Objective To investigate the occurrence,types and therapeutic effect of malignancies in renal allograft recipients. Methods A retrospective study of 1200 renal allograft transplantations in 1189 patients performed between July 1977 and September 2001 was carried out. Results After transplantation among the 1189 recipients,19 cases (an incidence rate of 1.6%) were diagnosed with malignancies,including hepatocarcinoma in 4 cases,breast cancer in 3,Kaposi sarcoma in 2,lung cancer in 2,and squamous carcinoma of bladder,non-Hodgkin lymphoma,stomach carcinoma,carcinoma of head of pancreas,carcinoma of gingival,colon carcinoma,gallbladder carcinoma each in 1,and 1 intensive metastasis case without concerned source.The mean postoperative duration of immunosuppressive treatment before the diagnosis of malignancies was (36.7?24.2)months (range,2 to 112 months).Surgical operations were performed in 12 cases,all of whom survived with normal renal function.A mean follow-up of 15.4 months (range,1 to 73 months) showed that no recurrent malignancy developed and no rejection of transplanted kidneys occurred.Five of the 7 cases who had malignancies at advanced stage and lost surgical treatment opportunity died within 1 year after the diagnosis. Conclusions The incidence of malignancy in renal allograft recipients is much higher than normal population,closely related to the long term use of immunosuppressants.Radical surgery of the malignancies is preferred option and use of immunosuppressants can be reduced or discontinued;meanwhile the function of the transplanted kidney should be maintained as much as possible.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the early mortality and related risk factors in adult patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:Adult MHD patients from 2008 to 2018 were enrolled and divided into training data group and validation data group. In training data group, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of early death within 120 days after hemodialysis and establish a prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the prediction ability of the model.Results:A total of 4 885 patients were included. The cumulative mortality within 120 days was 20.97/100 person years, and that within 365 days was 12.25/100 person years. A total of 3 603 patients in the training data group were analyzed. The following risk factors were correlated with early mortality (all P<0.05), including age at start of dialysis over 60 years old ( OR=1.792), non-chronic glomerulonephritis ( OR=2.214), cardio-cerebrovascular disease ( OR=2.695), plasma albumin less than 35 g/L ( OR=1.358), platelet count less than 120×10 9/L ( OR=2.194), serum creatinine less than 600 μmol/L ( OR=1.652), blood urea nitrogen over 30 mmol/L ( OR=1.887), blood phosphorus less than 1.13 mmol/L ( OR=1.783), pulse pressure over 55 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) ( OR=1.656), low density lipoprotein less than 1.5 mmol/L ( OR=1.873), and blood calcium over 2.5 mmol/L ( OR=1.876). Risk prediction model was established. The other 1 282 cases in the validation data group were verified. The area under ROC curve was 0.810, with sensitivity 85.7%, and specificity 62.5%. Conclusion:The mortality rate of adult MHD patients within 120 days after dialysis is high. The established prediction model can effectively predict the risk of early death.

Objective:To explore the relationship between end-dialysis over-weight (edOW) in initial stage of hemodialysis and long-term prognosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:The data of initial uremia patients receiving hemodialysis in the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The end point of follow-up was death or until April 30, 2018. The general data including age, gender, body mass index, primary disease, complications and laboratory indicators of the patients and the related parameters of dialysis from four to twelve months were collected. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival rate. Cox multivariate regression was used to analyze the relationship between edOW and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.Results:A total of 469 patients (300 males, 64.0%) were enrolled, with age of (56.9±17.1)years old. During the follow-up period of (4.1±2.4) years (1.0-10.3 years), 102 patients died. The main cause of death was cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, accounting for 44.1% (45/102). The value of edOW was (0.28±0.02) kg. The patients were divided into edOW<0.28 kg group ( n=292) and edOW≥0.28 kg group ( n=177) according to the mean value of edOW. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the long-term survival rate in edOW<0.28 kg group was higher than that in edOW≥0.28 kg group (Log-rank χ2=4.134, P=0.043), and the CVD mortality in edOW≥0.28 kg group was significantly higher than that in edOW<0.28 kg group (Log-rank χ2=11.136, P=0.001). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that high edOW was an independent influencing factor for all-cause death and CVD death in hemodialysis patients ( HR=1.541, 95% CI 1.057-2.249, P=0.025; HR=1.930, 95% CI 1.198-3.107, P=0.007). Conclusion:High edOW in early phase is an independent influencing factor of all-cause and CVD death in hemodialysis patients.

Four genotypic mice were constructed, by ovary transplantation, with body leptin receptor (LR) + and ovary LR - in Group A, body LR + and ovary LR + in Group B, body LR - and ovary LR + in Group C, as well as body LR - and ovary LR - in Group D respectively. Mice in C and D groups showed significant differences in glucose and fat metabolism as well as ovarian function as compared with A and B groups. Leptin signal transducting system exists in the ovary. Ovarian failure was induced by hyperlipidemia and lowered gonadotropin levels, but not by defective leptin signal within ovaries in the db/db mice.

Objective To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of compound sulfamethoxazole (SMZco)combined with ganciclovir on severe pulmonary infection in the early stage of renal transplantation. Methods Between January 2005 and January 2006,two hundred and forty renal allograft patients in our hospital were enrolled in this study.All the patients were divided into two groups.Group A(n=84)received oral SMZco combined with intravenous ganciclovir.Group B(n=156)received intravenous ganciclovir only as control.According to the time of SMZco administration,group A was divided into two subgroups:group A1(within 2weeks after transplantation,n=43)and group A2(more than 2 weeks after transplantation,n=41).All the patients were followed up for 9 months.Incidence of pulmonary infection and effects on graft function by SMZco at different time point were investigated. Results The incidence of severe pulmonary infection and mortality of infection were significantly lower in group A than those in group B (2/84 vs 16/156,P=0.027;0/2 vs 2/16,P<0.01).There were no significant differences between two groups in terms of age,gender,warm or cold ischemia,complement dependent cytotoxieity test results,incidence of urinary infection and Scr.The incidence of elevatedScr was significantly lower in group A2 than that in group A1(15/43 vs 2/41,P<0.01),however,all the elevated Scr returned to basal level within 1 week after SMZco was discontinued.Conclusions Oral SMZco combined with ganciclovir administration after renal transplantation is effective on preventing severe pulmonary infection and thus improves graft and recipient survival.The administration of oral SMZco initiated more than 2 weeks after transplantation is better for graft function.

Objective To analyze the relationship of clinicopathologic Features and prognosis of triple negative breast cancer. Methods A total of 196 cases with operable breast cancer received in our hospital between January 2002 and February 2007 were analyzed. We used immunohistochemistry to determine Her2, ER, and PR status. The patients were divided into the triple negative breast cancer group (ER negative,PR negative, and Her-2 negative)and the non-triple negative breast cancer group. The clinicopathologic features of the two groups were compared. The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed. Results Of the 196 patients, 13.27% (26/196) had triple negative breast cancer. The percentage of cases with tumor exceeded 5 cm or grade Ⅲ was higher in the triple negative group than in the non-triple negative group (P < 0.05 ). No significant difference was found in other clinicopathologic features between the two groups.The 3-year DFS was 84.62% (22/26) in the triple negative group and 92.94% ( 158/170)in the non-triple negative group. Conclusion Compared with non triple negative breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer has an increased possibility of local recurrence or distant metastasis,leading to a poorer prognosis.
