Objective To investigate the changes of immune state and the impact on immunological rejection elicited by abdominal cavity bacterial infection after DA-Lewis rat liver transplantation.Methods Orthotopic liver transplant model was established by modified Kamada two-cuff technique.The animals were divided randomly into Group 1,isotonic Na chloride injected into abdominal cavity 3 days after operation;Group 2,mixed Bacillus coli liquid injected instead of saline;Group 3,immunosuppressive drug CsA administered routinely after operation(3 mg?kg-1?d-1).All the animals were sacrificed 7 days after infection.The blood and graft samples were collected for cell-subpopulation,mixed lymphocyte culture,IL-4,IFN-? mRNA detection and histological evaluation.Results Seven days after infection,the lympholeukocyte population,CD4/CD8(G1=1.753?0.181,G2=1.384?0.073,G3=0.997?0.025)and lympholeukocyte function(SI:G1=67.59?3.40,G2=37.14?0.90,G3=15.87?0.51)declined in Group 2 as compared with other groups and cellular differentiation drifted to Th2.There was significant difference between Group 2 and Group 1 or 3.Conclusion Abdominal cavity bacterial infection after rat liver transplantation will promote the differentiation of T cells into Th2,down-regulate CD4/CD8 ratio and immune function of lymphocytes and accordingly alleviate partly the acute rejection following liver transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the value of plasma soluble urokinase?type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR)and D?dimer for assessing disease severity and prognosis in patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI). Methods A serial of 112 patients with traumatic brain injury admired to our hospital were divided into mild TBI (GCS score 13~15),moderate TBI(GCS score 9~12)and severe TBI(GCS score 3~8). The levels of plasma suPAR and D?dimer were monitored within 24 h after patient admission. Results The levels of suPAR and D?di?mer in TBI group were obviously higher than those in the control group(15.86±7.33 vs 2.79 ± 0.69,P<0.01;3.50 ± 2.78 vs 24 ± 0.15,P<0.01). The levels of suPAR and D?dimer in the severe TBI group were also obviously high?er than those in the moderate TBI group(P<0.05). Plasma suPAR levels and GCS score had significant negative correlation(r =- 0.854,P < 0.01). D?dimer levels and GCS score showed a negative correlation(r =- 0.738, P < 0.01). Plasma suPAR and D ? dimer was positively correlated(r = 0.753,P < 0.01). The area under the curve of D?dimer(AUC)was larger,0.854,95%CI 0.763~0.945;the AUC of suPAR was 0.801,95%CI 0.698~0.903. Conclusion Higher levels of suPAR and D?dimer in TBI patients is not only relevant to the injury sever?ity ,but also closely to the prognosis.
