Objective To explore and provide guidelines for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of primary nephrotic syndrome complicated with acute pancreatitis. Methods The clinical data of 14 children with primary nephrotic syndrome complicated with acute pancreatitis during September 2013 to September 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results In 14 children (6 males and 8 females) aged 3 to 15 years. all children presented massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, varying degrees of edema, hyperlipidemia and pain in upper abdomen or left hypochondrium. Seven children had nausea and vomiting, and their amylase in serum and urine fluctuated at 392–802 U/L and 561–3180 U/L, and the lipase level was 339.1±2.52 U/L. After supportive treatment, 13 children were cured from pancreatitis except one who gave up the treatment. Conclusion Due to infection, coagulation disorder, hyperlipidemia and drug application in primary nephrotic syndrome, acute pancreatitis may be induced. Clinician should be alerted to it and early diagnosis and treatment were needed for acute pancreatitis.

ObjectiveTo study the correlations between Berg balance scale (BBS) and balance subscale of Fugl-Meyer test (FM-B), and evaluate their practicability for assessing balance function of patients after stroke.Methods68 stroke inpatients were assessed with BBS, FM-B and BPM before training. After training they were re-assessed by the same researcher. The parameters of BPM were sway index, sway tract length and area. The patients were assessed twice with eye opened and eye closed respectively.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the score of FM-B between the first assessment and after training (P>0.05), while that of BBS and BPM after training were better than before the training (P<0.001). There was moderate correlation between FM-B and BBS (r=0.517,P<0.001), but there was no correlation between FM-B and BPM (r=-0.074~-0.247,P>0.05). There was moderate negative correlation between BMP and BBS (r=-0.410~-0.587,P<0.01).ConclusionBBS and BPM are good tools for assessing balance function of stroke patients; FM-B shows low sensitivity and is not suitable for assessing stroke patients.
