Objective To evaluate the clinical application of HLA matching in highly sensitized recipients of renal allografts.Methods Recipient's panel reactive antibody (PRA) was detected by using ELISA test with Lambda antigen tray (LAT).Donor and recipient HLA classⅠtyping was performed with special monoclonal tray,and HLA classⅡgene typing with micro-sequence specific primers (Micro-SSP).Results There were 104 recipients with anti-HLA class-ⅠIgG antibody,76 with anti-HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody,and 44 with both anti-HLA class-1 and anti HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody respectively in 136 sensitized recipients.HLA class-ⅠIgG antibody positive rate was 11%-97 %,with an average of 49.6%?23.8%;The common public epitopes antibody was not found in each recipient of 13 cases with PRA＜20%,but was found in I2 recipients in 44 cases with PRA be- tween 20%-50%,and 39 recipients in 47 cases with PRA＞50%.HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody posi- tive rate was 17%-100%,with an average of 28.2%?63.8%.The number of cases of 0,1,2,3, 4 MM was 7 (5.1%),26 (19.1%),47 (34.6%),39 (28.7%) and 17 (12.5%) respectively by the standard of conventional HLA antigen matching;however the number of the recipients with 0,1, 2,3 MM was 31 (22.8%),53 (39.0%),36 (26.5%) and 16 (11.7%) respectively according to the rule of HLA CREGs matching and none with 4 MM.Rates of acute rejection in sensitized recipi- ents with 2MM and 3MM HLA-CREGs were 25.0% and 37.5% respectively and were significantly higher than those with 0MM (P＜0.05,＜0.05 respectively).Kidney year-survival was decreased when the number of MM of HLA CREGs matching increased.Conclusion The HLA CREGs matching can improve the ratio of well-matched significantly.Good HLA matching can reduce the incidence of acute rejection in sensitized recipients and increase the survival rate of grafts.

Objective To explore the relationship between organochlorine pesticides exposure after Tangshan earthquake and the breast cancer. Methods 1∶1 matched case-control study was conducted in 150 newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer with histopathological diagnosis from three city-level hospitals in Tangshan,China and 150 matched controls at the same hospitals,without the related diseases. The levels of derivatives of DDT and HCH in serum were measured by gas chromatography (GC) method and epidemiological survey were conducted by questionnaire for 150 pairs of cases and controls. The relationship between the organochlorine pesticides metabolites and the breast cancer of the exposed population was analyzed by conditional logistic regression model by SAS 8.2 Software. Results Compared with the control,significant higher rates of detection of p,p'-DDD and o,p'-DDT were seen in the case group and the levels of p,p'-DDE,?-HCH and ?-HCH in serum were higher in the case group,and there was a significant difference in serum residues levels of ?-HCH,p,p'-DDE and o,p'-DDT in different exposure areas in Tangshan,the high exposure area showed higher residues levels than the low exposure area. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed high pesticides exposure after the earthquake,the serum residues of p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDT were associated with breast cancer risk,ORs were 6.592(95%CI:1.402-31.002),2.405(95%CI:1.033-5.600)and 1.845(95%CI:1.028-3.353) respectively. Conclusion Exposure to environmental organochlorines may be one of the risk factors for breast cancer; Higher pesticides exposure after the earthquake may increases breast cancer risk in Tangshan area.

Aim To investigate the immunomodulative effect of hesperidin on immunodepressed mice.Methods The immunosuppressed mice were induced by cyclophosphamide (Cy, ip). Indexes of immune organs were calculated. Phagocytosis of mononuclear macrophage was determined by cleaning carbon particle method. Spectrophotography was used to estimate levels of serum specific IgG, IgM (HCIgM, HCIgG). Plaque forming cell (PFC) was determined with quantitative haemolysis of SRBC (QHS). Splenic lymphocytes proliferation was measured by MTT method. The mouse delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) model induced by dinitoflruorobenzene (DNFB) was used to study the effect of hesperidin on the level of DTH and subset of T lymphocyte. Results Hesperidin remarkably increased indexes of spleen and thymus, the rate of clearance and clearance index, but had no significant impact on HCIgM, HCIgG and PFC. In addition, it could enhance the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes and reverse DTH response to normal level. Conclusion Our results indicated that hesperidin had an enhanced effect on nonspecific immunity and specific cellular immunity in immunodepressed mice, while specific humoral immunity wasn′t significantly changed.

The recent investigations have demonstrated that epigenetic such as DNA methylation and histone modification was closely associated with cell growth and malignant tumors, and epigenetic modification was responsible for an important cause of oncogenesis. However, for the recent years some observations have been also shown that the development of tumorigenesis was attributed to transformation expression in microRNA. The latest investigations have revealed that epigenetic was involved in modulation of microRNA expression, on the contrary some kinds of microRNAs could also control epigenetic, moreover, the reciprocal modulation between microRNA and epigenetic could regulate gene expression and induce tumorigenesis. At the same time the data likewise displayed that epigenetic adjusted microRNA expression principally in a way of DNA methylation or histone modification, nevertheless microRNA regulated epigenetic by way of methyltransferases expression, DNA methylation maintenance and histone modification. With regard to the reciprocal modulation between microRNA and epigenetic, a comprehensive and systemic review of reciprocal relationship in modulation of cell growth and oncogenesis was gived.

Objective To explore the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on the expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1,phosphorylated STAT1 (P-STAT1),STAT3,P-STAT3 and cell apoptosis in rat models of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Methods Eighty male SpragueDawley rats were randomly and evenly divided into four groups by completely random design method: shamoperation (group A),cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (group B),cerebral ischemia-reperfusion ± saline (group C) and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion ± EPO (group D).The model of focal cerebral ischemiareperfusion injury was established by blocking the left middle cerebral artery.All rats underwent MRI for the detection of the changes of infarct area between 2 h post ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion.Western blot was used to observe the expression of STAT1,P-STAT1,STAT3,P-STAT3.Terminal oxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to evaluate the cell apoptosis including the relative area (ROI area/whole brain area of the same layer × 100％) of abnormal signal region,relative optical density (rOD) and apoptotic index.One-way analysis of variance and q test were used to analyze the data.Results On T2WI imaging,rats in group B and group C presented large hyperintense areas in the cortex and subcortex of left hemispheric ((28.00±4.60)％ and (29.70±4.80)％ respectively).Group D presented less hyperintense areas in the cortex and subcortex of left hemispheric compared with group B and group C ((21.10±2.40) ％; F=11.285,P＜0.01).The expression of STAT1 and STAT3 proteins was not significantly affected by ischemia-reperfusion and EPO intervention compared with normal brain tissue (F=0.806,1.558,both P＞0.05).However,the level of P-STAT1 was low in group A (rOD =0.75±0.13) but increased after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Compared with group B and group C,P-STAT1 expression was lower in group D (B-D: 2.08±0.15,2.05±0.16,1.92±0.05; F=3.274,P＞0.05).The level of P-STAT3was also low in group A (rOD=1.02±0.09).Compared with group B and group C,P-STAT3 expression in group D was significandy higher (B-D: 2.22±0.13,2.04±0.14,4.21±0.21 ; F=40.719,P＜0.01).The apoptotic index of group B and group C was (42.00±1.30)％ and (41.20±2.50)％,respectively,which was significantly higher than that of group D ((20.90± 1.46) ％ ; F=378.704,P＜0.01).Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection of EPO can reduce the cerebral ischemic area and the number of apoptotic cells in the ischemic penumbra in rat ischemia-reperfusion models through increasing P-STAT3 and decreasing P-STAT1 levels.

ObjectiveTo evaluate interventional therapy for Buddi-Chiari syndrome with occlusive hepatic veins.MethodsIn this study,37 Budd-Chiari syndrome cases with occlusive hepatic vein undergoing abdominal ultrasonography, CT scan, and liver vascular reconstruction before operation.Interventional procedures included recanalization of occlusive hepatic veins through transjugular,transfemoral vein or both. ResultsProcedures were successful in 34 patients (success rate 34/37,92％ ),with 38 hepatic veins opened. After hepatic vein was opened,nine patients were treated with PTA alone.27 stents were placed in 25 patients,with 2 cases receiving stent placement in both the right hepatic vein and accessory hepatic vein.7 home-made Z-stent were placed after the opening of occluded inferior vena cara.After the procedures hepatic vein pressure dropped from ( 36.0 ± 3.4) cm to ( 21.0 ± 2.3 ) cm H20.Recurrence of stenosis or oclusion was found in 4 out of 9 receiving PTA only after a follow-up of (23.0 ± 2.0) months.In the other 23 patients with stent implantation there were 6 eases of restenosis or occlusion (6/23,26％ ). ConclusionsAccording to the hepatic vein and intrahepatic collateral venous occlusion conditions,correct selection of interventional methods can significantly decrease the hepatic and portal vein pressure,improve clinical symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the surgical and interventional therapy in patients with acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.Methods In this series,31 acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis(SMVT) cases were reviewed from Oct 2006 to Feb 2012.According to varied clinical presence,patients received superior mesenteric vein thrombectomy with necrotic bowel resection or indirected catheter thrombolysis through superior mesenteric artery.Results 6 of 9 cases undergoing surgery were cured and other 3 still complained abdominal distension when discharged for not being able to bear anticoagulation and thrombolysis after operation due to alimentary tract hemorrhage,and residual thrombus was shown in superior veins by venography.17 of 22 treated by interventional therapy gained obvious relief within 72 hours after intervention,others gained symptomatic relief in 5-7 days.Indirected catheter thrombolysis were interrupted in 2 due to alimentary tract hemorrhage.One patient was shifted to surgery 48 hours after catheter thrombolysis due to deterioration.Mean duration of follow-up after hospital discharge was (19 ± 5) months in 25 cases,20 had no abdominal distension and pain,3 with postcibal abdominal distension.Conclusions Indirected thrombolytic therapy by way of the superior mesenteric artery is a technically simple,safe and effective therapy for patients with acute SMVT.
