ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the clinical and genetic features of neonatal Schaaf-Yang Syndrome (SYS).Methods:The clinical data of a newborn with SYS admitted to our hospital in October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Using "Schaaf-Yang syndrome", "newborn", "preterm", "neonate" as keywords, we searched the CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP database, Chinese Medical Journal Full Text Database, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library for literature published during the date of establishment to March 24th, 2023. The clinical and genetic features of neonatal SYS from published literature were summarized.Results:The patient in this case was a female preterm infant with a gestational age of 33 +3 weeks, characterized by epiglottic collapse, hypotonia, poor response, weak sucking and swallowing, respiratory failure, and abnormalities such as bilateral low ear position and short limbs. The patient received symptomatic treatment, often failed to withdraw the ventilator, and had difficulty intubating. Meanwhile, whole exome sequencing identified a de novo truncated variant c.2892del (p.Trp965Glyfs*3) in the MAGEL2 gene of the patient. At 30 d after birth, the patient died after giving up treatment by her family. A total of 11 retrieved literatures had neonatal records, including 17 cases. The clinical features involved joint contracture (15/17), hypotonia (14/17), respiratory failure (12/17), and feeding difficulties (12/17). Most of the gene variation was truncated mutation, and only 1 heterozygote deletion mutation was found. These gene variation included c.1996dupC(p.Gln-666Profs*47) variation in 7 cases, c.1912C>T(p.Q638X) variation in 3 cases, c.1996C>T(p.Q666*) in 1 case, c.2847-2883del37 in 1 case, c.2118delT(p.Leu708Trpfs*7) in 1 case, c.1850G>A(p.RP617*) in 1 case, c.2167delG (p.Ala723Profs*4) in 1 case, c.2005C>T(p.Gln669) in 1 case, c.2892del(p.Trp965Glyfs*3) in 1 case, respectively. Conclusions:The main manifestations of neonatal SYS included hypotonia, feeding difficulties, respiratory failure and joint contracture. Most of the mutations were truncated mutations of c.1996dupC (p.Gln-666Profs*47).

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To statistically analyze the perioperative results of patients with ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT), in order to explore the changes in blood group antibody of type-A/B recipients. 【Methods】 A total of 33 cases of blood group A/B ABOi-KT recipients in our hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were recruited and divided into two groups of group A(n=18) and group B(n=15) according to the different blood types of recipient. The effects of preoperative plasmapheresis on antibody titer, antibody rebound and renal function after operation(serum urea nitrogen, creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day) were analyzed between the two groups. According to the postoperative rebound of blood type antibodies, 33 recipients were divided into antibody rebound group(n=7) and non rebound group(n=26), and the differences in initial blood type antibody titers between the two groups were analyzed. 【Results】 There was no significant difference in the clearance rate of IgM with preoperative plasma exchange between the two groups (Z=-0.26, P>0.05); Levels of serum urea nitrogen and creatinine on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day after operation between group A and group B were not statistically significant(P>0.05), the same as eGFR. Group B was more prone to rebound antibody compared with group A (P0.05) between the two groups was found. 【Conclusion】 The patients type B receiving type AB kidney donors are more prone to rebound antibody after ABOi-KT operation compared to the the patients type A receiving type AB.

ABSTRACT

Objective:Currently,patients with pre-exsiting donor-specific antibody(DSA)are prone to antibody-mediated rejection(AMR)after surgery and are at a relatively high risk of postoperative complications and graft failure.The risk of postoperative complications and graft failure is relatively high.This study aims to discuss the clinical outcome of DSA-positive kidney transplantation and analyze the role and safety of preoperative pretreatment in DSA-positive kidney transplantation,providing single-center treatment experience for DSA-positive kidney transplantation. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 15 DSA-positive kidney transplants in the Department of Renal Transplantation of First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2017 to July 2022.Eight cases were organ donation after citizen's death(DCD)kidney transplant recipients,of which 3 cases in the early stage were not treated with preoperative desensitisation therapy(DCD untreated group,n=3),and 5 recipients were treated with preoperative rituximab desensitisation(DCD preprocessing group,n=5).The remaining 7 cases were living related donors recipients(LRD)who received preoperative desensitisation treatment with rituximab and plasma exchange(LRD preprocessing group,n=7).We observed and recorded the incidence of complications with changes in renal function and DSA levels in the recipients and the survival of the recipients and transplanted kidneys at 1,3 and 5 years,and to compare the differences in recovery and postoperative complications between 3 groups. Results:All 15 recipients were positive for preoperative panel reactive antibody(PRA)and DSA and were treated with methylprednisolone+rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin induction before kidney transplantation.DCD untreated group all suffered from DSA level rebound,delayed renal graft function(DGF)and rejection reaction after surgery.After the combined treatment,DSA level was reduced and the graft renal function returned to normal.The DCD preprocessing group were all without antibody rebound,1 recipient developed DGF and the renal function returned to normal after plasmapheresis,and the remaining 4 recipients recovered their renal function to normal within 2 weeks after the operation.In the LRD preprocessing group,2 cases had antibody rebound and 1 case had rejection,but all of them recovered to normal after treatment,and DSA was maintained at a low level or even disappeared.The incidence of DGF and rejection in the DCD untreated group were significantly higher than that in the DCD preprocessing group and the LRD preprocessing group;and there were no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative haematuria,proteinuria,bacterial and fungal infections,and BK virus infection between the 3 groups(all P>0.05).A total of 11 of the 15 recipients were followed up for more than 1 year,6 for more than 3 years,and 1 for more than 5 years,and the survival rates of both the recipients and the transplanted kidneys were 100%. Conclusion:Effective preoperative pretreatment with desensitization therapy can effectively prevent antibody rebound in DSA-positive kidney transplantation and reduce perioperative complications.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of vascular interventional therapy in children with transplantation renal artery stenosis(TRAS).Methods:From January 2013 to September 2021, retrospective analysis was performed for clinical data of 238 TRAS children.Peak systolic velocity(PSV)of transplant renal artery, interlobular artery PSV, transplant renal artery PSV/ interlobular artery PSV(post PSV ratio)and serum creatinine level before and after vascular interventional therapy and at the last follow-up were compared.Results:Six pediatric kidney transplantation recipients were diagnosed as TRAS.The median operative age was 12(9-17)years, the median postoperative time to diagnosing TRAS 4(1.7-18.0)months and the median follow-up period 6.6(2.5-8.0)years.All of them received vascular interventional therapy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA, n=5)and stent angioplasty( n=1). The serum creatinine pre-treatment with vascular interventional therapy was significantly higher than baseline serum creatinine level at discharge(200.8±88.5)vs(75.2±27.9)μmol/L, P=0.025 and decreased to(103.8±44.7)μmol/L at Month 1 post-treatment( P=0.196)and(98.7±30.2)μmol/L at the last follow-up( P=0.115). Comparing with internal diameter of grafted renal artery anastomosis site(2.6±0.6 mm)pre-treatment with vascular interventional therapy, significant changes occurred at 24 h post-treatment(3.8±0.5 mm)and at the last follow-up(4.1±0.8 mm)(all P=0.027). In addition, PSV and post PSV ratio of transplanted renal artery at 24 h post-treatment(163±45.0 cm/s, 6.5±2.2)and at the last follow-up(184.7±80.8 cm/s, 5.4±2.0)were significantly lower than that before vascular interventional therapy(356.5±77.9 cm/s, 18.0±5.8)and interlobular artery PSV was significantly higher than that before vascular interventional therapy( P=0.024, P=0.032, respectively). During follow-ups, no restenosis or thrombosis occurred in transplanted renal arteries. Conclusions:PTA or stent angioplasty for TRAS children is technically feasible with low restenosis rate and relatively satisfactory mid/long-term outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of chemotherapy combined with sorafenib on the prognosis of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD)-positive acute myeloid leukemia and to find a more effective treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients who were newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and who received treatment in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from January 2015 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups according to whether they were positive for FLT3-ITD and the treatment method they used. The observation group (FLT3-ITD-positive, n = 19) were treated with sorafenib based on routine chemotherapy. The control group 1 (FLT3-ITD-positive, n = 21) was treated only with routine chemotherapy. The control group 2 (FLT3-ITD-negative, n = 20) was treated only with routine chemotherapy. After the first and fourth courses of treatment, clinical efficacy was compared among the three groups. Results:After the first course of treatment, the complete remission rate in control group 2 was 50.0% (10/20), which was significantly higher than 15.8% (3/19) in the observation group and 4.8% (1/21) in the control group 1 ( H = 13.39, P < 0.05). After the fourth course of treatment, the complete remission rate in the observation group, control group 2, and control group 1 was 63.2% (12/19), 60.0% (12/20), and 4.8% (1/21), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( H = 19.21, P < 0.05). Four-year follow-up results showed that the median survival time in the observation group, control group 1, and control group 2 was 36.63, 24.15, and 45.00 months respectively. The event-free survival in the observation group, control group 1, and control group 2 was 18.00, 9.82, and 24.90 months, respectively. The median survival time and the event-free survival in the control group 2 were significantly longer than those in the observation group and control group 1 ( χ2 = 19.93, 23.04, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:Chemotherapy combined with sorafenib for treating newly-diagnosed FLT3-ITD-positive acute myeloid leukemia can provide comprehensive benefits and have advantages for survival over chemotherapy without sorafenib and chemotherapy alone.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To retrospectively analyze clinical data of infant donors with body weight ≤15 kg into children recipients, and to investigate the efficacy and complications under the strategy of pediatric donor to pediatric recipient (PTP) of pediatric kidney transplantation allocation.Methods:Clinical data of kidney transplantation for children with infant donors performed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2010 to December 2019 were collected.Clinical data of donors and recipients, postoperative adverse events, postoperative renal recovery, and human and renal survival were analyzed.Results:A total of 50 infant donors and 93 pediatric recipients were enrolled in this study.Recipients included 89 patients with single kidney transplantation (SKT) and 4 with en-bloc kidney transplantation (EBKT). The major perioperative complications were delayed graft function (DGF) (5 cases, 5.4%) and vascular thrombosis (VT) (3 cases, 3.2%), followed by recurrence of primary nephropathy (3 cases, 3.2%), respiratory tract infection (3 cases, 3.2%), and acute rejection (AR) (2 cases, 2.2%). During the follow-up period, the main cause of death was respiratory tract infection (4 cases, 4.3%). Except for the cause of death, the main causes of graft loss were rejection (2 cases, 2.2%) and recurrence of primary kidney disease (2 cases, 2.2%). Serum creatinine decreased progressively from (824.77±150.24) μmol/L preoperatively to (90.73±47.24) μmol/L 1 month postoperatively.In SKT group, the median follow-up time was 31 months (3-74 months), and the survival rates of recipients and transplanted kidneys at 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively were 97.5%/94.2%, 96%/88.8% and 93.1%/86.1%, respectively.In EBKT group, the median follow-up time was 50 months (13-65 months), and the survival rates of recipients and transplanted kidneys at 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively were all 100.0%.During the fo-llow-up period, there was no significant difference in the human/kidney survival rate between groups (all P>0.05), and well acceptable transplantation outcomes were obtained. Conclusions:Single/double kidney transplantation for children and adolescent recipients from infant donors in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University has achieved acceptable outcomes.Adopted by the PTP strategy, the incidence of complications after kidney transplantation does not increase, indicating its safety and reliability.

ABSTRACT

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Unfortunately, most of HCC patients were diagnosed at the intermediate or advanced stage, losing the chance to receive the surgical intervention. Locoregional interventional treatment is one of the major therapeutic options for inoperable HCC treatment and prolongs the survival of the patients. Evaluation of the efficacy of the treatment is the important to determine the further therapy strategies. Currently, the evaluation of patients’ response is mainly based on CT and MR anatomic morphological images, but characteristics of tumor biology changes can be observed earlier than the morphological changes. In the recent years, with the development of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), its value in clinical application has been continuously explored, and it has been increasingly used for quantitative evaluation the diffusion of water molecular and microcirculation perfusion of blood flow in tumor tissue, with some progress in evaluating the tumor response. This paper mainly reviewed the recent research findings of DWI on locoregional interventional treatment for HCC, thereby providing guidance on clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the difference of curative effect between zero-profile bridge-shaped locking cage (ROI-C) and anterior cage combined with titanium plate fixation in the treatment of two-level and three-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Methods:A total of 85 patients (43 males and 42 females), aged 52.3±8.0 years (range from 28 to 66 years) with bi- and three-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy who received surgical treatment from June 2017 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 63 cases of two levels and 22 cases of three levels. 45 cases were treated with zero-profile bridge-shaped locking cage ROI-C (ROI-C group), and 40 cases with anterior cage combined with titanium plate fixation (titanium plate group). The main observation indicators include operation time, intraoperative blood loss, cervical Cobb angle, fusion segment Cobb angle, average intervertebral height, pain visual analogue scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) Score and neck disability index (NDI).Results:All of 85 patients were followed up for 16.9±2.0 months (range 12 to 22 months). The operation time of two-level ROI-C group was 110.37±8.25 min, which was shorter than 139.5±10.54 min of titanium plate group; the intraoperative blood loss was 15.74±8.10 ml, which was less than 23.71±9.70 ml of titanium plate group; the operation time of three-level ROI-C group was 130.00±5.70 min, which was shorter than 162.83±5.59 min of titanium plate group, while the difference in the intraoperative blood loss between the two groups had no statistical significance. One year after operation, Cobb angle of cervical vertebra in double and three-level ROI-C groups were 15.31°±1.55° and 15.20°±0.42°, respectively, which were largerthan 11.23°±2.03° and 9.20°±1.14° before operation; in titanium plate group, they were 15.89°±1.13° and 16.08°±1.88°, which were higher than 11.25°±2.01° and 9.00°±1.60° before operation, and the differences had statistical significance. The differences between the two groups before operation and 1 year after operation had no statistical significance. One year after operation, the VAS scores of double and three-level ROI-C groups were 1.83±0.66 points and 2.60±0.52 points, respectively, which were less than the preoperative 7.49±0.51 points and 7.60±0.52 points; the titanium plate group was 1.79±0.50 points and 2.41±0.51 points, which were less than the preoperative 7.61±0.63 points and 7.42±0.52 points, and the differences had statistical significance. There was no significant difference between the two groups before operation and 1 year after operation. One year after operation, the JOA scores of double and three-level ROI-C groups were 15.00±0.84 points and 14.70±0.95 points, respectively, which were higher than the preoperative 7.20±0.87 points and 6.60±1.27 points; the scores of titanium plate group were 15.29±0.85 points and 14.83±0.58 points, which were higher than the preoperative 6.89±1.03 points and 6.92±0.67 points, and the differences had statistical significance. The differences between the two groups had no statistical significance. The postoperative JOA improvement rate was excellent. Postoperative dysphagia occurred in 1 case (2.22%, 1/45) in ROI-C group and 8 cases (20.00%, 8/40) in titanium plate group, and the difference in the incidence rate between two groups had statistical significance ( χ2=5.32, P=0.02). Conclusion:Both ROI-C and anterior cage combined with titanium plate fixation in the treatment of double and three-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy can achieve good short-term clinical efficacy, with shorter operation time and lower incidence rate of postoperative dysphagia using ROI-C.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the efficacy of single kidney transplantation for children from pediatric donors between body weight ≤15 kg and >15 kg.Methods:A retrospective review in 156 children with single donor kidney transplantation from August 2010 to December 2019 in the Kidney Transplantation Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University was conducted. The patients were classified into the small kidney group (pediatric donor body weight ≤15 kg) and the big kidney group (pediatric donor body weight >15 kg). In this study, 89 cases were concluded in the small kidney group and 67 cases were concluded in the big kidney group. The donor kidneys were obtained from 46 cases of small weight (≤15 kg) pediatric donors and 48 cases of large weight (>15 kg) pediatric donors. There were significant differences in age [1.00 (0.02 - 4.00) years vs. 10.00 (3.00-18.00) years], body weight [10.0 (3.4 - 15.0) kg vs. 35.0 (16.2- 35.0) kg], height [76 (50- 113) cm vs. 144 (67-172) cm], GFR [(31.50±7.46)ml/min vs. (36.79±7.00) ml/min], and renal length to diameter [(5.91±0.48) cm vs. (8.71±1.88) cm] between the small kidney group and the big kidney group ( P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups of donors in gender, cold/warm ischemia time and cause of death ( P>0.05). There were significant differences in age [(11.28±3.89) years vs. (13.86±3.56) years], body weight [(31.83±10.45)kg vs. (35.13±9.15) kg], and height [(130.02±28.56) cm vs. (143.97±16.59) cm] between recipients of the small kidney group and big kidney group ( P < 0.05). While there were no significant differences in preoperative serum creatinine level [(822.65 ± 135.04) μmol/L vs. (777.31 ± 165.40) μmol/L], HLA mismatch [(3.4 ± 1.4) site vs. (3.2±1.3) site], and primary disease between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The recovery of renal function, postoperative adverse events, postoperative children, and graft survival were compared between the two groups. Results:The renal function of the two groups of recipients returned to normal 3 months after operation. The perioperative complications in the small kidney group and the big kidney group mainly included renal delayed recovery [5.6% (5/89) vs. 7.5% (5/67), P=0.89], renal vascular embolization [3.4% (3/89) vs. 0, P=0.35], and acute rejection [2.2% (2/89) vs. 4.3% (3/67) , P=0.75]. The main cause of recipient death during the follow-up period was pulmonary infection [4.5% (4/89) vs. 6.0% (4/67) , P=0.68]. The postoperative small kidney group was followed up for an average of 30 (3-74) months. The survival rates of children in the small kidney group at the 1, 3 and 5 years after surgery were 96.6% (86/89), 91.0% (81/89) and 91.0%(81/89), while the transplanted renal survival rates were 92.1% (82/89), 86.5% (77/89) and 84.2% (75/89), respectively. The postoperative big kidney group was followed up for an average of 32 (4-89 ) months. The survival rates of children in the big kidney group were 95.5% (64/67), 94.0% (63/67) and 91.0%(61/67) in the first 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively, while the graft survival rates were 92.5% (62/67), 83.6% (56/67) and 83.6% (56/67), respectively. The postoperative kidneys of two groups were fast-growing, and there was no significant difference between the small kidney group and the big kidney group in graft length to diameter [(9.63±0.31) cm vs. (9.75±0.71) cm] after 1 year ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The effect of single pediatric kidney transplantation for pediatric donor with body weight ≤15 kg is equivalent to that for pediatric donor with body weight >15 kg , which can be carried out clinically.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of unilateral pediatric kidney donation for adult kidney transplantation.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on the cases of children who donated unilateral donor kidney for adult kidney transplantation recipients in our hospital, and those who were followed up for more than three years were included in this study. The body weight of the recipients in group A was ≤50 kg, and the body weight of the recipients in group B was ≤70 kg.The recipients were divided into 0-5 year old donor group (group A) and 6-17 year old donor group (B group). Clinical data, recipient/kidney survival, graft function and growth, and complications of the recipient were analyzed.Results:A total of 45 adult recipients were enrolled, including 12 in group A and 33 in group B. The renal survival rate at 3 years after operation was (100%, 96.9%)/(91.6%, 93.9%). One week after the operation, the early postoperative recovery of renal function in group B was better than that in group A, and the difference of serum creatinine was statistically significant ( P<0.05), while the difference of serum creatinine in other postoperative follow-up time points was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Within a year, both groups of grafts continued to grow, reaching adult levels in one year. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of protein in the two groups was 33.3% and 6.1%, respectively, 1 case in each group still had proteinuria at 1 year after surgery, and only 1 case in the infant donor kidney recipient in group A had proteinuria at 3 years after surgery. Conclusions:Unilateral donor kidney transplantation from children can provide good results for adult patients with uremia by selecting suitable donors according to the weight of the recipient.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore whether hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) preconditioning can relieve inflammation, reduce cell apoptosis and alleviate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups of sham operation (sham), ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and IRI+ HIF-PHI ( n=6 each). In IRI+ HIF-PHI group, mice received an intragastric dose of roxadustat (20 mg/kg) every other day one week before. After renal IRI modeling, serum creatinine (SCr) level was monitored and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining employed for observing the pathological changes of renal tissue and scoring injury degree. Apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells was assessed by terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was utilized for detecting the mRNA expressions of HIF-1α, TNF-α and IL-1β in renal tissues. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were employed for detecting the expressions of hypoxia-inducing factor 1α (HIF-1α), inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). Results:As compared with IRI group, SCr level declined markedly in IRI+ HIF-PHI group ( P<0.01), renal tissue injury improved markedly, semi-quantitative score of renal tubule injury dropped ( P<0.01), apoptotic cells decreased ( P<0.01) and the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β declined ( P<0.05). Compared with sham group, the mRNA expression of HIF-1α was not significantly elevated in IRI group ( P>0.05). Immunofluorescence showed that the expression of HIF-1α in medulla of renal tissues was up-regulated in IRI group, but not markedly in cortex. While the mRNA expression of HIF-1α was markedly up-regulated after a pretreatment of HIF-PHI ( P<0.05), the expression spiked markedly in renal cortex, but was weaker in medulla than that in IRI group. Conclusions:HIF-PHI can boost the expression level of HIF-1α, reduce the expression of inflammatory factors, relieve the inflammatory response, reduce cell apoptosis, improve renal function and alleviate renal ischemia reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the time-zero biopsy of donor kidney with acute kidney injury(AKI)in organ donation donors and examine the clinical effect after transplantation.Methods:From May 2019 to May 2020, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 104 donors assessed by time-zero biopsy at First Affiliated Hospital, Zhengzhou University.According to the definition of AKI and Banff2016 criteria, the kidneys of 104 donors were grouped and evaluated for transplantation.And the post-transplantation effects of donor kidneys with different degrees of pathological changes were analyzed.Results:AKI occurred in 32/104 donors.Compared with non-AKI donors, statistically significant differences existed in degrees of renal interstitial fibrosis and acute renal tubular injury ( P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in other pathological manifestations ( P>0.05). In AKI group, kidneys of 2 donors with Banff score>3 were abandoned; in non-AKI group, among 12 donors with Banff score>3, 1 donor kidney was abandoned due to a high degree of chronic diseases.No significant inter-group difference existed in creatinine value or estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)( P>0.05). AKI group had a higher incidence of postoperative delayed graft function(DGF)and longer duration.There was no statistical significance in other complications ( P>0.05). Conclusions:AKI donor kidneys with pathological manifestations below moderate renal tubular injury and Banff score<3 are feasible for transplantation.Although renal function recovery is slow after transplantation, safe outcomes may be obtained.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the predictive value of pretreatment apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on prognosis in patients with isolated large hepatocellular carcinoma(SLHCC) treated by combined transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients with SLHCC who were treated at the Department of Interventional Radiology, the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from December 2014 to July 2018, with combined TACE and RFA. There were 34 males and 6 females, with an average age of 55.9 years. All patients underwent enhanced abdominal MRI within 1 week before and 1 month after treatment. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive efficacy value of ADC. The survival curves were plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate prognostic analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazard models.Results:After treatment, there were 18 patients with complete response and 12 with partial response. The objective response rate was 75.0% (30/40). The area under ROC curve of ADC in predicting the effectiveness of TACE combined with RFA (complete response + partial response) was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.74-0.98). The optimal threshold was 1.32×10 -3 mm 2/s, the sensitivity was 0.63, and the specificity was 1.00. The progression-free survival rate and cumulative survival rate in the high ADC group (≥1.32×10 -3mm 2/s, n=19) were better than that in the low ADC group (<1.32×10 -3mm 2/s, n=21), with significant differences (both P<0.05). On multivariate analysis, ADC<1.32×10 -3mm 2/s ( HR=3.711, 95% CI: 1.705-8.074; P<0.05) was an independent risk factor for progression-free survival, while ADC < 1.32×10 -3mm 2/s ( HR=3.518, 95% CI: 1.016-12.185, P<0.05) was an independent risk factor for overall survival. Conclusion:Preoperative ADC was an independent risk factor for prognosis in patients with SLHCC undergoing TACE combined with RFA. It has value in prognostic prediction.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the efficacies of single-center pediatric transplantations and discuss the current problems.Methods:From July 2007 to September 2019, the clinical data of 202 children (aged ≤17 years) undergoing renal transplantation were reviewed. And their perioperative complications, transplantation outcomes and patient/kidney survival were analyzed.Results:The most common perioperative complication was delayed graft function (DGF)( n=24, 11.9%), recurrence of renopathy ( n=8, 4.0%) and acute rejection ( n=21, 10.4%). The major causes of death and graft failure were lung infection ( n=9, 4.5%) and rejection ( n=11, 5.4%). Perioperative serum creatinine decreased progressively from (816.1±303.1) μmol/L preoperatively to (62.7±20.6) μmol/L at Month 3 post-operation. The value of eGFR were (166.8±37.3), (135.1±29.0) and (109.9±31.1) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) at Year 1/3/5 post-operation respectively. The survival rates were 96.7%, 96.3%, 94.1%, 93.5%, 94.1% and 90.7% at Year 1/3/5 post-operation respectively. No difference existed in human/kidney survival rate between LD and DD groups at Year 1/3/5 post-operation ( P>0.05) and transplantation outcomes were excellent. Conclusions:Effective and successful outcomes have been achieved at our center. And further optimizations are required for resolving various problems.
