,36 month after surgery,peri-operation complications,the incidence rate of acute rejection,calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-induced renal toxicity,delayed graft function(DGF),1 year and 3 year recipient/kidney survival were compared respectively between the two groups. Results The serum creatinine levels were higher in elderly group than in non-elderly group at 3 days,7 days,1 month after surgery [(245.2±135.2)μmol/L vs.(185.6±148.4)μmol/L,(150.5±86.8)μmol/L vs.(122.2± 136.8)μmol/L,(140.6±42.5)μmol/L vs.(117.8±33.2)μmol/L,t =84.07,31.90,21.54; all P =0.000].In addition,the incidence rate of CNI induced renal toxicity was higher in the elderly group than in non-elderly group [22.2%(8/36)vs.1.9%(4/208),x2=27.04,P=0.000].Nevertheless,there were no significant differences between the two groups in recipients' serum creatinines before and 3 month,6 month,12 month,24 month,36 month after surgery,in peri-operation complications,the incidence rate of acute rejection,delayed graft function,and in 1 year and 3 year recipient/kidney survival (all P > 0.05). Conclusions With stringent screening and overall assessment of elderly donors,healthy elderly donors should not be barriers to organ donation.Renal toxicity of CNI agents should be carefully monitored in recipients of elderly donor.

Objective To investigate the effect of icariin on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and the action mechanism.Methods SD rats were divided into 3 groups.The model of unilateral renal IRI was established in SD rats,and Icariin (100 mg/kg) was orally administrated by gavage daily from 2 days before operation to 12 days after operation (icariin group).The vehicle of icariin was administrated to IRI model rats as control group,while in the sham-operation group the renal pedicel was only dissociated without treatment.Body weight and kidney function were monitored within 14 days after reperfusion.The kidney was harvested at 24 h after reperfusion,and then malonaldehyde (MDA) and activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger enzymes were examined.Histopathological changes were observed at postoperative day (POD) 3 and 14.Results At POD 3,7,11 and 14,the creatinine clearance rate was significantly higher in icariin group than in control group (P<0.01). Icariin group had significantly lower Paller scores which indicated tubules injury than in control group at day 3 after reperfusion (P<0.01 ).In icariin group,MDA level was obviously decreased at 24 h after operation.Compared to control group,icariin group had statistically higher activity of glutathion reductase (GR),catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD),as well as higher level of reduced glutathione (GSH) (P<0.05).Conclusion Icariin has protective effects on renal IRI,and can promote recovery of kidney function. Icariin can reduce oxidative stress through increasing activity of ROS scavengers.

Objective To analyze the clinical effectiveness of using marginal donor kidney in living kidney transplant. Methods From November 2005 to June 2011,274 cases of living kidney transplant were performed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.The cases were divided into the marginal donors group ( Donor ages over 60 years old,suboptimal renal anatomy or physiology) of 66 cases and standard donors group of 208 cases.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The criteria of marginal donors were as follows:36 cases of donors with age over 60 yrs (6 cases with renal cysts and 1 case with renal calculus),22 cases of renal cysts ( with diameter range from 4 mm to 40 mm ),4 cases of renal calculus (with diameter range from 3 mm to 6 mm),4 cases of low GFR (under 35 ml/min.The mean recipients' serum creatinine before surgery and after surgery on day 3,day 7,month 1,month 3,month 6,month 12,related complications,the rate of acute rejection and delayed graft function,1 year,3 year recipient/kidney survival were compared between the 2 groups,respectively. Results The serum creatinine levels in the marginal donor group and standard donor group were (242.7 ± 132.2 vs 185.6 ± 148.4) and ( 156.7 ±86.8 vs 122.2 ± 136.8 ) on day 3,day 7 respectively ( P < 0.05 ).Nevertheless,there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in recipients' serum creatinines before surgery and after surgery on month 1,month 3,month 6,month 12,peri-operative complications,the rate of acute rejection and delayed graft function,1 year,3 year recipient/kidney survival (P > 0.05). Conclusions Healthy old donors and donors with renal cyst (the diameter of renal cysts under 40mm) should not be the barriers to organ donation.To those living donors with low GFR,we should consider of donor age,donor/recipient body weight,donor/recipient body surface area and whether we could deal with the problem by surgical operation.Donor with renal calculus should be carefully evaluated.

BACKGROUND:Uremia patients have different degree of anemia before kidney transplantation, preoperative, and perioperative anemia is harmful to intraoperative and postoperative recovery of the organism and renal function. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of perioperative anemia degree and total blood transfusion on non-living and living-relative donor kidney transplantation, and to summarize the perioperative drug treatment for anemia and perioperative principles of blood transfusion. METHODS: A retrospective study was done in 115 cases of non-living donor kidney transplantation (test group) and 92 cases of living-relative donor kidney transplantation (control group) from January 2012 to December 2013. Degree of anemia, total perioperative blood transfusion, electrolyte change within 12 hours of blood transfusion, and adverse events after blood transfusion were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The incidence of anemia had no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion rate was higher in the test group (P < 0.05), and the preoperative red blood cel level, hemoglobin level, hematokrit, average hemoglobin level, average concentration of hemoglobin, and average amount of blood transfusions were significantly lower in the test group (P< 0.05). Fever (5.5%) was the main adverse event during the transfusion in the two groups, and there was no severe severe alergic reaction and electrolyte acid-base disturbance. These findings suggest that the perioperative degree of anemia is higher in patients undergoing non-living donor kidney transplantation and those undergoing living-relative donor kidney transplantation; preoperative drug treatment for anemia is crucial for correcting anemia status; intraoperative and/or postoperative blood transfusion treatment should be in strict accordance with the principles of perioperative blood transfusion.
