Objective To investigate the relationship between the appearance of donor cells in urine and acute rejection and the clinical implication. Methods Eighty renal transplantation patients were observed, in which the donors were male and the recipients were female, or HLA DR antigen were mismatched (30 cases were at perioperative period, 20 cases were subjected to acute rejection, 30 cases had stable renal function). Urine samples were collected regularly. PCR and PCR SSP were applied to detect DYZ 1 (special gene fragment of Y chromosome) and DRB 1of HLA DR antigen respectively after DNA were obtained.Results Perioperative period group: donor cells in urine were detected in all the patients 24?h after operation. With the development of disease, the intensity of donor DNA expression in urine was decreased generally. 30 days later, donor cells in urine disappeared only in 3 cases of 30 cases, and acute rejection happened in 8 cases of the rest 27 cases. Acute rejection group: donor cells in urine were detected in 18 cases (90%); 2 weeks following anti rejection therapy, donor cells in urine were negative only in 3 cases, still positive in the other 15 cases, and the intensity of donor DNA expression in urine was decreased generally during the treatment. Donor cells in urine were negative in 16 cases ( 88.9% ) after treatment for 3 months. Stable renal function group: DYZ 1 or HLA DRB1 was positive in 2 cases ( 6.7% ), negative in 28 cases ( 93.3% ). Conclusion PCR and PCR SSP were used to detect DNA of donor cells in urine, which would be a new method to diagnose acute rejection of renal transplantation, but would not exactly fit for those happened in early stage. The intensity change of donor DNA expression in urine represented the recovery of renal transplantation, which provided the possibility to evaluate renal allograft rejection quantitatively at the same time.

Objective To identify the outcome of pregnancy and the alteration of renal function in women with nephrotic syndrome. Methods From 2003 to 2007, 59 pregnant women with nephrotic syndrome in our hospital were enrolled in the study. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed, including the time of kidney disease onset, 24-hour proteinuria, serum albumin, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, blood pressure, fetal survival, fetal mortality, rate of premature delivery, birth weight of the newborn, and proteinuria, renal function, blood pressure of the patients during their postpartum follow-up. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors influencing the outcome of the patients and the newborns. Results The average gestational week was (20.35±9.40) weeks when proteinuria was detected in these pregnant women. The 24-hour proteinuria ranged from 3.5 to 15 g/24 h (median 5.1 g/24 h). The serum albumin was between 10 and 28 g/L (median 22.5 g/L). The serum creatinine was between 32 and 825 μmol/L (median 84 μmol/L) and the serum uric acid ranged from 196 to 793 μmol/L (median 385.5 μmol/L). Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome occurred in 75% of the patients, among whom 55.5% suffered from preeclampsia. Forty-three (72.9%) newborns survived , among whom 76.7% (33/43) were premature births and 62.8% (27/43) were low birth weight infants. 50% of the pregnant women still had nephrotic syndrome after delivery. 75% of 24 patients with pre-existing chronic glomerulonephritis had increased proteinuria during pregnancy. Among the 38 patients with renal insufficiency, 36.8% had poorer renal function after delivery. 23.7% of the patients progressed into end stage renal failure after delivery, 80% of whom had serum creatinine ≥ 265 μmol/L. 89% of the patients had persistent hypertension after childbirth. The Logistic regression analysis indicated hyperuricemia during pregnancy (P=0.018, OR=1.012) and the increase of serum creatinine (P=0.039, OR=1.005) were risk factors of renal failure in pregnant women after delivery. Hyperuricemia (P=0.012, OR=1.006)was the risk factor of fetal death. Conclusions Pregnancy with nephrotic syndrome leads to a low fetal survival. Hyperuricemia is the most important risk factor of the poor outcome of pregnant women and newborn.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of delayed skin grafting combined traction in severe joint cicatricial contracture.
METHODSAt the first stage, the joint cicatricial contracture was released completely with protection of vessels, nerves and tendons. The wound was covered with allogenetic skin or biomaterials. After skin traction for 7-14 days, the joint could reach the extension position. Then the skin graft was performed on the wound. 25 cases were treated from Mar. 2000 to May. 2013.
RESULTSPrimary healing was achieved at the second stage in all the cases. The skin graft had a satisfactory color and elasticity. Joint function was normal. All the patients were followed up for 3 months to 11 years with no hypertrophic scar and contraction relapse, except for one case who didn' t have enough active exercise on shoulder joint.
CONCLUSIONDelayed skin grafting combined traction can effectively increase the skin graft survival rate and improve the joint function recovery.
