BACKGROUND:Wide variation between individuals leads to instability of drug concentration that stil troubles transplant recipients. Therefore, individual therapy has always been a hot topic folowing transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in the genomics and gene polymorphism of the main categories of immunosuppressive drugs after kidney transplantation. METHODS:A computer-based search of Wanfang and PubMed databases was used to retrieve relevant articles published from January 2005 to August 2014. The keywords were “renal transplantation; immunosuppressant drugs; polymorphism; individual treatment” in Chinese and English, respectively. Finaly, 50 articles related to genomics and gene polymorphisms of immunosuppressive drugs after kidney transplantation were enroled in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Immunosuppressant drugs have been widely used among renal transplant recipients to decrease post-renal transplantation rejection rate and greatly improve the survival rate of renal transplant recipients. Because of its certain side effects and wide variation between individuals, therapeutic drug monitoring should be employed routinely after transplantation to keep blood levels within the therapeutic range. This monitor system is effective to avoid post-renal transplantation rejections and drug side effects to a certain extent. Research on the relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and genetic factors which combined with therapeutic drug monitoring provides possibility to give specific doses that wil improve efficacy while decrease side effects of immunosuppressive drugs, thereby further improving the long-term graft survival rate.

Objective Changes of small intestine villus microcirculation perfusion in sidestream dark-field (SDF) imaging in the rabbits during endotoxic shock after fluid resuscitation with different target mean arterial pressure (MAP), and evaluation of feasibility of monitoring small intestine villus microcirculation by SDF were studied. Methods Sixty standard New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: low target MAP group (group A, n = 30) and high target MAP group (group B,n = 30). Fistula operation of ileum was madein vitro, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 2 mg/kg) was injected to establish endotoxic shock model. Group A was administered with the lower dose fluid resuscitation (lactated Ringer solution, 20 mL·kg-1·h-1) for target MAP of 65 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa); group B was administered with the higher dose fluid resuscitation (lactated Ringer solution, 30 mL·kg-1·h-1) for MAP of 80 mmHg. Continuous norepinephrine intravenous injection (0.5-1.0μg·kg-1·min-1) was administered only after fluid therapy couldn't reach the target MAP. The changes of small intestine villus microcirculation perfusion indexes such as vessels per villus (VV), proportion of perfused villi (PPV), microvascular flow index (MFI), borders of villus score (BVS), vessels villus score (VVS) were continuously observed and recorded before the shock, during the shock and after fluid resuscitation using SDF imaging. The differences of microcirculation perfusion were compared between two groups using the specific parameter evaluation system to determine severity of villi microcirculation and injury scores at different stages.Results VV and borders of villus were clear and contact before shock in two groups. After shock, VV, PPV were significantly decreased in both two groups, the borders of villus were destroyed, MFI, BVS, VVS and the total score of villi injury microcirculation were obviously and severely decreased. Partial blood flow of villous capillaries after fluid resuscitation was recovered in two groups, but the perfusion of some region was un-balanced with the outworn borders of villus. VV were rose as compared before and after fluid resuscitation in groups A and B (vessels: 1.21±0.22 vs. 0.81±0.12, 1.54±0.28 vs. 0.79±0.13), and PPV [(31±4)% vs. (12±2)%, (38±5)% vs. (13±3)%], MFI (1.55±0.09 vs. 1.09±0.03, 1.97±0.11 vs. 1.05±0.03), VVS (points: 1.22±0.08 vs. 0.89±0.02, 2.06±0.15 vs. 0.90±0.02) and the sum of MFI, BVS, VVS (3.70±0.19 vs. 2.85±0.07, 5.01±0.29 vs. 2.88±0.08) were significant rose (allP< 0.05). The recovery of group B was better than that of group A, and the injury score was reduced. But BVS were not increased in both groups compared with before and after shock (points: 0.93±0.05 vs. 0.87±0.03, 0.98±0.09 vs. 0.93±0.05, bothP > 0.05).Conclusions For the small intestine villus microcirculation perfusion, the higher target MAP (80 mmHg) after fluid resuscitation or/and vasoconstrictor drugs usage were probably better than the relatively lower target MAP (65 mmHg) during endotoxic shock. SDF imaging is a very promising technique for intestinal villi microcirculatory visualization and assessment.

Objective To discuss the serum value of human epididymis protein 4(HE4) in the diagnosis of lung can-cer and to analyse the serum levels of HE4 in different pathological types and TNM staging of lung cancer patients. Meth-ods Forty-seven patients with lung cancer and thirty-one healthy controls were selected to join this study. According to various pathological types and TNM staging, the selected lung cancer patients were divided into different subgroups under the two categories. The serum HE4 levels were compared between subgroups. ROC curves of serum HE4 level and serum CEA level were drawn for the diagnosis of lung cancer with the pathological diagnosis as the golden standard. Results There was significantly higher level of serum HE4 in lung cancer group[(253.47±170.03) pmol/L] than that of healthy group [(84.09±51.03) pmol/L](t=5.365). There were no significant differences in serum levels of HE4 between different pathological subgroups of lung cancer patients [non-small cell carcinoma group (241.34±161.81) pmol/L vs small cell carcinoma group (293.5±198.76) pmol/L, t=0.847;squamous cell carcinoma group (304.29±287.61) pmol/L, adenocarcinoma group (224.39± 122.15) pmol/L and small cell carcinoma group F=0.969;and different TNM staging subgroups [ (stageⅠ~Ⅲgroup (255.27± 183.04) pmol/L vs stageⅣgroup (288.16±216.49) pmol/L, t=0.528]. Compared with ROC curves of serum HE4 and serum CEA,the area under the curve (AUC) of serum HE4 (0.902) was larger than that of serum CEA(0.765),( P>0.001). When the serum level of HE4 was 149.145 pmol/L, the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of lung cancer were 72.3% and 90.3%. When the serum level of CEA was 4.685μg/L, the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of lung cancer were 57.4%and 83.9%. Conclusion The serum level of HE4 is a sensitive and specific tumor marker in lung cancer. There are no significant differences in the serum levels of HE4 between different pathological types and different TNM staging in lung cancer patients. The detection of serum levels of HE4 are useful for the diagnosis of lung cancer.

BACKGROUND:Foreign studies have found that the magnesium alloy stent is safe and effective, but there are few studies on the degradation performance of magnesium alloy stents in China.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the degradation of degradable AZ31 magnesium alloy stent in the rabbit abdominal aorta and the effect of degradation process on vascularization.METHODS:Twenty-eight rabbits were enrolled, and the degradable AZ31 magnesium alloy stent was implanted into the rabbit abdominal aorta. Postoperative abdominal aortic X-ray examination and histological observation were done at 30, 60, 90, 120 days after implantation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) X-ray examination: 30 days after implantation, the stent expanded completely with structural integrity; 60 days after implantation, the stent deformation, partial stent fracture, and lose of support were found; 90 days after implantation, only a small amount of support rod residues were found, and the majority of the stent was degraded; and 120 days after implantation, there was no support rod residual, and the stent was degraded completely. (2) Histological observation: 60 days after implantation, the number of residual support rods was less than that 30 days after implantation (P< 0.05), the number value at 90 days after implantation was lower than that at 30 and 60 days after implantation (P< 0.05), and the number value at 120 days after implantation was lower than that at 30, 60, 90 days after implantation (P < 0.05), indicating that the number of residual support rods was negatively correlated with post-implantation days. The time for complete stent degradation was 124.8 days. The intimal area at 90 days after implantation was higher than that at 30, 60, 120 days after implantation (P < 0.05), while the lumen area was smaler than that at 30, 60, 120 days after implantation (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the intimal area and lumen area at latter three time points after implantation. To conclude, the degradation of the degradable AZ31 magnesium alloy stent in the rabbit abdominal aorta can be completed within 124.8 days, and at 90 days after the stent is implanted, vascular intimal hyperplasia and lumen stenosis are most serious, and then gradualy reduced.
