      • Clinical Practice of Blood Transfusion in Orthotopic Organ Transplantation: A Single Institution Experience

        Tsai, Huang-Wen,Hsieh, Fu-Chien,Chang, Chih-Chun,Su, Ming-Jang,Chu, Fang-Yeh,Chen, Kuo-Hsin,Jeng, Kuo-Shyang,Chen, Yun Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.17

        Background: Orthotopic organ transplantation, a treatment option for irreversible organ dysfunction according to organ failure, severe damaged organ or malignancy in situ, was usually accompanied with massive blood loss thus transfusion was required. We aimed to evaluate the adverse impact of blood transfusion on solid organ transplantation. Materials and Methods: From January, 2009 to December, 2014, patients who received orthotopic organ transplantation at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital medical center were enrolled. Clinical data regarding anemia status and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion before, during and after operation, as well as patient outcomes were collected for further univariate analysis. Results: A total of 105 patients who underwent orthotopic transplantation, including liver, kidney and small intestine were registered. The mean hemoglobin (Hb) level upon admission and before operation were $11.6{\pm}1.8g/dL$ and $11.7{\pm}1.7g/dL$, respectively; and the nadir Hb level post operation and the final Hb level before discharge were $8.3{\pm}1.6g/dL$ and $10.2{\pm}1.6g/dL$, respectively. The median units (interquartile range) of RBC transfusion in pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative periods were 0 (0-0), 2 (0-12), and 2 (0-6) units, respectively. Furthermore, the median (interquartile range) length of hospital stay (LHS) from admission to discharge and from operation to discharge were 28 (17-44) and 24 (16-37) days, respectively. Both peri-operative and post-operative RBC transfusion were associated with longer LHS from admission to discharge and from operation to discharge. Furthermore, it increased the risk of post-operative septicemia. While peri-operative RBC transfusion elevated the risk of acute graft rejection in patients who received orthotopic transplantation. Conclusions: Worse outcome could be anticipated in those who had received massive RBC transfusion in transplantation operation. Hence, peri-operative RBC transfusion should be avoided as much as possible.

      • Dermal Lipogenesis Inhibits Adiponectin Production in Hs68 Fibroblasts

        ( Kai-chen Hu ),( Tsung-yan Tsai ),( Chu-wen Shao ),( Hsin-i Chang ) 한국농업기계학회 2018 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.23 No.1

        Adiponectin is one of the most abundant adipokines from the subcutaneous fat, and regulates multiple activities through endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine mechanisms. However, its expression in adipogenic induced fibroblasts, and the potential role in photoaging has not been determined. Here, human dermal fibroblasts, Hs68, were presented as a cell model of dermal lipogenesis through stimulation of adipogenic differentiation medium (ADM). Similar to other studies in murine pre-adipocyte models (i.e., 3T3-L1), Hs68 fibroblasts showed a tendency to lipogenesis based on lipid accumulation, triglyceride formation, and the expressions of PPAR-γ, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and FABP4 mRNA. As expected, ADM-treated fibroblasts displayed a reduction on adiponectin expression. Overall, these results suggest that dermal lipogenesis may inhibit the expression of adiponectin.

        Distinct Inflammation Biomarkers in Healthy Individuals and Patients with Schizophrenia: A Reliability Testing of Multiplex Cytokine Immunoassay by Bland-Altman Analysis

        Ta-Chuan Yeh,Hsuan-Te Chu,Chia-Kuang Tsai,Hsin-An Chang,Fu-Chi Yang,San-Yuan Huang,Chih-Sung Liang 대한신경정신의학회 2019 PSYCHIATRY INVESTIGATION Vol.16 No.8

        Objective Since the inflammatory process has been implicated in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorder, an important issue emerging is to assess the test-retest reliability of cytokine measurement in healthy individuals and patients with schizophrenia. The objective of the present study was to investigate the test-retest reliability of bead-based multiplex immunoassay technology (BMIT) for cytokine measurement by using a Bland-Altman plot (BAP). Methods Twenty healthy individuals and twenty patients with schizophrenia were enrolled, and a 17-plex cytokine assay was used to measure inflammatory biomarkers at baseline and two weeks later. The test-retest reliability was examined by BAP, 95% limits of agreement (LOA), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and coefficient of repeatability (CoR). Results In the healthy controls, only interleukin (IL)-2, IL-13, IL-10, IL-17, and macrophage inflammatory protein-1β showed excellent ICC. The BAP with 95% LOA determined that 13 cytokines showed acceptable 95% LOA for a 2-week test-retest reliability, and only IL-1β, IL-12 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α had significant test-retest bias. The CoR of cytokines varied significantly, ranging from 1.72 to 218.1. Compared with healthy controls, patients with schizophrenia showed significantly higher levels of IL-5, IL-13, and TNF-α and significantly lower levels of IL-4, IL-12, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Of these six cytokines, IL-12 and TNF-α were considered suboptimal reliability. Conclusion The findings from ICC and CoR implied that the test-retest reliability of BMIT for cytokine measurement were suboptimal. However, the BAP with 95% LOA confirmed that BMIT can reliably distinguish schizophrenia from healthy individuals in cytokine measurement, while significant within-subject variation and between-group overlapping were evident in cytokine expression.

      • The Influence of PMMA Bone Cements on the Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts

        ( Kai-chen Hu ),( Tsung-yan Tsai ),( Chu-wen Shao ),( Hsin-i Chang ) 한국농업기계학회 2018 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.23 No.1

        Due to aging, deficiency of vitamins and minerals, a prior accident or injury, the bones in our body become weak and fragile and so may cause serious defect of hard bone tissues. In orthopaedic surgery, Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements are used to refill and remodel bone defect. PMMA bone cements are formulated by mixing the powder (polymer, PMMA) and the liquid (monomer, methyl methacrylate). During the process, the dimethyl-p-toluidine in the liquid activates the benzoyl peroxide catalyst in the powder and this initiates the polymerization of the monomer, which then binds together PMMA granules. However, PMMA bone cements have displayed cytotoxicity to bone tissue in clinic. In present study, we used PMMA with different molecular weights (Mw:1,5000, 12,0000, 35,0000 and 99,6000 dalton) to prepare 4 types of bone cements for studying the effect of molecular weight of polymeric additives. Chemical eluates were extracted from PMMA bone cements and examined for their bioactive effects on 7F2 osteoblast-like cells and Raw 264.7 microphages. Results demonstrated that PMMA bone cements and eluates could inhibit the differentiation and mineralization behavior of 7F2 osteoblast-like cells after the cytotoxicity of PMMA bone cements and elutes were no longer evident. Moreover, bone cements prepared with high molecular weight PMMA (MW: 99,6000 dalton) had less suppressive effect on cell differentiation and mineralization in comparison with others. In Raw 264.7 microphages, PMMA bone cements and eluates can inhibit osteoclast formation but there was no significant difference among 4 types of bone cements. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of PMMA bone cements on osteoblasts and osteoclasts and we hope these results can provide some useful information for the clinical application of PMMA bone cements.

      • Investigate the Mechanical and Biological Activities of PVA Membranes

        ( Chih-chang Yeh ),( Kai-chen Hu ),( Tsung-yan Tsai ),( Chu-wen Shao ),( Ruey-shyang Chen ),( Hsin-i Chang ) 한국농업기계학회 2018 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.23 No.1

        Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer and which has high tensile strength and flexibility, low toxicity and good biocompatibility for the application of soft tissue engineering. Generally, PVA can be crosslinked to form 3-D structure by a variety of methods, such as chemical crosslinking, irradiation or the freeze-thaw techniques. In contrast, chemical-crosslinked PVA structure has good elasticity, high water content, and stability at room temperature but most of crosslinking reagents such as glutaradehyde have high cytotoxicity. In here, we used low toxic genipin as crosslinking reagent for the formulation of PVA membrane. Thermal behavior and mechanical properties of genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane have been measured by thermo gravimetric analyzer and universal testing machine. Genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane had a smooth surface and the contact angel was about 67°. The swelling test displayed that genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane had high water content (130%) and the increase of PVA molecular weight can slightly improve water content. Moreover, dried genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane presented higher tensile strength (7.21MPa) but lower ductility (3.4%) than hydrated membrane (3.9MPa and 302.4%). Interestingly, rehydration of dried PVA membrane can maintain similar ductility to original hydrated membrane but the tensile strength was reduced by 40%. Therefore, drying process may break some hydrogen bonding between the polymer structure of PVA membrane. In MTT assay, there was some toxicity remained in genipin-PVA membrane but cell survivability was 1.5-1.9 fold higher than glutaradehyde-crosslinked PVA membrane. Overall, genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane showed low toxicity, good cell attachment and growth of human foreskin fibroblasts. After the cell culture study, the degradation of genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane was investigated by scanning electron microscope. Therefore, genipin-crosslinked PVA membrane is a biodegradable material and which can apply in soft tissue engineering due to its good elastic behavior.

      • The Immunotyping Distribution of Serum Monoclonal Paraprotein and Environmental Impact on Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Monoclonal Gammopathy of Uncertain Significance (MGUS) in Taiwan: A Medical Center-Based Experience

        Chang, Chih-Chun,Su, Ming-Jang,Lee, Shu-Jene,Tsai, Yu-Hui,Kuo, Lin-Yin,Lin, I-Hsin,Huang, Hui-Ling,Yen, Tzung-Hai,Chu, Fang-Yeh Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2016 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.17 No.1

        Background: Whether ambient exposure to environmental pollutants leads to hematopoietic malignancies such as multiple myeloma (MM) remains to be ascertained. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the immunotyping distribution of serum monoclonal paraprotein and the environmental influence on MM and monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS) in the Taiwanese population. Materials and Methods: Serum protein electrophoresis with immunosubtraction by the capillary zone electrophoresis method was performed as primary screening for MM and MGUS. Clinical, pathological, and residence data of patients were also obtained. Results: From August, 2013 to June, 2015, a total of 327 patients underwent serum protein electrophoresis with immunosubtraction. Among these, 281 demonstrated no remarkable findings or non-malignant oligoclonal gammopathy, 23 were detected to have MGUS, 18 were identified as MM, and a further 5 were found as other malignancies. The most frequent immunotyping distribution of serum monoclonal paraprotein was IgG kappa (54.3%, n=25), followed by IgA lambda (15.2%, n=7) and IgG lambda (10.9%, n=5) in subjects with gammopathy. Additionally, it was shown that the elderly (OR: 4.61, 95% CI: 1.88-11.30, P<0.01) and males (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.04-4.02, P=0.04) had significantly higher risk of developing MM and MGUS. There was no obvious impact of environmental factors on the health risk of MM and MGUS evolution (OR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.40-1.50, P=0.49). Conclusions: The most frequent immunotyping distribution of serum monoclonal paraprotein included IgG kappa, IgA lambda and IgG lambda in MM and MGUS in the Taiwanese population. The elderly and male subjects are at significantly higher risk of MM and MGUS development, but there was no obvious impact of environmental factors on risk.
