Objective To evaluate the effect of sufentanil postconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, and to investigate the possible mechanism. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley ratswere randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 6 each): sham group (group S), I/R group (group I/R), low dose of sufentanil postconditioning group (group SL), high dose of sufentanil postconditioning group (group SH) andsufentanil postconditioning plus wortmannin group (group WM). Different drugs were injected before reperfusion: normal saline (NS) and sufentanil 1 μg/kg in group SL, NS and sufentanil 3 μg /kg in group SH, wortmannin 15 μg/kg andsufentanil 1 μg/kgin group WM, and NS in group S and I/R. At the end of reperfusion, artery blood was collected for assessment of plasma cTnI concentration; And the heart was harvested for determination of infarct size (IS) and area at risk (AAR). Results Compared with group S, cTnI concentration was increasedin the rest groups (P< 0.01); Compared with group I/R, cTnI concentration was decreased in group SL, SH and WM, while IS/AAR reduced in group SL and SH (P < 0.01); Compared with group SL, cTnI concentration and IS/AAR were decreased in group SH while increased in group WM (P <0.01). Conclusion Sufentanil postconditioning could attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, and the mechanism involved PI3K related pathway.

Objective To investigate the influence of immunosuppression strategy optimization on the outcomes of the renal transplant recipients in the last decades. Methods Data from 404 renal transplant recipients from Jan. 1st, 2001 to Dec. 31st, 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into early transplant group (n = 260) and late transplant group (n= 144). The change of immunosuppression strategy included a low dose antithymoglobin (ATG) induction, a quick corticosteroid reduction and mycophenolate mofetil therapeutic monitoring with calcineurin inhibitor minimization. Recipients' gender,age, donor type, induction therapy, immunosuppression regime, occurrences of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), severe pulmonary infection and patient/allograft survival were compared between groups. A Cox regression model was used to investigate the factors that influenced the allograft survival. Results The follow-up rate was 98. 3 % in this study. The median follow-up period was 65 month (1-112 months). The proportion of ATG induction in late transplant group was significantly higher than in early transplant group (78. 5 % versus 31. 9 %, P<0. 01). The severe pulmonary infection rate was lower in late transplant group, while the BPAR rate was comparable between two groups. The allograft survival rate was significantly higher in late transplant group. Severe pulmonary infection was correlated with patient/allograft survival in Cox regression model. Conclusion The improvement of outcome in renal transplant recipients in our center is related to the optimization of immunosuppression strategy that reduces the severe pulmonary infection rate with no increase in BPAR.
