Objective To investigate the effect of C4d deposition in peritubular capillary (PTC)in chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) on prognosis and intervention of renal transplantation recipients. Methods All the cases who received the renal graft biopsy due to diagnosis of CAN from January 2000 to August 2008, and had the 2-year follow-up data were included in the study. The clinical data were analyzed according to the C4d deposition in PTC. Results Among 86 cases 39 cases were C4d positive (C4d+ group) and the remaining 47 cases were negative (C4d group). There was no significant difference in sex, age, donor source, transplant times, time after biopsy, the panel reactive antibodies (PRA) level between two groups (P>0. 05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in serum creatinine (Scr) and 24 h urinary protein between two groups (P>0. 05). At the end of 2-year followed-up period, graft loss rate and urinary protein levels in C4d+group were significantly higher than in C4d- group (P<0. 05). Before intervention, the incidence of blood lipid disorder and hypertension was higher in C4d- group (P < 0. 05 ), but no significant difference was found in uric acid and blood sugar levels (P>0. 05). At the end of 2-year followed-up period, there was no significant difference in blood glucose, uric acid, blood pressure and lipid profile (eliminating renal lost cases) between two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion The patients with CAN and C4d+ means the involvement of chronic humoral rejection and have poor clinical results. Effective intervention against humoral immune response can improve renal allograft survival.

OBJECTIVETo explore causes of shoulder pain and propose prevention measures in treating acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
METHODSFrom January 2005 to January 2013, 86 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy III) were treated with hook plate fixation, and were divided into two groups. Bsaed on recovery of shoulder function mostly, the patients who suffered from rest pain, motion pain were named as shoulder pain group, while the patients without pain were named as painless group. In shoulder pain group, there were 21 cases including 15 males and and 6 females ranging the age from 22 to 62 years old with an average of (40.6±11.2) years old. There were 8 cases were on the left side and 13 cases were on the right side. In painless group, there were 65 cases including 36 males and and 29 females ranging the age from 19 to 65 years old with an average of (40.0±11.3) years old. There were 33 cases were on the left side and 32 cases were on the right side. The time from injury to operation ranged from 3 h to 8 d with an average of 34.6 h. Shoulder function of all patients were normal before injuried. Postoperative pain, activity of daily living (ADL), range of motion, deltoid muscle strength were compared. Anteflexion,rear protraction, abduction and upthrow of shoulder joint were also compared. Postoperative complications between two groups were observed and compared.
RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of 18.5 months. Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate clinical efficacy at the least following up, and 13 cases got an excellent results, 5 moderate, 2 good and 1 poor in shoulder pain group ; while 61 cases were obtained excellent results, 3 moderate and 1 good in painless group. There were significantly differences between two groups in Constant-Murley score and activity of shoulder joint (P<0.05). In shoulder pain group, 3 cases were disconnected, 1 case occurred stress fracture, 9 cases were subacromial impingement syndrome, 5 cases occurred subluxation, 1 case occurred plate breakage and 11 cases were acromioclavicular arthritis.
CONCLUSIONChosing individual clavicular hook plate, fulfilling anatomic reset, paying attention to the repair of articular capsule ligament, and reducing hook and bone antagonism between stress is the key point of preventing and decreasing postoperative shoulder pain.

Objective To build an antibody microarray based on direct labeling strategy for microalbnrninuria measurement, and evaluate it's technical potentiality for clinical application. Methods Urine samples of diabetic patients were collected. Antibody microarrays were constructed by preparation of array support, array fabrication, then protein assay and data analysis were performed. Procedure conditions for each step especially the labeling of samples were optimized. The set-ups were evaluated in terms of sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility. Urinary albumin excretion in the samples was detected by fabricated protein array, which was compared to that detected with immunoturbidimetry. Results The signal intensity was best when protein quality ratio of pure albumin or urine sample against NHS-biotin was 2:1. A calibration curve with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995 was established. The lower limit of detection was 0.0617 mg/L. Interehip and intrachip variation studies conducted on patient urine demonstrated CVs as 6.78%-9.22% and 3.35%-7.59%, respectively. Compared with the immunoturbidimetry, the antibody microarray was able to detect the extremely lower grade albumin in urine samples. The correlation coefficient of the results obtained by the two methods was 0.9199 (P <0.01). Conclusion An antibody microarray based on direct labeling strategy for microalbuminuria measurement is successfully established, which is comparable to immunoturbidimctry in its accuracy and will have great potential for clinical use with its high throughput, sensitivity, specifity and reproducibility.
