Objective To evaluate the clinical application of HLA matching in highly sensitized recipients of renal allografts.Methods Recipient's panel reactive antibody (PRA) was detected by using ELISA test with Lambda antigen tray (LAT).Donor and recipient HLA classⅠtyping was performed with special monoclonal tray,and HLA classⅡgene typing with micro-sequence specific primers (Micro-SSP).Results There were 104 recipients with anti-HLA class-ⅠIgG antibody,76 with anti-HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody,and 44 with both anti-HLA class-1 and anti HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody respectively in 136 sensitized recipients.HLA class-ⅠIgG antibody positive rate was 11%-97 %,with an average of 49.6%?23.8%;The common public epitopes antibody was not found in each recipient of 13 cases with PRA＜20%,but was found in I2 recipients in 44 cases with PRA be- tween 20%-50%,and 39 recipients in 47 cases with PRA＞50%.HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody posi- tive rate was 17%-100%,with an average of 28.2%?63.8%.The number of cases of 0,1,2,3, 4 MM was 7 (5.1%),26 (19.1%),47 (34.6%),39 (28.7%) and 17 (12.5%) respectively by the standard of conventional HLA antigen matching;however the number of the recipients with 0,1, 2,3 MM was 31 (22.8%),53 (39.0%),36 (26.5%) and 16 (11.7%) respectively according to the rule of HLA CREGs matching and none with 4 MM.Rates of acute rejection in sensitized recipi- ents with 2MM and 3MM HLA-CREGs were 25.0% and 37.5% respectively and were significantly higher than those with 0MM (P＜0.05,＜0.05 respectively).Kidney year-survival was decreased when the number of MM of HLA CREGs matching increased.Conclusion The HLA CREGs matching can improve the ratio of well-matched significantly.Good HLA matching can reduce the incidence of acute rejection in sensitized recipients and increase the survival rate of grafts.

Objective To explore the relationship between organochlorine pesticides exposure after Tangshan earthquake and the breast cancer. Methods 1∶1 matched case-control study was conducted in 150 newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer with histopathological diagnosis from three city-level hospitals in Tangshan,China and 150 matched controls at the same hospitals,without the related diseases. The levels of derivatives of DDT and HCH in serum were measured by gas chromatography (GC) method and epidemiological survey were conducted by questionnaire for 150 pairs of cases and controls. The relationship between the organochlorine pesticides metabolites and the breast cancer of the exposed population was analyzed by conditional logistic regression model by SAS 8.2 Software. Results Compared with the control,significant higher rates of detection of p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDT were seen in the case group and the levels of p,p'-DDE,?-HCH and ?-HCH in serum were higher in the case group,and there was a significant difference in serum residues levels of ?-HCH,p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDT in different exposure areas in Tangshan,the high exposure area showed higher residues levels than the low exposure area. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed high pesticides exposure after the earthquake,the serum residues of p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDT were associated with breast cancer risk,ORs were 6.592(95%CI:1.402-31.002),2.405(95%CI:1.033-5.600)and 1.845(95%CI:1.028-3.353) respectively. Conclusion Exposure to environmental organochlorines may be one of the risk factors for breast cancer; Higher pesticides exposure after the earthquake may increases breast cancer risk in Tangshan area.

Objective To investigate the relation between the expression of toll receptor-4 (TLR-4) and the increase of blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the rats with acute pancreatitis.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 8 groups:control group;acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) 2 h,6 h groups;acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h groups with 8 rats in each group.The BBB permeability,pathological score of pancreas,TLR-4 expression were determined and the relationships between them were analyzed.Results The BBB permeability in control group;acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) 2 h,6 h groups;ANP 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h groups were 1.55±0.29,1.64±0.17,1.69±0.24,1.89±0.12,2.66±0.32,2.91±0.29,2.89±0.69 and 1.84±0.07,respectively;the pathological scores of pancreas were 0,2.38±0.92,3.13±0.64,8.50±1.07,9.75±0.71,10.25±1.28,11.13±1.25 and 10.13±1.13,respectively;there was no significant difference between AEP groups and control group,while there was significant difference between AEP groups and ANP groups (P＜0.05 orP ＜0.01).BBB permeability was correlated with pancreatic injury ( r = 0.626,P ＜0.01).There was no TLR-4 mRNA and protein expression in the control and AEP group,while they were significantly expressed in ANP groups,and the expression were positively related with BBB permeability ( r =0.208,P = 0.027 ).Conclusions BBB permeability was present in the course of ANP.Activation of TLR-4 signal pathway may be involved in the BBB permeability increase caused by ANP.

Aim To investigate the immunomodulative effect of hesperidin on immunodepressed mice.Methods The immunosuppressed mice were induced by cyclophosphamide (Cy, ip). Indexes of immune organs were calculated. Phagocytosis of mononuclear macrophage was determined by cleaning carbon particle method. Spectrophotography was used to estimate levels of serum specific IgG, IgM (HCIgM, HCIgG). Plaque forming cell (PFC) was determined with quantitative haemolysis of SRBC (QHS). Splenic lymphocytes proliferation was measured by MTT method. The mouse delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) model induced by dinitoflruorobenzene (DNFB) was used to study the effect of hesperidin on the level of DTH and subset of T lymphocyte. Results Hesperidin remarkably increased indexes of spleen and thymus, the rate of clearance and clearance index, but had no significant impact on HCIgM, HCIgG and PFC. In addition, it could enhance the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes and reverse DTH response to normal level. Conclusion Our results indicated that hesperidin had an enhanced effect on nonspecific immunity and specific cellular immunity in immunodepressed mice, while specific humoral immunity wasn′t significantly changed.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Ankang City from 2011 to 2021, so as to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of PTB prevention and control strategy. Methods Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of PTB in Ankang City from 2011 to 2021, and a time series model was established to quantitatively predict the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in 2023. Results The incidence rate in Ankang City showed a significant upward trend from 2011 to 2017, and a more obvious downward trend in 2017-2021 (P<0.05), and the decrease rate in 2021 was 40.36% compared with that in 2017. The proportion of etiological positivity increased from 12.5% in 2014 to over 50.00% after 2019. The incidence season was mainly concentrated in the first quarter, accounting for 28.39% of the annual incidence. High incidence areas were concentrated in the south of Ankang: Langao County, Ziyang County and Zhenping County, with 128.32/100 000, 117.07/100 000 and 110.44/100 000, respectively. Low incidence areas were located in the north of Ankang: Ningshan County, with 60.62/100 000. Farmers and students were the high incidence groups, accounting for 81.80% and 4.97% of the total cases respectively. The incidence of young children was relatively low, but cases were reported every year. The incidence rate of male was 2.39 times that of female. The age of onset increased significantly from 15 years old, and the peak incidence was in the age group of 60-<80 years old, followed by the age group of 45-<60 years old, the average annual incidence was 136.44/100 000 and 104.47/100 000, respectively. The model ARIMA(0,1,1)(0,1,1)12 predicted that the incidence of the disease generally increased from October 2022 to March 2023, then steadily decreased, and increased again in December. Conclusions The incidence of tuberculosis varies in different areas of Ankang City, and males, farmers, students and the elderly are all factors of high incidence of tuberculosis. Therefore, different prevention and control strategies should be adopted according to the characteristics of population in different areas. The number of cases in Ankang City in 2023 showed an overall downward trend, which can provide a reference for the prevention and control of PTB.

Objective:To report a case of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). Methods:Investigated one case's clinical data of McCune-Albright syndrome and reviewed related literatures. Analyzed the cause of disease,clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Results: The diagnostic criteria of MAS are the fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD), in addition to at least a kind of typical hypercrinemia, and (or) special café-au-lait skin spots. A definite diagnosis can be made by discovering the mutation of Gs α-gene in cyst fluid from the ovarian follicle and exceptional bone tissue by gene diagnosis. Conclusion:MAS is a rare disease in clinic and the most of domestic doctors don't know it yet, so it is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed diagnosis. There is no specific treatment for MAS. We must consider it when encounter these patients with sexual precocity as well as with café-au-lait skin spots, and it will be helpful to treat by earlier discovery.

To study the pharmacokinetics of ~(131)I-Metuximab injection (Licartin) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsLicartin (27.75 MBq/kg) and the mixture of anticancer drug and Lipiodol were sequentially administered with interval of 20 minutes to 15 patients with HCC via a transfemoral catheter.After the Licartin was administrated, the pharmacokinetic and biodistribution data were evaluated through venous blood samples,urine collections,and 4 γ-scintigraphies (SPECT) over 7 days. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from integration of the blood radioactivity-time curves using the SPSS 12.0 software. The tumor-no-tumor ratio (T/NT) was calculated by ROI. Absorbed doses in organ were estimated according to the medical internal radiation dose formalism. The biodistribution of licartin within patient's body at different time points was compared for various organs using analysis of variance for repeated measures, as well as the T/NT ratio. ResultsThe blood radioactivity-time curves followed the dynamics two-compartment model, with the major pharmacokinetic parameters including t_(1/2)α(1.96±1.65) h, and t_(1/2)α(19.07±5.91) h,and t_(1/2)β (57.09±10.92) h, and C_(max) 2.113×10~9min~(-1)·L~(-1), and AUC_(0-∞) 1.302×10~(11) h·min~(-1)·L~(-1), respectively. The accumulated urine radioactivity was 52.2% of administrated dosage during 144 h after administration. There were statistical significant difference of biodistribution of licartin and T/NT ratio between organs at different time points (F=6.583, P<0.01 and F=3.546, P<0.01). SPECT scans showed the significant accumulation of the radioconjugate in liver tumor and faint uptake in other organs for 14 days. Tumor-to-liver ratio decreased from 2.88±1.02 at 3 h to 1.64±0.40 at 168 h (n=7). Organ absorbed dose was (3.19±1.01) Gy in liver (n=12) and (0.55±0.09) Gy in red marrow (n=7). ConclusionLicartin combined with TACE for treatment of HCC is helpful to significantly accrete the radioconjugate in liver tumor, and protect normal organs from radiotoxictiy.
