    Since the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus infection pandemic has swept the world. Although the current novel coronavirus mutants have decreased in pathogenicity and virulence compared with the original strains, and most patients have a good prognosis, the solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are vulnerable to novel coronavirus. And even with vaccination, the risk of hospitalization or death is still high in SOT recipients infected with novel coronavirus. What′s more, the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment strategy of SOT recipients infected with novel coronavirus has its unique features, which need high attention. At present, there is a lack of guidelines or consensus in the diagnosis and treatment field of novel coronavirus for such a large number of SOT recipients. Therefore, referring to the "Diagnosis and treatment plan of coronavirus (Trial Version 10)" and global published literature, the writing team wrote the "Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus infection in solid organ transplant recipients (2023 edition)" . This consensus was evidence-based written and reached by experts after multiple rounds of discussions, forming 21 recommendations, providing reference for the diagnosis and treatment of SOT recipients infected with novel coronavirus.

    Shouguo Yang
    Chinese Journal of Transplantation(Electronic Edition) 2022, 16 (05): 266-276. DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-3903.2022.05.002
    Abstract (114) HTML (16) PDF (2287 KB) (72)

    Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is proved to be a crucial complication in heart transplantation, which has not been well evaluated and studied in China. Nowadays, it is considered that AMR contains a series of evolution process from pathological changes to clinic manifestation, which starts with the accumulation of immune factors (such as antibody, complement), the activation of complement and ends with graft tissues injury. Clinically, AMR was classified as circulating antibody silent stage, sub-clinical stage and symptomatic AMR stage. The mechanism of AMR involved in an inflammatory reaction induced by deposition of immunoglobulins and complements within the microvessels of the grafts, in which the activation of complements played a core role. Therefore, immunological assay of C4d and C3d in endomyocardial biopsy specimens combined with evidence of histopathology capillaries injury were necessary for the diagnosis of AMR. While noninvasive gene detection with Allomap and donor-derived cell-free DNA were effective method serving as screening and monitoring AMR. Recommendations on management of AMR consisted a combination of corticosteroid, intravenous immune globulin, plasmapheresis or rituximab by scale of AMR, which were proven to be effective against immune injury. However, the efficacy of anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody, eculizumab and photochemotherapy remains to be further evaluated.

    Abstract (47) HTML (4) PDF (1541 KB) (50)

    肝移植是治疗终末期肝病最有效的方法。随着外科技术和免疫抑制药物的发展,肝移植受者和移植物生存率已显著提高。根据中国肝移植注册中心(China Liver Transplant Registry,CLTR)数据,2015至2021年我国共实施肝移植35 566例,公民逝世后器官捐献肝移植和活体肝移植受者术后1、3、5年生存率分别为83.7%、74.5%、68.9%和92.4%、89.3%、88.2%[1]。肝移植受者的长期存活和生存质量很大程度上取决于术后中长期健康管理和免疫抑制方案。长期服用免疫抑制剂可导致受者出现肾损伤、代谢性疾病和新发恶性肿瘤等严重并发症,甚至增加肝癌肝移植术后肿瘤复发风险[2]。目前肝移植受者常用的免疫抑制方案以钙调磷酸酶抑制剂(calcineurin inhibition,CNI)为基础,其中以他克莫司+吗替麦考酚酯(mycophenolate mofetil,MMF)+泼尼松方案最为普遍。但是CNI引起的肾脏毒性、神经毒性和促进肿瘤复发等问题极大地影响了受者预后,近年来临床逐渐减少其用量并寻求替代药物。

    Abstract (82) HTML (0) PDF (5244 KB) (23)
    Objective

    To evaluate the optimal strategy of gene editing type and immunosuppressive regimen by applying a novel anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (anti-CD40) in combination with tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen in a humanized genome engineering porcine-non-human primates (NHPs) allogeneic cardiac ventral allograft experiment.

    Methods

    The heart of a humanized genome engineering (GTKO/hCD39/hCD55/hTBM) male Bama miniature pig was transplanted into the peritoneal cavity of a male cynomolgus to establish a cardiac xenotransplantation model. During the perioperative period, a new immunosuppressive regimens consisting of domestic anti-CD40 in combination with mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, methylprednisolone, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and anti-thymocyte globulin were administered, and the electrical activity of the transplanted heart was monitored in real-time using an extracorporeal telemetry monitoring device. The main outcomes were coronary artery blood flow and function after revascularization, electrocardiographic signal changes and myocardial enzyme changes in the transplanted heart, and immunosuppression status and survival time of the recipient. The secondary outcomes were the physiological parameters of the recipient, including routine blood tests, liver and kidney function, serum protein and electrolytes, and life support therapy based on the results. When the xenograft suffered failure of function, the cardiac xenograft was removed and sent for pathological examination using HE staining and electron microscopy.

    Results

    The transplanted heart showed a ruddy color and had a soft texture, autonomous heartbeat and strong myocardial contraction after revascularization. One week after transplantation, the transplanted heart had good coronary artery perfusion. The cardiac ultrasound indicated normal myocardial systolic function, and the condition of the recipient was normal. The levels of serum creatine kinase and lactic dehydrogenase in the recipient transiently increased after transplantation and decreased to normal levels at postoperative day 6. The hemoglobin, electrolytes and liver and kidney function of the recipient significantly improved at 1 week after transplantation. Cardiac ultrasound indicated significant myocardial hypertrophy of the cardiac xenograft at 2 weeks after transplantation. At 20 days after transplantation, the heartbeat of the xenograft decreased from 120-140 beats per minute to 50-80 beats per minute, the blood flow of the anastomotic site was normal, and the coronary artery was well-perfused, but the myocardium was debilitated in the systolic phase. The experiment was terminated at 20 days after transplantation because the function of the transplanted heart was significantly weakened. HE staining showed myocardial fiber hyperplasia, local myocardial fibrosis, interstitial edema and monocyte infiltration. Myofibril distortion, intermuscular space broadening, and structural damage to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and myocardial myofilament were observed under an electron microscope.

    Conclusions

    A humanized genome engineering porcine-NHPs model of intra-abdominal heterotopic cardiac xenotransplantation was successfully established. The application of a novel anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody with tacrolimus-based combination immunosuppressive regimens effectively inhibited hyperacute rejection, delayed the occurrence of acute rejection, and achieved longer survival of the xenograft organ.

    心脏移植是目前治疗终末期心脏病的主要手段[1,2]。肺动脉高压(pulmonary hypertension,PH)作为终末期心力衰竭常见的并发症,是心脏移植的高危因素,可能会增加心脏移植术后右心衰竭发生风险和受者术后早期病死率[3,4]。PH是指静息状态下,经右心导管检查(right heart catheterization,RHC)测定的肺动脉平均压(mean pulmonary artery pressure,mPAP)≥25 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa,下同)[5];2022年欧洲心脏病学会与呼吸学会更新了PH的诊断标准,为mPAP≥20 mmHg[6]。RHC是将导管经外周静脉送入右心及肺动脉,并行血流动力学及氧动力学检测的技术,其中使用Swan-Ganz导管进行检查的技术称为右心漂浮导管检查[7]。右心漂浮导管检查不仅是诊断PH的金标准,也是评估心脏移植不良事件或死亡风险的重要手段[8,9]。2016年,国际心肺移植学会指南提出应对所有心脏移植成人候选者进行右心漂浮导管检查,据此来评估和确定心脏移植等待者名单;若等待时间超过半年以上,移植前复查右心漂浮导管检查并根据其状态动态调整检查间隔时间直到移植结束[10]。据中国心脏移植注册系统数据,我国心脏移植数量已从2015年的279例增至2021年的738例,但仍无法满足大量终末期心力衰竭患者的救治需求[11]。因此,对心脏移植患者术前肺动脉压进行可逆性评估至关重要,以优化围手术期的管理,提高心脏移植成功率及受者生存率[12]。本文通过回顾性分析心脏移植术前行右心漂浮导管检查的35例受者临床资料,评估和总结右心漂浮导管检查临床应用效果及护理经验,现报道如下。

    Current status and progress of research on prevention of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma
    Qijian Yu, Zhe Yang, Shusen Zheng
    Chinese Journal of Transplantation(Electronic Edition) 2023, 17 (03): 171-179. DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-3903.2023.03.009
    Abstract (83) HTML (0) PDF (933 KB) (17)

    Liver transplantation is one of the most important tools for the radical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As the incidence of HCC continues to rise worldwide, the number of patients awaiting transplantation with HCC as a primary indication is increasing. However, the recurrence after transplantation remains inevitable and is one of the leading causes of death after liver transplantation. Therefore, the key to improving the long-term outcome of liver transplantation for HCC is to prevent tumor recurrence after transplantation. This article reviews recent advances in HCC liver transplant recipient and donor selection, preoperative bridging and downstaging therapy, intraoperative tumor-free techniques and ischemia-reperfusion injury in transplantation, personalized immunosuppressive regimens, and postoperative adjuvant and antiviral therapy to provide a reference for research and clinical practice in the prevention of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for HCC.

    Qifa Ye, Jia′nan Lan
    Chinese Journal of Transplantation(Electronic Edition) 2023, 17 (04): 221-226. DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-3903.2023.04.003
    Abstract (63) HTML (2) PDF (1757 KB) (16)

    In January 2015, organ donation after citizens′ death has become the only legal source of organs in China. After 8 years of reform practice and 2 years of special rectification, organ donation and transplantation in our country show fast, leap-forward development on a legal, ethical, scientific and standardized road, and has shown a good trend of high-quality, healthy and sustainable development along the same track as the international community. At present, China′s organ donation and transplantation ranks first in Asia and second in the world, which has been highly praised and supported by the international transplant community. However, the huge quantitative difference between donors and recipients is still a realistic problem that organ transplant doctors have to face. The development of xenotransplantation may be an effective means to alleviate the current situation of organ shortage, and its clinical promotion needs to overcome the serious complications caused by cross-species genetic differences. This paper summarizes the current development status of organ donation and transplantation in China and the progress of clinical research on xenotransplantation.

    Chinese Journal of Transplantation(Electronic Edition) 2023, 17 (06): 362-371. DOI: 10.3877/cma.j.issn.1674-3903.2023.06.008
    Abstract (36) HTML (1) PDF (6689 KB) (16)
    Objective

    To evaluate the efficacy of different immunosuppressive regimens after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Methods

    PubMed, Medline, Scopus, EMbase, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched. The search period was from the establishment of the database to August 31, 2023. The main observation indexes were overall survival rate and recurrence-free survival rate at different time after liver transplantation. The Cochrane bias risk assessment tool 5.1.0 was used to evaluate the bias risk of the included studies. R software was used for network meta-analysis based on Bayesian random effect consistency model. The outcome indicators of dichotomous variables were calculated by odds ratio (OR), and the outcome indicators of continuous variables were calculated by mean difference (MD), which were expressed by effect value and 95% confidence interval (CI). The I2 statistic was used to evaluate the heterogeneity between studies. The potiential scale reduction factor was used to judge the convergence of the model, and the Brooks-Gelman-Rubin diagnostic diagram was drawn. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

    Results

    Finally, 27 articles were included, including 8 randomized controlled trials, 1 prospective cohort study and 18 retrospective cohort studies. A total of 11 410 liver transplantation recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma were included. Compared with CNI group and sirolimus group, the rate of vascular invasion in everolimus group was higher (OR = 0.45, 95 %CI: 0.30-0.71; OR = 2.20, 95%CI: 1.24-3.77). Compared with liver transplant recipients receiving everolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen, recipients receiving CNI had lower overall survival rates at 2 years (OR: 0.44, 95%CI: 0.21-0.86), 3 years (OR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.25-0.94), 4 years (OR: 0.21, 95%CI: 0.10-0.43), 5 years (OR: 0.20, 95%CI: 0.07-0.58) and 6 years (OR: 0.18, 95%CI: 0.07-0.50) after transplantation. Compared with liver transplant recipients receiving sirolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen, recipients receiving CNI had lower overall survival rates at 1 year (OR: 0.41, 95%CI: 0.24-0.66), 2 years (OR: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.33-0.88), 3 years (OR: 0.66, 95%CI: 0.44-0.99), 4 years (OR: 0.42, 95%CI: 0.28-0.60), 5 years (OR: 0.59, 95%CI: 0.38-0.90), 6 years (OR: 0.51, 95%CI: 0.28-0.82), and 7 years (OR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.27-0.84) after transplantation. Compared with liver transplant recipients receiving sirolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen, recipients receiving CNI had lower recurrence-free survival rates at 1 year (OR: 0.43, 95%CI: 0.23-0.77), 2 years (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.34-0.95), 3 years (OR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.34-0.92) and 4 years (OR: 0.47, 95%CI: 0.21-0.92) after transplantation.

    Conclusions

    Compared with the CNI-based immunosuppressive regimen, the prognosis of liver transplant recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma using the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor-based immunosuppressive regimen after transplantation is better.

    Objective

    To analyze hub genes in BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) after renal transplantation and its relationship with infiltrating immune cells by bioinformatics methods.

    Methods

    GSE75693 and GSE72925 (BKVAN-related datasets) and GSE47199 (a BK viremia-related dataset) were downloaded from GEO database. Then GSE75693 and GSE72925 were combined to screen for differential expression genes (DEGs), followed by gene ontology biological process (BPGO), Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis to further screen hub genes. Immune infiltration analysis was performed using CIBERSORT, and then correlations between differential immune cells and hub genes were calculated. Finally, common hub genes in both BK viremia and BKVAN were screened in the GSE47199 dataset, and the biological process of common hub genes in BKVAN and BK viremia were identified using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). All statistical analysis and visualizations were based on R language (4.0.2). P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

    Results

    A total of 175 up-regulated and 70 down-regulated DEGs were screened from the combined dataset. Nine hub genes were obtained from the PPI network by five methods of intersection, and the hub genes were mainly enriched in the processes related to immune cell activation and function; in the KEGG analysis, the hub genes were mainly enriched in viral proteins, cytokine and cytokine receptor interactions, cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions and chemokine signaling pathways. Immune infiltration analysis showed that PTPRC, CCL5, TYROBP, CXCL10, CD2 and CXCL9 were associated with infiltrating immune cells in BKVAN. CD2 was the common hub gene for both BKVAN and BK viremia.

    Conclusions

    In this study, the hub genes of BKVAN were screened by bioinformatics, among which PTPRC, CCL5, TYROBP, CXCL10, CD2 and CXCL9 were associated with immune cells infiltration in BKVAN, and CD2 was the common hub gene of BKVAN and BK viremia.
