Objective To explore mRNA and protein expression of PAl-1 in kidney tissue of mice with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and the effects of YiShen Decoction. Methods The IgAN model was built by the method of oral intake of bovine serum albumin(BSA)together with the injection of staphylococcus enterotoxin B(SEB)through caudal vein. The mRNA expression of PAI-1 was measured by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PER)and the expression of PAI-1 protein was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results No significant difference of mRNA and protein expression of PAI-1 was found between the low concentration and high concentration Yishen Decoction group. But the secretion and mRNA expression of PAI-1 in the low and hiigh concentration Yishen Decoction group was decreased more than that in the IgAN model group. Conclusion The abnormal expression of PAI-1 mRNA and protein played an important role in the onset and development of IgAN. The TCM Yishen Decoction could reduce the abnormal expression of the mRNA and protein of PAI-1 in kidney tissue of mice with IgA nephropathy.

Objective To observe the effect of fleabane injection on serum level of D-dimer, fibrinogen and hypersensitive C-reactive protein in patients with IgA nephropathy and to explore the mechanism of fleabane injection for treating IgA nephropathy. Methods 29 patients with IgA nephropathy were given fleabane injection together with routine treatment. Another group of 28 patients with IgA nephropathy were only treated with routine treatment as con-trol. Determinations of 24 hours urine protein output(24HPQ), serum level of D-dimer(D-D), Fibrinogen(Fib) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were carried out pre- and post-study. Results Significant decrease in 24HPQ , serum level of D-D, Fib and hsCRP were observed in both treatment group and control group(P <0. 01 ~0. 05), but more significant in treatment group as compared with control group ( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Flea-bane Injection plus routine treatment could significantly decrease 24HPQ in patients with IgA nephropathy, and this maybe contribute to regulation of D-D, Fib and hsCRP by fleabane injection.

Objective:
To clarify the relationship between the hemoglobin level and renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T) in the Oxford stage of renal pathology in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.
Methods:
Patients diagnosed with IgAN by renal biopsy from January 1st 2010 to December 31st 2015 in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital with complete laboratory and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into anemic group and non-anemic group. The relationship between hemoglobin level and renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was determined by logistic regression analysis. The possible curve relationship between hemoglobin and renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was analyzed by smooth curve fitting analysis. The diagnostic value of hemoglobin for renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was analyzed by the receiver operating curve (ROC).
Results:
A total of 630 patients with IgAN were included in this study, 130 patients in the anemia group (20.63%) and 500 patients in the non-anemia group (79.37%). There was no statistically significant difference in age between the two groups, but the difference of the gender was statistically significant (male 35.38% vs 53.80%,

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum C3 and glomerular microthrombosis in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods:Patients who were diagnosed as LN by renal biopsy hospitalized in Department of Nephrology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University from January 2010 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed and they were divided into glomerular microthrombosis group (GMT group) and non-glomerular microthrombosis group (non-GMT group). The demographic data, clinical characteristics, pathology and prognosis of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression and smooth curve fitting of generalized additive mixed model analysis were used to explore the correlation between serum C3 and glomerular microthrombosis. Renal prognosis of the two groups were compared by the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:A total of 116 patients were enrolled, aged (32.79±11.43) years old, in which 108 cases (93.10%) were female. Thirty-seven patients (31.90%) were confirmed to be combined with GMT (GMT group) and 79 cases were not (non-GMT group). Compared with the non-GMT group, patients in the GMT group were relatively older ( t=-2.876, P=0.002), with higher proportion of hypertension ( χ2=7.492, P=0.006), higher urine protein quantitation ( Z=-2.115, P=0.003), lower levels of eGFR and serum complement C3 ( Z=3.469, P<0.001; t=1.744, P<0.001), higher systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index ( t=-2.758, P=0.007). As to the pathological characteristics, type IV LN patients were the majority (72.97%). Proportion of crescents and pathological activity indicators of the GMT group were higher ( Z=-1.866, P=0.002; t=-5.005, P<0.001), nuclear fragmentation, endothelial hyperplasia and renal tubular atrophy were more serious ( χ2=14.987, P<0.001; χ2=15.695, P<0.001; χ2=4.130, P=0.042). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that serum complement C3 was a relational factor of the formation of GMT in LN patients ( OR=0.966, 95% CI 0.938-0.995, P=0.023). Smooth curve fitting of generalized additive mixed model analysis indicated that level of complement C3 had a linear relationship with the changing trend of GMT. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that there were statistical differences between the two groups in terms of complete remission of urine protein (Log-rank χ2=5.858, P=0.016) and doubled serum creatinine/end-stage renal disease (Log-rank χ2=3.945, P=0.047). Conclusions:Serum C3 is closely related to the formation of GMT in LN patients, and statistical differences were demonstrated in the renal prognosis of GMT group and non-GMT group.

Objective:To explore the relationship between segmental glomerulosclerosis and the change of renal function in IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods:It was a single-center retrospective cohort study. The patients with biopsy-proven primary IgAN who were hospitalized in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2018 were included. Participants with a secondary cause of IgAN, without baseline serum creatinine or renal pathology data for Oxford classification, baseline estimated glomerulofiltration rate (eGFR)<30 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1, follow-up time<6 months, or less than three times measurements of followed-up serum creatinine were excluded. The clinical data, laboratory tests and renal pathology data and so on were collected. Patients were divided into absence of segmental glomerulosclerosis (S0) group and segmental glomerulosclerosis (S1) group according to the Oxford classification. The generalized additive mixed model was used to analyze the associations of segmental glomerulosclerosis and longitudinal renal function decline (Renal function was evaluated by using the eGFR). Results:There were 280 patients included in this study, with 199 patients in S0 group, and 81 patients in S1 group. Compared with S0 group, patients in S1 group exhibited higher levels of triglyceride, serum uric acid as well as 24-hour urinary protein, and a lower level of eGFR, and had higher proportions of tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis (T) (all P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, mean arterial pressure, 24-hour urinary protein, mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary hypercellularity (E), T and crescent (C) in the generalized additive mixed model, the effect value of S1 (the difference of baseline eGFR between S1 group and S0 group) was -14.09 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1. For every additional year, the eGFR of S0 group decreased 1.29 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 (95% CI 0.47-2.12, P=0.002) in average, and eGFR decline in S1 group had 2.85 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 more than that in S0 group [95% CI 1.05-4.64, P=0.002]. Conclusion:Segmental glomerulosclerosis is independently associated with the longitudinal decrease in renal function in patients with IgAN, which suggests therapies targeted for improving the early damages of segmental glomerulosclerosis may be essential to delay the renal function decline progression.

Objective:To establish a diagnostic model for glomerular micro thrombosis (GMT) in lupus nephritis through clinical indicators.Methods:A continuous collection of patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis (LN) by renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, from January 2010 to March 2021. All patients were admitted and discharged through the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, biochemical indicators, and immune indicators were collected. A GMT diagnosis model was established from the most important variables among the abovementioned variables through machine learning and Logistic stepwise regression analysis. The model was presented through a nomogram. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), the clinical decision curve and the calibration curve were used to evaluate the model discrimination, clinical use and accuracy, respectively. The internal verification of the model was carried out by repeated sampling 500 times by the Bootstrap method.Results:There were a total of 129 patients with lupus nephritis including the study, including 117 females (90.7%); the average age was (34±11) years. There were 39 patients with GMT (30.2%). Using machine learning to screen out the top 10 important variables from 47 candidate variables, then through logistic stepwise regression analysis, five variables were further screened to establish the diagnostic model of GMT, namely hemoglobin [ OR(95% CI)=0.966(0.943, 0.990), P=0.005], serum C3 [ OR(95% CI)=0.133(0.022, 0.819), P=0.030], systolic blood pressure [ OR(95% CI)=1.027(1.005, 1.049), P=0.017], lymphocyte count [ OR(95% CI)=0.462(0.213, 0.999), P=0.049], and TT [ OR(95% CI)=1.260(0.993, 1.597), P=0.057]. Draw up the equation of the GMT diagnosis model of lupus nephritis and establish a nomogram to present the model. The area under curve (AUC) of the diagnostic model was 0.823, 95% CI(0.753, 0.893), indicating that the model had a reasonable degree of discrimin-ation. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a perfect fit between the predicted GMT risk and the observed GMT risk ( χ2= 14.62, P=0.067). The clinical decision curve and clinical impact curve reflect that the model had a good clinical application value, especially when the threshold probability is between 0.4 and 0.6, the application value is more significant. In addition, after 500 repeated samplings by the Bootstrap method, the average AUC was 0.825, 95% CI(0.753, 0.893), which is basically the same as the AUC obtained by the original model. Conclusion:We established a diagnostic model of GMT inLN based on clinical indicators through machine learning and logistic stepwise regression analysis. It is used for early diagnosis of the risk of GMT before the renal biopsy.
