Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of direct-acting antiviral ( DAA) therapy for hepatitis C after renal transplantation. Methods By a retrospective analysis, we recruited seven patients who were infected with hepatitis C virus ( HCV RNA) and treated with direct-acting antiviral agents therapy after kidney transplantation in our transplantation department. Serum HCV RNA, alanine transaminase ( ALT), estimate glomerular filtration rate ( e GFR) and serum creatinine level were measured at baseline, 2nd, 4th, 12 thweek of treatment, and 12 th, 24th, 48 thweek after the treatment. Survival rate of these patients at 1 year post-therapy was analyzed. Results Seven kidney graft recipients infected with HCV were enrolled in our study. All these patients were given DAA therapy for 12 weeks. At the end of therapy, HCV RNA was negative in all patients. The serological test had a rapid virologic response ( RVR) of 100% ( 7/7), SVR12, SVR24 were 100%, and ALT at 2thweek of treatment had improvement compared with that before treatment. ALT levels remained stable thereafter; e GFR and blood muscle levels remained stable throughout the study period. Conclusion During the 1 year follow-up period, the therapy for patients infected with hepatitis C virus after kidney transplantation is safe and effective, and kidney function after transplantation was relatively stable during the research period.

Objective To investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) and area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 12 h by limited sampling strategies (LSSs) in de novo kidney transplant patients of Chinese ethnicity.Method The PK data from 20 Chinese renal transplant recipients collected during the maintenance period after transplantation were analyzed retrospectively.Ten blood samples were obtained after EC-MPS was given on the postoperative day 21.Blood concentrations of mycophenolic acid were measured and AUC was estimated using high performance liquid chromatography in recipients receiving immunosuppressant EC-MPS plus tacrolimus and steroid.LSSs with jackknife technique,multiple stepwise regression analysis,and Origin 7.5 analysis were developed to estimate mycophenolic acid (MPA) AUC.Result There was wide inter-individual variation in MPA plasma level and the AUC.The best equations obtained in the test group were for 3 and 4 time points:AUC0-12h (mg· h· L-1) =12.820 + 0.662 × C1.5h + 1.750 × C4h + 4.213 × C8h,and AUC0-2h (mg· h· L-1) =12.119 + 0.676 × C1.5h + 1.685 × C4h + 1.429 × C6h + 2.573 × C8h respectively.When these LSSs were.tested in the validation group,the results were acceptable (R =0.861,P<0.001 for 3 time points,and R =0.882,P<0.001 for 4 time points).Conclusion LSSs are useful for MPA AUC0-12h estimation in Chinese renal transplantation patients.LSSs using time points at C1.5h-C4h-C8h or C1.5h-C4h-C6h-C8h provide the most reliable and accurate estimation of the AUC0-12h of mycophenolic acid in Chinese stable renal transplant recipients receiving EC-MPS and tacrolimus.
Objective To evaluate the safety and validity of an early steroid withdrawal protocol including cyclosporine (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in middle aged and elderly renal transplant patients. Methods Between September 2000 and April 2008, the prospective, randomized study design was used in 80 middle aged and elderly renal transplant patients. Steroid withdrawal group (n=39) with primary cadaveric kidney transplants received a protocol consisting of CsA 4~6 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) beginning at postoperative day 3, MMF 0. 75 g twice a day from the next postoperative day, and methylprednisolone (MP) 500 mg daily from day 0 to 3. Then prednisone (Pred) 20 mg daily was gradually tapered and withdrawn after postoperative day 30. Conventional steroid treatment group (control group, n=41) received a regimen consisting of CsA, MMF and MP, and Pred 20 mg daily. Pred was tapered to 5 mg daily over a period of 6 months, then maintained thereafter. Outcome parameters were patient and graft survival rates, renal function, acute rejection ( AR), arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia or diabetes mellitus, weight gain and infection. Results The incidence of AR in the steroid withdrawal group was similar to the control group (23. 1% vs. 19. 5%, χ~2=0. 15,P>0. 05). Patient survival rates at 12, 24, 36 months were 97. 4%, 94. 8% and 88.0% in the steroid withdrawal group and were 97.6%, 97.6 and 87.8% in the control group, respectively (χ~2=0. 17, P>0. 05). And graft survival rates were 94. 9%, 88. 6% and 83. 7% in the steroid withdrawal group and were 95. 1%, 91. 5% and 79. 5% in control group, respectively (χ~2 = 0.07, P>0. 05). Conclusions In middle aged and elderly renal transplant patients, early steroid withdrawal is feasible and may not significantly increase the risk of acute rejection episodes.
Objective: To explore the effect of folic acid,Vit B6,and Vit B12 on hyperhomocysteinemia in renal-transplant recipients.Methods: 195 renal-transplant recipients were randomly divided into the vitamin treatment group(group A,n=103,folic acid 5 mg/d,vitamin B6 50 mg/d,Bl2 1 mg/d,totally 2 months) and the control group(group B,n=92).The plasma Hcy levels were determined before treatment,before operation and 1,10,20 and 30 days after operation.Results: The plasma level of Hcy in group B was significantly higher than that in group A before and after operation.The rate of acute rejection was lower in group A than in group B.Conclusion: Vitamin B supplementation can reduce the homocysteine level and the rate of acute rejection for renal-transplant recipients.
Objective To investigate the expression and the clinical significance of survivin proteins in tissues of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods Expression of survivin proteins were detected by immunohistochemical technique in tissues of 52 cases of renal cell carcinoma and 10 cases of normal kidney. Results Survivin was undetectable in all normal renal tissue, while it was expressed in 92.31% (48/52) of the RCC. In RCC, there was significant correlation between the expression of survivin and lymph node status, but no association between the expression and some clinical characters, including patient age, sex, tumor size and carcinomatous embolus status in inferior vena cava. There was significant relation between the expression of survivin and the pathologic features(P<0.05). No significant difference was observed between the expression of survivin and the clinical stage in RCC. The type of pathology of RCC was not correlated with the expression of survivin. Conclusion These results suggest that the expression of survivin may be upregulated during the development of human renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, survivin might be a useful criterion to propose the diagnosis of RCC.

Objective: To investigate the causes for vesania in postrenal transplantation patients.Methods: We reviewed and analyzed the process of diagnosis and treatment of 9 patients caught vesania after kidney transplantation.They were all treated using sedatives,8 of them were transfused using Diazepam,the largest dosage was 90mg within 24 hours.However,5 of them still showed the symptom of vesania after transfusion,so they were injected with 25?mg Chlorpromazine and 25?mg Promethazine.Results: After being used sedative,the patients were calmed down gradually and then could be treated easily,5 of the patients were in the state of lethargy with stable vital signs.After 24 to 72 hours,patients were given less sedative till not according to their condition.Being stable,8 patients were discharged 28-72 days later.The transplanted kidney of one sufferer was broken due to anxious.After nephrectomy,he was given Diazepam,and the symptom disappeared 28 hours later.One year later,He accepted transplantation and no symptom of vesania reappeared.Conclusions: Vesania after kidney transplantation contributes to comprehensive causes.
Objective To compare the prophylactic efficacy of combination of ganciclovir and acy- clovir or acyclovir alone against cytomegalovirus pneumonia in renal transplant recipients.Methods A to- tal of 217 renal transplant recipient(124 men and 93 women;mean age,32 years;age range,16-72 years) were divided into 3 groups randomly.In 51 cases,acyclovir was taken orally at a dose of 400 mg,3/d,from the third d to 3 months after transplantation.In 74 cases,ganciclovir was administered at a dose of 250 mg/d intravenously from the 21st d to 27th d to replace Acyclovir.In 92 cases,no prophylaxis against eytomegalov- irus pneumonia was performed.All patients were followed 3 months after transplantation.Comparison of the incidence rates of cytomegalovirus pneumonia among the 3 groups was performed using Fisher's exact test. Results Cytomegalovirus pneumonia developed in 20 cases in the 3 groups,including 4 cases(5.4%) in combined use group,2 cases(3.9%)in acyclovir alone group,and 14 cases(15.2%)in control group. Significant difference existed between the 2 experimental and control groups(P<0.05).However,no signifi- cant difference existed between the 2 experimental groups(P>0.05).Of the 20 cases,17(85.0%)were cured,and 3 died of respiratory failure.Conclusions Ganciclovir and acyclovir have prophylactic effect a- gainst cytomegalovirus pneumonia in renal transplant recipients.These 2 medications are inexpensive,and the patients have good compliance.
Objective:To summarize the long-term surval rate of the recipients receiving renal retransplantation.Methods:The clinical data of 41 cases of renal retransplantation between January 1999 and December 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.Of them,18 underwent allograft nephrectomy(group 1) and 23 did not(group 2).The graft survival rate at 1,3,and 5 years,the factors contributiving to the mortality and factors affecting the graft survival were observed. Results:The 1-,3-,and 5-year graft survival rates were 85.4%,76.2%,and(65.8%,) respectively,and those in group A and B were 88.9% vs 82.6%(P >0.05);74.7% vs 77.1%(P>(0.05),) and 62.2% vs 68.5%(P>0.05),respectively.Acute rejection(AR) rates were not significantly different between groups A(33.3%) and B(30.4%)(P>0.05).Incidence of AR was higher in patients with positive PRA,however,antibody-inducing therapy could lower the incidence of AR.Conclusions:Graft nephrectomy before retransplantation can not lengthen the long-term survival,and high quality of HLA matching and antibody-inducing therapy may improve the long-term survival rate of graft.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Rh-negative patients receiving Rh-positive renal grafts.Methods Three Rh-positive kidneys were transplanted in 3 Rh-negative uremia patients respectively. The pre- and intraoperative conditions were evaluated. All patients were regularly followed up.Results Dysfunction occurred in one graft kidney 5 years after the operation, and the patient died of cardiovascular complication 8 years after the operation. The remaining 2 patients have survived 22 and 2 months respectively with normal renal function, and their Rh antibodies were negative 21 and 2 months after the operation respectively.Conclusion Fully perfused Rh-positive renal grafts can be transplanted to Rh-negative uremia patients. The short-term effect is satisfactory.
Objective:To observe the outcome of clinical treatment of advanced pancreatic carcinoma in patients who were unable to bear surgery and underwhent regional chemotherapy.Methods:42patients who were diagnosed through exploration of pancreatic carcinoma that could not be treated by radical re-section were given regional chemotherapy.Through laparotomy a catheter was inserted into the gastroduo-denal artery or right gastroepiploic artery and a bolus of 5-FU at the dose of 1g was infused through the catheter during operation.5-FU at the dose of 1g was infused during weekly after operation.Results:No severe complications or side effects were found in any patient,most symptoms were relieved or disappeared,the middle survival time rose to8.2months (P0.05),and the serum concentration of CA19-9became lower than that before the therapy.Conclusion:Regional chemotherapy has advantages of fewer side effects and complications,and can relieve clinical symptoms and prolong survival time.
