PG490-88, a new immunosuppressant, effectively prevents acute and chronic rejection in rat renal allografts.
PG490-88 is a semisynthetic derivative of the novel compound PG490 (triptolide) purified from a Chinese herb. It has been shown to prolong acute allograft survival in multiple experimental organ transplant models. However, the effect of PG490-88 on prevention of acute and chronic renal allograft rejection has not been determined. Kidneys of ACI or F344 rats were transplanted into bilaterally nephrectomized LEW recipients as the acute or chronic allograft rejection models, respectively. Treatment of LEW recipients with PG490-88 significantly prolonged ACI kidney graft survival in a dose-dependent manner when compared with the untreated allograft controls. LEW recipients of F344 kidney grafts who received PG490-88 for 90 days with a brief course of low-dose FK506 showed normal serum creatinine levels and markedly reduced histological changes of chronic rejection at day 90 after transplantation. These results suggest that PG490-88 significantly prolongs kidney allograft survival in an acute rejection model and prevents chronic allograft rejection in rats.

A perspective on medical infrared imaging.
Since the early days of thermography in the 1950s, image processing techniques, sensitivity of thermal sensors and spatial resolution have progressed greatly, holding out fresh promise for infrared (IR) imaging techniques. Applications in civil, industrial and healthcare fields are thus reaching a high level of technical performance. The relationship between body temperature and disease was documented since 400 bc. In many diseases there are variations in blood flow, and these in turn affect the skin temperature. IR imaging offers a useful and non-invasive approach to the diagnosis and treatment (as therapeutic aids) of many disorders, in particular in the areas of rheumatology, dermatology, orthopaedics and circulatory abnormalities. This paper reviews many usages (and hence the limitations) of thermography in biomedical fields.
