Objective To observe the short?term clinical outcomes of kidney transplantation from brain and cardiac death donors (DBCD) and assess its feasibility to expand organ donor pool. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 48 cases of kidney transplantation from DBCD. The transplant recipients had finished 12?month follow?up in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from September 2011 to February 2015, with their renal function, rejection reaction and complications at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after renal transplantation being collected. Survival rates of transplant recipients and transplant kidneys, incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) and its influence for recipients and graft survival were analyzed by statistics. Results In the 48 cases, the survival rates of recipients at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after transplantation were 100.0%, 100.0%, 97.9%, 95.8%, and the survival rates of transplanted kidneys were 95.8%, 95.8%, 93.8%, 91.7%, respectively. DGF occurred in 8 of 48 (17.0%), but the occurrence of DGF did not adversely influence patient's survival (P=0.524) or graft survival (P=0.362). Conclusions The short?term clinical outcomes of kidney transplantation from DBCD are ideal. As the legislation of donation after brain death (DBD) has not been ratified in China, the kidney transplantation from DBCD could be an
important way to solve the shortage of organs, and increase the number of kidneys available for transplantation.

ObjectivesTo identify the related abnormalities of gray matter in pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) by using the optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM).Methods Three dimensional T1WI was acquired in 31 TS children (28 boys,3 girts,mean age 8 years,range 4-15 years) and 50 age- and sex-matched controls on a 1.5 Tesla Philips scanner. Images were pre-processed and analyzed using a version of VBM 2 in SPM 2.The whole brain gray matter volume was compared between the study and control group by using t-test.Multivariate linear regression analysis was used for analyzing the correlation between the change of grey matter volume within each brain region (mm3 ) and YGTSS score and course of disease of TS patients.Statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS 13.0.ResultsUsing VBM,significant increases in gray matter volumes in left superior parietal lobule, right cerebellar hemisphere and left parahippocampal gyrus were detected in TS patients,and the volume changes were 4059,2126 and 84 mm3 ( t =3.93,3.71,3.58,P < 0.05 ) respectively.Compared to the control group,decreased grey matter volumes were found in medulla and left pons,and the volume changes were 213 and 117 mm3( t =3.53,3.48,P < 0.05 )respectively.Tic severity was not correlated with any volume changes of gray matter in brain (P > 0.05,a small volume correction,KE ≥ 10 voxel).Tic course was negatively correlated with the gray matter volume of left parahippocampal gyrus ( Beta =- 0.391,P =0.039 ).ConclusionsUsing VBM technique,the gray matter abnormalities can be revealed in TS patients without obvious lesions on conventional MR imaging.The increasing volume of temporal and parietal lobes and cerebellar may be an adaptive anatomical change in response to experiential demand. The gray matter volume of the parahippocampal gyrus may be used as one potential objective index for evaluating the prognosis of TS.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR angiography in thrombolytic therapy of acute ischemic stroke. Methods According to inclusion criteria, 65 patients who also having large vessel occlusion were selected, and they were performed rt-PA treatment (38 patients) and routine treatment (27 patients) within 3-6 hours of onset of symptoms, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test and chi square test were performed to compare the clinical and MR imaging baseline index and the clinical outcome between the two groups respectively. Clinical outcome was assessed after 3 months using a dichotomized modified Rankin scale score.Data were also compared with the combined analysis of the ATLANTIS, ECASS, NINDS rt-PA trials. Resets The difference of clinical outcome in 3 months between the two groups was significant (P < 0. 05) and the median of the two group was 1 and 3, respectively. The ratio of favorable outcome (mRS 0-1) in the two groups was 52. 6% (20/38) and 33.3% (9/27), respectively. Conclusion MR angiography plays an important role in thrombolytic therapy of acute ischemic stroke and it should be used to consummate the conventional inclusion criteria, the patients with large vessel occlusion should be treated by rt-PA.

Pathogen detection is very important to improve the prognosis of patients with peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis. The paper reported a case of peritonitis caused by Ureaplasma parvum diagnosed by metagenomics next-generation sequencing(mNGS)technology. The patient was a middle-aged woman and hospitalized due to abdominal pain and muddy effluent. Anti-infective treatments such as ceftazidime and vancomycin were given but the effect was poor. The result of traditional culture was negative. Ureaplasma parvum was detected by mNGS. After using doxycycline,the patient's inflammation was controlled. It is suggested that mNGS plays an important role in the detection of the pathogens in peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis patients with negative culture. Through this case report and literature review,clinical experience is provided for the diagnosis and treatment in such patients.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of post-dialysis hypertension in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional and retrospective study. The patients receiving hemodialysis from January 9, 2017 to January 14, 2017 in 5 hemodialysis centers of Beijing area were selected. Post-dialysis hypertension was defined as an event characterized by an average increase of more than 15 mmHg in post-dialysis mean artery pressure (MAP) compared to intradialytic 3 h MAP during 3 consecutive hemodialysis sessions. Post-dialysis stable blood pressure was defined as an event characterized by an increase of less than 15 mmHg or a decrease of less than 10 mmHg in post-dialysis MAP compared to intradialytic 3 h MAP, with the exception of patients with post-dialysis hypertension and post-dialysis hypotension. The patients were divided into hypertension group and stable blood pressure group based on whether they had post-dialysis hypertension, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. The influencing factors of post-dialysis hypertension were analyzed by multivariate unconditional logistic regression.Results:A total of 491 MHD patients were enrolled in this study, including 65 patients (13.2%) in the hypertension group, 406 patients (82.7%) in the stable blood pressure group and 20 patients (4.1%) in the hypotension group. The age, blood calcium before dialysis and the proportion of patients using 1.75 mmol/L Ca 2+ dialysate in the hypertension group were higher than those of the stable blood pressure group, and pre-dialysis serum intact parathyroid hormone and pre-dialysis serum uric acid in the post hypertension group were lower than those of the stable blood pressure group (all P<0.05). The age, pre-dialysis serum intact parathyroid hormone, pre-dialysis serum calcium, pre-dialysis serum uric acid, dialysate Ca 2+ concentration of statistical differences between hypertension group and stable blood pressure group ( P<0.05), and post-dialysis serum calcium, pre-dialysis total serum cholesterol, application of β receptor blocker, gender of univariate analysis ( P<0.1) were included into the logistic regression equation as covariates. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that using 1.75 mmol/L Ca 2+ dialysate was the independent influencing factor of post-dialysis hypertension (with using 1.50 mmol/L Ca 2+ dialysate as reference, OR=2.930, 95% CI 1.282-6.694, P=0.011). The age and pre-dialysis serum calcium of statistical differences between hypertension group and stable blood pressure group ( P<0.05), and pre-dialysis serum sodium and pre-dialysis serum uric acid of univariate analysis ( P<0.1) were included into the logistic regression equation as covariates. The older age ( OR=1.046, 95% CI 1.000-1.093, P=0.049) and higher pre-dialysis serum calcium ( OR=21.847, 95% CI 2.111-226.075, P=0.010) were the independent influencing factors of post-dialysis hypertension when the 1.50 mmol/L Ca 2+ dialysate was used. Conclusions:The independent influencing factor of post-dialysis hypertension is using 1.75 mmol/L Ca 2+ dialysate, while the independent influencing factors of post-dialysis hypertension are the older age and the higher pre-dialysis serum calcium level when the dialysate Ca 2+ concentration was 1.50 mmol/L.

Objective:To determine whether the early stage platelet count can predict the outcome of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted by selecting PDAP patients who were hospitalized in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from January 2012 to January 2019. According to the final treatment outcome, the patients were divided into cured group and withdrawn group. The withdrawn group included patients who transferred to hemodialysis or died. Basic data on demography, blood routine examination, peritoneal fluid, biochemical indicators were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the withdrawn risk factors of PDAP.Results:There were 180 patients included in the study, including 112 cases in the cured group and 68 cases in the withdrawn group. Compared with the cured group, there were older age [(53.38±14.17) years old vs (48.41±13.04) years old, t=2.407, P=0.017], longer age of dialysis [(49.20±26.05) months vs (30.36±32.97) months, t=4.034, P<0.001], longer hospital stay [(23.88±11.50) d vs (17.80±3.95) d, t=5.133, P<0.001] and higher platelet count [(285.55±107.23)×10 9/L vs (234.90±74.03)×10 9/L, t=3.450, P=0.001], lower serum albumin [(31.72±7.47) g/L vs (35.40±4.93) g/L, t=-3.972, P<0.001] in the withdrawn group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that longer dialysis age ( OR=1.012, 95% CI 1.007-1.024, P=0.015) and higher platelet count ( OR=1.013, 95% CI 1.004-1.026, P=0.008) were independent risk factors, and higher serum albumin ( OR=0.941, 95% CI 0.896-0.988, P=0.005) was an independent protective factor of withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis in PDAP patients. Conclusions:The long dialysis age, early high platelet count are independent risk factors and high serum albumin level is an independent protective factor for withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis in PDAP patients.
