Objective:To examine whether the existence of the donor-and-recipient-derived DNA chimerism in recipient’s plasma can be a predictive marker for the status of transplanted organ.Methods:One hundred and twenty-six female patients who had been transplanted with male kidney were enrolled in the present study.In these female recipients,the SRY1,DYZ11st and DYZ12nd genes on the Y chromosome from the plasma were prospectively examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results:SRY1,DYZ11st and DYZ12nd sequences were detected in the cell-free blood (plasma) of 97 (77%) of 126 female patients with male kidney.The average time-span when the transplanted kidneys functioned was 8.7 years and 5.4 years among microchimerism-positive and microchimerism-negative recipients,respectively.The frequency of the patients who had acute rejection after renal transplantation was approximately 10% and 28%in microchimerism-positive and microchimerism-negative recipients,respectively.Serum creatinine levels in microchimerism-positive patients were significantly lower than those in microchimerism-negative patients.Conclusion:These results suggest that plasma DNA microchimerism is present in certain patients following renal transplantation and measurement of plasma DNA microchimerism using quantitative RT-PCR might be a useful predictor for the acceptance of transplanted kidneys.

Objective To observe the expression and localization of D J-1 in renal fibrosis, and to investigate the expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and the level of β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation in human tubular epithelial cells. Methods In vitro, the human tubular epithehal cells (HKC cell line) were cultured with 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for 72 h. The protein expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and DJ-1 were measured by Western blot. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of D J-1 mRNA. The intracellular distribution of DJ-1 was observed by confocal microscope. In vivo, Masson stain was used to evaluate the level of renal fibrosis. The expression and disposition of DJ-1 in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. HKC cells were transfected with pEGFP-N1-DJ-1 via lipofectamine 2000. The efficiency of transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope. The expressions of DJ-1, E-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation level in the transfected cells were detected by Western blot. Results The expressions of DJ-1 protein and DJ-1 mRNA were up-regulated in renal tubular EMT cells. Most of DJ-1 protein localized in cytoplasm, and some was in nucleus. After stimulation by TGF-β1, the expressions of DJ-1 protein both in cytoplasm and nucleus was greatly increased, especially in nucleus. In vivo, renal tissue expressed DJ-1 in tubular epithelia, but little expression in glomeruli. In renal tissue from 5/6-nephrectomized rots, DJ-1 expression was greatly increased. In the DJ-1 transfectants, the expressions of DJ-1, vimentin and β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation level were up-regulated, but E-cadherin expression was suppressed. Conclusion The increased expression of DJ-1 may promote renal fibrosis.

Objective:
To explore the clinical value of 3D-DSA technology in the diagnosis and treatment guidance of hepatic artery chemoembolization.
Methods:
Liver cancer patients in the treatment groups were collected to receive 3D-DSA imaging guidance at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between March and May 2017. In addition, routine 2D-DSA imaging was selected for treatment-received group. Intra-operative blood vessels and tumor-like lesions were observed. The total exposure dose (CAK, unit mGy), cumulative irradiation intensity per unit area (DAP, unit mGy.cm2) and dosage of contrast agent (ml) were calculated separately for two groups of patients. The same senior physicians and technicians operated both groups of patients. Comparisons of measurement were analyzed by t-test and chi-square test was used for count data.
Results:
Data of twenty patients were collected from the two groups. Tumor location, target vessels structure and shape of development were clear in all patients in the treatment group. The control group had 17 cases of tumor development and the target vascular structure was clear in 16 cases. CAK mean treatment group was lower than control group (554.11 + 38.87) mGy and (644.53 + 26.70) mGy, and DAP mean treatment group was lower than the control group (125.25 + 7.54) mGy·cm2 and (143.49 + 6.18) mGy·cm2. The two groups were compared (
