Objective To dynamically monitor the changes of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets of renal transplant recipients and investigate the relationship between lymphocyte subsets with infection and rejection.Methods The clinical data of allogenic kidney transplantation recipients and living relative donors in the Department of Kidney Transplantation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were prospectively collected from June 2015 to December 2016.The data of lymphocyte subsets and other related indexes were obtained from renal transplant recipients and relatives of the same period.Results Sixty-four cases of living-relative donors and 351 cases of renal transplant recipients were enrolled in this study,and the recipients were divided into 3 groups:infection group (67 cases),acute rejection group (46 cases),and stable group (238 cases),according to the diagnostic criteria.There was significant difference in the concentration distribution of lymphocytes between the stable group and the control group (P<0.05).The stable frequency distribution range of the stable group was as follows (cells/μL):Lym (1 000-1 500),T (<1 500),CD4+ (<1 000),CD8+ (<1 000),B (<300),NK (100-300),CD4+/CD8+ (0.5-1.0).The number of Lym,T,CD4+,CD8+,NK and B cells in the preoperative patients was less than that in the healthy population (P<0.05);The number of Lym,T,CD4+, CD8+,B and NK cells was gradually decreased in the postoperative infection group,which was less than that in the stable group (P<0.05).After treatment the indicators gradually restored to the level in the stable group level;the number of T,CD4+,CD8+,B cells was highly correlated with infection.The number of T and CD4+ cells,and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were significantly increased in acute rejection group as compared with the stable group,and gradually decreased after the rejection was reversed.The number of T,CD4+,CD8+ cells was highly correlated with rejection.Lymphocyte subsets had a predictive effect on infection and rejection of recipients,and CD4+ cell count and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were independent risk factors.Conclusion The monitoring of lymphocyte subsets has an important clinical value in the evaluation of immune status and individual treatment of renal recipients.

Objective To explore the effect of posterior debridement, grafting and internal fixation for treatment of non-specific lumbar intervertebral infection. Methods Clinical data of 20 patients with non-specific lumbar intervertebral infection treated in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2013 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 5 females with an average age of 41 years (range, 36-51 years). All patients suffered from single lumbar inter-vertebral infection, including 3 cases at L2/3,4 at L3/4,10 at L4/5 and 3 at L5/S1. All 20 cases underwent one-stage posterior debride-ment, autogenous bone grafting and internal fixation, tissue samples in focus were collected for bacterial culture and pathological examination. The disease controlling statues were evaluated based on laboratory results of ESR and CRP. Imaging examinations were taken to evaluate the fusion of vertebral body. Clinical effects were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Jap-anese Orthopaedic Association scores (JOA) score of lumbar fumction. Results All patients underwent the surgery successfully. The surgery duration time was 90-160 min, average 125 min, and the blood loss was 200-700 ml, average 360 ml. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in one case. Postoperatively, all patients experienced significant reliefof back pain, improving in the func-tion of movement, and no fever. The lower back VAS score: average (5.35 ± 1.15) points before operation , average (2.76 ± 0.34) points one week after operation, and an average score of (0.85±0.65) points by the last follow-up time. JOA lumbar function score:all patients were effective after operation, the improvement rate was excellent in 65%(13cases), good in 25%(5 cases), and pass-able in 10%(2cases). Comparing with preoperation, the excellent and good rate was 90%. All patients ESR and CRP returned to normal levels at the last follow-up. Ordinary bacterial culture was positive in 8 cases and negative in 12 cases. The pathogens iden-tified were staphylococcus aureus (6 cases), Escherichia coli (2 cases) and staphylococcus epidermidis (2cases). All incisions achieved primary healing. All patients were followed up from 6-18 months (average,12 months), and the symptom of pain relieved significantly. No recurrent infection had happened. A solid bony fusion was found in all patients at 6-14 months (average, 8.5 months) after the surgery. Conclusion Posterior debridement, grafting and internal fixation are effective treatments for non-spe-cific lumbar intervertebral infection, can reduce the time of staying in hospital, this operation is safe and reliable.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric organ donation after death. Methods Clinical data of donors and recipients undergoing en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric donor kidneys were retrospectively analyzed. The 1-year survival rates of the recipient and grafted kidney were calculated. The recovery of renal function at postoperative 1 year was observed. The changes in the length of grafted kidney and incidence of postoperative adverse events were monitored. Results The 1-year survival rate of the recipients was 8/9, and 72% for the grafted kidney. During 1-year follow-up, the serum creatinine (Scr) level was down-regulated from (747± 170) μmol/L before transplantation to (83±27) μmol/L post-transplantation, the blood urea nitrogen concentration was decreased from (24.5±4.9) mmol/L to (6.8±2.0) mmol/L, and the length of transplanted kidney was increased from (61.1±9.8) mm to (100.3±1.7) mm. Two recipients suffered from delayed graft function(DGF) and restored after hemodialysis. Two cases developed acute rejection and healed after methylprednisolone shock therapy. One recipient presented with lung fungal infection at postoperative 2 weeks after transplantation, and was treated by the withdrawal of immunosuppressive agents and antibacterial treatment with poor clinical efficacy. Then the recipient died at 3rd month. One case had renal arterial thrombosis at postoperative 7 d, underwent nephrectomy at postoperative 10 d and returned to hemodialysis. At postoperative 1st month, one recipient suffered from thrombosis of unilateral renal artery. The grafted kidney in other side normally functioned and significantly grew in size at postoperative 6 months. In addition, two cases had ureterostenosis of the transplanted kidney, albuminuria in 2, abdominal aortic stenosis in 1 and urinary fistula in 1. All these symptoms were cured or alleviated after corresponding treatment. Conclusions The incidence of perioperative complications is relatively high in en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric organ donation after death, whereas the clinical efficacy of such kidney transplantation can be gradually increased along with the accumulation of clinical experience.
