Résumé
Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) infection with renal involvement is not common. The paper reported a child of multisystem-compromised CAEBV infection with the onset of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The child presented with intermittent gross hematuria, and renal biopsy showed focal proliferative IgAN, administered methylprednisolone pulse followed by oral prednisolone treatment. Intermittent increase of blood Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) load and abnormal EBV antibody, pneumonia caused by EBV and Staphylococcus aureus-mixed infection, periappendiceal abscess, and pancytopenia occurred during treatment follow-up. The CAEBV infection was considered. Echocardiography suggested pulmonary hypertension. Head CT presented multiple calcifications in the bilateral basal ganglia. Bone marrow biopsy showed bone marrow EBV-DNA 6.5×10 3 copies per liter. Immunohistochemistry of renal biopsy showed about 50 CD8 + (scattered +) cells per high power field (HPF), about 40 CD4 + (focal +) cells per HPF (local), CD68 + (-), latent membrane protein 1 (-), EBV-encoded small RNA (scattered +) approximately 25 cells per HPF. The lymphocyte subsets infected with EBV showed CD4 + T cells EBV-DNA 3.4×10 4 copies per 1 million cells, CD8 + T cells EBV-DNA 3.3×10 5 copies per 1 million cells, B cells EBV-DNA 1.25×10 4 copies per 1 million cells, NK cells/NK T cells EBV-DNA 2.3×10 4 copies per 1 million cells. The clinical diagnosis was CAEBV infection and EBV-associated IgAN. The patient currently receives oral prednisone treatment, and it is recommended to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and treatment is under follow up.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer, and to establish a prediction model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of perirectal fat content and investigate its application value.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was constructed. The clinicopathological data of 254 patients with middle and low rectal cancer who were admitted to Tianjin Union Medical Center from December 2016 to December 2021 were collected. There were 188 males and 66 females, aged (61±9)years. All patients underwent radical resection of rectal cancer and routine pelvic MRI examina-tion. Observation indicators: (1) follow-up and quantitative measurement of perirectal fat content; (2) factors influencing tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer; (3) construction and evaluation of the nomogram prediction model of tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(rang) and M( Q1, Q2). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX regression model. The rms software package (4.1.3 version) was used to construct the nomogram and calibration curve. The survival software package (4.1.3 version) was used to calculate the C-index. The ggDCA software package (4.1.3 version) was used for decision curve analysis. Results:(1) Follow-up and quantitative measurement of perirectal fat content. All 254 patients were followed up for 41.0(range, 1.0?59.0)months after surgery. During the follow-up period, there were 81 patients undergoing tumor recurrence with the time to tumor recurrence as 15.0(range, 1.0?43.0)months, and there were 173 patients without tumor recurrence. The preoperative rectal mesangial fascia envelope volume, preoperative rectal mesangial fat area, preoperative rectal posterior mesangial thickness were 159.1(68.6,266.5)cm3, 17.0(5.1,34.4)cm2, 1.2(0.4,3.2)cm in the 81 patients with tumor recurrence, and 178.5(100.1,310.1)cm3, 19.8(5.3,40.2)cm2 and 1.6(0.3,3.7)cm in the 173 patients without tumor recurrence. (2) Factors influencing tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer. Results of multivariate analysis showed that poorly differentiated tumor, tumor pathological N staging as N1?N2 stage, rectal posterior mesangial thickness ≤1.43 cm, magnetic resonance extra mural vascular invasion, tumor invasion surrounding structures were independent risk factors of tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer ( hazard ratio=1.64, 2.20, 3.19, 1.69, 4.20, 95% confidence interval as 1.03?2.61, 1.29?3.74, 1.78?5.71, 1.02?2.81, 2.05?8.63, P<0.05). (3) Construction and evaluation of the nomogram prediction model of tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer. Based on the results of multivariate analysis, the tumor differentiation, tumor pathological N staging, rectal posterior mesangial thickness, magnetic resonance extra mural vascular invasion, tumor invasion surrounding structures were included to construct the nomogram predic-tion model of tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer. The total score of these index in the nomogram prediction model corresponded to the probability of post-operative tumor recurrence. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.80, indicating that the prediction model with good prediction accuracy. Results of calibration curve showed that the nomogram prediction model with good prediction ability. Results of decision curve showed that the prediction probability threshold range was wide when the nomogram prediction model had obvious net benefit rate, and the model had good clinical practicability. Conclusions:Poorly differentiated tumor, tumor pathological N staging as N1?N2 stage, rectal posterior mesangial thickness ≤1.43 cm, magnetic resonance extra mural vascular invasion, tumor invasion surrounding structures are independent risk factors of tumor recurrence after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer. Nomogram prediction model based on MRI measurement of perirectal fat content can effectively predict the probability of postoperative tumor recurrence.

OBJECTIVE@#To detect genetic variant in a sib-pair with Finnish type congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNF).@*METHODS@#Clinical data of the sib-pair was reviewed. Coding regions of the NPHS1 gene was analyzed for the sib-pair and both parents.@*RESULTS@#The sister and brother respectively developed severe proteinuria 1 month and 28 days after birth, in addition with low serum albumin, hypercholesterolemia and severe edema, which were suggestive of CNF. Genetic testing identified that the sib-pair has both carried two heterozygous variants of NPHS1 gene, namely c.2605G>C (p.P869>A) and c.-61G>A, for which their father and mother were heterozygous carriers.@*CONCLUSION@#The c.2605G>C (p.869P>A) and c.-61G>A variants of the NHPS1 gene probably underlay the CNF in both sibs. The c.2605G>C(p.869P>A) was unreported previously.

Objective@#To investigate the clinical significance of detection of urine renal injury biomarkers in children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS).@*Methods@#Seventy-nine children with PNS at the Department of Nephrology, Tianjin Children′s Hospital were enrolled from January to December 2016, who were given sufficient glucocorticoid for 4 weeks.According to the response to glucocorticoid, they were divided into steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) group (63 cases) and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) group (16 cases), then they were divided into simple type and nephritic type according to diagnostic criteria.Urinary levels of microalbuminuria (MAlb), transferrin (TfR), retinal binding protein (RBP), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), α1-microglobulin (α1-MG) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) were measured in the children before and after treatment, and the data were analyzed by the statistical method.@*Results@#Before treatment, the levels of RBP, NAG, α1-MG and β2-MG in the SSNS group [0.91(1.80) mg/L, 28.00(31.5) U/L, 8.40(14.2) mg/L, 0.45(0.35) mg/L]were lower than those in SRNS group[3.94(4.82) mg/L, 37.10(18.20) U/L, 11.10(21.42) mg/L, 0.66(1.41) mg/L], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); After treatment, the MAlb, TfR, RBP, NAG, α1-MG, β2-MG in the SSNS group [14.10(5.60) mg/L, 0.40(1.60) mg/L, 0.26(0.38) mg/L, 7.90(9.10) U/L, 2.00(4.40) mg/L, 0.27(0.35) mg/L] were lower than those before treatment[MAlb: 1 704.00(1 995.60) mg/L, TfR: 142.10(81.90) mg/L] and those after treatment in the SRNS group[557.90(1 857.17) mg/L, 117.40(102.10) mg/L, 4.19(5.15) mg/L, 38.80(32.43) U/L, 10.85(16.60) mg/L, 0.63(0.91) mg/L], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, before and after treatment, except for MAlb[before treatment: 2 258.75(2 028.43) mg/L], the indicators in the SRNS group were not significantly improved.Before treatment, the RBP in the SRNS group was significantly higher than that in the SSNS group in children with simple type PNS, and the RBP, NAG, α1-MG and β2-MG in the SRNS group were significantly higher than those in the SSNS group in children with nephritic type PNS (all P<0.05). According to receiver operating characteristic curve, there were obvious differences in the urinary levels of RBP, NAG and β2-MG, and area under curve(AUC) was 0.858, 0.837 and 0.679, respectively, all of which were <0.9, so the value of diagnosis was not high.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify RBP and NAG as influencing factors and to establish a model.Through the combined detection of these two indicators, the diagnostic value was higher (AUC was 0.956), and when the diagnostic sensitivity was 93.8%, the specificity could reach 82.5%.@*Conclusions@#Urinary RBP, NAG, α1-MG and β2-MG can early reflect tubular interstitial impairment in children with PNS, especially SRNS.Combined detection of RBP and NAG has certain value in predicting the efficacy of glucocorticoid.

Objective@#To investigate the drug resistance and risk factors of community-acquired urinary tract infection(UTI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBLs)-producing Escherichia coli in children.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 125 children with community-acquired urinary tract infection caused by Escherichia coli were analyzed, who were hospitalized at Department of Pediatric Nephrology of Tianjin Children′s Hospital from June 2017 to June 2018.The ESBLs-producing group and the non ESBLs-producing group were named depending on the production of the ESBLs.WHONET 5.6 bacterial resistance monitoring software was used to calculate the drug resistance rate of bacteria.The drug resistance rate and clinical data were analyzed by adopting χ2 test and Fisher′s exact probability method, then, factors with statistical significance identified by single factor analysis were further analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.@*Results@#Among 125 strains of Escherichia coli, 68 strains(54.4%) were ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and 57 strains(45.6%) were non ESBLs-producing.The drug resistance rates of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli to penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones and monocyclic beta-lactams were higher than those of non ESBLs-producing strains, and the drug resistance rates to Ampicillin, Piperacillin, Cefazolin, Cefuroxime, Ceftriaxone and Cefotaxime were nearly 100%.The resistance rates of ESBLs-producing strains to Imipenem, Meropenem, Amikacin, Furantoin, Cefotetan and Piperacillin/Tazobactam were lower (< 5%). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in recurrent UTI (χ2=12.043, P<0.01) and use of third-generation cephalosporins in the past 3 months(χ2=28.545, P<0.01) between ESBLs-producing group and non ESBLs-producing group.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that use of third-generation cephalosporins in the past 3 months was an independent risk factor of community-acquired UTI caused by ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli(OR=11.285, 95%CI: 3.140-39.134, Wald=13.972, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#The isolation rate of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli in children with community-acquired UTI is high, and the drug resistance rate is high, so children who used third-generation cephalosporins in the past 3 months were more likely to develop community-acquired UTI caused by ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli.

Objective To observe the effects and safety of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) combined with Huaiqihuang on frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) in children. Methods Fifty-five child patients with FRNS were divided into control group, which was given glucocorticoid (GC) to maintain the treatment (group A, n=10), Huaiqihuang group (group B, n=17), ACTH group (group C, n=14) and ACTH combined with Huaiqihuang group (combined treatment group, group D, n=14). Continuous treatment was for 12 months. The GC treatment doses, the levels of basal secretion of adrenal cortex and adrenal cortex reserve were recorded at 6-month and 12-month respectively. And the recurrence rate and adverse reactions were observed in four groups. Results After 6-month treatment, the doses of GC were significantly lower in group C and group D than those in group A and group B (P0.05). After treatment for 6 months and 12 months, the recurrence rates of nephrotic syndrome were significantly lower in group C and group D than those of group A and group B (P<0.05). Conclusion The simple application of ACTH and the combination of Huaiqihuang can relieve the inhibition of long-term using GC on hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis in FRNS patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)combined with Huaiqihuang on hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) in rats. Methods Fifty rats were randomly divided into five groups according to the random number table method:normal control group (group A), prednisone group (group B), Huaiqihuang group (group C), ACTH group (group D) and combined treatment group (group E) with 10 rats in each group. Rats in group B, C, D and E were gavaged by acetic acid prednisone water solution 12.5 mg/(kg · d) for 4 weeks to establish HPA axis suppression model. Group A was given distilled water 10 mL/(kg·d) as control. Rats in group C and E were gavaged with Huaiqihuang 5 g/(kg·d) 30 minutes after intragastric administration of prednisone acetate. At the third week of the experiment, group D and E were subcutaneous injected with ACTH 200 μg/(kg·d). The serum cortisol levels were measured respectively at the start of the ex?periment, 2 weeks and 4 weeks of experiment. Animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, and then weights of the pituitary, adrenal glands and the viscera index were calculated. The pathological changes of the pituitary and adrenal glands were observed by HE stainning. Results After 2 weeks, the serum cortisol levels were significantly lower in group B, C, D and E than those of group A (Pgroup D>group C (P<0.05). At the same time, the weights of pituitary and adrenal gland and the viscera in?dex were higher in the three groups than those of B group (P<0.05). The HE staining showed that there were no significant changes in the distal part of the pituitary gland in five groups. The adrenal cortex zona was thinning and the structure was dis?ordered in group B. There were different degrees of hyperplasia in group C, group D, and group E, which was the most obvi?ous in group E. Conclusion ACTH combined with Huaiqihuang can promote adrenal cortex zona hyperplasia and cortisol secretion, which reduces the glucocorticoid induced inhibition of HPA axis in rats.

Objective To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on quantitative analysis of re?nal cortex perfusion in hypertensive rabbits model. Methods Hypertensive rabbit modal (n=10) were established by inject?ing N-nitro-L-arginin methylester (L-NAME). CEUS and Cystatin C (CysC) serum level analysis were performed at differ?ent time points:before and the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th week after injecting L-NAME. Time-intensity curve and area under curve (AUC) were analyzed quantatively while correlation of AUC and CysC were also analyzed. Results Serum level of Cys C in?creased significantly at the 6th week after L-NAME administration which is earlier than the increase of serum levels of Scr and BUN. AUC decreased at first then increased after L-NAME administration. Upon addition of L-NAME, rise time (RT) and peak intensity (PI) decreased while mean transit time (MTT), time from peak to one half (HPT) and time to peak (TTP) in?creased. Our study confirmed a positive correlation between AUC and Cys C (r=0.950, P<0.001). Conclusion Setting up rabbits model by L-NAME is convenient and reproducible, which is an useful tool in experimental study of preclinical and clinical phase of hypertensive renal injury. CEUS combining with CysC serum level analysis is considered as an effective technology for evaluating renal function in hypertensive patients.

Objective To explore the effect of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRAs,montelukast) on serum indicators,urine indicators,renal pathology,intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),nephrin and podocalyxin on renal tissue in adriamycin(ADR)-induced nephropathy(ADN) rats.Methods ADN was induced through a tail intravenons injection of ADR.The 40 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:group A (control group),group B(ADN group),group C(prednisone-treated group),group D(montelukast-treated group) and group E (prednisone and montelukast-treated group).Twenty-four-hour urinary protein (24 h-up) and serum index were measured serially in the 4th,8th week and the values of creatinine clearance rate(Ccr) were calculated.At the end of the 8th week,all rats were sacrificed to collect kidney tissues for microscopy observation of renal pathological changes.The expression of nephrin,podocalyxin and ICAM-1 in renal tissues were detected through immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared with group A,in the 4th week,24 h-up and albumin reached the level of ADR nephropathy model.Compared with group B,in the 8th week,24 h-up,cholesterol,serum creatinine and renal pathology changes in the 3 treated groups were significantly reduced (P < 0.05),but serum total protein,albumin and Ccr significantly increased (P < 0.05),while extracellular matrix/glomerulararea and renal pathology score significantly reduced (P < 0.01),and ICAM-1 significantly decreased(P <0.01).Compared with group C and group D,expressions of nephrin and podocalyxin in group E were the highest.Besides,the curative effect of integrated treatment was better than other treatments.Conclusions Maybe through inhibition of ICAM-1,LTRAs had a protective effect on renal tissue.The integrated treatment of LTRAs with prednisone has a synergistic effect and drug effect is superior to any drug alone in ADN.
Résumé
Objective To explore the diagnosis and of immune neutopenia.Methods Clinical data of 150 patients with immune neutropenia were collected and analyzed.Results Of 150 patients with immune neutropenia,35 cases went male(23.3%),115 cases were female(76.7%),and male to female ratio was 1 ∶ 3.3.Based on the difference produced way of granulocytes associated antibody,all patients could be divided into alloimmune neonatal neutropenia 9 cases (6.0%),drug-induced immune neutropenia 28 cases (18.7 %),primary autoimmune neutropenia 22 cases(14.6%),and secondary autoimmune neutropenia 91 cases (60.7%).Secondary autoimmune neutropenia included 39 cases of systemic lupus erythematous,21 cases of rheumatoid arthritis,2 cases of immune hemolytic anemia accompany with neutropenia,6 cases of immune thrombocytopenia accompany with neutropenia,3 cases of autoimmune hepatitis,16 cases of autoimmune thyroiditis,and 4 cases of Sjogren's syndrome.Conclusion The majority of primary immune neutropenia are female,which is usually secondary to autoimmune diseases.The diagnosis of primary immune neutropenia is very complicated,which requires a long period of clinical observation and follow-up.The majority of granulocytes associated antibody is IgG in the autoimmune neutropenia patients.Yet sometimes two or three kinds of antibodies were increased as well.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the effects of azithromycin on serum indicators, urine indicators, renal pathology, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), nephrin and podocalyxin in adriamycin(ADR)-induced nephropathy(ADN) rats. Methods ADR nephropathy was induced by a tail intravenous injection of ADR. The rats were randomly divided into azithromycin-treated group, prednisone -treated group, integrated treatment group, model group and control group. Serum index and 24 h urine protein were measured serially at 0, 4th, 8th weeks. The values of creatinine clearance (Ccr) were calculated. Kidney tissues were collected for microscopy observation. The expressions of nephrin, podocalyxin and ICAM-1 in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry SP. Results Compared with normal control group, at the 4th week, 24 hours urine protein and albumin reached the level of ADR nephropathy model. Compared with model group, at the 8th week, 24 h urine protein, cholesterol, serum creatinine, renal pathology changes in the three treated group rats were significantly reduced (P<0.05), serum total protein, albumin and Ccr (except C group) significantly raised (P<0.05), ECM/GA and renal pathology score significantly reduced (P<0.01), ICAM-1 significantly decreased (P<0.01), nephrin and podocalyxin significantly increased. Besides, the curative effect of integrated treatment was better than other treatment group. Conclusions Azithromycin induces similar responses in ADR nephropathy as prednisone, but its early protective effect of renal function is worse than prednisone.The integrated treatment of azithromycin and prednisone has a synergistic effect, and the efficacy is superior to each drug alone.
Résumé
Objective To explore the influencing factors of frequent relapse primary nephritic syndrome (PNS) in children according to the statistical analysis of their clinical data and laboratory examinations. Method We collected in-hospital and out-patient medical records of children who were diagnosed PNS from Jan. 2007 to Feb. 2010 and whole clinical data were analyzed. Results In 245 cases of children with steroid sensitine nephrotic syndrome, non-frequent replapse (NFR) accounted for 82.4% and frequent relapse (FR) accounted for 17.6%. In univariate analysis, period of first relapse between initial treatment remission within 3 months , level of serum total protein and cholesterol and IgE at onset had statistical significance in FR children and NFR children, which were significant predictors of FR. The logistic regression analysis revealed that the first relapse after initial treatment remission within 3 months and increasing of serum IgE level (more than 358 IU/ml)were risk factors of FR. Among frequent relapses factors, infection, especially upper respiratory tract infection was the first (65. 1%). The relapse with motivation mainly in January to March, accounted for 30. 4%. Conclusion FR had a proportion of 17. 6% in children with PNS under regular glucocorticoid treatment. It showed seasonality feature that relapse. peak in winter and spring. Level of the serum total protein less than 40g/L and cholesterol more than 10mmol/L at onset can be predictive index of FR. Infections are the main motivation of relapse, but the relapse by irregular treatment and specific constitutions should be pay more attentions too.
