Objective To explore the relationship between adjustment of immunosuppressant and prognosis in renal transplantation recipients with pulmonary infection. Methods The clinical data of 98 patients with pulmonary infection following renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups: conventional group (n = 45) and immunosuppressant adjustment group (n = 53). The mortality, recovery time and rejection rate in two groups were analyzed under the statement of serious infection (SOFA≥12) and slight infection (SOFA< 12) by sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score. Results When the SOFA scores ≥ 12, the mortality and recovery time in immunosuppressant adjustment group were significantly lower than in conventional group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the rejection rate between two groups (P>0.05). When the SOFA scores <11, there was no significant difference in mortality and recovery time between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of rejection in immunosuppressant adjustment group was significantly higher than in conventional group (P<0.05).Conclusion Mortality could be decreased and course of anti-infection treatment could also be shortened by adjusting the immunosuppressant in renal transplantation recipients with serious pulmonary infection (SOFA≥12). Immunosuppressant agent was proposed to maintain the original treatment protocol when the infection was slight (SOFA<12).

OBJECTIVE On the basis of the different shapes of upper airway(UA)obstruction and collapse characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS), the effect of modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP)combined with coblation in OSAHS operations on patients with AHI≥20,which could be done selectively to patients with various or multiple UA obstructive sites, was explored. METHODS 30 patients of OSAHS were diagnosed and analysed by polysomnography(PSG)to have AHIs≥20. Based on the shapes of their UAs classified according to the degree of the shortened lateral and radial vectors,the UPPP was modified in two ways: either the lateral vector or the radial vector was amplified, or both could be amplified with coblation. All patients were analyzed by questionnaires(PSG)Muller's maneuver and oral cavity measurement pre-and 6 months post-operation. RESULTS 86.7 % of the patients showed a decrease of at least 25 % in AHI . Velopalatal insufficiency never occurred. CONCLUSION The modified-UPPP combined with coblation can be used selectively on patients based on their UA shapes.

Objective To investigate the effect of prostaglandin E: (PGE1) on recovery of early renal graft functions after transplantation. Methods One hundred and seven patients after renal transplantation were allocated in the treated group, and treated by conventional treatment with injection of 10 μg prostaglandin E1 additionally twice a day for 14 days. And eighty-eight patients who received conventional treatment alone after renal transplantation at the corresponding period were allocated in the control group. Indexes of the two groups, including incidence of delayed graft function and acute rejection reaction, volume of urine, serum certaintie (SCr), endogenous certainties clearance rate (CCr), the blood flow resistance in graft as well as blood viscosity (BV), and platelet aggregation rate (PAR), were determined. Results The urinary volume and endogenous certainties clearance rate of the treated group were significantly higher, but the level of SCr, incidence of renal function recovery retardation, BV, PAR and blood flow resistance in graft were significantly lower than these of the control group (P<0.05). The difference of incidence of acute rejection reaction between the two groups was insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusion Prostaglandin E1 can improve blood microcirculation and decrease the incidence of renal function recovery retardation. These effects are helpful for recovery of renal function after renal transplantation.
