Objective To investigate the impaired characteristics of working memory in Parkinson's disease patients with depression and the recovery status of working memory after antidepressant treatment.methods Totally 60 cases were enrolled in this study and divided into three groups:30 Parkinson's disease patients with depression (PD-D),15 Parkinson's disease patients without depression (PD) and 15 persons without Parkinson's disease as normal controls.All subjects were evaluated with Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-R) audio-visual span,Tower of Hanoi (TOH) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).30 PD-D patients were randomly divided into two subgroups:routine treatment subgroup (8 weeks levodopa therapy) and antidepressant combined treatment subgroup (8 weeks levodopa + citalopram therapy).The evaluation of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),WMS-R audio-visual span,TOH and WCST were performed on these two groups before and after treatment.Result s① There were significant differences comparing PD-D and PD groups with the normal control group in scores of WMS-R,TOH and WCST indicators (P<0.05).There were significant differences in WMS-R visual span,accuracy rate and speed of TOH,as well as the percent errors and percent perseverative responses of WCST comparing PD-D group(11.88±5.91,0.420±0.345,0.408±0.334,0.882±0.253,0.565±0.229) with PD group (15.87±5.21,0.768±0.167,0.634±0.232,0.493±0.161,0.327±0.122) (P<0.05).② Before and after treatment in PD-D routine treatment subgroup,there were significant differences in digital memory and audio-visual memory of WMS-R((6.73±3.72,5.95±3.13) vs (3.77±2.16,1.91±1.58)),accuracy rate of TOH(0.45±0.26 vs 0.23±0.13),as well as percent errors((-0.58±0.17) vs (-0.37±0.14)),percent perseverative responses((-0.32±0.15) vs (-0.14±0.09)),percent conceptual level responses(0.38±0.09 vs 0.13±0.07) and number of categories completed(3.27±1.56 vs 1.06±0.91) of WCST(P<0.05).③ After 4-week treatment and 8-week treatment,there were significant differences in HAMD score comparing PD-D antidepressant combined treatment group(16.33±2.72,10.27±2.66) with PD-D routine treatment group(21.73±2.28,18.4±2.47) (P<0.05).Conclusion Comparing Parkinson's disease patients without depression,the impaired working memory is more serious and extensive in Parkinson's disease patients with depression.Antidepressant treatment can improve the working memory of Parkinson's disease patients with depression.

Objective To identify mutations in the OSMR gene in a pedigree with familial primary cutaneous amyloidosis (FPCA).Methods Clinical data were collected from a pedigree with FPCA.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband,his 19 relatives,and 50 unrelated healthy human controls.Genomic DNA was extracted from these blood samples,and subjected to PCR for the amplification of 18 encoding exons and their flanking sequences of the OSMR gene followed by DNA sequencing.Results A heterozygous missense mutation c.2081C ＞ T,which leads to the substitution of proline by threonine at position 694,was detected in the OSMR gene of the proband and his affected relatives,but not in unaffected relatives or healthy controls.Conclusion The heterozygous mutation p.P694L in the OSMR gene may cause the clinical phenotype of FPCA in this family.

Objective: To explore the evaluations and recipient selection methods of extended criteria donor (ECD) kidney donation in the death of citizens and analyze the transplantation outcomes. Methods: From January to September 2019, the clinical data of donor-recipients were retrospectively studied. The recipients of ECD donor kidneys not evaluated for kidney zero puncture assessment from January 2014 to July 2016 were group A1 and those receiving standard donor kidney (SCD) belonged to group A2. From August 2016 to March 2019, all DCD donors were routinely evaluated for kidney zero puncture and those receiving ECD recipients fell into Group B1 and those receiving SCD belonged to Group B2. Analysis was performed for ECD/SCD donor renal zero puncture pathological features and lesion degree and utilization of ECD donor kidney; donor-recipient body surface area (BSA) ratio and lesion degree of ECD donor kidney on recipient selecting and matching. Serum creatinine value, perioperative adverse events and 1-year follow-up of human/kidney survival rate in each group were compared at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Results: A total of 108, 264, 306 and 416 recipients were recruited into A1, A2, B1 and B2 groups respectively. The ECD donor renal utilization rate was 88.5% vs 93.3% during two time periods. According to the 2016 Banff standard, glomerular sclerosis (GS), renal interstitial fibrosis (Ci) and intimal fibrosis thickening (Cv), small arterial intimal hyalinization (ah), tubular atrophy (ct) and acute tubular injury (ati) accounted for more than B1 group than B2 group (P<0.05). The severity of ECD donor kidney disease, BSA ratio <1.1 group and ≥1.1 group 1 week, 1 month, 3 months postoperative blood creatinine value was lower than the former while declining amplitude of blood creatinine was higher. A significant difference existed in the degree of moderate lesions in donor kidney (P<0.05). After 1 year, serum creatinine value of B1 group was lower than that of A1 group (P<0.05). Conclusions The quality of ECD donor kidney is obviously inferior to that of SCD donor kidney. The Banff donor kidney criterion is an effective mode of evaluating the quality of ECD donor kidney. Based upon the extent of Banff's nephropathy, the ratio of donor/recipient BSA is an important selecting method for ECD donors to receive kidneys and recipients, ultimately improving graft utilization and recipient transplantation.

Objective To explore the long-term clinical effect of kidney transplantation in children.Methods The clinical data of 53 children with kidney transplantation from March 2008 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The influence of the dependent factors on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (greater than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or ＜90 mL/min/1.73 m2) was estimated in the three years after the operation,and the influencing factors were analyzed by the dual logistic regression equation.Results There were 19 cases of living donors,17 cases of organ donors after death,and 6 others.The 53 patients were followed up for 3-9 years.The level of blood creatinine was decreased from the preoperative (820.1 ± 323.1) μmol/L to (51.6 ± 24.9) μmol/L 3 years after the operation (P＜0.05).eGFR was increased to (103.5 ± 11.4) mL/min/1.73 m2at 3rd year after the operation from the preoperative (17.1 ± 7.8) mL/min/1.73 m2 (P＜0.05).The age of recipients,preoperative dialysis time,number of HLA mismatching and postoperative delayed graft function healing (DGF),rejection and infection were the influencing factors of eGFR at 3rd year postoperation (P＜0.05).The multi-factor binary logistic regression equation analysis showed that only rejection was the risk factor for eGFR at 3rd year p0ostoperation.Eight cases of DGF (8/53,15.1％) recovered rapidly.There were 6 cases of acute rejection (6/47,12.8 ％) and 1 case of chronic rejection (1/47,2.1％).There were 9 cases of infection (9/47,19.1％).There were 6 cases of recurrence after surgery.The 3-year recipient and kidney survival rate was 94.3％ (50/53) and 88.7％ (47/53) respectively.The average height of the patients in the first,second and third year after the surgery was increased by (4.6 ± 1.9) cm (0.5-19.1 cm),(3.7 ± 1.8) cm (0.7-14.3 cm) and (2.8± 1.2) cm (0.3-8.7 cm) respectively.Conclusion The long-term effect of children kidney transplantation is satisfactory.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric organ donation after death. Methods Clinical data of donors and recipients undergoing en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric donor kidneys were retrospectively analyzed. The 1-year survival rates of the recipient and grafted kidney were calculated. The recovery of renal function at postoperative 1 year was observed. The changes in the length of grafted kidney and incidence of postoperative adverse events were monitored. Results The 1-year survival rate of the recipients was 8/9, and 72% for the grafted kidney. During 1-year follow-up, the serum creatinine (Scr) level was down-regulated from (747± 170) μmol/L before transplantation to (83±27) μmol/L post-transplantation, the blood urea nitrogen concentration was decreased from (24.5±4.9) mmol/L to (6.8±2.0) mmol/L, and the length of transplanted kidney was increased from (61.1±9.8) mm to (100.3±1.7) mm. Two recipients suffered from delayed graft function(DGF) and restored after hemodialysis. Two cases developed acute rejection and healed after methylprednisolone shock therapy. One recipient presented with lung fungal infection at postoperative 2 weeks after transplantation, and was treated by the withdrawal of immunosuppressive agents and antibacterial treatment with poor clinical efficacy. Then the recipient died at 3rd month. One case had renal arterial thrombosis at postoperative 7 d, underwent nephrectomy at postoperative 10 d and returned to hemodialysis. At postoperative 1st month, one recipient suffered from thrombosis of unilateral renal artery. The grafted kidney in other side normally functioned and significantly grew in size at postoperative 6 months. In addition, two cases had ureterostenosis of the transplanted kidney, albuminuria in 2, abdominal aortic stenosis in 1 and urinary fistula in 1. All these symptoms were cured or alleviated after corresponding treatment. Conclusions The incidence of perioperative complications is relatively high in en-bloc kidney transplantation from pediatric organ donation after death, whereas the clinical efficacy of such kidney transplantation can be gradually increased along with the accumulation of clinical experience.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of vascular complications induced by hyaluronic acid facial injection.Methods:Patients with vascular complication induced by facial hyaluronic acid facial injection were collected in the Fourth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from January 1, 2016 to October 1, 2021, including 5 males and 37 females. The age ranged from 16 to 70 (34±10) years. The clinical data, injection site, clinical symptoms and previous facial surgery history of the patients were analyzed and investigated.Results:Vascular complications occurred in 12 cases (28.6%). Nasolabial fold in 8 (19.0%) cases; Glabella in 6 (14.3%) cases; frontal part in 6 (14.3%) cases. There were 27 patients (64.3%) with a history of facial surgery. Furthermore, history of facial surgery had no effect on the clinical manifestations of vascular complications ( P>0.05). Among the 18 patients with visual impairment, 12 patients reported that the symptoms of ptosis, bulbar conjunctival congestion, and eye movement dysfunction had diminished after thrombolytic treatment, while 4 patients showed recovery to some extent in visual acuity. Likewise, 24 patients with blood circulation disorders were healed after treatment, with residual pigmentation and a slight scar left. Conclusions:Women aged 30 to 39 years old are the main target population of cosmetic surgery, as well as the most common population of vascular complications. Particular care should be taken in the nose, nasolabial fold, glabella and forehead areas of the operation. Patients with previous surgical history should be adequately informed before surgery, and postoperative observation time should be appropriately prolonged.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of albumin/globulin ratio on postoperative survival outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Data of 630 patients with HCC, who underwent surgical resection from February 2009 to July 2013, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into low-value group (A/G < 1.5, defined as L group) and high-value group (A/G≥1.5, defined as H group), and their distribution characteristics were observed with the normal A/G threshold value. Independent risk factors’ affecting survival and prognosis was analyzed with univariate and multivariate Cox’s regression model. Survival trend of all patients with low-value and high-value groups in A, B and C of Barcelona stage (BCLC stage) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative A/G ratio (P = 0.007), alpha-fetoprotein (P < 0.001), gamma-glutamyltransferase (P = 0.006), RBC (P = 0.014), international normalized ratio (P = 0.009), preoperative BCLC staging (P < 0.001) and number of tumors (P = 0.003), and intraoperative blood transfusion (P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors affecting long-term survival in HCC patients. The median overall survival time in-group L was 15 months, significantly lower than that in group H of 42 months (P < 0.001). Stratified analysis showed that the short-term survival advantage of patients with high A / G value was limited to those with Barcelona stage A (P < 0.001), and disappeared in patients with Barcelona stage B and C (P > 0.05). The long-term survival advantage existed in patients with Barcelona stage A (P < 0.001), B (P < 0.05), and disappeared in C (P > 0.05). Conclusion Preoperative albumin/globulin ratio can predict postoperative prognosis and survival, and direct towards the treatment for early stage of HCC and thus representing as an indicator of high clinical value.

Objective:To summarize the patient profiles and therapeutic efficacies of ABO-incompatible living-related kidney transplantations at 19 domestic transplant centers and provide rationales for clinical application of ABOi-KT.Methods:Clinical cases of ABO-incompatible/compatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT/ABOc-KT) from December 2006 to December 2009 were collected. Then, statistical analyses were conducted from the aspects of tissue matching, perioperative managements, complications and survival rates of renal allograft or recipients.Results:Clinical data of 342 ABOi-KT and 779 ABOc-KT indicated that (1) no inter-group differences existed in age, body mass index (BMI), donor-recipient relationship or waiting time of pre-operative dialysis; (2) ABO blood type: blood type O recipients had the longest waiting list and transplantations from blood type A to blood type O accounted for the largest proportion; (3) HLA matching: no statistical significance existed in mismatch rate or positive rate of PRA I/II between two types of surgery; (4) CD20 should be properly used on the basis of different phrases; (5) hemorrhage was a common complication during an early postoperative period and microthrombosis appeared later; (6) no difference existed in postoperative incidence of complications or survival rate of renal allograft and recipients at 1/3/5/10 years between ABOi-KT and ABOc-KT. The acute rejection rate and serum creatinine levels of ABOi-KT recipients were comparable to those of ABOc-KT recipients within 1 year.Conclusions:ABOi-KT is both safe and effective so that it may be applied at all transplant centers as needed.
