Objective: To investigate the changes in the proportion of peripheral blood lymphocytes and the expression of HLA II molecules in lymphocytes during acute rejection after renal transplantation.
Methods: Thirty-five patients who had undergone renal transplantation were selected. Eighteen patients with clinical and pathological confirmed acute rejection were selected as the test group, and twelve patients without clinical acute rejection symptoms were selected as the control group.
Background: Blood gas analyzers (BGAs) and dry biochemistry analyzers for potassium and sodium are based on direct electrode methods, and both involve glucose oxidase for glucose detection. However, data are lacking regarding whether the results of the two assay systems can be used interchangeably. In addition, there remains controversy over the consistency between BGA-measured hemoglobin and complete blood count analyzer data.

Recently, a novel plasmid-mediated resistance-nodulation-division (RND)-type efflux pump gene cluster, , and its variants, and , encoding tetracyclines and tigecycline resistance, were revealed. In this study, we reported three -harboring species strains, collected from two teaching tertiary hospitals in China, including one , one , and one .

However, oral infections caused by these microorganisms have rarely been reported. We present a case of oral infection caused by NOVC in a patient undergoing chemoradiotherapy after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
