Establishment and Application of Rapid Screening Method for Influenza Virus Neuraminidase Inhibitors Sourced from Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on Fluorescence Detection / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo establish a rapid screening method for influenza virus neuraminidase（NA） inhibitors sourced from Chinese medicines based on fluorescence detection. MethodThe method was constructed based on the principle that after the reaction of the test sample and a certain amount of NA， the activity of some NA will be inhibited by the test sample， and the NA that is still active after the addition of the substrate can generate fluorescence at a specific wavelength when combined with the fluorescent substrate， and the inhibition rate of the test sample on NA was calculated according to the measured fluorescence intensity， so as to evaluate the in vitro inhibitory activity of the test sample on NA. A total of 49 high-purity chemical components from 12 Chinese medicines were used to evaluate the in vitro anti-NA activity by the established method. The theoretical calculated values of binding energy and inhibition constant after docking between the NA protein receptor and the test sample were used to prove the accuracy of the experimental results. The established method was applied to detect the in vitro NA inhibitory activity of different batches of Banlangen granules and Kangbingdu granules， so as to evaluate the quality consistency among different batches of samples. ResultThe methodological examination results showed that the method had good accuracy and repeatability. The screening results of 49 components showed that 22 of them had strong in vitro inhibitory activity against NA than peramivir ［half inhibitory concentration（IC50） was 131.2 μmol·L-1］， such as schaftoside， isoorientin， chebulinic acid， menthone and isoschaftoside. The inhibitory activity of the remaining 27 components was weaker than that of peramivir. The molecular docking results showed that the theoretical calculation results of binding energies and inhibition constants of most compounds were basically consistent with the experimental results. The test results of the inhibitory activity of 12 batches of Banlangen granules on NA showed that the quality consistency among samples A1， A2， B2， C1， C2， E2 and F2 was good. The analysis results of the inhibitory activity of 9 batches of Kangbingdu granules produced by the same manufacturer on NA showed that the inhibitory rates of samples K1 to K9 were 37.68%， 36.18%， 31.37%， 33.98%， 40.36%， 33.76%， 40.69%， 41.08%， 40.06% when the concentration of 0.02 g·mL-1， and the average inhibitory rate was 37.24%. ConclusionIn this paper， we successfully established an analytical method that can be used to rapidly evaluate whether Chinese medicines （derived from chemical components of traditional Chinese medicine or proprietary Chinese medicines） have in vitro anti-NA activity， which can be a powerful supplement to the existing screening methods for influenza virus NA inhibitors. And this method was used to screen 22 compounds from 12 Chinese medicines with good in vitro inhibitory activity against NA， which can provide candidate compounds for the development of anti-influenza small molecule drugs.

Analysis of risk factors for pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective:To explore the risk factors of pulmonary infection in elderly (aged 60+ years) kidney transplant recipients.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 119 elderly kidney transplant recipients from January 2010 to January 2019 . According to whether or not pulmonary infection occurred after renal transplantation, the recipients were divided into infected group (n=40) and non-infected group (n=79). Clinical data was analyzed for two groups. The relevant risk factors of gender, age, donor type, body mass index, history of smoking, preoperative dialytic time, preoperative dialysis, immune induction, immune maintenance, presence or absence of delayed graft function, leucopenia, serum creatinine before infection, venous hormone shock therapy or not, diabetic history before or after surgery, history of coronary heart disease, history of hepatitis B virus, prophylactic dosing of compound sulfamethoxazole, prophylactic valganciclovir or ganciclovir, were examined by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The incidence of pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients was 33.6% (40/119). In infected group, 15 patients died of severe pulmonary infection with a mortality rate of 37.5%(15/40). History of smoking (OR=10.58, 95%CI: 1.98-56.40, P=0.006), venous hormone shock therapy (OR=25.06, 95%CI: 4.25-147.71, P<0.001) and preoperative dialytic time (OR=1.032, 95%CI: 1.003-1.062, P=0.033) were the risk factors for pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients. Conclusions:The incidence and mortality of lung infection are higher in elderly kidney transplant recipients. Smoking history, venous hormone shock therapy and long preoperative dialytic are associated with pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients.

Summary of treatment experience of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection after renal transplantation in DCD era / 器官移植

Objective To summarize the clinical treatment experience of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection after renal transplantation in donation after cardiac death (DCD) era. Methods Clinical data of 10 donors and 17 recipients with CRKP infection after DCD renal transplantation from January 2015 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Both donors and recipients received bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. Clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome of CRKP-infected recipients were recorded. Results Seven donors were infected with CRKP. After pretreatment, CRKP in 2 cases turned negative, CRKP in 5 donors did not turn negative. All renal grafts were treated with tigecycline+meropenem+voriconazole lavage to prevent infection. Among 17 recipients with CRKP infection, 11 cases were positive for blood culture, 10 positive for urine culture, 3 positive for sputum culture, 3 positive for incisional secretion and 3 positive for retroperitoneal drainage. Clinical manifestations included fever in 8 cases, rupture and hemorrhage of the transplant renal artery in 7 cases or thrombosis in the transplant renal artery in 1 case, bladder irritation sign in 3 cases and cough with brick red jelly-like sputum in 1 case, respectively. Five patients were treated with tigecycline+meropenem, 1 patient suffered from renal graft loss and 4 recipients died. Twelve patients were treated with ceftazidime-avibactam +meropenem, 3 patients presented with renal graft loss and 1 recipient died. Conclusions CRKP-infected donor is not the absolute contraindication of renal transplantation. Pretreatment of donor infection and early administration of sufficient sensitive antibiotics can cure CRKP infection and improve the clinical prognosis of renal transplant recipients.

Study on Antimicrobial Activity of Ampelopsin Combined with 8 Kinds of Antibiotic against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE： To study the antimicrobial activity of ampelopsin combined with 8 kinds of antibiotic against Pseudomonas aeruginosa （PA） in vitro. METHODS： Chessboard trace dilution method was used to determine minimum inhibitory concentration （MIC） of ampelopsin combined with ceftriaxone， cefoperazone/sulbactam， piperacillin/tazobactam， cefoperazone， ciprofloxacin， amikacin， piperacillin and cefepime to PA strain ATCC27853 and 7 isolated strains PA135， PA216， PA276， PA281， PA291， PA314 and PA319. Fractional inhibitory concentration index （FICI） was used to evaluate its effects of drug combination. Clinically isolated strain PA319 were taken as target strain and then divided into normal control group， ampelopsin alone group， antibiotics alone group and ampelopsin+antibiotic combination group. Using MIC of ampelopsin and antibiotics during drug combination as active concentration， the number of colonies cultured for 0， 4， 8， 12 and 24 h was counted， and the time-sterilization curve was drawn. RESULTS： For above 8 kinds of strains， MIC of ampelopsin alone was 128-256 mg/L； FICI of ampelopsin combined with ceftriaxone， cefoperazone/sulbactam， piperacillin/tazobactam， cefoperazone， ciprofloxacin， amikacin， piperacillin and cefepime to 8， 8， 7， 6， 4， 4， 6 and 6 strains were equal to or lower than 1， respectively. In time-antibacterial curve， compared with antibiotics alone， the number of colonies decreased by 2.65， 2.30， 0.42， 0.47， 0.53， 1.19， 1.74， 1.04 lgCFU/mL respectively after ampelopsin combined with ceftriaxone， cefperazone/sulbactam， piperacillin/tazobactam， cefoperazone， ciprofloxacin， amikacin， piperacillin and cefepime. CONCLUSIONS： Ampelopsin combined with ceftriaxone and cefoperazone/sulbactam show better antibacterial effect on PA.

Experience in diagnosis and treatment of infection and bleeding caused by DCD-derived CRKP in kidney transplant recipients / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of DCD donor-derived CRKP infection and bleeding in kidney transplantation,and to summarize the experience of diagnosis,treatment and prevention.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out from July 2016 to December 2017 in hospital,containing clinical data of 4 cases of CRKP-infected DCD donors and 7 cases of kidney transplantation recipients.Results In the CRKP culture of 4 cases of DCD donors,1 case was positive for blood culture,1 case was positive for urine culture,1 case was positive for sputum culture,and 1 case was negative for blood,urine and sputum culture.The corresponding 7 recipients were all positive for blood culture after renal transplantation,4 cases were positive for urine culture,3 cases were positive for sputum culture,and 5 cases were positive for perirenal drainage.Of the 7 patients,4 cases had renal artery hemorrhage,1 of them was died.The average bleeding time was 17.75 days after operation (14-19 days).In 7 patients with renal transplantation,CRP increasd.And in 3 cases of deaths,CRP was stably higher than normal.Meanwhile,CRP in 4 surviving patients gradually decreased to the normal range after effective anti-infection treatment.All 7 patients were treated with carbapenems;2 patients were dead without avibactam therapy;and 5 cases were treated with avibactam and carbapenems and survived,1 case died and 1 case had good renal function recovery.Conclusion Positive CRKP in blood,urine and sputum of DCD donors can lead to CRKP infection in kidney transplant recipients.Even if the body fluids of donors are all negative,the false negative results could not be excluded.Persistent or increased high-level CRP after operation is an early warning on CRKP infection.And CRP can be used as an indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of anti CRKP therapy.The combination of avibactam and carbapenem antibiotics is an effective regimen in the treatment of DCD donor-derived CRKP.

Analysis of risk factors of herpes zoster after renal transplantation in a single center / 器官移植

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of the incidence of herpes zoster after renal transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 830 recipients undergoing renal transplantation for the first time in the Organ Transplantation Research Institute of the 309th Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army from March 2009 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of the incidence of herpes zoster after renal transplantation. Results Among 830 patients, 42 (5.1%) suffered from herpes zoster postoperatively. Clinical manifestations of herpes zoster mainly included varicella-zoster rash in the head, face, trunk and limbs. No patient died from herpes zoster. Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) was the most common complication of herpes zoster. Univariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced age and adrenal cortical hormone (hormone) shock therapy could increase the risk of herpes zoster viral infection after renal transplantation (OR=2.414, P=0.016; OR=2.936, P=0.003). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that advanced age and hormone shock therapy were the independent risk factor of the incidence of herpes zoster following renal transplantation (OR=2.238, P=0.030; OR=2.755, P=0.005). Conclusions Herpes zoster after renal transplantation is clinically manifested with varicellazoster rash. Advanced age and hormone shock therapy are the independent risk factor of the incidence of herpes zoster after renal transplantation.

Objective To investigate the influence of BK virus (BKV) activation in renal transplant recipients on the renal allograft function.Method Recipients receiving renal transplantation during 2010.3-2011.4 were sdected as objectives,the urine and peripheral blood samples of them were taken and real-time PCR assays were performed to detect BKV DNA at 0.5,1,3,6,9,and 12 months post-transplantation.Results Among 88 recipients,BKV viruria occurred in 27 (30.68％) patients,and sustained viruria occurred in 17 patients.37.0％ (10/27) of patients with BKV viruria developed inot BKV viremia,and sustained viremia occurred in 5 patients.The viral load in plasma was higher in patients with sustained viremia than in those with transient viremia (P＜0.05),and serum creatinine concentrations were higher when BK viremia occurred (P＜0.05).Conclusion Graft function was impaired among patients with BK viremia,and regularly monitoring BK virus in renal transplant recipients and clinical imervention based on plasma PCR results can prevent transplant kidney damage effectively.

Coping styles of patients waiting for renal transplantation / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:To evaluate the psychological characteristics of the patients waiting for renal transplantation in order to analyze coping style, thus perform the corresponding personalized clinical psychological intervention which is conductive for patients to face reality and disease. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the psychological characteristics of the patients waiting for renal transplantation and to analyze the effect of different social factors on the coping style of patients and to explore the corresponding clinical mental intervention method METHODS:Fifty-eight patients waiting for renal transplantation and 60 patients without renal transplantation were randomly selected from Second Department of Urology, Organ transplantation Center, the 309th Hospital of PLA between February 2009 and August 2010, the patients were required to fil in a psychological questionnaire form using the currently general used medical response. The effect of social factors on the coping style and psychological stress status was analyzed with multi-factor Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:From the questionnaire survey, the evasive and yielding value scores of the patients waiting for renal transplantation were significantly higher than those of the patients without renal transplantation (P0.05). It indicated that the psychological pressure of the patients waiting for renal transplantation was bigger that of the patients with out renal transplantation, which may related with course of the disease, cost and the rejection after transplantation for the patients has to endured. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that sex, education, income, payment methods and age of the patients were al related with the confrontation, evasive and yielding scores, as those with technical secondary school education or better got the best confrontation score while those with annual income less than 60 000 yuan got the highest score in evasive and yielding styles. The results show that income and education level of patients are the main factors that affect the coping style and psychological stress status of the patients waiting for renal transplantation, treating the patients with reasonable renal clinical care interventions can help the patients face to the disease positively and can reduce the damage of transplantation to the psychology of the patients.

Epidemiological study of polyomavirus type BK infection in renal transplant recipients——single center and prospective study / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of polyomavirus type BK infection in renal transplant recipients.Method We systematically screened for active BKV infection preoperation and at 0.5,1,3,6,9,12 and 15 months after transplantation in 116 renal transplant recipients.The screening tests included urine cytology (by the Papanicolaou method) and BKV DNA PCR (the kit for testing the BK virus) assay of both urine and plasma,and the results were recorded.Renal biopsy was performed if the graft function was deteriorated gradually or the loads of BKV replication were very high.Routine histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were performed on renal tissues from partial patients who received the tests of renal biopsy.Result Throughout the follow-up of 15 months,urinary decoy cells (median 8/10 HPF,[1～ 48/10 HPF]),BKV viruria (median 2.63 × 105 copies/mL,[1.78 × 103 ～ 8.54 × 109 copies/mL]),BKV viremia (median 2.70 × 104 copies/mL,[1.95 × 103 ～6.31 × 106 copies/mL]),and BKVAN (4 patients) occurred in 53.46％,24.17％,20.72％ and 3.45％ of renal-transplant recipients,respectively.The positive rate of the decoy cell and BKV DNA in urine reached the peak at the third month to the ninth month after transplantation,and the peak time of the BK viremia was the fifth month post-transplantation throughout the follow-up period.The change in BKV DNA level remained constant in blood and urine throughout the follow-up period.Conclusion The peak time of BKV infection was apparently three to nine months after transplantation,suggesting the importance of monitoring urine cytology and BKV DNA loads in post-transplantation patients closely during this period in order to reduce BKVAN after transplantation.
