Objective To summarize the experiences of kidney retransplantation from 1978 to Dec. 2002.Methods The clinical data of 86 cases subject to first renal transplantation and 86 cases to second renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. The main causes of failure of the first renal transplantation were CAN, while those of the second renal transplantation were HAR, and other complications such as AR, graft rupture and serious graft T.B. PRA or CDC in 31 cases was positive before retransplantation. The clinical data such as antibody-inducing therapy, the protocols of immunosuppression and the survival rates of patients and grafts in these patients were analyzed.Results Survival rates at 1, 3, 5 year of the patient/graft of retransplantation group were 84.8 %/61.6 %, 79.1 %/45.3 % and 58.1 %/41.9 % respectively, while those at 1, 3, 5 years of the patient/graft with the first renal transplantation were 89.5 %/79.1 %, 81.4 %/74.4 % and 67.4 %/58.1 % respectively. No significant difference in the patient survival rates and graft survival rates was observed (P

Objective To investigate the technical features, postoperative complication and therapeutic regimen of immunosuppressant in pediatric and adolescent renal transplantation. Methods From February 1998 to December 2004, clinical data of 46 pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed to observe the patient and graft survival rate, growth and development of recipients and postoperative complication. Results Ten episodes of acute rejection (AR) were diagnosed in 46 cases. Four cases suffered delayed graft function (DGF), one urinary leakage and 8 drug-induced hepatic injury occurred. Eight cases suffered pulmonary infection, 3 cases suffered bone marrow depression and 2 granulocytopenia. One allograft artery stenosis and one ureteral necrosis occurred. Renal functions were returned to normal in all recipients 4 weeks after operation. The 1-year patient and graft survival rates were all 100 %, and the 3-year patient and graft survival rates were 100 % and 97.4 % respectively. Conclusions Renal transplantation is an effective treatment for pediatric and adolescent patients with end-stage renal disease. In addition to its higher AR incidence than adult, pediatric renal transplantation has especial treatment in the operation process and therapeutic regimen of immunosuppressant.

Objective To evaluate the effects of fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) on the preservation and high-energy phosphate metabolism of hypothermic SD rat hearts. Methods Sixteen SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups. Their hearts were harvested and preserved in UW solution at 4℃ for 12 hours. In the study group (n=8), FDP (5mmol/L) was added to the UW solution, whereas in the control group, FDP was not added. Langendorff perfusion was established with the isolated hearts, and cardiac functions were examined, as well as the activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) in the perfusion fluid collected from coronary. Then the high-energy phosphate concentration, ATP, ADP, and AMP contents in the myocardium were determined with HPLC. Results The high-energy phosphate concentration was remarkably higher in the study group than that in the control group (P

0.05).The acute rejection rates in non-dialysis group was significantly lower than that of dialysis group(19.53% vs 34.27%,P0.05).The 1 year survival rates of patient/graft were 98.44% in non-dialysis and(97.72%/)95.96% in dialysis group(no significance);the 3 year survival rates of patient/graft were 96.23% in nondialysis and(94.4%/88%) in dialysis group(no significance).Conclusion:Renal transplantation without dialysis can avoid the dialysis complications and transfusion-induced sensitization,and reduce the risk of hepatitis infection as well as the acute rejection rate;while its patient/graft survival rate is similar to that of dialysis renal transplantation,making it feasible for clinical application.

Objective:To modify Ganodermalucidum polysaccharides(GLP) with sulfate and observe the protective effect of Ganodermalucidum polysaccharide sulfate (GLPS) on the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in the rats,and to investigate its mechanism.Methods:GLP was modified by sulfation to obtain GLPS.A total of 100 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, GLP group (40 mg·kg-1·d-1), GLPS group (40 mg·kg-1·d-1) and nimodipine group (1 mg·kg-1·d-1).The cerebral ischemia reperfusion models were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion method in the rats.The neurologic deficit score and the content of water in brain tissue of the rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury were detected and the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected.The levels of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the brain tissue homogenate were detected by ELISA.Western blotting method was used to detect the protein expression levels of HSP70 and p-Akt in the brain tissue of the rats.Results:Compared with model group, the neurological function scores of the rats in GLP group and GLPS group were decreased(P<0.01),the water contents in brain tissue were decreased(P<0.05), the SOD activities were increased and the MDA levels were decreased(P<0.05), and the levels of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6 were decreased(P<0.05);the effect in GLPS group was significantly better than that in GLP group(P<0.05).The results of Western blotting method showed that the p-Akt protein expression levels in the brain tissue of the rats in GLP and GLPS groups were increased compared with model group (P<0.05);compared with model group, the HSP-70 protein expression level in the brain tissue of the rats in GLPS group was increased(P<0.01),but the effect in GLP group was not obvious.Conclusion:Sulfation can significantly improve the protective effect of GLP on the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in the rats and its mechanism may be related to regulating the HSP70/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting the inflammatory reaction damage to the nerve cells of reperfusion.

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived stem cels under osteogenic induction can be combined with biodegradable silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold, which is expected to develop a new biocompatible and osteogenic bone fusion material. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite composite on the viability and osteogenic properties of adipose-derived stem cels after osteogenic induction. METHODS:Adipose-derived stem cels were obtained from rat’s fat tissue, then adherently cultured, proliferated and passaged in vitro. Passage 3 cels were cultured in conditioned medium for osteogenic induction, and then seeded onto silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold as experimental group. Adipose-derived stem cels cultured on the cover glasses at the same condition acted as control group. The celular morphology, proliferation and differentiation were assessed respectively by means of phase contrast microscope, MTT assay and alkaline phosphatase activity measurement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After osteogenic induction, adipose-derived stem cels could adhere to the scaffold material and proliferate on the surface of silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite scaffold normaly. No significant difference was found in cel proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity between the experimental and control groups (P > 0.05), suggesting the celular activity and function were not affected by the material. These findings indicate that silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite composite material has good cytocompatibility.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules among residents of Ningbo City and to explore the risk factors for thyroid nodules.Methods Totally 3 596 residents aged 6-70 were selected by multistage stratified cluster random sampling in Ningbo City,2011.Thyroid ultrasound examination was performed in all participants,while salt iodine and urinary iodine were measured.Possible risk factors for thyroid nodules were analyzed by single factor and multi-factor logistic regression.Results The prevalence rate of thyroid nodules in residents of Ningbo City was 22.66% (815/3 596),with standardized prevalence rate of 17.69%.Female [(odds ratio (OR) =2.06,95% confidence interval (CI) =1.74-2.43],groups of aged 18-(OR =3.42,95% CI =1.22-9.61),aged 40-(OR =13.06,95% CI =4.80-35.51),aged 65-(OR =16.67,95% CI =5.97-46.54) and occasional consumption of seafood habits (less than twice per week,OR =1.23,95% CI =1.02-1.49) were significant associated with thyroid nodules.Conclusions There is no link Letween iodine nutrition and thyroid nodules.It is demonstrated that female and aged ≥ 18 groups have higher risk of thyroid nodules; frequent consumption of seafood seems to be a protective factor.
