Objective To investigate the status of living relative kidney transplantation, and the clinical effects and social significances of kidney transplantation between spouses. Methods We retrospectively collected the clinical data of the department of kidney transplant of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, from January 2011 to December 2013. The spouse group as group 1, the age and sex of doners were taken into account,the siblings with the similar age of the same period were enrolled in group 2. Then the postoperative recoveries of the two groups were compared. Considering the current social status, particularly the shortage of donor kidneys, the clinical, social and family significances of kidney transplantation between spouses were analyzed. Results Twelve cases of spouses in group 1, 8 cases of siblings in group 2 , the differences of donor and recipient age of the two groups were 0.33 ± 0.98 years and 2.29 ± 7.23 years, respectively. The human major histocompatibility complex antigens (HLA) was less than three in group 1, and was greater than or equal to three in group 2. The changes of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were analyzed. No significant differences of serum creatinine and downward trend of blood urea nitrogen were observed between two groups (P = 0.84, P = 0.79). Conclusion The kidney transplantation between spouses has good clinical efficacy and great social significance, improving the status of the shortage of donor kidney and contributing to family harmony. The renal transplantation between spouses has obvious advantages and need further promotion.

Objective To dynamically monitor the changes of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets of renal transplant recipients and investigate the relationship between lymphocyte subsets with infection and rejection.Methods The clinical data of allogenic kidney transplantation recipients and living relative donors in the Department of Kidney Transplantation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were prospectively collected from June 2015 to December 2016.The data of lymphocyte subsets and other related indexes were obtained from renal transplant recipients and relatives of the same period.Results Sixty-four cases of living-relative donors and 351 cases of renal transplant recipients were enrolled in this study,and the recipients were divided into 3 groups:infection group (67 cases),acute rejection group (46 cases),and stable group (238 cases),according to the diagnostic criteria.There was significant difference in the concentration distribution of lymphocytes between the stable group and the control group (P<0.05).The stable frequency distribution range of the stable group was as follows (cells/μL):Lym (1 000-1 500),T (<1 500),CD4+ (<1 000),CD8+ (<1 000),B (<300),NK (100-300),CD4+/CD8+ (0.5-1.0).The number of Lym,T,CD4+,CD8+,NK and B cells in the preoperative patients was less than that in the healthy population (P<0.05);The number of Lym,T,CD4+, CD8+,B and NK cells was gradually decreased in the postoperative infection group,which was less than that in the stable group (P<0.05).After treatment the indicators gradually restored to the level in the stable group level;the number of T,CD4+,CD8+,B cells was highly correlated with infection.The number of T and CD4+ cells,and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were significantly increased in acute rejection group as compared with the stable group,and gradually decreased after the rejection was reversed.The number of T,CD4+,CD8+ cells was highly correlated with rejection.Lymphocyte subsets had a predictive effect on infection and rejection of recipients,and CD4+ cell count and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were independent risk factors.Conclusion The monitoring of lymphocyte subsets has an important clinical value in the evaluation of immune status and individual treatment of renal recipients.

ObjectiveTo express the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core gene in E . coli on a high level. Methods　The cDNA coding for HCV core protein was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product was　purified and digested with restriction enzymes and inserted into the downstream of PRPL promoter of a high-level ex- pression vector pBV220. HCV core gene was expressed in E. coli in a non-fused form. The expression protein was analysed by SDS-PAGE , and its immunoactivity was tested by ELISA. Results Sequence analysis of the amplified PCR products confirmed that we have successfully cloned and expresssed the intact core protein of HCV. SDS-PAGE showed that a specific protein with a molecular weight of 21kDa at a level of 14. 0％ of the total bacterial proteins ap- peared in bacteria harboring pBV/HCVCore, while this protein was absent in the control bacteria harboring pBV220. The results of enzyme immunoassay analysis showed that this protein could be specifically recognized by the HCV pos- itive sera from patients with hepatitis C . Conclusion The intact HCV core protein was successfully expressed in E . coli in a non-fused form on a high level, and its immunoactivity was high.
