Objective To investigate the incidence and the relation between pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cardiac output in hemodialysis (HD) patients with PH. Methods The incidence of PH was estimated with Doppler echocardiography in 78 patients receiving HD. Left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac volume, cardiac output and cardiac index were compared between patients with or without PH. Results PH was found in 20 patients (25.64%), among them15 had mild PH, 4 had moderate PH and 1 had severe PH. There was no statistical difference of ejection fraction, cardiac volume, cardiac output and cardiac index between the two groups. PH was not related to cardiac output. Conclusion HD can lead to PH, but cardiac output can not result in PH. Further investigations about the effect of elevated cardiac output induced by internal arteriovenous fistula and other factors on PH are needed.

Objective To investigate the prevalence ,clinical features and prognosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in maintenance bemodialysis (MHD) patients for early diagnosis and treatment. Methods Complete clinical data of 184 MHD patients in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between January 2000 and December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. PAH diagnosis depended on echocardiography. Results Sixty-five (35.3%) patients were found having PAH, including 31 females and 34 males, with mean (56.84±14.58) years old. The mean bemadialysis duration was (29.69±21.61) months. Among 65 patients with PAH, arteriovenous fistula was used in 61 patients and central venous catheter in 4 patients. The systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (SPAP) was (44.56±8.25) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) in PAH group, which was significantly higher than (30.28±3.92) mm Hg in non-PAH group. There were significant differences of interval dialysis weight gain (IDWG), Hb, Hct, right atrial diameter, pulmonary artery diameter and right ventricular diameter between PAH group and non-PAH group (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed anemia, IDWG and right atrial diameter were independent factors (P< 0.05). There were no significant differences of age, dialysis duration, serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone (PTH) between two groups. Conclusions PAH is a common complication of MHD patients. Patients with mild PAH had few clinical manifestations and good therapeutic responses, but severe PAH may be associated with poor prognos is. Doppler echocardiography should be performed periodically to detect PAH in MHD patients.

Objective To observe the effects of dietary nursing based on macroscopic and microscopic syndrome differentiation on the compliance, clinical efficacy and quality of life (QOL) of ulcerative colitis patients with damp-heat in large intestine. Methods One hundred and ten cases meeting the diagnostic criteria of ulcerative colitis patients with damp-heat in large intestine were divided into routine group and observation group, 55 cases in each group. Both groups were given oral use of Sulfasalazine Tablets, and routine health education and dietary nursing for ulcerative colitis patients with damp-heat in large intestine. Additionally, the observation group was given dietary nursing based on macroscopic syndrome differentiation and colonoscopic microscopic syndrome differentiation. One month constituted a treatment course. After 6 courses of treatment, the compliance, clinical efficacy and QOL of the two groups were compared. Results (1) The incidence of medication missing or suspension in the routine group was 14.55%, while the incidence of diet missing or suspension in the observation group was 1.82%, the difference between the two groups being statistically significant (P < 0.01). (2) In the routine group, the cure rate was 5.5% and the total effective rate was 81.8%; in the observation group, the cure rate was 12.7% and the total effective rate was 92.7%. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).(3) The scores of each dimension of QOL scale in the observation group were higher than those of the routine group (P < 0.05) , indicating that the improvement of QOL in the observation group was superior to that of the routine group. Conclusion The compliance, clinical efficacy and QOL of ulcerative colitis patients with damp-heat in large intestine are enhanced after treatment with dietary nursing based onmacroscopic and microscopic syndrome differentiation.

Objective:To compare the clinicopathological differences between elderly and non-elderly patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN).Methods:Patients diagnosed with IMN via renal biopsy at Beijing Huairou Hospital, Beijing Changping Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to August 2021 were retrospectively enrolled.They were classified into the elderly group(≥65 years)and the non-elderly group(<65 years), and the clinicopathological differences between the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 207 IMN patients were included in the study, with a male to female ratio of 1.7∶1.0.There were 56 patients in the elderly group, aged(68.2±3.1)years, and 151 patients in the non-elderly group, aged(48.2±6.2)years.Compared with the non-elderly group, the elderly group had a longer time from onset to renal biopsy and a higher proportion of patients with renal insufficiency and hypertension( P<0.05). The elderly group had a lower eGFR, lower serum albumin, higher serum cholesterol, and higher low-density lipoprotein than the non-elderly group( P<0.05). The proportions of patients with glomerulosclerosis, renal tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis in the elderly group were higher than in the non-elderly group( P<0.05). The positive rates of glomerular PLA2R antigen staining in the two groups were 90.6%(29/32)and 91.0%(111/122), respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.IgG4 deposition represented the most common IgG subtype, with 93.8%(30/32)in the elderly group and 94.3%(115/122)in the non-elderly group.There was no statistical significance between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with non-elderly IMN patients, a higher proportion of elderly IMN patients has renal insufficiency, hypertension and chronic renal pathology.The glomerular deposition of pathogenic antigens in elderly IMN patients was similar to that in non-elderly IMN patients, suggesting no difference in pathogenesis between the two groups.The clinicopathological differences between the two groups may be related to age and complications.
