Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic disease characterized by small vessel wall inflammation and cellulose necrosis mediated by ANCA. Renal injury caused by AAV is called ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN). The paper reported a case of AAV with renal damage combined with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The patient was an elderly male with clinical manifestations of hematuria and uremia. Renal pathological examination showed AAV and renal injury. This case is the first report in China while reviewing the relevant literature, and it is still inconclusive whether this is an overlap of the two diseases or a specific pathological type of HIV-associated nephritis. We believe that AAV has the potential to occur in HIV-infected patients, so clinicians should not ignore the phenomenon of ANCA positivity in HIV-infected patients, and the follow-up of such patients needs to be enhanced. Clinical and renal pathological examinations are the main methods to diagnose HIV infection with AAV. At the same time, there are no clear guideline guidelines on how to administer immunosuppressive therapy for such patients who have immunodeficiency and are at higher risk of opportunistic infections, and in whom to make the best possible outcomes.

Objectives:To identify the two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI)-derived longitudinal strain indices that reflect the myocardial functional characteristics of patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM). Methods:This retrospective study included 30 patients with typical AHCM diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2015 to May 2019 (AHCM group),35 patients with essential hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (HTLVH group),and 45 healthy volunteers (normal control group) were also included.Two-dimensional echocardiography was used to measure the cardiac chamber size and wall thickness,and 2D-STI was used to analyze the longitudinal strain during the left ventricular systolic phase,the global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the longitudinal strain of the apical,mid,and basal segments (LSA,LSM,LSB) were assessed.The ratios of the apical to the overall and other segmental longitudinal strains were used as the apical relative longitudinal strain indices,including the apical to basal longitudinal strain ratio (ABLR,LSA/LSB),the apical to global longitudinal strain ratio (AGLR,LSA/GLS),and the apical to basal-mid segment longitudinal strain ratio (ABMLR,LSA/[LSB+LSM]). Results:GLS was significantly lower in the AHCM group and HTLVH group than in the normal control group (both P<0.05),and was similar between the AHCM group and HTLVH group (P>0.05).The LSA,LSM,and LSB were also significantly lower in the AHCM group and HTLVH group than in the normal control group,LSA decrease was more significant in the AHCM group as compared to the HTLVH group,while the HTLVH group was mainly characterized by a decrease in LSB,which was significantly lower as compared to the AHCM group (all P<0.05).Compared with the normal control group,the ABLR,AGLR,and ABMLR were significantly reduced in the AHCM group,while significantly increased in the HTLVH group (all P<0.05).The ROC curve showed that the AUC of ABLR,AGLR,ABMLR,and LSA was 0.873 to 0.916,using<1.28 as the cutoff value of ABLR,the sensitivity was 90.0% and specificity was 88.7% for diagnosing AHCM. Conclusions:The apical relative longitudinal strain indices can reflect the myocardial functional characteristics of AHCM patients,which are better than single apical longitudinal strain value.As the most representative indice,ABLR may be useful in distinguishing AHCM from left ventricular hypertrophy caused by other diseases,and can be used as a parameter for the evaluation of myocardial function damage in AHCM.
