肾移植患者血清中可溶性B7-H3水平的变化及其临床意义

Objective To detect the serum soluble B7-H3 (sB7-H3) in patients before and after renal transplantation, and to investigate the clinical significance. Methods The serum level of sB7-H3 in 34 patients were determined before and 3, 6, 12 months after renal transplantation. Besides, 11 health adults were elected as controls. These 34 patients were divided into two groups according to HLA and/or MICA antibodies using Luminex before operation. After transplantation, all the patients were divided into two groups according to their conditions; group Ⅰ with rejection; group S with stable renal function and no rejection. Results The serum level of sB7-H3 in all 34 patients before operation was significantly higher than health controls [(27. 10 ± 13. 61) μg/L,n = 34 vs (11.61 ±3.77) μg/L,n = 11 ,P ＜0. 01], and significantly higher in patients with antibodies than in those without before operation [(34. 96 ± 17. 37) (μ/L, n = 11 vs (23. 34 ± 9. 75) (μg/L, n = 23, P ＜ 0. 05]. There was no significant difference in the serum level of sB7-H3 between control group and S group after operation (P ＞0. 05). In group Ⅰ, the serum level of sB7-H3 was increased obviously when rejection occurred [(20. 63 ±4. 28) μg/L,n = 12; (18. 95 ±2.98) μg/L,n=6; (28.36 ±19. 83) μg/L,n = 10] , as compared with group S and control group (P＜0. 01), while at the time without rejection, there was no difference among them (P ＞0. 05). Conclusion Monitoring serum sB7-H3 after renal transplantation would be clinically useful in indicating therapeutic effect and outcome of the patients.

肾移植术后血清抗MICA抗体与慢性排斥反应的相关性

Objective To explore the relationship of serum anti-MICA antibody and development of chronic rejection (CR) after renal transplantation. Methods The enrolled 105 patients included 43 cases of CR, and 62 cases of functioning renal allograft as controls. Data including PRA level before transplantation, HLA mismatch, cold ischemic time, SCr at discharge, immunosuppressive regimen,and months after transplantation were analyzed. Blood samples were collected immediately after grouping for anti-MICA antibodies, SCr determination. Acute rejection episodes and renal allograft function which was evaluated by △SCr/M [(SCr at present - SCr at discharge) /months after transplantation) were compared between anti-MICA-antibody positive patients and anti-MICA-antibody negative patients. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, HLA mismatch, cold ischemic time, immunosuppressive regimen, SCr at discharge, months after transplantation between CR and control groups (P＞0.05). Serum creatinine level and number of antiMICA-antibody positive patients in CR group were significantly increased as compared with those in control group (P＜0.01 ). Acute rejection episodes during the first 3 months after transplantation in anti-MICA-antibody positive patients were significantly more than those in anti-MICA-antibody negative patients (P＜0.05),and the △SCr/M in the former was higher than that in the latter (8.3 +3.6 vs 2.4 ± 2.6, P＜0.05). Conclusion Humoral immunoreaction mediated by MICA partly participates the development of CR after renal transplantation. MICA antibody is a risk factor affecting long-term allograft function.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the value of B7-H3 in expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) in differential diagnosis of patients with inflammatory elevation of PSA in t-PSA gray zone (4-10 ng/ml). Methods One hundred and sixteen patients from the ages of 19 to 80 years (mean, 40 years) were stu-died. In the group there were 91 chronic prostatitis (CP) patients (mean age 31 years, 19-49 years), including 11 chronic bacterial prostatitis (type II) patients, 26 inflammatory nonbacterial prostatitis (IIIA) patients and 54 noninflammatory nonbacterial prostatitis (IIIB) patients. Transrectal ultrsound guided prostate biopsy was performed on 25 patients (mean age 71 years, 62-80 years) with t-PSA in gray zone (7.21±2.60 ng/ml). Five had positive results, Gleason score was 6 in two cases, 7 in two cases and 8 in one case. Twenty patients had negative results, of whom 11 patients had inflammatory cell infiltration. EPS was collected by transrectal massage, and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were performed for B7-H3 detection. In addition, 11 normal male controls with a mean age of 30 years (24-46 years) were recruited into the study. Volunteers were excluded if they had a history of genitourinary symptoms or surgery.Results The EPS B7-H3 levels of controls, II, IIIA, IIIB groups were 49.81±11.54, 19.33±13.90, 17.67±15.76, 25.14±13.44 ng/ml, respectively. The levels of EPS B7-H3 in positive biopsy, noninflammatory negative biopsy and inflammatory negative biopsy groups were 26.30±16.32, 30.23±18.42, 10.11±5.42 ng/ml, respectively. The highest levels were found in the control group (P<0.01). Compared to the IIIB, B7-H3 levels in II and IIIA groups were significantly lower (P<0.05). There was no significantly difference between II and IIIA groups (P>0.05). The EPS B7-H3 levels in the inflammatory negative biopsy group were statistically lower than in positive biopsy and noninflammatory biopsy groups (P<0.05). But no significant differences were found among inflammatory negative biopsy, II and IIIA groups (P>0.05). Receiver operating curve (AUC=0.883, P=0.001) utilizing EPS B7-H3 levels≤16.24 ng/ml identified patients with inflammatory elevation of PSA with a sensitivity of 78.6% and a specificity of 81.8% from patients with t-PSA in gray zone. Conclusion The EPS B7-H3 detection provides a new way for differential diagnosis of patients with inflammatory elevation of PSA in t-PSA gray zone resulting in a reduction of unnecessary prostate biopsy.

胰腺癌中磷酸酶和张力蛋白同源物基因及B7-H1蛋白的表达及其临床意义

Objective To investigate the probable correlation between the expressions of phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosometen (PTEN) and B7-H1 protein in pancreatic carcinoma and the biological behavior characteristics of tumors. Methods Forty-three patients were recruited who had undergone surgical resection for pancreatic carcinoma between 2002 and 2009. The PTEN and B7-H1 protein expressions in the tissue specimens of these 43 patients and 5 non-pancreatic carcinoma people' s pancreatic tissue specimens were evaluated by immunohistochemistry ELPS technique, and the clinical and pathological features of these specimens and the follow-up information were analyzed. Results PTEN expressions were significantly lower in pancreatic carcinoma tissues than in non-pancreatic carcinoma people' s pancreatic tissues but B7-H1 expressions were significantly higher ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The expression of PTEN was negatively correlated to that of B7-H1 (r = -0.414 ,P ＜0. 01). PTEN and B7-H1 expressions correlated with the pathological grade and tumor-node-metastasis ( TNM ) stage, peripancreatic invasion, regional lymph node involvement,respectively (P＜0. 05). B7-H1 expressions also significantly correlated with the ages (P＜0. 01). Furthermore, PTEN and B7-H1 expressions showed significant prognostic effects (P＜0.01) and there are correlations existed between combined PTEN/B7-H1 expression and prognostic effects (P ＜0. 05). Conclusion The expression of PTEN and B7-H1 may be significantly correlated to the carcinogenesis,development and prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma.
