Objective To study the effects of intra-bone marrow injection of donor bone marrow cells in combination with low dose radiation on the immunologic reaction of composite tissue allotransplantation.Methods The inbred SD rats were chosen as donors and inbred Wistar rats as recipients. Overall 40 recipients were classified into 4 groups randomly after allogeneic leg transplantation: group A received transplantation only; group B irradiation in the sublethal level (4.5 Gy?2 at a 4-h interval) and fludarabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.); group C, bone marrow cells were directly injected into the intra-bone marrow cavity of the recipients; group D, using a combination of the injection of fludarabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.), irradiation (4.5 Gy?2, at a 4-h interval) and injection of donor bone marrow cells. The rejection of grafts was observed. 120 days after induction of tolerance the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MIR) and skin grafting were examined to confirm tolerance status. To determine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), rats in tolerance status were also histologically examined. Results As compared with other groups, mean rejection time and mean survival time of limb allografts were prolonged obviously in group D. Donor-specific tolerance was confirmed in all limb allograft recipients in group D by skin grafting and by MLR, and no signs of GVHD were also histologically examined. Conclusion Using a combination of injection of fludarabine, irradiation in the sublethal level and donor bone marrow cells, we have induced donor-specific immunological tolerance in allogeneic limb transplantation in rats without using any immnosuppressants after the operation.

Objective To improve the understanding of severe anaphylactic reactions to infliximab retreatment. Methods Delayed hypersensitivity to infliximab in two patients with ankylosing spondylitis who had previously received infliximab and resumed after discontinuation over 4 years were reported and the related literatures were reviewed. Results Two patients ( 1 male, 1 female ) who were diagnosised with ankylosing spondylitis for more than 10 years, both individuals had received infliximab treatment during a clinical trial approximately 4-5 years prior to further therapy. On day 6 after subsequent infusion, one patient had pruritic skin rash covering her whole body, followed by flustered, dyspnea, hypotension and anaphylactic shock, she was successfully treated with epinephrine and glucocorticoid. Another patient experienced a skin rash and itching 9 days after reinfusion, he was successfully treated with antihistaminics.Conclusion A distant infliximab retreatment is associated with high rates of reinfusion reactions, including fever, urticaria, myalgia, arthralgia,even hypotension, dyspnea, laryngeal edema and anaphylactic shock.We recommend careful monitoring of those patients who receive infliximab retreatment, particularly after a lengthy interval.

Objective To summarize the experience of clinical diagnosis and treatment for recurrence and progress of relieved myastbenia gravis after thymectomy. Methods 22 recurrent and progressive after relieved pa-tients with myasthenia gravis who underwent thymectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The remission therapy was conducted with combined glucocorticoid and anticholinesterase and its effectiveness was estimated. Results It was 1,17,4 as better Osserman scale Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ respectively before operation but 15,6,1 as better Osserman scale Ⅱ , Ⅲ, Ⅳ respectively in recurrence and progress of relieved myasthenia gravis after thymectomy besides 6 with myas-thenic crisis. Complete remission and partial remission were gained in 9 patients and 12 patients respectively. There was 1 hospital-death. Conclusions Recurrence and progress can occur in any patient of relieved myasthenia gravis after thymectomy. Bulbar myasthenia gravis is usually presented as dysphagia. Reasonable administration of glucocor-tieoid could improve majority of recurrence and progress of relieved myasthenia gravis after thymectomy but responses poorly to the anticholinesterases.
