自体表皮细胞培养与异体真皮组合应用研究

严重烧伤病人皮肤修复中主要未解决的问题是真皮的替代。动物实验结果表明，异体皮移植后５天，用自体培养表皮细胞膜片覆盖真皮床，１４天后复合皮成活率是８４．６％±２．４％。组织学检查证实表皮已形成了复层结构，可见基底层、颗粒层和角质层。临床应用中，异体皮移植后１０天，去除异体表皮覆盖病人的自体培养表皮，３５天后未见排斥征象，异体真皮促进了培养表皮的分层、成熟和完整，组织学检查证实表皮细胞的边缘清楚，已分化形成颗粒层和角质层，真皮多细胞，已血管化，但表皮嵴缺乏。     

四氧嘧啶诱发糖尿病大鼠血管紧张素的变化

实验观察了四氧嘧啶诱发糖尿病大鼠连续饲养１１０ｄ后体内肾素一血管紧张素系统的变化。结果表明，血浆和心脏的血管紧张素Ⅱ含量无明显变化，而肾脏的ＡｎｇⅡ含量却明显低于正常对照组。另外，心脏的心钠素（ＡＮＰ）含量在糖尿病大鼠与正常对照组之间无差别，血中的糖化血红蛋白含量基本无变化。上述结果表明，糖尿病大鼠早期心脏可能无明显损伤，而肾脏的肾素一血管紧张素系统活性降低。     

Renal allograft immunosuppression

We have investigated the impact of triple drug immunosuppression on the occurrence of early inflammatory episodes, as detected by fine needle aspiration biopsy, and of episodes of clinical rejection during the immediate postoperative period. The prospective component of this study includes 128 consecutive first cadaveric renal transplant recipients receiving triple drug treatment consisting of azathioprine (Aza), cyclosporin (CyA) and methylprednisolone (MP). For controls we have used three historical groups: one immunosuppressed with Aza and MP (group A), another with CyA monotherapy (group B), and the third with CyA together with MP (group C) in equivalent drug dosages. On the average, 0.8 episodes of inflammation per patient were recorded during the immediate postoperative period of 30 days with triple drug treatment. This was significantly less than the 1.3 episodes in patients receiving Aza and MP (P<0.01), the 1.7 episodes in patients on CyA monotherapy (P<0.001), or the 1.6 episodes in patients receiving CyA together with MP (P<0.001). Although the first episode of inflammation commenced concurrently in each group and the peak intensity of inflammation was the same, the mean duration of inflammation was significantly shorter-2.7 days-under triple drug treatment than the 7.8–11.7 days for controls (P<0.001). The frequency of rejection episodes under triple treatment was also significantly lower-0.2 per patient-than the 0.8 per patient in controls (P<0.001). The first rejection episode occurred later in the triple drug treatment group-on the average, on day 15.2-than in the historical controls (on days 7.7–11.7). There was, however, no difference in the duration of rejection. There were no differences in patient survival between the four groups. Graft survival was 97% at 10 weeks for triple drug-treated recipients and 79%, 68%, and 87% for first grafts in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Disregarding a minor demographic bias for the triple drugtreated group with respect to preformed antibodies and preoperative dialysis treatment, the study suggests that the triple drug protocol, in the short run, is superior to any conceivable double drug combination or CyA monotherapy.     

Does H2-receptor antagonist alter the renal function of cyclosporine-treated kidney grafts?

Histamine-type 2 antagonists (H₂-blockers) as represented by cimentidine have been shown to adversely affect renal allograft function, particularly when coadministered with cyclosporine, currently a major immunosuppressant. To determine whether or not a newer and more powerful H₂-blocker, famotidine, would produce similar adverse effects, we assessed seven cyclosporine-treated renal allograft recipients with regard to changes in their renal function on or off the H₂-blocker over a one-week period. Neither the administration nor withdrawal of famotidine (20–40 mg/day) resulted in any significant changes in serum creatine, BUN, urine output or cyclosporine trough levels, suggesting that famotidine can be safely administered as an H₂-blocker to cyclosporine-treated renal allograft recipients.     

Differential effects of sulindac on renal hemodynamics and function in the rat

Renal hemodynamics were studied using an electromagnetic perivascular flow sensor in anesthetized rats injected i.v. with vehicle, 5 or 10 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) sulindac. No hemodynamic changes occurred with vehicle (n=6), but mean arterial pressure was significantly decreased (by 15 mmHg) with sulindac (n=12). In the 5 mg/kg b.w. sulindac group (n=7), renal blood flow progressively and significantly increased from 7.88±0.36 to 8.98±0.58 ml/min, except during concomitant intrarenal infusion of 3 mg/kg b.w. per h proadifen (n=7). The pressure limits for efficient and no renal blood flow autoregulation remained unchanged (approx. 100 and 80 mmHg, respectively). In the 10 mg/kg b.w. sulindac group (n=5), renal blood flow did not change but autoregulatory pressure limits were lowered by 10 mmHg 2 h after treatment (P<0.025). Also, Na⁺ retention was marked. Prostanoid excretion in urine was significantly reduced with either dose but basal plasma renin activity was not (about 8 ng/ml per h; n=15). When plasma renin activity was enhanced after a reduction in renal perfusion pressure (n=21), it was decreased from 11.5±1.2 to 7.4±0.2 ng/ml per h only by 10 mg/kg b.w. sulindac (P<0.05; n=6). In conclusion, differential effects of sulindac on renal hemodynamics, Na⁺ excretion and plasma renin activity were demonstrated. Renal hemodynamic changes could be related in part to the cytochrome P-450 arachidonic acid pathway.     

A solitary plasmacytoma of donor origin arising 14 years after kidney allotransplantation

Summary Allotransplantation of solid organs transfers passenger leucocytes which may give rise to a state of persistent microchimaerism. In this report we describe the case of a patient who developed a solitary plasmacytoma in a transplanted kidney more than 10 years after allografting. The diagnosis was established on the basis of the presence of a monoclonal IgG kappa peak in the serum, and light chain proteinuria, the plasmacytoid features of tumour cells including cell surface expression of IgG, kappa light chains, CD20, CD38 and CD56, the absence of lytic bone lesions and a normal bone marrow biopsy, and the disappearance of the monoclonal IgG peak after graft nephrectomy. A donor origin of the tumour was established by HLA DNA typing of tumour, tumour-free kidney tissue, and peripheral blood leucocytes, respectively.     

股前外侧区穿支动脉的形态学研究及皮瓣设计

目的探讨以旋股外侧动脉降支为蒂的皮瓣设计方法，以便增加术前多普勒定位的准确性。方法6具动脉灌注明胶-氧化铅混悬液的新鲜成人整尸标本，解剖观测股前外侧区穿支，通过血管造影术和拍摄X线片测量其直径、行程、分支和定位。用3D—doctor和Scion Image软件分别测量穿支供血的趋向性、三维重建和单穿支供血面积。结果股前外侧区共有外径大于0．5mm穿支16支，平均外径0．8mm，平均供血面积45．61cm^2，其中20％为肌间隙穿支，80％为肌皮穿支。平均蒂长为（3．15±1．43）cm。自旋股外侧动脉降支发出的穿支在浅筋膜中的平均长度为2．63cm。结论改良的氧化铅-明胶灌注技术可以为皮动脉和穿支皮瓣的研究提供高质量的血管造影图像。本研究发现股前外侧单穿支皮瓣的最大供血面积是30cm×20cm。以股前外侧区穿支设计的穿支皮瓣可以移植到下肢或身体其他部位。
