ABSTRACT
ChatGPT represents the approaching singularity, which brings opportunity to medical ethics education, but is also constrained by issues such as unfairness, discrimination, and loss of autonomy caused by technological logic. This paper explored the intermediary relationship model of generative AI in medical ethics education, and analyzed the potential positive and negative values of this technology as a human creation, as well as the challenges that ChatGPT brings to medical ethics education. Based on this, suggestions are put for ward from the following four aspects. First, The role division and construction of different responsible subjects was explored based on the change in teacher-student relationship. Second, we shonld cultivate students’ ability to think and question. Third, the forward-looking responsibility was discussed based on the future development of intelligent education. Fourthly, from the perspective of technical logic, it presupposes the coexistence of human-machine dual subjects.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the long-term prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and the risk factors related to renal prognosis in children with IgAN-FSGS.Methods:A retrospective study was concluded in IgAN-FSGS children who were followed up for more than 5 years and diagnosed by renal biopsy for the first time in the Eastern Theater General Hospital from January, 2004 to December, 2018. The end-point events of the study were entering end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased by ≥50% from baseline, which were defined as poor renal prognosis. Baseline clinicopathologic data of IgAN-FSGS children were compared between the end-point event group and the non-end-point event group. The cumulative renal survival rate of IgAN-FSGS children was calculated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The influencing factors of poor renal prognosis in IgAN-FSGS children were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model, and the diagnostic value was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) and area under the curve (AUC). The diagnostic value was verified by time dependent-ROC and time dependent-AUC.Results:A total of 204 IgAN-FSGS children were enrolled in this study, of whom 132 cases were males (64.7%). The median age of renal biopsy was 16 (14, 17) years old. During a median follow-up time of 90.7 (71.7, 114.8) months, 57 cases (27.9%) reached the end-point events. Compared with the non-end-point event group ( n=147), the end-point event group ( n=57) had higher proportions of males and hypertension, higher levels of 24-hour urinary protein, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, urinary N-acetyl-β- D-glucosaminidase, urinary retinol binding protein, higher proportions of glomerular segmental sclerosis (S1) ≥25% and tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T1/T2), and lower levels of serum albumin, serum IgA, and serum IgG (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in treatment (all P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that with entry of ESKD or eGFR decreased by ≥50% from baseline as the end-point events, the 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year cumulative renal survival rates in IgAN-FSGS children were 88.7%, 67.6%, and 50.7%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that proteinuria >1 g/24 h ( HR=3.702, 95% CI 1.657-8.272, P=0.001), hyperuricemia ( HR=3.066, 95% CI 1.793-5.245, P<0.001), S1≥25% ( HR=2.017, 95% CI 1.050-3.874, P=0.035), T1/T2 ( HR=1.863, 95% CI 1.021-3.158, P=0.016) were the independent related factors for poor renal prognosis. ROC curve analysis showed that S1≥25% ( AUC=0.605, P=0.021, sensitivity 26.3%, specificity 94.6%), T1/T2 ( AUC=0.624, P=0.006, sensitivity 43.9%, specificity 81.0%), hyperuricemia ( AUC=0.658, P<0.001, sensitivity 52.6%, specificity 78.9%), proteinuria>1 g/24 h ( AUC=0.670, P<0.001, sensitivity 87.7%, specificity 46.3%) could accurately predict the renal outcome of IgAN-FSGS. Time dependent-ROC curve validation showed that the combined diagnosis of S1≥25%, T1/T2, hyperuricemia and proteinuria>1 g/24 h had a good predictive value for renal prognosis (3-year AUC=0.846 and 5-year AUC=0.777, respectively). Conclusions:During a median follow-up of 90.7 months, 27.9% of IgAN-FSGS children have poor renal prognosis, and the 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year cumulative renal survival rates are 88.7%, 67.6%, and 50.7%, respectively. Urinary protein >1 g/24 h, hyperuricemia, T1/T2, and S1 ≥25% are the risk factors for renal prognosis in IgAN-FSGS children.
ABSTRACT
The paper reports two cases of lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) in children. The Sanger sequencing results in 2 cases indicated apolipoprotein E gene mutation[c.127 (exon3) C>T, p.R43C (p.Arg43Cys); c.494 (exon4) G>C, p.R165P (p.Arg165Pro),respectively]. Renal pathological presentation of two children showed that a large number of lipoprotein emboli were formed in the glomerular capillary loop, and the diagnosis of LPG was confirmed. The onset of LPG has no specific clinical manifestation, which is easy to be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Renal biopsy is a diagnostic means, glucocorticoid treatment is ineffective, and long-term lipid-lowering treatment may be required for LPG.
ABSTRACT
Objectives:To investigate the relationship between visceral adipose index and glomerular filtration rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 1 036 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who received treatment in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2017 to May 2018 were included in this study. The visceral adipose index was detected using a bioresistance assay. These patients were divided into four groups using the quartile method: Visceral adipose index < 8.10 (q1 group, n = 246), 9.60 > visceral adipose index ≥ 8.10 (q2 group, n = 64), 11.10 > visceral adipose index ≥ 9.60 (q3 group, n = 423), visceral adipose index ≥ 11.10 (q4 group, n = 233). One-way analysis of variance was performed to compare the differences among groups. Partial correlation and multiple regression were used to analyze the correlation between body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat content, visceral adipose index, and urinary microalbumin and glomerular filtration rate. Results:With the increase in the visceral adipose index, the glomerular filtration rate gradually decreased. The glomerular filtration rate in the q1, q2, q3, q4 groups was (112.19 ± 31.74) mL·min -1·1.73 m -2, (106.14 ± 28.26) mL·min -1·1.73 m -2, (104.73 ± 23.63) mL·min -1·1.73 m -2, (103.40 ± 27.51) mL·min -1·1.73 m -2, respectively. In the female group, with the increase in visceral adipose index, the glomerular filtration rate decreased gradually. After controlling for age, sex, diabetes, and hypertension, the visceral adipose index was significantly correlated with the glomerular filtration rate ( r = -0.10, P < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that visceral adipose index and waist-to-height ratio were closely related to glomerular filtration rate ( F = 6.00, P < 0.001). Conclusion:With the increase of visceral adipose index, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat content, and urinary microalbumin increased gradually. When the visceral adipose index is greater than 9.60, the glomerular filtration rate is significantly decreased. Therefore, it is suggested to adopt various methods to evaluate obesity in clinical work, and visceral fat index should be paid more attention, especially when the visceral fat index is greater than 9.60.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo study the anxiety and depression status of the third-year junior high school students in Nanning city， and to discuss their relationships with test anxiety， so as to provide references for targeted psychological intervention for students. MethodsFrom May to June， 2021， a simple random sampling method was adopted to randomly enroll three classes of third-grade students from one junior high school in each district and county of Nanning city. The selected students were assessed using Test Anxiety Scale （TAS）， Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS） and Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）. Thereafter， Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the correlation among each scale score. ResultsA total of 2 080 students participated in the survey， and 1 826 （87.79%） valid questionnaires were collected. Among them， 999 students （54.71%） felt uncomfortable due to the test. Anxiety and depression were detected in 577 （31.60%） and 830 （45.45%） students， respectively. TAS score of female students was higher than that of male students ［（16.75±6.78） vs. （15.08±6.97）， t=-5.136， P<0.01］， SAS score of female students was higher than that of male students ［（46.05±10.43） vs. （44.16±10.87）， t=-3.769， P<0.01］， and SDS score of female students was higher than that of male students ［（52.34±12.44） vs. （49.98±12.17）， t=-4.039， P<0.01］. Correlation analysis showed that SAS and SDS scores were positively correlated with TAS score （r=0.574， 0.531， P<0.01）， and the correlation still existed after further controlling for age and gender （r=0.570， 0.526， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe third-year junior high school students in Nanning city suffer a high prevalence rate of anxiety and depression， and the two psychological states have positive relations with TAS. Furthermore， both anxiety and depression are more severe in female students than in male students.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) combined with chemotherapy in the prevention and treatment of postoperative recurrence and metastasis of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) by meta-analysis. Moreover, we evaluated the efficacy of TCM on the quality of life, immune indexes, and toxic and side effects during adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods The CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, and other databases were searched by computer. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched. After literature screening and data extraction, Review Manager 5.3 software provided by Cochrane was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 18 RCTs were included. Compared with chemotherapy alone, TCM combined with chemotherapy could improve the KPS score and CD3+ and CD4+/CD8+ index levels. The incidence rates of postoperative leucopenia, hemoglobin reduction, thrombocytopenia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and neurotoxicity were reduced. In terms of postoperative QLQ-C30 score, abnormal liver function, and abnormal renal function, the incidence of TCM combined chemotherapy was similar to that of chemotherapy alone, with no statistical difference. Compared with chemotherapy alone, TCM combined chemotherapy could reduce the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative recurrence and metastasis rates and prolong the disease-free survival time. Conclusion Compared with chemotherapy alone in adjuvant chemotherapy, TCM combined chemotherapy could improve the immune level and KPS score of LACC patients after surgery, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, as well as reduce the recurrence and metastasis rate of LAGC after surgery and DFS could be improved.
ABSTRACT
Natamycin is a safe and efficient antimycotics which is widely used in food and medicine industry. The polyene macrolide compound, produced by several bacterial species of the genus Streptomyces, is synthesized by type Ⅰ polyketide synthases using acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA, and methylmalonyl-CoA as substrates. In this study, four pathways potentially responsible for the supply of the three precursors were evaluated to identify the effective precursor supply pathway which can support the overproduction of natamycin in Streptomyces gilvosporeus, a natamycin-producing wild-type strain. The results showed that over-expressing acetyl-CoA synthetase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase increased the yield of natamycin by 44.19% and 20.51%, respectively, compared with the wild type strain under shake flask fermentation. Moreover, the yield of natamycin was increased by 66.29% compared with the wild-type strain by co-overexpression of acetyl-CoA synthetase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. The above findings will facilitate natamycin strain improvement as well as development of strains for producing other polyketide compounds.

Objective:To analyze the horizontal scientific research projects from 2015 to 2019 by the provincial Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in China, and to compare the regional differences, in order to provide the suggestion on the scientific management of CDC.Methods:The horizontal scientific research projects from 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed by questionnaire survey. Multiple linear regression models were adopted to examine the trend, and variance analyses were used to test the differences in horizontal scientific research projects among the Eastern, Central, and Western regions.Results:From 2015 to 2019, provincial CDC have received RMB 124.3 million of horizontal scientific research project funds totally, of which 51.9% were funded by enterprises, and 86.9% were undertaken by provincial CDC themselves. There were no statistical significance in the change of research project funds obtained by provincial CDC ( F=0.46, P = 0.764) during this period.The number of horizontal scientific research projects undertook or participated by provincial CDC in the Eastern region were more than that of the Central and Western region ( F = 5.85, P = 0.004; F = 5.03, P = 0.008). Conclusions:The horizontal scientific research projects obtained by the provincial CDC remained stable in recent years while distribution was unbalanced in the region areas. It is suggested to innovate the management mode of scientific research projects with strengthening the trans-agency, trans-department and trans-regional cooperation.
ABSTRACT
This review aims to interpret the interventions to improve physical function for children and young people with cerebral palsy, thus providing relevant suggestions.Relevant literatures published before November 2018 were systematically searched in Cochrane library, CINAHL, and Embase MEDLINE using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation method.Consult with international experts and patients to assess evidence and recommend it.Based on 3 systematic reviews, 30 randomized clinical trials, and 5 pre-and post-treatment studies, a total of 13 recommendations were given.The guidelines recommend that, in order to achieve functional stan-dards, intervention measures should include, patient-selected goals, full-task practice in real-life settings, support for family empowerment, and a team approach.The age, ability, and child/family preferences were all needed to be considered.In order to improve walking ability, ground walking and treadmill training can be carried out.Various methods can promote the realization of hand use goals hand use, including the two-hand exercise training, constraint-induced moverment therapy, goal-oriented training and cognitive therapy.In terms of patient self-care, the guideline proposed that, the combination of full-task practice and auxiliary equipment can improve the independence of self-care and reduce the burden of care givers.Leisure goals could be achieved by the combination of the practice of the entire task with strategies to address environmental, personal, and social barriers.The intervention of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy should take into consideration of patient selection and the goal of full-task practice.The child/family preference, age and ability should be considered when clinical workers selecting specific interventions.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the expressions of CD200 and inducible costimulator (ICOS) protein in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and the relationship with prognosis as well as their significances in the differential diagnosis of AITL.Methods:A total of 39 AITL patients in the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou, the Fourth People's Hospital of Chenzhou, Xiangnan College Affiliated Hospital and Chenzhou 3rd People's Hospital from June 2012 to December 2019, and 10 patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) and 10 patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) from August 2016 to July 2019 in the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou were selected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of CD200, ICOS, CD10, programmed death 1 (PD-1), bcl-6 and CXC chemokine receptor-13 (CXCL13) proteins, and the correlation of CD200 and ICOS with clinicopathological features and prognosis of AITL patients was analyzed, and the diagnostic significance of both in differentiating AITL from PTCL-NOS and CHL was also analyzed.Results:The positive rates of CD200 and ICOS in 39 AITL patients were 71.79% (28/39) and 61.54% (24/39), respectively. There were 7 cases of CD200 weak and moderate positive in 10 CHL patients, and ICOS proteins were all negative. Among 10 PTCL-NOS patients, 4 patients had CD200 positive and 1 patient had ICOS positive. The differences in positive rates of ICOS protein between AITL patients and CHL, PTCL-NOS patients were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); the differences in positive rates of CD200 protein between AITL patients and CHL, PTCL-NOS patients were not statistically significant ( χ2=0.013, P=0.911; χ2=3.551, P=0.060). The positive rate of CD200 in AITL patients with elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and international prognostic index (IPI) score of 3-4 was higher than that in AITL patients with normal LDH and IPI score of 0-2 (both P < 0.05); The positive rate of ICOS in AITL patients with elevated LDH and PD-1 positive was higher than that in AITL patients with normal LDH and PD-1 negative (both P < 0.05). CD200 negative AITL patients had better 3-year overall survival (OS) rate (4.2% vs. 66.7%) and 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate (5.3% vs. 77.1%) compared with those in CD200 positive AITL patients, and the differences between both groups were statistically significant (both P < 0.01); there was a statistically significant difference in 3-year OS rate between ICOS positive AITL patients and ICOS negative AITL patients (15.3% vs. 38.6%, P=0.011), while there was no statistically significant difference in 3-year PFS rate of both groups (18.6% vs. 41.5%, P=0.059). Multivariate analysis showed CD200 ( HR=0.076, 95% CI 1.555-79.497, P=0.001), extranodal involvement or not ( HR=11.117, 95% CI 1.555-79.497, P=0.016) and LDH ( HR=2.147, 95% CI 0.844-5.459, P=0.109) were independent influencing factors of OS in AITL patients; CD200 ( HR=0.075, 95% CI 0.016-0.357, P=0.001) and LDH ( HR=2.335, 95% CI 0.929-5.870, P=0.071) were independent influencing factors of PFS in AITL patients. Conclusions:CD200 and ICOS can be used as immunohistochemical indicators to assist the diagnosis of AITL patients. ICOS protein helps to differentiate AITL from CHL and PTCL-NOS; CD200 can be used as indicators to judge the prognosis and deterioration of AITL patients.
ABSTRACT
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common disease that causes physical disability in children.There are many rehabilitation interventions, which bring great challenges to the choice of clinical programs.Evidence-based me-dicine suggests that antenatal corticosteroids, magnesium sulfate, and neonatal hypothermia are effective prevention stra-tegies for CP.Efficient allied health interventions include constraint-induced movement therapy, goals-activity-motor enrichment, botulinum toxin plus occupational therapy, mobility training, treadmill training, action observation therapy, goal-directed training, bimanual training, oral sensorimotor, oral sensorimotor plus electrical stimulation, stepping stones triple P, acceptance and commitment therapy, and so on.Useful medical and surgical interventions are intrathecal Baclofen therapy, botulinum toxin, botulinum toxin plus casting, Diazepam, selective dorsal rhizotomy, hip surveillance, and so on.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the expressions and correlation of bcl-2, programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) tissue specimens, and the relationship between chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis of DLBCL patients.Methods:The expressions of bcl-2, PD-1 and PD-L1 in 82 patients with DLBCL who were admitted to Chenzhou First People's Hospital of Hunan Province from May 2011 to April 2014 were detected by using immunohistochemistry, and the correlation of the expressions of bcl-2, PD-1 and PD-L1 with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis was analyzed.Results:The positive rate of bcl-2, PD-L1 and PD-1 in cancer tissues of DLBCL patients was 53.7% (44/82), 56.1% (46/82) and 32.9% (27/82), respectively. There was a correlation between bcl-2 and PD-L1 expression ( r = 0.306, P = 0.005). Bcl-2 was highly expressed in patients with international prognosis index (IPI) score 3-4 points, non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) subtype and B symptoms (all P < 0.05); PD-1 was highly expressed in patients with IPI score 3-4 points ( P < 0.05); PD-L1 was highly expressed in patients with IPI score 3-4 points, tumor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, B symptoms, ≥60 years old, and non-GCB (all P < 0.05). The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in bcl-2-negative group were better than those in the bcl-2-positive group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05); OS and PFS in PD-L1-negative group were better than those in PD-L1-positive group, and the differences were statistically significant(both P < 0.01). There were no statistical differences in OS and PFS between PD-1-positive group and PD-1-negative group (both P > 0.05). OS and PFS in bcl-2 and PD-L1 co-expression group were worse than those in both negative or any negative group (all P < 0.01), and PFS in bcl-2 and PD-1 co-expression group was worse than those in both negative or any negative group ( P = 0.044). Cox multivariate analysis showed IPI score 3-4 points and B symptoms were the independent influencing factors of OS in DLBCL patients (both P < 0.01); IPI score 3-4 points, B symptoms and PD-L1-positive were the independent influencing factors of poor PFS in DLBCL patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The positive expressions of bcl-2 and PD-L1 are the independent factors for the poor prognosis of DLBCL patients, which may become new targets for the treatment of DLBCL.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of tonsillectomy combined with glucocorticoids therapy on long-term clinical remission and renal prognosis in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) children with recurrent acute onset history of tonsillitis.Methods:The clinical data of children who were diagnosed with primary IgAN from January 2000 to December 2017 in Jinling Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All participants were treated with long course therapy of glucocorticoids. The children with recurrent acute onset history of tonsillitis were divided into tonsillectomy group and non-tonsillectomy group according to whether to perform tonsillectomy, followed up until the patients' serum creatinine doubled, the estimated glomerular filtration rate decreased by more than 50%, progression to end-stage renal disease, renal replacement therapy or death. The renal survival rate was calculated and compared by Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze the effect of tonsillectomy on the renal prognosis of IgAN children.Results:A total of 120 children with IgAN were enrolled in this study, including 40 cases in tonsillectomy group and 80 cases in non-tonsillectomy group. The median follow-up time was 97.5(57.3, 132.0) months. The clinical remission rate in the tonsillectomy group was higher than that in the non-tonsillectomy group (72.5% vs 45.0%, χ2=8.123, P=0.004). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that there was no significant difference in renal survival rate between the two groups (Log-rank test χ2=0.070, P=0.791). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tonsillectomy was not an independent risk factor affecting renal end-point events in IgAN children ( HR=0.986, 95% CI 0.499-1.948, P=0.967). Conclusions:The clinical remission rate of IgAN children undergoing tonsillectomy is higher than that of children without tonsillectomy. Tonsillectomy is not an independent factor affecting renal end-point events in IgAN children. Tonsillectomy does not delay the time of entry into end-stage renal disease for children with IgAN.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the therapeutic effect of mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) combined with conventional rehabilitation training on children with cerebral palsy (CP).@*Methods@#According to the inclusion criteria, 60 children with CP(spastic diplegia) who were treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University were selected by double-blind method from June to December in 2016.Sixty children with CP were stratified according to age, gender and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) (the subjects were classified into 2 age groups: 0-2 years old and 2-4 years old), and then they were randomly divided by draw method: the control group received routine rehabilitation; the experimental group received mNGF additionally.The children with CP in the experimental group were treated with 18 μg mNGF every day for 10 days and then discontinued for 5 days, with 20 injections per month for 1 course, a total of 3 courses.After 3 courses of treatment, the changes in Gesell Development Diagnosis Schedules (GDDS), Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Gross Motor (PDMS-GM), Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Fine Motor (PDMS-FM) and Range of Motion (ROM) of the lower extremity were compared between the 2 groups.@*Results@#After 3 months of treatment, the changes of Gesell(gross motor: 57.40±18.13, 44.87±10.95; fine motor: 64.83±18.04, 62.60±17.34; adaptability: 76.07±14.99, 70.57±11.19; language: 74.20±15.07, 71.23±13.38, personal-social interaction: 67.40±14.10, 61.40±12.96), PDMS-GM(94.33±16.03, 81.13±20.15), PDMS-FM scores(91.53±19.73, 91.10±15.84) and ROM[adductors angle: left (69.67±22.2)°, (49.17±21.82)°; right (69.83±21.63)°, (49.67±21.61)°; popliteal angle: left (160.08±30.02)°, (125.50±25.78)°; right (160.17±22.46)°, (126.00±25.31)°; dorsal flexion angle of foot: left (10.17±6.09)°, (4.33±7.28)°; right (9.83±6.23)°, (4.83±7.48)°] in the experimental group and the control group were all significantly higher than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment, the Gesell gross motor(57.40±18.13) and PDSM-GM scores(94.33±16.03) in the experimental group were significantly higher than those (44.87±10.95, 81.13±20.15, respectively) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Conventional rehabilitation therapy combined with mNGF has more significant effect on the development and motor function of children with CP than routine rehabilitation training.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical and pathological features and prognosis of children with IgA nephropathy with C1q deposition.@*Methods@#The children with IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy from January 1, 2000 to December 30, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into C1q deposit group and C1q negative group according to glomerular immunofluorescence examination. Follow-up until the patient's serum creatinine doubled, glomerular filtration rate decreased by more than 50%, entering end-stage kidney disease, renal replacement therapy or death. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the renal survival rate in two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the effect of C1q deposition on the prognosis of patients with IgA nephropathy.@*Results@#There were 60 cases in C1q deposition group and 60 cases in C1q negative group. (1) the initial eGFR and plasma albumin in C1q deposition group were lower than those in C1q negative group, while the levels of serum creatinine, serum cholesterol and 24 hour urinary protein in C1q group were higher than those in C1q negative group (all P<0.05). (2) pathological indexes: Mesangial cell proliferation, tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, and cell/fibrocytic crescein score in C1q negative group were significantly higher than those in C1q negative group (all P<0.0.5). (3) Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that there was significant difference in renal cumulative survival rate between the two groups (Log-rank test: χ2=6.801, P=0.009). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that the risk of renal end-point events in IgAN children with C1q deposition group was 5.772 times higher than that in C1q negative group (HR=5.772, 95%CI: 1.353-24.6211, P=0.018).@*Conclusion@#C1q deposition is an independent risk factor for the progress of renal function in IgA nephropathy children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) related sialoadenitis,to analyze the difference between the IgG4 related sialoadenitis and Sj(o)gren'syndrome (SS) and to summarize the treatment method and prognosis of the disease,so as to help clinical diagnosis and appropriate treatment.Methods According to inclusion criteria and exclusione criteria,we collected 12 cases of IgG4 related sialoadenitis patients and 78 cases of SS patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 2015-2017.The clinical manifestations,laboratory test,pathological examinations,imaging examinations and the effects of treatment of IgG4 related sialoadenitis were retrospectively anal-yzed.Several aspects of the examination were compared with SS.The count data was analyzed by chi-square test or Fisher exact probality using Statistical program for social sciences (SPSS) 19.0 software.Results Characteristics of IgG4 related sialoadenitis was that one or more pairs of salivary glands and lacimal glands were enlarged with increasing serum IgG4 levels and IgG4+ plasma cell infiltration.Compared with SS,sialoadenitis enlargement (12/12 vs 18/78,x2=24.339,P＜0.01),dry eyes and mouth (9/12 vs 78/78,P＜0.01),serum IgG4 (12/12 vs 0/78,x2=81.554,P＜0.01),antinuclear antibodies (1/11 vs 78/78,x2=71.030,P＜0.01),anti-SSA antibody (0/9 vs 68/78,x2=31.001,P＜0.01),anti-SSB antibody (0/9 vs 36/78,x2=5.311,P=0.021),anti-Ro-52 antibody (0/9 vs 70/78,x2=-35.824,P＜0.01),infiltration of IgG4 positive plasma cell (12/12 vs 0/78,x2=81.554,P＜0.01),therapeutic efficacy of glucocorticoid (6/6 vs 0/34,P＜0.01) was statistically significant.Conclusion IgG4 related sialoadenitis has remarkable characteristics in clinical manifestations,serology,pathology and imaging examinations.Although IgG4 related sialoadenitis and SS have many similarities,we still need to diagnose the disease as early as possible and set up a reasonable treatment plan for patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features and prognosis of children with IgA nephropathy with C1q deposition. Methods The children with IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy from January 1, 2000 to December 30, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into C1q deposit group and C1q negative group according to glomerular immunofluorescence examination. Follow-up until the patient's serum creatinine doubled, glomerular filtration rate decreased by more than 50％, entering end-stage kidney disease, renal replacement therapy or death. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the renal survival rate in two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the effect of C1q deposition on the prognosis of patients with IgA nephropathy. Results There were 60 cases in C1q deposition group and 60 cases in C1q negative group. (1) the initial eGFR and plasma albumin in C1q deposition group were lower than those in C1q negative group, while the levels of serum creatinine, serum cholesterol and 24 hour urinary protein in C1q group were higher than those in C1q negative group (all P<0.05). (2) pathological indexes:Mesangial cell proliferation, tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, and cell/fibrocytic crescein score in C1q negative group were significantly higher than those in C1q negative group (all P<0.0.5). (3) Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that there was significant difference in renal cumulative survival rate between the two groups (Log-rank test:χ2=6.801, P=0.009). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that the risk of renal end-point events in IgAN children with C1q deposition group was 5.772 times higher than that in C1q negative group (HR=5.772, 95％CI: 1.353-24.6211, P=0.018). Conclusion C1q deposition is an independent risk factor for the progress of renal function in IgA nephropathy children.
