Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of quadruple low-dose immunosuppressant maintenance therapy of sirolimus(SRL), calcineurin inhibitors(CNIs), mycophenolate mofetil(MMF)and glucocorticoid in recipients switched within three months after renal transplantation.Methods:This retrospective study recruited 61 recipients on quadruple immunosuppressive therapy within three months after renal transplantation from 2013 to 2018. The changes of serum creatinine(SCr), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), hemoglobin(HGB), white blood cell(WBC), platelet(PLT), liver function, fasting blood-glucose(FBG), serum lipid, electrolyte and urine protein before and after using this protocol were recorded.Results:No significant difference existed between before and after protocol switching in WBC or serum sodium. But after protocol switching, significant differences could be observed in SCr, BUN, serum calcium, serum potassium, aspartate transaminase(AST), PLT, alanine transaminase(ALT), HGB, FBG, triglycerides(TG)and cholesterol(TC, P<0.05). Urine protein negative rate was 44.26 % before switching. However, it was 81.97 % after protocol switching. After switching during a 1-year follow-up period, the incidence of pulmonary infection rate was 24.59 %, the incidence of BKV infection rate 4.92 %, the incidence of transplant renal artery stenosis 3.28 % and the incidence of acute rejection 6.56 %. Conclusions:Quadruple low-dose immunosuppression maintenance therapy of SRL, CNIs, MMF and glucocorticoid switched within 3 months after renal transplantation may be an effective and safe protocol of improving renal allograft function and enhancing recipient prognosis.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of Iguratimod in reducing the level of panel reactive antibodies in renal transplant recipients.Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with PRA-positive renal transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed. All recipients were treated with Iguratimod for PRA-positive. The changes in PRA levels before and after treatment and the adverse events were observed.Results:Of the 35 recipients, 4 of them were discontinued due to pulmonary infection, and 2 patients were discontinued during the observation period. 3 patients were lost to follow-up. A total of 26 recipients were included. When Iguratimod was taken to 9 months, the PRA was reviewed. 71.5 % of the 207 sites showed a downward trend, 69.9 % of the 107 class I sites and 75.9 % of the 41 class II site showed a downward trend, and there was no difference in renal function before and after treatment. There were no significant changes in blood routine, liver function, blood lipids, and blood glucose. There were no other adverse events.Conclusions:Iguratimod can effectively reduce the level of PRA in renal transplant recipients with less adverse events.

Objective To evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of single and multiple oral azvudine tablets in healthy young and elderly Chinese subjects.Methods This was a open-label and parallel-group study.The trial consisted of two groups:healthy young subjects group and healthy elderly subjects group,with 12 subjects in each group.Enrolled subjects were first given a single dose,fasting oral azvudine tablet 5 mg,after a 3-day cleansing period entered the multiple dose phase,fasting oral azvudine tablet 5 mg·d-1 for 7 days.Results After a single dose of azvudine 5 mg,Cmax and AUC0-∞ were(4.76±2.12)ng·mL-1,(6.53±2.20)ng·mL-1·h,and Tmax,t1/2 were 0.75,1.87 h in young subjects;Cmax and AUC0-∞ were(6.40±3.25)ng·mL-1,(9.50±3.70)ng·mL-1·h,and Tmax,t1/2 were 0.63,2.66 h in elderly subjects.After a multiple dose of azvudine 5 mg·d-1 for 7 d,Cmax and AUC0-∞ were(3.26±1.61)ng·mL-1,(5.38±2.19)ng·mL-1·h,and Tmax,ss,t1/2,ss were 0.88,2.13 h in young subjects;Cmax,ss and AUC0-∞,ss were(3.97±2.09)ng·mL-1,(6.71±3.26)ng·mL-1·h,and Tmax,ss,t1/2,ss were 0.75,2.56 h in elderly subjects.Elderly/young geometric mean ratios and 90%CIs were 128.37%(88.23%-186.76%),139.93%(105.42%-185.72%),140.03%(106.33%-184.41%)for azvudine Cmax,AUC0-t,AUC0-∞ after a single dose,and were 118.66%(80.83%-174.20%),118.41%(83.60%-167.69%),118.95%(84.78%-166.89%)for azvudine Cmax,AUC0-t,AUC0_∞ after a multiple dose of azvudine 5 mg·d-1 for 7 d.Conclusion After single and multiple oral administration of azvudine tablets,systemic exposure to azvudine was higher in healthy elderly subjects compared with healthy young subjects.After taking azvudine tablets,the types,severity and incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions in healthy elderly people were not significantly different from those in healthy young subjects.Azvudine was found to be safe and well tolerated in healthy elderly subjects.

Objective:To evaluate the values of bone mineral density(BMD)of renal transplant recipients and analyze the influencing factors so as to provide rationales for preventing and treating osteoporosis after renal transplantation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted for clinical data of 254 renal transplant recipients hospitalized from January 2017 to May 2019. The values of BMD of right femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae were detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA)and their relationships with other clinical parameters analyzed.Results:The average age was(40.5±9.8)years. Males accounted for 66.1 %, and menopausal women 5.9 %. The prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis of right femoral neck bone mass and lumbar vertebrae was 20.1 %, 2.8 % and 26.1 %, 3.6 % respectively. Chi-square test showed that recipients with lower BMD of femoral neck and lumbar spine were elders, menopausal women and those with longer postoperative time( P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that BMD of right femoral neck was positively correlated with BMI and negatively correlated with acute rejection( P<0.05). The BMD of lumbar vertebrae was positively correlated with BMI and negatively correlated with PTH level ( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is a high prevalence of bone loss in kidney transplant recipients. Regular monitoring of BMD, active control of hyperparathyroidism, maintaining an excellent nutritional status, tapering of glucocorticoid dose and using immunosuppressants with less effect on bone metabolism may prevent osteoporosis.

Objective:To evaluate left ventricular structural and functional abnormalities and vascular calcification in kidney transplant (KT) recipients, explore their influencing factors and examine the effects of mineral and bone disorders.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2019, retrospective analysis was performed for 292 KT recipients. Biochemical markers of bone metabolism, bone mineral density (BMD), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular diastolic function, coronary artery calcification (CAC) score and thoracic aortic calcification (TAC) score were assessed. Linear regression and binary Logistic regression analyses were employed for evaluating the influencing factors of cardiovascular parameters and the influence of abnormal mineral and bone metabolism.Results:Postoperative abnormalities in mineral and bone disorders were manifested mostly as hypercalcemia (8.9%, 26/292), hypophosphatemia (27.1%, 79/292), low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)vitD) (67.0%, 196/292), hyperparathyroidismhigh parathyroid hormone (PTH) (50.6%, 148/292), elevated bone turnover markers and bone loss rate of 25%-30%. The prevalence of LVH, LVEF<50%, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, high CAC score and high TAC score were 39.9%(116/292), 0%, 13.1%(38/292), 17.3%(50/292) and 39.9%(116/292) respectively. The results of multivariate analysis indicated that LVH was correlated positively with hypertension and serum calcium (Ca) (95% CI: 1.242-28.080, P=0.026; 95% CI: 1.714-277.584, P=0.018); LVEF was correlated positively with lumbar vertebrae BMD (95% CI: 0.000 1-0.005 5, P=0.041); Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was correlated positively with age, diabetes and parathyroid hyperplasia/nodules (95% CI: 1.050-1.176, P<0.001; 95% CI: 2.118-43.813, P=0.003 and 95% CI: 1.419-9.103, P=0.007); High CAC score was correlated positively with recipient age and dialysis time (95% CI: 1.036-1.160, P=0.001; 95% CI: 1.009-1.041, P=0.002); High TAC score was correlated positively with age (95% CI: 1.095-1.215, P<0.001). Correlation analysis indicated that TAC was correlated positively with serum Ca ( r=0.233, P=0.003), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP)( r=0.325, P<0.001) and type Ⅰ collagen cross-linked N-terminal peptide (NTX)( r=0.204, P=0.011) and negatively with femoral neck BMD ( r=0.194, P=0.017). Conclusions:There is a high prevalence of left ventricular structural and functional abnormalities and vascular calcification. It is closely correlated with mineral and bone disorders.
