Based on the "Vaccination of Solid Organ Transplant Candidates and Recipients: Guidelines from the American Society of Transplantation Infectious Diseases Community of Practice", and in combination with the clinical reality of infectious diseases and vaccination after organ transplantation in China, as well as referring to relevant recommendations from home and abroad in recent years, these guidelines are formulated from aspects such as epidemiology, types of vaccines, vaccination principles, target population, and specific vaccine administration. The "Guidelines for Vaccination of Kidney Transplant Candidates and Recipients in China" aims to provide theoretical reference for medical workers in the field of kidney transplantation in China, regarding the vaccination of kidney transplant candidates and recipients. It is expected to better guide the vaccination of kidney transplant candidates and recipients, reduce the risk of postoperative infection, and improve survival outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the midterm and long-term efficacy of flow-diverter device in treating intracranial aneurysms (IAs) and analyze its clinical outcomes in anterior circulation aneurysms and posterior circulation aneurysms.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. The data of 566 intracranial aneurysm patients (681 aneurysms) treated with the flow-diverter device at Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 205 males and 361 females, with an age ( M(IQR)) of 55 (14) years (range:18 to 77 years). Twelve patients (12 aneurysms) had ruptured aneurysms before surgery, and 75 patients (172 aneurysms) had multiple aneurysms. Preoperative modified Rankin scale (mRS) >2 points in 16 patients.There were 444 patients (552 aneurysms) in the anterior circulation group and 122 patients (129 aneurysms) in the posterior circulation group. Postoperative follow-up was conducted via outpatient visits or telephone calls at 3 to 12 months after the procedure. Baseline aneurysm parameters, surgical information, and imaging and clinical outcomes were collected. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent factors associated with long-term incomplete aneurysm occlusion. Results:Intraoperative use of flow diverter-assisted coil embolization was performed in 221 patients (226 aneurysms), and balloon assistance was used in 20 patients (22 aneurysms).The intraoperative rupture rate was 0.5% (3/566), and the intraoperative thrombosis rate was 0.7% (4/566). The in-hospital mortality rate was 1.2% (7/566). Postoperative complications included subarachnoid hemorrhage in 5 patients (0.9%), intracerebral hemorrhage in 2 patients (0.4%), ischemic stroke in 19 patients (3.6%), and transient ischemic attack in 16 patients (3.0%). Imaging follow-up was available for 447 patients (548 aneurysms) with a follow-up duration of (16.7±6.7) months (range:3 to 45 months). Incomplete aneurysm occlusion occurred in 79 patients (95 aneurysms), accounting for 17.3% (95/548). Parent artery stenosis was observed in 63 patients (72 aneurysms), accounting for 13.1% (72/548). Clinical follow-up was available for 530 patients (644 aneurysms) with a follow-up duration of (29.4±11.3) months (range:3 to 54 months). One case of mRS score >2 points was observed in 18 patients, accounting for 3.4% (18/530). Among them, the rate of incomplete occlusion in the anterior and posterior circulation group was 16.9% (76/450) and 19.4% (19/98), respectively, and the rate of parent artery stenosis was 10.9% (49/450) and 23.5% (23/98), respectively; the rate of mRS score>2 points was 2.4% (10/415) and 7.0% (8/115), respectively. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that aneurysm neck size ( β=0.075, OR=1.08, P=0.028) and coil use ( β=-1.070, OR=0.034, P=0.001) were independent factors influencing long-term aneurysm occlusion. Conclusions:The flow-diverter device demonstrates good safety and efficacy in the midterm and long-term treatment of overall IAs. However, further research is needed to focus on the midterm and long-term treatment outcomes of aneurysms with relatively wide neck and posterior circulation aneurysms.

Objective To prepare specific mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) against human adenovirus type 55 Hexon protein (HAdV55 Hexon). Methods The Hexon genes of HAdV55, 3, 4, 7, 16 and 21 were chemically synthesized as templates for PCR amplification. The prokaryotic expression plasmids pET28a-HAdV55 Hexon and eukaryotic expression plasmids pCAGGS-HAdV3, 4, 7, 16, 21 and 55 Hexon were constructed respectively. The pET28a-HAdV55 Hexon plasmid was transformed into E. coli competent cell BL21 (DE3) and was induced by IPTG. After the purified inclusion body was denatured and renatured, Hexon55 protein was purified by tangential flow filtration system. pCAGGS-HAdV55 Hexon was used to immunize BALB/c mice by cupping, and HAdV55 Hexon protein was used to booster immunization. The anti-HAdV55 Hexon mAb was prepared by hybridoma technique and the titer and subclass were determined. The specificity of antibody was identified by Western blot using HEK293T cells transfected with pCAGGS-HAdV55 Hexon and by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using BHK cells transfected with pCAGGS-HAdV55 Hexon. Both clones with high titer were selected, and the cross-reactivity of pCAGGS-HAdV3, 4, 7, 16, 21 and 55 Hexon transfected cells were analyzed by Western blot analysis and IFA. Results PET28a-HAdV55 Hexon and pCAGGS-HAdV55 Hexon, 3, 4, 7, 16 and 21 expression plasmids were successfully constructed. BL21 transformed with pET28a-HAdV55 Hexon was induced by IPTG. The HAdV55 Hexon protein was mainly expressed in the form of inclusion body. After denaturation and renaturation, the purified HAdV55 Hexon protein was obtained by ultrafiltration. Six hybridoma cell lines secreting HAdV55 Hexon mAb were obtained. The antibody subclass analysis showed that 2 strains were IgG2a subtypes and 4 strains were IgG2b. Two specific HAdV55 Hexon antibodies with high titer were obtained, and there was no cross-reactivity with HAdV3, 4, 7, 16, 21 Hexon. Conclusion The specific mice mAb against HAdV55 Hexon provides an experimental basis for establishing its antigen detection method.

As an important biological resource of a country or region, human genetic resources (HGR) are increasingly attracting attention and concern from many countries internationally, and even have been elevated to the dimension of national sovereignty by many countries. As a large country with rich and diverse HGR, relevant regulatory work in China started relatively late compared to foreign countries, but has developed rapidly. However, looking around the world, there is still room for further improvement and development of domestic HGR regulation. By reviewing the regulatory legislation of HGR in some countries abroad, this paper sorted out their advanced experience and highlighted measures in detail, and summarized their deep-seated legislative guidance. A detailed analysis and evaluation were conducted from seven aspects:the advanced level of HGR legislation and the enhancement of legal effectiveness, the systematization and systematization of policies and regulations, the unification of platforms and relevant standards, the highlight of the concept of ethics and the rule of law, the strengthening of anti-discrimination protection, the special protection of major human genetic family resources and national special protection areas of HGR, and the establishment of principled consensus or agreement on HGR in international and local regions, to provide reference for the construction of regulatory policies and legal systems for HGR in China.

Objective:To evaluate the image quality (IQ) of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging and identify its influenfial factors in diabetes mellitus (DM) and non-DM patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods:A total of 196 consecutive CAD patients (174 males, 22 females, 68 DM; age: (57±10) years) in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between June 2016 and February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent 18F-FDG myocardial PET/CT imaging. The standardized fasting+ oral glucose loading (OGL) and intravenously injection of insulin protocol was performed. According to the FDG uptake by myocardium, background activity in blood and other visceral organ nearby the heart, the IQ was visually evaluated and scored by 0-4. Zero-two was considered as good IQ, 3-4 was regarded as poor IQ. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1 (non-DM+ good IQ), group 2 (DM+ good IQ), group 3 (DM+ poor IQ). Factors which may affect IQ were analyzed, which including OGL, the injection dose of insulin, fasting blood glucose (FBG), peak blood glucose (PBG), blood glucose (BG) level at 18F-FDG injection (BG injnection), BG increasing rate ((PBG-FBG)/FBG, %), and BG decreasing rate ((PBG-BG injection)/PBG, %). One-way analysis of variance, Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results:There were significant differences ( F values: 13.074-38.371, all P<0.05) of FBG, PBG, OGL, BG decreasing rate and the injection dose of insulin among group 1 ( n=132, 67.3%), group 2 ( n=53, 27.1%), group 3 ( n=11, 5.6%). All those parameters, except for OGL, were positively correlated with FDG PET/CT IQ ( r s values: 0.142-0.262, all P<0.05). OGL was negatively correlated with IQ ( r s=-0.324, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that FBG (odds ratio ( OR)=0.687, 95% CI: 0.633-0.746), PBG( OR=0.786, 95% CI: 0.746~0.829), BG injection( OR=0.631, 95% CI: 0.595-0.716), OGL( OR=0.897, 95% CI: 0.873-0.922), the injection dose of insulin( OR=0.680, 95% CI: 0.618-0.748) were predictive factors (all P<0.01) for good IQ in all patients. For DM patients, OGL was the only predictive factor for good IQ( OR =0.940, 95% CI: 0.904-0.960; P<0.01). Conclusions:FBG, PBG, BG injection, OGL, the injection dose of insulin can predict IQ for all patients with CAD. For DM patients with CAD, OGL is the only predictive factor for good IQ. A good IQ of 18F-FDG PET/CT could be obtained in majority of CAD patients, with the standardized fasting + OGL and intravenously injection of insulin protocol and adjust according to the personal status, and prevent the hypoglycemia from happening.

Objective:To summarize the patient profiles and therapeutic efficacies of ABO-incompatible living-related kidney transplantations at 19 domestic transplant centers and provide rationales for clinical application of ABOi-KT.Methods:Clinical cases of ABO-incompatible/compatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT/ABOc-KT) from December 2006 to December 2009 were collected. Then, statistical analyses were conducted from the aspects of tissue matching, perioperative managements, complications and survival rates of renal allograft or recipients.Results:Clinical data of 342 ABOi-KT and 779 ABOc-KT indicated that (1) no inter-group differences existed in age, body mass index (BMI), donor-recipient relationship or waiting time of pre-operative dialysis; (2) ABO blood type: blood type O recipients had the longest waiting list and transplantations from blood type A to blood type O accounted for the largest proportion; (3) HLA matching: no statistical significance existed in mismatch rate or positive rate of PRA I/II between two types of surgery; (4) CD20 should be properly used on the basis of different phrases; (5) hemorrhage was a common complication during an early postoperative period and microthrombosis appeared later; (6) no difference existed in postoperative incidence of complications or survival rate of renal allograft and recipients at 1/3/5/10 years between ABOi-KT and ABOc-KT. The acute rejection rate and serum creatinine levels of ABOi-KT recipients were comparable to those of ABOc-KT recipients within 1 year.Conclusions:ABOi-KT is both safe and effective so that it may be applied at all transplant centers as needed.

Objective To summarize the outcomes and clinical experiences of renal transplantation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients .Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for one HIV-positive case of renal transplantation .Diagnosed as chronic renal insufficiency 1 year ago ,he received hemodialysis .After a positive screen for HIV ,he received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and HIV RNA turned negative 3 months later .CD4 + T cell count was 331 cell/μl at pre-operation and there was no HIV-rated opportunistic infection or cancer . Her mother donated her kidney . Basiliximab and steroid pulse therapy were used preoperatively and immunosuppressants were used after transplantation , including tacrolimus , corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil .Results The kidney was transplanted successfully and serum creatinine declined to a normal level at day 4 after transplantation .Because of an interaction between efaverenz and tacrolimus ,the blood concentration of tacrolimus was extremely low and the dose of tacrolimus had to be raised to 0 .2 mg/(kg·d) .Antiroviral therapy remained unchanged .No rejection and other complications were observed .And HIV RNA remained negative .Conclusions Renal transplantation is optimal for HIV-positive patients whose HIV status is completely under control .However ,drug interactions needs to be considered during perioperative and postoperative periods .
