BACKGROUND:The immunological rejection between host and graft is the leading cause of organ
transplantation failure. The traditional immunosuppressive agents have been unable to meet the needs of clinical treatment. Antibody-drug conjugate, as a type of new drugs, may be hope for the treatment of immune rejection. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the composition of antibody-drug conjugates, mechanism of action, clinical research progress as wel as the development trend.
METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval was performed to search papers in CNKI and PubMed database using the key words of ADCs, immunosuppressive agents, immunotoxins, organ transplantation, graft rejection in Chinese and English. Recently published or published in the prestigious journals were selected in the same field. After excluding objective-independent papers and repeated studies, 42 papers were included for further analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Antibody-drug conjugates, as highly effective and lowly toxic immunosuppressant, have achieved a breakthrough in treatment of targeting tumor, while the role of it in anti-immune rejection is stil at the exploratory stage. For islet transplantation, novel antibody-drug conjugates are required to block CD8+T effector by CD103/E-Cadherin pathway, and wil probably serve as a potential drug intervention for al ograft rejection.

OBJECTIVETo retrospectively analysis the curative effect of wrist scaphoid bone fracture,and explore the causes and preventive methods of misdiagnosis.
METHODSFrom September 2007 to September 2010,16 patients with wrist scaphoid bone fractures were treated with plaster cast and cannulated screws fixation. There were 10 males and 6 females,ranging in age from 26 to 44 years with an average of 35 years. Among them, 12 cases manifested swelling pain of radial lateral wrist, tenderness at snuffbox area, wrist pain aggravated when stretching wrist joint, thumb or forefinger; 4 cases manifested no obviously symptoms and limited movement; 9 cases were early diagnosed; 5 cases were treated by plaster cast; 4 cases were treated with cannulated screws fixation; Among 7 cases with misdiagnosis, there were 4 cases without obvious symptoms and they were dealt with activating blood to dissipate swelling and pain process in preliminary stage. Four cases were treated with plaster cast and 3 cases with cannulated screws fixation.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up from 3 months to 39 months (averaged 21 months). Among 16 patients, 9 cases were early diagnosis, 7 cases were misdiagnosis and the rate of misdiagnosis was 43.8%. Seven cases with screws fixation were no wound infection. There was 1 case with occurred chronic pain and declining wrist mobility in both plaster cast and screw group, and both of them were misdiagnosed. According to curative effect rating criteria,these 2 cases were classified into moderate, other 14 cases were excellent.
CONCLUSIONWrist scaphoid bone fracture are easy to misdiagnose, so early diagnosis and treatment is particularly important. The main causes of misdiagnosis are nonspecific symptoms at early stage, combination with other injuries, lack of knowledge and ignorance of the further examination. Therefore, detailed inquiries and particular examination, multi-dimensional radiography and CT scan or MRI scan are the main measures for prevention.
