RESUMO
Objective:To analyze characteristics and trends of histopathological diagnosis of adult renal biopsy in Beijing from 2008 to 2020.Methods:A total of 4 652 cases of adult renal biopsy were collected from three hospitals in Beijing between 2008 and 2020. The patients were divided into three age groups: 18-40 years, 40-65 years and≥ 65 years; and also divided into three period: 2008-2011, 2012-2015, and 2016-2020. The pathological characteristics and changes of renal biopsy were analyzed in three age groups at different periods.Results:Among 4 652 cases primary glomerular disease accounted for 81.8%, the membranous nephropathy (MN, 32.4%, 1 509/4 652), IgA nephropathy (IgAN, 29.2%, 1 356/4 652) and minor glomerular abnormalities (MGA, 11.3%, 526/4 652) were the top three pathological types. The overall proportion of MN and diabetic nephropathy (DN) increased from 20.3% and 2.3% in 2008-2011 to 37.3% and 10.1% in 2016-2020) (χ2=99.9 and 96.1, both P<0.01), respectively. For age group 18-40 years, the MN and DN increased from 11.2% and 1.6% in 2008-2011 to 24.7% and 5.5% in 2016-2020 (χ2=32.7 and 20.7, both P<0.01), respectively. For age group 40-65 years the MN and DN increased from 26.6% and 3.2% in 2008-2011 to 41.5% and 13.1% in 2016-2020 (χ2=39.1 and 57.3, both P<0.01), respectively. For age group≥65 years the MN was the most common pathological type in the three periods, fluctuating between 41.3% and 55.0% (χ2=5.2, P=0.08); and DN increased from 0(0/63) in 2008-2011 to 7.5%(22/292) in 2016-2020 (χ2=8.1, P=0.02). Conclusion:The renal biopsy data show that membranous nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy are the most common primary and secondary adult glomerular diseases in Beijing recently.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the treatment of lateral tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral condyle with double plate fixation via the combined anterolateral and posterolateral approaches.Methods From January 2013 to August 2015,12 patients with lateral tibial plateau fracture involving the posterolateral condyle were treated by double plate fixation via the combined anterolateral and posterolateral approaches.They were 8 males and 4 females,with an average age of 36.9 years (range,from 23 to 58 years).According to the Schatzker classification,we had 8 ones of type Ⅱ,3 ones of type Ⅴ and one of type Ⅵ.Firstly,the posterolateral condylar fractures were stabilized temporarily by the Kirschner wire after reduction through the posterolateral approach.Secondly,the lateral tibial plateau fractures were dealt with via the anterolateral approach,and fixated with a proximal tibial locking plate.Finally,a T-shaped plate for the distal radius was used to support the posterolateral condyle.The clinical and radiographic results were evaluated using the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and the Rasmussen Score,respectively.Results The average operative time was 143.3 min (range,from 110 to 210 min);the average intraoperative blood loss was 190.0 mL (range,from 100 to 300 mL).The follow-ups for the 12 cases ranged from 12 to 24 months (average,16.6 months).All the cases obtained clinical healing after 12 to 24 weeks (average,16 weeks).At the last follow-up,the HSS knee-scores ranged from 65 to 98 points (average,84.6 points),giving 7 excellent cases,3 good ones and 2 fair ones.The Rasmussen radiological scores ranged from 13 to 18 points (average,17.1 points),giving 8 excellent and 4 good cases.Conclusions The combined anterolateral and posterolateral approaches can offer excellent exposure for articular reduction and fixation with double plates,achieving satisfactory radiological and functional results in lateral tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral condyle.First reduction of the posterior lateral condylar fractures,followed by reduction and fixation of the anterolateral plateau fractures and finally fixation of the lateral condylar fractures,can lead to effectively improved knee function for the patients.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of quercetin on ADMA induced endoplasmic reticulum stress responses (ER stress).Methods Human umbilical veins endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured,and left untreated or challenged for 24h with 100μmol/L ADMA in the absence and presence of 20μmol/L quercetin,the PERK and IRE1 was determined by Western blot.ATF4 and CHOP mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Cells apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Results ADMA induced HUVECs apoptosis.Quercetin inhibited ADMA-induced PERK and IRE1 protein expression and ATF4 and CHOP mRNA expression.At last,Quercetin inhibited ADMA-induced cells apoptosis.Conclusion ADMA induced ER stress and HUVECs apotosis while quercetin inhibited ADMA-induced ER stress and apoptosis.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of the early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) classification criteria for early RA and to assess the clinical efficacy of knee arthroscopic synovectomy for RA.Methods A total of 62 patients who had arthritic complaints with disease duration less than one year were treated with knee arthroscopic synovectomy.Patients were diagnosed as RA confirmed by changes of synoviomorphous under arthroscopy,synovial biopsy,immunological biochemical laboratory and MRI,and compared with the preoperative ERA diagnosis.The efficacy was assessed at the third months and more than 12 months after operation,including Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ),Lysholm score,laboratory parameters of erythrocyte sedi-mentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP).Results The sensitivity and specificity in the early RA classification criteria for RA diagnosis were 81.58％ and 91.67％.38 patients diagnosed as RA and the remaining 24 patients were significantly improved of HAQ,Lysholm score,ESR,CRP compared with preoperation,showed statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01).There were still statistical differences between the follow-up results of the group of patients with RA in different period after operation (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The early RA classification criteria is worthy of clinical application,because it has the advantages of simple,practical,and is beneficial to early diagnosis of RA.The early RA patients should be treated with knee arthroscopic synovectomy as far as possible.It can improve not only the knee function,but also the general symptoms,and it can interrupt the RA pathological process,effective maintain curative effect after operation.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Because of osteoporosis, short-segment transpedicular fixation or screw-rod system fixation is prone to screw loosening depending on its poor anti-pul-out strength in patients with thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis. OBJECTIVE:To probe the clinic outcomes of multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation for thoracolumbar fractures with ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS:Eleven patients with ankylosing spondylitis combined with thoracolumbar fracture in the Fourth Department of Orthopedics, Meizhou Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, China from January 2009 to December 2012 were selected. Al the patients underwent posterior reduction and multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation, among whom, six cases were subjected to internal fixation through the pedicle of fractured vertebra. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the 11 patients were fol owed up for 13 to 36 months. Solid bone healing was achieved in al of the patients, and there were no complications related to the internal fixation systems such as loosening or breakage. Three cases of spinal cord injury achieved Frankel’s class E from class C recovery. Lumbodorsal pain rate achieved 100%according to the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring. Results confirmed that it is effective to treat thoracolumbar fractures with ankylosing spondylitis by posterior reduction and multi-segment transpedicle spinal fixation. Strong internal fixation and fracture union can be achieved by operation.
