Objective To explore the clinical therapeutic effectiveness,safety and feasibility clinical of leflunomide and cyclophosphamide on lupus nephritis.Methods 34 cases with lupus nephritis were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the time of admission during January 2013 to July 2014 in Shangdong Jining NO.1 People’s Hospital.17 cases in observation group were given leflunomide;17 cases in control group were given cyclophosphamide,six months was a period of treatment.Two groups were in the process of therapy observed and recorded changes in liver and lidney function indexes,serum albumin 24-hour urinary protein,anti-double stranded DNA antibody titers before and after treatment.At the end of a course, the basic activities of the two groups of lupus index were evaluation.Results The total effective rate in control group was 70.5%, and that was 88.2% in the observation group, there was no difference significant.Compared with the other indexes before and after treatment were statistically significance (P<0.05); the incidence of adverse events in the control group was 42.9%, the incidence of adverse events in the observation group was 14.3%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Leflunomide in treatment of lupus nephritis has significant effect, less side effects and high safety.

Objective To explore the clinical and pathological features, treatment, and prognosis of capillary proliferative purpura nephritis (DEP-HSPN) in children.MethodsThe clinical data of 19 children diagnosed with DEP-HSPN were retrospectively analysis. Fifty-five children diagnosed with HSPN by renal biopsy were randomly selected as control group. ResultsThe average age was 10.6±2.6 years old, and the average course of disease were 19.4±7.4 days before renal biopsy in 19 children with DEP-HSPN (14 males and 5 females) who make up 3.92% of anaphylactic purpura nephritis children conifrmed by renal biopsy in the same period. In these 19 children, there were 10 cases having nephrotic syndrome and 9 case having hematuria and proteinuria type, all of whom were received immunosuppressive therapy. Finally, 14 cases achieved completely remission and 5 cases had partly remission. All of their classiifcations of renal pathology wereⅢb levels, accompanied with 6.38% to 36.36% of crescents. Compared with 55 age and sex matched children with renal pathology classiifcation ofⅢb, the DEP-HSPN children had shorter disease course, higher level of proteinuria, and lower pathological score of chronic renal injury (P all?0.05). There was similar percentage of crescent between two groups.ConclusionsChildren with DEP-HSPN usually have rapid onset, severe clinical manifestations, more active lesions and less chronic lesions. There is no evidence that the capillary proliferative lesion is a risk factor in the prognosis of HSPN so far.

Guided by the theory of "kidney generates marrow", the study elaborates the viewpoint that the route of Yin Heel Channel (阴跷脉) is consistent with the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis from the perspective of the circulation of the meridians and the relationship between the zang-fu organs. Accordingly, it is believed that disease of Yin Heel Channel and dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis are the core pathogenesis of children enuresis, and it is elaborated from the following three major aspects, firstly, insufficient kidney essence, dysfunction of the "kidney-marrow-brain" axis, secondly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and deficiency and cold in lower jiao, and thirdly, disease of Yin Heel Channel and loss of nourishment of Chong Vessel. It is proposed to use the mode of "firstly needle, secondly moxibustion, and lastly consolidation" to treat children enuresis. Needle is to adjust yin and yang, warm yang and tonify kidney, and wake up the brain and open the orifices. The acupoints in Yin Heel Channel such as Zhaohai (KI 6), Jiaoxin (KI 8) and confluence points of the eight extraordinary vessels such as Waiguan (TE 5), Zulinqi (GB 41) are used, together with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qixue (KI 13), Dazhong (KI 4). Moxibustion is to reinforce healthy qi and warm yang, bank up the root and consolidate the original qi by moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8), Mingmen (GV 4), and Xuanshu (GV 5). Consolidation is to use acupoints application to consolidate the therapeutic effect, and Guanyuan (CV 4) & Pangguangshu (BL 28), Qihai (CV 6) & Zhishi (BL 52), and Shenque (CV 8) & Ciliao (BL 32) are commonly used as the three groups of acupoints to warm the kidney and stop collapse, regulate and tonify the qi and blood.
