Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(10):1671-1672
Objective To study the relationship between blood lipid levels, insulin therapy of pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism and perinatal outcomes. Methods 380 pregnant women who were diag-nosed and treated for abnormal glucose metabolism were enrolled in this study,including 24 cases with diabetes melli-tus(DM),164 eases with gestation diabetes mellitus (GDM), 192 cases with gestation impaired 81ucose tolerance (GIGT). Among the 380 cases, 136 cases were performed insulin therapy with diet controlling,244 cases diet control-ling. Results The incidence of pre-eclampsia and preterm labor in the DM group(41.7% and 41.7% )was higher than that in GIGT group(15.6% and 20.7%)and GDM group(15.9% and 18. 3%) (P<0.05). Among the three groups ,the incidence of macrosomia, polyhydranmios and fetal distress had no significant difference( P>0.05 ). While the incipience of neonatal asphyxia,hypoglycemia in the DM group were all higher than that in GDM and GIGT group ( P<0.01 ). The newborn weights in insulin therapy group( 2891.5±1330.4 g) was lower than that in diet controlling group(3751.2±1025.3 g) ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion The blood lipid level of pregnant women with gestational ab-normal glucose metabolism is one of the effective indexes to prognose perinatal outcomes. Reducing blood lipid levelcan decrease the incidence of pre-eclampsia and preterm labor,neonatal asphyxia and hypoglycemia significantly. Di-agnosing and beginning therapy as soon as possible and using insulin are important,especially to reduce the rate of macrosomia and newbem weights.

Objective To investigate the prevalence,missed diagnosis rate and causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized children,and its impact on hospitalization cost,length of stay and outcome.Methods The data of children admitted in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from December 1st to 31st 2014 were collected,and those whose serum creatinine (Scr) were measured at least two times were selected.Patients were diagnosed as AKI according to the diagnostic criteria of 2012 Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes,then divided into AKI group and non-AKI group,the former of which was further divided into AKI1 group (Scr peak value in normal range) and AKI2 group (Scr peak value above normal range).The causes and impact of AKI on hospitalization cost,length of stay and outcome in different groups were compared and analyzed.Results (1) Among 921 patients with at least two Scr results,170 patients met with the diagnostic criteria of AKI,including 100 males and 70 females.There were 112(65.9%) in AKI stage 1,43(25.3%) in stage 2,and 15(8.8%) in stage 3.The overall prevalence of AKI was 18.5%.With only 7cases getting diagnosed,the diagnostic rate was 4.1%,while 95.9% of patients missed diagnosis.(2)Among AKI patients,67 cases had pre-renal causes,103 cases had intra-renal causes and mixed factors.100(58.8%) cases got complete recovery,34(20.0%) cases recovered partially and 36(21.2%)cases did not improve,including 4 cases of death.(3) The prevalence of AKI among those below 1-year old was higher than children elder than 1-year (23.0% vs 15.5%,P=0.004).The prevalence of AKI in surgical ward was higher than medical ward (30.7% vs 15.8%,P < 0.001).(4) Compared with those in non-AKI group,there was lower age [1.1(0.2,3.5) year vs 2.0(0.3,4.9) year] and higher hospitalization time[12.5(8.0,20.0) d vs 8.0(6.0,11.0) d],hospitalization costs [25 279.2(13 822.8,48 856.7) yuan vs 12 616.9(8680.1,19 345.1) yuan] and mortality (2.4% vs 0.3%) in AKI group (all P < 0.05).(5) There were 126 cases in AKL group and 44 cases in AKI2 group.The costs of hospitalization,outcome and mortality showed no difference between two groups (all P > 0.05).The hospitalization time in AKI2 group was shorter than that in AKL group (P=0.038).Conclusions Among hospitalized children the missed diagnosis rate of AKI is high.Pre-renal factor is the main cause of AKI.Children younger than 1-year old are more susceptible to AKI.AKI children have lower age and higher hospitalization time,hospitalization costs and mortality than non-AKI children.The effect of Scr fluctuation within normal levels needs to be further studied.

Objective:
To compare the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil versus cyclosporine A in treating children with primary refractory nephrotic syndrome.
Methods:
Conducted a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial in 62 pediatric patients (including 44 boys and 18 girls), age ranged from 2.1 to 17.0 years; 32 cases presented with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) and 30 cases presented with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), who were admitted to department of Nephrology, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from October 2013 to October 2015. The patients received either mycophenolate mofetil (20-30)mg/(kg·d) or cyclosporine A (3-5)mg/(kg·d) randomly, on the basis of prednisone treatment. Follow-up interview was conducted regularly for at least one year. Efficacy rate, relapse rate, time required for induction of remission, relapse-free period and prednisone dosage were compared between the two groups.
Results:
(1) Renal histologic examination, which was available for 17 patients, revealed minimal change disease in 8 patients, mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) in five, membranous nephropathy in two, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in two. (2) Comparison of mycophenolate mofetil versus cyclosporine A in children with FRNS: There were 14 patients with FRNS in mycophenolate mofetil group and 18 patients with FRNS in cyclosporine A group respectively. The relapse rate (episodes/year) in cyclosporine A group was lower than that of mycophenolate mofetil group (1.0 (0.0, 1.0)
