Objectives The relationship between homocysteine ( Hcy ) and lipid levels in renal transplant patients was analyzed to investigate the effect of hyperlipidemia on renal function and the importance of lipid monitoring in renal function after renal transplantation.Methods 492 patients outpatient follow-up of renal transplants from November 2014 to April 2015 in the Department of Urology and 221 healthy subjects from Shanghai First People′s Hospital were enrolled and their serum Hcy, Total cholesterol( TC) ,triglycerides( TG) , High density lipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C) , Low density lipoprotein cholesterol( LDL-C ) were tested.All the subjects were divided into normal group and abnormal group according to the serum Hcy levels.At the same time serum cysteine protease inhibitor C(CysC) level was tested to estimate glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),grouping according to the principle of Chronic Kidney Disease( CKD)《Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative》( KDOQI) staging criteria.The co-relationship between serum TC, HDL-C, TG, LDL-C levels and the possibilities of high cardiovascular risk factors, and the relationship between of serum Hcy and lipid levers, kidney function were analyzed based on the standard of“2007 China Adult dyslipidemia prevention and treatment guidelines”.Statistical methods using U test、chi square analysis, correlation and multiple regression analysis.Results The serum TC(4.48 -5.85),TG (1.05-1.91),HDL-C(1.33-2.01),LDL-C(2.53-3.72) and Hcy(11.99-20.23) levels in the renal transplantation group were higher than the control group′s TC ( 4.02-5.33 ) , TG ( 0.81-1.74 ) , HDL-C (1.11-1.58),LDL-C(2.21-3.32), Hcy(8.9-12.4) levels.(P=0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,P<0.01) In the renal transplantation group,serum Hcy levels was negatively correlated with eGFR and HDL-C levels (r=-0.565, -0.197, P<0.01), and was positively correlated with TG levels.(r=0.107, P<0.05) In renal transplantation group ,the serum levels of HDL-C was significant lower in Hcy-abnormal group(1.15-1.77)than the normal group(1.35 -1.97) (P=0.001,P<0.01),while the serum levels of LDL-C (2.51-3.93) was higher than the normal group(2.44 -3.69) (P=0.023,P<0.05).In the renal transplantation group,the count ratio of lipid risk factors in the Hcy-abnormal group (0 item 55.4%,1 item 23.5%,2 items 14.2%,3 items 6.5%,4 items 0.4%)was higher than normal group(0 item 69.8%,1 item 17.2%,2 items 9.1%,3 items 3.9%,4 items 0.0%) ( P=0.019,P<0.05).Ranked serum Hcy levels with cardiovascular risk factors, high-risk factors count ratio of eGFR 45-60 ml/min/1.73 m2 group was significant higher than eGFR 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m2 group in each level(P=0.018,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis was carried out on the risk factors of serum TG, LDL-C, Hcy levels respectively, the results show that serum TG,LDL-C,Hcy levels and differences in renal function have statistical significance (P=0.00,0.00,0.00,P<0.01).Conclusions The serum TG,LDL-C and Hcy levels in the renal transplantation group were consistent increase and associated with kidney injury.The differences in TG, LDL-C, Hcy levels of renal transplant patients may cause differences in renal function after transplantation.Monitoring of serum lipids and Hcy levels is helpful for forecast the possibility of kidney injury.

Objective To investigate the significance of testing serum homocysteine for renal transplant patients .Methods 445 renal transplant patients from outpatient follow‐up(renal transplant group) and 100 healthy subjects(control group) were enrolled in the study ,whose serum homocysteine(Hcy) ,Cystatin C(CysC) ,creatinine(Cr) were tested .Then according to the eGFR(refered to the principle of NKF‐K/DOQI) patients of renal transplant group were divided into six subgroups .Serum levels of Hcy and Cr were compared among different groups ,and the relationship between serum Hcy concentration and anti‐rejection drugs were ana‐lyzed .Results In the transplant group ,concentrations of Hcy were obviously higher than that in control group(P<0 .05) .There was no significant difference in Hcy concentrations among renal transplants who had taken different anti‐rejection drugs(P>0 .05) . Concentrations of CysC and Cr were significantly associated with Hcy in renal transplant group(r=0 .481 ,0 .456 ,P<0 .05) .There was significant difference between eGFR≥90 subgroup and control group in CysC concentration(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Concen‐tration of Hcy in renal transplant group was obviously higher than that in control group .With the eGFR decreased ,Hcy increased gradually ,and in transplant group was associated with the concentration of CysC and Cr .There was significant difference between eGFR≥90 subgroup and control group in Hcy and CysC concentrations(P<0 .05) .The different anti‐rejection drugs had no effect on serum Hcy levels .

Objective:This study aimed to identify the morphology of mast cells by using a modified toluidine blue staining scheme,so as to provide a powerful reference for the experimental basis research of mast cells.Methods:Bone marrow-derived mast cells were induced in vitro.After 4 weeks,the cells were collected,fixed,and stained.Mast cells were fixed at different temperature during different time.The optimum condition was determined by comparing the effects of toluidine blue staining.Results:Bone marrow cells were induced to differentiate into mast cells by SCF and IL-3 in vitro.When mast cells were stained with modified toluidine blue staining,the staining effect was better.Mast cells were round or oval and the cell membrane was complete and the cytoplasm was filled with a large number of purple particles.Conclusion:In this study,we successfully applied a modified toluidine blue staining method to mast cells cultured in vitro.The results showed that the condition at 37 ℃ full fixation with staining could reduce the degeneration of mast cells.This method was easy to operate with good stability.It was suitable for the morphological observation of mast cells cultured in vitro.

Objective To observe the effect of ulinastatin on the expression of interleukin 15 (IL-15), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMCs) induced by high glucose. Methods RPMCs were isolated, cultured and passaged by trypsin, then identified. The third generation of cultured RPMCs were used in the experiment. RPMCs were divided into normal control group, high glucose (1.5%, 2.5%, 4.25%) for 6 hours and 12 hours, high glucose (2.5%) for 3, 6, 12, 24 hours or ulinastatin (160, 320, 640U/ml) for 12 hours. IL-15 mRNA was detected by real-time PCR. IL-15 and CTGF protein in supernatants was detected by ELISA. MDA protein was detected by TBAS. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of IL-15, CTGF and MDA was significantly increased in the groups stimulated by high glucose (P＜0.05) in dose- and time-dependent manner. Ulinastatin could significantly decrease the expression of IL-15, CTGF and MDA induced by high glucose in dosedependent manner both in protein and gene levels (P＜0.05). Conclusions High glucose can up-regulate the expression of IL-15, CTGF and MDA in RPMCs. Ulinastatin can reverse these changes.

Objective To explore the cytotoxicity of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induced by SW480 sonicate sensitized dendritic cells (DC) on the colon cancer cell line SW480. Methods PBMC were separated from the HLA-A*0201 donor and DC were cultured with rhGM-CSF, rhIL-4 and rhTNF-α. The same donor's primary CTL were stimulated by DC loaded with SW480 sonicate. The cytotoxicity of CTL on SW480 (HLA-A*0201 positive) and K562 (HLA-A*0201 negative) was determined by the MTT method. Results The cytotoxicity of the CTL on SW480 was stronger than that on K562 (P ＜0.05). Conclusion The DC vaccine can stimulate specific CTL which can trigger cytotoxic activity on the target cells and this cytotoxicity is related to MHC restriction.
