Abstract: Objective To explore the effect and safety of three non-invasive immune rejection monitor techniques including intramyocardial electrogram (IMEG),tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and multiple rejection relative genes expression detection in the peripheral blood.Methods Totally 103 well recovered heart transplant cases were recruited The IMEG,TDI and gene expression detection techniques were used to monitor the rejection.The endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) was performed routinely after 1,3,and 12 months,or with clinic severe symptom,or with obvious abnormal noninvasive monitoring results,The patients were divided into different groups and were subjected to the test of TDI and quantitative real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) technique test to observe the expression patterns of 16 immune rejection relative genes after heart transplantation.Results were also compared with those of the normal people.Results The sensitivity of IMEG was 92.9%,the specificity was 99.2%,positive predictive rate was 70.0%,and negative predictable rate was 99.8%.The routine echo can only detect the abnormality in the severe cardiac function impair.The TDI parameters in the grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ rejection group were decreased as compared with the controls (P<0.05).The parameters Em,Sm and Tem were significantly reduced in grade ≥Ⅱ group as compared with the grade 0 or Ⅰ rejection group (P<0.05).On the onset of acute rejection,the expression of ITGA4,FKB and IL1R2 was up-regulated,and that of PF4,ITGAM,TGF-β1and RHOU was down-regulated.Conclusion The high negative prediction of the IMEG could be used as a non-invasive,convenient and safe monitoring technique for rejection reaction without any biopsies.It has a better correlation to use TDI and the Em,Am,Tem,Sm and Tsm could be used as the early sensentive parameters to detect the immune rejection.The real time quantitation RT-PCR methods were constructed successfully to detect the multiple immune relative genes expression and had clinic application value.
