2 folds) in highly sensitized patients. Among these genes, some were related with immune, cell division, cell apoptosis and cell proliferation, signal transduction, etc., and others were undefined. Conclusion:Many various genes are involved in the pathogenesis of high sensitization. cDNA microarray technology is useful for screening differentially expressed genes of lymphocytes and sensitization-associated genes.

%85, entered into the high sensitive group (30 cases), and the patients with negative PRA into control group. The fresh blood was collected, and PBMCs was collected by Ficoll method. Total RNA were extracted by one-step technique and purified. The total RNA in high sensitive group were labeled with Cy5-dUTP, and control group with Cy3-dUTP, then the cDNA probe was labeled by reverse transcript way. High throughout gene chip ((16 920)) was hybrided and scanned. Cy3/Cy5 image files were copied. Then fluorescent signal value of gene expressing was obtained, and differential expression genes were sifted. RESULTS: Among the differential expression 877 genes, there were up-regulated 88 genes and down- regulated 789 genes. The mechanism of high sensitive status in human immune system was analyzed by some function-known genes which coded NY-REN-55 antigen, CD100, defender against cell death 1, breast cancer resistance protein, transcriptional repressor, death domain containing protein, cyclophilin-33A, rapamycin-binding protein, heat shock protein 40, interferon-alpha receptor and STAT inhibitor-2. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of PBMCs in high sensitive status of human immune system in patients with uremia may be associated with recognition of auto-antigen,signal conduction, aggregation and differentiation of B lymphocyte, anti-apoptosis and resistance of immunosuppressant.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational utilization of narcotic drugs in cancer pain patients. METH-ODS:In retrospective survey,2275 prescriptions of narcotic drugs for cancer pain patients in outpatient and emergency depart-ment of our hospital during 2014-2016 were analyzed statistically in respects of general information,drug amount,consumption sum and DDDs,etc. RESULTS:The proportion of male patients and female patients with cancer pain in our hospital were 65.63%and 34.37% within 3 years,mainly aged 21-90. The consumption amount and sum of narcotic drugs in our hospital increased year by year. Dosage forms were mainly tablet. The consumption amount,sum and DDDs of Morphine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets took up the first places among narcotic drugs. And those of Pethidine hydrochloride injection were the lowest. CONCLU-SIONS:The utilization of narcotic drugs is rational in outpatient and emergency department of our hospital on the whole. Morphine preparations are the predominant analgesic drugs for patients with cancer pain.

BACKGROUND: Jaw defects are common clinically. It is desirable to find ideal seed cells combined with scaffolds to construct tissue engineered jaws for curing these diseases. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the growth characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene after seeded on coral scaffold in vitro. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An experimental study of bone tissue engineering was performed in the Research Institute of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University between March 2006 and June 2008. MATERIALS: Natural coral from China Hainan bench was made into pieces of 8 mm×8 mm×2 mm. METHODS: BMSCs were isolated from New England rabbits by density gradient centrifugation and then purified by adherent separation. bFGF-pcDNA3 gene was transfected into BMSCs using Lipofectamine TM 2000. bFGF gene-transfected (transfected group) or untransfected (untransfected group)BMSCs were seeded on different coral scaffolds. In addition, bFGF gene-transfected BMSCs were simply cultured but not on the coral scaffold for control (simple culture group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BMSC proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and BMSC growth on coral scaffold was observed under the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: MTT assay showed that the BMSC proliferation rate was significantly higher in the transfected group than in the untransfected group (P < 0.05) and that there was no significant difference in BMSC proliferation between the transfected and simple culture groups (P > 0.05). Scanning electron microscope results displayed that BMSCs adhered to and spread over the coral scaffold, exhibiting various appearances, with some cells had grown into scaffold micropores or spanned micropore surface, and some extracellular matrix secreted by BMSCs were found. CONCLUSION: The transfected group exhibited better growth of BMSCs transfected by bFGF gene than the untransfected group. These findings indicate that coral skeleton does not influence BMSC proliferation and can be used as a scaffold of BMSCs to construct tissue-engineered bone.

BACKGROUND:Fol ow-up researches have shown that there is no statistical y difference in safety between kidney donor and healthy person after kidney transplantation, even the donors wil have better life quality. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety of living-related kidney transplantation in living kidney donors. METHODS:Ninety-four cases of kidney donors received 1-10 years fol ow-up through regular clinical fol ow-up, telephone fol ow-up and regular renal patients self-help groups to compare the changes of serum creatinine, hematuria, proteinuria and blood pressure and lipid level in the donors before and after kidney transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The serum creatinine was significantly increased after nephrectomy (P<0.01), but al the donors had normal serum creatinine levels and remained stable. There was no significant difference in serum creatinine level between the latest fol ow-up and discharge (P>0.05). After nephrectomy, three cases (3.2%) suffered from hematuria, two cases (2.1%) had proteinuria, and improved after rest;six cases (6.4%) were subject to hypertension and six cases (6.4%) to hyperlipidemia. Al of the donors were alive. The living donor nephrectomy is feasible and safe. Preoperative assessment and long-term postoperative fol ow-up can guarantee the safety of the donors.

Objective: To investigate the effect of intravenous immunoglobulin in highly sensitized patients awaiting organ transplantation. Methods: IVIG was used to reduce donor specific anti HLA alloantibodies in vitro and in vivo . Fifteen patients received IVIG′s suppressive experiment in vitro by random panel lymphocytotoxicity test. The serum of patients were divided into 2 groups: one was diluted with equal volume of IVIG and the other was diluted with PBS solution, and then reacted with lymphocytes from healthy donors randomly. Of them 5 patients received the treatment by IVIG. Four patients were administrated with 0.5 g/kg. Period of treatment was 4 weeks. One patient received 8 weeks infusion in same dose, 2 patients resulted in PRA drop to 10% had received kidney and pancreas kidney transplantation. Results: The percentage of RPLT in experimental group was lower than that in control group. After large dose of infusion of IVIG, the patients showed a reduction in absolute PRA of 2% 51% (mean decrease: 23%). Two patients had undergone subsequent transplantation and no serious rejection occurred. Conclusion: Treatment with IVIG is a valuable tool for the transplantation of immunized patients. The effect of IVIG is dose dependent and can be achieved in 3 weeks.
