Objective To compare the graft function of 2 methods of kidney harvesting,the modified method of combined liver and kidney procurement and rapid en bloc kidney procurement. Methods The clinical data of 220 cadaveric renal transplantation recipients were collected(12 months follow-up),174 cases from en bloc kidney procurement and 46 from combined liver and kidney procurement.The average harvesting time,the incidence of renal vein injury,1 year kidney survival and incidence of acute rejection were compared between the two methods.Results In average harvesting time and incidence of renal vein injury,the en bloc kidney procurement were better than the method of combined liver and kidney procurement.However,the method of combined liver and kidney procurement was better than the en bloc kidney procurement in 1 year kidney survival,1 year incidence of acute rejection and average warm ischemia time.There was no difference in 1 year survival of patients and 24 h,1 week and 1 year graft function after transplantation. Conclusion Although the method of combined liver and kidney procurement is better than the en bloc kidney procurement in 1 year kidney survival and 1 year incidence of acute rejection,there is no difference between the 2 methods in 1 year survival of patients and graft function after transplantation.

In order to compare the characteristics of ethano l production, a serie s respiratory deficient mutants (rho -) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the ir wil d parent strain (rho +) were assayed for ethanol yield, ethanol fermentation ki netics, ethanol tolerance, and activities of ethanol-dehydrogenase. The data i nd icated that: Though the average amount of ethanol produced by mutants rho - a nd by wild rho + strains were similar, some mutants produced a little more amount of ethanol than wild type. The kinetics curve of ethanol fermentation suggested t h at rho - mutants had a little higher ethanol fermenting speeds than wild type . Th e activity of ethanol-dehydrogenase per unit weight of protein of rho - mutan ts c ells were higher than that of wild strain rho +; the activity of ethanol-dehyd rogenase per unit volume of fermentation medium of rho + were higher than that rho - mutants,mainly due to the higher biomass of rho + were higher than that of rho - mutan ts. Some rho - mutants could tolerate higher ethanol concentration than wild rh o + stra in, but some not. If higher ethanol tolerance and higher ethanol yield rho - mu tants were used in fermenting process,higher ethanol yield would be expected,but some problems such as that rho - mutants grew slowly should be considered.

Objective To explore the changes and clinical significance of prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT),fibrinogen time(FGB)and platelet(PLT)on Kawasaki disease(KD)in children with acute and convalescent 10 d,which aimed at early diagnosis,prediction and prognosis of coronary artery lesions.Methods Thirty-eight cases who were diagnosed KD were selected as KD group,30 cases age-matched acute respiratory infections in children with fever as fever group,moreover,30 cases of a class of elective surgery preoperative children admitted to surgical departments were put as control group.The plasma PT,APTT,TT,FGB,PLT of all cases and plasma APTT,FGB,PLT in recovery 10 d in children with KD disease were detected,and then the results were compared between the 3 groups;and the results of APTT,FGB,PLT in KD children with acute and convalescent 10 d to coronary artery dilatation groups or not were compared.Results 1.APTT prolonged and FGB,PLT increased in KD children with acute stage,which had a significant difference compared with other groups(Pa0.05).2.When comparing the results of APTT,FGB,PLT in KD children with acute and convalescent 10 d,the difference was significant(Pa

Objective To study the level of serum IL-10 in renal allgraft recipients with stable renal function,acute rejection,infection and chronic allgraft nephropathy(CAN),and to study the level of serum IL-10 in stable renal function recipients with different postoperative time,different dosage of CsA,different rejective frequency in order to find out the value of IL-10 in the follow-up of out-patients. Methods IL-10 were detected randomly by ELISA technique in 127 renal allgraft recipients during the follow-up,and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled as controls.Results Level of serum IL-10 in stable renal function group was significantly higher than that in rejection group,CAN group and control group(P

Objective To investigate the clinical value of bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome. Methods The characteristics of SAPHO syndrome on 99Tcm-MDP imaging of 8 cases were retrospectively analyzed. Results The 99TcmMDP bone scan was positive for all patients. Seven cases were found lesions in the costoclavicular region, 3cases involved with unilateral sacroiliac joint, 2 cases involved with spine and 1 patient with extremity. Four lesions were found without relevant clinical symptoms. Conclusion Bone scintigraphy is useful for the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome, especially for those lesions with no clinical symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and application of histopathology diagnosis of endometrial tissues obtained by endometrial cell collector (Jingyou, SAP-1). Methods One hundred and ninety-three patients whose endometrial lesions should be excluded were selected. First, endometrial tissue were obtained from the patients by Jingyou, then they underwent comprehensive curettage under hysteroscopy. The histopathology diagnosis was performed respectively. The specimen satisfaction rate and diagnostic accuracy was analyzed and compared. Results The specimen satisfaction rate of curettage under hysteroscopy was 95.85%(185/193). The specimens of 8 cases were not satisfied because the tissues were not enough. The specimen satisfaction rate of Jingyou was 82.38% (159/193). The specimens of 34 cases were not satisfied, among whom in 10 cases scratches did not throughout the whole palace antrum, and in 24 cases tissues quality were poor. The endometrial thickness in unsatisfactory specimen by Jinyou was significantly thinner than that in satisfactory specimen:(0.64 ± 0.18) cm vs. (0.97 ± 0.43) cm, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The diagnostic accordance rate between Jingyou and curettage under hysteroscopy was 79.87%(127/159). The sensitivity of Jingyou from high to low was 94.19% (81/86) in normal menstrual endometrial, 7/10 in endometrial carcinoma/ atypical hyperplasia, 67.86%(38/56) in endometrial hyperplasia and 1/7 in endometrial polyps. Missed diagnosis of jingyou inluded 2 cases of endometrial carcinoma and 4 cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia. The misdiagnosed rate of high grade endometrial lesions was 6/16, and the patients were misdiagnosed because the tissues were not enough. Four cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia had underwent conservative treatment of repeated curettage. Conclusions Application of Jingyou can obtain micro endometrial tissues, and the accordance rate of histopathology diagnosis is high with curettage under hysteroscopy. When the collector makes a comprehensive collection to the uterine cavity specimen, it can accurately screen endometrial carcinoma and atypical hyperplasia. The patients who have endometrial atypical hyperplasia and receive conservative treatment and curettage repeatedly curettage, thin endometrium and ultrasonic highly suspected endometrial polyps, are not recommend to use Jingyou to obtain specimen. When the specimen is not satisfied using the collector, additional hysteroscopy should be performed to avoid misdiagnosis of high grade endometrial lesions.
