Objective To analyze the pathogeny of acute respiration failure after kidney transplantation on early period and discuss the clinical value of mechanical ventilation.Methods A total of 16 cases of acute respiration failure after kidney transplantation on early period were studied retrospectively.Results The main causes were acute pulmonary edema caused by heart failure and serious pneumonia; patients were divided into two groups according to pathogeny: heart failure group (n=8) and non-heart failure group (n=8). It was found that the patients in heart failure group were older, preoperative blood pressure higher, dialysis duration longer, acute respiratory failure occurred earlier and mechanical ventilation time shorter than in non-heart failure group. The mechanical ventilation could raise oxygen pressure in artery blood and correct hypoxemia quickly. The mechanical ventilation could keep oxygen pressure in artery blood on the ideal level.Conclusion The pathogeny of acute respiration failure after kidney transplantation on early period included acute pulmonary edema caused by heart function failure and serious pneumonia; the mechanical ventilation was important to treat patient with acute respiration failure after kidney transplantation on early period because it could ensure oxygen pressure in artery blood in order to win time to cure heart failure and serious pneumonia. Also, the mechanical ventilation could improve prognosis of the patients.

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) is a member of MAP kinase family. Its widespectrum roles in the control of energy metabolism have been indicated in numerous studies. P3 8 participates in the energy metabolism in all major tissues/organs involved in the control of energy metabolism, including adipose tissue, skeletal muscles, islet cells, and liver. In white adipose tissue, p38 plays an important role in adipose differentiation and glucose uptake although it is still inconclusive whether this role of p38 is stimulatory or inhibitory. The stimulatory role of p38 in transcription of the uncoupling protein 1 ( UCP1 ) gene in brown adipose tissue is relatively clear. A fundamental role for p38 in the differentiation of skeletal muscles and mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscles is rather definitive although the role of p3 8 in glucose uptake of skeletal muscles remains controversial. In islet cells, p38 appears to be involved in β-cell apoptosis. P38 has been indicated in the control of preproinsulin gene transcription, but remains controversial. However, it seems clear that p38 does not play a significant role in insulin secretion. In the liver, p38 plays a central role in hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism. Activation of p38 participates in the processes to increase blood glucose levels through reducing glycogen synthesis and increasing hepatic gluconeogenesis. P38 appears to prevent fat storage by inhibiting hepatic lipogenesis and promoting fatty acid oxidation in the liver. Additionally, p38 may play a critical role in cholesterol metabolism by regulating expression of the LDLR gene and bile metabolism. P38 does not only participate in various physiological and pathophysiological processes in cardiomyocytes, but also is heavily involved in the development of atherosclerotic lessions through its influences on monocytes/macrophages, vascular endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze th e risk factors of marketing authorization holder (MAH)pharmacovigilance outsourcing and propose risk management and control strategies , and to provide reference for MAH to successfully implement pharmacovigilance outsourcing and regulatory authorities to formulate corresponding regulatory strategies. METHODS :Based on the principal-agent theory and brainstorming method ,the risk factors were preliminarily determined ,and a questionnaire was designed. The questionnaire survey was carried out among pharmacovigilance staff of 200 MAH in Guangdong province by random sampling. The factor analysis method was used to statistically analyze the questionnaire data ,and the comprehensive risk factors and their respective factor scores were summarized. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed , and 154 valid questionnaires were returned ,with effective recovery rate of 77.00%. The results of factor analysis method showed that there were 4 comprehensive risk factors involved in MAH pharmacovigilance outsourcing activities ,which were service providers and outsourcing management factor (3.792 score),MAH factor (3.766 score),regulations factor (3.626 score)and market factor (3.610 score)from high to low. In view of the above factors ,it is suggested that MAH should focus on improving outsourcing contract ,establishing information communication mechanism with service providers ,strengthening auditing and management,strengthening pharmacovigilance ability and personnel building ,defining appropriate pharmacovigilance outsourcing business contents , and fully doing pre-service investigation of service providers , when MAH conducts outsourcing of pharmacovigilance. It is suggested that relevant departments should formulate pharmacovigilance entrusted quality management specifications or guidelines as soon as possible and strengthen the supervision of service providers. It is suggested to try to establish a pharmacovigilance outsourcing industry associa tion, andstandardize the industry behavior by giving full play to the influence of the association ,so as to avoid the outsourcing risk.
