Objective To summarize the short-term results of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) at a single center in China.Methods SPK was performed on 12 consecutive patients from Jan.2010 to July 2014.All patients had long-standing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and subsequent renal failure.Bladder drainage (BD) of exocrine secretion was used in the 10 cases and enteric drainage (ED) in 2 patients.The patients were treated with quadruple therapy,which included ATG or anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody induction therapy,prednisone,tacrolimus and mycophenolat-mofetil (MMF).Results The SPK was performed successfully in 10 cases.One patient accepted re-pancreas transplantation due to necrotizing pancreatitis.One patient suffered hemorrhage of bladder,accepted 3 times of embolization therapy and died due to lung infection.Ten patients achieved excellent renal function and euglycemia,and no further insulin treatment was given in 9.5 ± 4.2 days posttransplant.Fasting plasma glucose returned to normal in 14.2 ± 5.1 days.Serum creatinine returned to normal in 10.4 ± 6.5 days.The mean hospital stay was 21.4 ± 7.3 days.One biopsy-proven renal rejection episodes occurred in 14 days postoperation.Main complications included wound infections on the side of pancreatic graft,lymphorrhagia,tacrolimus toxicity and urinary tract infection.Conclusion SPK is an effective therapy of ESRD.Donated graft protection system foundation,refinement and individualized treatment posttransplantion may be the key factors for successful SPK.

BACKGROUND:Delayed graft function (DGF) occurs frequently in kidney transplants from donation after cardiac death if creatinine level is high in kidney recipients. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical effects of renal transplantation with kidneys from donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning. METHODS:Data were col ected from kidney transplants from two donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning. After some donor maintenance, donor organ were obtained and perfused with impulse type machine. Recipients were treated with intervention of immunity induction, anti-rejection drugs and infection prevention drugs during and after renal transplantation. Pathological data of donor kidney zero needle biopsy, DGF after kidney transplantation, complication rate (such as acute rejection), renal al ograft recovery situation, the survival rate of recipients and kidney transplants were col ected and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Needle biopsy results from four donor kidneys showed that glomerular morphology was normal, but there were edema and degeneration in kidney tubules in some degree. Donor DGF rate was 75%(3/4), acute rejection rate was 0%(0/4), perioperative period donor kidney and recipient survival rate were 100%(4/4). Al recipients showed a good result of transplanted kidney, their creatinine and urea nitrogen were at low level, and had no proteinuria. One recipient died of severe pulmonary infection 4 months after surgery. For some organophosphate poisoning donors dying of cardiac death, donor kidney quality can be improved by suitable donor maintenance and high-quality donor kidney preservation using machine perfusion. Kidney transplants from donors dying of cardiac death in organophosphate poisoning who receive the maintenance of organ function may be a promising candidate for renal transplantation due to a severe lack of kidney donor sources.

Objective By analyzing the perioperative management in our hospital to explore the clinical effect and safety of single kidney transplantation from deceased juveniles' donors.Methods We retrospectively analyze 86 cases of kidney transplantations from deceased juveniles' donors in our hospital from 2007 December to 2015 August.Results The success rate of the operations was 100％.The postoperative complications occurred as fellows:7 cases of acute rejection (8.14％);10 cases of drug intoxication (11.62％);21 cases of DGF (24.44％),4 cases of leakage of urine (4.65％),7 cases of lung infection (8.14％).Two cases (2.32％) died after the operation because of serious lung infection,and by corresponding treatment 47 cases recovered after 2-4 weeks.The creatinine level in 37 cases without any complications was 131.88 ± 44.20 μmol/L during discharge.Conclusion With strict selection,the organ from a deceased juvenile donor is safe and practicable.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous infusion of low-dose intravenous (Ⅳ) heparin during perioperative period of simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation for donation after citizen death (DCD) donor to prevent pancreatic thrombosis post-transplantation.Methods:From January 2015 to August 2019, 46 DCD donors undergoing SPK were divided into retrospective cohort groups 1 ( n=27) and 2 ( n=19). Group 1 received aspirin enteric-coated tablets only at Day 1 post-SPK. In Group 2, 5-7 days of continuous infusion of heparin 260 IU per hour at Day 1 post-SPK was followed by a daily intake of aspirin enteric-coated tablets of 100 mg. Incidence of thrombus, recovery of graft function and adverse reactions of anticoagulant therapy were observed. Results:Thrombosis occurred in (5.3%, 1/19 vs 14.8%, 4/27) in heparin and non-heparin groups. Thrombosis and graft loss were significantly lower in heparin group than those in non-heparin group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Continuous infusion of low-dose heparin vein is effective and safe in preventing thrombosis after SPK transplantation.
