Clinical Significance of Serum Soluble Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecular - 1 and Immunoglobulin Anti - Endothelial Cells Antibodies in Children with Henoch - Schonlein Purpura / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore clinical significence of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular(SVCAM - 1),immunoglobulin A (IgA) anti- endothelial cells antibodies(AECA) in Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP) and their relationships. Methods SVCAM-1 were detected by ELISA between 55 cases with HSP (40 cases in acute stage and 15 cases in recovery) and 20 controls. Results The levels of serum SVCAM - 1 of the HSPN cases were significantly increased compared with the other HSP. In addition, the serum level of SVCAM - 1 in acute stage HSP children was significantly higher than that in recovery stage and normal controls. IgA AECA positive rate in HSPN was higher than that of without nephritis group. The level of serum SVCAM - 1 in IgA AECA positive children was higher than that of IgA AECA negative children. Conclusion SVCAM - 1 and IgA AECA may participate in the pathogegesis of HSP, and the level of molecule is correlated with the progress of HSP.

Relation between Levels of Immunoglobulin G Subclass and Early Renal Injury in Children with Henoch - Schon- lein Purpura Nephritis / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore clinical significance of immunoglobulin G(IgG) subclass and the relationship with urine enzyme series and four microalbumen in Henoch - Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN). Methods IgG subclass, urine enzyme series, microal-bumen were detected between 28 cases with HSPN and 20 controls. Results The levels of IgG1, IgG2 in HSPN significantly decreased compared with the normal controls. In addition, the levels of IgG, were negative related to microalbumin(MA) and alkaline phosphalase (ALP) in HSPN, P

Survey Analysis on Blood Lead Level of Children in Jinchang City of Gansu Province / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To estimate blood lead level of children in Jinchang city of Gansu province.Methods According to relevant request,256 children(male 133,female 123) aged 2-7 years from some kindergartens in Jinchang city were randornly selected from Oct. 2004 to Jun. 2005. Blood lead level was measured by atom-absorbing graphiteingle method.Results The average blood lead level of 256 children was(126.30?52.98)?g/L.The lowest blood lead level was 28.3 ?g/L while the highest was 268.0 ?g/L.And 160 children(62.54%) were found with a blood lead level ≥100 ?g/L(the diagnostic level of lead poisoning in children).The blood lead level became higher with the increase of children′s age,as groups aged 2-3 years group were lower than aged 5-6 years and 6-7 years groups,of which the differenes had statistical significance(P0.05).Conclusion Blood lead levels of children in Jinchang city and prevalence of lead poisoning are both relatively higher,to which enough attention shall be paid.

Changes of urine enzyme series and analysis of the related factors in 4 clinical types of purpuric nephritis / 实用儿科临床杂志

control group from the high to the low. When the typeⅢand type Ⅳglomerular function was changed (BUN and BCr in high value),the drainage quantity of the enzymes evidently increased.Conclusions Urine enzyme series can sensitively reflect the damage of renal tubules in early stage, even if BUN and BCr value is on the normal level , and the drainage quantity of these enzymes are changed more or less, which show that renal tubule damage exists. The value of BUN and BCr is positively correlated with the drainage quantity of these enzymes.the more urine enzymes are drained out, the more renal tubule function is involved, therefore, the more renal globe function is damaged.
