Chronic rejection remains the leading cause of chronic allograft dysfunction and late mortality after lung transplantation. Adaptive immune system and its cellular-based rejection has been the focus in the development of obliterative bronchiolitis. Recent research has identified that humoral immunity, autoimmunity, and innate immunity also contribute to obliterative bronchiolitis. This paper presents an updated review of the immune mechanisms for obliterative bronchiolitis following lung transplantation.

Objective To study the effect of three fungi of Helminthosporium on the seven kinds of bioactive constituents in root of seedling Rumex gmelini. Methods Let the R. gmelini infect the fungi of Helminthosporium by dealing the leave surface of R. gmelini with fungal spore suspension. The content of seven kinds of bioactive constituents was determined by HPLC and the results were analyzed by variance analysis. Results During the treatment time, little effect of three fungi of Helminthosporium on content of polydatin, chrysophanol 1-glucoside, and physcion, but the obvious effect on resveratrol, musizin, emodin, and chrysophanol was found. Conclusion The effects of H. turcicum 001 on yield and content of resveratrol are significant in early-middle stage (0—40 d), but treatment time over 40 d is not suitable. The results of this study could provide the new idea and theoretical basis for the exploiting of natural medicines and the planting of Chinese herbal medicine.

Objective:To explore the hemodynamic and comfort effect of modified prone-flexed position in complexity renal calculi patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods:A total of 82 cases of complexity renal calculi patients who undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy were recruited and randomly assigned to experiment group (41 cases) and control group (41 cases). Patients in the control group were placed in conventional prone position, while in the experiment group were placed in modified prone-flexed position. The data include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, saturation of blood oxygen were recorded at preoprative, lithotomy position, change position 30 minutes after operation and postoperative. The General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ) score was recorded in patients for postural comfort. The clinical data was also compared between two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, saturation of blood oxygen between experiment group and control group ( P>0.05). Compared to (44.95±4.80) min, 90.2% (37/41) of the control group, the patients in the experiment group was (47.80±6.71) min, 73.2% (30/41), which showed a shorter average operation time and higher total stone clearance rate, the differences were statically significant ( tvalue was 2.216, χ2value was 3.998, P<0.05). At immediately and 30 minutes after operation, the skin pressure were 9 cases and 4 cases in the experiment group, 18 cases and 11 cases in the control group, the differences were statically significant ( Zvalues were 2.132, 2.038, P<0.05). After 48 hours of surgery, the physical subscale and totl GCQ score were (13.32±1.40) and (78.56±4.65) pionts in the experiment group, significantly higher than (12.17±1.41), (75.76±5.16) pionts in the control group, the differences were statically significant ( tvalues were 3.685, 2.584, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusion:Modified prone-flexed position can shortern operation time decrease the risk of pressure injury and demonstrate better postural comfort of patients with complexity renal calculi undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

This study examined the adipocytokine-vascular interactions and link between epicardial adipose tissue and coronary artery atherosclerosis. Thirty-four patients undergoing open heart surgery were chosen randomly, and divided into group I (non-coronary artery disease group) and group II (coronary artery disease group). Blood samples were taken through peripheral vein prior to surgery. Plasma levels of a panel of proteins (adiponectin, IL-10, TNF-α) were detected by using ELISA. Epicardial adipose tissue was taken near the proximal tract of the right coronary artery and subcutaneous adipose was taken from the leg before cardiopulmonary bypassing, adiponectin and CD68 + were detected by using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Our results showed that plasma adiponectin level was significantly lower in the group II as compared with group I (P<0.05). There were no differences in plasma concentration (IL-10, TNF-α, tatal-chol, HDL-chol, LDL-chol) between group I and group II. The number of CD68+ cells in epicardial adipose tissue of group II was significantly higher than that in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Adiponectin mRNA expression was 6 fold higher in subcutaneous adipose tissue than in epicardial adipose tissue of group II (P<0.01). Furthermore, the level of adiponectin mRNA in the epicardial adipose tissue in group II was also significantly lower than in group I (P<0.05). We are led to conclude that inflammation that occurs locally in epicardial adipose tissue of CAD contributes to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.

0. 05). At the protein level, the expressions of MDR1, BCRP and LRP in HePG2/ADM were significantly higher than HePG2 and L02 ( FMDR1= 28. 68, FBCRP= 18. 60, FLRP= 6. 28, P 0. 05). Conclusion The four genes are probably the normally expressed genes in the liver. The expression of MDR1 and BCRP could be up-regulated by anticancer agents in vitro. MDR1 and BCRP may play very important roles in the MDR of HePG2/ADM. However, MRP1 and LRP may have no relations with the multi-drug resistance of HePG2/ ADM cell lines.
