BACKGROUND: The renal transplanted recipients were in poor immunosuppressive state. Compared to common person, the bladder transitional carcinoma in recipients was aggressive and easy to recurrence. Looking for a more effective therapy method to decrease the recurrence of recipients' bladder transitional carcinoma is the hot and difficult problem in clinical study.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy and safety of submucosal injection epirubicin following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) to treat the recurrence of bladder transitional cell carcinoma in renal transplantation recipients.METHODS: Totally 9 renal transplantation recipients with transitional cell carcinoma of bladder were retrospectively studied. The patients' periods without cancer, the frequency of recurrence within one year, the rates of side effect, the changes of tumor grading following recurrence and allograff function were recorded when the routine method and submucosal injection epirubicin following TUR-Bt were used in different period respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Submucosal injection epirubicin following transurethral resection of bladder tumor was safe and effective to treat bladder transitional cell carcinoma recurrence in renal transplantation recipients. Compared to the routine perfusion, periods without cancer and the frequency of recurrence within 1 year were significantly decreased, which can elevate recipients life quality and long-term survival rates.

BACKGROUND: Smad7 is a major repressible protein in transforming growth factor β(TGF-β1) signal transduction pathway,which possess antifibrotic effects.OBJECTIVE: To construct rat Smad7 eukaryotic vector and to observe the mRNA expression level of TGF-β1, collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC)-T6 cell.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The gene recombination and cytology observation experiment was performed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine.MATERIALS: pcDNA3.1 (+) plasmid was reserved in the laboratory. E coil DH5α was presented by Key Laboratory of Xinjiang Endemic and Ethnic Diseases, Shihezi University School of Medicine. The HSC T6 cell was provided by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.METHODS: Rat Smad7 cDNA was cloned into eukaryotic plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) to construct Smad7/pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid and transfected it into HSC-T6 ceils by Lipofectmine 2000. The experiment was divided into normal control, empty vector and Smad7 transfected groups, and the positive cells were selected by G418.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The levels of Smad7, TGF-β1, collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ mRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, respectively.RESULTS: Smad7 eukaryotic vector was successfully constructed and confirmed by endonuilease digestion and sequencing. Compared to the control and empty vector groups, Smad7 mRNA expression was significantly higher in Smad7 transfected group (P < 0.01 ); and TGF-β1 and collagen Ⅰ mRNA expression was notably reduced (P < 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference of the change of collagen Ⅲ mRNA expression among the three groups (P>0.05). The difference of Smad7, TGF-β1,collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ mRNA expression had no statistically significant between control and empty vector groups (P_(all) > 0.05)CONCLUSION: Smad7 eukaryotic expression vector is successfully constructed. The Smad7 gene can effectively expressed in transfected HSC-T6 cell, and decrease mRNA expressions of TGF-β1 and collagen Ⅰ.

Objective To compare differential diagnostic value of narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy.Methods A total of 92 lesions from 75 patients were examined with conventional colonoscopy,NBI magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy to evaluate pit patterns and vascular morphology patterns.Endoscopic findings were compared with the pathological results.Results The detection rate of conventional endoscopy,NBI magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy were 94.6% (87/92),97.8% (90/92) and 100.0% (92/92),respectively.NBI magnifying endoscopy was superior to the magnifying chromoendoscopy (P =0.000) in the the lesion contour and microvessels pattern detection,but there was no difference in the pit patterns detected with the two techniques (P =0.394).Consistency,sensitivity,and specificity of NBI magnifying endoscopy in diagnosis of colorectal neoplastic lesions were 91.3% (84/92),83.9% (26/31),95.1% (58/61),respectively,while these variables of magnifying chromoendoscopy were 89.1% (82/92),80.6% (25/31),93.4%(57/61),which were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).Conclusion Differential diagnostic value of NBI magnifying endoscopy and magnifying chromoendoscopy for colorectal neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions was similar,but NBI magnifying endoscopy displays the lesion contours and microvessels clearlier,and is easy to manipulate.

Objective To investigate the relationships between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule 1(ICAM-1),heat shock protein 70(HSP70) and acute rejection after pancreas allotransplantation in miniature swine.Methods Ultrasound guided biopsies of the pancreas and histopathologic examination were performed after the miniature swine models of pancreas allotransplantation were established.According to the histological change,the samples were divided into group Ⅰ(no rejection),group Ⅱ(mild acute rejection),group Ⅲ(moderate acute rejection)and group Ⅳ(serious acute rejection).The expressions of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were analyzed with immunohistochemistry and imaging.Results The expressions of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were increased when acute rejection occurred after pancreas allotransplantation in miniature swine.The levels of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were sequentially high when acute rejection was serious.Conclusion ICAM-1 and HSP70 were involved in pancreas allograft rejection and useful for early diagnosis of acute rejection after pancreas transplantation.
