Objective Based on detection of the soluble LAIR-1 (sLAIR-1) and sIL-2R in the bile from recipient after liver transplant, the role of sLAIR-1 and sIL-2R in graft acute rejection were analyzed. Methods Bile sLAIR-1 level and sIL-2R were determined by double mAb sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in 55 cases of liver transplantation. Results In 22 recipients with normal graft function, sLAIR-1 and sIL-2R were detected at low level in the bile. In the 29 cases of liver acute rejection (AR), significant increase of bile sIL-2R level was detected on the lst and 2nd d before final diagnosis. With the effective methylprednisolone pulse therapy, sIL-2R level was decreased significantly on the 3rd d. On the other hand, remarkable increase of bile sLAIR-1 was found on the lst,2nd and 3rd d before final diagnosis. After of methylprednisolone pulse therapy for 3 d, bile sLAIR-1resturned to the control level. Conclusion Both bile sIL-2R and sLAIR-1 are detected at high level in the recipients suffering from liver acute rejection. The level of bile sLAIR-1 changes dramatically and responsively according to liver acute rejection. Therefore, detecting these two markers synergistically may be a promising monitor for rejection after liver transplantation.

BACKGROUND:Pulmonary infection is the main complication after kidney transplantation, and its onset and morbidity may be related to conventional oral drugs after kidney transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of methylprednisolone instead of prednisone on severe pulmonary infection after kidney transplantation.
METHODS:Clinical data of 58 patients with severe pulmonary infection after kidney transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. First, according to the characteristics of post-onset patients and lung CT findings, broad-spectrum antibiotics and anti-fungal treatment were adopted, and subsequently targeted therapy, that is, withdrawal or adjustment of dosage and combination regimen of immunosuppressive agents, was employed depending on etiology, fungi and virus detection results. Among the 58 patients, 28 patients were injected methylprednisolone, and 30 patients took oral prednisone. Hyoxemia correction, support therapy and immune replacement therapy were applied.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Thirty-nine of 58 patients (67.2%) were positive for pathogens, including 7 cases of simple bacterial pneumonia, 4 cases of fungal pneumonia, 3 cases of simple cytomegalovirus infection, and 25 cases of mixed infections (5 cases of multiple bacterial infections, 17 cases of fungal and bacterial co-infections, and 3 cases of fungi, bacteria and cytomegalovirus co-infections). Patients subjected to methylprednisolone treatment spent shorter time to recover their temperature than those undergoing oral prednisone (P<0.05). In addition, creatinine fluctuation range in the methylprednisolone group was less than that in the prednisone group (P<0.05). The results showed that intravenous injection of methylprednisolone may accelerate absorption of inflammatory exudate in the lung and shorten treatment time.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different surgical techniques on congenital cataract on children.METHODS: Twenty-two children (1-3 years old) with congenital cataract were randomly divided into two groups (group A and group B). With group A (10 patients, 20 eyes), we applied 23-gauge (23G) trans corneal limbus vitrectomy system to complete lens cortex gettering, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy;With group B (12 patients, 24 eyes), we used the phacoemulsification I/A to complete lens cortex gettering, and performed anterior vitrectomy with anterior vitreous cutting instrument. After that, the differences in intraoperative and postoperative complications between two groups were compared. RESULTS:In group A, the width of corneal limbal incision was 0.6mm, the incision was self-sealing, and the anterior chamber was stable and iris did not prolapse during the surgery. In group B, the width of corneal limbal incision was 3mm, anterior chamber was unstable and intraoperative iris prolapse occurred in 14 eyes (58%). And the incision need to be stitched up after surgery. In the postoperative follow-up of 6-24 months (an average of 14 months), we found that corneal neovascularization did not occur in group A, while in group B, corneal neovascularization occurred in four eyes (17%); Other complications, such as posterior capsular opacification,retinal detachment, glaucoma, hypotony or endophthalmitis did not occur in either group.CONCLUSION: The 23G trans corneal limbus vitrectomy system used in pediatric cataract surgery is safer and more effective than phacoemulsification I/A. It is promising in treatment of congenital cataract on children.

AIM: To investigate the alterations of tear film after sutureless large incision manual cataract extraction (SLIMCE). METHODS: Sixty-eight SLIMCE operation eyes were studied with slit-limp microscope, break- up time (BUT), SchirmmerⅠtest (SⅠt),and fluorescence(FL) to observe the alterations of tear film at different time points in postoperation. Impression cytology and microphoto-analyses technique were also applied to observe the goblet cells at different time points postoperation(7,14,30,60,90 days). RESULTS: Subjective complaint of dry eye within 90 days after the operations were significantly increased compare with preoperations(5-27,23,19,16,13; 2-16,14,8,6,3). The schirmmer Ⅰ test were greatly increased in 14 days postoperation(10.1±4.5;15.0±4.7,13.8±5.7),the mean scores of fluorescence increased (0-17,9,5;0-8,3,1) and the mean break-up time decreased in 30 days post-operation(10.3±2.2;5.5±2.3,7.0±2.4,7.9±2.2) (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: SLIMCE operation have effect on the stability of tear film.

Objective To investigate sequence variations of 12 miRNA genes in multiple myeloma(MM) in order to find whether sequence variations in miRNA genes are associated with tumorigenesis and discuss the clinical significance of MM associated with miRNA genes mutations. Methods The miRNA gene mutations in 20 cases of MM, 4 MM-derived cell lines and 20 controls were detected by the methods of polymerase chain reaction single stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and silver staining technique. Both clinical features and laboratory results were analyzed simultaneously. Results The electrophoretic patterns showed a total of three variations in miR-19a, miR-19b and miRNA-335,which were observed in 3 MM cells (15 %, 3/20). We also found variations of miRNA-335 in MM-derived cell lines KM-3and RPMI8226. However, no sequence alteration in the miRNA genes was observed in our set of controls. One of the three MM patients died, and two of them were detected mutations at the terminal stage of the disease.Conclusion A relative high frequency of miRNA gene mutation was found in MM and MM derived cell lines, which suggests possibility of a main mechanism underlying tumorigenesis. And, detecting miRNA gene mutations in MM might be benefit to evaluate the progression and prognosis of disease.

BACKGROUND: Hepatic myelopathy results from liver disease, which lacks of effective cure method. Liver transplantation has attempted to cure this disease; however, the long-term therapeutic effect is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: To explore the long-term therapeutic effect of liver transplantation in patients with hepatic myelopathy. METHODS: The clinical data of 2 patients with hepatic myelopathy, who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation, in August 2002 and November 2004, at the 309 Hospital of Chinese PLA, were analyzed retrospectively. The time of follow-up was 18 and 43 months, respectively. The muscle strength of double lower limbs in 2 patients was assessed prior to and after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Two patients recovered well at 4 weeks after transplantation, the clinical symptom and physical signs of patients were improved obviously, the blood routine examination and other biochemical index were normal,and the function of transplanted kidney was normal. Two patients discharged at 6 weeks after transplantation. Patient 1 could stand for a long time at months 6 after transplantation, walked slowly with the supporter after 12 months and without the supporter at 43 months. The muscular strength of two lower limbs was grade 4. And the liver function was normal. Patients 2 could move his lower limbs in bed at months 6 after transplantation, walked with the supporter at 18 months. The muscular strength of two lower limbs was grade 3. The liver function was normal. It demonstrated that liver transplantation is beneficial to control hepatic myelopathy and recover muscular strength of two lower limbs. It is a newly developed, effective curing method for treating hepatic myelopathy. However, the numbers were small with short time observation, thus, the long-term therapeutic effect still need to be explored.
