Objective To investigate the risk factor for new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) and the relationship between NODAT and arterial stiffness. Methods Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed on 195 patients with renal transplantation. The degree of arterial stiffness, which was determined by brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), anklebrachial blood pressure index (ABPI) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery, was evaluated. Results Twenty-nine patients diagnosed as NODAT had significantly higher fasting plasma glucose before transplantation, blood pressure and incidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection than in patients without NODAT. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the risk factor of NODAT was fasting plasma glucose pre-transplantation, HCV infection and systolic blood pressure.The independent determinant of the advanced arterial stiffness on NODAT was the statement of hypertension and age. Conclusions High fasting plasma glucose prior to transplantation, HCV infection and high blood pressure are risk factors for NODAT in patients after renal transplantation.Strict control of blood pressure is the key way to prevent the NODAT and atherosclerosis.

Objective To study the early clinical outcome of patients undergone minimally invasive direct coronary bypass(MIDCAB) surgery,and the mid-term patency of left internal mammary artery(LIMA)-left anterior descending(LAD) anastomosis.Methods From Jannuary 2007 to May 2014,47 cases underwent MIDCAB surgery in our department,with 35 males and 12 females,aged 48-76 years,with the average of (62.9 ± 8.1) years old.Types of LAD lesions were as followed:1 case was ostial total obstruction,28 severe stenosis at proximal segment,10 long and severe stenosis,3 calcified lesion with severe stenosis,5 myocardial bridge.All patients had symptomatic angina,typical myocardial ischemia could be detected by electrocardiogram for all patients with myocardial bridge.Comorbidities included:hypertension 38 cases,27 diabetes mellitus,3 COPD and 3 chronic kidney disease.Results All surgery went well without transfer to mid-sternotomy.LIMA harvest time was 38-53 minutes,mean LIMA flow rate was(22 ± 6) ml/min after anastomosis.Surgery duration was 117-143 minutes,blood loss was less than 100 ml for each operation.No blood transfusion was required.Tracheal intubation time was 4-16 hours,ICU stay time was 22-45 hours,hospital stay time was 6-10 days.There was no peri-operative death,either no myocardial infarction or cerebral vessel accident.During follow-up,all LIMA-LAD appeared to be patent by coronary CT angiography.Conclusion High patency rate of LIMA-LAD anastomosis could also be obtained during MIDCAB surgery.It was reserved as a safe and effective surgery for well-selected patients.

Objective To explore the effect of MICA-Ab expression on the prognosis of sensitized renal transplantation recipients.Methods A total of 51 sensitized recipients (PRA more than 20%) in our hospital from August 2007 to April 2010 were enrolled in the study.In these patients,29 cases received protein A immunoadsorption and detection of MICA-Ab was performed before and after protein A immunoadsorption.Other 22 patients received MICA-Ab detection when they were hospitalized.Associations of PRA,HLA-matches,acute rejection,and serum creatinine of postoperative week 1 and week 4 with MICA-Ab were analyzed retrospectively.Results Sixteen recipients (31.4%) had positive MICA-Ab expression but their acute rejection rate was not higher as compared to the patients with negative MICA-Ab expression.Recipients with PRA＞40% showed higher expression level of MICA-Ab than recipients with PRA≤40% (P≤0.05).HLA-match did not show influence on MICA-Ab expression.MICA-Ab positive group had no higher serum creatinine level than negative group in postoperative week 4.MICA-Ab level decreased significantly after protein A immunoadsorption.Conclusions MICA-Ab expression increases in the sensitive recipients but does not influence the prognosis.Protein Aimmunoadsorption can eliminate MICA-Ab effectively in sensitized recipients.

Objective To explore the expression of anti-MICA antibodies and evaluate its influence on acute rejection and renal function in early period after renal transplantation. Methods A total of 29 sensitized subjects (PRA＞20 %) were enrolled in this study. All the patients underwent protein A immunoabsorption treatment and the expression of anti-MICA antibodies was detected before and after treatment. Triple immunosuppressive regimen consisting of tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroid was given to prevent graft rejection. The correlation between the expression of anti-MICA antibodies and acute rejection or serum creatinine (SCr) level was analyzed.Results The expression of anti-MICA antibodies was detected in 8 candidates (27. 6 % ,8/29) ,and 6 kinds of anti-MICA antibodies simultaneously expressed were found in one individual, 3 kinds in one case,and sole kind in 6 patients. There was no significant difference in acute rejection rate between positive anti-MICA antibodies group and negative group [37.5 % (3/8) vs 38. 1% (8/21), P＞0.05). The positive expression rate of anti-MICA antibodies in the recipients with PRA ≥40% was higher than that in those with PRA ＜40% [43. 8 % (7/16) vs 7. 7 % (1/13),P＜0.05]. The SCr level in patients positive for anti-MICA antibodies was markedly higher than that in those negative anti-MICA antibodies at the 1st week postoperatively ( 135.4 ± 21.4 vs 108. 6 -+ 31.6 μmol/L, P＜0.05). The SCr level in the patients with positive anti-MICA antibodies, however, was reduced to the normal range at the 2nd week after surgery (P＞0.05). The levels of anti-MICA antibodies were continuously decreased in the candidates undergoing protein A irnmunoadsorption treatment. Conclusion Higher expression of anti-MICA antibodies exists in sensitized recipients and possesses an influence on the recovery of renal function in early postoperative period. Protein A immunoadsorption can eliminate anti-MICA antibodies effectively in sensitized recipients.

Objective To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on learning and memory ability and on the level of myelin basic protein (MBP) in the brain tissue of rats with delayed neurological sequelae (DNS) after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (COP).Methods Forty-eight male SD rats had their cognitive performance assessed with the Morris water maze.After basic training with the Morris water maze and screening,the rats were randomly divided intoanormalcontrol (NC) group (n=11),a COP group (n=17) and an HBO group (n=17).Pure CO gas was injected intraperitoneally to establish acute COP in the latter two groups.The NC group received a similar injection of air.The HBO group was given HBO therapy.The rats in each group were tested for changes in their learning and memory abilities using the Morris water maze.On the 21 st day after the treatment,paraffin tissue sections of the rats' brains were subjected to immunohistochemical (IHC) examination and Western blotting (WB) was used to detect any expression of MBP in the brain tissue.Results After 21 days,morbidity among the COP group was 64.3％,while it was 26.7％ in the HBO group,a significant difference.The average maze escape latency in the COP group was significantly longer than in the HBO group.IHC staining and Western blotting showed that MBP in the hippocampal tissue of the COP group was significantly lower than that in the HBO group.In gray scale comparisons of the rats' brain tissue,that from the NC group was significantly better than that from the COP and HBO groups,but that from the HBO group was significantly better than that from the COP group.Conclusion HBO can effectively reduce DNS after acute COP,mitigate the severity of DNS,reduce demyelination of brain tissue and thus play an important role in protecting brain cells.

Objective To determine whether the poking reduction and bone grafting technique with guide through bony tunnel can correct a Hill-Sachs lesion. Methods A total of 30 cadaveric humeri were equally divided into three groups, 10 cadaveric humeri per group. Hill-Sachs lesions were replicated with a osseous defect involving 10% (group A ) , 20% (group B ) and 30% (group C ) of the articular surface. All the bone defects in each group were measured and the poking reduction and bone grafting technique with guide through a bony tunnel was performed in group B and group C. The preoperative and postoperative transverse arc length, longitudinal are length, depth and volume of the osseous defects in group B and group C were compared by using paired t test. Results Before reduction, the transverse arc length of the bone defects was ( 10.9 ± 1.4 )mm in group B and ( 16.3 ± 2.3 ) mm in group C ; longitudinal arc length was ( 22.4 ± 2.4 ) mm in group B and ( 28.0 ± 2.2 ) mm in group C ;depth was (6.9±0.9) mm in group B and (11. 1 ±0.9) mm in group C; volume was (708.7±93.9) mm3 in group B and (1338.3 ± 185.6) mm3 in group C. After reduction, the transverse arc length of the bone defects was (5.1 ± 2.4 ) mm in group B and ( 7.6 ± 3.6 ) mm in group C ; longitudinal arc lengthwas (10.5 ±4.9) mm in group B and (12.3 ±5.3) mm in group C; depth was (0.3±0.1 ) mm in group B and (0.4 ±0.1 ) mm in group C; volume was (48.9 ± 16.1 )mm3 in group B and (70.3 ± 37.9) mm3 in group C. The comparison of all the parameters showed statistical difference (P <0. 01 ). Conclusion The poking reduction and bone grafting technique with guide through a bony tunnel can effectively correct the Hill-Sachs lesions with humeral head osseous defects involving 20% -30% of the articular surface.
