Objective To detect the prevalence of hyperuricemia and its relationship to chronic kidney disease(CKD) in the residents of Guangxi, and to discuss the risk factors for the hyperuricemia associated renal damage. Methods The residents aged 18-75 years old(n=6 273) in Xiangshan community,Guilin, were screened by means of cross-sectional study. Blood pressure was measured at 8:00-9:00.Fasting blood and urine samples were collected to determine blood glucose, lipid, insulin, creatinine, and urine albumin. Results The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the community residents was 23.5% in all cohort, being significantly higher in male residents than in female(28.4% vs 19.7%,P<0.01). The prevalence of CKD was 21.6% in all cohort, and was 24.9% in males and 19.0% in females(P<0.01). The prevalence of CKD was 30.4% and 18.9% respectively in residents with and without hyperuricemia(P<0.01).The prevalence of CKD in males with hyperuricemia(34.3%) was significantly higher than in males without hyperuricemia(21.2%) and females with hyperuricemia(25.9%, all P<0.01). CKD was only positively related to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood glucose, and systolic blood pressure shown by logistic regression analysis. Conclusions The prevalence of hyperuricemia markedly increases in the urban residents, which contribute to the raised prevalence of CKD. Slightly elevated blood uric acid level is associated with raised prevalence of CKD.

Objective To compare the serum peptidome spectrum between nephrotic syndrome patients and normal controls, and to search for their variations. Methods The serum peptide profiling was determined by ClinProt magnetic bead enrichment and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in 17 mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) patients, 12 minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) patients, 10 membranous nephropathy (MN) patients, 10 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patients, and 10 healthy volunteers. Results 5 differentially expressed polypeptides were screened out between MsPGN and normal controls (15.28±7.61, P<0.01). 7 differentially expressed polypeptides were screened out between MCNS and normal controls (2.16±1.59, P<0.01). 6 differential expressed polypeptides were screened out between MN and normal controls (35.48±13.71, P<0.01). 5 differential expressed polypeptides were screened out between FSGS and normal controls (18.06±8.07, P<0.05). The statistical significance was set at P<0.05. A Genetic Algorithm was used to set up the classification model between patients and normal controls. The model separated MsPGN, MCNS, MN and FSGS group from normal controls with a cross validation of 96.18%, 100%, 98.53% and 94.12%, respectively. The recognition capabilities were 100%. Conclusions The study established the serum peptidome spectrum for nephrotic syndrome by proteomic technology, and provided a new viewpoint to better understand the pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome.

BACKGROUND:Multimodal analgesia provides sufficient analgesia in renal recipients and appears to be associated with the recovery of renal function after transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of multimodal analgesia with dezocine on postoperative immunity after renal transplantation, and discuss the appropriate analgesic drugs and methods for patients with renal transplantation. METHODS:Forty patients undergoing renal transplantation were randomly divided into two groups. They al received general anesthesia combined with epidural blockage. Control group received intramuscular injection of analgesic drugs when needed, while dezocine group received multimodal analgesia:preemptive anaIgesia with dezocine+patient-control ed epidural analgesia. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and saturation of blood oxygen were detected before anesthesia, 12, 24, 48 hours after transplantation. T lymphocyte subsets, interleukin-2, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels in venous blood were measured before anesthesia, 12, 24, 48 hours after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with before anesthesia, the CD4+, CD8+cellsubset counts, CD4+/CD8+ratio, the levels of interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 were decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the levels of interleukin were significantly increased after transplantation in the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative CD4+cellsubset counts, the levels of interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 were significantly lower at 12 hours after transplantation than that before anesthesia (P<0.05), then recovered to normal levels at 24 hours in dezocine group. The postoperative CD8+cellsubset counts, CD8+and CD4+/CD8+ratio were not changed before and after transplantation in the dezocine group. The levels of interleukin-10 in the dezocine group were significantly increased at 48 hours after transplantation compared with before anesthesia (P<0.05), which was stil lower than that in control group (P<0.05). Multimodal analgesia with dezocine can effectively protect the immune system, promote short-term turnover of renal function, and prolong graft survival for patients with renal transplantation.
