BACKGROUND:It has great significance to understand individual human leucocyte antigen allele(HLA) haplotype and genotype in organ allotransplantation.OBJECTIVE:To analyse HLA allele frequency,haplotype frequency and characteristices in 36 cases of living-related donor kidney transplantation.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The gene polymorphism analysis was performed in the Tissue Typing Laboratory of Organ Transplantation of Ruikang Hospital of Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical University from January 2007 to June 2008.PARTICIPANTS:Thirty-six cases of living-related donor kidney transplantation,who were relatives of Guangxi Han population.METHODS:HLA-Ⅰantigen was detected by dry plates of monoclonal antibodies,and HLA-Ⅱ antigen was subjected to genotyping using PCR-SSP technique.And then the allele and haplotype frequencies of HLA-A,B,DRB1 were calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:HLA haplotype and genotype of Guangxi Han population.RESULTS:A total of 11 HLA-A,24 HLA-B and 13 HLA-DR alleles were detected among 36 cases,showing a rich polymorphism.A2-B46,A11-B60,B46-DRB1*09,B60-DRB1*15 and A2-B46-DRB1*09 among 144 haplotypes were informative with frequency higher than 0.05.A total of 10 HLA-A-B haplotypes and 9 HLA-B-DRB1 haplotypes were in strongest linkage disequilibrium.Distribution of HLA-A,B,DRB1 alleles and haplotypes in Guanxi population is similar to Han population in South China,such as Hunan and Taiwan,but had its own characteristics.CONCLUSION:HLA alleles have richer polymorphisms with exhibit geographic genetic characteristics.

BACKGROUND: The quantity and bioactivity of isolated islet are vital to islet transplantation; while, the cold ischemia time and human leucocyte antigen (HLA) typing are key factors to islet quantity and bioactivity which inflect islet transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of cold ischemia time and blood compatibility on quantity and bioactivity of islet cells.DESIGN: Observational study.SETTING: Ruikang Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS: Organs from voluntary donors died of irreversible coma were adopted whose blood-type and HLA typing had been known, pancreases acquisition was carried on after other organs ablation or in the meantime. The blood of identical ABO and HLA matching conformity, or HLA cross-matching hypersensitization (missmatching over 3 Iocuses),or panel reaction antibody (PRA) ＞ 50%, or lymphocyte cytotoxin crossmatching test positive. The isolated and purified islet suspension was filtered by 70 μm filter, which result in preparing 1.2×105/L islet suspention.METHODS: Hypertonic citrate adenine solution was perfused into aorta, and kidney-pancreases and kidney-pancreases-liver were cut together or kidney-pancreases-liver was cut separately. Islet activity was judged by diphenylthiocarbazone (DTZ) dyeing and acridine orange (AO) dyeing; meanwhile, twelve pancreases far from contamination were aquired, mean ablation time was 15 minutes; cold ischemia time ranged from 2.5 to 8 hours. Cold ischemia time of nine pancreases was controlled in 5 hours, warm ischemia time was 0-3 minutes, and peptic time was (15±2.4) minutes, correlation of islet cells and histocompatibility with survival of islet cells was analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Survival rate of islet cells; counts of platelet, heterophil granulocyte and monocyte.RESULTS: The cutting of kidney, pancreases and liver were successful. If the cold ischemia time was controlled within 5 hours, activity of islets was above 80%. Pancreatic gland used for islet transplantation and cutting of other organs could not affect activity of islet cells. When human islets were exposed to human blood, it would induce a rapid consumption of platelets, neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes in the blood. Consumption of blood cells was more in the HLA typing groups than that in the control group. After adding heparin, there was significant difference in cell account among the three groups (P ＜ 0.05) and the reaction was relieved obviously. After 24-hour cultivation, there were significant difference in active islets quantity between HLA typing compatibility group and HLA typing incompatibility group (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Pancreatic gland obtained under the cold ischemia time ＜ 5 hours can be used in clinical transplantation of islet cells; a good histocompatibility can raise successful rate of transplantation of islet cells.

Objectives To assess outcomes of endovascular treatment for critical limb ischemia in patients with TASC C and D femoropopliteal lesions.Methods Between January 2009 and January 2012,patients with critical limb ischemia for TASC Ⅱ C or D lesions underwent endovascular treatment.Patients demographic,pre-and post- procedure ABI,primary patency rate,limb salvage at 1,3,6,12,24 months were reviewed.Results There were 58 males,38 females, mean age was (76 ± 10 ) years,with Rutherford Ⅳ in 68 limbs,Ⅴ in 23 limbs,Ⅵ in 5 limbs.Successful rate of procedure for target lesions was 94.80％,angioplasty alone was performed in 13 limbs,stent in 80 patients,thromblysis assisted angioplasty and stent in 8 limbs.Stents of popliteal artery were implanted in 47 limbs.Major complication rate was 19.80％,two patients died within 30 days.Mean ABIs were 0.25 ±0.17 and 0.76 ±0.23 before and after procedure.Mean time of follow up was (12 ± 6) months.Primary patency rates and limbs salvage rate were 94.79％ and 95.83％,93.73％ and 95.83％,88.01％ and 93.42％,78.34％ and 93.42％,68.38％ and 83.04％ on 1,3,6,12,24 months respectively.Conclusions Patients with critical limb ischemia caused by TASC C/D lesions often suffer from significant comorbid medical conditions.Endovascular procedure has a high risk of morbidity and restenosis,but short term limb salvage rate is satisfactory.

BACKGROUND: The incompatible reaction may occur after islet transplantation, which affects the survival and functions of cells. OBJECTIVE: To explore the islet cells injury and its causes during islet transplantation. METHODS: The pancreases of voluntary, brain death, donors were isolated by collagenase, and the islet cells injury was measured with different cold ischemia times. The islet cells were cultured with blood as follow: HLA matching group: recipient whole blood + islet cells, recipient whole blood + islet cells + heparin; HLA mismatching group: recipient whole blood + islet cells, recipient whole blood + islet cells + heparin; Control group: recipient whole blood + RPMI1640. The potential injury to islet cells was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The pancreases were smoothly obtained. The activity of islets may be more than 80% within 5 hours of ischemia preservation time, which was less than 19% if the cold ischemia preservation time was over 8 hours. When human islets were exposed to human blood, it will induce a rapid consumption of blood cells, no matter HLA matching or HLA mismatching. After adding heparin into the blood, these events were avoided. At 24 hours of in vitro culture, the number of survival islet cells in the HLA matching group was greater than that of the HLA mismatching group (P < 0.05). The results described that cold ischemia time affects islet cells activity, reduce the cold ischemia preservation time within 5 hours and HLA typing are conductive to enhance the quantity of living islets.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of occupational musculoskeletal disorders among workers in heavy-duty automobile parts factories in Beijing Municipality, so as to provide insights into development of effective interventions for occupational musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: The workers in three heavy-duty automobile truck parts factories in Beijing Municipality were recruited using the convenient sampling method during the period from May 2019 to October 2020. Subjects' demographic characteristics, type of job and prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders at various sites were collected using self-designed electronic questionnaires, and the factors affecting the development of occupational musculoskeletal disorders were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 264 workers were enrolled, including 260 males (98.48%) and 4 females (1.52%). The participants had a mean age of (31.71±6.13) years, and mean duration of (7.51±5.25) years at current position, and mechanical technician was the major type of work (129 workers, 48.86%). The prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders was 70.08% among the participants, and high prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders was found in the lower back/waist (41.28%), shoulder (40.15%), neck (39.02%) and upper back (33.33%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified females (OR=1.280, 95%CI: 1.021-1.602) and head-down posture at work (OR=2.644, 95%CI: 1.034-6.763) as risk factors for occupational musculoskeletal disorders at neck; females (OR=1.633, 95%CI: 1.624-2.117), sheet metal workers, mechanical technicians and painters (OR: 5.811-10.452, 95%CI: 1.205-54.027), working in an uncomfortable posture (OR：1.376-7.749, 95%CI: 1.034-27.270) and frequent working overtime (OR=2.081, 95%CI: 1.192-4.137) as risk factors for occupational musculoskeletal disorders at shoulder; and sheet metal workers, mechanical technicians and painters (OR: 8.760-11.948, 95%CI: 1.630-66.927), working in an uncomfortable posture (OR：4.067-12.185, 95%CI: 1.332-47.523) and frequent working overtime (OR=2.201, 95%CI: 1.142-4.244) as risk factors for occupational musculoskeletal disorders at waist/back. Conclusions The prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders is high among workers in heavy-duty automobile parts factories, which mainly occur at shoulder, neck, waist and back. Type of work, working posture and working duration are main factors affecting the development of occupational musculoskeletal disorders.

Objective Leucine-rich repeat transmembrane neuronal protein 2 (LRRTM2) localizes to excitatory glutamatergic synapses,and triggers the formation of excitatory synapses.This study aims to investigate the expression of LRRTM2 protein in the temporal lobe tissue of SD rats induced by lithiumpilocarpine,and explore its roles in epilepsy.Methods Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were induced by lithium-pilocarpine and randomly divided into 6h,24h,72h,7d,14d,30d and 60d subgroups.Eight SD rats were treated with normal saline instead of pilocarpine as controls. Expression of LRRTM2 protein was accessed by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorcscence and Western blot analysis. Results LRRTM2 protein mainly expressed in neurons of temporal lobe,gradually decreased in acute phase,and then up-regulated in latent and chronic periods.The immunohistochemistry A values in model rats from 6 h,24h,72h,7d,14d,30d and 60d subgroups were 0.286 ±0.012,0.227 ± 0.008,0.425 ± 0.015,0.509 ±0.019,0.579 ± 0.018,0.488 ± 0.018 and 0.566 ± 0.014,respectively,compared to 0.330 ±0.016 in control group ( t =3.965,11.987,9.131,14.121,20.452,12.929 and 22.786,all P＜0.05). Gray value ratios of LRRTM2/β-actin in different groups of model rats were 0.0354 ± 0.0043,0.0174 ± 0.0026,0.0685 ± 0.0064,0.0957 ± 0.0125,0.1044 ± 0.0103,0.0910 ± 0.0108,and 0.1012 ±0.0063,respectively,which were significant differences from control group (0.0471 ± 0.0033,t=4.354,14.191,5.989,7.541,10.565,7.730and15.316,allP＜0.05).Conclusions LRRTM2 protein gradually increases in the neurons of temporal lobe of SD rats treated by lithium-pilocarpine in silence and chronic phases,which indicates that it may play an important role in cpileptogenesis.

In this study, the rat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model was established through tail vein injection with low dose of streptozotocin (STZ) and high fat diet for 8 weeks, and then treated with Jiaotai Pill. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), fasting serum insulin (FINS), free fatty acid(FFA) levels and blood lipid were assayed. HOMA-IR was calculated. Pancreatic pathology was performed. And pancreatic triglyceride (TG) content was examined by the lipid extraction method. Pancreatic islet cell apoptosis were detected by terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). According to the results, the model group showed abnormal OGTT, increased FINS, HOMA-IR, FFA, lipid disorder, obvious fat accumulation and significantly increased TG content in pancreatic tissues, and enhanced pancreatic islet cell apoptosis. Compared with the model group, the Jiaotai Pill group displayed improved OGTT, reduced FINS, HOMA-IR, FFA, recovered lipid disorder, decreased fat accumulation and significantly declined TG content in pancreatic tissues, and lowered pancreatic islet cell apoptosis. In summary, Jiaotai pill could effectively treat type 2 diabetes in rats. Its mechanism may be related to the reduction in pancreatic fat accumulation and islet cell apoptosis.
