With the development of organ transplantation for nearly half a century, currently the hot issues in clinical renal transplantation have already shifted to the application of low toxicity immunosuppressive drugs and their projects, as well as the research of technique which induces low or no immunity response to the specific donor. At present the main effective strategies of inducing immune tolerance are donor specific blood transfusion and donor specific bone marrow transplantation. This article summarizes the background, mechanism and clinical application of these two strategies.

The major goal of microbial ecology is to study the structure and function of complex micro-bial communities. New molecular biological techniques have been successfully applied to analyze mi-crobial community structure. However they do not provide information on the physiologic properties of the detected microorganisms. A new tool for structure-function analyses in microbial ecology, micro-autoradiography combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization (MAR-FISH) can be used to simul-taneously examine the phylogenetic identity and the specific activity of microorganisms within a com-plex microbial community at a single-cell level. This article reviews the principle, experimental steps of MAR-FISH technique. The application of this technique in study of the environmental microbial com-munity and function is also summarized.

Objective To study the changes of the urinary ?-1 microglobulin and urinary immunoglobulin G(IgG) and to investigate the relationship between these two proteins and the allograft function after renal transplantation.Methods Twenty-nine renal transplant recipients were included in the study.Urinary ?-1 microglobulin and urinary IgG were analyzed at d 1,7,14,21,28 after renal transplantation.The allograft function was evaluated based on the clinical manifestations,laboratory and imaging examinations,and the relationship between urinary ?-1 microglobulin,IgG and serum cretinine(SCr) were analysed. Results Urinary ?-1 microglobulin and urinary IgG correlated with SCr after renal transplantation in one month.Of all the 29 cases,14 experienced allograft function recovery(group A),and 15 failed(group B).Urinary ?-1 microglobulin decreased significantly in group A(P

Objective To study the thalamic metabolic alterations and its correlation with cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD).Methods The cognitive function of 34 patients with CSVD and 26 matched volunteers were evaluated by Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA), and received single voxel 1H-MRS examination to detect the content of NAA,Cho and Cr,and record the ratio of NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr on bilateral thalami.The differences of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr on bilateral thalami between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr and MoCA total score and its sub-items score in CSVD group were analyzed.Results ①The MoCA of total score as well as its sub-items such as visual space and executive ability,memory,attention and language for CSVD group were significantly lower than that for the control group(P<0.05);②NAA/Cr on bilateral thalami in CSVD group were both lower than that in the control group(left 1.57±0.18,1.68±0.17,t=2.46,P=0.02;right 1.66±0.21,1.78±0.19,t=2.23,P=0.03), the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);there were no significantly differences in the ratio of Cho/Cr between the two groups(P>0.05);③In CSVD group, the ratio of NAA/Cr on both bilateral thalami were significantly positively correlated with MoCA score (left r=0.83,right r=0.79,P<0.05)as well as visual space and executive ability(left r=0.65,right r=0.46,P<0.05), memory(left r=0.59, right r=0.50, P<0.05), attention(left r=0.42, right r=0.52, P<0.05),language(left r=0.52, right r=0.41, P<0.05), abstraction(left r=0.47, right r=0.40, P<0.05), orientation(left r=0.48,right r=0.42, P<0.05),Cho/Cr were not significantly correlated with MoCA total score and its sub-items(P>0.05).Conclusion The thalamic neuron has been damaged and dysfunctioned in patients with CSVD,and this metabolic abnormality may be related to a wide range of cognitive impairment in CSVD patients.
