OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of yizhi jiannao granule concentration fluid (YCF) on the expression of peptidyl-prolyl-cis-trans isomerase A (Pin1) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) mRNA in the hippocampus of senescence accelerated mice Senile-Prone8(SAMP8). METHODS: Six-month old SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into a YCF group and a model group. Six-month old SAMP8 mice were served as a normal control group. The YCF group was ravaged, while the model group and the normal control group were gavaged with double-distilled water for 8 weeks. The hippocampus was taken out for examination. The expression of Pin1 and HMGB1 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. RESULTS: In the YCF group, the level of Pin1 mRNA increased, and the level of HMGB1 mRNA decreased compared with that of the model group. CONCLUSION Yizhi jiannao granules can prevent Alzheimer's disease by increasing the Pin1 level and decreasing the HMGB1 level.

Objective To observe the early clinical effect of single kidney transplantation from cardiac death pediatric donors to adult recipients. Methods Clinical data of 6 single kidney transplantations from cardiac death pediatric donors in adult recipients in Department of Organ Transplantation ,Guangdong Province No.2 People′s hospital were retrospectively analyzed. the transplant operations were carried out between January 2010 to may 2016.The median age of 6 pediatric donors was 9 years (5 years to 15 years). All recipients had the same blood type. The median age of 12 recipients was 38 years (21 years to 65 years),with 4 man and 8 women. All recipients received kidney transplantation for the first time,and overall reactive antibodies(PRA) were negative,with HLA mismatch between 1to 4. All recipients received single kidney transplantation in right fossa iliaca. Results 12 kidney transplantations were successful. The renal allografts recovered successfully without acute renal rejection , delayed graft function or primary nonfunction. Renal function of 5 of recipients immediately recovered in 5 days,5 recovered in 10 days,and 2 recovered slowly. 1 recipient manifested urine leak and recovered after drainage. 1 case developed delayed incision healing and recovered after dressing at stage II. All patients and renal grafts functions were wellnormal during follow?up period between 1 month to 36 months. Conclusion The early clinical effect of single kidney transplantation from cardiac death pediatric donors to adult recipients is good and could be a promising pathway to expand the organ donor sources.
