Highly sensitized patients experience an increased number of rejection episodes and have poorer graft survival rates; hence, sensitization is a significant barrier to both access to and the success of organ transplantation. This study reports our experience in kidney transplantation in highly sensitized patients. Fourteen patients with sensitization or high levels of panelreactive antibodies (PRA) were studied. All patients were desensitized with pre-transplant intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)/plasmapheresis (PP) with or without rituximab and thymoglobulin induction therapy, combined with a Prograf/MMF/Pred immunosuppressive regimen. Of 14 patients, 10 showed good graft functions without acute rejection (AR) episodes. Acute cellular rejection in two patients was reversed by methylprednisolone. Two patients underwent antibody-mediated rejection; one was treated with PP/IVIG successfully, whereas the other lost graft functions due to the de novo production of donor-specific antibodies (DSA). Graft functions were stable, and there were no AR episodes in other patients. Conclusively,desensitization using PP/IVIG with or without rituximab increases the likelihood of successful live-donor kidney transplantation in sensitized recipients.

近年来,极端高温气候频发,严重影响水稻产量的形成,研究水稻耐热性风险栽培技术可为我国粮食安全提供重要帮助。作为一种信号分子,越来越多的研究表明水杨酸(SA)可显著增强植物耐热性,然而有关水杨酸在水稻的应用效果的报道较少,且其作用机理还有待阐明。鉴此,本项研究将以耐热性差异较大的水稻品种为材料,于水稻颖花分化期,花粉母细胞减数分裂期及开花期高温胁迫10-15d,在比较花期高温对水稻叶片及颖花影响差异
