Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of anti CD25 Ab (Zenapax;Daclizumab) induction therapy in 62 patients following renal transplantation. Methods Sixty-two renal transplant recipients treated with Daclizumab induction therapy were analyzed retrospectively from Sep. 1999 to May 2004. Main immunosuppressive therapy regimen consisted of steroids cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil in all recipients after operation. According to Daclizumab dosage, these recipients were divided into 1-dose group, 2-dose group and over 2-dose group. All patients received Daclizumab 1 h before operation.Results The patients subject to Daclizumab were followed up from 3 months to 57 months. Seven of them had acute rejection ( 11.3 %) at intervals for 10.3 months, from 2 months to 14 months. Patient who had acute rejection at 10th month after operation lost his graft at 13th month after transplantation for graft dysfunction. The incidence of acute rejection was 15.6 % among 45 patients followed up over 12 months. Conclusions Induction therapy of Daclizumab could decrease the incidence of acure rejection, delay the time of acute rejection and relieve the severity of rejection. More graft can be long-survival. We can lower the dosage of CsA effectively and safely after induction of Daclizumab.

Objective To compare the graft function of 2 methods of kidney harvesting,the modified method of combined liver and kidney procurement and rapid en bloc kidney procurement. Methods The clinical data of 220 cadaveric renal transplantation recipients were collected(12 months follow-up),174 cases from en bloc kidney procurement and 46 from combined liver and kidney procurement.The average harvesting time,the incidence of renal vein injury,1 year kidney survival and incidence of acute rejection were compared between the two methods.Results In average harvesting time and incidence of renal vein injury,the en bloc kidney procurement were better than the method of combined liver and kidney procurement.However,the method of combined liver and kidney procurement was better than the en bloc kidney procurement in 1 year kidney survival,1 year incidence of acute rejection and average warm ischemia time.There was no difference in 1 year survival of patients and 24 h,1 week and 1 year graft function after transplantation. Conclusion Although the method of combined liver and kidney procurement is better than the en bloc kidney procurement in 1 year kidney survival and 1 year incidence of acute rejection,there is no difference between the 2 methods in 1 year survival of patients and graft function after transplantation.

Objective To assess the significance of urethral sphincter electromyography (US-EMG) and external anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG) for the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods US-EMG and EAS-EMG were performed in 9 patients who were diagnosed as MSA.Duration,motor unit action potentials amplitude,polyphasicity,as well as recruited pattern and amplitude during powerful contraction were recorded and analyzed.Results Among 9 patients who were diagnosed as MSA,7 cases showed neural injury by both US-EMG and EAS-EMG.There was significant difference of electromyographic findings between US-EMG group and EAS-EMG group (average volatility (μV):1063.44 ±499.92 vs 634.89 ±265.07; polyphasic wave:0(0,20％ ) vs 57％ (28％,63％ ) ; t =2.567,P=0.033;t =2.833,P=0.012).Conclusions Although US-EMG may be difficult to perform,US-EMG may have the same specificity as EAS-EMG for the diagnosis of MSA,especially for the diagnosis of MSA patients only with urination disorders,who are involved in Onuf neclear according to some of the abnormal indexes.

Objective To observe the changes and significance of blood fat and myocardial enzymes in patients with hypothyroid myopathy before and after substitutional treatment.Methods The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C,AST, LDH, HBDH and CKMB were detected in 72 cases with hypothyroid myopathy patients before and after substitutional treatment and 60 healthy controls. Results The levels of TC,TG and LDL-C in hypothyroid myopathy patients before substitutional treatment were significantly higher than those in control group ( all P ＜ 0. 05 ), and then significantly low after treatment,which had no significant difference with control group( all P ＞0. 05). The levels of AST,LDH,HBDH and CKMB in hypothyroid myopathy patients before substitutional treatment were significantly higher than those in control group( all P ＜ 0. 05 ) ,and then significantly low after treatment,which had no significant difference with control group( all P ＞0. 05). Conclusion The levels of blood fat and myocardial enzymes were significantly increased in hypothyroid myopathy patients, and recovery to normal after substitutional treatment.

Objective: To study the effect of Maitork (a sodium chloride injection containing Ginkgo bioba extract and ligustrazine phosphate) on plasma levels of fibrinogen (Fg), platelet granule membrane protein 140 (GMP-140), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods: Eighty male SD rats were randomly allocated into groups 3-day (n=40) and 7-day (n=40) after operation. Then each group was divided into 4 subgroups: sham-operation, ischemia control, Ginaton and Maitork. The focal cerebral ischemia model was established in rats. The activities of GMP-140 and tPA were measured by chromogenic substrate assay, and the level of Fg was measured by gel plaque assay. Results: The level of Fg in the Ginaton group was significantly higher than that in the ischemia control group, and the 7-day group was also significantly higher than that in the Maitork group (P

Objective To investigate the genetic heterogeneity of 5’-NCR of HCV genotype 1b.Methods We selected 147 HBV genotype 1b serum samples. HCV 5’-NCR fragments were amplified from these samples by use of RT-PCR assay and sequenced after using restriction endonuclease Mbo Ⅰ and BamH Ⅰ. We analyzed the phylogenetic trees of the samples and compared them with 40 isolates of HCV genotype 1b.Results The sequencing reports indicated the isolates of HCV genotype 1b recognized by BamHⅠat position 117 by a substitution (C-T) at position 120 in HCV genotype 1b viruses in China. Of 147 samples, 17 (11.56%) samples for one BamHⅠrecognization position, 26 (17.69%) for neither BamH Ⅰ recognization position nor Mbo Ⅰ,6 samples (4.08%) for two Mbo I recognization position, 18(12.24%)for one MboⅠrecognization position.Conclusions Of 147 HBV genotype 1b serum samples, 54.42% for one Mbo I recognization position, whether this have relationship with the response to IFN therapy provide the framwork for future detailed investigation of HCV antviral therapy. There is specific BamH I recognization position in isolates of HCV genotype 1b in China as compared to the other 40 HCV 1b isolates. The role of this specific mutation needs to be further researched.

Objectives In our studies before, we reported mutation C-T at -222 of hepatitis C virus type 1b genotyped on 5′ noncoding region (5′NCR). There was no this mutation of type 1b recorded in GenBank. Since genotypiog based on 5′NCR cannot differentiate subtypes, it is necessary to investigate whether the hepatitis C virus genotype 1b strains with mutation C-T belongs to other subtypes of genotype 1. Methods 64 HCV genotype 1b samples were amplified from 5′NCR by RT-PCR.Then the products were digested by use of BamHⅠ restriction enzymes. We randomly chose 6 samples with BamHⅠ restriction site and subjected them to amplification of 5′NCR and NS5B. The sequences of 5′NCR were analyzed. Sequences of NS5B fragments from the 6 samples were respectively subjected to phylogenetic analysis with subtypes of genotype 1 and 38 complete genomes of genotype 1b from GenBank.Results The phylogenetic analysis of 6 samples and subtypes of genotype 1 indicated that the genotypes of 6 strains with BamHⅠ restriction site in 5′NCR were type 1b, instead of subtype of type 1. Tree construction with 38 complete genomes of genotype 1b showed that the 6 mutants of genotype 1b did not belong to the same branch of the tree and there were no genetic differences between the mutants and the other strains of genotype 1b.Conclusions Our research indicated that the hepatitis C virus stains of C-T in 5′NCR were mutants of type 1b. Since the 5′NCR is a highly conserved region of HCV, the mutation might have some relationship to the long-time IFN therapy.

Objective To find out the risk factors of early pulmonary infections after renal transplantatioa Methods The data were collected from 96 patients receiving renal transplantation between Oct. 2006 and Oct 2010, including 48 cases of early lung infection after renal transplantation as infection group, and 48 patients receiving immunosuppressive regimen at the same period as-control group. Taking the factors of lung infecition as variables, t test or chi-square test was used in univariate analyses whereas logistic regression was used in multivariate analyses. Results Single factor analysis showed that induction therapy, albumin levels, dose of steroid in 1 month after operation,family income and prophylactic SMZ treatment were related to lung infectioa Analysis of multiple variables logistic regression revealed that induction therapy, albumin levels, dose of steroid in 1 month after operation and prophylactic SMZ treatment were related to lung infection. Conclusion The correlation analysis indicated that induction therapy and dose of steroid in 1 month after operation have positive correlations with pulmonary infection, while albumin levels and prophylactic SMZ treatment have negative correlations with pulmonary infection.

Objective To analyze diagnostic evaluation of urethral sphincter electromyography (US-EMGs) for patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods Totally 15 patients who were diagnosed as MSA were examined as treatment group while 17 non-MSA patients were examined as controls.US-EMGs were performed in the both groups.Spontaneous activities when relax,parameters of motor unit potentials(MUPs) mean duration and amplitude,percentage of polyphasic ware,satellite potential,recruitment potentials and amplitude when strong contraction were recorded and analyzed.Results USEMGs changes of various abnormalities were found in 13 cases (86.7％) in MSA group.There were significant differences of electromyographic findings between the MSA group and control group including MUPs mean duration[(12.79 ±3.18)ms vs (9.49 ± 1.51)ms] and amplitude[(828.53 ±459.89) μV vs (378.76 ± 152.26) μV] as well as recruitment potentials [(11.47 ± 21.55) ％ vs (8.23 ± 10.74) ％] and amplitude [(2.19 ± 1.24) mV vs (0.75 ± 0.42) mV] when strong contraction (all P values ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is certain value of US-EMGs for the diagnosis of MSA.It could be used as a routine electrophysiological method for the patients who are suspected of MSA.It could be a supplement of externalanal sphincter electromyography.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in the clinic. METHODS:From 2012 to 2014,5 medical records were selected randomly from 17 clinical departments each month,1 005 cases in 2012,1 020 cases each year in 2013 and 2014,a total of 3 045 cases. Rationality of antibiotics use was analyzed to summarize and analyze irrational drug use. RE-SULTS:The rate of antibiotics use from 2012 to 2014 were 39.90%,36.27% and 32.84%;the rational rate of antibiotics medical orders were 40.90%,68.11% and 82.67%. Irrational drug use manifested as irrational medication time,unreasonable drug selec-tion,inappropriate indications,inappropriate drug selection,inappropriate usage and dosage,inappropriate drug combination, off-label use etc. CONCLUSIONS:By clinical pharmacistsadvance interventionandadministrative intervention,the use of an-tibiotics in wards of our hospital tend to be more reasonable. But it still necds to strengthen awareness arnd management to effective-ly protect the rational drug use.
