Kidney transplantation is the best renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, it faces significant challenges due to a critical shortage of donor organs and the underutilization of expanded standard donor (ESD) kidneys.Dual kidney transplantation can increase the utilization of expanded standard donor kidneys and enlarge the donor pool, which is an effective solution to deal with kidney shortage. This review provides a systematic presentation of the current status of research on allocation and recipient selection, surgical technique, complications, postoperative efficacy and immunosuppression protocols for adult dual kidney transplantation, with the aim of providing assistance in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of periostin on bone remodeling and autophagy during the period of tooth replacement and to investigate the mechanism of action of periostin in regulating the balance of bone metabolism during the replacement of primary and permanent teeth.Methods Fifteen cases each of experimental and control groups were collected from the periapical periodontal disease and multiple teeth extracted for periapical adhesions in the author's hospital,the mRNA levels of periostin,bone metabolism genes,and autophagy genes were detected in the specimens by in situ hybridization.Osteoblasts were cultured in vitro,periostin was added to the culture medium of the experimental group,and the expression of bone metabolism proteins[receptor activator of nuclear factor-κb ligand(RANKL),osteoprotegerin(OPG)]and autophagy proteins(LC3,Beclin-1)in osteoblasts was detected by Western blot.Results In situ hybridization results showed that periostin expression in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),RANKL,LC3,BECN1 expression and RANKL/OPG values were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05),and no significant differences were seen in OPG expression(P>0.05);protein blotting showed that RANKL,RANKL/OPG,LC3Ⅱ,Beclin-1,LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ were lower in the experimental group than in the control group(all P<0.05),and no significant differences were seen in OPG and LC3Ⅰ than in the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion Periostin reduces inflammation-induced bone resorption by reducing RANKL expression and improving hyperautophagic state.

Objectives:To analyze the status and temporal changes of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) for stomach and colorectal cancers among registered permanent residents in Changning District of Shanghai Municipality, and provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of stomach and colorectal cancers in this district.Methods:Using the cancer registration data of stomach and colorectal cancers from 2002 to 2019, we estimated the indices such as the DALYs, the DALY crude rates, the age-standardized DALY rates, etc. Then we used the Joinpoint regression model to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC) to explore the temporal variations in different periods.Results:The DALYs of stomach and colorectal cancers in Changning District from 2002 to 2019 were 55 931 person years and 65 252 person years, respectively. The crude rates of DALY were 512.16/10 5 and 597.51/10 5, respectively. We observed a higher disease burden in men than in women, and the peak rate of DALY in stomach cancer was in the 75-79 years age group, while in colorectal cancer the rate was in the 85-years-or-older age group. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that from 2002 to 2019, the age-standardized DALY rate of stomach cancer showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.86%, P＜0.05), while the trend of colorectal cancer was not statistically significant(AAPC=-0.08%, P＞0.05). However, the trends in the age-standardized DALY rates of colorectal cancer were different between males and females, with males showing an upward trend (AAPC=1.24%, P＜0.05) and females showing a downward trend (AAPC=-1.67%, P＜0.05). Conclusions:The DALY of stomach and colorectal cancers in Changning District of Shanghai showed a decreasing trend. Males and the middle-aged and elderly populations are still the key targets for disease prevention and control in this district.

Chronic inflammation is critical in the onset and progression of atherosclerosis (AS). The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) level in the circulation system is elevated in AS patients and animal models, which is correlated with the severity of AS. Inspired by the underlying mechanism that LPS could drive the polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype, aggravate inflammation, and ultimately contribute to the exacerbation of AS, LPS in the circulation system was supposed to be the therapeutic target for AS treatment. In the present study, polymyxin (PMB) covalently conjugated to PEGylated liposomes (PLPs) were formulated to adsorb LPS through specific interactions between PMB and LPS. In vitro, the experiments demonstrated that PLPs could adsorb LPS, reduce the polarization of macrophages to M1 phenotype and inhibit the formation of foam cells. In vivo, the study revealed that PLPs treatment reduced the serum levels of LPS and pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreased the proportion of M1-type macrophages in AS plaque, stabilized AS plaque, and downsized the plaque burdens in arteries, which eventually attenuated the progression of AS. Our study highlighted LPS in the circulation system as the therapeutic target for AS and provided an alternative strategy for AS treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features,differential diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration (BLL-11q).Methods:The clinical manifestations,histological morphology,immunophenotype and molecular genetic changes of 2 cases of BLL-11q admitted to the department of pathology of The First People's Hospital of Lianyungang in 2020 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively,and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:Patients were found with right neck masses inadvertently and grew rapidly. They presented with localized disease with Ann Arbor stages IA and IIA. Microscopically, the normal structure of the lymph node disappeared and was replaced by a diffuse proliferation of lymphocytes, with consistent morphology and medium size. And the presence of "star-sky" phenomenon was obvious, the morphological characteristics were similar to Burkitt lymphoma. Immunophenotypically, tumor cells were diffusely positive for CD20, CD79α, PAX5, CD10 and Bcl-6, partly moderately positive for C-MYC and MUM-1, however, CD3, Bcl-2, CD30 and TDT were negative,Ki-67 positive index was more than 95%, and EBER was negative. FISH detection showed that MYC, Bcl-2, and Bcl-6 were negative. Both cases had the 11q23.3 gain and 11q24.3 loss. Both patients were treated with chemotherapy and followed up for 10-22 months,and achieved complete remission and disease-free survival.Conclusion:BLL-11q is a rare germinal center B-cell lymphoma with abnormal long arm of chromosome 11 and lack of MYC gene rearrangement. It should be distinguished from Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, B-lymphoblastic lymphoma, large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement and high-grade B-cell lymphoma. On the basis of morphology and immunophenotype, the diagnosis depends on genetic detection. There may be a better prognosis.
