Objective To investigate evaluation role of IP-10 level in urine of kidney transplant recipients when using rabbit anti-human T-lymphocyte immunoglobulin to treat acute cellular rejection.Methods A total of 40 patients who underwent renal transplantation and had been diagnosed as acute cellular rejection according to the results of histopathological examination were randomly divided them into IP-10 group (n =20) and serum creatinine group (Scr group,n =20).Urinary IP-10 and Scr levels were measured in time and patients then were treated with ATG,of which the doses and duration were adjusted according to IP-10 or Scr levels.We compared the total and daily ATG dosages,ATG administration period,side effects of ATG such as incidence of severe platelet and neutropenia,acute rejection during first 3 months and infection rates during first 1 year.Result The number of ATG duration is 5.35 ± 1.93 for IP-10 group versus 6.70 ± 1.75 for Scr group.We used a daily dose of 2.50 ± 0.57 mg/(kg·d) for IP-10 group and 2.77 ± 0.74 mg/(kg· d) for Scr group,a total dose of 13.40 ± 6.59 mg/kg for IP-10 group and 18.25 ± 7.35 mg/kg for Scr group.There was significance between the two group in above three outcomes (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significance in incidences of severe thrombocytopenia and neutropenia,incidences of acute rejection during first 3 months,incidences of infection during first 1 year between the two group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Urine IP-10 test is effective and reliable indicators which can guide ATG usage in patients with acute rejection and reduce the ATG cost.

Objective To explore the characteristics and effects of interventional therapy of transplant renal artery rupture of donation after citizens death (DCD).Method Among 28 cases of DCD renal transplantations (from February 2012 to December 2013),the transplant renal artery rupture occurred in 4 cases.Vascular complications were treated with the guide wires to place stents in the pseudoaneurysms or bleeding period.Result Pseudoaneurysms occurred in 2 cases,and they were successfully discharged after interventional treatment.In the rest two patients,the artery residual ruptured and bled after the nephrectomy,and they recovered after interventional treatment to stop bleeding.Conclusion For kidney transplant recipients,the DCD postoperative infection is risky.Some transplant kidneys have local infection and erosion of renal artery,which causes arterial hemorrhage.The interventional treatment of transplant renal artery pseudoaneurysms and rupture bleeding has the advantages of small trauma and instant effect,and can be used as an alternative treatment of open surgery.

Multimedia computing technology teaching is a new kind teaching method. It conquers many shortcomings such as poor video, poor expression in traditional teaching of microbiology. But it can also strangle the improvising creation of different teachers in teaching and then lead it to be typical " computer teaching" . So we should obey the teaching discipline in making multimedia computing technology courseware. It can lead many sections part from the class teaching if just emphasize the full use of video and audio. We should make the purpose obviously, and make it as easy as possible in teaching, and we should also explore the fixed regularity to make the teaching and studying integrated perfectly.

OBJECTIVETo explore the efficacy and feasibility of dog days moxibustion plaster therapy in treatment of allergic rhinitis of different patterns/syndromes.

METHODSAllergic rhinitis of lung deficiency and invasion of cold, spleen qi deficiency and kidney yang deficiency, 56 patients for each pattern/syndrome were randomized into a plaster therapy group and a nasal spray group, 28 cases in each one. In the plaster therapy group, according to the pattern/syndrome differentiation, with literature retrieval method, 3 acupoints of high frequency utility in clinic were selected as one group in acupoint plaster therapy. For lung deficiency and invasion of cold pattern/syndrome, Feishu (BL 13), Fengmen (BL 12) and Hegu (LI 4) were selected. For spleen qi deficiency pattern/syndrome, Pishu (BL 21), Zusanli (ST 36) and Dazhui (GV 14) were selected. For kidney yang deficiency pattern/ syndrome, Shenshu (BL 23), Dingchuan (EX-B 1) and Bailao (EX-HN 15) were selected. Separately, on July 13, 2013, July 23, 2013, August 2, 2013 and August 12, 2013, the aucpoint plaster therapy was applied, 2 to 4 h (1 to 2 h for children) each time. In the nasal spray group, beclometasone dipropionate aqueous nasal spray, 2 presses one nostril each time, 2 to 3 times a day, continuously for 4 weeks. The symptom score and efficacy were compared before and after treatment in the patients of the two groups.

RESULTSThe symptom scores of 3 patterns/syndromes were all apparently improved after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0.05), and the result in the plaster therapy group was better than that of the nasal spray group (P<0.05, P<0.01). For lung deficiency and invasion of cold pattern/syndrome, the total effective rate was 87.3% (20/24) in the plaster therapy group, better than 84.6% (22/26) in the nasal spray group (P<0.05). For spleen qi deficiency pattern/syndrome, the total effective rate was 83.3% (20/24) in the plaster therapy group, obviously better than 76.9% (22/26) in the nasal spray group (P<0.05). For kidney yang deficiency pattern/syndrome, the total effective rate was 79.2% (19/24) in the plaster therapy group, better than 76.9% (22/26) in the nasal spray group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe dog days moxibustion plaster therapy achieves definite efficacy on allergic rhinitis at the acupoints selected based on the differentiation of different patterns/syndromes and the efficacy is better than beclometasone dipropionate aqueous nasal spray.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Hepatitis B virus X (HBx) gene transfection on expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA in human bile duct carcinoma cell lines QBC939 and to elucidate the significance of cis-activation of hTERT mRNA by HBx gene on the carcinogenesis of bile duct.

METHODSQBC939 were cultured in vitro and co-transfected with eukaryotic expression vector containing the HBx coding region and cloning vector containing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) coding sequence using liposome-mediated gene transduction technique. Thirty six hours after transfection, EGFP expression, the indicator of successful transfection in cells, was determined. Flow cytometry was applied to determine the transfection efficiency. Cells were harvested and total RNA was extracted with TRI(ZOL) Reagent. The expression of hTERT mRNA in QBC939 was assayed by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction. The expression of HBx protein in QBC939 was detected by immunocytochemistry staining and western blotting.

RESULTSThe transfection efficiency was 29.6% for both HBx expression vector and vector control group. The expression of hTERT mRNA was significantly increased when transfected with HBx expression vector than that transfected with OPTI-MEM medium and vector only. The expression of HBx protein could only be found in the cells when transfected with HBx expression vector by immunocytochemistry staining and western blotting.

CONCLUSIONHBx gene transfection may up-regulate the transcriptional expression of hTERT mRNA in bile duct carcinoma cells. The cis-activation of hTERT gene by HBx gene is primary mechanism for carcinogenesis of biliary epithelia after HBV infection.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of Tongfu Decoction (TFD) on the gastric emptying of normal rats, thus exploring whether it could promote gastric emptying rapidly.

METHODSThirty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, i.e., the normal control group, the domperidone group, and the TFD group, 10 in each group. They were respectively administered with normal saline, the domperidone suspension, and TFD by gastrogavage. Thirty min later the gastric emptying of mice was detected by single photon emission computed tomography technology (SPECT) labeled with 99m Tc-DTPA, and the gastric half-emptying time and the gastric emptying rate were calculated.

RESULTSThe gastric half-emptying time was (19.0 +/-1.7) min in the normal control group, (12.9 +/- 3.4) min in the domperidone group, and (12.7 +/- 4.1) min in the TFD group. Compared with the normal control group, the gastric half-emptying time was significantly shortened in the domperidone group and the TFD group (P <0.05). The gastric emptying rate at 15 min was 41.1% +/- 5. 8% in the normal control group, 52.9% +/- 10.9% in the domperidone group, and 56.0% +/- 10.3% in the TFD group, while at 30 min it was 65.6% +/- 2.8%, 72.9% +/- 2.6%, and 72.4% +/- 4.9%, respectively. Compared with the normal control group, the gastric emptying rate at 15 min and 30 min both significantly increased in the domperidone group and the TFD group (P <0.05). There was no statistical difference in the gastric half-emptying time or the gastric emptying rate between the two groups (P >0.05).

CONCLUSIONTFD showed similar effects as domperidone in rapidly promoting gastric emptying, and could shorten the gastric half-emptying time in normal rats.
