The protective effect on the co-transplanted allogeneic renal cells in male and female recipient rats by the testicular Sertoli cells expressing FasL / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Aim To explore the protective effect of Sertoli cells on the co-transplanted allogeneic renal cells in male and female recipient rats. Methods Testicular Sertoli cells were prepared by digestion with trypsin， collagenase and DNase， while renal cells were prepared by digestion with trypsin alone. FasL and Fas expressions were detected respectively by FCM before transplantation. About 106 cells were injected into the allogeneic renal subcapsule. In order to demonstrate the survival of renal cells， the expression of g-PG in graft was examined by SABC method. Apoptosis of the lymphocytes surrounding the graft was observed by TUNEL(terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated X-dUTP nick end labeling). Results The grafts were analyzed histologically 20 days after transplantation. The renal cells transplanted alone were all rejected, while the survival rates of the mixed cell transplantation were 87.5％ and 77.8％ in male and female recipients respectively. When the renal cells co-transplanted with Sertoli cells treated by anti-FasL mAb， only 30.0％ grafts were survived. Apoptosis of lymphocytes surrounding the graft were quite evident. Conclusion Sertoli cells expressing FasL can protect renal cells from allograft rejection by inducing apoptosis of Fas expressing T cells surrounding the grafts.

Alternate intravesical instillation of different agents for the prevention of bladder cancer recurrence / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To evaluate the alternate intravesical instillation of MMC and IL 2 together with BCG for the prevention of bladder cancer recurrence. Methods The instillation was carried out for 41 cases of bladder cancer after surgical management.All the patients have been followed up for 38～66 months with an average of 50 months.TNFa levels were periodically detected after the instillation. Results No recurrence has been noted in all the 34 patients of Ta,T 1 and T 2 tumors except 1 with mixed squamous cancer. 3 of 7 T 3 cases underwent TURBT,recurrence was noted in 2 and the TNFa remained much higher after the instillation. Conclusions Alternate intravesical instillation of MMC and IL 2 together with BCG is an effective means of preventing bladder cancer recurrence.TNFa detection might serve as a marker for bladder cancer recurrence.
