Objective To investigate the expression of CD2 in peripheral blood T lymphocytes in acute rejection after small bowel transplantation (SBT) in rats.Methods Three groups were set up: Group A (n=18), receiving sham operation and feeding of common feedstuff; Group B (n=18) receiving SD rat to SD rat iso-series SBT and the treatment of routine liquid infusion and antibiotics after operation; Group C (n=18) receiving SD rat to Wistar rat taniso-series SBT and the same post- operation treatments as in group B. Samples of grafts and peripheral blood in the three groups were collected on the day 3, 5 and 7 respectively after SBT for detection of flow cytometry. The intestinal grafts were obtained for pathological examination.Results The survival time of rats in group C, group B and group A was 7.0? 2.1, 33.3? 2.3 and more than 90 days, respectively. There was significant difference between group C and groups A, B (P

Objective To summarize the practical experience of 2 cases of anemia following living related intestinal transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 2 cases of anemia following living related intestinal transplantation were studied retrospectively. After the surgical procedure regiments of blood transfusion, hemostasia, to cut down the dosage of some drug, to fill up raw material of hematopoientic system and requisite nutrition support were used to treat the patients. Results Four weeks later, the diseased conditions of the two patients became better and better. The index of hemoglobin were increased remarkably, to normal level 100 to 120?g/L.Conclusion Anemia is one of the common syndrome in living related intestinal transplantation. The correction of anemia is very important in treating such patients.

Objective To establish the model of abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation and grope steady operation methods.Methods The heart transplantation was performed in the control group(group A) and experiment group(group B) with 30 rats in each group.Another 30 animals not performed the operation were as the blank group(group C).During the procurement of the donor heart saline solution containing heparitin was injected into the inferior vena cava of liver.At the same time abdominal aorta was transected.Then heart was perfused until it stopped.The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and content of malondialdehyde(MDA) in blood was measured after transplantation.Results The total perfusion time of the graft was shortened within 2 min and hot ischemia time was shortened within 25 s in the group B.The activity of SOD and content of MDA between two groups was significantly different(P<0.05).Conclusion The perfusing method improved with new technique is quicker and more effective than the traditional one and results in the successful rate improvement.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of reducing average radiation dose and increasing protective weight on the auditory system (tympanic cavity,the bony portion of eustachian tube,vestibule,and cochlea) during intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods The planning system (ADAC Pinnacle3 8.0m) with direct machine parameter optimization was used to optimize the IMRT planning for 40 patients with NPC (stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ:20 patients ;stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ:20 patients).Without reducing the radiation dose for target volume,the IMRT planning was optimized by limiting the average dose administered to the auditory system or increasing the protective weight for the protected organs in auditory system.The protective effects were assessed by analyzing the average dose received by the auditory system.Results After limiting the average dose administered to the auditory system without reducing the radiation dose for target volume,the average dose received by the auditory system was significantly reduced (3855.5-5391.3 Gy vs 2960.3-4559.6 Gy,P =0.000 for all) ; when the protective weight for the auditory system was increased,the average dose received by the auditory system was even more reduced (3855.5-5391.3 Gy vs 2725.4-4271.4 Gy,P =0.000 for all).For all three regimens,the average dose was significantly higher in stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ patients than in stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ patients (P =0.000 for all).Conclusions For the IMRT planning for NPC,limiting the average dose administered to the auditory system can greatly reduce the average dose received by the auditory system,and increasing the protective weight for the auditory system can further reduce the average dose received by the auditory system.However,the protective effect on the auditory system may be reduced as the stage of NPC increases.

BACKGROUND: A latest research indicates that γ~δ T cells following touching with microbe products show characteristics as dendritic cells and antigen-presenting cells (APC) and induce intensive immune response of CD4~+ CD8~+ γ~δ T cells.OBJECTIVE: To verify APC-like functions of γ~δ T cells during transplantation rejection, investigate a simple and effective method to amplify γ~δ T cells in vitro, and to infect γ~δ T cells with FasL retrovirus system.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An animal experiment was performed at Central Laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from August 2007 to August 2008. MATERIALS: A total of 60 healthy adult Wistar rats of clean grade and weighing 200-320 g were used to establish donor and receptor models with segmental heterotopic small intestine transplantation.METHODS: Models of segmental heterotopic small intestine transplantation were established using three sleevelet vascular anastomosis. γ~δ T cells were obtained using flow cytometry and its function was demonstrated. Mononuclear cells were routinely separated and amplified with Mtb-Ag. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cell proliferation was observed; percentage of γ~δ T cells for lymphocytes was detected using TCRγ~δ magnetic beads kit; γ~δ T cells following transfection were detected using pLXSN FasL retrovirus system. RESULTS: Activated γ~δ T cells showed dendritic cell-like adhesion function and APC-like functions during transplantation rejection. γ~δ T cells accounted 4.5% for mononuclear cells, the purification of γ~δ T cells was up to 72.2% on the 10~(th) day after activated by Mtb-Ag, and the purification of γ~δ T cells was up to 99.1% through positive magnetic sorting. 285 bp FasL fragment demonstrated that the gene integration was observed in PA317 cells. The ration of FasL+ cells was 97.3% after infected by pLXSN FasL retrovirus system.CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated APC-like functions of γ~δ T cells during transplantation rejection. γ~δ T cells were successfully amplified in vitro. PA317/ pLXSN2FasL+ retrovirus system was successfully constructed and γ~δ T cells were modified by FasL retrovirus system.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and results of the application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap in total ear reconstruction with Medpor framework.Methods The main procedures consisted of three stages:stage Ⅰ-skin expansion,stage Ⅱ auricle formation that consisted of orientation of Medpor implant and creation of coverage for the implant by both expaned skin flap and temporoparietal fascia flap,and stage Ⅲ-treatment of residual ear and recontruction of auricular lobule. Results Twenty-two ears in 22 unilateral microtia patients were constructed using Medpor implants covered with both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap over the last three years,and they were accepted as pleasing by the patients.Conclusions Application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap can assure no extrusion of Medpor implant in ear reconstruction.Further more,the two layers of transferred tissues will not affect the profile details of the reconstructed ear.And because the skin covering the framework and fascia is derived from frommastoid region,the appearance and profile of the reconstructed auricle is true to nature and close to that of the opposite one.
