ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)complicated with thrombotic microangiopathy(TMA)for early recognition.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 14 SLE patients with TMA hospitalized at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from December 2005 to October 2020.Results:The incidence of TMA was 5.65%(14/248)of the hospitalized patients with SLE and 7.87%(14/178)of the hospitalized patients with lupus nephritis.Four patients were boys while ten patients were girls.One boy was six years old and other 13 patients were from 11 to 18 years old.Their SLEDAI scores ranged from 14 to 31, and all of them were severe activity.Renal biopsy of 11 patients during TMA course all revealed lupus nephritis(type Ⅳ, n=8; type Ⅳ+ Ⅴ, n=3). These 14 SLE children were diagnosed with TMA within 3 days to 2 months after admission.At the beginning of the hospitalization, only six patients had both anemia and thrombocytopenia, while eight patients only had moderate anemia.All of the patients had obvious hypocomplementemia.Especially in the patients with first onset of SLE without treatment, their serum levels of C3 were less than 0.17 g/L and C4 were less than 0.07 g/L.Moreover, glomerular filtration rates of these patients were lower than that in normal range.The follow-up time were 0.2-11.3 years(median time was 2.6 years). After treatment, six patients obtained complete remission, and five patients obtained partial remission.One patient had sudden death during the 4th plasmapheresis, and the other two patients deteriorated. Conclusion:Children with SLE and TMA are mostly in severe disease activity, and renal pathology is type Ⅳ lupus nephritis.The SLE children with anemia should be paid special attention to the level of serum complement whether they have thrombocytopenia or not.If the level of serum complements decrease obviously, glomerular filtration rates should be monitored closely and schistocytes should be searched repeatedly in the blood smears of the peripheral blood to facilitate the early recognition of TMA.

ABSTRACT

The most common metastatic site of prostate cancer is the bone, followed by the lung, bladder, liver, and adrenal gland. We report on a rare case of pancreatic metastasis from prostate cancer. A 52-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with epigastric pain for 20 days. PET-CT showed malignant lesions in the prostate and pancreas, and prostate and pancreas puncture biopsies were performed, respectively. The patient was diagnosed as prostate cancer with pancreatic metastasis according to the pathological findings. After undergoing androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel chemotherapy for 6 cycles, reexamination revealed that the pancreatic metastases had disappeared.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the clinical significance of combined examinations for neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and fecal occult blood (OB) in the differential diagnosis of Crohn′s disease and irritable bowel syndrome. @*Methods@#A total of 129 patients with Crohn′s disease and 120 patients with irritable bowel syndrome from October 2014 to October 2017 in Changhai Hospital were enrolled in this study. The results of NLR, CRP, ESR and OB were recorded. Logistic regression was used to study the association of the four indicators. The combined impact of the four indicators was explored with multivariable regression. ROC curve was used to compare the diagnostic value of the combined examinations with the four indicators for Crohn′s disease. The diagnosis was performed by substituting the data of individual patient into regression model. @*Results@#The levels of NLR, CRP, ESR and OB in Crohn′s disease group were higher than those in irritable bowel syndrome group (Z=-7.067--4.148, P<0.01). The area under the curve of combined diagnostic indicator was 0.881, which was higher than that of single NLR, CRP, ESR or OB (0.759, 0.695, 0.652, 0.643) respectively (Z=3.19-5.60, P<0.01). When the cutoff value was 0.498, the sensitivity was 79.1%, the specificity was 83.3% and the diagnostic accuracy was 81.1%. A patient who was not included within the statistical range of this experimental study was randomly assigned to the model and 0.831 of P value was obtained, which was higher than the cutoff value of 0.498, indicating that the patient suffered from Crohn′s disease with accuracy of 81.1%. @*Conclusion@#The logistic regression model established with the combined diagnostic indicators, which was formulated by examinations of NLR, CRP, ESR and OB, exhibited higher diagnostic value than any single indicator in the differential diagnosis of Crohn′s disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil-based induction or maintenance therapy for children with lupus nephritis combined with Calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine A/tacrolimus) for resistant cases.Methods the clinical data were analyzed for 10 patients treated with multi-target therapy (Glucocorticoid + Mycophenolate mofetile+ Cyclosporine A/Tacrolimus) in Department of Nephrology and Rheumatology from January 2005 to December 2011.Calcineurin inhibitor (Cyclosporine A/Tacrolimus) was added when Mycophenolate mofetil-based induction or maintenance protocol was not satisfactory.The data was analyzed by repeated measures data of ANOVA.Results The SLEDAI score (10.9±3.8 vs 7.9±2.6),24 hours urinary protein quantification [(4.0±2.0) vs (2.2±1.8) g] and ESR [(78±10) vs (54±8) mm/l h] were decreased significantly (P<0.01),while serum albumin [(29±8) vs (34±8) g/L] and complement C3 level [(0.41±0.20) vs (0.70±0.30) g/L] were increased significantly (P<0.05).The complete remission rate (CR) was 70% and the response rate was 90% in the first 6 month,and the CR was 90% in the last month.Except 1 case withdrawal,the follow-up period for 9 cases was 24 months.Adverse reactions were rare,1 case had lung in-fection,1 case had hyperglycemia and 1 case had transaminase elevation,which disappeared after mana-gement.Conclusion Mycophenolate mofetil combined with Calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine A/tacrolimus) is effective for treating lupus nephritis,the dose of induction or maintenance period is low,and adverse reactions are rare.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum ferritin in children with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SO-JIA). Methods Fifty-seven patients with fever of unknown origin (rectal temperature>38.5 ℃ ) over two weeks and hospitalized in our general medicine ward longer than one week were enrolled in this study. Patients were recorded the course of fever, elinieal symptoms and signs including rash and swollen joints/arthralgia, laboratory tests including complete blood cell count, C-reactive protein, erythroeyte sedimentation rate, lactate dehydrogenase and the level of serum ferritin. SPSS 10.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results Two of 57 patients could not be diagnosed before discharge. The other 55 patients whose diagnosis was confirmed were divided into four groups. Twenty-five patients were SO-JIA,12 patients had hematologic or oncological diseases, 12 patients had infectious diseases and 6 patients had other rheumatic diseases. The level of serum ferritin was significantly higher (P<0.01) in SO-JIA group than in other groups. Moreover, the levels of serum ferritin in SO-JIA group were all higher than normal and the levels of serum ferritin in 76% of SO-JIA group were more than five-fold elevation. Four cut-off levels of serum ferritin level for the diagnosis of SO-JIA were selected based on clinical practice and ROC curve. When the cut-off levels of serum ferritin were 328.25, 529.50, 731.05 ng/ml and 1121.10 ng/ml, the sensitivity for the diagnosis were 100%, 88%, 72%, and 64% respectively, the specificity were 77%, 87%, 90% and 100%,respectively. Conclusion Serum ferritin is valuable for the diagnosis of SO-JIA and 529.50 ng/ml may be a good cut-off level

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the diagnosis and radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical feature and the effect of radical resection on 38 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinomas.Results Diagnosis was made in all of the patients preoperatively.The radical resection was perfomed on 38 patients.Of them, 3(7.9%) died after operation.After operation, 5 cases (13.2%) developed bile leakage,and 2 of the 5 cases developed subphrenic abscess,which were cured by drainage; 4(10.5%) had right hydrothorax that was cured by conservative therapy; and 3(7.9%)had incision split that was cured by resuture. Among the 35 postoperative survivors,34 (97.1%) were followed up, the 1- and 3-year survival rates were 91.9% and 35.2%.None of the patients survived for 5 years. Conclusions It′s still difficult to make early diagnosis in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.The diagnosis mainly depends on the combination of imaging examinations. Nowadays the radical resection rate of hilar cholangiocarunoma is still low, the recurrence and metastasis are common after operation, and few patients can survive for a long time. It suggests that even in radical operation for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the regions of resection and sweep are not enough,and the operative procedure needs to improve further.
