目的:探讨远端缺血预处理对同种异体肾移植术后患者肾功能的影响。方法:选择行同种异体肾移植手术的患者20例,并将其随机分为实验组(S)和对照组(D),每组10例。S组于麻醉后在左下肢绑扎止血带行远端缺血预处理,D组不作缺血预处理。分别于术前(T0)、术后24(T1)、48(T2)、72h(T3)记录患者的尿量;生化检测患者血清尿素氮(BUN)和肌酐(Scr)含量;ELISA检测患者肾损伤分子-1(Kim-1)的含量。结果:两组患者的一般情况比较无统计学差异(P0.05)。两组患者术后各时点的尿量均较术前显著增加,且S组术后各时点的尿量均明显多于D组增多(P0.05)。两组患者术后各时点的Scr、BUN含量均较术前下降,两组T1、T2时点的Scr、BUN含量比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05),但S组术后T3时点血清Scr、BUN水平均明显低于D组(P0.05)。两组患者术后尿液Kim-1水平均较术前明显下降,S组在T3时点的Kim-1水平显著低于D组(P0.05)。结论:远端缺血预处理可显著减轻移植肾缺血再灌注损伤,有利于同种异体肾移植患者术后肾功能的恢复。     

肾移植术后肺部感染的鉴别诊断

肾移植术后并肺部感染是重症监护病房患者死亡的重要原因,感染的症状及体症呈复杂多样化,变化迅速。肾移植后因长期使用免疫抑制剂,肺部感染的病原体多为混合性感染,常见的病原体如铜绿假单胞杆菌、大肠埃希菌、肺炎克雷伯氏杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、尤其是耐甲氧西林的金黄色葡萄球菌、结核杆菌、麻疹病毒、巨细胞病毒、呼吸道合胞病毒、真菌、军团菌及卡氏肺孢子虫等病原体引起的肺部感染,尤其是军团菌及卡氏肺孢子虫在免疫抑制患者中感染逐渐增加。从临床表现判断肺部感染病因的诊断较困难,病原学检查需要特殊的检查手段如肺泡灌洗及保护性样本刷取样,胸部X线表现具有一定的参考价值,尤其早期CT检查更有意义。为了明确肺部感染的病因学,患者表现、实验室检查结果及X线表现进行综合考虑是十分必要的,这有利于肺部感染的预防及控制。     

肾移植术后HCMV感染与淋巴细胞亚群及肾功能的相关性

目的：肾移植患者由于术前透析及术后服用免疫抑制剂,显著增加了人巨细胞病毒（Humancytomegalovirus,HCMV）原发感染和潜伏感染被激活的机会。观察HCMV感染情况与血T淋巴细胞亚群及肾功能的变化,以探讨其相关性及临床意义。方法：跟踪收集40例肾移植患者术前、术后血标本,应用RT-PCR技术检测HCMV,流式细胞术检测淋巴细胞亚群,结合肾功能判断是否发生急性排斥或移植肾功能恢复延迟。结果：肾移植术后HCMV感染率为52．5％,10例出现症状性感染（25％）,出现阳性时间35．7±15．3天。症状性感染组CD3-bCD4＋的水平和CD4＋／CD8＋的比值较无活动性感染组和正常对照组均降低,CD8＋水平较其他组升高,差异有显著性意义（P〈0．05）。无症状性活动感染者与无活动性感染者各指标比较差异无显著性。活动性感染组急性排斥或移植肾功能恢复延迟发生8例（38．1％）,无活动性感染组发生1例（5．2％）,差异具有统计学意义（x^2=6．15,P〈0．05）。结论：肾移植术后HCMV感染能显著引起T淋巴细胞亚群变化,尤其是CD4＋／CD8＋。并与急性排斥或移植肾功能恢复延迟密切相关联,在其发生发展中可能起着重要的作用。三者相互联系、相互作用、互为因果,对进一步机制的研究及临床诊断治疗、预后方面有一定意义。

运动性急性肾损伤与新型肾功能生物标志物

大强度运动中,非创伤性急性肾损伤（acute kindey injury, AKI）经常发生,表现为血尿、蛋白尿、血红蛋白尿等。一般认为,中低程度的运动性急性肾损伤是可逆的,可完全恢复。但动物实验与人类研究均发现,严重的运动性肾损伤会导致“功能性”急性肾损伤发展为“结构性”急性肾损伤,并增加慢性肾病的风险。运动性急性肾损伤对机体的潜在健康威胁已引起国内外相关领域学者的广泛关注。血清肌酐 (serum creatinine, Scr)和尿量作为肾功能的传统经典标志物,不能特异性反映早期肾损伤,而新型肾损伤标志物可进一步明确损伤的位置及严重程度。在运动领域,利用新型生物标志物进行无创性检查,识别早期运动性急性肾损伤非常必要。本文综述了反映肾小球或肾小管损伤、细胞周期停滞和肾损伤修复的新型生物标志物,着重论述了尿中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白（NGAL)和肾损伤分子-1（KIM-1)与肾功能的关系,以及长时间耐力运动、急性运动和高强度间歇阻力运动3种运动形式对肾功能的影响,旨在引起重视,精准识别风险,及时进行早干预。

肾移植术后巨细胞病毒感染的诊治进展

肾移植术后长期大量的使用免疫抑制药物,使患者的细胞免疫、体液免疫均受损,特别是细胞免疫受损更为严重,因而增加了各种感染的机会.感染时间以术后2～4月多见.感染病原茵有细菌、病毒、真菌及卡氏肺囊虫等,常常为混合感染.其中病毒感染以巨细胞病毒(cytomegalovirus,CMV)多见,且CMV感染是降低受者和移植肾存活率的重要因素.本文就肾移植术后巨细胞病毒感染的诊治作一综述.     

心脏手术围术期的血糖波动与术后急性肾损伤

心脏手术围术期高血糖与术后并发症的关系已经得到大量研究,高血糖与术后肾功能损伤的关系存在着不同的观点,但是对于围术期血糖水平的波动与术后肾损伤的研究甚少。本文概述了心脏手术围术期血糖水平波动对术后肾功能损伤的影响,简要分析其损伤机制。研究表明,多种因素可以增加围术期血糖水平的波动,对多项围术期高血糖是否增加术后肾功能损伤的研究争议分析发现,围术期血糖水平的波动对术后肾损伤的发生起到潜在作用,其损伤机制主要在于引起氧化应激和血流动力学的波动。相信围术期血糖水平的波动对术后肾功能损伤的影响的进一步的研究,将有助于降低心脏手术后急性肾损伤患者术后并发症的发生率。     

The prognostic value of the furosemide stress test in predicting delayed graft function following deceased donor kidney transplantation

Objectives and methods: The Furosemide Stress Test (FST) is a novel dynamic assessment of tubular function that has been shown in preliminary studies to predict patients who will progress to advanced stage acute kidney injury, including those who receive renal replacement therapy (RRT). The aim of this study is to investigate if the urinary response to a single intraoperative dose of intravenous furosemide predicts delayed graft function (DGF) in patients undergoing deceased donor kidney transplant.

Results: On an adjusted multiple logistic regression, a single 100?mg dose of intraoperative furosemide after the anastomosis of the renal vessels (FST) predicted the need for RRT at 2 and 6?h post kidney transplantation (KT). Recipient urinary output was measured at 2 and 6?h post furosemide administration. In receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the FST predicted DGF with an area-under-the curve of 0.85 at an optimal urinary output cut-off of <600 mls at 6?h with a sensitivity of and a specificity of 83% and 74%, respectively.

Conclusions: The FST is a predictor of DGF post kidney transplant and has the potential to identify patients requiring RRT early after KT.     

Rejection prophylaxis with sequential OKT3 and CSA after kidney transplantation

Sixteen kidney transplant recipients received the IgG2a anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody OKT3 and azathioprine as rejection prophylaxis during the first two postoperative weeks. Concomitant immunosuppression consisted of low dose steroids while cyclosporine A therapy was instituted on day 12. Side effects included fever, bronchospasm, hypotension and diarrhoea. OKT3 caused T cell modulation resulting in CD3 dim +, CD4+ or CD8+, CD5+, WT31– and 11F2–cells. Anti-OKT3 antibodies were found in approximately 50% of the patients. The protocol induced a 100% patient and graft survival and a 81% actuarial freedom of rejection at 18 months. It prevented CsA associated nephrotoxicity in the direct postoperative phase.These beneficial effects outweighed the side effects of OKT3.     

Emerging role of autophagy in kidney function,diseases and aging

Autophagy is a highly conserved process that degrades cellular long-lived proteins and organelles. Accumulating evidence indicates that autophagy plays a critical role in kidney maintenance, diseases and aging. Ischemic, toxic, immunological, and oxidative insults can cause an induction of autophagy in renal epithelial cells modifying the course of various kidney diseases. This review summarizes recent insights on the role of autophagy in kidney physiology and diseases alluding to possible novel intervention strategies for treating specific kidney disorders by modifying autophagy.

The technique of kidney transplantation in rhesus monkeys

The technique of kidney transplantation in rhesus monkeys is described in detail. The rate of successful transplantations can be increased to 90-100% if several technical aspects are considered. These include adequate perfusion of the organ to be preserved, measures to prevent a sharp decrease in body temperature, doing the arterial anastomosis with interrupted sutures and prevention of low blood pressure after revascularization.     

Nutritional status,energy expenditure,and protein oxidative stress after kidney transplantation

Objectives: To evaluate the association between nutritional status, resting energy expenditure (REE), and protein oxidative stress in patients after kidney transplantation (KT).

Methodology: The study evaluated 35 patients transplanted at the time of hospital discharge and 3 months after regarding: body composition, REE (by indirect calorimetry), and injury factor (IF); serum urea, creatinine, glucose, albumin, total protein, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), vitamin C.

Results: Three months after discharge, there was an improvement in renal function, nutritional status, and oxidative stress, with a standardization in the REE/kg. There was an increase in body weight, mainly in fat mass. The correlations showed that a greater cold ischemia time resulted in a deeper decline in vitamin C; a longer hospital length stay resulted in a greater reduction in AOPP; the higher preoperative body weight showed greater increases in body fat and glucose after transplantation. For decreases in REE and IF, there were increases in total protein. Finally, at hospital discharge there was a greater gain in weight, lower albumin, and total protein among individuals who had rejection episodes.

Discussion: The KT improves many of metabolic abnormalities, with the improvement of nutritional status, oxidative stress, and normalization of REE.

Selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activities in blood of patients before and after allogenic kidney transplantation

In animals and humans, the highest level of selenium (Se) occurs in the kidney. This organ is also the major site of the synthesis of the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Decreased Se levels and GSH-Px activities in blood are common symptoms in the advanced stage of chronic renal failure (CRF). Blood samples for Se levels and GSH-Px activities measurements from patients were collected just before transplantation and 3, 7, 14, 30, and 90 d posttransplant. The Se levels in whole blood and plasma of patients before transplantation (79.5 and 64.5 ng/mL, respectively) were lower by 23% and 21%, respectively, as compared with controls (p<0.0001), and 7 d after operation, it further decreased in both components (p<0.01). Fourteen days after surgery, the levels reached the initial values and increased slowly in the later period. Red blood cell GSH-Px activity in patients in the entire period of the study did not differ from the control group. Plasma GSH-Px of patients before the surgery was extremely low (76 U/L) as compared with controls (243 U/L; p<0.0001) but increased rapidly to 115 U/L after 3 d, to 164 U/L after 14 d, and to 208 U/L after 3 mo posttransplant. In CRF patients, after kidney transplantation, plasma GSH-Px activity increased rapidly, approaching, after 3 mo, the values that were close to the normal levels. A negative correlation between creatinine level and plasma GSH-Px activity is observed in patients after kidney transplantation. Monitoring of plasma GSH-Px activity may be a useful additional marker of the transplanted kidney function.     

Delayed graft function and chronic allograft nephropathy: diagnostic and prognostic role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin

Context: Available markers are not reliable parameters to early detect kidney injury in transplanted patients.

Objective: Examine neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) in early detection of delayed graft function (DGF) and as a long-term predictor of graft outcome.

Patients and methods: NGAL was evaluated in 124 transplanted patients.

Results: Urinary NGAL levels were associated to a 10% (HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.04–1.25; p?<?0.001) and 15% (HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.09–1.26; p?<?0.001) increased risk of DGF and allograft nephropathy progression, respectively.

Conclusion: NGAL reflects the entity of renal impairment in transplanted patients, representing a biomarker and an independent risk factor for DGF and chronic allograft nephropathy progression.
