Objective:To examine whether the existence of the donor-and-recipient-derived DNA chimerism in recipient’s plasma can be a predictive marker for the status of transplanted organ.Methods:One hundred and twenty-six female patients who had been transplanted with male kidney were enrolled in the present study.In these female recipients,the SRY1,DYZ11st and DYZ12nd genes on the Y chromosome from the plasma were prospectively examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results:SRY1,DYZ11st and DYZ12nd sequences were detected in the cell-free blood (plasma) of 97 (77%) of 126 female patients with male kidney.The average time-span when the transplanted kidneys functioned was 8.7 years and 5.4 years among microchimerism-positive and microchimerism-negative recipients,respectively.The frequency of the patients who had acute rejection after renal transplantation was approximately 10% and 28%in microchimerism-positive and microchimerism-negative recipients,respectively.Serum creatinine levels in microchimerism-positive patients were significantly lower than those in microchimerism-negative patients.Conclusion:These results suggest that plasma DNA microchimerism is present in certain patients following renal transplantation and measurement of plasma DNA microchimerism using quantitative RT-PCR might be a useful predictor for the acceptance of transplanted kidneys.

Objective To observe the expression and localization of D J-1 in renal fibrosis, and to investigate the expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and the level of β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation in human tubular epithelial cells. Methods In vitro, the human tubular epithehal cells (HKC cell line) were cultured with 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for 72 h. The protein expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and DJ-1 were measured by Western blot. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of D J-1 mRNA. The intracellular distribution of DJ-1 was observed by confocal microscope. In vivo, Masson stain was used to evaluate the level of renal fibrosis. The expression and disposition of DJ-1 in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. HKC cells were transfected with pEGFP-N1-DJ-1 via lipofectamine 2000. The efficiency of transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope. The expressions of DJ-1, E-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation level in the transfected cells were detected by Western blot. Results The expressions of DJ-1 protein and DJ-1 mRNA were up-regulated in renal tubular EMT cells. Most of DJ-1 protein localized in cytoplasm, and some was in nucleus. After stimulation by TGF-β1, the expressions of DJ-1 protein both in cytoplasm and nucleus was greatly increased, especially in nucleus. In vivo, renal tissue expressed DJ-1 in tubular epithelia, but little expression in glomeruli. In renal tissue from 5/6-nephrectomized rots, DJ-1 expression was greatly increased. In the DJ-1 transfectants, the expressions of DJ-1, vimentin and β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation level were up-regulated, but E-cadherin expression was suppressed. Conclusion The increased expression of DJ-1 may promote renal fibrosis.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors associated with three-year survival outcome in patients with serous ovarian adenocarcinoma by classification tree.Methods Retrospectively we analyzed 81 cases with serous ovarian adenocarcinoma who had 3-year clinical outcomes and were hospitalized in People's Hospital from Jan 1991 to Dec 2003 by classification and regression trees(CART)software.Establish the classification tree.Results Among the factors that were associated with the 3-year survival rate,age was the most important factor,other factors in turn were International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stage,lymphoid metastasis,residual size after operation,chemotherapy and pathologic grade.By substitution variable analysis,it was demonstrated that there was cross interaction between age and residual size as well as age and chemotherapy.Conclusion Age,FIGO stage,lymphoid metastasis,residual size after operation,chemotherapy and pathologic grade are important prognostic factors related with three-year survival probability of serous ovarian adenocarcinoma patients.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of overexpression of PTEN on renal epithelial-mesenchymal trans-differentiation induced by TGF-β1,and the signaling transduction mechanism.Methods HKC cells were transfected with GFP-PTEN via lipofectAMINE2000.The efficiency of transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope.The expression of PTEN protein and mRNA in the translected cells was detected by Western blot and RT-PCR respectively.The experiment was divided into four groups:normal group,TGF-β1 stimulation group,GFP-PTEN+TGF-β1 group and empty vector+TGF-β1 group.The expression of E-cadherin,a-SMA,Akt and p-Akt was detected by Western blot.Results Most ceils transfected with GFP-PTEN expressed GFP.The expression of PTEN protein and mRNA was strongly increased when HKC cells were transfected with GFP-PTEN(all P<0.05).In both TGF-β1 stimulation group and empty vector+TGF-β1 group,the expression level of E-cadherin was lower(all P<0.05),while that of p-Akt and a-SMA was higher than in normal group(both P<0.05).The expression level of p-Akt and a-SMA in GFP-PTEN+TGF-β1 group was Iower(both P<0.05),while that of E-cadherin was higher than in TGF-β1 stimulation group and empty vector+TGF-β1 group(both P<0.05).The expression of Akt was similar in the four groups.Conclusion Overexpression of PTEN can inhibit renal epithelial-mesenehymal trans-differentiation induced by TGF-β1 through suppressing the activation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the detection of IMP andVIM metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs)genes in clinically iso-lated gram-negative bacteria as well as bacterial resistance toβ-lactam antimicrobial agents.Methods 113 clinically isolated bacteria were performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing by Kirby-Bauer method ,drug-resistant genes IMP and VIM were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),PCR products were sequenced and aligned with BLAST software. Results VIM gene was detected in 1 Pseudomonas fluorescens strain ,IMP gene was detected in 15 strains ,they were Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=6),Acinetobacter baumannii (n=3),Escherichia coli (n=2),Ralstonia picket-tii (n=1),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=1 ),Citrobacter amalonaticua (n=1 ),and Enterobacter cloacae (n=1 ). BLAST results showed that VIM gene was VIM-2 subtype,similarity with gene bank was 99%;all IMP genes were IMP-1 subtype,which were highly homologous ,similarity was 98%-99%.Resistant rates of IMP positive strains to ceftriaxone,cefotaxime,cefoxitin,aztreonam and imipenem were all significantly higher than negative strains (all P <0.05).Conclusion IMP genes of different strains are highly homologous,all are IMP-1 type,indi-cating that IMP genes are highly transmissible and can spread among different species of bacteria.IMP genes are related with resistance ofβ-lactam antimicrobial agents.

Objective To study the effect of serum uric acid (UA) levels on kidney graft function as well as long-term graft survival after renal transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 859 kidney transplant recipients from Jan.2008 to May 2014 were investigated retrospectively.The differences in clinical indexes between normal UA group and hyperuricemia group were compared based on UA levels.Cox regression model was built to analyze the effect of elevated UA on overall graft loss,death censored graft failure and death of patients,respectively.Kaplan-Meier graft survival curve was used to compare the overall graft loss,death censored graft failure and death of patients between normal UA group and hyperuricemia group.Results The average follow-up time was 38.6 ± 17.3 months for 859 kidney transplant recipients.590 (68.7％) recipients were enrolled in normal UA group and 269 (31.3％) recipients were defined as hyperuricemia patients.The average eGFR in hyperuricemia group was significantly decreased as compared with normal UA group (79.4 ± 20.93 vs.94.7 ± 20.55,P＜0.001).Cox regression model showed that if UA level increased per 10 mol/L,the risk of overall graft lost increased 1.070 times (P＜0.001) and the risk of death censored graft failure increased 1.121 times (P＜0.001) accordingly.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the overall graft loss was dramatically decreased (P =0.009),and the death censored graft failure was significantly decreased (P＜0.0001) in hyperuricemia group as compared with that in normal UA group.The death of patients showed no significant difference between two groups (P =0.638).Conclusion Serum UA levels after kidney transplantation affect graft function as well as long-term graft survival.
