Objective To analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of post transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in renal transplant recipients, establish a prediction model for PTDM and evaluate its prediction value. Methods Clinical data of 915 renal transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed. According to the occurrence of PTDM, all recipients were divided into the PTDM group (n=78) and non-PTDM group (n=837). The main indexes of recipients were collected. The risk factors for the occurrence of PTDM in renal transplant recipients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. The prediction model for PTDM was established and its prediction value was evaluated. Results Family history of diabetes mellitus, body mass index (BMI), preoperative 2 h postprandial blood glucose and preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of PTDM in renal transplant recipients. The prediction model for PTDM was logit (P)=2.199×family history of diabetes (yes=1, no=0)+0.109×BMI+0.151×2 h postprandial blood glucose (mmol/L)+0.508×glycosylated hemoglobin (%)-9.123. The results of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of these 4 predictors combined for predicting PTDM in renal transplant recipients was 0.830 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.786-0.873], the cut-off value was 0.0608, the sensitivity was 0.821, the specificity was 0.700, and the Youden index was 0.521 (P < 0.05). Conclusions Family history of diabetes mellitus, BMI, preoperative 2 h postprandial blood glucose and preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin are the independent risk factors for the occurrence of PTDM in renal transplant recipients. The prediction model for PTDM combined with4 predictors yield relatively high prediction value for PTDM.

Objective To explore treatment methods of donor kidney with single calculus in living renal transplantation and their effect.Methods The treatment experience of donor kidneys with unilateral renal calculus in living renal transplantation of 3 cases was summarized,which were diagnosed before operation.The kidney with renal calculus was excised as the donor kidney;ureteroscopic lithotomy was conducted in vitro,and then renal transplantation was performed by routine operation.Results There was no early complication such as delayed graft function and acute rejection in 3 recipients after operation.Three pairs of donors and recipients were followed up for 34,45 and 62 months respectively.The color Doppler ultrasound examination of urinary system after renal transplantation showed that,new renal calculus and urinary tract obstruction did not occur in donor's preserved kidneys and recipient's transplant kidneys.Renal function of all donors and recipients was good.Three donors were followed up until now,and no abnormal urine routine was discovered.One recipient developed IgA nephropathy,which was considered to be recurrent nephropathy and had nothing to do with renal calculus.Conclusions The donor kidney with single calculus in living renal transplantation can be treated effectively by ureteroscopic lithotomy in vitro after donor kidneys are excised.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors contributing to post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients within one year post-transplantation. Methods: A total of 293 non-diabetic kidney transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into non-PTDM group and PTDM group according to the diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus. The incidence of PTDM was calculated and the potential risk factors of PTDM were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results: Among the 293 non-diabetic patients, 36 patients developed PTDM within 1 year, with an incidence of 12.3%. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that age (OR 1.055, 95% CI 1.014-1.098, P=0.009) , body mass index [odd ratio (OR) 1.231, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.084-1.398, P=0.001], polycystic kidney as the primary disease (OR 1.508, 95% CI 1.006-2.262, P=0.047) , 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (OR 1.186, 95% CI 1.04-1.53, P=0.011) , HbA1c (OR 1.732, 95% CI 1.075-3.428, P=0.015) and 1-hour postprandial blood C-peptide (OR 0.869, 95% CI 0.804-0.939, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for PTDM in kidney transplant recipients within 1-year post-transplantation. Conclusion Patients with older age, obesity, polycystic kidney as the primary disease, higher level of HbA1c and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and lower level of 1-hour postprandial blood C-peptide may have higher risk of developing PTDM.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in infectious donors from organ donation after citizen's death and preventive strategies for renal transplant recipients. Methods Clinical data of 412 donors and 803 recipients from organ donation after citizen's death were retrospectively analyzed. All donors underwent culture of airway secretions, urine, blood and renal lavage fluid. The incidence rate of infection, distribution and composition ratio of pathogenic bacteria of donors from organ donation after citizen's death were observed. The scores of all donors were evaluated according to the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay for donors, the situation of abdominal trauma and the results of body fluid culture, etc. According to the score, the recipients received different infection prevention regimes. The incidence rate of donor-derived infection (DDI) and clinical prognosis of the recipients were analyzed. Results A total of 243 donors were diagnosed with infection in 412 donors from organ donation after citizen's death with an infection rate of 59.0%. In total, 456 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, mainly derived from the airway secretions (71.7%). Gram-negative bacteria dominantly consisted of Klebsiella pneumoniae and acinetobacter baumannii. Gram-positive bacteria mainly included staphylococcus aureus and fungus mainly included yeast-type fungus. Three recipients (kidneys from 2 donors respectively) developed DDI with an incidence rate of 0.4%. Conclusions The infection rate of donors from organ donation after citizen's death is relatively high. It is effective to prevent the incidence of DDI by grading the risk of infection of donors and adopting rational preventive plan according to the score.

Objective To investigate the safety of young recipients undergoing living donor renal transplantation from elderly relative donors through long-term follow-up of the pathological changes. Methods According to the age of donors, 28 young recipients were divided into the observation group (n=14, elderly donors) and control group (n=14, young and middle-aged donors). The 7-year survival after renal transplantation, the serum creatinine (Scr) levels at various postoperative time points were compared between two groups. The chronic pathological injury scores of renal allograft biopsy at time-zero, postoperative 6-month and 7-year were compared between two groups. The expression levels of renal interstitial fibrosis indicators connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, laminin (LN), fibronectin (FN), cell senescence indicators intercellular connexin (Cx)-43 and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) at postoperative 6-month and 7-year were compared between two groups. Results The 7-year survival rates in the observation and control groups were 78.5% and 92.8% with no statistical significance (P > 0.05). In the observation and control groups, the levels of Scr were 190 and 160 μmol/L at the postoperative 7 d, and 170 and 125 μmol/L at postoperative 1 month. At each postoperative time point, the levels of Scr in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P > 0.05). The total chronic pathological injury scores of renal transplant biopsy at time-zero in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P > 0.05), whereas the total chronic pathological injury scores at postoperative 7-year did not significantly differ between two groups (P > 0.05). Within either group, the total chronic pathological injury scores at postoperative 7-year was remarkably higher than those at time-zero and postoperative 6-month (both P < 0.05). The expression levels of CTGF, TGF-β, LN, FN, mTOR, Cx43 of renal transplant tissue at postoperative 7-year did not significantly differ between two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions The long-term follow-up outcomes demonstrate that the pathological changes of young recipients undergoing renal transplantation from elderly donors are similar to those from young and middle-aged donors. It is safe and feasible for young recipients to undergo renal transplantation from elderly donors in the pathological perspective.

Objective:To analyze the association of pre-transplant risk factors with diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation and examine the significance of preventing the occurrence in kidney transplantation recipients.Methods:A total of 290 kidney transplantation recipients were retrospectively reviewed at our transplantation center from August 2018 to May 2020.Diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation was employed as a primary outcome index.Multivariate Logistic regression model was utilized for constructing A (without adjusting for covariates)、B(covariates include: gender, dialysis mode, type of donation)and C(covariates include: gender, dialysis mode, type of donation, calcineurin inhibitor, antiproliferative drugs, primary disease, fasting blood glucose, 1 h postprandial blood glucose, fasting C peptide, 1 h and 2 h postprandial C peptide, fasting C-peptide index, 1 h postprandial C-peptide index, albumin, triglycerides, total cholesterol)to evaluate the relationship between diabetes mellitus after transplantation and age, body mass index, 2 h postprandial blood glucose(2 h-PG), HbA1c, and 2 h postprandial C-peptide index(2 h-CPI).Results:In model A, age [odds ratio(OR)1.1, 95% confidence interval( CI)1.0~1.1], BMI(OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0~1.3), 2 h PG(OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1~1.4), HbA1c(OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.5~4.9), 2 h-CPI(OR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5~1.0), model B/C had similar results with A. Age, BMI, 2 h PG and HbA1c were all risk factors for diabetes mellitus after transplantation while 2 h-CPI was a protective factor.Quartile stratification was analyzed by regression model.And trend test was significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:Age, BMI, 2 h PG, HbA1c and 2 h-CPI are correlated with diabetes mellitus after kidney transplantation.
