[Kidney injury in transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy].
To study clinicopathological features and mechanism of renal injury in transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA). ⋯ TA-TMA is a rare complication after organ or tissue transplantation. Kidney is often involved in TA-TMA with massive proteinuria, anemia and renal failure. Differential diagnosis should be made between TA-TMA and rejection or other renal diseases. Renal biopsy is a major method for accurate diagnosis. TA-TMA correlates to endothelial cell injury caused by viral infection and/or immunosuppressive drugs for anti-rejection.

Review[Progress in the study of the chemical synapse in glioma-associated epileptogenesis].
Seizures may be the first or sometimes the only manifestation of patients with glioma in clinics. The aim of operation is to eliminate epilepsy far beyond mere resection of tumor mass. ⋯ However, the molecular mechanisms remain to be further investigated on how glutamate release is regulated and how synaptic homeostasis in peripheral neurons is kept or disturbed. So detailed studies are needed to clarify specific molecular target and provide proper evidence for optimal antiepileptic drugs in glioma-associated epileptogenesis.
